<p>No one knows of wlfhearth of Atmora, the Ash King, the Under King? Really? He was the ancient king from Atmora and avatar of Shor, who was brought back by him few times. He the one who rvealed to Hjalti, that he was dragonborn, before the battle of old Hroldan and taught him t'hum then. He was his eyes and ears on battle field when he was conqering Tamriel, but since he cannot appear to be in two places as one, Wulfheart worked behind the scenes. Yes, it suggests that Wulfhearth, was such a part of Talos, that they looked alike. Then he got angry with Tiber Septim, for not wanting to crush Dunmer, and left him. However, Tiber realized that he needs the avatar of Shor, to power Mantela, so he lured him back, with a promise of destroying elves of Morrowind. Instead, he trapped his powerful soul in Mantella. But that's where the different story of Zurin Arctus takes place, that before Wulfheart was trapped in the mantella, he killed Arctus. To explain what happened, the official records say, that battle mage turned on Tiber Septim and killed a valiant guard, who was trying to defend Emperor, before he was killed and his soul was trapped in the soul gem. Like that, the name of Wulfheart was replaced by Arctus and prety much forgotten. I think he was mean to be in the story, that pile of ash, that was left of Arctus. I think it also have something to do, with not wanting to stain the name of ancient, Atmoran king, with treason. Arcturian Herressy, might provide some answers, but not everyone will believe it, of course.  </p>

<p>In anycase, this person thinks that Tiber Septim was a tyrant, who killed more people then Manimarco and Wolf Queen ever did. And it wasn't just the countless of mer that were killed by him. Obviously some people, pin the slauther that local rulers commited, to keep their people from rebeling against the Empire. Could really get you thinking, does the end result justifies the means? Tiber Septim, managed to unite people of entire continent and brought forth the era of relative peace, peace that lasted longer then it ever have lasted before, since the 1st era had began. My question is, did Tiber Septim killed more people, that have been slaughtered during the time of Interegnum, during the war of three alliances and Molag Bal's attempt at meging the two planes? Was Tiber Septim the worst tyrant in history of Tamriel, or was he like Oda Nobunaga, who became a demon himself, to defeat all the demons around him, and bring peace back to Japan? Was Tiber really a Hero of Chaos, who's best abilities became evident only in chaos all around him? I would say that Tiber Septim was a great ruler and the bloodshed was un avoidable. Perhaps in some cases, it was even out of his hands. And indeed, Wulf from Morrowind, the avatar of Talos, who warns you of changes and troubles yet to come. </p>

<p>Men and mer, they are cousins. Mer were supposedly created by Akatosh (Old Ehlnofey) and me were created by Lorkhan (Wandering Ehlnofey, that split up from Old ones). When I joked that after Thalmor victory, Akatosh would make a Dragon Break and will reset it all, the person seemed to get offended, saying that is not possible, since Akatosh made mer, he would want them to win. There also was something about ignorance and how bad and messed up men are, that if mer were to rule Tamriel, everything would be in harmony since mer know better, being an Elder Race. Would it be better if a mer was sitting on a ruby throne? Or a beast for that matter? Or would it be just like when Aylieds ruled over Tamriel and enslaved men? Do mer really know better, or is it elvan arrogance? Also, I suppose there maybe harmony, if mer will reshape everything in their own image, turning all men into mer. Speaking of which, there is ancient Nordic myth of how Orkey or Ysmir the Fox, tried to talk Nords into becoming mer. Or was it Herma Mora who did that and Orkey just shortened the life span of Nords, who used to live as long as mer? Also, Atmora is frozen now, with only frozen bearded kings. What if it's divines' way of making back up for humans? Atmora is frozen in time, so it like doesn't exist at the given time. Imagine, if all men were turned into lost races of men, then Atmora would thaw and the frozen people would come back to live after cryo sleep? In that case, if men deserve another chance, there would be a race of men and not just any race of men, but one of the first ones. Oh and by the way, aren't giants are those Wandering Ehlnofey, or related to them? I think I heard or read that men as we know today, came from giants, or might have. And I am feeling tired, I should probably go to bed now. Sorry if that all sounds like none sense. </p>

<p>If Talos not a divine, how come one can get blessing of Talos from his shrine? Check mate Thalmor! People need to stop listening to Thalmor propaganda! Although how I recently learned, Thalmor might not going to destroy mankind physically, they might just change them into the lost races of mer. That ofcourse is a theory of my friend who fancies himself a Khajit. There are two artifacts that can do that, one located in Crystal Tower, the other now on the isle of Artaum (The Eye of Magnus). Together appearantly, they can change men into mer. For example, Nords would be change to Falmer. Some people believe, that the elder races of mer are the best, that they know the most about living in peace and harmony, the races of men are their younger cousins who always create chaos and devastation and to achieve an eternal peace, they need to be changed into mer. I cannot quite accept that believe entirely, but it still sounds a bit selfish, but better then just simply erradicating mankind. The only race of men that would be unchanged would be Bretons, since they are half elves themselves. Oh and in my friend's opinion, Bretons are the best race of men, who think on higher level. Differences of opinions I guess, nothing wrong with that. Oh and he is a face book friend, not real life, I respect him for his deeper, lore knowledge. Although I think there maybe a language barrier between us, the way he writes, doesn't always makes sense at first. He also believes that men were in control of Ruby Throne for far too long, that they need to let mer and beast folk to have a chance to rule Tamriel. </p>

<p>Also, Nords don't know T'hum at birth, only Dragonborn knows it naturally. Nords are born with a better ability to learn it, probably because of their speech craft. Anyone can learn T'hum, but they have to study with Greybeards for many years, just to learn a single word of power and not everyone allowed to study with them. I also haven't heard of Empire forbiding the use of T'hum. </p>

<p>Once Talos mantled Lorkhan, he gained acess to CHIM, so he could basically make himself any race he wanted. Perhaps that explains why he looked more Nordic the Breton in later years. But I still stand with him being half Nord and half Breton. And people who say that Talos is NOT a god, also annoy me. Perhaps that is why Thalmor almost succeeded in their master plan in COdA. (I say almost, because Mondus still exists, the moons are part of Mondus). One of the most solid arguments that I heard against Talos being a god, is that his devine blood on the armor, could just be because he was a Dragonborn with blood of Akatosh. Also, I think some people would say that manteling a god, isn't exactly being a god. Well, if people would pay attention to the facts of COdA, they would know that  at the end, Talos doesn't just takes up the place of Lorkhan in the Pantheon, he becomes one and the same with Lorkhan. In either way, Talos is GOD!!! Take that all of you heatens! lol </p>

<p>T'hum is magic, but a different kind of magic, an ancient magic that was given to Nords by the goddess Kynareth. Well the ability to learn it, was given by her to Ancient Nordic heroes and Paarthurnax had taught them the t'hum, so they could defeat Alduin. Being Breton and using t'hum is irrelavant. Anyone can learn t'hum, it just takes a really long time to do so, Nords were the first ones to ever use t'hum other then the Dragons, so they didn't dislike this kind of magic. Dragonborns are those who are blessed by Akatosh, they can naturally learn t'hum unlike other people. Hjalti Early Beard was born, officially Breton, because more then likely that is who his mother was. However, he definetly have a Nordic name, not Breton and Early Beard probably reffers to his Nordic clan name. That would make his father, more then likely a Nord. So as I believe we established sometime ago, Hjalti was half Nord and half Breton, officially he was of his mother's race; which would be Breton. However, like all mix bloods, he probably looked like both, Nord and Breton. </p>

<p>I hear many people take CODA as proof of Thalmor victory and the fall of Talos and men. Others just say that it cannot be lore since it's written by Kirkbride (probably MK's haters). I say, that Thalmor haven't really won. If they did succeded at unmaking the Creation, how come the moons are still there and the characters are not in Autherium? I rhink, one of these times, I will read all of CODA myself. I read it a bit, but didn't like the futuristic style there. I like Elder Scrolls the way they are, kind of weird thinking of it as something from Star Wars and Star Treck. The fact that Talos actually becomes Lorkhan, not just replacing him, sort of gives me hope that not everything is lost. </p>

<p>The way I understand that MK's post, is that all of those incarnations, some of them being Dragonborns, were mortal avatars of Lorkhan. Hence the letters. Now, the last one, who supposed to make up the n, is unknown. Perhaps, that would be the last Dragonborn, he could be calle the LAST for a reason. Note, how all of them became one with Talos the god who replaced Lorkhan in the Pantheon. Could it be, that when the one that represented by n will become part of Talos, he would completely become exactly like Lorkhan, if not Lorkhan himself? </p>

<p>The way I see it, it's parodoxical. Hjalti, Talos and Tiber Septim are the same and yet not. He merged them in one body, but they were not the same. Something in Elder Scrolls Lore is hard to make sense of. They say, if the lore sounds confusing, you are probably getting it. </p>

<p>Exactly! If anything, more hair then Julius Caesar had. Why do you think he wore golden, laurer wreath? To hide his bald spot! Caesar was like Donald Trumps of today, figuring out a way, to make it appear that he had more hair then he really did. So just as I though, Tiber was not bald. That is, if his image on Septim is accurate. </p>

<p>I don't know that much about it, I haven't even got a chance to play my ESO. But if they going to add those, they will probably add them as part of add on or something. All I know is that Imperial gets to fight for any alliance they choose, since they are outcasts in their own province and that they can make any armor to look like Imperial armor. Not to mention, they come with an Imperial Steed. I do believe, that I remember testing that one in Cyrodil PvP beta, I think the last beta of September and one of the best betas I've been in. Too bad I wasn't able to play the last few betas, stupid lap top that my sister gave me! This thing comes from the time, when I graduated High School and that was about 10 years ago, or even more (2002). I am trying to get people to ship my gaming computer from Michigan, they told me that they will figured it out. So many crazy things happened in my life recently and on top of everything, my wife is fixed on getting a divorce appearantly. That all probably started from that, the worst thing is that I still love this stubborn, Reach Woman. Perhaps I should be even more patient with her. Needless to say, we are not living together right now. I really wish I would find a job in PA soon and get my computer and x box 360 with my digital Skyrim. Perhaps that will make things more berable for me. Sorry about the rant. </p>

I am not sure Tiber Septim was bald or balding like Julius Caesar. I do know that Berenziah describes him with white hair.

<p>That was not known originaly, but now it is. Way ahead of you, I pre ordered digital version of Imperial Edition, now all I need is a good computer before free month will expire. There is also physical version of Imperial Edtion, that costs another 20 dollars. It comes with all the features of digital, plus got statue of Molag Bal and a picture/lore book included. </p>

<p>They said that he must have caught some unknown to them at that time illness, while in India. </p>

<p>The only diference between Tiber and Alexander the Great, is that Tiber didn't claim to be the son of god. Well and also, the fact that Tiber Septim, lived much longer, at 108 he lived longer then any men ever lived. Alexander the Great died relatively young. And Indeed, before he went on his greatest conquests in Persia, he made sure he would conquer Egypt and be made a Pharoh in there, or living god, the same as Ra. </p>

<p>The plane of Oblivion is where defeated Daedra go. They are definetly immortal, the closest they can feel to mortality, is being sent back to Oblivion upon defeat. Their soul will one day re-emerge from the waters of Oblivion and in time, they will regain their former form and come back to Mondus somehow. It can take up to 100 years. If Shor one of the Aedra, he is not quite immortal, since Aedra are not immortals in the sense of Daedra. Lorkhan was killed after all. I am guessing , if you follow what the Elder Scrolls laws on believes, Shor and Lorkhan are not the same entity anymore. Nords had made Shor out of Lorkhan by believing in Shor, it is complicated but Shor and Lorkhan are same and yet not the same. It was Lorkhan who was killed and had his heart ripped out and then his remains were used to stabilize Mondus. I cannot say if Shor was killed too and brought back by his fellow Aedra to rule over Sovengarde or not. Although, I have a feeling that the heart somehow is still the same, the heart of Lorkhan. Although I might be confused, anyways, it's my birthday today and I am up earlier, still waiting on coffee. </p>

<p>Now they really saying that that will be the last, LARGE scale beta. I guess they might squize in stress tests before early access, but I doubt that. Still, I might not get to play this one and unless I will get my better computer here, it will be a long time until I will be able to play the actual version. I've been in beta since September and I never had any complains about it, I was doing my job, reporting bugs that I encountered and being glad that I got to be in the beta, since I couldn't be sure if I would be able to afoard getting the full version. I am planing on taking advantage of free month, after that, only time will tell if I would be able to afoard monthly suscription. </p>

<p>I finally pre ordered Imperial Edition yesterday, with my best friend's help. I was sort of a birthday present for  my upcoming birthday, March 15, but it was also a loan. I would have to pay him back sometime. Oh and that is digital copy of Imperial Edition. </p>

<p>Where did you even get Hammerfell? And I don't think Tiber Septim died in Skyrim. It seems that you might not have been serious about that. Tiber Septim, is the name he took when he became an Emperor, also it could signify him merging with Zurin Arctus. He was originally Hjalti Early-Beard, born in Alcaire. When he took Ysmir into himself, he became Talos the Storm Crowned. Later, he became Tiber Septim, more then likely, when he took in Zurin Arctus. </p>
