And she’s done. - Tried to get a picture without the glossy shine, but my phone wasn’t playing ball.

Hope you’re all well!

It's crazy to think that a small side quest in Skyrim proves that the Arcturian Heresy is partially correct. The heresy claims that Tiber Septim/Talos isn't an Atmoran at all, and rather a man from the island of Alcaire in High Rock called Hjalti Early-Beard. Hjalti earned the name/title "Talos" during the Battle of Old Hrol'dan, where a supernatural storm kept Hjalti's forces safe from the enemies' arrows while Hjalti used the thu'um to shout down his opponents' walls.

During the quest at The Ghost of Old Hroldan, after you sleep in the bed that Tiber Septim slept in, a ghost appears and refers to you as 'Hjalti' and asks for your sword. When you give him the sword he mentions that you (Hjalti) and him trained with the sword masters of Alcaire and offers to refresh your memory of this time, before leveling up your one handed and block skills and subsequently disappearing. Now, granted, there's a lot more to the Arcturian Heresy than this, but this quest seems to indicate that the heresy was correct and that Talos was actually a Breton and not Atmoran

being a fan of the elder scrolls lore is a truly insane experience. you're like "wow. I really dig this 2920, The Last Year of the First Era book. I wonder if there's something else like that". so you go to UESP trying to find who wrote 2920 and you find that it was ted peterson and that he once said "you shouldn't really trust 2920's description of akaviri invaders because the in-game author doesn't know shit about them. he made it up and maybe some other things too"

Morrowind: Nerevar and Almalexia

Digital painting. Made in Krita. Feel free to repost, reupload etc.

P.S: Should've mustered the courage to paint her pregnant—just to upset your precious lore with momentous implications. But I guess seeing bearded Nerevar will be enough of a shock for many of you.

[psijic-dovahkiin]

Lately been ruminating on how Female Dovahkiins can be when you take into account the ‘Lore’ of Dov all being male, while Jills are the ‘female dragons’ who mend reality.

But in truth we aren’t given essentially ANY information beyond that on the Jills. We don’t know if they use the Thu’um, if they are domineering the same way their brethren are, where in space/time they dwell outside of their ‘job’.

And in the event of a Female Dovahkiin, does that mean that they technically have the soul of a Jill instead? Is their purpose in defeating Alduin instead essentially to ‘mend’ this reality that Alduin wants to devour?

Thoughts?
