User blog:Nehpys/To His Majesty, All Powerful and All Worthy, Uriel Septim VII--Dated 3E 395

'This is a work of fan-fiction, and is Non-Canon.'' This work was inspirited by the Apocraphic writings of Michael Kirkbride, a former Bethesda Game Studios writer, who worked on, , and. I consider this in no way well written, and was generally for a short-time writing project.'''

Also a mini-WIP.

As transcribed through an open debate and class in the Pelagius Septim III dedicatory college, led by Maximillien Baine of Emperor Titus Mede I's Royal Court on the twelfth of Hearthfire, 4E 10...

Maximillien Beign: "During his tenure as Emperor, Jagar Tharn of Valenwood's gaze across the Arena attracted much attention. His guards bled black.  He made the image of Septim the Seventh become reclusive, and Tharn not accepting audience with anyone didn't help by any means.  'Tis said he dealt with the 'devil,' and that his guards ate souls."

Batilla Warbend, Attendee #320, Third Row/of Fifteen: "'Devil'?"

Baine: "Yes, er...name, name....ah, Batilla, yes, 'devil.' 'Twas what the people of the old eras, being pre-fourth, called 'Mehrunes Dagon,' Daedric Prince of destruction. Considering what's happened ten years previous to now, especially to what likely happened to your extended family in Skyrim, I don't think he requires any explanation.

Warbend: "No, sir." *

Beign: "Good. Wher...Ah!  'Twas said that Tharn dealt with the bastard, destroying Battlespire in the process.  Debatable, sadly, as no one that we are aware of recalls any part of the incident, the only proof there being the destroyed Battlespire.  This destruction could easily be due to a spell that went wrong. Most mages there were oblivious of the motto of 'Knowing when to stop.'  Tharn was melted by nineteen-year-old Talin Warhaft and ghost-sorceress Ria Silmane, by reassembling the Balac-thurm."

Martin Allexandus, Attendee #210, Second Row/of Fifteen: *Coughs Obnoxiously* "Excuse me, ArchHistorian, what's the point of today's meet? 'Twas never on the bulletin. Why Jagar Tharn?  We all know he's ArchTraitor to the Empire, or at least Septim's Empire. 'Tis nothing new to learn."

Beign: "There's always more to learn from history, er...Allexandus. Even minor, more remains in the burrows of Hell.  Now, the point of this lesson was to show you a first-hand account of Tharn's actions, from a simply-written letter by a commoner named Clavicus Penign, during a minor border-war with Morrowind**, and an Imperial Response Draft written by Tharn himself, though most of it is unreadable and is also simply-written.  After the letter was sent, Penign was executed on 'High Treason'.

Beign: *Pulling out the letters and beginning to read from Clavicus'*:

Thirteenth of Morning Star,

Third Era, Year of Three-Hundred-and-Ninety-Five,

Ruled by His Majesty, All Powerful and All Worthy, Uriel Septim VII of Tamirel,

Blood of Tiber Septim.

''Greetings, and hail to thine glory, Emperor Uriel Septim the VII of Tiber Septim. I'm merely a lowly peasant in thine eyes, but I hope thee hearken mine own words.''

''My Lord, we're all suffering. Thy takes outrageous, guards fierce. Thy words meaningless, and never kept true. Thy mere thoughts damaging. Does thee fabricate hundreds of thoughts a day, and only choose the worser one? I can't understand it, my children can't understand, my wife doesn't understand, no one can!''

''Where was the young man? One who's eyes once filled with joy and hope. Who did what was best in the people's interest? Who appeared in-front of the people, even in dark times to feel their criticism?''

Who are you?

Clavicus Penin, Commoner and Husband to Matella Penign, Owner of the "Bookshop Buyer."

Beign: "Tharn ignored the general Imperial style of speaking from the Third Era, accepting more of a contemporary Nordic-type of speak."

Beign: *Reading Tharn's*:

Sixteenth of Morning Star,

Third Era, Year of Three-Hundred-and-Ninety-Five,

To Clavicus Penign, *UNDECIPHERABLE*

Your words are pitiful, disgusting and contempt.


 * Benign states the next paragraph went undeciphered.

''Do you think...really care for you? That what...do is in...interest of the 'people?' That lowly swine as you matter in my almost divine glory? I have...have?''


 * Benign states the next two paragraphs went undeciphered.

If not for my council, most of you would be slaves, toiling at my workforce your very heart freezing a...

J *UNDECIPHERABLE*

Beign: "Well, now that we're finished, all of you will be provided copies of these documents, and what's left Tharn's. I want you all to reflect on Tharn's own words, and come in tomorrow to elaborate.  Good day, students."

ARCHHISTORIAN'S NOTES
 * -- Skyrim was said to be "Hit The Worst" with Dagon's Invasions, after the Argonians of Black Marsh followed the Hist and forced Dagon out just by sheer numbers. Many died in Skyrim fighting to stop Dagon's onslaught, and ArchHistorian Beign assumed that most of Warbend's extended family fought against the invasion, like any true-born Nordic would.


 * -- During Tharn's reign, Tharn "accidentally" created a small border-war with the ever-beautiful Barenziah of Morrowind.
