    Because Mannimarco clearly throws all the things into one pile here. I wonder, why he didn't add himself there too?))) Auri-El, the Shezzarines, the Tribunal and, it seems, Arctus too (and Mannimarco himself too, doesn't he?) share a kind of knowledge. It doesn't mean that they all have it from one place, and definitely doesn't mean that they are all same.

    Yeah, Thorien, I was alluding to another discussion that Phil and I had a while back about Ysgramor and the 500. It really doesn't impact my thinking one way or another. I don't mean that they are dragonborn companions, but it was discussed that they were perhaps representative of actual dragons. Could well be in a metaphorical sense. There is a lot of fogginess in the Merethic era. LOL, the Atmorans do a bunch of crap in not what I consider a huge amount of time. Lots of legends.

    Yes, the Atmorans, they are... kinda human analogue of Aldmer. They could as well be ancestors entombed in a big tower, but as that's not their way, their 'tombs' are songs and legends instead)))

    And all this together makes me think that there's actually no hate and no war between Lorkhan and Akatosh, they both know their places in the Creation. Kirkbride's words aside. I'm really confused as to how far and how deep Kirkbride thought the whole thing through.

    Deep. Too deep for here.

    Pity( I now see where the whole thing is coming from, and would like yo discuss it.

    Discussing it is fine but I think such a subject deserves its own dedicated discussion. Feel free to start one anytime

    Ah, no, I'm by no means a loremaster)) And my English barely allows people to understand me) Writing Lore articles requires more than that.

    Neither am I so c'mon. It needn't be an article or anything complicated, just a discussion to open the floor up to others for their input too. While we are engaged in our private debate there may be others who would like to join in but feel it is impolite to do so. By starting a dedicated discussion we are inviting them into the conversation should they wish to join.

    Whoa! Why would that be impolite? If it's so, I should go and punch myself in the face for all the discussions there I have added my unbidden opinion.

    I'm kinda afraid to start my own new discussion though tbh... It still requires good English, and I now read people's stories here with Google Translate...

    Maybe I am wrong. Normally I am reticent about joining a conversation of the kind we've been having as it seems quite personal. In fact, to others reading (if there were any) it may have appeared as though we were arguing

    Do not be concerned, your English is fine. Anything can be edited and tidied anyway. What a post from you will demonstrate is that the Lore Group is open to one and all. I hate scrolling through the discussions and seeing my name everywhere and it brings me joy to see other people discussing lore topics without me.

    Hmm, it could appear so)) I noticed, that all the discussions concerning Talos, Thalmor etc. tend to look that way))))

    Oh, well... I'll try to post something. Until now though, everything I ever posted were silly questions that seem to interest no one but me.

    Even if nobody else replies you know at least that Lissette and I will  But I don't think that will happen as it is a good subject everyone should have an opinion on.
