utter nonsense and I ain't stoppin' @sassyfahliil - Tumblr Blog

I put this off but hey my 2023 art summary!

Honestly, I am both strangely satisfy and unsatisfy with how things turn out this year. A lot less completed works, but I have to remind myself that is ok. I should be easier on myself, remind myself that is ok. Take a break even until I feel like picking up this hobby again.

The funny thing is, that once you know a bit more about the previous Elder Scrolls games, you can actually explain a few things that don’t make sense initially.

Let’s take an example.

Thanks to the Class Backgrounds in Daggerfall, you find out that it wasn’t just Jaegar Tharn that had been plotting the Emperor’s Downfall– but most of the Imperial Battlemages, who were envious of Tharn’s success.

And in Oblivion, who do you face, but Warrior Mages

… Guess this means that most of the Imperial Legion Battlemages were actually Mythic Dawn.

This would go a long way to explain why the what should be the most Secure and Protected (by both magic, arms and firepower, contracts that even the Dark Brotherhood respects, and even Narrative Causality given how Uriel has manipulated several Prophecies) Royal Family in Nirn’s Existence, were cut down in just a few short nights.

…holy shit the Legion Battlemages being Mythic Dawn also explains why it took an Apprentice to deal with the Battlespire crisis

the-mercurial-star-o-vesper

Agreed. I didn’t even consider the Battlespire– you make a fantastic point!

It would explain the debacle with the Battlespire, after all its Imperial Battlemage owned. As Skyrim and Morrowind clearly show in political and guild systems– one mage can’t do this stuff alone, it has to be a whole group. (Only the PC can do stuff by themselves, cos of TESLore metaphysic stuffs).

And if I might add on to it.

It’d also help explain why you can’t officially join the Imperial Legion in Oblivion, but you can in Morrowind and Skyrim. Not just because of the Emperor and Imperial Family’s deaths– but like because of an major internal struggle due to the fact that a whole wing of the Imperial Military were treacherous as all oblivion, and they couldn’t risk any more outside instability

EVEN THOUGH, with the Oblivion Crisis, they should be gathering as many numbers as possible– because it was an entire branch that went rogue. I imagine half of their internal-command was covering up the fact that they messed up Big Time.

This would also: - Help explain why there weren’t decent magical protections over the Elder Scroll stolen in the Theives’ Guild quest.

- why the Dark Brotherhood can cause more trouble to and around the Legion, like they’ve never had before.

- And why the Mage’s Guild locked down so severely, and bottlenecked anyone getting in, as well as outlawing Necromancy. They were severe political steps taken to cover the fact that the next largest group of mages– Imperial Battlemages– suddenly became the biggest and most terrifying threat and enemy seen at the end of the 3rd Era. And the best way to cover that, is to act like the Legion (Prevent as many possible signing up) and to “Have” (Cause) a major internal threat, to seem “distracted” from all the goings about. (Given how a lot of the Mage class backgrounds act in Daggerfall, there were definitely sympathizers in the Mage’s Guild– Mages are pretty cuthroat in the early games, akin to the Discworld’s Wizard’s Pointy Shoes Policy).

It didn’t quite work, obviously, because instead of blaming the Legion– the Mage’s Guild got thrown under the Daedric Wagon post-Crisis.

That could also explain the anti-mage rhetoric seen in Skyrim. If you bring up your status as Archmage to Tsun in Sovngarde he says that the Nord’s distrust of magic is relatively recent.

Before the Great War and the outlawing of Talos worship a lot of Nords (including Ulfric Stormcloak) joined the Legion, perhaps the betrayal of the Battle Mages had an effect on Legion culture and that spread to Skyrim via returning veterans?
