sajuukkhar9000 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Huh? Paarthunax calls the dragons the children of Akatosh. How did the Alessians invent him?The Maruhkati Selective, a sect of the Alessian order, caused a Dragon Break in an attempt to tear the Elvish Arui-El from Akatosh, in doing so they inadvertently broke time itself, rewriting history by making it to where Akatosh always existed. Akatosh was invented by Alessia in 1E243, the the Maruhkati Selective made it to where he always existed. Alduin is Real, and He Ent AkatoshThe *ancient* Nords, the ones I was talking about, don't believe in Akatosh. Also, you are aware that book is a joke? Alduin is Akatosh, he is an aspect of Akatosh that the heavens tore from Aka. Edited December 27, 2012 by sajuukkhar9000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetenrisiel Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 @sajuukkhar9000Where did you get this info? I have heard of the dragon breaks but have found very little information on them. Also this is the first I've heard of akatosh being separate from auriel. Your information is interesting. If you could provide a link I would greatly appreciate it.

Lachdonin Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You'd have to spend a rather long period of time on The Imperial Library, going through the material which has been 'published' outside of the games. a lot of it involves random writings by Kirkbride. It can also be picked up on various, more lore related forums than this, such as the Bethesda forums. The cliffs notes, however, are that the various related 'gods' of mortals are each a fascet of the relaivent God. Auriel and Akatosh are the same god, viewed through very differant lenses, but because in the TES world Beleif = Existance, those fascets are themselves seperate entities. Its a layer of discontinuity between the nature of the divine and the understanding of mortals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could provide a link I would greatly appreciate it.Most of it comes from the books "Where were you when the Dragon Broke?" http://www.imperial-library.info/content/obscure-where-were-you-when-dragon-broke"1E1200-2208 The Dragon Break Scholar-priests of the Alessian Order tamper with the Dragon God of Time. A fanatical sect of the Alessian Order, the Maruhkati Selective, becomes frustrated by ancient Aldmeri traditions still present within the theological system of the Eight Divines. Specifically, they hated any admission that Akatosh, the Supreme Spirit, was indisputably also Auriel, the Elven High God. Newly invented rituals were utilized to disprove this theory, to no avail. Finally, the secret masters of the Maruhkati Selective channeled the Aurbis itself to mythically remove those aspects of the Dragon God they disapproved of. A staff or tower appeared before them. The secret masters danced on it until it writhed and trembled and spoke its protonymic. The tower split into eight pieces and Time broke. The non-linearity of the Dawn Era had returned. Tamriel slept through the disaster, which 'lasted one thousand and eight years', until the pieces of the tower came to rest on the mortal plane. Every culture on Tamriel remembers the Dragon Break in some fashion; to most it is a spiritual anguish that they cannot account for. Several texts survive this timeless period, all (unsurprisingly) conflicting with each other regarding events, people, and regions: wars are mentioned in some that never happen in another, the sun changes color depending on the witness, and the gods either walk among the mortals or they don't. Even the 'one thousand and eight years,' a number (some say arbitrarily) chosen by the Elder Council, is an unreliable measure. Whether or not the secret masters of the Maruhkati Selective were successful is unknown, and any records of their survival were destroyed by the War of Righteousness that ended the Alessian Order a hundred years later."
