So I was just messing around in the Lore forums when I saw someone babbling on about CHIM and Amaranth and all that. Needless to say my whole view of the Elder Scrolls was shattered and reshaped (After about an hour of being confused as hell). So now I know that ES is a wheel which doubles as a tower and all that jazz. Needless to say I love Elder Scrolls much more now. But I am left with two questions.
The same thing happened to me awhile back. It gives you a deeper apprecation for the series and gives it a lot more interesting depth, rather than just another fantasy world.
Not sure on your first question, since I don't know a lot about the Skaal.
I think M'aiq has CHIM, since some people bring him up a lot, I could be wrong though.
