Questions of Lore., Ask anything! Options

[Black Hand]

Since we started discussing it in the Role-Playing Forum, the idea occurred to Elizabeth Hollow me to have a dedicated thread where any could go too to ask questions relating to Lore in general.

Now, I don't want this to be TES-exclusive as Bethesda has expanded their repertoire a bit, so I invite others who are indeed masters of their respective domains to jump in and answer the many subjects I will not be able too.

To keep it simple, I think a simple format of:

A.) Ask question.

B.)Loremaster quote question and answer, providing links if necessary as others may wish to learn of it in greater detail.

C.)Where it can be avoided, no needless quote pyramids. Okay, okay that's a personal thing...but still: So much quotations!! Though I understand, sometimes your on a phone and can't really do the detailed snipping.

Now these are only guidelines as I see it. Maybe you have a better idea, and should go with that.

Now, my 'expertise' is limited to the The Elder Scrolls Series, and despite my bragging, there are definitely maybe somethings I don't know, but may be able to point in the right direction.


Alright, lets light this candle! Who gets to ask the first question?

I'm with the Colonel on this, except that I'd suggest Jyggalag wasn't entirely out of place. He is Sheogorath, after all, and the Isles are his. But in that case, Sheogorath had done all he could to shift his powers to the mortal, precisely so that he couldn't destroy his own realm again. So in that case, it was Sheogorath defeating Jyggalag (or himself), via a temporary mortal wielder of the Prince's power. And since the Isles are attuned to the Sheogorath aspect until the Greymarch runs its course, and everything is ordered, he caught his Jyggalag aspect at its weakest.

Or, to put the same argument a different way, it was really Sheogorath versus Jyggalag, with the CoC tipping the balance.

"How can I be a Daedric Prince?"
"A fair question. You won't, really. At least I don't think so. But you'll have power. My power. Try not to lose it. It's a pain to replace."

Hircine may also be a special case. The possibility of failure is a necessary part of the hunt, and he'd restrict himself to make it "sporting", although I can't provide direct evidence that this was what happened.
