User blog comment:Madman97/The CHIM Theory: Why I don't think it exists/@comment-25136035-20150531141813/@comment-25136035-20150616153312

First of @Zipper: CHIM is Ehlnofex and means Royalty.I know that, and it means it anyways. Second: How is this even being disputed? You may hate it all you want, you may ignore it or debate about it all you want, the fact remains that it is part of the Elder Scrolls Lore. Even if you dont like it, it's in the sermons. The Commentaries on the mysterium Xarxes even flat out state what it is; No, being mentioned twice doesnt make it inexistent, being mentioned twice means it's there twice, and these two times it is mentioned, it is mentioned. Get over it.

Third, you know, I just dont get why people try so hard to make TES out to be just another high fantasy story. The Elder Scrolls is an awesome story about an awesome god, Lorkhan, who seeks freedom for him and his fellows more than anything else. When he learns he has to sacrifice everything he has, even his own life, to have a chance at freedom, he dies, so that others might live, so that his people may be free. Its a story about having to let go and accepting to be a smaller part of the whole, to be able to come out stronger than before. It is about mortals surpassing their forefathers, the et'Ada, just as children eventually surpass their parents, about love, treachery, sex, power, friendship and transcendence. It's so incredibly awesome, I always tend to get a bit upset when people dismiss it so easily. Yes I know letting go of your typical ES-picture isnt easy, nor is it fun. But dammit people, what you get in return is so complex, so well thought and so logical it will surpass every passion you ever had for the ES-Lore. Have you read the Whirling School of Vivec? The 18-1 concept? Yeah, maybe you're really not into philosophical thinking, then I do kind of understand this doesnt interest you very much.

But even then, have you tried the sword-meetings, with undefeated ES-Heroes fighting each other? Or the Exegis of Merid-Nunda, explaining why Meridia became what she was? They are just cool stories, and I cant imagine someone who actually read those would dislike each and every one of them simultaneously. Thus I guess you did not read them and are just judging by what you think they are. Thats pretty ignorant if you ask me, and the one thing in the world I really cant stand is ignorance. But do as you wish. C0DA allows it. :p
