0:00

What are you doing?

0:02

I'll tell you what

0:04

you're doing. You're listening

0:07

to the Elder Scrolls.

0:09

LORCAST! Either you are,

0:11

or I'll be skipping

0:13

rope with your entries. Tata.

0:15

This is the Elder

0:17

Scrolls LORCAST. Your source

0:20

for LOR and so

0:22

much more. Adventurers,

0:24

welcome back to the Elder Scrolls

0:26

Lourcast. This is Tom and Lotus.

0:29

We're back to our regular usual

0:31

thing, and we're continuing our look

0:33

at things up in the sky, all

0:35

the craziness that's going on in space,

0:37

sort of, because... Sort of space. Sort

0:40

of space, because Elder Scrolls is weird,

0:42

and this is also super weird. Yeah,

0:44

we've talked about things like the sun

0:47

and the stars, a little bit about

0:49

unstars. A little bit about moons, a

0:51

little bit about constellations, planets, those kinds

0:53

of things. But there's more than just

0:56

that stuff up in the sky. So

0:58

we figured we would do a final

1:00

episode all about astrology and kind of

1:02

give you an overview of a little

1:04

bit of a overview of a little bit

1:07

more about those details, but then some of

1:09

the other stuff that we haven't covered

1:11

at all. Because there's a bunch

1:13

of weirdness and heck some of

1:15

the stuff up there's alive, maybe,

1:17

who knows? I'm good. This will

1:19

be a fun closing up of

1:22

this topic. I've enjoyed this is

1:24

this is definitely something that's permitted

1:26

the series from the very beginning

1:28

with the birth signs and constellations

1:30

and stuff like that. So this

1:32

is kind of our way of

1:34

concluding this little mini chapter that

1:36

we sometimes do with a topic

1:38

that spans more than one episode

1:40

otherwise we'd have like a three or

1:43

four hour episode. Right. Very true. Also,

1:45

very true. Also, we missed you last

1:47

week. I got to hang out with George

1:49

and we talked about like mods and stuff.

1:51

Yes, I was going to say. Let me

1:53

put it this way. I was moderately sick.

1:55

My poor wife was very sick. So trying

1:57

to juggle the little one was very calm.

2:00

not coughing on her and keeping

2:02

her healthy. So luckily, I got

2:04

to listen to the show between

2:06

you two, which is nice, different.

2:08

Yeah, it was fun. George was

2:10

always fun to talk to you

2:12

and he has a great dude.

2:14

All of this awesome insights. So

2:16

if you haven't checked out that

2:18

previous episode about our Skyrim paid

2:20

mods worth it yet, then go,

2:23

that's the previous episode before this

2:25

on the feeds. And if you

2:27

are confused about any of the

2:29

stuff that we kind of. very

2:31

briefly bring up this week. Those

2:33

are in previous episodes. So more

2:35

about the sun, more about the

2:37

constellations. In fact, that was like

2:39

two episodes ago, it was constellations.

2:41

So we're gonna go over all

2:43

that stuff a little bit, but

2:45

then dive in a little bit

2:47

more. So let's start. Let's start

2:49

with the sun. We've got the

2:51

sun, and the sun, and the

2:53

sun, and the seems to be

2:55

a big terror in the inside

2:57

of everything. And, you know, it

2:59

was created because there's a big

3:01

hole, but at least that's one

3:03

of the theories is that, what's

3:06

his face? What's his name? Magnus.

3:08

Magnus. Magnus. I saw Mundus and

3:10

then that filled in the blank

3:12

of where Magnus goes and my

3:14

brain goes and my brain was

3:16

like, it's a similar word. It's

3:18

very close. Yeah, Magnus leaves and

3:20

then leaves a hole and punches

3:22

through. It's really, I mean, this

3:24

is I guess going to only

3:26

go to only go to the

3:28

demographic that's pretty much. our age

3:30

I suppose so this might not

3:32

be a great reference for anybody

3:34

younger than that but if you're

3:36

a millennial I apparently this will

3:38

work but there was a thing

3:40

called a light bright and that's

3:42

all I think about with these

3:44

is it's this like device with

3:46

a light behind it and you

3:48

put this black paper over it

3:51

and you know these little like

3:53

sharp crystals that may have different

3:55

colors and stuff and you punch

3:57

them through the paper and you

3:59

get to see stuff and the

4:01

idea is to punch them in

4:03

certain ways that you can make

4:05

pictures and while we were talking

4:07

about constellations all I'm thinking now

4:09

is like this is a light

4:11

bright like we are essentially just

4:13

punching little holes in the sky

4:15

and allowing, you know, magic it

4:17

assigned to instead of light. Well,

4:19

coincidence, that was very popular in

4:21

the 80s, and the first Elder

4:23

Scrolls game didn't come out until

4:25

the early 90s, so maybe it

4:27

had an influence on the lore.

4:29

Maybe that's the source. That would

4:31

be incredible. It's the most roundabout

4:34

connection ever, but that's, it's funny.

4:36

Since the last episode. That was

4:38

basically what I was thinking. I

4:40

was like, you know what? I'm

4:42

just going to give the light

4:44

bright analogy because that's really what

4:46

goes through my mind when we're

4:48

talking about punching holes in the

4:50

sky in this. Right, right. And

4:52

Ross and Chat says, I still

4:54

have one in the back of

4:56

my closet. Thanks, Ross. That's amazing.

4:58

I love it when our live

5:00

listeners, chat men, with little details

5:02

like that. I was like, somebody

5:04

owns the light bright still, which

5:06

totally makes my day right day

5:08

right now. Adra-ish creatures, one of

5:10

the godlike creatures, Adra or Adra,

5:12

because they contributed to the building

5:14

of Mundus and all of that,

5:17

and Magnus did until all of

5:19

a sudden he didn't because he

5:21

noped out, so maybe sort of

5:23

an Adra, who knows? But he

5:25

also has different names according to

5:27

different cultures, like Di-beth, according to

5:29

Yukudin lore, Shole, according to the

5:31

dragons, and Vaka. And what do

5:33

you feel about Vaka? much more

5:35

intimidating than some of the other

5:37

ones. That sounds more like a

5:39

danger name. Yeah, so something you

5:41

slay in the battle spire. Right,

5:43

right. And so that's according to

5:45

their Gonians in their native language,

5:47

gel, which is another weird word.

5:49

Yeah, who knew? All sorts of

5:51

weird stuff. But even though it

5:53

seems to be a hole in

5:55

the sky, it also appears to

5:57

be an... object in an actual

5:59

object like the sun in real

6:02

life right and if you're wondering

6:04

you're like wait I mean you

6:06

guys are the lower guys how

6:08

come you don't know the stuff

6:10

and maybe you're new to lor

6:12

uh the elder school's lor is

6:14

like this you get a lot

6:16

of competing views about a thing

6:18

and no one of them necessarily

6:20

is more right than the other.

6:22

Some of them just have more

6:24

evidence. Yes, there is no omnipotent

6:26

narrator in this series. So a

6:28

lot of it is explaining and

6:30

analyzing the cultures that have their

6:32

perspective. And honestly, a lot of

6:34

it, what you interact with in

6:36

the games a lot of times.

6:38

And it's just like that's. You

6:40

do craft this series in a

6:42

lot of ways to be your

6:45

own, and it's just sort of

6:47

to your point. How much can

6:49

you provide evidence to what you're

6:51

explaining? Right, right. And sometimes counter

6:53

things... Right. And sometimes counter explanations

6:55

both appear in games at the

6:57

same time, which makes you go,

6:59

wait a minute, however these two

7:01

conflicting ideas true at the same

7:03

time. Right. Which one's propaganda? Which

7:05

one's real? Right. Are our experiences

7:07

canon due to or is our

7:09

character actually perceiving reality or does

7:11

reality fluctuate depending on how people

7:13

perceive it? So there's all those

7:15

questions. So if it seems like

7:17

there's any contradictory things as we

7:19

go through here, you're right, there

7:21

are. So if it sounds like

7:23

these contradictory things, yes. Yes, there

7:25

are. All right, so let's talk

7:27

about meteors. Meteors or shooting stars

7:30

are fragments of celestial matter that

7:32

fall from the sky. So pretty

7:34

similar to the real world. in

7:36

that case, they originate from a

7:38

theoreus, or at least this is

7:40

one of the main theories about

7:42

this. And because as we explained,

7:44

a the outreach of Mundus, it's

7:46

kind of like the outer, the

7:48

furthest out layer of this onion

7:50

that we're inside of. And meteors

7:52

containing ethereal fragments have also been

7:54

found, and they're known for their

7:56

strong magical properties. So ethereal being

7:58

the source of magic that relates

8:00

to the idea that. That's how

8:02

that seems to work, which means

8:04

maybe there's some maybe there's some

8:06

truth there. Yeah, a lot of

8:08

these things when they come from

8:10

a theory is into the realm

8:13

of, I don't know, for like,

8:15

the realm of play that we

8:17

deal with most of the time

8:19

in games. They tend to be

8:21

pretty magica infused. They carry with

8:23

it a lot of the stereotypical

8:25

mage aspects, a lot of magic,

8:27

and it's all usually coming from

8:29

above as weird as it is.

8:31

Right, right. And these kinds of

8:33

things show up in games too.

8:35

Like you'll find like. an object

8:37

and be like, oh, this thing's

8:39

riddled with extra magic power, maybe

8:41

it fell from the sky, you

8:43

know, like that kind of thing.

8:45

So here, let's move on to

8:47

moons. So moons are also astronomical

8:49

objects. They look kind of like

8:51

small planets, just like in our

8:53

world, where like the moon appears

8:56

to be a smallish round object

8:58

that is very planet-like, but it's

9:00

small in the moon because it

9:02

goes around the earth, right? But

9:04

it turns out that these may

9:06

also be realms of existence. They

9:08

may be infinite just like any

9:10

of the planets are. They might

9:12

be a separate plane of existence.

9:14

For example, in ESO DLC, we

9:16

actually travel to a moon and

9:18

it doesn't seem like a moon

9:20

like we would recognize. Certainly not.

9:22

And there are two main ones.

9:24

Now this is where things get

9:26

weird. Massar and Sakunda, the large

9:28

one and the small one. The

9:30

Kajit believe that there is a

9:32

third moon, the corpse of Lorkaj,

9:34

which is their name for Lorkan,

9:36

which only shows up every so

9:38

often or in special situations. Yeah.

9:41

So that's a little bit weird.

9:43

The Joan Light Path is a

9:45

mystical realm connected to Sakunda, described

9:47

as a place of stars and

9:49

moonlight. So let's talk about solar

9:51

eclipses, solar eclipses, which coincide as

9:53

vampire days occur multiple times during

9:55

the year and are specifically associated

9:57

with vampires, but also spirits and

9:59

the undead. So kind of in

10:01

our own culture, this idea of

10:03

like on a full moon, things

10:05

are a little bit spookier, a

10:07

little bit weirder or you know,

10:09

you, well, the newer ones are

10:11

a little less aggressive. with it,

10:13

but it was always like, you

10:15

know, full moons will cause you

10:17

to turn into a wear creature,

10:19

regardless of whether you have control

10:21

of it or not, whereas otherwise

10:24

you can control the transformation. So

10:26

it is very similar. properties to

10:28

kind of the mythical parallels we

10:30

have. Right, right. And similarly, eclipses

10:32

are seen to be signifying of

10:34

something. Traditionally, in many human cultures,

10:36

eclipses are supposed to be a

10:38

portent of bad things or a

10:40

portent of good things. Well, in

10:42

this case, they signify Akatosh losing

10:44

Akatosh's favor. Akatosh being the god

10:46

of time. And This can be

10:48

undone with prayer or time altering

10:50

magic. So in instances where an

10:52

eclipse happens, it seems like people

10:54

actually have the ability to influence

10:56

the eclipse and keep it from

10:58

happening. Which is interesting, because it's

11:00

one of those things that you

11:02

never really, not that you never

11:04

really, because you have the thing

11:06

where you can sort of black

11:09

out the stun in... in the

11:11

Donguard expansion in the skyroom. So

11:13

theoretically, I guess that would be

11:15

a little direct version of it.

11:17

But it does make me wonder

11:19

just sometimes because you have specific

11:21

situations where they'll Mary dominion convince

11:23

the Kajit that they returned to

11:25

the moon when one of them

11:27

was missing. And they don't exactly

11:29

have the same patterns that we

11:31

deal with in. Real life, I

11:33

mean granted we only have one

11:35

moon for Earth, but not too,

11:37

and a hidden one. Right, but

11:39

it's unpredictable. Oh, oh. Do we

11:41

have a hidden moon? If we

11:43

did, we wouldn't know, because it's

11:45

hidden. It's true. It's simple. We

11:47

got Lorcan just floating around back.

11:49

Yeah. But you get some weird

11:52

instances in the Elderschkoles between blood

11:54

moons and the moods disappearing at

11:56

certain points and stuff like that.

11:58

So it's definitely got an element.

12:00

of, I wouldn't say, living to

12:02

them, but there's more than just

12:04

a celestial pattern, it seems like.

12:06

Yes. And one of my favorite

12:08

mods ever, for Skyrim, replaced to

12:11

the moons with Todd Howard's face.

12:13

Beautiful. So I'm sure there's more

12:15

implications from that as well. Without

12:17

a doubt, because then Macho Man

12:19

just, you know, comes in blasting

12:21

from the side. Right. Macho Man,

12:23

the moon dragon shows up. Todd's

12:25

looking down from the sky, you

12:28

know. As you do, Thomas the

12:30

Tank Engine, you know, all that

12:32

stuff. Very canon. Yeah, very canon,

12:34

very canon. So prophetic nightmares also

12:36

can warn of incoming eclipses and

12:38

their supernatural effects. So this is

12:40

all connected to prophecy and magic

12:42

and those kinds of things. Children

12:45

born under eclipses have

12:47

heightened magical ability. We don't know why

12:49

that is, but it does seem to be

12:51

a thing. There's also this

12:53

interesting point here. Daedric armor

12:55

is said to be worked

12:58

on only at night avoiding

13:00

eclipses. Weird. Makes me want

13:02

to craft Daedric armor during

13:04

an eclipse. What happens? What

13:07

happens? Right? It turns out

13:09

it's not like it's like

13:11

not impressive. It's just super

13:13

brittle or something. It's just

13:15

lame. Right. It just doesn't

13:17

work so good. No, you

13:19

don't do because it's bad.

13:22

Like the armor just comes

13:24

out poor. It's like, oh,

13:26

what a depressing side effect.

13:28

Yeah, don't wander your grass

13:30

when it's already raining out.

13:32

It just makes it too wet.

13:34

Yeah. So we also talked about

13:37

the hidden. The hidden moon and

13:39

then Lorka Lorkon's body being part

13:41

of the hidden moon all of

13:43

that well There's also some weirdness

13:45

and this goes back to the

13:48

ESO thing the dragon Calgrontide attempted

13:50

to absorb Joe's core to became

13:52

a new moon and rival Akatosh

13:54

So didn't exactly take the place

13:57

of Lorkon to rival Akatosh although

13:59

there's definitely lure around utilizing say

14:01

Lorkan's hearts for the medium and

14:03

stuff like that. But it's a

14:05

similar kind of idea. Yeah, like

14:07

this idea of like, okay, well I'm

14:09

gonna absorb the core of Jode,

14:11

which is clearly not just a

14:13

big round object in the sky,

14:16

in order to then in some

14:18

ways gain enough power or potentially

14:20

even mantle somebody like Akatosh by

14:22

gaining that power. It's all weird, but

14:24

that was a thing. and yeah so

14:26

you stop it from happening so it

14:28

doesn't actually happen right so it seems

14:30

like what the result would have been

14:32

right it seems like it maybe could

14:34

have or at least they believed it

14:36

could have so that's crazy so yeah

14:38

moons are crazy planets are basically the

14:40

realms and maybe also the bodies of

14:43

the aedra floating around up there in

14:45

the sky they are infinite in size

14:47

but they look like round orbs floating

14:49

in the sky so that's weird now

14:51

There's we've talked about planets before

14:53

so we're gonna go this through

14:55

this pretty quick We don't need

14:57

to cover all of that stuff.

14:59

Yeah, a lot of this we've

15:01

covered before right But this is

15:03

an instance is this little detail

15:05

is interesting the largest shooting stars

15:07

are actually planets with independent orbits

15:09

One of the most well-known is

15:12

the rogue planet Bandar The

15:14

bandit God this is like

15:16

the trickster spirit god of

15:18

the Kajit culture who is

15:20

floating around almost like a

15:22

planet, but not really, but

15:24

yes, it still is. But

15:26

isn't an aedra, is a

15:28

trickster god? Like, what, how

15:30

does that work? It's a thing.

15:32

There you go. Any thoughts on

15:34

Bandar? No, I mean, I

15:36

do find it funny that

15:39

anything related to the Bandit God,

15:41

it's just, he's... permeates so much of

15:43

the lore from this stuff and it's

15:45

like I love it. It's a very

15:47

good cheat thing too. I know it's

15:49

a very good cheat stereotype. But not

15:51

just a stereotype, this idea that like

15:54

this is an influential enough cosmic being

15:56

of some sort that it actually is

15:58

something that they very much Well, this

16:00

is the thing. It's such a like,

16:02

oh, you know, because you have the

16:04

thievery, like, aspect to their existence, but

16:07

it's funny because to your

16:09

point, they have literal gods

16:11

designed around it. Like, yeah.

16:13

So, so it's really just

16:15

super influential, even to the

16:17

point of planets being like

16:19

influenced by like. Thievery, which is

16:22

just a strange concept. Right. A

16:24

lot of the Asia are connected

16:26

to some foundational aspect of like

16:29

nature, human nature, those kinds of

16:31

things. But like, this is like,

16:33

thievery, which seems like, I guess

16:36

that's a foundational concept for Kajit.

16:38

Yeah. So you got that. Also, you

16:40

might be wondering, are there people

16:42

on planets? Like, if these are

16:44

actual realms of some sort, and

16:47

we also know that there are

16:49

realms of oblivion, and there are...

16:51

people in oblivion, whether they're, you

16:53

know, any of the braces from,

16:55

you know, Nern or Dadera

16:57

or whatever, then maybe there's

17:00

people on these planets.

17:02

But according to most scholars,

17:04

across Tamriel that there aren't actually

17:06

people on the planets. This is

17:08

not a... Just slowed, no. It's

17:11

only slowed and drag, no. That

17:13

is a lie. But I don't

17:15

know that we actually have any

17:17

real evidence for that. It's just

17:20

kind of like generally assumed thing.

17:22

Yeah, there's no indication of life,

17:24

so as a result you don't

17:27

assume life unless kind of showed

17:29

otherwise would be the situation. You

17:31

don't need to assume something is

17:33

there until something is proven to

17:35

possibly be there. Right, right. But

17:37

it also does seem a little

17:39

bit weird that you can have

17:41

realms of oblivion that have leaving

17:43

creatures in them. They're just, yeah,

17:45

how are these planets just chilling?

17:47

Yeah, how are these planets that

17:49

different than other realms like oblivion?

17:51

infinite, infinite, infinite existence, but nothing's

17:53

there. Yeah, yeah. All right, so

17:55

let's, we already talked about stars,

17:57

stars, stars or like this poking.

18:00

hole in the sky. It may

18:02

have been aspects of, his name

18:04

fell out of my head again.

18:06

Not Mundus. Oh, Magnus. Magnus. You

18:08

know, aspects of Magnus that broke

18:10

off became these other deities that

18:12

also put holes in the sky

18:14

or whatever. His name broke off,

18:16

which is why we're struggling with

18:18

it. She's breaking out of my

18:21

brain. But also, there are unstars.

18:23

And you and I have speculated

18:25

about unstars. And the general... understanding

18:27

of unstars is that they resemble

18:29

stars, but they move across the

18:31

sky in a different pattern than

18:33

the other, the regular stars, which

18:35

all kind of stay together, just

18:37

like in our own sky. But

18:40

they do not admit varlions. We've

18:42

talked about this before as well.

18:44

That's magical energy. So the way

18:46

that regular stars work is they

18:48

are poles to a theory as

18:50

supposedly, and They emit magical energy

18:52

because that's where magic comes from.

18:54

But unstars don't do that. They

18:56

still emit light, but its nature

18:59

and effect on mortals is uncertain.

19:01

So there's kind of some speculation

19:03

around that and weirdness. There is

19:05

the serpent constellation, which is consistent

19:07

of four unstars. And we talked

19:09

about that on previous episode. It

19:11

seems to travel however it wants.

19:13

It's very weird. It's almost consistently

19:15

inconsistent. That's really its only consistency

19:17

is how inconsistent it is, which

19:20

is a weird concept in and

19:22

of itself. Right. But even though

19:24

it's inconsistent, some people are able

19:26

to forecast where it is, and

19:28

it never coincides with the part

19:30

of the sky that the sun

19:32

is in. Right, exactly. So weird.

19:34

That's just it. It's just like,

19:36

oh, okay? Yeah, the Unstars. That's

19:39

a good name for a band,

19:41

Russ. Russ, says, the Unstars. absorb

19:43

more magica when there is less

19:45

than the average amount or the

19:47

opposite that there is more magica.

19:49

I actually kind of like that

19:51

I saw that in chat that's

19:53

actually kind of a cool idea

19:55

with the eclipse being like restricting

19:58

the amount of magica that's flowing

20:00

through so it's like okay so

20:02

is the person natural inclination to

20:04

struggle harder to get it like

20:06

oh yeah no because it's you

20:08

don't have the normal flow so

20:10

that extra effort when you're born

20:12

essentially or a child okay does

20:14

that mean you basically put in

20:17

the work early so now you're

20:19

really adept at it so then

20:21

once the eclipse is gone and

20:23

you have full access well you

20:25

were able to really pull in

20:27

magic a much easier now because

20:29

you were basically trained when you

20:31

were forming And it was so

20:33

restrictive. It's kind of, I like

20:35

that idea. I've never heard that?

20:38

Yeah. I like that. That's pretty

20:40

neat. If you extrapolate that a

20:42

little bit more, both there's two

20:44

kinds of eclipses. There's a solar

20:46

eclipse where the moon goes in

20:48

front of the sun and blocks

20:50

out the sun. Then there's a

20:52

lunar eclipse where the shadow of

20:54

the earth covers the moon from

20:57

the sun. In both cases there

20:59

will be less light. Exactly. doesn't

21:01

come through or the reflection of

21:03

the sun is blocked from the

21:05

moon due to the shadow of

21:07

the earth which means in both

21:09

cases there's less light so you're

21:11

restricting light or in this case

21:13

you're restricting magical flow so it's

21:16

like are you big it's like

21:18

the idea of like training in

21:20

high altitudes so that when you

21:22

go to a lower altitude it's

21:24

actually very easy to breathe yeah

21:26

it's that type of thing it's

21:28

like oh yeah no it's essentially

21:30

training in restricted magica. So once

21:32

I have access to full magica,

21:34

man, I can just scoop it

21:37

all up. So it's like, I,

21:39

again, I've never heard that before,

21:41

but I kind of like that

21:43

theory. That's, that's interesting. Who knows?

21:45

Who knows? A lot of this

21:47

stuff is very interpretable. So that,

21:49

maybe that actually tracks. But here,

21:51

there's other objects that have to

21:53

do with the sky or in

21:56

the sky also beyond just the

21:58

things that we've talked about. What

22:00

about aurora? This is another thing

22:02

that happens in our own world.

22:04

You tend to get closer to

22:06

the poles and you can see

22:08

those colors whipping around in the

22:10

sky. And the reason that happens

22:12

is due to the stuff coming

22:15

from the sun and hitting the

22:17

magnetic field of the earth at

22:19

weird angles and creating. lights in

22:21

the sky. We won't get into

22:23

all the science of it. But

22:25

this does actually happen in, in,

22:27

to Mundus also. Mundus is weird

22:29

though because it's not like the

22:31

planet Earth. So what exactly is

22:34

an aurora? Well, these are similar

22:36

in that they are vivid ribbons

22:38

of light. They appear when the

22:40

skies are clear and they can

22:42

be seen in oblivion and a

22:44

furious. Which is weird, right? Like,

22:46

these are not planets that have

22:48

magnetic fields. These are different realms.

22:50

I want to, in terms of

22:52

being super reductive, I want to

22:55

just say replace magnetic field from

22:57

real life with magic fields. They're

22:59

scrolled. And you're essentially like, okay,

23:01

well. It looks magic in real

23:03

life, but it can be explained

23:05

because of again, refracting lights and

23:07

stuff with the angle of the

23:09

planet and you have magnetic poles

23:11

that we have on our planet

23:14

and we have literal magic in

23:16

the Elsie. That's an interesting question.

23:18

Do you think, have we ever

23:20

seen a compass, a magnetic compass

23:22

in an elder scrolls game? Well,

23:24

that's a good point. I mean,

23:26

because we see... We have a

23:28

compass on our hoods, but I

23:30

wonder if they'd ever mention their

23:33

magnetic. Right. Like are there poles?

23:35

I don't know that we know

23:37

that there are poles. We know

23:39

that there's a north and south

23:41

information. I don't know that that's

23:43

something. Yeah, we don't know that

23:45

we, I don't think we know

23:47

that. Anyway, if you know more

23:49

about that than we do. Well,

23:51

this is just. Just hit me

23:54

off the top of my head

23:56

now. I wish I had thought

23:58

about it earlier when I was

24:00

putting the notes together. Yeah, magic

24:02

magic. So all right, so let's

24:04

talk about the blood moon. So

24:06

a blood moon occurs when her

24:08

scene's great hunt takes place on

24:10

Nern. So good old her scene,

24:13

the Daedric Prince of the hunt.

24:15

During this event, it turns a

24:17

deep red becoming the blood moon.

24:19

Notice it's also a secunda again.

24:21

This is not mass art. It's

24:23

the second moon, it's the smaller

24:25

one. The hunt ends when the

24:27

blood moon disappears. So it's kind

24:29

of like a time limit for

24:32

when the hunt begins and when

24:34

it ends. It's considered a call

24:36

to the chase and her scene's

24:38

hunting ground. The blood moon is

24:40

a constant phenomenon due to the

24:42

ongoing great hunts. But you would

24:44

have to assume that That version

24:46

of a blood moon isn't the

24:48

same perspective on Secunda because Secunda

24:50

is not in the Daedic realm

24:53

of her scene's Daedic realm, right?

24:55

Right. So it must be, it

24:57

must look like a blood moon,

24:59

but yet isn't the same exact

25:01

thing as what happens on Nern.

25:03

So weird. A little bit, and

25:05

I've fallen down the... The magnetic

25:07

north You're doing the whole of

25:09

he's doing the research. All right,

25:12

I'm going to close that window

25:14

because that is apparently a hot

25:16

debate Wow, all right, who knew?

25:18

Yeah, we are not the first

25:20

people to ask that or pose

25:22

that there is an answer or

25:24

not. So, all right, so let's

25:26

close that window for now. It's

25:28

many pages. Let's talk a little

25:31

bit more about eclipses, right? We

25:33

kind of opened up that door,

25:35

let's go into this. Eclipses occur

25:37

when one celestial body is obscured

25:39

by another, often due to one

25:41

passing between the body and or

25:43

in sky, right? Like I explained

25:45

this to you for a second

25:47

ago. A solar eclipse and Tamrail,

25:50

known as also known as vampire

25:52

days, That sounds like an amusement

25:54

park or something like a promotion.

25:56

Vampire days. Vampire days. Vampire days.

25:58

Halloween. Yeah, you know, you know,

26:00

you know, you're seven through the

26:02

night. Spooky Halloween nights over at

26:04

the theme park. Yeah. Um, eclipses

26:06

are sometimes seen as a loss

26:08

of Akotash's favorite. We should talk.

26:11

about. Profetic nightmares sometimes worn of

26:13

this. Daedic armor shouldn't be worked

26:15

on eclipse days, right? So that's

26:17

all weird. Dark eclipses occur when

26:19

both moons eclipse the sun, revealing

26:21

the third moon. So when the

26:23

dark moon is able to be

26:25

seen, that's considered a dark eclipse.

26:27

Kajit, born under an eclipse, are

26:30

seen as part of the main

26:32

first stock marked by Alkash's divine

26:34

grace, though not all become the

26:36

main Alkash's Alkash's Alkatash. I almost

26:38

said alcatosh, which sounds like something

26:40

you take when you have a

26:42

cold. I was thinking it was

26:44

the island where we keep people.

26:46

So yeah, so the main, the

26:49

leader of the Kajit has to

26:51

be born basically under an eclipse.

26:53

But not everyone who is born

26:55

under eclipse is a main. Right.

26:57

It's one of those. Here is

26:59

one scenario, but not all scenarios

27:01

fall into it type of bit

27:03

because you can't have multiple. The

27:05

idea is to not have multiple

27:07

mains. Like only one main will.

27:10

be the main. Right. And so

27:12

we also talked about how if

27:14

you're born under eclipse you tend

27:16

to be more gifted in magic,

27:18

but there's more risk of the

27:20

darkness of lorcage and corruption, especially

27:22

among the Kajit, because it's lorcage,

27:24

which is one of their beliefs,

27:26

right? Yeah. And then there's the

27:29

necromancer's moon. This is an eclipse.

27:31

So the necromancer's moon, let me

27:33

phrase this correctly, eclipses arcade every

27:35

eight days, causing the shade of

27:37

the revenant, which casts a purple

27:39

light on certain Tamriel locations for

27:41

24 hours. So every eight days,

27:43

there's this thing called the necromancer's

27:45

moon, which also sounds like a

27:48

really cool name for an album.

27:50

Necromancer's moon? Yeah, if I was

27:52

a band in like the late

27:54

60s, early 70s, I would have

27:56

an album called Necromancers Moon. And

27:58

then I would also try to

28:00

sing like, what's his face from

28:02

a Led Zeppelin? Oh, rubber plant?

28:04

I can't sing like rubber plant,

28:07

but I wish I could. You

28:09

could just have, it's just a.

28:11

and you got a divita the

28:13

entire time. There you go, it's

28:15

just, yeah, a necromason moon. No,

28:17

no, no, no, we're probably right

28:19

struck. Good job. Necromason moon, baby.

28:21

Yeah, I'm sorry. So there's also

28:23

weird things that happen in the

28:25

sky like equinoxes. This is an

28:28

astronomical event where day and night

28:30

are nearly equal in length. This

28:32

is a very normal thing. We

28:34

have equinoxes twice a year on

28:36

our planet. It's because the planet

28:38

is spherical and on an axis.

28:40

And at those times of the

28:42

year, day and night is the

28:44

same. In liminal bridges. Kamen, I'm

28:47

gonna mess this up, Kamelan way

28:49

of Alanor discusses the equinox's importance

28:51

in magical practices, specifically in transforming

28:53

a morpholith into a sigilstone. So

28:55

this is very important if you

28:57

want to transform a morpholith into

28:59

a sigilstone, don't we all? Here's

29:01

the ritual. Who wouldn't? The ritual

29:03

requires a purified chamber and the

29:06

morpholith placed at dawn during the

29:08

equinox. The ritualist performs performs rights

29:10

uninterrupted uninterrupted until sunset enhancing. the

29:12

ritual's effectiveness, this allows a dangerous

29:14

lord to inscribe the morph turning

29:16

it into a sigilstone capable of

29:18

sustaining powerful arcane energy. So if

29:20

you're a danger lord and you

29:22

want to sustain powerful arcane energy,

29:24

make sure you're doing it on

29:27

equinox. It's important. Again, common common

29:29

common knowledge. Right, I mean, I

29:31

guess I don't even need to

29:33

go over that. Yeah, I mean,

29:35

that's a hobby. Right. So, so

29:37

here's another fun, fun little note.

29:39

In ancient tales of the Dwemer,

29:41

Gore Fellum, alias Maribor Sol, describes

29:43

a dual equinox phenomenon where a

29:46

tonal architect tries to synchronize a

29:48

great animus geode with the equinoxes

29:50

to capture Nernernernpith essence. Don't we

29:52

all want that Nernpithas? Again, yes,

29:54

clearly. Yes, also super weird. Now,

29:56

it mentions tonal arc- architecture tonal.

29:58

Magic is very much a Dwemer

30:00

thing. It has to do with

30:02

tones like sounds and those kinds

30:05

of things in synchronizing with a

30:07

dual equal acts, which who even

30:09

knows what that means? This is

30:11

part of a fictitious account influencing

30:13

public perception of the Dwemer. So

30:15

this is another one of those

30:17

books that who knows if this

30:19

is actually real or just propaganda?

30:21

Yeah. We don't really know. But

30:24

then again, who doesn't want to

30:26

learn pith essence? Obviously, again. I

30:28

ask for one for Christmas every

30:30

year and I just never get

30:32

one. I put it in my

30:34

bedside drawer with my mimos bores.

30:36

Thanks. That's enough random references. There's

30:38

also an item called the gauntlets

30:40

of the equinox. These are mythro

30:42

gauntlets with frost resistance, which were

30:45

discovered in Cyridil in the late

30:47

third era named after the equinox

30:49

phenomenon. That's pretty cool. That's pretty

30:51

cool. All right. So you can't

30:53

talk about equinoxes without talking about

30:55

solstices which are the shortest or

30:57

longest day of the year. The

30:59

kind of the inverse of equinoxes

31:01

equinoxes happen in the summer and

31:04

the winter and solst, no, the

31:06

spring and the fall, solstices happen

31:08

in the summer and the winter,

31:10

right? Oh yeah. So this is

31:12

like the lowest point of the

31:14

sun on the horizon, that kind

31:16

of thing. The New Life Festival

31:18

is celebrated on the first of

31:20

Morning Star, which marks the end

31:23

of the old year in the

31:25

beginning of the new, symbolizing hope

31:27

and fresh beginnings. We just had

31:29

that in ESO. We sure did.

31:31

Let's see, each tamarilla culture has

31:33

unique traditions surrounding the winter solace,

31:35

solstice, words are hard, solstice indrix

31:37

are said to have originated from

31:39

a child's toy, magically transformed on

31:41

the longest night of the year.

31:44

So another magical thing that has

31:46

to happen on a very specific

31:48

day or night. Also, that is

31:50

a concept is kind of weird

31:52

that a child's toy then became

31:54

a real thing. So there was

31:56

no basis for indirects prior to

31:58

that? That wouldn't imply if I'm...

32:00

understanding that correctly? Maybe? I don't know.

32:03

Yeah. Like if you draw a picture

32:05

and then like turn it into a

32:07

stuffed animal or something like that and

32:09

then it's like, oh, and now this

32:11

is a real creature as a result

32:13

of magical influence. That's a little freaky.

32:15

Yeah. Yeah. Like Vardvarks or something. Yeah.

32:17

So this is fun. I'll do in.

32:19

also known as the Twilight God, Alduin the

32:22

Dragon from Skyrim, was once venerated during the

32:24

winter solstice through ceremonies at Dragon Cult temples

32:26

where offerings were made to keep him asleep

32:28

for another year. These rituals continued even after

32:31

the fall of the Dragon Cult into the

32:33

interregnum of the second era. This goes all

32:35

the way back to the Dragon Cult and

32:37

Dragon Priests and a lot of stuff that

32:40

is revealed from the lore in Skyrim. And

32:42

we covered a lot of that stuff on

32:44

that it was a while back. can go

32:46

check that out if you want more of

32:49

that stuff. And then there is an

32:51

item associated with the solstice similar to

32:53

an item associated with the equinox. The

32:55

shield of winter solstice is an elven

32:57

shield with frost resistance and was found

33:00

in serial adult during the late third

33:02

era named after the solstice. So there

33:04

you go, one of each. The

33:06

summer solstice, as we go for

33:08

winter solstice to summer solstice, is

33:10

the longest day of the year

33:12

when the sun's at the highest

33:15

point. The exact date of the

33:17

summer solstice in the Tamriallic calendar

33:19

is unclear. Which is super weird

33:21

because... Like what? How do you

33:23

know the date of the winter

33:26

solstice and the equinoxes, but you

33:28

can't figure out what the summer

33:30

was? You know, it's between the

33:32

fourth and the ninth. It's like,

33:34

well, yeah, why is this one unpredictable?

33:37

Right, it's weird, right? So during this

33:39

time, Massar shines brightly, not Secunda, the

33:41

other moon, Massar And the seed constellation

33:43

becomes prominent in the southern sky. We

33:46

talked about constellations on the previous episode,

33:48

how they kind of move across the

33:50

sky in uniform succession, just like they

33:52

do for our world. But this is,

33:55

at this point, the steed is up

33:57

in the, like, the foremost constellation.

34:00

in the sky. The Kajit clergy

34:02

of Alkosh in Sunspire compares Joe

34:04

to the intense heat and redness

34:07

of the summer solstice. So it's

34:09

maybe some relation there between Joe

34:11

and the summer solstice. There you

34:14

go. That's all that crazy stuff.

34:16

It was going to say that

34:18

that's a lot for your quadrants

34:21

of the year. Right. But we're

34:23

not done yet. We still got some

34:25

more. Let's talk about. Star Maps

34:27

and Oreries. Oreries is a wonderful word.

34:29

Oreries is a very weird word. Yes.

34:31

So, oraries and star maps are things

34:34

that can be found in different cultures.

34:36

So for example, let's just, we're just going

34:38

to go into it. The most advanced knowledge

34:40

of the happens comes from the relics of

34:42

the Dwemer. And you can find, I should

34:45

have prepped this to put up on the

34:47

screen, it's actually going to be in the

34:49

thumbnail of the episode. There's this, it looks

34:51

like a spider web with little rooms in

34:54

it in it in it in it in

34:56

it in different spots. And that is a

34:58

Dwemer star chart, which basically kind of lays

35:00

out their perception of the way things in

35:03

the sky work. For us, it seems very

35:05

vague with all of these just

35:07

kind of weird symbols and

35:09

different quadrants across the spider

35:11

web, if you can picture it like

35:13

that. It's a little weird, right? Yeah,

35:16

and actually, spider web's a pretty

35:18

good way of... kind of explaining

35:20

it. If you play ESO there's

35:22

like some hand-drawn versions of it

35:24

in the game and stuff like

35:27

that if you happen to play

35:29

a show you might recognize it.

35:31

Right and you can find these

35:34

at different locations and they don't

35:36

mean a whole lot to us

35:38

but they do tell us that

35:40

the Dwemer were studying the stars,

35:43

they were studying the skies, they

35:45

were the most progressive scientifically of

35:47

any of the cultures? Yeah, technologically

35:50

advanced like they they really

35:52

prioritized knowledge and I would

35:54

say more so like rather

35:56

than just the acquisition of

35:58

knowledge to be like the highest

36:00

of importance because it's just

36:03

like, yeah, we need to know how

36:05

everything works because then we can control

36:07

it. Like, yeah, it was all about

36:10

control. Yeah. Yeah. So the Dweimer have

36:12

their star charts, which are the most

36:14

advanced looking. The Reach Folk actually have

36:16

these ancient plaques that they would use

36:19

in order to talk about the sky

36:21

and their sky tales and to track

36:23

things moving around. So the Reach Folk.

36:26

did this, the Yucudins did it as

36:28

well, they use sand maps, which strangely

36:30

enough, look very similar to dwarf and

36:32

star charts. They're just not as

36:34

detailed. They're kind of like a spider

36:37

web kind of shape, but instead of

36:39

having rooms, they've got like squares and

36:41

circles and those kinds of things kind

36:44

of plotted out in the spider

36:46

web in the different little chambers

36:48

moving out from the center. It's

36:50

like a radial configuration, you could call

36:52

it. And then we have elder scrolls. And

36:54

it's not. uncommon in an elder

36:56

scrolls to see something that also

36:58

looks like a star chart that

37:00

seems very similar to either the

37:02

Yucudin or the Dwemer star charts.

37:04

And I don't think that's a

37:07

coincidence. I think that there's clearly

37:09

something that having to do with

37:11

the elder scrolls and the mapping

37:13

of the cosmos and how all

37:15

of these things correspond and influence

37:17

each other. Right. And as we

37:19

know, the elder scrolls are Basically

37:21

the pinnacle of weird magic going

37:23

on in so many ways. So

37:25

the fact that they would have

37:27

a tie to this is almost

37:29

inevitable in some way or another.

37:32

So it's funny that the series

37:34

is named after it and it's

37:36

an object that we Really just

37:38

deal with tangentially more than anything

37:40

else. Yeah, there's as much as

37:42

we get through each of the

37:44

different games in the series and

37:46

then even get to interact with

37:48

them It just leads to more

37:50

mystery, you know, yeah, which is

37:52

part of fun Right, they're they're

37:54

like purposefully undefined with you know,

37:56

I forget what book it's from

37:58

offhand If somebody happens to know you

38:01

can feel free to toss it in

38:03

comments or whatever but it was like

38:05

the situation where it's like the amount

38:07

of if you count the amount of

38:09

elder scrolls in the Imperial Library it's

38:12

not always the same yeah the number

38:14

changes like it's so weird people who

38:16

read it go crazy that's so weird

38:18

yeah like that stuff is always so

38:20

weird but it makes sense that I

38:22

mean when we're talking about objects in

38:25

the sky oftentimes we're talking about celestial

38:27

powers magic Adra, Daedra, all of these

38:29

things which have some very, very strong

38:31

effect on why the world is the

38:33

way it is, why Mundus is the

38:36

way it is, why Tamril is the

38:38

way it is, why the different cultures

38:40

are the way they are, why they

38:42

believe, why they believe what they believe,

38:44

and what their impression of all of

38:47

that means to the beginning of time

38:49

and where future is going. And so

38:51

much of that stuff, I mean, I

38:53

mean, we're talking the astrology of the

38:56

Elder scrolls games. That is what astrology

38:58

is. It's using the stars to explain

39:00

why things are the way they

39:02

are. And it seems like all

39:04

of that is very important. So

39:06

of course, it would make sense

39:08

that these cultures are charting these

39:10

things and, you know, myth, analyzing,

39:12

yeah, myth and legends get designed

39:14

around explaining these things and then

39:16

they would also show up in

39:18

the elder scrolls. So. There you go.

39:20

I hope this was a fun

39:22

episode because that's it for all

39:25

the different objects because I mean

39:27

as far as I know that's

39:29

that's pretty much all of them

39:31

and it's kind of a fun

39:33

overview of everything else that we

39:35

haven't covered yet in more detail.

39:37

So I wanted to do a

39:39

cleanup of everything. I just wanted

39:41

to do a cleanup of everything.

39:43

I hope you've been doing some

39:45

of these because there was some

39:47

stuff that I actually when we

39:49

were researching some of this, there were a few

39:51

things that I was like, I had zero idea that

39:53

that's how that works. So that's kind of neat. Yeah,

39:55

all sorts of weird stuff. And again, with so much,

39:57

like some of them just have like a single reference.

40:00

There's like one little reference here to

40:02

this thing and it's like, what does

40:04

that mean anything more than that? We

40:06

don't know. Right. Here you go. This

40:09

is one of those topics in the

40:11

series that's ripe for speculation. Like there's

40:13

so many, there's just little nuggets of.

40:15

Stuff that we've been given and

40:18

it's like, oh man, you can

40:20

come up with so many different

40:22

theories and then every now and

40:25

then you get a different type

40:27

of interaction in a game where

40:29

it's like, oh, okay, well, now

40:32

we've got this to add to

40:34

the equation. What does that mean?

40:36

Does this debunk any theories or

40:38

does it make this actually seem

40:41

more likely or whatever? It's oftentimes

40:43

like... Well yeah, I mean right

40:45

from the original, the basis of

40:48

some of your character stats are

40:50

determined by these things.

40:52

Constellations and yeah, all of that

40:54

stuff, which God do you worship and

40:56

is that a planet in the sky?

40:58

Yeah. Right, so right from the get-go

41:00

with Elders Girls One Arena, this has

41:02

been a... Big Part of the

41:04

series and it's just been

41:07

explored in different ways as

41:09

the series has gone on.

41:11

Yep. Yep. So very cool

41:13

stuff. Thank you for joining

41:16

us. We're going to take

41:18

a real quick break and then

41:20

we're going to be back to

41:22

thank our patrons and talk about

41:25

stuff that's on the way coming

41:27

next. So don't go anywhere. We'll

41:30

be right back. Oh, Lord gosh.

41:32

Thanks, West Johnson. By the way,

41:34

those are actually West Johnson.

41:37

He did those first when we got

41:39

to interview him on the show. I was

41:41

just saying it was a first interview

41:43

with him. Yeah, it's always so fun.

41:45

Very, very glad to hear that Wes is

41:47

doing so much better. Yes, yes, absolutely.

41:49

Go out to you, Wes. Yeah, shout out

41:51

to Wes. You know, else I really

41:53

enjoy is. I get these notifications about

41:55

once a month where my little email pops

41:58

up from patron and is like. hey, some

42:00

of your merchant is about to go out

42:02

to some people. And I was like, yes,

42:04

that's so cool. Because they get the t-shirts

42:06

and the stickers and stuff. And I just,

42:08

I love the fact that like, oh, they're

42:11

going to open up their mailbox one day

42:13

and they're going to go, oh, I got

42:15

a t-shirt. You know, like, it's so fun.

42:17

But we have to, as a really funny

42:19

aside, that literally just happened, like as we

42:21

were joking about this, Wes Reed, what do

42:23

you call a thing on Blue Skye? The

42:25

treats? Rescide? I don't know. Rescide? I don't

42:27

know, he just rescide saying we were live,

42:30

which is just kind of

42:32

funny. That's great. More proof

42:34

that Wes is doing good.

42:36

That's great. He's really funny

42:38

that we were talking about

42:40

that and my phone just

42:42

chirped. That's amazing. He's such

42:44

a nice guy. M. Rose

44:37

thank you to everybody who helps support

44:40

the show on Apple and Patreon and,

44:42

or wait, Spotify, that's the word, it

44:44

has a P in it, so it

44:46

takes place in my brain, and Spotify,

44:48

that's the word, it has a P

44:50

in it, so of course, it takes

44:52

place in my brain, and Apple, that's

44:55

the word, it, has a few, it,

44:57

it, has a thumbs up. Recommend us

44:59

to some other people. All of that

45:01

stuff absolutely helps. What's the stereo? Smash

45:03

the like button. Subscribe, turn on, hit

45:05

the bell thing. That's what they say,

45:08

right? Is that how that works anymore?

45:10

I think so. I think it still

45:12

works. I just hope you enjoy the

45:14

video and you can share it if

45:16

you like it. Yeah. Yeah. And if

45:18

you have some thoughts or questions about

45:20

like what you want us to cover

45:23

in the future comment, let us know.

45:25

Yeah. We'll take it into consideration. Ask

45:27

us in one way or another. There's

45:29

lots of ways to reach us to

45:31

ask us stuff. Yes. Or just give

45:33

us your opinion because honestly, then make

45:36

sure to wait till the summer solstice.

45:38

and on a night where the solstice

45:40

and eclipse happens at the same time,

45:42

then craft some daygic armor and then

45:44

send it in the mail to us

45:46

and we'll get your message. I expect

45:49

it to be hyper brittle. Super brittle,

45:51

but as we still convey your message

45:53

and that's what matters the most. Let

45:55

us have anything else you want to

45:57

share before we head out? No, I

45:59

was going to say we managed to

46:01

get our speaking of getting. everything to

46:04

all the stars to align. We managed

46:06

to record an episode of Tales, so

46:08

that's new this week. If you were

46:10

checking out that show, enjoy Tales of

46:12

Tamara, presented by the UESP. And we

46:14

actually had talked about before, we're going

46:17

to be doing our big spoiler cast

46:19

thing because they just announced, if you're

46:21

an ESO player, that This April, they're

46:23

going to be doing the new reveal

46:25

for the upcoming year and the direction

46:27

that they're going with the story and

46:29

the content and stuff like that, what

46:32

areas we're going to be explaining or

46:34

exploring. So we are doing our spoiler

46:36

cast, which we usually do to end

46:38

the year, but because of the gap,

46:40

we didn't really rush to get it

46:42

out there. So we've got T.S. Benefactor

46:45

and Avron joining us on Tales of

46:47

Tamriel so that we can discuss the

46:49

last official chapter. which is being called.

46:51

I mean, we don't know how they're

46:53

going to structure stuff going forward. They're

46:55

mixing it up. So we're doing our

46:57

conclusion of that style of content that

47:00

was released. And that should be the

47:02

next episode of Tales coming out. Hopefully

47:04

this coming week so you'll be getting

47:06

back to back episodes instead of biweekly.

47:08

There you go. Catch it up. Nice.

47:10

Yeah. Awesome. Well, thanks for tuning in
