Fricking around oblivion or what some theories say he is the new patron deity of the Thalmor, who is in fact surviving Ayleid cultists like umbacano who were betrayed by meridia once she "freed" herself from the deal with Umaril, and he got this thanks to Dyus who knows how to leave his prison at any time, and gave them the knowledge to subdue summerset, destroy the Crystal Law Tower and is Transparent Law so none of the 2e shenanigans repeats, purged the frogs, and is ordering the aldmeri dominion to wipe out any mentions of Tiber Septim because he still wants to erase lorkhan, and their master plan is give The Daedric Prince of Order the Body of the Brass Tower, which will be the plot of TES6 at illiac bay.

I entered SI as the baddest Daedra killer in the history of Nirn. The second I came in contact with Sheo I figured I had found my crown israeliteel and attacked.
It did not go well and I felt that act of hubris was a fitting end and stopped playing.
So tell me lore master how did that CoC become Sheo. If you are as certain as you sound it should be an easy task .
My guess is you will say events in unmodded officially licensed DLC are not canon. Bold move claiming games are no longer canon according to you.

There's actually a pretty good rationalization I've heard for this about Mankar Camoran being intentionally fed misinformation, It's in PatricianTV's Oblivion analysis but I can't find an exact timestamp
It has some decent critiques, and he covers essentially everything in the game, but there is a lot of fluff too. Could easily be a third of the length.
>Get to rule Tamriel
That isn't what he said at all. We wanted to Mehrunes to destroy Tamriel so that the Kalpa would begin again with Lorkhan alive and had the steering wheel again. He believed that he would be given a privileged place in the new kalpa by Lorkhan for his service.
>hur he didn't want to rule Tamriel he wanted to rule Tamriel 2.0
Same shit, he's a tard for thinking Dagon was going to do anything other than destroy the Empire.
Why? Dagon is there to destroy. Its his entire nature. If you give him a chance to destroy Tamriel, he will. Mankar isn't Dagon's partner. He is using Dagon as a tool to accomplish his goal.

He's the prince of change and revolution and he got those. The Empire's supremacy over Tamriel ended with the death of Martin.
He served Mehrunes Dagon thinking he'd get to rule Tamriel, he was moronic.
The implication was obviously that he was in the process of mantelling Mehrunes Dagaon in the same way the player character does to Sheogorath later. I mean Mankar literally had his own little plane of oblivion. What do you think was happening? He was becoming a daedric prince.
>Dude you need to relight the Dragonfires or else Daedra can just walk around Tamriel and open portals and stuff >k. Martin sacrificed himself so that can't happen now. >Nevermind lol, you are actual Sheogorath and here is a big portal to the Shivering Isles
Oblivion made zero sense.
haskill explicitly says it right at the fricking beginning, the portal isn't sealed away because it doesn't threaten mundus. literally one of the first things he says.
If I am the daedric prince of madness I can assure you I am planning some bad shit. > Sheo clearly didn't plan bad shit that is why he xould pass through.
Then that is more proof my CoC was not Sheo.
Akatosh doesn't make shit anymore since Martin died. The Septim's are dead. The Mede Dynasty that rules Tamriel now are simply paper tigers who are puppets of the Thalmor

So you are not a god, your station is just Sheogorath. It doesn't mean you mantked him. Wearing a dress doesn't make you a woman.
Being Sheogorath doesn't mean you are a daedra. You are a mortal who is Sheogorath. Did you lose your racial ability and star sign? No? Then I guess you're still a mortal, with a race and a birthday after all, not a daedra.

Then why do you think Sheogorath being in Tamriel is a problem? Mortals are allowed in Tamriel.
people taking a tongue in cheek oblivion callback to during the mind of madness and using it as the foundational argument as to why the sheogorath in skyrim is the coc is an example of secondhand embarrassment they should use in fricking textbooks
Are you fricking moronic or did you not play Shivering Isles where Jyggalag literally tells CoC he's the new Prince of Madness at the end? There's no argument to be had because it's canon, literally.

You don't know what you're talking about moron. DLC stories are all canon to the player character. What you're saying only applies to the side quests because having the Archmage of the Mages Guild going around leading the Dark Brotherhood is stupid.
Because them being nerevarine and LDB, respectively, are relevant to the plot? >the entire story of tribunal is ayem shitting bricks because nerevar returned and shes trying to hog all god powers for herself in fear of him >miraak literally cant be faced by anyone other than LDB because dragon shouts are the only thing that can break all-maker stones

well ackshually that's canon too and is in fact the very reason all the guilds in skyrim are in such a shit sorry state because you became head of them all and then fricked off to the shivering isles without a word, leaving them leaderless and fricked

Butterflies, blood, a fox, a servered head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for.
you're right anon it's just a complete and total coincidence that sheo, who was mantled by the hero of kvatch, is talking about how he was present during the events in which the character who experienced those events first hand mantled him. yep he was totally just there and this is not at all supposed to be calling attention to the fact that the last time we saw sheo he was mantled by the hero of kvatch.
Try to use your head, Anon, and stop taking things so literally. When you're a daedric prince, you do not have to be physically present to to say you were there. Think about literally any shrine quest. The princes are with you throughout each of them. Can you see them? Are they physically there? No, but they're damn well aware of what you're doing. Sheogorath is right there with you to start the false apocalypse, for instance.
I am using my head you clod, the entire point of my quotes are supposed to be a callback to the shivering islands, which was the last piece of TES media that was out before Skyrim. It's a cheeky reference to show that yes even after the big timeskip, Sheo is mantled by the hero. you aren't using your brain because you're choosing to ignore the extremely obvious you dipshit

No. Aedra made Mundus and Daedra didn't, that's not being contested. The argument is that Mundus itself is fundamentally no different from Oblivion, Aedra and Daedra are all just et'Ada who happened to create different shit and the distinction means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
He was torn apart at the Convention, the moons are the two halves of his body. His heart was thrown down to Nirn, and landed at Red Mountain, impregnating Nirn with his divine essence. So he's Nirn, now.
So am I Sheo or not? If I am Sheo I should know what he knows. It is my plane so if anyone atracks me I should be able to turn them into jack in the boxes or sweetrolls.

Buddy if you put on a Freddy Kreuger mask and start acting like Freddy Kreuger, you're a Freddy Kreuger, and some might think you're -the- Freddy Kreuger, but you're not -that- Freddy Kreuger. Mantling, as the main character does with Sheogorath, is you taking on the guise of an entity and acting as it. Jyggylag says you will "grow" into the position because, by acting as Sheogorath, you act like -that- Sheogorath while becoming -the- Sheogorath. You are both -a- Sheogorath, but -that- Sheogorath became Jyggylag.

Pretty obvious, the entire point of Oblivion was that the main character just straight up snapped, and had a mental break so hard they out crazied Sheogorath, making him step aside and say "It's your turn, son".
I like to think the CoC saved the world, then went on an elf killing spree while naked with a red diamond on his chest in blood, screaming that he was Pelinel, and was last seen swimming out into the ocean while babbling, never to be seen again.
Yes, most of them at least. The exception being Talos, who is usually counted among the aedra despite being theologically closer to a daedra, and also some fricked up human-ascendant amalgam that got retconned into reality rather than a proper creator god.
Sort of. They were all et'Ada, and the defining thing about the aedra *is* that they sacrificed themselves for/got duped into making Mundus, but even before that point they were largely divided along Anuic/Padomaic lines. The Aedra were descended from Anu (stasis, order) and the Daedra from Padomay (change, chaos).
Lorkhan is Padomaic and the whole thing was his idea, but he's not usually counted as an Aedra/one of the Nine Divines the Empire worship, though he is worshipped by a bunch of pre-Imperial religions.
Aedra are a mixture of Anuic and Padomaic.

I mean everyone knows that
If they initially didn't care about Mundus why do the DPs want to be worshiped by mortals (other than vanity that is)? Do they actually get more powerful by it?
They are fascinated by certain aspects of creation and are drawn to it. Some are vain, some are sympathetic to mortals, some want things Mundus has. Worshippers are convenient tools for them, like how Nocturnal gets security guards out of Nightingales, or how Hircine gets hunting hounds out of werewolves. Or how N'Gasta sold souls to Vile.
Boethiah to the Velothi. Meridia to the Ayleids. Malacath to the Orcs (and sometimes ogres). It's not they don't have ulterior motives in play, but they do intervene for mortals' benefit.
He's leading them astray because he's blinded by his rage, not because he wants them to be pariahs. He isn't really concerned with who is or isn't an outcast, he and the orcs just happen to be outcasts. He thinks his sense of honor and strength are what keep the orcs alive, but it also keeps them from growing beyond barbarism.
The dragonborn is literally the will of Lorkhan and Akatosh, Lorkhan for giving hope for Men and Mer and being his avatar on mundus, and Akatosh for uniting the Dov back to their original purpose without alduin who became corrupted by his own instincts and greed, and inherit his soul and blesing.
Paarthunax is literally the will of Kyne, not only for him growing fondly of men but also for serving the will of the divines after all these years and overcoming his own instincts, even ol naarf spoke with him and this possibly led to his decision to serve Tiber Septim once the empire was born.
Sotha wanted to perfect Tamriel with his Clock Work city, didn't succeed and birthed a "daughter" Memory to help finish it in his stead. You can see him pregnant with her in this picture with Almalexia in full war gear ready to protect him.
this is one of the hemaphrodite and troony trips MK regrets and dismisses along with pelinal being gay.
the fact that he was heavily involved with ESO Morrowind, Summerset and Clockwork DLC's to fix this issue kinda shows that he has influence at bethesda.

Malacath was vored by Boethiah and she did to him what giantess doujins do.

I think amaranth is used to make everyones headcanon viable.
It is a riff on the BudHIST time has no begininng or end just a series of timelines creating a series of timelines creating a series of timelines ad infinitum.
Considering it non-canon and regretting it is not the same
Also to add more, Memory is 100% in ESO in the Sermon 37 >And Seht held his swollen belly to its name, clockmaker's daughter, swimming the dead confession along a century of thread, Naming her, uneaten, a golden cache of Veloth and Velothi, for where else would they know to go?
Where do you guys think 6 is going narratively?
Is the Empire-Dominion conflict actually happening? If it's Hammerfell is it going to be a story of trying to get the Redguards to ally with the Empire again or is that too similar to Skyrim?
thinking about where it SHOULD go just makes me angry and frustrated that it probably won't.
thinking about how it will probably go(the direnni tower being the center of a doomsday event) makes me feel nonplussed.
direnni tower is ok as maybe the culmination of the greater conflict.
but the greater conflict should be the final man-mer war. the culmination of the thalmor's plans. it should show skyrim having broken free from the empire, in an alliance with hammerfell and maybe the both of them in talks with the empire for a temporary alliance as dominion aggression ramps up.

they lack access to any other way to end reality.
having them just become some secret daedric cult would be boring and defeat the whole purpose of their goal.
the only other non-boring route would be for them to try to take the direnni tower so that they can try to dance atop it like the marukhati selective in an attempt to use tonal magic to destabilize the code of reality enough to break it and cause the godhead to awaken, ending all reality.

Is there a more shit on race in elder scrolls than bosmer? They have no relevance, no legendary historical character, NOTHING.
Bretons are NOT comic relief and if you say that again my entire knightly order WILL attack you and you BETTER BELIEVE we will try our hardest to reach your knees
>They have no relevance, no legendary historical character, NOTHING.
A Bosmer Dynasty's ascencion to power was what began the 1st era. The Camoran Usurper was also a bosmer, and he nearly conquered all of Western Tamriel.
Argonians are the one race that have absolutely not a single relevant historical figure in the lore.
Not all lore discussions are dry recitation of names and dates. Well not until the joyless fricks started showing up. They are souless automatons spewing wiki articles like a Morrowind NPC.
Their tale has been known even before it was told the first time.
No spear in TES history is as well known as the one this hero deals with.
From Rieklings to Emperors all know this tale.
Lifts-her-tail is a in-universe fictional character not a historical figure
The closest thing to a historical figure Argonians have was the one from the Gregory Keyes novel and the b***h from ESO who leads the super speshul Argonian army that made the alliance with the nords and dunmer, and even then no one in-universe knows or cares about them
I claimed the most famous character was Argonian. To which you replied they were an in un universe fictional CHARACTER ( emphasis mine)
I don't know what you were hoping to accomplish in dragging down an attempt at lighthearted discussion.
The new lore fans have no joy in this anymore. They take themselves way to seriously.

Why is TES lore so autistic? Is it actually good or just fever dream ramblings of fanbois desperately clinging to the hope that vidya could ever approach art?
Mainly the latter. The series itself approves of endless fanfiction and fan-defined truth. Most of the interesting stuff in the lore comes from the massive lore gaps in the game, where people try to connect the dots with weird shit and create a weird narrative. Bethesda hates the idea of alienating the dumber portion of their fanbase, everything has to be simple or the dummy might get scared and confused. They'll never put any genuinely cool shit in, they just leave room for it in the lore and don't refute players that say the cool shit is actually there.
To many cooks. The actual games, ESO, and the fanfics has turned it into a shitshow.
Stick to the geopolitics. The metaphysics nerds have no interest in it so won't corrupt it like the metaphysics.
Auriel is an altmer tulpa projected over the true form of akatosh by force of belief in what amounts to a cultural alteration spell, read breathing water, it's all there I'm not a schizo, lorkhan tore his own heart out in the form of akatosh, in doing so committing the space of mundus to stasis as dead lorkhan while the time of mundus was allowed to remain in flux as akatosh time-space both think of the kynareth connection it's all in the numbers Auriel wasn't real until he was made in to having always been by dirty mer mass delusion/alteration/religion
>KIRKBRIDE SAID
his work isn't canon moron, the entire reason he got shitcanned was because how he wanted elder scrolls lore to go didn't pan out with what Todd wanted
I'm literally telling you that Kirkbride was shut down because his headcanon would interfere with the player being pelinel
[...] >puts on magic pants >yeah actually im le time travelling cyborg whitesnake now
Yeah okay uncle sheo
No, I said there were 6 timeloops, where the empire was radically different. In 1 timeline the empire was a space faring empire that sent a Terminator. In another it was an imperial. In the oblivion setting it allows pelinel to be anything.
[...]
why cant he be both at the same time?
Because sheogorath wasn't mantled (because that isn't how mantling works) and the entire greymarch event only started after the Player activated xedillian, the machine that changes an adventures perception of reality.
and I'm telling you pelinal being the player was probably some bullshit he made up in one of his drug fueled hazes, additionally bethesda change their minds all the time
the only thing canon we have is the games and they're pretty straightforward, you become sheogorath at the end of shivering isles
sheogorath in skyrim makes references to this in his voice lines
done and done, anything else is just pure copium
I'm not telling you again. It wasn't Kirkbride that said pelinel was the oblivion character. It was written by the actual Bethesda staff. Kirkbride only contributed a single page. I'm not quoting Kirkbride, I'm telling you factual information from the game, not his schizo blog
there is no developer source that pelinal is intended to be the player other than kirkbride's schizo anectdotes so no, you are wrong and fat and probably trans too
Not only is there developer source but it's also in game.
there is no developer source that pelinal is intended to be the player other than kirkbride's schizo anectdotes so no, you are wrong and fat and probably trans too
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Song_of_Pelinal,_Book_I >and he was Pelinal the Third, though whether this was because some said he was a god guiser, who had incarnated twice before already, or that, simpler, he was the third vision given to Perrif, anon Alessia, in her prayers of liberation before he walked among the quarters of rebellion, is unknown.
Oof already I'm corrected by my own information. He wasn't the 6th pelinel, he was the third, my bad.
>And then] Kyne granted Perrif another symbol, a diamond soaked red with the blood of elves, [whose] facets could [un-sector and form] into a man whose every angle could cut her jailers and a name: PELIN-EL [which is] "The Star-Made Knight" [and he] was arrayed in armor [from the future time].
Time travel
>And he walked into the jungles of Cyrod already killing
Remember those autists who spaz about how oblivion was supposed to be a jungle? That's because it was, in another timeloop. Pelinel came and changed that.
>he took it upon himself to slay the sorcerer-kings of the Ayleids in pre-arranged open combats rather than at war; Pelinal called out Haromir of Copper and Tea into a duel at the Tor, and ate his neck-veins while screaming praise to Reman, a name that no one knew yet.
And so forth. I could quote all 6 books but it would take multiple posts. The fact is, akatosh is the god of time, kvatch's patron deity is akatosh which you saved, granting you his undying favor. Martin became akatosh and you were the only mortal peasant to be trusted with the amulet. You're the only man to fulfill pelinels final duty and don his complete armor. The oblivion PC is also a legendary doomslayer who went into oblivion itself and slew armies of daemons. If anyone is pelinel it's the oblivion main character.

He's totally out of touch with the lore but has replied to a bunch of us, writing a wall proclaiming himself to be right.
Ridiculous.
there is no developer source that pelinal is intended to be the player other than kirkbride's schizo anectdotes so no, you are wrong and fat and probably trans too
but you don't become pelinal in knights of the nine, pelinal, a clearly seperate guy cooms to you as a ghost and essentially tells you to just finish this one job for him and then frick off
and then you do
and then in shivering isles you literally canonically become sheogorath
at no point do you become pelinal
The shivering isles is a demonic dimension of smoke and mirrors where everybody is a delusional schizo. Are you seriously arguing that everything that happened in there was real? Nobody leaves the shivering isles sane. Sheogorath lied to you the entire time. What proof do you have that Sheo told the truth. What proof do you have the Player became sheo besides a change weather spell
he's clearly just moronic, anybody who knows about pelinal also knows he's supposed "mirror" the player by being an insane genocide driven freak but it's not literal which is why he only shows up in game as a ghost
meanwhile sheogorath is canonically the oblivion pc because it's a nice and easy way to remove the oblivion pc from history so people don't have to ask how the empire could have possibly fallen to elves in skyrim
The pelinel you meet in the dlc is definitely not you, but you travel back in time and become the next pelinel. That's canon.
You never become sheogorath. The entire greymarch story only occurs after this quest
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:A_Better_Mousetrap
https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:Baiting_the_Trap
By activating the xedillian you essentially drug yourself and sheo let's you pretend you're a god.
And what happens when you "become the prince of madness"? >A randomly change weather spell you can only activate once a day(which could also just make you think it's raining in your mind)
You can still be arrested by the golden saints and dark seducers lmao
You aren't sheogorath. You never mantled sheo. You never will mantl him. And that throwaway line in Skyrim by the real sheogorath about knowing Martin? We already know Martin was a daedra worshipers and spoke with multiple different daedra before the oblivion crises happened. The context didn't refer to the player's relationship with Martin.
Just accept you got duped by the god of trickery and madness and move on.
>yes I will discount an entire expansion and direct reference in a future game so that I can push my headcanon that's not even supported by my own in game evidence

Here's Kirkbride literally confirming what I said.
https://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/2ahrz4/comment/cix1uae/ >The reason it was changed was a simple matter of keeping his sexuality ambiguous. Since the player was donning Pelinal's armor, completing a mission that he could not, in a sense becoming him, being so blunt about Pelinal's sexuality was too... definitive (?) in relation to the PC's own. Given the open nature of TES PCs, I felt that it was fine to keep it open to interpretation.

How much fricking clearer do you want it to be? Skyrim Sheo directly references the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood that he has literally zero stake in unless he was the CoC. Jygger calls you Sheogorath, the course of the expansion is you acting as an agent of Sheogorath so you can mantle him at the ending. Sheo as you knew him is now Jyggalag, you overtake the role of Sheogorath, the Prince of Madness.

Sheogorath in Skyrim mentions he witnessed the events but all daedra were witnessing a Kaiju fight between a daedric prince and a divine god.
If the coc is sent back in time then their involvement with the future is gone. They aren't split into 2 people, one being pelinel and the other being sheogorath.
However it's truth that pelinel is mad, he frequently went into berserk mode and wouldn't stop unless the 8 divines intervened.
There's a passage in the songs of pelinel where it's disputed whether pelinel is a shezarine, neither confirming or denying it. Which makes it interesting.
But being sheogorath? Why doesn't anyone trust a god of insanity.

>Ok so can you post an official quote that says the Point of the dlc is to become the prince of madness?
"Enough! I am beaten. The Greymarch is ended. For millennia this drama has unfolded, and each time, I have conquered this land, only to be transformed back into that gibbering fool, Sheogorath. It was not always so. Once, I ruled this Realm, a world of perfect Order. My dominion expanded across the seas of Oblivion with each passing era. The other Princes, fearful of my power, cursed me with Madness, doomed me to live as Sheogorath, a broken soul reigning in a broken land. Once each era, I was allowed my true form, conquering this world anew. And each time I did, the curse was renewed, damning me to exist as Sheogorath. Now, though, you have ended the cycle. You now hold the mantle of madness, and Jyggalag is free to roam the voids of Oblivion once more. I will take my leave, and you will remain here, mortal. Mortal...? King? God? It seems uncertain. This Realm is yours. Perhaps you will grow to your station. Fare thee well, Sheogorath, Prince of Madness." >Sheogorath in Skyrim mentions he witnessed the events but all daedra were witnessing a Kaiju fight between a daedric prince and a divine god.
He also mentions things that daedra in general wouldn't know about, like the passing of the mantle of the grey fox, Mathieu Bellamont's mother's severed head, and most importantly, "butterflies", both what the CoC saw when they first entered the shivering isles. >If the coc is sent back in time
The CoC did not time travel. You aren't the pelinal whitestrake from the future, he's literally an android. Pelinal was created in the future, came back in time, and you mantled him, and then later became Sheogorath. >There's a passage in the songs of pelinel where it's disputed whether pelinel is a shezarine, neither confirming or denying it.
First of all, the obvious implication of the book is that he is, but your beloved kirkbride confirmed it.

You showed up part way into this thread.
There have been 4 seperate pelinel whitestrakes.
The pelinel in the books was referred to as pelinel the third, for he was the third reincarnation.
In 1 timeline the empire was a space faring science fiction empire, and they sent a Terminator.
There pelinel we saw in oblivion was definitely not an android, but the third pelinel who was an imperial.
The fourth pelinel is the coc who can be a khajiit for all we know.
Mantling just didn't happen. You have nothing to prove mantling happened. You didn't grow into the prince of madness, how can you trust jygalag or the prince of madness?
You also keep thinking this is a Kirkbride fanfiction which it isn't. Again, you showed up halfway into the discussion and are ignoring the reply chain. Scroll up

>how can you trust jygalag or the prince of madness?
Because the Prince of Madness ceases to fricking exist when he transforms into Jyggalag, who has no reason to play tricks seeing as he is about order, then you whip his ass so badly he becomes his own deity again and then you fill the vacuum of Prince of Madness, which Jyggalag FRICKING TELLS YOU, therefore mantling Sheogorath, not to mention the entire DLC was grooming you into acting and thinking like Sheogorath.

First of all, yes he is, at least some of his work. But more importantly, none of his work outside the games does anything to suggest the CoC can't or didn't mantle sheogorath. Quite the opposite, in fact, since most of what we know about Shezzarine comes from his out-of-game works, and they paint shezzarines as being ideal candidates to mantle sheogorath.

Skip to 0:45. The YouTuber isn't me in case you're wondering
This is a quests where you activate a device that distorts an adventurers reality. Of you watch how it affects ordinary adventurer's you'll see that some think they are dead while others become obsessed with a single idea. It's a schizo device. And immediately after you finish the quest the grey knights attack.
How can you prove that jygalag wasn't a hallucination. It's the realm of madness. Everybody is insane. Every NPC is living in a delusional reality. That's what happens to the player character.

One of the first things you see is a group of in-over-their-heads weak willed "adventurers" get pounded into paste by the Gatekeeper, the last of which runs off screaming like a pansy.
They are just weak willed pussies that wandered into something they weren't ready for and went insane through your own meddling, almost like something that would contribute to mantling a certain someone.

Sheogorath created a guy who was fully sane but spoke in gibberish to everyone unless you owned a magic fork. He's most likely just hiding from you or making you imagine a pile of dogshit as the palace you think you're the king of. He's literally always trying to frick with you.

Except the Sheogorath of Skyrim makes explicit references to the concept of divine manteling and obscure details in Oblivion that wouldn't make sense if he wasn't the CoC since obviously the last dragonborn wouldn't know about them so it couldn't be to frick with them. Are you arguing that Skyrim Sheogorath is breaking the fourth wall to frick with us, the players, by making it look like he's the CoC when he actually isn't? Because if so, I think you're the one who's gone mad.

Sheogorath in Skyrim says nothing about mantling. None of the games mention mantling. Stop using that word when you don't know what it means.
Sheogorath sees everything that happens in his realm. It isn't obscure knowledge to bring up scraps of trivia of the COC's adventure. >Sheogorath is breaking the fourth wall to frick with us

No, you were filling in for a low level torturing position. Sheogorath made a giant pit and filled it with clowns/clouds to stop the greymarch. You were hardly groomed into being sheogorath by slaying knights
You were however, cleansed of all sin by going on the pilgrimage of pelinel, completing various tasks to prove your worth as pelinels heir, became the first to don pelinels armor and fulfill his unfinished duty.
And what's that? A book? That describes pelinel was a time traveling adventurer? And that Martin became the god of time?

Pelinel IS from the future. The CoC took up his mantle after he died. He doesn't become the pelinal who came back from the future, because that was a fricking android created in the 9th era.

The most specific references would be the blood of Tiber Septim retrieved from Sancre Tor, severed head of Mathieu Bellamont's mother, encountered towards the tail end of the Dark Brotherhood questline in Oblivion. He also mentions explicitly that Sheogorath is actually a "family title", getting handed down from "me to myself every few thousand years".

Damn this is starting to make sense.
what's extra funny is again, the reason all the guilds declined from the 200 years between oblivion and skyrim is because the hero of kvatch canonically completed all their quests and then fricked off to the SI leaving them leaderless
Lucienne Lachance's ghost even tells you to your face that the oblivion dark brotherhood quest happened. That and also sheogorath telling you to your face he was there
We know the hero of kvatch disappeared. But nowhere does it state it was solely in the shivering isles
Lucien LaChance never mentions the hero of kvatch once. You can check the elder scrolls wiki for that.
Sheogorath mentions he knew Martin. But Martin told the hero of kvatch he worshipped and made deal with daedra before he became a priest of akatosh. So that sheogorath quote doesn't confirm anything.
One dlc takes place in a demonic dimension of madness with the sole purpose of turning you crazy.
The other DLC is about collecting a legendary heroes armor, proving your worth and completing a crusade. And it all comes with a book that directly states that the hero was an adventurer that came from the future.
the neravarine is canonically also the hero of kvatch who is also canonically sheogorath
this must be the case because otherwise the player in skyrim wouldn't be able to acquire >the mace of molag baal >the ring of khajiiti >the star of azura
he had to have left those behind otherwise they'd be unobtainable
Why couldn’t we side with him?
Same reason you can't side with Dagoth or the AD. They are going to lose.
You were supposed to be able to side with Dagoth in Morrowind, Bethesda just got lazy, and then continued to be lazy.
Why would you side with a traitor?
Because he treated me with respect. Nobody has ever done that before so the world can burn for all i care...
Vivec was a total bro to you.
>Conspires to kill you and proceed to bang your girl
What a bro
But Vivec never mentioned Ahnassi once.
Ahnassi
A Nazi
Hmmm.
Why do you think she's my waifu?
You can but then you can't complete the main quest.
because emil pagliarulo cant write
TES games arent really role playing games just linear theme park simulators.
Any video game rpg is a linear theme park you fricking moron. There's only so much code the devs are going to write.
The only true rpgs are pen and paper.
Frick you.
Because then Bethesda will have to write a dragonbreak again and make all endings canon like daggerfall
Because you learn he’s actually lying and all his loyal followers in “paradise” are being tortured by demons
why can he wear the amulet of kings?
He is Dragonborn. He even describes using Dragonshouts in the Commentaries.
>still lose against a mere mortal without any special powers whatsoever
what a b***h
Was becoming sheogorath before or after the closing of the dawn?
Before because it was a DLC and most people finished the game before it came out
you were Sheogorath the entire time though, notnjust after shivering isles
is that actually canon? i didnt know that
Not really, you only become Sheo later by mantling him
No. You were a prisoner. You mantle sheo at the end of the Shivering Isle dlc.
kirkbride made up the prisoner archetype and he also said you do NOT mantle sheo
so pick one
Then the Sheo in Skyrim is the same one from Oblivion? But what about ol' Jygg
Fricking around oblivion or what some theories say he is the new patron deity of the Thalmor, who is in fact surviving Ayleid cultists like umbacano who were betrayed by meridia once she "freed" herself from the deal with Umaril, and he got this thanks to Dyus who knows how to leave his prison at any time, and gave them the knowledge to subdue summerset, destroy the Crystal Law Tower and is Transparent Law so none of the 2e shenanigans repeats, purged the frogs, and is ordering the aldmeri dominion to wipe out any mentions of Tiber Septim because he still wants to erase lorkhan, and their master plan is give The Daedric Prince of Order the Body of the Brass Tower, which will be the plot of TES6 at illiac bay.
Kirkbride's a gay who didn't read the script if he claims that skyrim sheo isn't the CoC, he clearly is.
All that is canon is someone finished the Shivering Isles . Not neccessarily the CoC. Most likely but not certain
You witness it firsthand in game from the perspective of CoC so yes CoC is sheogarath
I entered SI as the baddest Daedra killer in the history of Nirn. The second I came in contact with Sheo I figured I had found my crown israeliteel and attacked.
It did not go well and I felt that act of hubris was a fitting end and stopped playing.
So tell me lore master how did that CoC become Sheo. If you are as certain as you sound it should be an easy task .
My guess is you will say events in unmodded officially licensed DLC are not canon. Bold move claiming games are no longer canon according to you.
That's just your head canon. It's like saying you aren't the dragonborn in Skyrim because you didn't kill any dragons because your character is a dragonfricker and wanted to have sex with them instead.
I would still be dragonborn even if I ignored the main quest. They even account for the possibility when you ask if you are the only Dragonborn. They allow for the possibility there is another .
No. By your logic if I stopped before anyone called me the dragonborn, then I'm not the dragonborn. Because you stopped before anyone called you Lord Sheogarath.
You are still dragonborn whether you do the main quest or not. You can absorb dragon souls. I don't see how not doing the main quest changes that
Actually if you don't do the main quest then dragons never appear and this you never absorb any dragon souls. b***h
I can still do it even if I don't use it. This isn't rocket science. You used a poorly thought out analogy
How are you going to absorb a dragon soul if there's no dragons to kill? moron.
If you are married to your poor analogy out of stubborness then you do you. I will keep replying as long as you want to soothe your bruised ego as a courtesy to you. Take your time and let it out.
Not him but that homosexual your responding to is the kind of guy who thinks his fanfics are canon.
>MC isn't Sheogorrath because my choices in my game is the benchmark for all the lore.
Is he trying to reference the fact that in Elder Scrolls 2 ALL the choices were canon. Thats because the Agent caused a Dragon Break. That didn't happen in all the other games.
> Just because Bethesda went through hoops to validate everyones playthrough in one game doesn't mean they do it in all.
They have shown it is indeed a design philosophy. What is Vivec up to?
Gone and they don't know where
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Pocket_Guide_to_the_Empire,_3rd_Edition/Morrowind
>Dagoth Ur and two members of the Tribunal, Almalexia and Sotha Sil, were destroyed in the Nerevarine's fury. Vivec too may have been killed, but his fate is currently undetermined.
inb4 you sperg about "Wikipedia links" when someone links a canonical answer to your question
Yes his whereabouts are a rumor in Oblivion because most people killed him and for those that did not kill him it explained the absence of a figure of note.
I was just showing Bethesda very much cares about making your playthrough canon to you.
If you are looking for word of god this is what happened canon TES is the wrong series for you. They use the Schroedingers cat method of canon. Until they say what happened everything happened.
So things that happened in game are no longer canon? You have jumped the shark
Your character dying isn't canon. If that were the case I could just say the CoC dies to a rat in the sewers and therefore no events in TES4 happened.
You could say your character dodn't donthem and you would be correct. You can't say that nobody else could have possibly done them.
It's a single player game. The player character is the only protagonist. There's only one CoC, it's not multiple people.
If the one personally chosen by the emperor in his prophetic vision dies to a rat then the events of the game do not occur. Simple as that
You were chosen by the Emperor to help in the SI?
There is nothing that would prevent someone else from completing the SI quest if you dod not do it.
You didn't have to be the ShiveringIsleborn.
There is no reason in game or out that prevents somebody not the player from completing the SI quest
Who's somebody else? Do they appear in the game? Do you play as them? If not, Sounds like you're inventing head canon
Once again not sure what you are trying to get across.
Are you saying you can see no possibility for someone else to complete the events of the SI?
What is stopping them? Nothing from what I can see.
The player is the only one who can do those quests. If you think some other character did it, name them.
Why dobyou tjink the player is the only one who can do the quests?
Do you think the player is the only one who can do the guild quests?
There is no reason in game or out preventing some random hero from doing them.
I don't recall creating a second character when playing SI. The coc is the hero in the expansion.
What the hell does that have to do with anything? Thanks for the update though.
>the coc isn't the protagonist of SI
>ok well the only available option is to take your coc and play SI but it's not canon because reasons
You aren't making any sense.
The only character that does the SI is also the coc. You can't not be the coc. You can avoid the coc quest, but you're still the guy in the prison cell. No one else becomes Sheogorath, it's that guy that did.
How do you prove no ody else on Nirn could have done what the CoC did in SI?
Remember without the hero there is no event. You aren't the only hero .
Did you even play Oblivion?
Yeah he made up the prisoner thing to be put in game. That was his job anon
The entire game is the mad raving fantasy of Sheogorath in prisoner form.
>a mere mortal without any special powers whatsoever
The main character of Oblivion is a shezzarine, all of whom are nigh-invincible lunatics.
The Prisoner outranks a dragonborn on the special snowflake meter.
He didn't lose to a mere mortal.
He was doing an impression of you every time some random bandit whips out that lightning bolt that does a frickton of damage.
orange homie can't even shout
The simulation hadn't been updated with shouts yet, please understand.
can't shout if there are no dragon souls to eat to unlock them
Ulfric and the Greybeards could shout without dragon souls
They had to study for decades to learn a single word. Dragonborn hack the server by absorbing dragon souls.

He used mehrunes razor to cut his soul into being that of a dragonborn's while also changing his race form bosmer to altmer. also explains his confusion in what prince owns what plane, as fricking with your soul like that can't be healthy.

There's actually a pretty good rationalization I've heard for this about Mankar Camoran being intentionally fed misinformation, It's in PatricianTV's Oblivion analysis but I can't find an exact timestamp
?t=21207
>A Quick Retrospective
>11:59:59
Is this supposed to be "le funny x"
It has some decent critiques, and he covers essentially everything in the game, but there is a lot of fluff too. Could easily be a third of the length.
They were just so used to MKs babble they just figured it is what he wanted.
He is not known for being straigtforward and clear in his writing.
He served Mehrunes Dagon thinking he'd get to rule Tamriel, he was moronic.
>Get to rule Tamriel
That isn't what he said at all. We wanted to Mehrunes to destroy Tamriel so that the Kalpa would begin again with Lorkhan alive and had the steering wheel again. He believed that he would be given a privileged place in the new kalpa by Lorkhan for his service.
>Camoran was actually the good guy all along
wtf todd
Altmer so enraged over a Nord becoming divine they would rather end reality than deal with it.
Camoran literally did everything he did because he was a hardcore worshipper of the Nords' main god though
A corruppted version sure. His personal head canon turned out to be wrong.
>hur he didn't want to rule Tamriel he wanted to rule Tamriel 2.0
Same shit, he's a tard for thinking Dagon was going to do anything other than destroy the Empire.
Why? Dagon is there to destroy. Its his entire nature. If you give him a chance to destroy Tamriel, he will. Mankar isn't Dagon's partner. He is using Dagon as a tool to accomplish his goal.
then how did Dagon cuck him in the end?
>He is using Dagon as a tool to accomplish his goal.
So he's a tard who thought he could pull one over on MD. Dagon got everything he wanted, Camoran on the other hand is dead. Because he was a moron.
>Dagon got everything he wanted
???
The only battle he won in the whole war was Kvatch. Not a single other town in all of Tamriel actually lost to him.
He managed to kill the Emperor too. That's a big victory.
Dagon didn't kill the emperor. The Mythic Dawn did. Dagon couldn't even open an Oblivion gate while the emperor was alive. And killing an emperor isn't exactly a big feat. Like half of them die by assassination.
And the Mythic Dawn were working for Dagon through Cameron.
Why does Dagon care if an emperor lives or dies? He is immortal. He can just wait out any emperor if he wants. He wanted to destroy Tamriel, and he was unsuccessful.
Dagon is also the prince of change and revolution, and Tamriel did change a lot after if he did his thing, so i like to think he was still satisfied with the result in the end
This. The Empire went to complete shit after the Septim bloodline died off.
>Blades pretty much disbanded and burned at the stake
>Get BTFO by a bunch of high elves and become pretty much a puppet state of the Thalmor
>The Mede Dynasty that now rules Tamriel are practically paper tigers with zero divine bloodline
>He can just wait out any emperor if he wants
Because when I think change and destruction, I totally think sitting on one's ass and waiting.
Heh, literally like us, the anonymous legion!
>Dagon didn't personally stab Uriel so I'll ignore that he arranged the events that led to Uriel's death
I bet you think Al Capone never killed anyone either.
Who gave you internet access in oblivion, Lyranth?
He steamrolled Summerset.
All those busted up cities and forts in Skyrim? Busted up by him, the Nords never had the resources or manpower to repair and resettle them.
Ald'Ruhn and Ghostgate got stomped by him in Morrowind.
These are the ones explicitly mentioned, it's implied everyone else except for Argonia got the same treatment.
Kirkbride even wanted Valenwood to get steamrolled so hard they had to perform a race-wide wild hunt to stop him, and there would be no Bosmer left in the world, but that got shot down.
>still got beaten by argonians
kwab
> Wanted the Bosmer to disappear.
I don't think anyone would have noticed if they did.
The Septim line was ended. Dagon brought change to the Empire. He had no intentions of destroying Tamriel, he knew he couldn't as his invasion was already prophesied. What he wanted was havoc and to end or change the Empire. It was his goal in Arena and Battlespire too, to frick over the Empire.
he also destroyed the crystal tower of summerset, a massive blow to the stability of reality.
but he won because through these events he toppled a dynasty and forced massive change to tamriel. the events of the oblivion crisis lead to civil unrest in cyrodiil and eventually the great war with the dominion due to the weakened state of the empire.
He's the prince of change and revolution and he got those. The Empire's supremacy over Tamriel ended with the death of Martin.
I remember him believing that Dagon was the original Et'Ada ruler of the Mundus
The implication was obviously that he was in the process of mantelling Mehrunes Dagaon in the same way the player character does to Sheogorath later. I mean Mankar literally had his own little plane of oblivion. What do you think was happening? He was becoming a daedric prince.
Nice headcanon, but no. Can't mantle what's already there. Sheogorath and Lorkhan were absent, Mehrunes wasn't.
>Dude you need to relight the Dragonfires or else Daedra can just walk around Tamriel and open portals and stuff
>k. Martin sacrificed himself so that can't happen now.
>Nevermind lol, you are actual Sheogorath and here is a big portal to the Shivering Isles
Oblivion made zero sense.
i think story wise, the gate to sheo's opens same time as the oblivion gates
haskill explicitly says it right at the fricking beginning, the portal isn't sealed away because it doesn't threaten mundus. literally one of the first things he says.
So it's just subjective to what is a "threat"
The lore in this franchise is actually so dogshit lol
If I am the daedric prince of madness I can assure you I am planning some bad shit.
> Sheo clearly didn't plan bad shit that is why he xould pass through.
Then that is more proof my CoC was not Sheo.
Akatosh makes the rules. Guess he's cool with Sheo poking his nose into Cyrodiil.
Akatosh doesn't make shit anymore since Martin died. The Septim's are dead. The Mede Dynasty that rules Tamriel now are simply paper tigers who are puppets of the Thalmor
Akatosh is in charge of the barrier, moron.
The portal was letting mortals into the Isles, not daedra into Tamriel.
But you become Sheogorath. Sheogorath is fricking walking around Tamriel.
You aren't a daedra
Play Shivering Isles.

Wouldn't be the first time they got something wrong.
>Jyggalag: Now, though, you have ended the cycle. You now hold the mantle of madness, and Jyggalag is free to roam the voids of Oblivion once more. I will take my leave, and you will remain here, mortal. Mortal...? King? God? It seems uncertain. This Realm is yours. Perhaps you will grow to your station. Fare thee well, Sheogorath, Prince of Madness. "
uhmmm ASCHTUALLY the game itself is wrong
He's gonna say it's wrong because it contradicts Arena or some shit
If that is the case why isn't there a statue of Sheogorath in Bruma?
Wouldn't the guilds you led mention Sheogorath was in charge in the records somewhere?
If established lore on mantling is wrong then you could be Sheo. If it is correct then you aren't.
>Perhaps you will grow to your station. Fare thee well, Sheogorath, Prince of Madness.
So you are not a god, your station is just Sheogorath. It doesn't mean you mantked him. Wearing a dress doesn't make you a woman.
Thread will turn to shit from here, thanks moron.
If you are Sheo how can you return after the Oblivion main quest?
isn't the caveat that they can't cross if they have malicious intent or some shit? I just wanted to fill my house with more watermelons
Being Sheogorath doesn't mean you are a daedra. You are a mortal who is Sheogorath. Did you lose your racial ability and star sign? No? Then I guess you're still a mortal, with a race and a birthday after all, not a daedra.
Jygg said that you will grow into your position with time.
You literally ascended into godhood by mantling, same ol trick Tiber septim and mannimarco pulled out.
Mannimarco is a god? Where is that stated? He seems to be just a lich. I don't think he is meant to be a God since he just plays the role of a jobber in ESO, Daggerfall, and Oblivion.
it's kinda weird in that both he does become a god, but doesn't because of the warp in the west. he does successfully become the necromancer's moon, but also continues to live on as the man because every ending happening at the same time.
He becomes a God in one of Daggerfall's endings, something that did happen since every Daggerfall ending is canon. He's the Necromancer's moon.
He literally becomes a god in Daggerfall, and he IS a god in Oblivion
He a jobber in Oblivion. When I first played Oblivion, I didn't even know who he was. Just went and bonked him in the face with my sword, and thought "Man, what a lame ending to the mage's guild"
Jobbermarco and Divinemarco are different guys. The moon that turns soul gems black is the real deal.
I played Daggerfall and Morrowind before Oblivion and I knew exactly what Mannimarco's character was. It was perfectly consistent with the previous two games, which was actually really cool to see. If you played those then you should know exactly what's going on.
Yeah, the coc is Sheogorath. But not a daedra. How are you not getting this? Talos is a Divine but not an aedra, so it's not like a person has to be an ada to be a god.
But even if the coc really is 100% daedra, Sanguine can still party in Tamriel so it doesn't matter anyway. Martin prevented invasions, not tourism.
I miss
Who did Tiber mantle?
Lorkhan
I never said you were Daedra. I said you were Sheogorath. That guy said you can't be Sheogorath because you aren't Daedra, but obviously that isn't true because the game tells you, in no uncertain terms, that you are Sheogorath.
>I never said you were Daedra
Then why do you think Sheogorath being in Tamriel is a problem? Mortals are allowed in Tamriel.
people taking a tongue in cheek oblivion callback to during the mind of madness and using it as the foundational argument as to why the sheogorath in skyrim is the coc is an example of secondhand embarrassment they should use in fricking textbooks
Are you fricking moronic or did you not play Shivering Isles where Jyggalag literally tells CoC he's the new Prince of Madness at the end? There's no argument to be had because it's canon, literally.
It is canon that someone did it. It is not canon your character did it.
Learn to TES .
>Nerevarine defeated Dagoth Ur but Almalexia was killed by someone else
>LDB defeated Alduin but Miraak was killed by someone else
You don't know what you're talking about moron. DLC stories are all canon to the player character. What you're saying only applies to the side quests because having the Archmage of the Mages Guild going around leading the Dark Brotherhood is stupid.
Why couldn't somebody else have killed Alma? There is no reason in game or out preventing it.
Same with Mark.
Because them being nerevarine and LDB, respectively, are relevant to the plot?
>the entire story of tribunal is ayem shitting bricks because nerevar returned and shes trying to hog all god powers for herself in fear of him
>miraak literally cant be faced by anyone other than LDB because dragon shouts are the only thing that can break all-maker stones
Because Alma wanted to make the Nerevarine into a martyr, her plan hinged on the guy she sent on a fake mission being very important and famous.
Not sure what that proves. Are you saying Nerevarine is the only famous person?
sounds like you're just picking at technicalities, try harder
>You don't know what you're talking about moron. DLC stories are all canon to the player character. What you're saying only applies to the side quests because having the Archmage of the Mages Guild going around leading the Dark Brotherhood is stupid.
well ackshually that's canon too and is in fact the very reason all the guilds in skyrim are in such a shit sorry state because you became head of them all and then fricked off to the shivering isles without a word, leaving them leaderless and fricked
The Paradise segment was kino
>Coolest armor in the game
>Unobtainable
I hate that shit, and Oblivion pulled it twice (the Mythic Dawn bound armor, and the white Imperial guard armor)
I didn't even let them speak. After the mentioned being his kids, I just started swinging.
>Race: Altmer/Bosmer
Imagine being cursed with the inherent schizophrenia of a male Bosmer and the psychosis of an Altmer.
He's probably supposed to be just a bosmer in the lore but absolutely no one would take an Oblivion Bosmer seriously as a villain
It's more like he realised Bosmer were meme-tier and CHIM'd himself into an Altmer.
His Bosmer father literally conquered almost of all of western Tamriel though
Yeah yeah, Bosmer lore, we've heard it all before. Doesn't change the fact that they're a complete joke in-game, literal walking memes and joke characters like Fargoth and the Adoring Fan.
Adoring fan doesn't count since every single Oblivion NPC is a joke character to some degree
Bosmer girls are the best

>Actually the events of the main story of the DLC didn't happen
>You are the best Septim that's ever ruled. Well, except for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting...
>You know, I was there for that whole sordid affair. Marvelous time! Butterflies, blood, a fox, a servered head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for.
You need to learn to read.
Anon? He was there. Doesn't mean he was the CoC.
you're right anon it's just a complete and total coincidence that sheo, who was mantled by the hero of kvatch, is talking about how he was present during the events in which the character who experienced those events first hand mantled him. yep he was totally just there and this is not at all supposed to be calling attention to the fact that the last time we saw sheo he was mantled by the hero of kvatch.
Try to use your head, Anon, and stop taking things so literally. When you're a daedric prince, you do not have to be physically present to to say you were there. Think about literally any shrine quest. The princes are with you throughout each of them. Can you see them? Are they physically there? No, but they're damn well aware of what you're doing. Sheogorath is right there with you to start the false apocalypse, for instance.
I am using my head you clod, the entire point of my quotes are supposed to be a callback to the shivering islands, which was the last piece of TES media that was out before Skyrim. It's a cheeky reference to show that yes even after the big timeskip, Sheo is mantled by the hero. you aren't using your brain because you're choosing to ignore the extremely obvious you dipshit
>ad homins
I accept your concession.
>nooo don't insult me for thinking I'm smart for thinking Skyrim writing has nuance or ambiguity
you're the dumbest motherfricker in this thread
Slit your throat you moronic monkey people have literally sent emails to Bethesda where they have answered that YES Sheo in Skyrim is the protagonist of oblivion. Just have a nice day
> Dude trust me I have an email from Todd telling me I am right
No
Yes it has nothing to do with a cheeky 4th wall break from the daedric prince of madness.
THE DAWN IS BRE-OOF
Daedra are both the best and worst parts of the TES setting. I love how they just frick with people all day, but man I really wish we could go all JRPG on them and fricking kill their asses.
You can kill Daedra in every TES game though
Oh, forgive me. I mean Daedric Lords specifically. I want to kick Mehrunes Dagon in the balls.
You can do that in Battlespire
>tfw 32 years old now

>>tfw I will probably be over 40 by the time TES6 releases
Well I guess 80 is over 40.
Tamriel is Lorkhan's plane of Oblivion it all makes sense.
So the whole Aedra took part in the creation of reality while the daedra sat it out is wrong?
No. Aedra made Mundus and Daedra didn't, that's not being contested. The argument is that Mundus itself is fundamentally no different from Oblivion, Aedra and Daedra are all just et'Ada who happened to create different shit and the distinction means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
So did Lorkhan take part or is his realm Nirn? He is either part of the Earth bones or he isn't.
Lore is fricked up on that, he's supposed to be dead but also he sort of still lives on
He was torn apart at the Convention, the moons are the two halves of his body. His heart was thrown down to Nirn, and landed at Red Mountain, impregnating Nirn with his divine essence. So he's Nirn, now.
Tamriel is a continent. Not a planet.
Lore newbies are bound to get excited and make simple mistakes. There is a lot to learn.
Confusing Tamriel with Nirn is a whopper though.
A Whopper™ is a burger, not a mistake
>Kyne good
>Boethiah bad
I don't get it, they're the same shit.
You're thinking of Malacath, he was shit.
No I'm drawing parallels between both of them due to their similar roles in relation to Shor/Lorkhan.
If I was Sheo why didn't anyone who attacked me in the Shivering Isles get sent for a ride like I did?
Because you're crazy and let them attack you
Sheo let me attack him. If I was Sheo why can't I do the same thing?
Guess I wasn't Sheo after all.
>If I was Sheo why can't I do the same thing?
Cuz you don't know how. The other Sheo knew, but the you Sheo doesn't.
So am I Sheo or not? If I am Sheo I should know what he knows. It is my plane so if anyone atracks me I should be able to turn them into jack in the boxes or sweetrolls.
If I was Sheo I could. I couldn't.
>if I'm a noob at Sheogorathing then I'm not Sheogorath
Git gud
I forgot if you can do the SI before the main quest in Oblivion.
If you can I remember going to the Sheo shrine and getting special dialogue.
If you can do SI first does Dagon have a line about " Sheo what the frick are you doing bro?" when he fights Martin.
>" Sheo what the frick are you doing bro?"
Pulling an epic gamer move.
You are Sheo as far as the universe cares.
You'll learn to do the other shit later on.
So I am not Sheo. Good to know.
You're the only Sheo we've got
Buddy if you put on a Freddy Kreuger mask and start acting like Freddy Kreuger, you're a Freddy Kreuger, and some might think you're -the- Freddy Kreuger, but you're not -that- Freddy Kreuger. Mantling, as the main character does with Sheogorath, is you taking on the guise of an entity and acting as it. Jyggylag says you will "grow" into the position because, by acting as Sheogorath, you act like -that- Sheogorath while becoming -the- Sheogorath. You are both -a- Sheogorath, but -that- Sheogorath became Jyggylag.
That is dumb even accounting for TES metaphysics.
It's not dumb. YOU'RE dumb!
It's really not hard to understand. You become Sheogarath by imitating him until the universe itself doesn't distinguish between the two of you anymore. The universe in TES is a sentient entity unto itself.
"Walk like them until they walk like you."
I didn't imitate him in anyway though. I don't see any of the walk like them nonsense in SI.
You didn't play it then.
Shei was a dude that got bossed around and told to do jobs?
I missed that part.
The shivering isles main quests involves doing his bidding and completing his ambitions. This is what sets it in motion and why you are named as lord Sheogarath after the former one leaves. Obviously, while you're playing, you're still you. it's not until the decades and centuries after the game that the full transformation occurs.
You made his staff, his gatekeeper, commanded his troops, took control of his weather, summoned his butler, and you made a lot of crazy friends.
Hey remember in MGSV where Venom Snake is you, the Medic, pretending to be Big Boss? It's like that. You acted in the way you thought Big Boss would act in given situations. In Oblivion, after being told you're the new Mad God, you start acting in the way that you think Sheo would. Like using the console to kill everyone in the game, or raping argonians.
I like to think that the reason why TES4 is such an bizarre fairy tale land full of completely autistic and inhuman npc's is because we're viewing it through the eyes of an insane person.
Oblivion is like that because Talos reset Cyrodiil and the people within it were still in the beta phase. Some of the most important parts were up and running, but then there were other details Tamriel hadn't finished updating.
>Dark Brotherhood - become a crazed serial killer
>Figher's Guild - Drink tainted Hist sap and murder a village
>Mage's Guild - Get fricked with by Mannimarco
>Thief's Guild - Have to steal and frick with an Elder Scroll to frick with a Daedric artifact
>Main Quest - Descending into the realms of torment
>Divine Crusader - Mantle a crazed fragment of an even crazier god and go on an elf killing spree
Pretty obvious, the entire point of Oblivion was that the main character just straight up snapped, and had a mental break so hard they out crazied Sheogorath, making him step aside and say "It's your turn, son".
I like to think the CoC saved the world, then went on an elf killing spree while naked with a red diamond on his chest in blood, screaming that he was Pelinel, and was last seen swimming out into the ocean while babbling, never to be seen again.

ah shit
here we go again
so are the aedra and daedra the same kind of beings but the aedrea "sacrificed" themselves to become part of nirn?
Yes, most of them at least. The exception being Talos, who is usually counted among the aedra despite being theologically closer to a daedra, and also some fricked up human-ascendant amalgam that got retconned into reality rather than a proper creator god.
"sacrificed" is a loaded word, some probably got conned while others were ok with the consequences. Depends on who you ask.
Sort of. They were all et'Ada, and the defining thing about the aedra *is* that they sacrificed themselves for/got duped into making Mundus, but even before that point they were largely divided along Anuic/Padomaic lines. The Aedra were descended from Anu (stasis, order) and the Daedra from Padomay (change, chaos).
Lorkhan is Padomaic and the whole thing was his idea, but he's not usually counted as an Aedra/one of the Nine Divines the Empire worship, though he is worshipped by a bunch of pre-Imperial religions.
Yeah not many humans still worship Lorkhan apart from nords who call him Shor.
Aedra were a mixture of Anuic and Padomaic. The Magne-ge were purely Anuic
>forgets Meridia
A Magne-ge that was thrown out for consorting with Daedra? What about her?
She wasn't purely Anuic. No one is, not even Anu after the tussle with his bro.
>Aedra were a mixture of Anuic and Padomaic
What, really? Who was Padomaic?
Daedra were Padomaic
Right, so Aedra are Anuic.
Aedra are a mixture of Anuic and Padomaic.
Magne ge are pure Anuic.
Daedra are pure Padomaic.
It's not rocket science.
Apparently it is, since you forgot Meridia again
No I didn't. She's still pure Anuic. Not even the Daedra consider her one of their's, they even tried to throw her out.
She isn't pure Anuic.
Yes she is. Just because she was thrown out of Aetherius doesn't change her nature.
Her nature is what led to her actions that got her thrown out
The fact that she got in trouble for continuing to consort with daedra is proof enough that she was never purely anuic to begin with.
That's entirely your headcannon. The texts explicitly say that the Magne ge were fully Anuic in nature, with absolutely no Padomay in them.
She's no longer a Magne ge, she's a daedric prince.
Again, the Daedra don't even consider her a Daedra, they tried to throw her out, and she told them to frick off and made her own realm in Oblivion anyway. Just because her parents threw her out of the house doesn't change her DNA.
The texts are in universe faith. Mortals can be wrong. A purely anuic Meridia wouldn't do what she did.
What makes you think that?
If it changes, then it must be padomaic, even if only a little bit. All the et'ada were born from the flow between padomay and anu, they are all on a gradient between the two.
And yet the Magne ge are explicitly stated to be purely Anuic, and yet they changed their minds on helping with existence. If you want to get into Kirkbride's out of game texts, they're all associated with fleeting and temporary things, including yes, even belching. Meridia is the one that's associated with life, which is fleeting, short, and constantly changing.
Explicitly stated by the Annotated Annuad, a simplified summary of a myth. It isn't an authority on metaphysics.
>they're all associated with fleeting and temporary things, including yes, even belching.
Explain pls
Name a fricking Padomaic Aedra then
Malacath
They're all a mixture of Anuic and Padomaic. How many times am I going to have to repeat this?
post proofs
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Annotated_Anuad
>The blood of Padomay became the Daedra. The blood of Anu became the stars. The mingled blood of both became the Aedra (hence their capacity for good and evil, and their greater affinity for earthly affairs than the Daedra, who have no connection to Creation).
>actually has proofs
oh
oh well frick me then
Also I originally thought you were saying that the some Aedra were Padomaic and some were Anuic, I didn't know an individual et'Ada could literally be mixed
Unreliable narrator, next.
I am not in the metaphysics debate. It bores me. I am only discussing the Sheo thing. Be nice to the other anon. They aren't me.
The Annuad is accurate and even more as time goes on.
For it was written by REMAN himself
>The blood of Anu became the stars
The stars are the manga-ge. Meaning Meridia.
her nature changed when she got kicked out, she is a sullied prostitute now
>she is a sullied prostitute now
I mean everyone knows that
Headcanon needs no proof.
so does that mean Lorkhan is a gigachad?
He does have multiple wives like Kyne, Dibella and Mara and the good daedra oddly share parallels with his three wives.
Yeah, they were all spirits who were later categorized by mortals into groups like aedra and daedra.
If Auriel likes mer so much why did he choose Alessia?
Using the same facegen for mer faces and just making them long and tilting their eyes will never not be funny
reminder
how can he be a chad if he gets defeated?
even when he loses, he wins
If they initially didn't care about Mundus why do the DPs want to be worshiped by mortals (other than vanity that is)? Do they actually get more powerful by it?
They are fascinated by certain aspects of creation and are drawn to it. Some are vain, some are sympathetic to mortals, some want things Mundus has. Worshippers are convenient tools for them, like how Nocturnal gets security guards out of Nightingales, or how Hircine gets hunting hounds out of werewolves. Or how N'Gasta sold souls to Vile.
>some are sympathetic
Azura and uhh...
Boethiah to the Velothi. Meridia to the Ayleids. Malacath to the Orcs (and sometimes ogres). It's not they don't have ulterior motives in play, but they do intervene for mortals' benefit.
Isn't Malacath secretly fricking orcs over because he wants them to stay scorned?
He's leading them astray because he's blinded by his rage, not because he wants them to be pariahs. He isn't really concerned with who is or isn't an outcast, he and the orcs just happen to be outcasts. He thinks his sense of honor and strength are what keep the orcs alive, but it also keeps them from growing beyond barbarism.
>Stop, invincible Hero of Kvatch
What's up with the lore surrounding this guy?
I'm up to date with morrowind and skyrim lore, but what the frick is Lyg?
Sotha Sil was right
The Dragonborn is literally a shezarine, a prisoner and dragonborn at the same time.
its triple Black persondry at the same time
Malacath doesn't frick the orcs or his servants.
Even Boethiah keeps them in check because she knows how dangerous any cult of trinimac is for nirn.
Also Orc afterlife is literally something a draenor or azerothian orc would dream of.
>The Dragonborn is literally a shezarine
I remember that being strongly contested years ago
I need a QRD
Not him but the biggest one IIRC was being able to sit in Shor's throne.
The dragonborn is literally the will of Lorkhan and Akatosh, Lorkhan for giving hope for Men and Mer and being his avatar on mundus, and Akatosh for uniting the Dov back to their original purpose without alduin who became corrupted by his own instincts and greed, and inherit his soul and blesing.
Paarthunax is literally the will of Kyne, not only for him growing fondly of men but also for serving the will of the divines after all these years and overcoming his own instincts, even ol naarf spoke with him and this possibly led to his decision to serve Tiber Septim once the empire was born.
this is one of the hemaphrodite and troony trips MK regrets and dismisses along with pelinal being gay.
the fact that he was heavily involved with ESO Morrowind, Summerset and Clockwork DLC's to fix this issue kinda shows that he has influence at bethesda.
Malacath was vored by Boethiah and she did to him what giantess doujins do.
And yet he put Memory in C0DA.
The version I saw in morrowind didn't have a baby inside the abdomen. Was memory a retcon or was it part of the original concept art?
UESP has that picture as concept art and I took it from MKs tumblr that I think is now gone, so yes
>AI paints Boethiah as Aqua
I kekked inside for a moment
Sotha wanted to perfect Tamriel with his Clock Work city, didn't succeed and birthed a "daughter" Memory to help finish it in his stead. You can see him pregnant with her in this picture with Almalexia in full war gear ready to protect him.
>Almalexia in full war gear ready to protect him.

I think it has something to do with moneys dancing on the White-Gold Tower

Too many dragonbreaks

On which he considers non canon but a parallel timeline, and timelines are canon now.
I think amaranth is used to make everyones headcanon viable.
It is a riff on the BudHIST time has no begininng or end just a series of timelines creating a series of timelines creating a series of timelines ad infinitum.
Considering it non-canon and regretting it is not the same
Also to add more, Memory is 100% in ESO in the Sermon 37
>And Seht held his swollen belly to its name, clockmaker's daughter, swimming the dead confession along a century of thread, Naming her, uneaten, a golden cache of Veloth and Velothi, for where else would they know to go?
Where do you guys think 6 is going narratively?
Is the Empire-Dominion conflict actually happening? If it's Hammerfell is it going to be a story of trying to get the Redguards to ally with the Empire again or is that too similar to Skyrim?
thinking about where it SHOULD go just makes me angry and frustrated that it probably won't.
thinking about how it will probably go(the direnni tower being the center of a doomsday event) makes me feel nonplussed.
Direnni Tower is where it should go though, what do you think it should be instead?
direnni tower is ok as maybe the culmination of the greater conflict.
but the greater conflict should be the final man-mer war. the culmination of the thalmor's plans. it should show skyrim having broken free from the empire, in an alliance with hammerfell and maybe the both of them in talks with the empire for a temporary alliance as dominion aggression ramps up.
Deactivating the Towers is part of the Thalmor's plans, mang. Of course they're going to be central to the plot.
>Deactivating the Towers is part of the Thalmor's plans, mang.
fanfiction
they lack access to any other way to end reality.
having them just become some secret daedric cult would be boring and defeat the whole purpose of their goal.
the only other non-boring route would be for them to try to take the direnni tower so that they can try to dance atop it like the marukhati selective in an attempt to use tonal magic to destabilize the code of reality enough to break it and cause the godhead to awaken, ending all reality.
Them just wanting to wipe out humanity is alright to me
and they want to do that because they believe it's one part of ending lorkhan's creation. this is canon.
first they erase the man-turned-god, then they erase the men.
Nah, the tower shit is lame as frick, good thing it's literally just a headcanon that got far too popular
Much like in universe lore and beliefs, I think that Reddit theory is so popular and now that 99% of fans believe it to be canon, Bethesda will make it canon and it will retroactively always have been canon. This theory is mantling the lore of tes.
I hope Emil takes charge of it and just makes it unrecognizable from the fanfic version.

Is there a more shit on race in elder scrolls than bosmer? They have no relevance, no legendary historical character, NOTHING.
All the more reason why they should have let Kirkbride turn them into Evangelion Tang. It would have actually been interesting.
The Bretons are close. That is why Breton fans keep trying to steal Tiber. They don't like being the comic relief.
Bretons are NOT comic relief and if you say that again my entire knightly order WILL attack you and you BETTER BELIEVE we will try our hardest to reach your knees
>They have no relevance, no legendary historical character, NOTHING.
A Bosmer Dynasty's ascencion to power was what began the 1st era. The Camoran Usurper was also a bosmer, and he nearly conquered all of Western Tamriel.
Argonians are the one race that have absolutely not a single relevant historical figure in the lore.
The most famous character in TES history is Argonian.
sounds interesting anon, would you be willing to share your c0da with me
inb4 "Boa tarde amigo!"
Not all lore discussions are dry recitation of names and dates. Well not until the joyless fricks started showing up. They are souless automatons spewing wiki articles like a Morrowind NPC.
Because you asked for it.
now with song
Hue
Their tale has been known even before it was told the first time.
No spear in TES history is as well known as the one this hero deals with.
From Rieklings to Emperors all know this tale.
You know I speak of the Lusty Argonoan Maid.
Lifts-her-tail is a in-universe fictional character not a historical figure
The closest thing to a historical figure Argonians have was the one from the Gregory Keyes novel and the b***h from ESO who leads the super speshul Argonian army that made the alliance with the nords and dunmer, and even then no one in-universe knows or cares about them
I claimed the most famous character was Argonian. To which you replied they were an in un universe fictional CHARACTER ( emphasis mine)
I don't know what you were hoping to accomplish in dragging down an attempt at lighthearted discussion.
The new lore fans have no joy in this anymore. They take themselves way to seriously.
Because i specifically said i was talking about historical figures in the original post you actual fricking moron
To which I replied the most famous character was Argonian you joyless frick.
Why do you hate TES threads? What do you get out of shitting them up searching for your romainian White Whale ( a Moby Dick reference for the knuckle draggers)
The good news is you are getting older and will age out soon .
Are you autistic?
We're all autistic here, Anon. Even you.
where do you think you are?
Yes I am a high functioning autist. What is your excuse for being a joyless frick?
I now know why you have such affinity for the wiki article spewing souless NPCs from Morrowind. You are one yourself
Black person you are the one who brings TES threads down with your unbelievable moronation, show some fricking self awareness for once
You really believe that don't you?
Here is a challenge for you.
Next thread do not insult anyone who disagrees with you until they insult you.
You are the problem.
You are the who's suddenly sperging out over random people making posts you don't like you dumb shitter
Next thread don't insult anyone until they insult you . I am a mirror. If you are easant I will be pleasant. If you insult I will insult.
You are literally in charge of how the threads go.
You being wound too fricking tight is the problem you joyless frick.
Frick you
>joyless frick.
homie you're the one sperging the frick out and bringing up romanians because someone replied to you with elder scrolls lore in an elder scrolls lore thread
You two dating? Anon doesn't need a whiteknight.
They're too closed off in their bubble to have any impactful influence on the wider world. Would also say the same for khajiit.
Khajiit have Rahjin and Darloc Brae and arguably the Mane if he's really the same person reincarnated multiple times like the Khajiit believe, unlike Argonians they always had an actual civilization with trade and shit
Yeah but those people are only relevant in khajiit myth and dont have a lasting impact regarding the rest of tamriel
>and the child is always the mothers race
Achyually that's a retcon. Half breeds used to exist but Todd got lazy.
They make good femboys to frick
Why is TES lore so autistic? Is it actually good or just fever dream ramblings of fanbois desperately clinging to the hope that vidya could ever approach art?
Mainly the latter. The series itself approves of endless fanfiction and fan-defined truth. Most of the interesting stuff in the lore comes from the massive lore gaps in the game, where people try to connect the dots with weird shit and create a weird narrative. Bethesda hates the idea of alienating the dumber portion of their fanbase, everything has to be simple or the dummy might get scared and confused. They'll never put any genuinely cool shit in, they just leave room for it in the lore and don't refute players that say the cool shit is actually there.
To many cooks. The actual games, ESO, and the fanfics has turned it into a shitshow.
Stick to the geopolitics. The metaphysics nerds have no interest in it so won't corrupt it like the metaphysics.
Akatosh is lorkhan and I'm tired of pretending I don't know it.
You forgot to post this. Don't worry bro, I got your back.
>Implying Auri-el is just another prank
No
Auriel is an altmer tulpa projected over the true form of akatosh by force of belief in what amounts to a cultural alteration spell, read breathing water, it's all there I'm not a schizo, lorkhan tore his own heart out in the form of akatosh, in doing so committing the space of mundus to stasis as dead lorkhan while the time of mundus was allowed to remain in flux as akatosh time-space both think of the kynareth connection it's all in the numbers Auriel wasn't real until he was made in to having always been by dirty mer mass delusion/alteration/religion
Does any of that matter at all?
It means that altmer cannot be trusted.
When did Morrowind NPCs get internet access.?
The Nerevarine was Argonian
The Champion of Cyrodiil was a Khajiit
The Dragonborn was an Altmer
Nah
Nerevarine was a Nord
Dragonborn was a Dunmer
CoC was who gives a shit lol

>that mod where you get to rule mythic dawn and subvert imperial society and eventually take over
Cameron canonically has no legs.
>puts on magic pants
>yeah actually im le time travelling cyborg whitesnake now
Yeah okay uncle sheo
why cant he be both at the same time?
>KIRKBRIDE SAID
his work isn't canon moron, the entire reason he got shitcanned was because how he wanted elder scrolls lore to go didn't pan out with what Todd wanted
I'm literally telling you that Kirkbride was shut down because his headcanon would interfere with the player being pelinel
No, I said there were 6 timeloops, where the empire was radically different. In 1 timeline the empire was a space faring empire that sent a Terminator. In another it was an imperial. In the oblivion setting it allows pelinel to be anything.
Because sheogorath wasn't mantled (because that isn't how mantling works) and the entire greymarch event only started after the Player activated xedillian, the machine that changes an adventures perception of reality.
and I'm telling you pelinal being the player was probably some bullshit he made up in one of his drug fueled hazes, additionally bethesda change their minds all the time
the only thing canon we have is the games and they're pretty straightforward, you become sheogorath at the end of shivering isles
sheogorath in skyrim makes references to this in his voice lines
done and done, anything else is just pure copium
I'm not telling you again. It wasn't Kirkbride that said pelinel was the oblivion character. It was written by the actual Bethesda staff. Kirkbride only contributed a single page. I'm not quoting Kirkbride, I'm telling you factual information from the game, not his schizo blog
>from the game
nta but I'm gonna need a source
Sure lemme just write it down
Not only is there developer source but it's also in game.
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Song_of_Pelinal,_Book_I
>and he was Pelinal the Third, though whether this was because some said he was a god guiser, who had incarnated twice before already, or that, simpler, he was the third vision given to Perrif, anon Alessia, in her prayers of liberation before he walked among the quarters of rebellion, is unknown.
Oof already I'm corrected by my own information. He wasn't the 6th pelinel, he was the third, my bad.
>And then] Kyne granted Perrif another symbol, a diamond soaked red with the blood of elves, [whose] facets could [un-sector and form] into a man whose every angle could cut her jailers and a name: PELIN-EL [which is] "The Star-Made Knight" [and he] was arrayed in armor [from the future time].
Time travel
>And he walked into the jungles of Cyrod already killing
Remember those autists who spaz about how oblivion was supposed to be a jungle? That's because it was, in another timeloop. Pelinel came and changed that.
>he took it upon himself to slay the sorcerer-kings of the Ayleids in pre-arranged open combats rather than at war; Pelinal called out Haromir of Copper and Tea into a duel at the Tor, and ate his neck-veins while screaming praise to Reman, a name that no one knew yet.
And so forth. I could quote all 6 books but it would take multiple posts. The fact is, akatosh is the god of time, kvatch's patron deity is akatosh which you saved, granting you his undying favor. Martin became akatosh and you were the only mortal peasant to be trusted with the amulet. You're the only man to fulfill pelinels final duty and don his complete armor. The oblivion PC is also a legendary doomslayer who went into oblivion itself and slew armies of daemons. If anyone is pelinel it's the oblivion main character.
>That's because it was, in another timeloop. Pelinel came and changed that.
see fellas, this is why you can't take these people seriously, not only has he grossly misinterpreted an in game book but he doesn't even know the actual reason Cyrodill was made into a fantasy forest.
He's totally out of touch with the lore but has replied to a bunch of us, writing a wall proclaiming himself to be right.
Ridiculous.
there is no developer source that pelinal is intended to be the player other than kirkbride's schizo anectdotes so no, you are wrong and fat and probably trans too
>no my favourite dlc adventure is more canon the other dlc adventure!
Yeah nah only horse armour is canon
but you don't become pelinal in knights of the nine, pelinal, a clearly seperate guy cooms to you as a ghost and essentially tells you to just finish this one job for him and then frick off
and then you do
and then in shivering isles you literally canonically become sheogorath
at no point do you become pelinal
I agree and I think it's weird the other guy insists the hero of kvatch is mr whitesnake despite all the events depicted in said dlc.
The shivering isles is a demonic dimension of smoke and mirrors where everybody is a delusional schizo. Are you seriously arguing that everything that happened in there was real? Nobody leaves the shivering isles sane. Sheogorath lied to you the entire time. What proof do you have that Sheo told the truth. What proof do you have the Player became sheo besides a change weather spell
he's clearly just moronic, anybody who knows about pelinal also knows he's supposed "mirror" the player by being an insane genocide driven freak but it's not literal which is why he only shows up in game as a ghost
meanwhile sheogorath is canonically the oblivion pc because it's a nice and easy way to remove the oblivion pc from history so people don't have to ask how the empire could have possibly fallen to elves in skyrim
The pelinel you meet in the dlc is definitely not you, but you travel back in time and become the next pelinel. That's canon.
You never become sheogorath. The entire greymarch story only occurs after this quest
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:A_Better_Mousetrap
https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:Baiting_the_Trap
By activating the xedillian you essentially drug yourself and sheo let's you pretend you're a god.
And what happens when you "become the prince of madness"?
>A randomly change weather spell you can only activate once a day(which could also just make you think it's raining in your mind)
You can still be arrested by the golden saints and dark seducers lmao
You aren't sheogorath. You never mantled sheo. You never will mantl him. And that throwaway line in Skyrim by the real sheogorath about knowing Martin? We already know Martin was a daedra worshipers and spoke with multiple different daedra before the oblivion crises happened. The context didn't refer to the player's relationship with Martin.
Just accept you got duped by the god of trickery and madness and move on.
>yes I will discount an entire expansion and direct reference in a future game so that I can push my headcanon that's not even supported by my own in game evidence
incredible
I sourced my argument.
Here's Kirkbride literally confirming what I said.
https://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/2ahrz4/comment/cix1uae/
>The reason it was changed was a simple matter of keeping his sexuality ambiguous. Since the player was donning Pelinal's armor, completing a mission that he could not, in a sense becoming him, being so blunt about Pelinal's sexuality was too... definitive (?) in relation to the PC's own. Given the open nature of TES PCs, I felt that it was fine to keep it open to interpretation.
Stay mad, you will never be sheogorath
your source doesn't back up your claims moron
>kirkbride
not canon
ywnbaw etc etc
>Man who worked on oblivion isn't real source Shut up.
You will never be sheo
What is up with you sheoschizos. You homosexuals always just give up when sources start debunking the sheogorath bullshit because you just want to delusionally believe you become a daedric prince in oblivion.
Next you all start acting like passive aggressive trannies by samegayging replies but never actually making any arguments other than "shut up I want to believe stop posting proof".
I'll stop posting sources when you losers stop posting misinformation.
>book says literally fricking nothing
>SEE SEE??? THE EXPANSION IS CLEARLY A LIE
meds
I Figured you dipshit sheogays couldn't read.
looks like I have to break this out again
have a nice day
Never seen this before. I'm going to contact support myself and debunk this random tech guy. Because asking fricking tech support a lore question isn't a source moron.
Because here's what probably happened.
>Be a literal tech support drone who wasn't working at Bethesda when oblivion was being developed
>Get asked a question
>Check the wiki to confirm
>Just say "ya you're right :)"
>Support ticket closed
Nice try tho
turbo cope
There is actually someone whose job it is at Bethesda to be the "lore master" so all the tech support guy has to do is email him.
>sources start debunking the sheogorath bullshit
It's in the fricking game, the GAME literally tells you that you are Sheogorath
How much fricking clearer do you want it to be? Skyrim Sheo directly references the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood that he has literally zero stake in unless he was the CoC. Jygger calls you Sheogorath, the course of the expansion is you acting as an agent of Sheogorath so you can mantle him at the ending. Sheo as you knew him is now Jyggalag, you overtake the role of Sheogorath, the Prince of Madness.
What the frick do you people even gain trying to deny this?
stop derailing every tes thread you worthless no-life c**t.
I'm not going to ignore misinformation. The idea that the player in oblivion becomes sheogorath is fricking moronic and wrong. You're told a hundred times in game you'll go mad in the shivering isles.
And the knights of the nine best you over the head that you're the ONLY person who could be as close to pelinel as possible. And that akatosh the god of time directly intervenes in your fight with mehrunes dragon.
The fact that you keep going "NUH UH" every time is ridiculous. Then you stop replying and act like a passive aggressive troony by samegayging because you have no fricking information to back up your argument.
So I won't stop. Shut the frick up already.
>You're told a hundred times in game you'll go mad in the shivering isles.
No actually you are quite literally told by Haskill that you'll be "None the worse for wear"
and then you become Sheogorath which is an improvement
He only says that because madness is the default state of a shivering isles inhabitant.
wrong, he quite literally clarifies that you will be none the worse for wear "for your time spent here" meaning he is directly telling you that your time in the isles won't drive you to madness and you'll still be able to go back afterwards and play around
>Let me refute your in-game lore with my headcanon
I've posted in-game books, ingame quest descriptions and even a developers testimonial here
Sheogorath gays just samegay because they have no argument
Shivering isles is canon, the part where you think you become the prince of madness isn't. How can the prince of madness get arrested in his own realm.
>the part where you think you become the prince of madness isn't
It's not "think". It happens. It's brazenly explicit. It's the entire POINT of the DLC.
>How can the prince of madness get arrested in his own realm.
Because he is MAD
Post a quote where it says it's the point of the dlc. I backed my claims up.
>No the in-game book is wrong because...IT JUST IS
cope and seethe harder, you will never be sheogorath troony
>Bro the greymarch and grey knights happened! Just because they only showed up exactly when I turned on the xedillian is just a coincidence!!!
Cope, you're actually broken
I can't believe you idiots are this broken.
Um...other princes quite literally mention jyggalag so he's definitely real
Yes, jygalag is real, I didn't say he wasnt.
But they didn't make any mention that a mortal killed a true daedric god, or that a mortal assumed the position as daedric prince of madness.
The books says multiple times that pelinel came from the future. Player in oblivion is the only person to ever wear the complete armor set, and be deemed worthy by all 9 divine to be worthy of the title of pelinel whitestrake. And Martin becomes the god of time.
Put 2 and 2 together numbnuts
>it says pelinal came from the future
And?
>the armor pieces
Pelinal failed to don the full armor and beat Umaril. We did because we succeeded where he failed. He is not the player, that's why he ate shit
>The books says multiple times that pelinel came from the future.
Yes. It never says he was born in the third era. Did you never realize this? That a fricking android probably wasn't created in the third era?
There are 3 different pelinels and 3 different timelines and in the empire that was a space faring empire they sent the android.
No idiot it's the same Pelinal but mortoloids can't into time travel so they just assume it's a descendant or some shit
In kirkbrides headcanon pelinal comes from the actual far off distant future and is a literal robotic android and not a man. Remember kirkbride is the guy that wrote c0da. He's just an insane moron so even if his word was canon the player STILL wouldn't be Pelinal
>He's just an insane moron
He just likes mixing sci-fi and fantasy which is actually normal and happens all the time, e.g. Ultima, Final Fantasy, etc.
>it's normal
>lists the worst fantasy franchise ever conceived as his evidence
uhm....
He didn't mention Warcraft at any point though
Neither did I, we're talking about final fantasy, a shitty d&d ripoff that evolved into a terrible franchise
And i'm talking about Warcraft, a shitty Warhammer rip-off that evolved into the worst fantasy franchise around
that's not final fantasy though, and no mixing scifi with fantasy will never not be moronic
>BUT SPELLKAMMER CHUD
moronic
Warcraft has literal spaceships and space battles nowadays my guy, in addition to tanks and guns
Your book mentions nothing about the player being pelinal so I don't see why you're seething so hard
You posted a book that doesn't support your claim
>also forgetting books in tes can be wrong canonically LMAO
you posted kirkbdide fanfiction and you think this somehow disproves...an entire dlc?
>w-where's your evidence
The entire shivering isles dlc. Keep coping though
>Shivering isles is canon, the part where you think you become the prince of madness isn't.
>Everything about the expansion is canon besides the climax of the expansion that refutes my dumbass headcanon
no matter how much bullshit you spout it's not gonna magically make the shivering isles non canon
>The idea that the player in oblivion becomes sheogorath is fricking moronic and wrong
It's LITERALLY THE PLOT OF THE DLC. It's what the entire fricking plot of that narrative was leading to, it's what explicitly says happened, and skyrim heavily hints that this did actually occur and was not just some schizo way of driving the CoC insane.
>And the knights of the nine best you over the head that you're the ONLY person who could be as close to pelinel as possible.
This in no way contradicts the CoC becoming Sheogorath. Pelinal Whitestrake was a Shezzarine. Do you know what all Shezzarine have in common? THEY'RE ALL BUTTFRICK INSANE.
Ok so can you post an official quote that says the Point of the dlc is to become the prince of madness?
>skyrim heavily hints that this did actually occur
Sheogorath in Skyrim mentions he witnessed the events but all daedra were witnessing a Kaiju fight between a daedric prince and a divine god.
If the coc is sent back in time then their involvement with the future is gone. They aren't split into 2 people, one being pelinel and the other being sheogorath.
However it's truth that pelinel is mad, he frequently went into berserk mode and wouldn't stop unless the 8 divines intervened.
There's a passage in the songs of pelinel where it's disputed whether pelinel is a shezarine, neither confirming or denying it. Which makes it interesting.
But being sheogorath? Why doesn't anyone trust a god of insanity.
>Ok so can you post an official quote that says the Point of the dlc is to become the prince of madness?
This Realm is yours. Perhaps you will grow to your station. Fare thee well, Sheogorath, Prince of Madness
Oh wait, that part isn't canon
>Ok so can you post an official quote that says the Point of the dlc is to become the prince of madness?
"Enough! I am beaten. The Greymarch is ended. For millennia this drama has unfolded, and each time, I have conquered this land, only to be transformed back into that gibbering fool, Sheogorath. It was not always so. Once, I ruled this Realm, a world of perfect Order. My dominion expanded across the seas of Oblivion with each passing era. The other Princes, fearful of my power, cursed me with Madness, doomed me to live as Sheogorath, a broken soul reigning in a broken land. Once each era, I was allowed my true form, conquering this world anew. And each time I did, the curse was renewed, damning me to exist as Sheogorath. Now, though, you have ended the cycle. You now hold the mantle of madness, and Jyggalag is free to roam the voids of Oblivion once more. I will take my leave, and you will remain here, mortal. Mortal...? King? God? It seems uncertain. This Realm is yours. Perhaps you will grow to your station. Fare thee well, Sheogorath, Prince of Madness."
>Sheogorath in Skyrim mentions he witnessed the events but all daedra were witnessing a Kaiju fight between a daedric prince and a divine god.
He also mentions things that daedra in general wouldn't know about, like the passing of the mantle of the grey fox, Mathieu Bellamont's mother's severed head, and most importantly, "butterflies", both what the CoC saw when they first entered the shivering isles.
>If the coc is sent back in time
The CoC did not time travel. You aren't the pelinal whitestrake from the future, he's literally an android. Pelinal was created in the future, came back in time, and you mantled him, and then later became Sheogorath.
>There's a passage in the songs of pelinel where it's disputed whether pelinel is a shezarine, neither confirming or denying it.
First of all, the obvious implication of the book is that he is, but your beloved kirkbride confirmed it.
You showed up part way into this thread.
There have been 4 seperate pelinel whitestrakes.
The pelinel in the books was referred to as pelinel the third, for he was the third reincarnation.
In 1 timeline the empire was a space faring science fiction empire, and they sent a Terminator.
There pelinel we saw in oblivion was definitely not an android, but the third pelinel who was an imperial.
The fourth pelinel is the coc who can be a khajiit for all we know.
Mantling just didn't happen. You have nothing to prove mantling happened. You didn't grow into the prince of madness, how can you trust jygalag or the prince of madness?
You also keep thinking this is a Kirkbride fanfiction which it isn't. Again, you showed up halfway into the discussion and are ignoring the reply chain. Scroll up
>how can you trust jygalag or the prince of madness?
Because the Prince of Madness ceases to fricking exist when he transforms into Jyggalag, who has no reason to play tricks seeing as he is about order, then you whip his ass so badly he becomes his own deity again and then you fill the vacuum of Prince of Madness, which Jyggalag FRICKING TELLS YOU, therefore mantling Sheogorath, not to mention the entire DLC was grooming you into acting and thinking like Sheogorath.
And it's all a hallucination because of the xedillian
You're literally insane from being in the shivering isles. There are homeless NPCs who think they are kings.
And that's not how mantling works. You don't know how mantling works.
>it's all a dream bro because I said so
Is this really your "argument" lmao?
>Adventuring player turns on the machine that's labelled "I turn meddling adventurer's crazy"
>Crazy knights attack
>Sheogorath tells you it's up to YOU to save the realm! And that he's totally helpless!!
>After a long adventure where you learn the meaning of friendship and insanity you fight the big bad boss and save the day with the bad guy saying you're the king of the realm of insanity
> and your reward is a single spell that can be cast once a day that randomly changes the weather
>Btw you can still be arrested if you commit crimes against the shivering isles and her people
well now you're just baiting
>You have nothing to prove mantling happened.
Other than that everyone says it happened, that you gain power over the realm, and that Skyrim shows that this did indeed actually happen and wasn't just some schizo delusion
>You didn't grow into the prince of madness, how can you trust jygalag or the prince of madness?
>How can you trust the prince of all knowledge
LMAO
>You also keep thinking this is a Kirkbride fanfiction which it isn't.
First of all, yes he is, at least some of his work. But more importantly, none of his work outside the games does anything to suggest the CoC can't or didn't mantle sheogorath. Quite the opposite, in fact, since most of what we know about Shezzarine comes from his out-of-game works, and they paint shezzarines as being ideal candidates to mantle sheogorath.
Skyrim has sheogorath give a throwaway line that he knew Martin. Doesn't confirm anything.
Meanwhile the songs of pelinel directly mention pelinel was from the future.
In the end you believed a god of madness and trickery.
>Mantling just didn't happen. You have nothing to prove mantling happened
You know except for the game explicitly telling you that you've mantled sheogorath
Not only is the word "mantling" a completely fan made assumption, it isn't even used once in the entire game. It's a word that Kirkbride coined. But feel free to sift through dialogue to find me where you saw it.
I can save you the time and tell you it isn't in there.
When Talos was mantled it wasn't a "hey these 3 guys gradually became talos over a few centuries!"
Skip to 0:45. The YouTuber isn't me in case you're wondering
This is a quests where you activate a device that distorts an adventurers reality. Of you watch how it affects ordinary adventurer's you'll see that some think they are dead while others become obsessed with a single idea. It's a schizo device. And immediately after you finish the quest the grey knights attack.
How can you prove that jygalag wasn't a hallucination. It's the realm of madness. Everybody is insane. Every NPC is living in a delusional reality. That's what happens to the player character.
You sure you haven't spent too much time in the Shivering Isles yourself, champ?
I do indeed have a chip on my shoulder.
One of the first things you see is a group of in-over-their-heads weak willed "adventurers" get pounded into paste by the Gatekeeper, the last of which runs off screaming like a pansy.
They are just weak willed pussies that wandered into something they weren't ready for and went insane through your own meddling, almost like something that would contribute to mantling a certain someone.
You entire argument rests on Oblivion mechanics being fricky
Your entire argument is based on believing a guy who's sole enjoyment is fricking with people and making them insane
The guy who doesn't even exist anymore when you are told you are taking his place
Sheogorath created a guy who was fully sane but spoke in gibberish to everyone unless you owned a magic fork. He's most likely just hiding from you or making you imagine a pile of dogshit as the palace you think you're the king of. He's literally always trying to frick with you.
Except the Sheogorath of Skyrim makes explicit references to the concept of divine manteling and obscure details in Oblivion that wouldn't make sense if he wasn't the CoC since obviously the last dragonborn wouldn't know about them so it couldn't be to frick with them. Are you arguing that Skyrim Sheogorath is breaking the fourth wall to frick with us, the players, by making it look like he's the CoC when he actually isn't? Because if so, I think you're the one who's gone mad.
Sheogorath in Skyrim says nothing about mantling. None of the games mention mantling. Stop using that word when you don't know what it means.
Sheogorath sees everything that happens in his realm. It isn't obscure knowledge to bring up scraps of trivia of the COC's adventure.
>Sheogorath is breaking the fourth wall to frick with us
It's just a red herring reference. You're literally insane for thinking it's real.
>It's just a red herring reference. You're literally insane for thinking it's real.
Man, this schizophrenic conspiracy really runs deep
>Sheogorath in Skyrim says nothing about mantling.
He talks explicitly about handing down the "title" of Sheogorath from "me to myself". It could not be more on the nose. I'll use whatever word I want, gay.
>Sheogorath sees everything that happens in his realm.
Except other than the gate of butterflies, none of the stuff he brings up happened in his realm.
>It's just a red herring reference
So yeah. You literally are suggesting he's breaking the fourth wall. Lmao
So you're saying you are groomed into inflicting madness onto adventures, as is the place of the god of madness and then the real sheogorath (who we know is also jyggalag) disappears and begins his assault
thanks for confirming the player does in fact become sheogorath
No, you were filling in for a low level torturing position. Sheogorath made a giant pit and filled it with clowns/clouds to stop the greymarch. You were hardly groomed into being sheogorath by slaying knights
You were however, cleansed of all sin by going on the pilgrimage of pelinel, completing various tasks to prove your worth as pelinels heir, became the first to don pelinels armor and fulfill his unfinished duty.
And what's that? A book? That describes pelinel was a time traveling adventurer? And that Martin became the god of time?
Events add up to the coc being pelinel than he does being sheogorath
>The YouTuber isn't me
I don't fricking believe you.
>How can you prove that jygalag wasn't a hallucination.
Skyrim proves it wasn't.
>Skyrim has sheogorath give a throwaway line that he knew Martin.
No, it has dialogue related to very specific things that the CoC saw in Oblivion. Play the fricking game.
>Meanwhile the songs of pelinel directly mention pelinel was from the future.
Pelinel IS from the future. The CoC took up his mantle after he died. He doesn't become the pelinal who came back from the future, because that was a fricking android created in the 9th era.
What did theCoC see that no daedric Prince could possibly be aware of?
The most specific references would be the blood of Tiber Septim retrieved from Sancre Tor, severed head of Mathieu Bellamont's mother, encountered towards the tail end of the Dark Brotherhood questline in Oblivion. He also mentions explicitly that Sheogorath is actually a "family title", getting handed down from "me to myself every few thousand years".
>Pelinel IS from the future.
Yes
>The CoC took up his mantle after he died.
Not mantle, stop using that word. He donned the armor
> He doesn't become the pelinal who came back from the future,
There are 4 pelinels. You spoke to the 3rd one in oblivion as a ghost
>because that was a fricking android created in the 9th era.
No the one you spoke too was an imperial. The Android was from a different timeline.
>Not mantle, stop using that word. He donned the armor
The difference is less clean than you believe in elder scrolls.
>There are 4 pelinels.
You are fricking moronic. There are two, at most. The android from the future and the CoC, if you count them.
>No the one you spoke too was an imperial.
No he wasn't.

>he was Pelinal the Third, though whether this was because some said he was a god guiser, who had incarnated twice before already, or that, simpler, he was the third vision given to Perrif, anon Alessia, in her prayers of liberation before he walked among the quarters of rebellion, is unknown.
After counting the coc that makes it 4 pelinels.
>he was Pelinal the Third,
Yeah. You should be asking, the third what?
>anons keep replying to the schizo
>not knowing this is all an elaborate ruse and he is just RPing as sheogorath
y'all got shivering isle'd
you should see Pelinalgays, they're genuinely mentally ill and always shit up lore conversations
>whiteBlack person is wrong
>has a schizo breakdown
many such cases
>you're not the mad god you're just crazy and imagining everything
>oh but the knights of the nine quest definitely happens, a magic time travelling ghost and the nine divines themselves give you holy missions to emulate some guy who nobody ever heard of before then!
Damn this is starting to make sense.
what's extra funny is again, the reason all the guilds declined from the 200 years between oblivion and skyrim is because the hero of kvatch canonically completed all their quests and then fricked off to the SI leaving them leaderless
Lucienne Lachance's ghost even tells you to your face that the oblivion dark brotherhood quest happened. That and also sheogorath telling you to your face he was there
Nah that's not what happened.
yeah it was
You're just taking half facts and twisting them
We know the hero of kvatch disappeared. But nowhere does it state it was solely in the shivering isles
Lucien LaChance never mentions the hero of kvatch once. You can check the elder scrolls wiki for that.
Sheogorath mentions he knew Martin. But Martin told the hero of kvatch he worshipped and made deal with daedra before he became a priest of akatosh. So that sheogorath quote doesn't confirm anything.
Martin never mentions Sheogorath at all meanwhile Sheogorath says he was there when Martin turned into a dragon so....yeah frick off
One dlc takes place in a demonic dimension of madness with the sole purpose of turning you crazy.
The other DLC is about collecting a legendary heroes armor, proving your worth and completing a crusade. And it all comes with a book that directly states that the hero was an adventurer that came from the future.
Right but you're crazy so you can't take any events in kotn at face value can you?
>except except (cope cope cope)
even whitestrake's ghost doesn't know if he's dead or alive or if you're a dream or he's a dream you're moronic
What the frick are you even trying to say moron.
Why are you autists just ignoring facts and being petulant children over your headcanon?
>get btfo
>n-no you're all wrong not me
meds
>whitestrake man is a frogposter
whoa, i wonder what his political opinions are if they involve purging ~~*elves*~~
the neravarine is canonically also the hero of kvatch who is also canonically sheogorath
this must be the case because otherwise the player in skyrim wouldn't be able to acquire
>the mace of molag baal
>the ring of khajiiti
>the star of azura
he had to have left those behind otherwise they'd be unobtainable
