I have no clue if this is in your end guys but suddenly all tabs from the nexus site look like this to me. This shouldn't be a problem in my end since every other website i open looks normal. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Waterbreathing potion, you guys cling too much on real life and often forget Nirn is a world where people can craft potions that grant invisibility or waterbreathing, and that's leaving magic out of the subject.

The Aldmeri Dominion from ESO is different from this one, we don't know who's the leader of the Thalmor but whoever it is, he knows a great deal about the secrets behind Nirn and the mantling of Lorkhan done by the Talos's oversoul. Many people theorize it is an Old Ehlnofey that somehow managed to survive up until the 4th era.

Im afraid you'll never get a concrete answer because that is the point. This has been a problem of the Elder Scrolls franchise ever since Daggerfall came out: We cannot claim the Godhead exists with certainty because he's never been mentioned ingame or official sources. Everything is speculation and theorycrafting until Bethesda finally makes a mention in one of the games whether it be ingame books or a line of dialogue, etc... Until then, the unofficial texts of the Imperial Library are there to serve as source of answers for stuff that would otherwise have no explanation in the lore. Even if Michael Kirkbride is responsible of most of the metaphysics and lore, he's no longer working at Bethesda and therefore they're free to change or ignore whatever piece of lore they want, though they seem to respect most of his work since Heimskr's speech is part of Michael's text "The Many Headed Talos". Anu and Padomay as far as i know were born as polar opposites, think of them as the Yin and Yang, their interaction birthed Aurbis. And as for the CHIM and AMARANTH question: "Maybe" is the most logical answer since theoretically it could happen but we can't be sure until we're provided proof.

Depending on the sources the dream may come from Anu and Padomay (this is more or less the official canon version) or an entity known as the Godhead, the idea comes from Michael Kirkbride's texts from the Imperial Library. The Godhead is an entity and Aurbis is his dream, though it is universally acknowledged that he will never wake up because the history of the Elder Scrolls isn't meant to have an ending, it is a never ending cycle. The concept of CHIM revolves around the idea of the universe being a dream, to put it in simple terms: It is to realize you are inside of a dream, therefore you are nothing. But at the same time you actively manage to identify as separate entity inside that dream whilst also acknowledging being part of it. By reaching this conclusion you achieve a state of enlightenment, like having a lucid dream (This is why Vivec is considered to be one of the most powerful beings in the Elder Scrolls universe). On contrast to this is the idea of zero-summing: Confronting the idea of everything being a dream and realizing you are nothing, so you are erased from existence, this is believed to be the cause of the disappearance of the Dwemer. If you're interested in a more deep and developed explanation of this, googling "Elder Scrolls CHIM" or "Zero-sum" should do it.

The guards exaggerate the story, it's part of the suspension of disbelief. Ulfric himself claims that it wasn't his shout what killed Torygg, it was the sword piercing his chest. Ulfric was an apprentice of the Greybeards before he left to fight at the Great war, which means he had time to maybe master one or two shouts (but since he only uses unrelenting force lets assume its just one) but he chose to fight for his country over the Way of the Voice and he left High Hrothgar, it's only logical that the Greybeards wouldn't want to speak of him.

I'd say yes because that is Bethesda's way to tie up loose ends. Like how they did with Vivec, they just had him disappear.

Dark elves dumped the Empire and so did the Argonians.

Really doubt that, as he often frequents /teslore/

In defense of the posters, Bethesda doesn't really bother explaining these things because this is exactly what they wants us to do. Pretty much everything that isn't present ingame is open to interpretation.

That is just what the cult of the eight divines (the Alessian Pantheon) believes, whether it's true or not we cannot say (because that's the whole point, Bethesda loves unreliable narrators). First you have to understand that all Dragons (the Dragonborn and Akatosh included) are shards of a greater deity, the original god of time, known as Aka. And i quote from DovahOfTheNorth in the /teslore subreddit: "Before the Dawn Era, back when everything was raw creatia and Aetherius, the concept of Time manifested in only a singular spirit, Aka. When the Mundus was first constructed, time was not linear, which is why the period of conflict between the et'Ada was known as the War of Manifest Metaphor, because every spirit had every power at every moment and could freely alter or rewrite events to a narrative that fit them, again and again. During Convention, Aka killed Lorkhan, who is sometimes known as his mirror-twin, and forcibly imposed linear time on not only Convention, but all of Mundus as well. The stress of either killing his mirror-twin or imposing the linearity of time caused Aka to go insane, and his psyche quite literally shattered into countless fragments and shards. These fragments of Aka eventually manifested themselves into beings such as the Jills or the dragons we are more familiar with from Skyrim, with the larger/more powerful shards becoming the various Time Dragons/Spirits worshiped by the various races of Tamriel, such as Alduin, Akatosh, Auriel, Alkosh, etc." source https://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/6c29zf/whats_all_this_about_aka_being_insane/ Each shard represents a concept of time, Akatosh represents the beginning and continuity, and Alduin represents the end. It is a cicle that has repeated countless times in Mundus, it is known as a Kalpa, it is a period of time over which Mundus exists, at the end of a Kalpa, Alduin grows strong enough to eat everything (literally) and time resets back into the Dawn Era. So why is the Dragonborn - a small, tiny little shard of Aka - able to defeat Alduin the World eater? The cycle of Kalpas has repeated countless times in mundus. It is implied that during this Kalpa - the one we're playing on - Alduin is rebelling against his duty as the World Eater, he manifested before the End times and, while he is weak, he is still stronger than most mortals. He rallied the Dragons and gave them a purpose: to dominate over mortals, first in Akavir and then in Skyrim during the Merethic era, in defiance to Akatosh. Alduin calls himelf the "Firstborn of Akatosh" as a mockery to those who believe in Akatosh as an almighty deity. He overestimated his strength however, for he grows stronger the closer he is to the End times, and we - as in the 4th era - are still far away from it. The Dragonborn, as prophecized by the Elder Scrolls, was able to defeat Alduin's rebellion against the pantheon and against his very duty as the World Eater. We don't know about this however, because everything in the game makes us think Alduin will truly bring the end times, when in reality Alduin wants everything but that. This is because there's nothing that could've prevented us from walking away, after all: "Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." — Zurin Arctus. The short answer: Akatosh didn't send the Dragonborn to kill Alduin and the Dragons, the Elder Scrolls prophecized it, all he could do was point the way and give his blessings.

There's (almost) no canon, Bethesda doesn't try to establish canon, quite the opposite really. The ingame books contradict one another to build suspension of disbelief and lets the player decide which one is telling the truth. The most obvious exaple to this is The Arcturian Heresy, which tells us a very different point of view -in contrast to the rest of Skyrim- on how Talos came to be, it was written by the Underking himself. Another very important piece is the 36 lessons of Vivec, which introduce concepts like CHIM and the Godhead. After you've read those ingame books you'll probably ask yourself if those things are actually true, and the reality is: there's no concrete evidence that proves it, but there's also no evidence debunking it. Its kinda like a Conspiracy theory. I highly recommend you visit the /teslore subreddit, if you go to the FAQ there you'll be answered a lot of popular questions about The Elder Scrolls (Is Talos really a god? What is C0DA).

Thank you so much! I'll let you know if there's any error. You should also let blacksam know if you didn't already! Update: Everything works perfectly, thank you so much for this!

makes no difference to me, whichever is fine.

As far as i know, amidianborn models also affect vanilla bonemold, same goes with blacksam's dragonknight bonemold. The idea is to add a standalone bonemold armor with the dragonknight bonemold textures so we can kind of use it as a higher level tier for bonemold type armors, also because every redoran guard and reaver in solthsteim use it.
