Dragonborn TRULY replaces Miraak

Hello!

 

I think it would be cool to modify the quest line of Dragonborn to make the ending of it a bit more immersive. Hermaeus Mora states that you are his new champion, yet, only rewards you with Miraak's items/souls and the ability to change perks. Would it not be more lore-friendly to literally replace Miraak in the sense that should you perish on the mortal plane, you return to the summit of Apocrypha where you discover Mora has rescued you from permanent Death (as he did with Miraak before during his rebellion when the dragon Priests defeated him).

 

This could go several ways of course, Miraak could decide you should somehow repay him before he releases you, or perhaps he simply allows you to teleport back to Solstheim via the black book at the summit. One could also be required to gather followers via manipulation much like Miraak did to return to Mundus. This could provide a really cool way to affect the world of Skyrim from a distance. It could be a matter of you "return" but only as a ghost of yourself (ethereal mode from the shout could be used) and convince others to read a black book, the animation used on Storn could be used where the black book sends tentacles into his body, this could be how your character returns to the real world, either assuming their body permanently or perhaps using the Vampire Lord transformation script to turn black, but instead of bursting forth as a vampire, replace the animation with your original body. This NPC would of course have to be non-essential. But affecting non-essentials could be a matter for your ethereal form (much Like Miraak did when he appears to take dragon souls). Luring and/or controlling an NPC to venture to a black book in order to posses their body and fully return would be awesome and provide a new level of immersion via the Dragonborn quest line.

 

What do you think?
