Things I’m learning in Oblivion!!!

The hero of Kovatch had at least 2 parents, and they supposedly lived on some kind of farm. This really sucks because it has heavy parallels to Martin Septim, who grew up on a farm before going away to college.

Didn’t photograph it but the night mother states that the HOK was destined to become the listener from the moment they were born. Meaning that, like Martin, their fate has been sealed this entire time and they’ve been doomed by the narrative.

Again, didn’t take a picture, but knowing that the HOK becomes Sheogorath at the end of the Shivering Isles DLC is insane because it’s implied this happens at the end/beginning of every era. Which is insane to me because it has so many layers to it.

It means that the Sheogorath we encounter in Elder Scrolls Online (the second era) is a different Sheogorath than the one we meet in Oblivion. That’s INSANE and I’m so upset that Bethesda hasn’t taken advantage of this fact. Because why does he always look like a deranged old white guy when it’s a different person every time? Where’s my orc prince of madness? Where’s my khajiits? My dark elves?! Why is the Prince of madness, who literally becomes a different person every era, the most consistent looking Daedric prince in the whole series?!

The other interesting thing is that this implies Martin would’ve had some idea of what was in store for the HOK. At the end of the main questline, he monologues about how the future is in our hands and that we will be written into the next Elder Scrolls. That we will be the main focus! But he probably thought we would be the hero of the story, as we always were, when in reality we were doomed to fall into madness and lose ourselves.

Basically both Martin AND the HOK were horrifically doomed by the narrative and paralleled each other in almost every way and I have a love/hate relationship with that fact.

not ideal to date the strict and fierce count of skingrad (that can’t be paid off for silence) as an assassin in the dark brotherhood

but vicentes older than everyone here so he can do what he wants

Listener of the black hand

He had climbed the massive statue in the ruins of the Temple, finding his way to the shoulder of the creature that just a month prior glowed with the divine light of Akatosh. He sat with one knee to his chest and let his other foot dangle freely.

He found it very difficult to look at the face of the stone structure he sat on. Where many saw a roar of triumph, he only saw a cry. Just the thought of how agonizing it was to take this form and face the four-armed Prince, only to turn to stone.

"I know it's been a while." He spoke after a while. His voice came out in a struggle. "But I wanted to talk to you again… I miss those late nights in Cloud Ruler Temple."

He was quiet again for a while, watching the clouds roll over the stars almost imperceptibly slow, Secunda smiling on him. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Things are so… Different without you here. People keep telling me I was fortunate to have known you, and they praise your name as if you were the next Talos… But… You were more than a name."

He stopped again, leaning against the neck of the dragon. Shifting his weight, he looked over the spread wing he was perched on.

"Many call me Champion." He started again. "But I don't see any glory in being Champion without you here with me."
