CHIM

CHIM (pronounced kim) is the Ehlnofex word for "Royalty". It is a state unaffected by known limitations or laws to what a person can alter in the material and ultra-material world. One achieves CHIM by realizing they are in a dream, while simultaneously believing they exist within the dream so that they do not fade into non-existance, or zero-sum. The entity who is having the dream in which all things exist is referred to as the "Godhead". If too many aspects of the dream are changed by the CHIMster, the Godhead "awakes", causing the CHIMster to zero-sum, ceasing to exist. It has been noted in a limited number of ingame references; most notably the 36 Lessons of Vivec and the Mythic Dawn Commentaries. Vivec expands on the subject on his Lessons, while Mankar Camoran does the same with his Commentaries. Tiber Septim is believed to have achieved CHIM and to have used it on Cyrodiil, turning the province's vast jungles into the fertid lands that they are now.
