User blog:Tholanar/A bunch of random lore questions.

Hello TESWikians, wiki-readers, TES-fans and everybody else that may or may not read this blog post!

I have garnered a bunch of questions, which I would like to share with you people.

Nr. 1: As the Dragonborn, your soul and blood is that of a dragon. Your blood gives you the ability to learn and speak the Dragon Tongue, most notably the Rotmulaag, or words of power. Your soul can absorb other souls of it's own kind, and use the knowledge gained to unlock shouts. If a dragon killed the player, wouldn't that dragon absorb the player's soul, as it would any other dragons soul?

Nr. 2: As I said, dragons can absorb eachothers souls and garner knowledge about shouts in doing so. But knowledge must have a source. As a dragonborn is no different from a real dragon, it seems wierd that the dragons can learn shouts without slaying other of their kin. Have you ever met a dragon not able to shout? Me neither. So, the question is: How does a dragon gain knowledge of a shout, without slaying one of his brethren?

3: In a book found in TES III ((The Nature of the Daedra, I believe)), it is stated that the Dremora has not always served Dagon. Also, there are quite a few princes who doesn't seem to have any daedric servants. And what about Atronachs? They side with whatever prince can offer them most of... Whatever the daedric princes pay them. Basically like a mercenary. This might also be the reason that Atronachs are quite simple to conjure ((At least the flame atronach)). So I am thinking. When the world was created, not only the energy of Anuic spirits, such as Akatosh, Phynaster and those guys, was used to create the world. Quite many Padomaic spirits must have participated, Lorkhan included. Take a look at the stars, for example. Each of them was once an Et'Ada with powers to rival Magnus. It would seem wierd if none of them were Padomaic in nature, and the only padomaic spirits in existence would be Lorkhan and most of the Daedric Princes. Anyway, if there were Padomaic spirits present at the time of creation, then quite a few of them must have fled, like Magnus. That must have created stars as well ((I'm thinking the Serpent and Azura's Star, here)). But why would a Padomaic spirit flee to Aetherius, the realm of Stasis? Of course they would flee to Oblivion, the realm of change, and Padomaic things. Now, when they arrived, they were, of course, quite weak from the creation of the world and all, and I have a feeling that those spirits degenerated into lesser spirits, in a process similar to the Elhnofey. That's right, they became the lesser Daedra. And I suppose that they, like mortals, divided into different groups and started worshipping and serving one of the Daedric Lords. So perhaps the Daedric Princes didn't create their own servants ((As daedra cannot create, apparently)), those servants were created by other padomaic spirits, who were too weak to sustain their own essence upon reaching oblivion.

4: The only difference between Padomaic spirits and Anuic spirits are their sphere, right? If every single spirit ever to have existed gained their full power again, and the two sides went to war, I believe they would be evenly matched. They are the same kind of creature, only with a different alignment, and thus different powers. Their blood, their essence, should be about the same, right? I'm thinking Ebony here. The solidified blood of the gods. Gods, in this case, means the same as Et'Ada, or spirits. So Ebony is made off Et'Ada blood. Now I am thinking: What about Daedric Gear? You would think, that to craft Daedric gear, you would need Ebony from a Daedra, and to craft "Aedric" ((not that that armor exists)) you would need the blood of an aedra. But that is not the case. Instead, you need some ebony, Spirit Blood, and then you have to infuse it with the essence of a Daedra. I always kinda facepalm at this, because Ebony IS the essence of a Daedra ((Or Aedra)). The easiest way to do this is to throw a Daedra Heart, the core of a Lesser Daedra, into the fire. But what makes a Daedra Heart so special? Maybe the blood of the Aedra and Daedra are the same ((Ebony)), but their hearts different? This raises quite many questions: Would you be able to craft Daedric armor if you used the Heart of Lorkhan to do it? If you took the heart of an Aedra, would you be able to imbue the ebony in a similar manner, and craft Aedric Armor? Tecnically, yes.

5: The Magna Ge. Remember my thoughts on the lesser daedra? Well, how about the Magna Ge, the ((Anuic)) spirits who followed Magnus into Aetherius? The only Magna Ge I have ever heard off is Meridia, and she was cast out of Aetherius for meddling with an Illicit Spectra ((Whatever THAT is)). And the rest? Did they perhaps degenerate in a manner similar to the Lesser Daedra, and become Lesser Aedra? Could one summon and kill a Lesser Aedra and use it's heart, it's divine essence, to craft Aedric Armor? Supposedly, yes.

Remember, all these are just random thoughts of mine, a lot of it is mostly logic and not actual lore. All theories and thoughtweavings. Anyway, please share your own opinion and write a comment below!
