Denn es sei ja Brauch des Menschen, dass er Gefallene gern noch tiefer stößt. Denn es ist ja Menschenbrauch, den umzustoßen, den man fallen sieht. (Klytaimestra in Agamemnon, erster Teil der Orestie) Welche Sagen und Mythen sprechen euch ganz besonders an? Für mich sind es ganz klar die griechischen. Aus diesen Geschichten kann man so viel lernen. Das ist für mich der Stoff, aus dem wahre Helden geboren werden. Für mich war diese Hochkultur eine der bedeutendsten überhaupt, gerade auch was Literatur anbelangt. In diesem Buch findet sich so manch eine spannende Erzählung. . . . #bookstagram #bookstagramdeutschland #bookstagramgermany #deutschebuchblogger #heldensagen #griechischemythologie #sagenundlegenden #buchblogger #griechischeheldensagen #wasleseich #bookstagrammers #bookies #bookish #bücherbücherbücher #lesenundschreiben #bookishfriends #bookishgirl #bookishfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CcikXXxrR_l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is it possible for the Nords to learn the thu'um from Ulfric, or someone else and trash the entirety of Tamriel like they did before. Could the Stormcloaks do that?

My character and his wife, @sagenundlegenden‘s character did. As did another of her characters named Veleda, who married Ulfric. Mine learned Yol Toor Shul, his wife Rebec learned Fus Ro Dah, as she’s a sea captain and ex admiral, and now a priestess of Kyne, sort of lol, and Veleda is the ex Queen, since Ulfric is now dead and the moot chose my character, Baldur over her because of the upcoming war and her originally being from Cyrodiil. And a mage.

Anyway, lol, I don’t think learning the thu’um is nearly as hard as they claim it is, though they never actually said learning the thu’um at all was insanely difficult, only that for most people, mastering one word could take years, and mastering more than that, a lifetime.

It’s a philosophical power, meaning it takes meditating on interpretation. Some people in other words will be more suited to learning certain words based on their personality and lifestyle, and two people could learn the same word by reaching different conclusions.

Theoretically.

We only really know about the method of learning for the Dragonborn, but just looking at dragons themselves, we see that some of them are completely defined by the thu’um that they use. Their actual forms represent it.

So for instance, my character who is always passionate, who feels deeply as a bard and a warrior, even if his role as leader and king dictates he not always show it, fire is a perfect representation of himself. His wife is also a warrior and considered favored by Kyne for her uncanny ability to sail through dangers of the Sea of Ghosts, when sober, Fus Ro Dah is a perfect shout for her, representing the push of waves, winds, the force of nature.

Ulfric in my opinion wouldn’t need to know how to use these words himself, he only needs to be able to convey this core aspect of the thu’um, and share the words of power he himself knows. 

There are also undoubtedly scholars all over Skyrim who still remember some of these words, and have recorded them from word walls in exploration or from memory of stories and books.

The Greybeards do not own the thu’um, its a power that was made possible for Nords by Kyne herself, hence why Nords specifically have that quasi shouting ability in Skyrim as a race power.

Hi there, FYI the photo of the Iraqi girl is not from an orphanage. It's from Flickr, the photographer explained that it's of her cousin who was playing outside and grew tired. The photog's name is Bahareh Bisheh, you can google the explanation on reddit or Flickr, can't post links here.

Ah I see. I had my suspicions but honestly I was too lazy to research. Thank you for informing me though, I’ll be more careful on what I post next time :)

enjoy your homecoming :) I’m sure it will be bittersweet.

Bittersweet - yes. I'm already feeling like crying about leaving Germany. I love it here. I'm going to try and come back pronto.

Safe travels, m’dear. :)

Thank you! It should be safe, once I'm on the plane. 2 suitcases is not so much fun though - 'cause of course I packed too much stuff.

sagenundlegenden replied to your post: Oh. So um, anyone have Skyrim mod suggestions? ...

the Top 100 is a good place to start on Nexus. I like Real Wildlife, crafting extension mods (I have tons so hard to pick one), Ultimate Follower Overhaul, Sexy Towns and Villages, More Map Markers… um sooo many… I’ll think of more.

Ahh, alright, I'll check those out. Thank you!

You got it bad.

Is The Last of Us 2's sex scene skippable, like God of War 3?

I have no idea, I had to ask @sagenundlegenden to watch it for me lol, there were... things said about it that I needed confirmed but didn’t have the stomach to see for myself XD

Also we didn’t buy the game lol, she looked it up on youtube for me.

sagenundlegenden replied to your photoset: Ouch… ice spike to the face.  That’s got to...

my follower had an arrow clean through his neck the other day- was remarkably cheerful about it

Heh, yeah... I figured my gal was all, "Oh let's wait a second, I have something in my eye."  *ice melts* "Ok, all better now."

[colonel-killa-bee]

I had my friend @sagenundlegenden play her dragonborn character for the new Queen of Skyrim in our rp, though she wasn’t dragonborn. We all basically pretended the dragonborn seemingly disappeared after Skyrim’s events and we ignore their description like race, or gender. Only thing we agreed on was that they were a Stormcloak.

So her character, Veleda Fire-Hand was selected by my main character as a candidate for possible marriage to replace Elisif (wasn’t my idea to marry them lol but we rectified that pretty quick XD ) and they were a much better match.

She was a mage and from Cyrodiil so it took her some adjusting to fall into her new position, but she did. She has a strong personality and it caused her to bump heads with Ulfric (who I was playing) at times but eventually they formed a powerful relationship where Veleda forced Ulfric to rethink decisions in a way he wouldn’t have on his own, whether he liked it or not lol.

Of course, Ulfric was murdered later on so that was depressing but it was a great dynamic. So I was always a fan of Ulfric having a strong queen like that, even dragonborn which in Veleda’s case wouldn’t change their dynamic all that much except that Ulfric might have to watch himself lest she tear him apart with her own thu’um lol.

But she’s a mage as well as a tongue now so if he were still alive he’d still need to be careful anyway lol.

Who do you think would make the best waifu for High King Ulfric?

Ulfric has no “waifu” :pAs for a wife.... excluding the character we made for him in our rp, I suppose the girl that works Windhelm’s forge. Though I’d prefer he had someone more of an equal to him, someone older and a warrior. Our RP had his wife and Queen be a battlemage that killed Thalmor secretly in Cyrodiil. @sagenundlegenden made the perfect Queen character for him.

[colonel-killa-bee]

If the next TES game takes place on Hammerfell what guilds would you join? I am definetly joining the Crowns.

It really depends on the political situation. In my RP for instance, the Crowns were resistant to joining the Nords and Imperial alliance against the Thalmor while the Forebear King was willing to join, so my character and @sagenundlegenden’s had to assist him in “convincing” them to join the rest of them.

Lmfao 😆😆 Simba "Ass Man"

😂Didn't think anyone would notice his tag lol.He got that from @sagenundlegenden last Christmas.

[colonel-killa-bee]

If Ulfric were to have a son by adoption or by fucking someone, how do you imagine him: character, personality, ideology, physique, appearance, power(magical, martial, intelligence, etc)?

I have no idea man, kids aren't always like their parents. Certainly not adopted children.In my roleplay, one of my friend @sagenundlegenden's characters became Queen to Ulfric before he died, and she convinced him to adopt Sofie.

Thank you @sagenundlegenden for my beard balm! Nord needs a healthy heard!
