esbenjddk Talos did infact ascend to become just like the Aedra. In ES Oblivion for example, one of the things required to open the portal to Mankar Cameron's world is the "Blood of the divine"(Blood from the Aedra). When you scrape off some of the blood from Talos's imperial armor, that blood, along with other artifacts, open the portal to Mankar Cameron's world. This is proof of his ascension. Also, in the knights of the nine quest, you require a blessing from each of the Aedra to defeat Umaril. The blast blessing that you get, comes from Talos and is known as the "blessing of Talos". It blesses you just like the other blessings of the Aedra and helps you to defeat Umaril. This is proof of his ascension. Everytime you pray at the shrine of an aedra, you get blessed. When you pray at the shrine of Talos, you also get a blessing. This is proof of his ascension. Akatosh made the condition that was that if the worship of the 8 is not upheld, the covenant will be broken. When the state religion became 9, the covenent was still in place. This suggests that the other Aedra recognised Talos as one of them and accepted the worship of the 9. Any great nord who proved himself in battle, goes to Sovnegard. Talos is a nord and was considered the greatest of nords, yet when he died, in ES Skyrim, he is not seen in Sovnegard. This suggests that he may have ascended to become something else. Remember, man and mer are related to the Ehlnofey, the faded decendants of the Aedra. These Ehlnofey walked Nirn and devolved further to eventually become Man and Mer. Talos had dragon blood making him closer to the Aedra than any man or mer was in his era. There are various theories as to how he ascended but the most plausible one is that when Talos fiddled with the Mantella which had a connection with the Heart of Lorkhan, he somehow managed to evolve back into an Ehlnofey then an Aedra. The dragon blood possibly helped in this ascension.

It is so strange, being affected with a sense of vexation whenever Aldmeris is mentioned as a mysterious continent that existed in the ancient past and might still exist somewhere in the present. All signs clearly point toward Aldmeris physically being Tamriel, and its paradise-like status in the cultural memories of mer as being representative of the time before the Ehlnofey wars, when the Aldmer/Old Ehlnofey lived among the Aedra. There are so many blind spots and inconsistencies in history which are cleared up by the idea that the High Elves came from ancient Tamriel and couldn't find it for hundreds or thousands of years after their voyage because they'd lost their way at sea.

Above all, you got the feeling that these were once great cities at the height of the power of the race, now nothing but empty shells that became the crypts and tombs for a once powerful people whose arrogance was their downfall, with ancient ghosts and spirits standing vigil over bones and dust..

The way i see it even if the Empire loose again the upcoming war and enslave Humanity or whatever, the other Mer races will probably rebel against them.

Good question. There was one quest in Oblivion where a High Elf sorceror turned himself into an Ayleid sorceror king, and it looked like he changed in physical features. I would think that that "might" be a good look at what they might have been like. Do notice though in Oblivion, that the Ayleid double-bladed axes bear a strong resemblance to the double-bladed glass axes in Skyrim, and Elven armor in Skyrim shows a strong resemblance to to Ayleid armor (most notably the light armor helmets that resemble the head of a bird of prey.)

So, no mention of their abuse of necromancy or their hordes of zombies? The sheer number of liches and tomb/ruins filled with undead that their empire created certainly shouldn't just be ignored. Oh, and give Pelinal his due reward. Dude is the best part of the Elder Scrolls lore.

The Hero of Kvatch. He is Sheogorath and Dadrea can't be killed.
@Xeper6169 жыл бұрын
Darkteen75 good point of view but the vestige has no soul and in return he can ressurect and this affects him even after he gets his soul back

But the dragon borns best fight was against a dragon, the hero of kvatch killed (well kinda) 2 deadric princes and the vestige killed one (kinda) and they both can't die so it's a tie

The Vestige The Dragonborn killed Alduin, the first son of Akatosh who is a god, on top of that defeated the race of dragons.

the white-gold tower wasn't built to rever the divines, it was built for the porpose of holding nirn together. the elves witnissed the construction of the adimantine tower and proceeded to build their own.

Though the Ayleids gave theirs a central Spire as the imago of Ada-mantia, the whole of the polydox resembled the Wheel, with eight lesser towers forming a ring around their primus. To dismiss this mythitecture as being a mockery of the Aurbis is to ignore an important point: this same "jest" gave White-Gold Tower a power over creatia unalike any on this plane(t). It was a triumph of sympathetic megafetish, and the Start of the [Threat! To! Empire!] that brings me to this Council.

The term "Aldmeris" is used as both the name of the ancient island southwest of Tamriel that the Aldmer are purported to have originally come from, & is also used as the name of the Language that they spoke. "Aldmer" translates to "Original Folk" in Aldmeris.

I decided to watch this again an I realized, that. How the Aylied’s empire fell was just like the Roman Empire only for a human empire almost just like the Roman Empire. Aylied’s were weakened by civil war and infighting, got invaded by Viking Norse type human invaders. A slave king/queen was a leader in the attack and aftermath even, after awhile the remnants of the Roman empire’s people were banished. Then someone else much less powerful than them in several aspects took over (IE the dark ages)

+Andrei B It would indeed. They did build the Imperial city to mimic Aetherius. Like literally it was built in the exact same pattern as Aetherius so they could attain divinity when the White Gold tower was complete. Sadly they screwed with men one too many times and... That would have been interesting to see.
@Phil0419610 жыл бұрын
All I'm saying is the fact that there are no solid records of what specifically happened combined with the fact that the Dwemer were so intelligent, to a point where one could even call them downright unpredictable, leaves the very real possibility that this is a very elaborate plan and/or illusion that could see their future return. The ES universe is pretty supernatural. Nothing's really impossible here...

Boethiah ate Trinimac and voided him. The followers of Boethiah and Trinimac rubbed the soil of Trinimac upon themselves and changed their skins.- The Anticipations
