lol I believe Hakon Frist Shield is quoting how the orcs said war in some of the 40k games. especially the little goblins that built everything for you thats something like the way they said it if I remember right.

Back to the thread at hand, this does bring to light the significance of nine because I am beginning to see what Nickguy123 is saying. It would be very interesting to see research put into this and possibly backed by bethesda if the person was going on the right track or not.

Unless my map skills are off and I'm losing sight of the invisible boundrary lines between holds don't you find one mask per province? And unless that is completely coincidence I can see where the connection would be made...could the nine possibly have had connections in those rough general ideas where the provinces formed? Yes I understand that the dragon priests were back before the time of Skyrim as it is now but what if those nine had some sort of control or power in those areas that happened to become the provinces?
