I love the general vibe of "Oh god, more Kirkbride" in this podcast. That man's mind is basically a never ending acid trip, and his lore is the wackiest metaphysical mumbo jumbo I think I've ever heard. Love it.

[@snesguy9176]

Kirkbride is all I want for TES6. Just bring him back and give the man a buffet of psychedelics and let him write. 🤣

[@defeatstatistics7413]

didn't he write most of the 36 Lessons fucked up on mescalin and sleep deprivation?

[@MidoriOfTheShuinsen]

@@defeatstatistics7413 so the story goes. Personally, I think he became the new Sharmat, and everything he wrote is just the anti-dream.

[@neoqwerty]

@@defeatstatistics7413 I think it was a mental breakdown during his college finals, and it was LSD and alcohol over a two-week self-isolation timespan and he just emerged with the 36 Lessons and everyone else loved it, proofread it, and put it in as books.

[@zarnubiusbukowski7019]

"Dunmer Hist Slaves" refers to a Kirkbride post that claimed the playable argonians in Arena are dunmer that were altered by hist sap to be special agents for espionage Part of MK's expansion on hist and argonians is that injestion of hist sap will bind anyone's soul to the hist, not just saxhleel

[@dancincoolkid]

Is that canon?? I get so confused as to what MK made that was canon and what isn't...

[@zarnubiusbukowski7019]

@@dancincoolkid this is a.... complicated question. *Technically* anything he has written that does not show up in-game or is referenced in-game is non-canon, but a lot of what he's written paints the world very well, and is given strength by his background as one of TES's most important foundational writers. Personally I do accept most of his stuff, even the most outlandish; others tend to take issue with them because they seem to take it all as blanket factual and not understand that they can have in-universe backgrounds too. For example, his KINMUNE story calling Queen Ayrenn a robot from the future is ridiculous, you'd have to be stupid to take it as face value fact, so many people throw it out. However I take it as very much a part of the universe.....as a 2nd era anti-dominion conspiracy theory

[@neoqwerty]

@@zarnubiusbukowski7019 I like to apply Quantum Shroedinger's Lore to all of MK's stuff: it's straightforward canon in at least ONE universe, but it's up to you if it's straightforward canon to YOUR universe. MK's best gift to the TES community was C0DA: the personal validation that each of us can pick and choose what is and isn't canon and HOW it is and isn't canon means that there's a larger than usual amount of lenience creativity-wise and it even means that memey things like say a Dagothwave AU where Voryn Dagoth just makes vaporwave tunes in his basement is legit in some alternate Nirn. It also means that I can argue that KINMUNE is why Skyrim's 4e Thalmor are trying to tear spacetime's tapestry from the godly metaphysical loom it's being woven on kind of like a cosmic personification of a very bad therapy process that's just making Anu's trauma worse by tearing through his coping mechanism instead of teaching him a healthy coping alternative, and then dovetail into my theory that Sithis itself engineered Lorkhan, Nerevar, then the Nerevarine as a bid to create a new coping mechanism for Anu that endured so much that it just goes "ENOUGH! I'M TIRED OF PAIN AND HURTING AND BEING HURT, THIS CHANGES NOW."

[@nobodyimportant4778]

In simple terms, kirkbride is a contract worker and nothing stops him from referencing hidden lore he may have had in mind when he wrote for elder scrolls on jobs for bethesda, OR bullshitting, making things up on the spot and posing it as secrets.

Experiencing a Chim attempt would be akin to dreaming, realising you’re dreaming and then either waking up (zero summing) or staying asleep and beginning to lucid dream (Chim)

At 45:36, while they're talking about how Morrowind sorta caused a soft reboot of the lore, I suddenly realized that it'd actually be really fun to see them do a series on of just going through Daggerfall/pre Morrowind era lore and finding ways to reconcile it with the more modern lore. They seem like they have a good grasp of the topics and could do it, plus it'd be nice for some people like myself who just really don't know much about pre Morrowind era Elder Scrolls.

The Eye of Argonia is also probably a reference to "The Eye of Argon," an infamous novella often considered one of the world's worst pieces of fantasy fiction.

[@95Bartlett]

1:43:30 The best monkey truth I’ve seen: Ebonarm is said to be the enemy of every Daedric prince except Sheogorath, the reason why is because Ebonarm is the guardian/ protector of all warriors and Sheogorath can represent the PTSD that many warriors would experience as a result of war.

[@Wired_User]

Aww that’s kinda wholesome in a weird way

[@JoshSweetvale]

I'd like to think Ebonarm is a remnant of the previous Kalpa's Lorkhan/Talos. Reason he doesn't oppose Sheogorath: Oblivion.

[@notsae66]

I'm honestly fairly certain if anyone from reality was sent to TES, they would have a very good shot of instantly achieving CHIM without even really trying; just having the realization that you are in a fictional world, but you yourself are not fictional, would probably do it.

[@arempy5836]

[@MediumChungus223]

An aperture is a hole, so Vivec's "2nd Aperture" is probably referring to his anus, assuming it's a kirkbride thing. It adds up, with things being birthed from the 2nd aperture and outlawing piercing the 2nd aperture.

[@Wired_User]

Yeah that’s literally it. Baar Dau is a piece of Vivec’s metaphysical poop, and the Temple added “anal is bad” when Vivec finished writing His Sermons. They did the same with oral during the Pomegranate Banquet part of the Sermons

[@davidgasiorek4134]

On the "Eye of Argonia": there's an old (1970 IIRC), legendarily bad piece of fantasy writing out there titled "The Eye of Argon". Since it's earned itself some infamy in relevant circles, could be they were also referencing that.

I think the fact that the secrets of the Skaal aren't all that special is the point. It shows how the mad mind of Mora works; he doesn't care bout the content of their secrets, he merely cares about the fact that they know something that he doesn't. Hermaeus Mora collects knowledge, doesn't matter what kind or how useful...

1:33:39 is a reference to the kalpa and it is parthenax who mentions it when you're talking to him about killing aldoene he says something along the lines of, perhaps our world is the egg in which the next world rests would you stop the next world from being born?

[@eggsarny]

Drew gave us a ligma joke and a reference to returning to monke. This is why I love him

[@PaRaNiki_]

How about making a 36 part Series with each episode covering a lesson of vivec for about 40-60min?

[@PimsriYotube]

- On Secret of The Moons, the first thing that come to my mind is a from a khajiit myth. Fadomai gave Azurah 3 secrets as a gift before she died, and Azurah gave the first of the secret to the moons. - The Wolrd Egg; Paarthurnax haev a dialogue that goes something like “Perhaps this world is the egg of a new kalpa.” when he talk about how you wanting to stop Alduin is also stopping the next world from being born - The khajiit tower: so there’s this concept of the towerrs and how there are 8 of them, right? well here’s an idea; The whole race of khajiit is a 9th tower, and its stone is the mane. The Cat pile refer to when The mane decided the khajiit should go live on the moon. So he ordered khajiit to climb on top of each other, into a tall pile, until they reach the moon, until “The top cat, which is the bottom cat” grab the tail of the khajiit “who is below, which is on top” him, and “pull up, which is pull down” - lunar currency is the idea hat daedric prines uses mortal’s soul like a currency. The more follower they gained, the more soul energy they have as the mortal died and their souls goes to the daedra they worshipped. - I believed it’s pronounced Jubal Lun-Sul, and the Lun is like Luna, so: Jubal moon-star (Lun is moon, and sul/sol is the sun which is, in TES universe, the same as the star; a hole in aetherious)

[@littltheyjack]

I do want to put forward the idea that maybe, assuming whatever was done was in fact comparable to a nuclear bomb, by splitting the atoms with one’s sword, the “Yokuda sinking into the sea” story is just what the high ranking Yokudans told everyone else to force everyone to leave quickly and avoid people getting radiation sickness, and the violence and seeming desperation of the Warrior Waves were in fear that the radiation would follow them across the sea and that they’d doomed the world.

Woah, the Tsaesci Goa'uld theory is craaazy good. The Tsaesci are parasitic worms or snakes that "eat" their host and then "become" their host. Thus when they change host they "shed their skin". All of their shapeshifting would be them body-jacking a new host. I love that one. (Edit: Also, like the Goa'uld of Stargate, this would make them immortal as they live within the host until its natural death.)

About Amulet of Kings, I've got the full impression that Martin used his knowledge of daedric magic and drop of Lorkhan's blood to transform into a divine dragon. Almalexia already banished Mehrunes Dagon with Lorkhan's power once. And the very form of the dragon is simply the best expression for the Septim's dynasty.

I thought it was canon that he got posessed by Akatosh.

[@monfe5532]

I think "lorkhan's purposeful failure" is referring to him failing to achieve CHIM. Kirkbride made a forum post years ago answering questions about CHIM and the psijic endeavor. He said something about lorkhan failing to achieve CHIM on purpose so others would know how avoid the same fate. It on the imperial library and called "more on the psijic endeavor."

[@Aramithius]

Very late, but a few notes on things that could do with further clarification: - Creatia gets mentioned in the Nu-Mantia Intercept - Yes, Sithis is the book that claims the Aedra are bad. It uses that framework to present how the Nerevarine should deceive Dagoth Ur. - The line art of Skar is MK's own art, as far as I remember - Myth-echo - an imitation of something else in general, not sure it's related to kalpas as such. Like the Shezarrine is a myth-echo of Shezarr/Lorkhan - Talos ate all the dragons - Any dragons disappeared around Talos' time. Went into hiding at least, given Paarthurnax - Eye of Argonia - wasn't there a reference to that in the ESO Murkmire DLC? The amber that holds a tribe or something like that - Walking Ways - ways to "reach heaven by violence", not necessarily to godhood itself. The Ways aren't exactly codified - the Loveletter from the Fifth Era is taken as "the list", but I think that's wrong personally. It talks about CHIM and "the Endeavour" as different things, but there's an MK forum post that says that the Endeavour is a means of achieving CHIM. - Amaranth is not about replacing the godhead, it's the creation of a new universe. Not the replacement of the current one. - Twelve Worlds of Creation - compare the mashing of the Twelve Worlds by Anu with the creation of the world in the Redguard myth. I personally think the Twelve Worlds are previous kalpas. - Snow-Throat's stone actually IS supposed to be "the Cave", but that's possibly more a metaphor than an actual cave. Like Jung's Cave in psychoanalysis, or Plato's Cave in philosophy - Nirn as Jupiter - that's a possible reference to a pitch that MK and Kurt Kuhlmann made, that eventually became Morrowind. There was the idea of a game set around the moons of Jupiter, where plants and metal being really scarce, so the brass cannonballs that were shot by the spaceships all had names, and everyone ate bonemeal. There's a forum post somewhere explaining it, but that's all I remember. - University of Gwylim - they're the university behind the Antiquarians faction in ESO, where the Antiquities skills come from - YOU CAN'T USE KEENING TO ZERO SUM! Also, not necessarily linked to CHIM, in my opinion. The biggest text we have on Zero Sum gives no real mention of CHIM - Ruling King - someone who achieved a Walking Way, as well as the King who is overthrown by the Rebel in an enantiomorphic event. - PSJJJJ - It's in Vehk's Teaching. To reflect the impossibility of Anu doing something. - Second Aperture is literally someone's backside. The 36 Lessons claim Lie Rock is Vivec's turd. Consider what that means with regard to the practice of piercing the Second Aperture, which the sages "hide from Muatra"(= Vivec's penis) - Hurling Disc is a reference to dragon breaks. Referenced by the Marukhati as well as the 36 Lessons. If the world is a wheel with spokes for the Aedra etc, when the spokes are gone (=it becomes a disc), the rules of nature are broken. The Marukhati used it to manipulate Akatosh. - Lorkhan also possibly purposefully failed at CHIM, if you believe Vehk's Teachings text. - The Khajiit Tower is referenced in the Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi, that if the moons fall the Khajiit will climb on each others' shoulders to put the moons "back on their courses" - The Provisional House is also called "the space that is not a space", and other terms. It's basically Vivec's "thought-space", where ze goes in order to contemplate and attempt to achieve a form of enlightenment. A fourth-wall theory also has it as being the Construction Kit. - Dagoth Ur Endgame - Yes, it's about Dagoth Ur wanting to subsume everything. The phrase that I've seen to explain it is that if CHIM is I AM AND I ARE ALL WE, Dagoth Ur is aiming for I AM AND YOU ARE ALL ME. IceFireWarden/At-Hatoor wrote a great piece on it on /r/teslore, called Anti-CHIM: A theory and... something - The Enantiomorph is the idea of two opposites resolving. The Rebel overtaking the King, with the help of the Observer (who is often said to "resolve" the Enantiomorph). The Observer is maimed in the process. There are tons of these in the Elder Scrolls, most particularly TES3. - Vivec the Rebel overthrows Nerevar the King, and Alandro Sul the Observer is blinded. - Padomay the Rebel overthrows Nir the King, and Anu the Observer is crippled by grief - Lorkhan the King is overthrown by Akatosh the Rebel, aided by Trinimac the Observer who is later maimed by Boethiah - Dagoth Ur the King is overthrown by the Rebel Nerevarine, aided by the Observer Vivec, who later disappears - Mehrunes Dagon the King is defeated by the Rebel Martin, aided by the Observer the Champion of Cyrodiil, who later becomes Sheogorath (who is portrayed as blind) Sithis as the "secret lesson of Vivec" is the idea that Vivec wrote the book Sithis (the "go unto the Sharmat Dagoth Ur as a friend" book). The book also references the 36 Lessons. - Bendu Olo is also the "placeholder name" for every character in Bethesda promotional materials - Lunar currency is often taken by fans to be souls, because all of that stuff about spirits going to their aligned AE. - Mnemo-Li is implied to be a single entity in the Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes - There are indications that the Bosmer used to worship Hircine, before turning to Y'ffrre - Arniel Garne doesn't Zero Sum. It's also unlikely that the Dwemer did, in my opinion - the Abnegaurbic Creed is probably closer to Dwemer philosophy than anything. MK has described their philosophy as "the heroic abrogation of everything". Sounds like abnegation, anyway. - re joy snow... Cocaine is also called blow... - The Sharmat is potentially more than Dagoth Ur. It's the mythical enemy of the Dunmer people. I seem to remember that Kagrenac is called the "first blighter" and such, and I've heard arguments that Miraak qualifies as a Sharmat. - there's a suggestion in ESO that a "sword-stroke" sank Yokuda. The name Pankratosword isn't mentioned, though

[@HovektheArtist]

Time winds and unwinds in mysterious paths, like the shifting sands of the alik'r that brought a camel to a mysterious land of the scholars named fudge

[@avielharris1244]

Watching stuff like this almost makes me want to see them run through the lore of mods like vigilant. Always great to watch these.

I thought Parabolic Kalpa means that at the end of one era elves are on top, while in another era the men are the rulers

[@ferristhered1401]

Ah, my favourite part of every Sunday. And hi Camel! I've really enjoyed these iceberg episodes, and the collaborations. It's a fun spattering of deep lore (and memes).

[@asterozoan]

Gameshow idea: "Master of Muppets". Camel hosts. He asks the muppets Elder Scrolls questions to find out who is the ultimate lore-master among the 3 muppets.

[@momsaid]

Dagoth Ur’s end goal is the same as Ego from guardians 2 Nirn is pretty much the Universe as far as we know. So it’s reasonable that white gold could somehow end the calpa

[@JoshSweetvale]

Miraak and the Thalmor both copied _half_ of Dagoth's plan. The Thalmor wanna disassemble the -Dark Tower- Earthbones, and Miraak wants to control everyone's dreams. Dagoth wanted to mind-control everyone, _then_ take apart the Mundus. Far more practical.

[@Oannaybz]

My dream is to see another video where you guys, camelworks and zaric are together

[@anri2229]

Two things I've learned... I'd kill for an episode with Kirkbride. I'd kill for an episode about determinism.

[@JoshSweetvale]

I _hate_ determinism. Kirkbride constitutionally won't actually do anything useful.

[@kabutakahnds]

I like how 70% of this is just reading the theory title then being like "yea that's kirkbride stuff".

[@eggiii]

Ah yes! Thank you again! Can’t wait for more Skyrim lore!

[@StarlitSeafoam]

41:07 Myth-echo is a term that comes from the Song of Pelinal v6 "Still others, like Fifd of New Teed, say that beneath the Pelinal's star-armor was a chest that gaped open to show no heart, only a red rage shaped diamond-fashion, singing like a mindless dragon, and that this was proof that he was a *myth*- *echo* , and that where he trod were shapes of the first urging." UESP links it to the et'Ada, which is a really interesting idea that I kind of prefer over the idea that it's just another poetic description of mantling and Shezarines (in Pelinal's case an... Akatoshine??).

[@azadisoleil6319]

Hermeaus Mora has not only achieved CHIM but is trying to escape the dream change my mind

[@JoshSweetvale]

Hermaeus Mora doesn't care about escape. All he wants is to catalogue everything.

[@azadisoleil6319]

@@JoshSweetvale the unknown knowledge that could exist outside the dream must be a siren’s song that not even he can resist

[@shalimarfox9441]

This. This is beauty.

[@nobodie9996]

In this, there is symmetry.

[@Jamesfrf]

Super excited to see Camel joining my favorite Fudgemuppets in this podcast! Dream come true! Thank you guys for your hard work on this iceberg list, I really enjoyed listening to the four of you unravel it. I’m surprised no one zero summed in the process yet! There was mention at some point about Michael Kirkbride being a guest. Sounded like you guys were kidding, but hey, I can dream right? Wouldn’t that be the icing on the sweet roll....

[@pancakeboy8642]

the picture of vivec is me listening to this podcast. just trying to keep shit together in my heAd

[@jefthereaper]

Also, Septimus Signus did not Zero-Sum. A very important aspect most people seem to forget about Zero-Summing is that when it occurs, its not like simply "dying" You literally get deleted from the Dream, both in past, present and future. Every trace that you ever existed, anything you ever interacted with, anyone who knew you, will be rearranged and altered in the flow of time as if you never existed. Meaning if Septimus Signus never Zero-Summed, his books should be gone too, his ash pile should not be there, The Last Dragonborn should not be in the possession of any items he gave them (including the Elder Scroll, as Septimus helped you find it in the first place) And the cave where Septimus was, should also just be a regular, unremarkable ice rock, as he never carved it out to get to the Dwemer lockbox. Considering none of that happened, its save to say he just died due to Hermaeus Mora killing him. (as the last Dragonborn refused to kill Septimus as Hermaeus Mora asked) The same goes for Arniel Gane and the Dwemer, they did not Zero-Sum, as they clearly still exist within time (past) and have proof of it in the present. There are also Dwemer ghosts in Morrowind, and Arniel turns into a ghost, so there is some link there.

[@ethanreed9899]

You guys should get ESO on for the podcast. Great collab with camel btw.

[@adamthompson6669]

Been looking forward all week to more fudge muppet pod casts 😀 🤩 ❤️ and thanks team so good to us fans to get Camel on 🐪 🐪. As a fan this is pinnacle lore indulgence as I love both channels and re watch them. 🙏

[@KorhalKk]

Hist Supercomputer = But then the Hist-Jillian wars spilled out of a Wheelian rip into the SubSys slice of 'brane-space, and things changed for Kinmune. With the outer colonies separated from Nu-Mundelbright chronoculic sync-net anchors, maintenance of space-time beyond the F-Shores faltered. As the barely-there Hist blink-root-ship armada fired an artillery barrage of 16th-dimensional mathematics at their Jillian enemies, impossipoint detonations stippled across the Ix-Egg and its clutch-satellites like some garish TalOSian hologram, only without the irony. Were they ever supercomputers or they've become supercomputers in the far future with MK's help?

[@Vahmung]

Here is one for all 4 of you. Why is it that when go to a Dwemer home or sleeping quarters there is no art, pictures, music boxes, recordings etc.? When you Zero Sum does it actually erase your existence from Mundus? We know of only a few Dwemer names but those names are only remembered and shared with everyone through the tribunal gods. Food for thought.

[@JoshSweetvale]

Also the Last Dwemer. As for all the Dwemer going Arniel Gane at once: The Dwemer had a telepathic network like the Protoss. It's described as 'magic radio' in Chimvarmidium, the same book that implies the Dwemer were turned into the Numidium's outer skin. See also: Neon Genesis Evangelion's ending, transmitted at speed of thought. Yagrum survived because he was out in the Heavens and Hells.

[@simontheblind8417]

Somehow, hearing about these theories adds (even) more depth to the world for me, and makes new RP runs interesting even after so long a pause between games. Thanks much!

The boys don't even understand the Enantiomorph smh Edit: 2:02:50 the Je'dai Bendu Edit: Lunar Curency is the souls of mortals in the afterlife, collected and traded by Daedric Princes.

[@phoenixsixxrising]

So happy to see Camel guest spotting with you guys!

[@rokturi]

I'd really like to know peoples' watchtime of this video. For me i watched it in one sitting because this iceberg coverage is so interesting

[@parascopicvision]

I’m not too familiar with it, but I think The World Egg reference, at 1:33:00 has something to do with Falion and the Dwemer, at least that’s what I got from AllinAll’s video.

[@JoshSweetvale]

It's of course also something that Paarthurnax refers to, with regards to the cycle of world rebirth.

[@esper6119]

Oh, an interesting thing about Drew's comment on the clothes going with them when folks zero-sum -- people's (humans, but lacking any mer irl we'll just have to do lmao) minds genuinely treat tools as extensions of our bodies, and i mean, i kinda presume clothes are much the same, perhaps even moreso (albeit possibly in some kinda halfway-parallel way?), given how strongly clothing can reflect our selves and identities and so on of course, the counterpoint that it's funnier if the clothes stay behind is more or less unbeatable, so
