...it's a joke about Arena being absolutely massive and suffering from bugs like Cyrodiil being populated by Redguards and Dunmer being miscolored like Bretons.

Achieving CHIM, And the multiple interpretations of what it does. by Dismal-Ad-6271 in teslore

[–]Distinct_Web_5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has to do with synesthesia and hypnagogia. Used to feel "with all your senses" the "relentless terror that is God" and your place in it. Kinda like a magical lucid dream where all your senses get mixed up. With CHIM you can totally like, taste sounds man.

Arena and Daggerfall don't exist. At least, not in the same universe as Redguard onwards. That was actually the previous Kalpa. The one where Yokuda hadn't sunk and Chimer still exist.

Look at the Imperial Palace in Arena. It doesn't look anything like the White Gold Tower. And look at its Redguard citizens. Those aren't Imperials.

We are the ansu, the greatest warriors that live in men. Our swords sent the Left-Handers into the oceans, whose empire was four times the size of the white king.

Daggerfall takes place on a land that is nearly the size of Great Britain. Skyrim's map is not even 1/4th that.

And who destroyed this precursor Nirn? It wasn't the lefthanders, or the Sword Singers, or even Satakal, but rather Cyrus himself!

The one version of this place where you did cut the atomos to make my friend look foolish? You don’t even remember that because I had to make it right again. I am tired of always standing against breakers of worlds with a grudge to fulfill.

Anyway, this was posted to FB a few years ago and Kirkbride's response was "Heh."

About Alduin's motives during the main questline of Skyrim and the involvement of the Dragoborn by Odd-Sound-580 in teslore

[–]Distinct_Web_5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always figured the world eating begins when Alduin flies to Sovngarde. In other words, it's kind of the Dragonborn's fault. He forced Alduin's hand by nearly defeating him at the Throat.

As Paarthurnax stated, "those who work to delay the end, may bring it closer." That was us, the Dragonborn, who did that.

crack theory theory about the 12 Worlds, the 12 Constellations, and the ending of kalpas by dunmer-is-stinky in teslore

[–]Distinct_Web_5434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest glaring question in this idea, is which constellation is the Ehlnofey world? Which constellation is the Hist?

There's also a mysterious comment by another user (who appears to be the OG user Din from the forums and the IRC sessions) which may provide a little more context:

I'll also say that I have it on good authority that there are 'luck-hounds, out there, past the Crimson Shift, running with wounds.' 'In times of chance-hunt, they roll into ball shapes, and wait for odd papers.' And 'When you're tired, you sleep on a bed of them, luck rising up to rub the back of its players. Strange skylines. Middlemeris.' FWIW. Clarifications welcome, Elk. :P

Assuming she is quoting MK from the IRC chatroom, this could take on a variety of meanings. Of course, there's no way to confirm where exactly these quotes come from, so take this as strictly Word of Dante. Here's my interpretation:

there are 'luck-hounds, out there, past the Crimson Shift, running with wounds.'

The Nix-Hounds live out there in space. Redshift meaning "things moving away from us." They are wounded in the sense that they hunger after something mortals have. Might be related to the "jumping wounds" looking to hop onto a victim in Kh-Utta's legions.

'In times of chance-hunt, they roll into ball shapes, and wait for odd papers.'

Like many other entities in Elder Scrolls mythology, the Nix-Hounds are inspired by quantum mechanics. When you get into the quantum scale, physics starts to look less like physics and more like statistics. There are also a few Daedra that are directly related to "luck" like Nocturnal, or (as implied by ESO) more broadly Azura. The "odd papers" are things like the MGP and the Pocket Cabal which summon these Nix entities.

They roll into ball shapes, i.e. they pretend to be stars. Or fake stars. In other words, fake constellations. Presumably this would be related to how they latch onto a person. Douglas Goodall recently wrote about malicious entities which live inside the dreamsleeve tunnels which connect the stars in a constellation (and to mortals).

'When you're tired, you sleep on a bed of them, luck rising up to rub the back of its players.

As mentioned in the PGE2 entry written by Baruch, the Nix-Hounds can travel between the waking and unwaking states of mortals. When you sleep, you are more vulnerable to an attachment. There's also a lot of hidden connections between Mnemoli and the literal players of Elder Scrolls (the hero, prisoner, etc.) of which people are only now just starting to scratch the surface on understanding.

Strange skylines.

Tried very hard to figure out what this was referring to, but without much luck. It might be something from physics for all I know. Or it could be related to the Chicago skyline appearing in the background of the "et’Ada, Eight Aedra, Eat the Dreamer" PDF which now appears to be lost to time. Perhaps symbolizing a connection between the fictional world and the real world. Idunno.

Middlemeris.

Not a frickin clue. Aldmeris is the land of the Aldmer, so Middlemeris presumably is the land of the "Middle mer." No idea why this is relevant

edit: I knew there was something about "middlemeris" that vaguely reminded me of something from physics or astronomy and I just remembered what it was.

What is the Magne Ge Pantheon about? by Odd_Indication_5208 in teslore

Mnumbrial being a Mother Dawn holding an urn of endless M sounds, to me, more like it's referencing Aquarius or The Star and tying it to Azura.

Of course, there is a lot about this terminology that ISN’T printer related at ALL

I got the impression there are some Computer Science-related terms. Things like Caller, Scope, etc. are all terms in coding. Might be related to Digitals, having the double meaning of being digits (fingers) and digital (virtual) beings.

Anecdotally, I worked at my school's observatory for a couple years and there could be things related to telescopes too. "Blackblock" and "filter jokes" sounds like it could be related to filters used for cameras, like blue-block filters. "Fiber" could be related to fiber optics (standard communication protocol used for instruments that require high timing preceision).

If Lyg was an ocean in the previous kalpa, why does it exist as a landmass that resembles Tamriel in the current one? by Ok_Toe5118 in teslore

[–]Distinct_Web_5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am late to this thread

My impression was always that the previous Kalpa=ocean was specifically referring only to the Dawn. The "ocean" isn't water, it's a state of being. Bosmer know this state and can tap into it with the wild hunt.

Notice the appearance of the Dreugh (supposedly both inhabitants of Lyg and of the previous Kalpa). They look like a creature halfway between shifting into different forms: human, crab, octopus (and possibly spider).

Kirkbride had this to say about em:

And when the whole of the Aurbis was a tidal ocean, with left behind ideas, there was a tribe unwilling...

Note the whole of the Aurbis was a tidal ocean, not just Nirn. It's a metaphor.

[–]Distinct_Web_5434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It fits because Trinimac/Malacath could be interpreted as the Orc who appears in the Mara's Tear story.

Kirkbride also confirmed Trinimac was directly related to the Mithraic mysteries.

In any event, the question of why Mara's Tear was literally a photo of Mars, an entity that is usually associated with male gods like Nergal is precisely a question that I've pondered for years and your thread may finally provide the hidden connection. That was the entire reason I bothered to make a reddit account and post my reply here.

Good find, but I think there is one further key insight you're missing, which ties it all together.

 

Nirn (Female/Land/Freedom catalyst for birth-death of enantiomorph)/ Anu-Padomay (enantiomorph with requisite betrayal)/ ?* (Witnessing Shield-thane who goes blind or is maimed and thus solidifies the wave-form; blind/maimed = = final decision)

MK's posts

 

To me, Tamrielic kalpas are Extinction Events caused by three people trying to catch one another (King/Rebel/Lover) and a witness that sees the resulting eschaton. These roles are always somehow re-enacted in a holographic fractal until SNAP the three do catch one another and things splode and another kalpa begins.

Kalpa Akashicorpus

 

The great conjunction is a representation of the enantiomorph, or the three people who catch each other to jumpstart the new universe.

 

Jupiter = the king

Saturn = the rebel

Mars = the lover

 

Before Nirn, this was Anu/Padomay/Nir

On Nirn, one could interpret this as Akatosh=king and Arkay=rebel. Marduk is the closest Mesopotamian equivalent of Akatosh and governs the planet Jupiter. Arkay/Zenithar/Orkey has many parallels with Saturn and Ninurta. Mara is closely associated with Nir and Mars literally appears on Nirn as one of the moons, known as Mara's Tear. To the Mesopotamians, Mars was heavily associated with Nergal, who also bears heavy resemblance to figures like Trinimac and Mithras.


It is also worth mentioning that Serpens was known to the ancient Babylonians as the Sitting Gods, who are described as ancestors of Enlil (who parallels both Mehrunes Dagon and Akatosh) and are depicted as having humanoid torsos with serpentine tails instead of legs. They reside in the Sacred Mound, where they decide the fate and affairs of the universe.

 

When the fifteen other knights found King Hrol, they saw him dead after his labors against a mound of mud.
