User:ScholarOfTheScrolls

Drem yol lok, I am ScholarOfTheScrolls (aka CHIM Shady and Joe King) but you may call me Gandalf/Gaydalf/Gundorf/Joe/Joey/Batdalf,Mcmethmaker/whatever. I quite enjoy playing Video Games with my favourite being The Elder Scrolls saga. I come here to see what the TES community are up to now and then as you do. I can be found in the TES chat often (since I'm a Chat Ordinator/Moderator). I'm a wizard (well actually the most powerful wizard as my trophy will tell you) who represents the Great House Telvanni, as well as a poet or what the nords call a "skald" who keeps the TESwikia chat at peace from lawbreakers. Details below.

TES Lore and me
I've been playing TES since 2009, although I never really took an interest in the lore until Skyrim came out, still I consider myself fairly adaquate when it comes to lore, I know about CHIM, Enatiomorphs, Kalpic cycles etc all that big stuff, so feel free to ask me a question and I'll see if I can answer it (don't mistake me for a lore-master though).



Scholar Of The Scrolls
And of course my name is ScholarOfTheScrolls so I may as well place down my thought on the Scrolls (Elder Scrolls), I understand they are the timeless kalpic tape-recorders, record the events of a kalpa and then tell the next kalpa the events of the previous Kalpa(s). Although kalpas are always different in some ways and so the Elder Scrolls are not correct 100% of the time. I still think I was a bit hasty with the name but it's now attached to me as if it enatiomorphed with me so fat chance of me changing it.



My opinion on Talos
I recognise Talos for what he is, the result of 3 people enatiomorphing (Tiber Septim Wulfharth and Zurin Arctus) who need to be worshipped in order to prevent the Thalmor from erasing mankind from the Aurbis, I have no problem with Talos but 1 of the 3 people I hate, (Tiber) for being a bit of a prat. A good example of that being the issue with Barenziah. I'm a bit tired of people praising Tiber as a hero but what can you do?

My Opinion on the Godhead and the Dream
You hate the idea of TES being a dream? I did once, although I have no problem with it now, mainly because I think of being a dream not affecting how real the universe is, if you ask me it's all real and it's merely the mortal defintion of what a dream is that puts people off, I like to think the Godhead dreamed everyone up but instead of it being nothing but an illusion like a mortal would tell you it was instead like him creating everyone like most other creation gods in games and mythology except with his brain alone, although it's all still stored in his head so that still doesn't stop it all from ending when he wakes up. Let's say the Godhead asleep is like a power source running and if he wakes up the power source switches off.

My Opinion on Kirkbride
As for my opinion on the man of many lore related controversies himself, Michael Kirkbride, I'm fine with him, some things of his I like and others I dislike, Enatiomorphs I find to be pretty cool, as well as mantling and I love the lore around Vivec, however I dislike the idea of spaceships and space stations in TES and I especially loathe the Thalmor's victory, and yes I do like C0DA as well, as it allows me to leave things I don't like in his C0DA out of my C0DA.

My Elder Scrolls Characters
My Morrowind Character: Valyn Drenvyr: The legendary reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar. A wise but slightly arrogant Dunmer Battlemage, not one to lash out, is usually calm and tries to handle a situation in the most civil way possible. Not one for law breaking but is a member of legal but controversial factions (House Telvanni and Morag Tong) hates slavery and is responsible for House Telvanni's abolishment of it's use. One of the most powerful Battlemages to ever set foot on Tamriel. Despite being a Nibenese Dunmer he will always put the interests of the Dunmer people before anything else. A bit of a sex addict, he can often be found with a prostitute in bed next to him. Without fear of diseases since his corprus prevents it. He is the champion of Azura and also a devout worshipper of her. Prefers wandering alone to wandering with a companion

My Oblivion Character: Camorus Relidus: The Great Hero of Kvatch. An insane suicidal and psychopathic Imperial Knight, so mad he got kicked out of the legion and imprisoned because of it. He worships the Nine Divines. Very loyal to the Empire but won't let that stop his bloodlust, his psychopathic nature was tamed until his first murder (The Adoring Fan) after which he joined the Dark Brotherhood after being offered. Much like Pelinal he has a habit of randomly screaming a leader's name (Martin) every now and then and never thinks twice when running off into hell. Despite his madness he tries to help the people even to the point of pulling a Robin Hood and stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Was cured of his Psychopathy after a religious experience, although continued to be a raving madman and eventually the Madgod.

My Skyrim Character: Ysvarulv Snow-Song: The Last Dragonborn of legend. A Nordic Dragonborn Warrior who is charismatic, and hearty at times but serious and fearsome at others, headstrong but also very wise. Also power-hungry as his nature requires, will do anything even deeds considered evil for what he thinks will lead to the greater good. Very honourbound even when working as a thief or assassin, often giving targets a chance to defend themselves. Joined the Stormcloaks in the civil war, believing they offer a greater chance against the Dominion, loyal to Ulfric as long as he stays sensible, not hesitant to put him down should he need to. He worships the Nine Divines, mainly Talos and Akatosh, although he's not a fan of Tiber, he understands that Talos is the oversoul of Tiber Wulfharth and Zurin, and not just Tiber on his own. Very skilled warrior, devastating in combat even without of the thu'um (which he does not use often unless he needs to)and an even better archer. Prefers the company of others to being alone, mainly because he spent his harsh childhood alone and also because as he feels lonely enough being the only dragonborn around. Because of this, he feels for Miraak and pities him, and is saddened by the death of the only other dragonborn he will ever meet.

For my ESO characters see below

The Elder Scrolls Online
My ESO name ID name is: Gandalf356

I have three characters

My EP Nord: Hrolfdir Snow-Song: The Soulless One, or Vestige, he is a Nordic Dragonknight and a veteran of the war with the Akaviri, he is is the ancestor of Ysvarulv Snow-Song, the Last Dragonborn. a proud Nord and a proud worshipper of the 8 Divines. his name Snow-Song is well earned as he is one of the greatest bards and poets to ever walk Tamriel, even defeating Vivec in a battle of Poetry (A Tamrielic rap battle pretty much). Like his descendant he is wise but headstrong. While he isn't racist he is a tad bit untrusting to the races of the other factions, however will work with them when necessary and will call them friend if he thinks they have earned it. He is very short tempered and at first a bit too foolhardy, because of this he was killed by Mannimarco after he performed a hasty failed assault on a Worm Cult base. After he escaped Coldharbour he worked to improve himself in that aspect, and he did succeed, becoming an admirable tactician. However that didn't stop him from being killed again during the final battle in Cyrodiil where he was slain by the Aldmeri General: Idrelith Ferandil

My AD Altmer: Idrelith Ferandil: An arrogant and quite snobish Altmer Templar. An Aldmeri soldier who used to be a wandering scholar so he knows much about the Aurbis. As a Templar he is a Holy Knight of Auriel, he believes that the Mer have the true rights to Tamriel, but he welcomes any race that joins the Aldmeri Dominion, calling them "Wise Men/Beasts who know their place". This obsession of Elven supremacy expands in the later eras when he creates the 3rd Thalmor from behind the scenes and puppeteers the 3rd Thalmor, his goal being to eradicate mankind and deactivate the Towers to cause Landfall. He does appreciate music and plays the lute or flute now and then, although he does not have as much of an appreciation for it as Hrolfnir does. Idrelith is very patient and can wait for days should he must. he is also one of the greatest tacticians, even being able to trick and ambush the Last Dragonborn and Serana in the 4th Era, having the former imprisoned and tortured and killing the latter.

My DC Breton: Joanne Debrout: A Breton Sorceress who decided to put her natural magical prowess to use in the Daggerfall Covenant, she is very friendly and the least racist of the 3. She is also very forgiving to her enemies. However she is no fool and takes her job seriously, showing no mercy if no mercy is required. She is not easily angered unlike Hrolfdir. She worships the 8 Divines, especially Julianos and Stendarr. While she is a sorceress she is also capable of handling a sword should an enemy come to close or if she runs out of magicka, and she is not afraid of practising Dark Magic. Like Idrelith she appreciates music, although not as much as Hrolfdir. She is very patient and has proved herself a great tactician, though she is not as great as Idrelith, but she is better than Hroflnir, however she was slain by Hrolfnir when Herself, Hroflnir and Idrelith engaged in a 3 way battle.





In my C0DA while Hrolfdir is the Vestige, Idrelith Ferandil is by far the more vital character, as he is responsible for the Thalmor in the 4th Era acting as the puppeteer behind it all, responsible for the deaths of many of the Dovahkiin's loved ones including Serana, he also brings the Dovahkiin to the realisation that he will inevitably fall to his lust for power, as is the nature of a Dovah.
