#Mora Speaks

[galactic--grimoire]

Who Are We? An Introduction.

Galactic Grimoire, admittedly, started as a tiny discord server to bring a group of friends with experiences in witchcraft and occultism closer together as people, in a server that we knew we could talk about the topics without judgement. It's grown since then- from a server for friends, to a server for acceptance, to a server that still yet reaches it's roots out and grows as people join.

We're still a server, of course. We've expanded from three Administrators to three Administrators and four moderators (which will expand). We went from three people to over a hundred! Welcoming with open arms those who are new to witchcraft, who are experimenting, who are learning.

What can you expect in the server?

We try to keep a protected space. To enter the server, you not only need the invite link, but you also have to go through an easy verification process. We have channels locked specifically for our minors as adult-free spaces, and channels locked specifically for our adults as minor-free spaces, that require age verification for access of.

Events

As a server, we try to be active! That means mods host a variety of events! We have weekly streams, where you can watch and interact as some of the mods get terrified at games like Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, and Escape the Backrooms. Other mods frequently stream art, and you're welcome to stream as well!

On top of streams, we host classes! Every two weeks for the general chat, we host a class on a variety of topics (topics change each time before cycling! So if you miss a class, don't worry! It'll come back around). As beginner witches, a lot of people get daunted at the idea of research. We want to help you start your research by giving you a solid foundation. Between the classes (both streamed and asynchronous ones) and our baby witch forums for any questions, we can help clear up any potential confusion or help explain concepts that might be confusing you!

Tumblr?

The tumblr is a bit of an experiment, a bit of a new thing to expand on. While we have a community now, with people who have been with us for an entire year now, we're still interested in expanding our bases. We're learning, we want to encourage learning, and we want to encourage community. With that in mind, we've set out to try our best to run a blog as well as the server.

had an idea, drew the idea

[thelurkershideout]

So... I'm sure other people have had similar ideas, but I have to brain dump. So like what if every single dragonborn returns to Akatosh when they die? (except for talos because he was special) Regardless of what deal with Daedra they make, or what they do in life. They are basically sentient hunks of Akatosh and return to him when they die. That's why Hermaeus Mora kept Miraak alive in Apocrypha because he knew if Miraak died then he'd lose his prize (because it's kind of his shtick to know forbidden knowledge). Miraak was basically Akatosh going "Alduin is getting a little too big for his scales Imma make someone who can take him down" and then Miraak immediately went "oooo power, and yes Mr. Mora I'll come to you for more knowledge" and refused to deal with Alduin. Kynareth (probably annoyed) then gave humans the ability to learn the voice and instructed Paartytothemax to deal with it and the whole Elder Scroll thing happened so Akatosh had time to tweak the formula. Akatosh binds the dragon blood and soul to an actual human bloodline via St. Alessia and we get the Septims. Centuries later now we have "The Last Dragonborn" as is the PC's title in the game. They are an Heir to the Septim bloodline (because Martin Setpim fucks, this is cannon) and the Septims were the Dragonborn Emperors. Martin basically becomes Akatosh at the end of Oblivion in order to fight off Dagon so Akatosh is just like "fuck this it ends here" and The Last Dragonborn knows they are 100% the last one, Akatosh basically told them directly. So you have this dragonborn who is hyper aware that there are huge world altering things at stake. Akatosh is much more directly involved with this Last Dragonborn, speaking to them in dreams. He kind of has to be because they're detached from any kind of family and anyone who knew who they were is long gone. It's Dragon Dad Akatosh and his anxious ball of dragon rage against the world.

Crack theory that Decarabian is inspired by Qin Shi Huang, founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor (previous rulers refered to themselves as 'king') of China

In the chinese version, Decarabian is occationally refered to as 孤王 (gūwáng, lone(ly) king) which is a title Qin Shi Huang created for himself for being so high and mighty that normal people cannot come close to him

Qin Shi Huang has been viewed as a tyrant, mostly due to assessments by the Han dynasty that came after

However, he also unified China via standardization of weights and measurement, wheel axels, currencies, written language script, and developed extensive networks of roads and canals for trade and communication. Similar to Decarabian's methodical organization (to the point of micromanagement) of his city

Qin Shi Huang is also known for connecting various state walls built during previous centuries into the precursor to the Great Wall of China for defence against attacks from northern tribes, parallelling Decarabian's tall walls that encircle Old Mondstadt for Safety (or even the storm barrier)

Bonus：

The state of Qin also conquered the six other powerful states in China at the time, ending the Warring States period — so I propose that Decarabian not only preemptively declared himself the seat of the Anemo Archon (which would explain why both he and Venti get refered to as 'wind god') but also the overall victor of the Archon War

Meet the Admin: Mora

Howdy! My name is Mora, or Sam. You can find me on @lildeathbug on here and entomologyboy on discord! My pronouns are He/They. Any post I create or reblog will have the tag Mora Speaks. I've been a practitioner of witchcraft for.. nine years now? Ten? Somewhere along those lines. As the other mods say pretty commonly in the server- I know a little about a lot, and a lot about a little. I follow both Loki and Dionysos as my main deities, but I've worked loosely with a variety of other Greek and Norse gods. I'm an Audhd, disabled, queer practitioner who is usually very tired. I work third shift at a mental hospital/drug rehabilitation unit so I'll be the one posting at weird hours, when the others are usually asleep. I also have a side hustle as an artist! I grew up in Appalachia, so folk magic has had a large influence on my practice. My first forms of divination, for example, was what I now know is splanchomancy and object tossing! I'm always open to asks and conversations, both here on the blog and on discord, so feel free to ask a question or participate in any 'get to know us' games us mods post about!
