Lucien: "That's NOT how fucking dialectics work, you stupid cuck! I didn't study Xarxes plus continental philosophy in general at The Arcane University for SEVEN FUCKING YEARS for some LOW LIFE KNOW IT ALL who's CLEARLY never fucking read Xarxes as he would KNOW that XARXES has NEVER FUCKING EVER use the terms “thesis, antithesis, synthesis” to start perpetuating these LIES at EVERY SINGLE FUCKING OPPORTUNITY! This isn't Xarxes, my friend, no, no, no. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis was thought up by Sotha Sil and it's clearly inferior to Xarxes' dialectical method of imminent critique. Yes, it's called imminent critique. And dialectics is only ONE PART of Xarxes' full method. Which again is called imminent critique which you would know if you had ACTUALLY BOTHERED TO READ XARXES, IT'S LITERALLY IN THE SCIENCE OF LOGIC, YOU DUMB FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I honestly cannot believe the fucking arrogance to come out here, spouting that anti Xarxes garbage. Where did you get your fucking info on dialectics? Fucking Calcelmo? By The Divines, I cannot deal with this bullshit right now. I'm sorry, I'm leaving, I'm fucking leaving."

I'm an artist, and my friend who is obsessed with Skyrim (the reason why I even play the game) had a birthday this month. I was scrolling online to see if I could order something for them and found the cheap, made-to-print spiral notebook version of the Oghma Infinium and thought... I can do that, but better. So I did.

I took a few creative liberties and obviously it's not EXACT but my friend thinks it's cool and I think it's cool so. There it is.

Mysterium Xarxes

Historians always talk about how impressive Martin Septim's translation of the Mysterium Xarxes is. And like yeah, translating a daedric artifact in record time with minimal effects to your sanity and well-being is impressive. BUT I think everyone forgets the fact that he did it while also getting his dick sucked clean off by the Hero of Kvatch which only makes it even more impressive.

The man was a truly gifted scholar.

Hero of Kvatch: Do you want to take a nap? I’ll stoke the fire and we can cuddle.

Martin, draped over the Mysterium Xarxes like some kind of zombie: Set me on fire. Death is the final sleep.

Hero of Kvatch: Your kinks are getting out of hand, dude.

[peony-plum]

Martin: Everything is fine.

Back from the dead for Snelf headcanons bc Skyrim is my coping mechanism rn

The order of Jephre had no magnificent chantry but a hidden grove very similar to the Eldergleam Sanctuary. Bosmeri exiles from Valenwood weren't uncommon to see there, but they often worked to repent for their exile. The priests would tend to the hidden natural wonders across their landscape and soothe the spirirs of nature. Or even answer their requests to promote peace between the parties.

Archivists fell under the order of Xarxes. They were known to keep archives in a few major cities, but not just anyone could wander into their collections. Obviously, they were protective of their secrets and knowledge, so only highly esteemed snelves could have clearance. Even if they had permission, they were still highly monitored. Good luck stealing from their archives when they stood.

Initiate Paladins had grueling entry exams such as the pilgrimage of the Forgotten Vale, but it went much further after that. They'd be made to sit in the cold with just their robes and recite teachings of Auriel. Usually, their training sessions were held during the day so Auriel could witness.

Trinimac wasn't as popular as others in the Falmeri pantheon, but his order was far from weak. Those devoted to Trinimac often pledged to uphold the image of an honorable warrior like their patron god. However, they could be a bit brutal at times, so they were effective executioners of justice.

The Chantry of Magnus was theorized to be where current day Winterhold stands, but scholars debate on the myth.

Magnus was very popular among any mage in the Falmeri dominion. When a Snow Elf won a magical duel, they'd give thanks to Magnus for their survival.

Necromancy was looked down upon unless it was for channeling purposes. It was a rare practice but often used for guidance from previous masters in desperate times. In all practices, they tried to steer away from using a corpse. They viewed it as tearing the soul from Aetherius.

The priests and priestesses of Mara cared for children orphaned by their mother perishing at birth.

Interestingly, there was a phenomenon coined by Falmeri healers called "Mara's Rage." It was said when a falmer was horrifically assaulted, Mara would give the victim a piece of her aedric anger. Her anger would fuel the victims, and they would pursue their assiliant for revenge.

Syrabane's order was very popular among alchemists and healers. His legends of warding off disease were the inspiration for many young apprentices to begin their studies.

Can someone wake Martin up and tell him that he can stop reading the Xarxes since he already has the Amulet of Kings for some reason?

(Aka the only picture I asked someone in my group to take of my Martin cosplay at Magfest. Tried to go for that bored Jarl look from Skyrim and failed. Whoops.)

Imperator 👑

So Lami has this one ominous voice like that she constantly says to my characters after killing out Morvarth's Lair.

"The gods know what you've done"

At first I thought it was like, an appreciative thing, like I saved the town whoo. Even the gods acknowledge that I saved a town from a vampire plot.

I don't think it is.

Lami and her husband Jorgen have a very high disposition of Alva, a whopping +2 (this isn't sarcasm, having +2 is actually a pretty high disposition). You know Alva, the vampire who was slowly planning on taking over Morthal and goes to the tavern nightly to seduce everyone. She even tries to seduce the inn keeper, which doesn't work on her.

So Alva has not only seduced Hrorgar and Laelette (the vampire we attack by the child's grave and who tries to turn her), but she has Lami, Jorgen and is working on others like Benor, Gorm and Jonna, thou they either express confusion at her attempts (Jonna) or resist but are still tempted.

What's funny is that after it's revealed Alva is actually a vampire, Lami and Jorgen along with some others join in on the hunt (then bail but whatever).

However, due to Bugthesda, Lami and Jorgen's disposition isn't accurately changed to be in our favour after Laid to Rest. They still like Alva and are mad at *you* for killing her.

So Lami's line about the gods knowing what I've done, I think is moreso supposed to be interpreted as 'No one here may hold you accountable for your actions but when you die the gods will take your soul and punish you'.
