Agnostic Souls
What happens to souls
of agnostic men?
Who bow not to Divines,
nor Daedric whim?
And what becomes, of those
unbelieving,
who live their lives
outside Akatosh’ weaving?
One might say, for argument’s sake,
that the men vanish,
from Mundus’ wake.
Or else are somewhere, outside of
our Nirn,
outside of Aetherius,
or Oblivion’s burn.
What harm has become
of the men without gods,
who know neither faith,
nor the love of the large?
One may think
back to Red Mount,
and the fate of the Dwarves--
from Vivec’s account.
When Dwemer men
left this plane
for somewhere else
some eldritch domain.
And have since
not been seen,
And no soul nor god
knows where they’ve been.
The answer, one must surmise,
is, to the lover of gods,
no surprise--
those who bend not their knee,
to Arkey’s death,
nor Auriel’s fate,
not Akatosh’s time,
those who pray not to Azura’s light,
nor Bal’s desires,
or Peryite’s blight,
will fail, like all men out of gods’ love do,
and die alone.
