Hello! So I found your Immortal Exile stuff and I'm very intrigued by it. (I've always loved the idea that Meetra's nature as a Wound in the Force makes her immortal.) Though I'd like to share an idea that's been stuck in my brain for a while now.

You know how TOR's version of Meetra has white hair? What if she was Echani instead of human? It's not canon by any means, but I really like the idea of an Echani!Exile. (While I hate they treated her, I adore TOR's design for Meetra. She looks lovely.)

Hi hi!!! I'm so glad to hear you like the immortal exile stuff that I have because that's possibly my favourite au with her in (though I haven't ever managed to write something Proper And Cohesive for it, it lives rent free in my head...) - I am pretty sure I got this idea from another fic I read ages ago (at least with regards to how the wound in the force makes her immortal), though I can't find it anymore, but I wanted to create my own version anyway because I disagreed with a few thematic takes that fic took...

But ooooooh echani Meetra?? That WOULD be based actually...I have a few other ideas I've played around with for Meetra's/the exile's origins (I'm also a big fan of Mando Meetra) but I'd never considered echani as an option?? I'm gonna be thinking about that one now....

Gosh yeah I agree about swtor tho...I love that game (I actually should log back in and keep playing my jedi consular play through...) but I HATE what they do to the exile and revan, so my Immortal Meetra au is also sort of a fix it for TOR too? Like i think her design is really cool and i actually unironically love the name Meetra Surik but I NEED her and Revan to have a better storyline please and thanks <3

Hello! So your stuff about Iriana being the descendant of Ithelia is so much fun. Especally with how it influences her as the new Sheogorath. I'd like to share an idea that I've been tossing around my head.

So what I'm considering is that my Vestige is quite pissed about her descendant being tricked into mantling Sheogorath. So she uses mind magic to enter the HoK's mindscape and fights the Madgod. She does win in the end, of course. However, this haves the side effect of the mantling creating a very different kind of Sheogorath.

Basically, it's an elaborate, but fun way to explain why my HoK doesn't become the Sheo from Skyrim, Blades, and Legends. I got the idea after coming across the UESP page on mind magic. The concept of a mindscape is so cool and I want to play with it a little. lol

Plus, I think it could be interesting to use environmental storytelling as a way of exploring how my HoK is being affected by the mantling.

Hello! And apologies for all the dust this ask collected!

I really love the idea of the Vestige showing up to try and kick Sheo out of their descendent's mind, and I think Niraen and Venaya probably would've tried to do the same for Iriana if they hadn't ended up trapped in Oblivion when the Crisis ended and the Dragonfire Boundary was re-established. Those two have dealt with Sheo a bunch of times before and would readily do so again if it meant that Iriana didn't become the new Sheo. Alas...

Hello! So I've been looking at your TES stuff, and I've been enjoying all of it. Especially the stuff about Iriana. I just adore the idea of her being a descendant of Ithelia and the consequences it has on her mantling Sheogorath. It is really, really cool. 😁

Speaking of Sheogorath, I am really excited for ESO's upcoming Sheogorath questline. Based on what we've been told about it, there's bound to be fascinating lore implications.

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to get around to this, I am very bad at keeping on top of my inbox ^^""

but yes, I'm looking forward to the Sheo content, I'm anticipating Venaya and Niraen having a Time in trying to contain the shenanigans and tomfoolery lmao. Cannot wait to see if it touches on the whole Greymarch/mortals mantling Sheo lore at all (I'm not holding out hope but it'd be fun) 👀

Hello! So I've come across your Mortal!Ithelia stuff and I adore it. Sutch an amazing idea. (hehe) I also love the idea of the HoK being her descendant. Great way for Mora to reap what he's sown.

Though I'd like to get your thoughts on a premise that's been stuck in my brain. You know that Public Dungeon in Blackreach? The Dwemer ruin one with that malfunctioning time device that kept yeeting people and creatures to various points in time? Well, what if it effected the TES I-V protags and yeeted them to different points in ESO's main storylines? (The pre-Greymoor ones, at least.) Like the HoK could appear in Sancre Tor, the LDB in Elsweyr, and so on. Then they all appear while the Vestige is in that Dwemer ruin. Imo, there's so much potential with this idea, especially if they're all related.

ooooh that sounds like a really fun idea! There's definite potential for chaos by bringing together all the TES protagonists, especially under very chaotic circumstances. Especially when ESO is so far removed from the other games and has so many historical figures involved. A Mages' Guild HoK meeting Vanus Galerion, having seen his shambling corpse in Mannimarco's thrall? That'd be awkward in so many ways. And the Nerevarine meeting the Tribunal at the height of their power... that'd be interesting. And potentially catastrophic for the timeline lmao. LDB thinks they're getting a break from dragons? Boom, dragons!

I do think about how some of my 3rd/4th Era protags would react to a world without the Septim Empire and if it would shift their perspectives on the Empire and Dragonfires as a whole. Because there's essentially no actual functioning Empire in ESO due to the fall of the Long House Emperors and Varen's death, whereas the worlds of Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim all sort of orbit around its existence. Without the Empire, the Nerevarine wouldn't have been deported or directed to fulfilling the prophecies, the HoK's whole deal is trying to restore the Empire's ruler to relight the Dragonfire Braziers, and in Skyrim, you have the whole civil war between the Stormcloaks and Imperials and the assassination of Titus Mede. Regardless of their opinions on the Empire, it heavily impacts the lives of those characters in some way or another. Your idea sounds like a really fun way to just explore that sort of thing because the Second Era is so different from the ones that follow.
