Board Thread:Lore Discussion/@comment-80.42.156.110-20141217194800

Now don't get me wrong. I am a very experienced personnel upon the elder scrolls lore. But there were two things which I, and quite possibly not even many other people know about. I have two questions upon the resemblance of different described 'things' you could say, in the world of the elder scrolls. You should see what it is I am talking about in my two questions below; these aren't actual questions I am asking, but rather discussions I would like some people to think about:



1) Resemblance of different descriptions.

Allow me to explain. If anyone here is familiar with the '36 lessons of Vivec' then they should recall the scriptures upon the 'sword' and the 'word'. These two things seem to resemble two of the scriptures upon 'the six walking ways' but in real life, one May just think of the sword as a weapon and the word as a form of vocabulary. But it begged me into thinking that these two things resembled something else in perhaps the eyes of a god rather than a fellow mortal. Take the 'elder scrolls' for an example, they exist and do not exist since they are outside of time, (they do seem to exist because technically they are there in front of us but do not exist as they are not an actual form of time) while we mortals see them as scrolls, gods will see them rather as 'fragments of creation' perhaps since they revolve in time and so are seen as scrolls to us mortal but to gods who do not revolve around time, they will see them as said: 'fragments of creation'. This is also much like how the mortal brain conceives the planes of the divines as the 'planets' while the other gods may see them differently. I don't know whether this is because mortals reside inside of time of whether it just be the simple fact that we are not gods. Going back to the 'sword' and the 'word' I do believe that they may resemble different paths to 'the six walking ways' for gods but as for mortals they just cannot simply comprehend this. One other example, say a god will see a non-materialised, out of time word in front of them, they may see it as some kind of meaning, mortals may see it as (maybe presuming they be in or out of time) something such as an egg or a rock, etc. This concept I tried to make simular to the work of 'Thumes', another such example of how gods may see things differently to mortals, as thumes can only be used with an actual understanding of the meaning of the word, not simply being able to translate it. It also begs the question if the same sort of understanding can be conceived in something such as the Ehlnofex language, or maybe even the simple Cyrodilic language. It may seem complicated but it does seem to make some degree of sense to me.



Hence forth, the second question:



2) Concerning the resemblance of meanings, are 'the six walking ways' in any way related to the Redguard pantheon?

In the Redguard pantheon, one of the gods taught men 'how to pull their daggers into swords' and this begged me to the question, does that have a resemblance to 'the six walking ways'? I do believe that it was the second path of Veloth's teachings upon CHIM and the 'physiic endeavour' that took the resemblance of a sword. Did in any way, this god teach man how to pull their 'daggers' (simple understanding of the second path) into 'swords' (Full understanding of the second path) as related to 'the six walking ways'. There are even other resemblances where the 'stone' of the Orichalc Tower in Yokuda  was depicted as a 'sword', was that in any was resembled to the second path? Perhaps something simular to the Adamantine Tower in High Rock where it's stone (the Zero Stone) seemed to be the event of the convention itself. Not the mention that the towers themselves had a resemblance to the first path. And then, where a Redguard performed the 'swordthrust', a forbidden move, was that him/ her thrusting the towers stone or was that him/ her thrusting the understanding of the second path?



Well, I just have to thank you for reading this. It has been something that I have been thinking about for quite some time and I think I did get all my points down that I collected over the past spaces of time. I do know that many of you may probably no idea what it is that I am talking about, and I would be honestly amazed if any of you really did know.



Peace.
