      Maybe its because they realized that their order was going to be destroyed, the Empire would be shattered and in that process, the wall would be destroyed by the Empire's enemies. So they elected to preserve it in the hope that some of their order would survive and that the Last Dragonborn would realize his or her destiny to defeat Alduin.

Delphine, the other guy, and Fultheim at the inn? If so maybe the wall also shows an abridged version of the fall of the Blades, literally showing their number by the time Alduin returns.

    23:27 - "...a great hero, holding back the ferocity of Alduin, with the Blades kneeling in praise."
    This makes me think that you can only fully fulfill the wall's prophecy by using the Paarthurnax Dilemma mod. In vanilla Skyrim, the Blades don't end up kneeling before the Dragonborn in praise: You either kill Paarthurnax and thus effectively become Delphine's good little lapdog instead of an actual leader for the Blades, or you don't kill Paarthurnax, which results in the Blades ultimately shunning you. Only by Shouting some sense into Delphine, you fulfill even this last part of the prophecy.

      Sorry, seems like my actual point flew over everyone's head. This was meant as a criticism of Bethesda's writing for the Paarthurnax quest specifically. Something like the option added by Paarthurnax Dilemma should have been available in this quest from the very beginning. I think there are other good arguments for that point, I only used the wall's symbolism to illustrate it here.

      @@tarvoc746 I feel ya. I always felt annoyed that the blades were given new purpose by the Dragonborn. One of them was working at a backwater inn with a troublesome husband and the other was hiding in a glorified sewer drain. Yet the Dragonborn took them and gave them a noble purpose to fight Alduin. Not to mention that they had never been sworn to hunt down and kill dragons. They had assassins or scholars in a time without any dragons. Why in Oblivion are they so emotionally invested in killing a cool dragon buddy? And at the cost of telling their new boss and charge to fuck off???

    • @tarvoc746
      @tarvoc746 Pƙed 4 lety +88

      @@left-2-write28 I don't think Delphine is invested in killing Paarthurnax. Not overly at least, not more than for any other dragon. She's invested in making _the Dragonborn specifically_ kill him. Delphine has been manipulative and controlling since the very first time you meet her, and she even outright lies to you straight to the face long before you even get to the Paarthurnax quest. I think it's pretty obvious that she wants to turn the Blades into her own personal army, and the Dragonborn into her loyal puppet. Paarthurnax is in the way because as a mentor character he has a very different, more subtle, but arguably stronger influence on the Dragonborn. For Delphine, killing him serves two connected purposes: First, it gets him out of the way. And second, letting you do it serves as a test of loyalty, to see if you're dedicated enough to her so she can mold you into her tool. If you don't let her control you that way, she knows that you're a threat to her authority over the Blades, and thus she'll kick you out as a risk to her plans. And if you do let her control you that way, she knows that she can goad you into committing outright immoral acts, and thus it's the first step to forming you to her will. It's similar to a mob boss telling a new recruit to perform a kill to prove his loyalty. Wanting the target dead is usually a very secondary concern for the mob boss. The real purpose is to turn the new recruit into a loyal killer.

    • @ink4852
      @ink4852 Pƙed 4 lety +15

      Here's the gist of it, at least the way I understand it through my own delves into the lore.
      Magnus is the God of Magick. He was the first of the Aedra/Magma Ge to abandon Lorkhan's Mundus creation project after they realized that they would lose most of their divinity during the process.
      The Eye of Magnus was said to be used in the creation of Mundus/Nirn. The way I understand it, it's essentially a magical toolkit of such. The Thalmor's ultimate goal is to unmake the world (not destroy the world, but rather unmake the world by reversing the process that used to create it). They believe that by unmaking the world that they can "return" to being Aedra/Gods themselves, as the Altmer claim to be direct descendants of the Aedra.
      Ancano found a shortcut through the Eye of Magnus.

      That's why Akatosh takes Alduin's soul back after you defeat him in Sovengarde. Also it would be kind of impossible. The reason why it worked in Daggerfall was because each faction was represented by a figure and not an army. All of those figures achieved what they wanted and thus time merged into one timeline again.

Whoever wrote this is a master craftsman at story telling and to be able to mold such a great story and lore into one piece or artifact in game must be so difficult for the average person.

    I'm reminded of the headmaster of bards, Viarmo's statement. He says that despite one of the sides in the civil war winning, there is no real conclusion to be found. That leaders will come and go as time passes. That only the event of the dragons' return is something which definitely will be remembered. I believe the developers, by that, made sure that the next game doesn't have to provide us with any accurate detail or references to Skyrim and the civil war, just general points of it. The next chapter will likely revovle around a greater theme - the men versus mer conflict. The whole of the fith chapter in the Elderscrolls is practically leading up to it. But how it will unfold, time only will tell. Oh, but we do know of one heroine who will be present: Grandma Shirley Curry!

    Basicly boom gods were tricked into making nirn. Daedra survivied and dragons are a thing for some reason. Boom now men are a thing. Some dude with a cool loking axe conquers tamerial. Dragons are drove out of akaviri by very hungry snake people so now the axe dude worships him? Kynes all like "bro thats so uncool heres how to scream so hard you set your opponents on fire and pull dragons to the ground. Boom magic paper is acually time machine space ray that hits aluduin sending him in side the timerift. Some weird stuff happens and some creppy old man locks his boss in the basement a a blue specter tells you to murder the old man. Then some dude hires you to use the numidum that the dwemer made before "achieving divinity". Time breaks because its not elderscrolls without time being messed up. Some 4 dudes betray azura so azuras like, "Your black now nwah." So you kill the most handsome god ever I mean hes a god how could you kill him but you do it anyway because you used exploits to do like a million damage with pots. Some red dude steals a necklace so you have to steal it back and turn it into a dragin. Now the dragin, the other dragon came out of the time loop and some jerks want you to kill your best bro parthanax and his former boss audiuin. You kill the jerk dragin but you keep your best dragon bro alive.

      Here's someone who hasn't achieved chim. Kappa
      Nah, I'll explain what I can.
      All events happened, but it's the merging and reconciliation from the 7 endings as time mended that's the sticking point; I know.
      I'm sure it would help to know the practicality-- What the end result *_after_* the dragonbreak was.
      For the powers feuding for control of the Iliac Bay, here's an excerpt from "The Warp in the West", a book found in tES4 Oblivion:
      "During the 'Miracle of Peace', according to official accounts, the formerly war-wracked Iliac Bay region was transformed overnight from a patchwork of squabbling duchies and petty kingdoms into the peaceful modern counties of Daggerfall, Sentinel, Wayrest, and Orsinium. The 'Miracle of Peace', also known as the 'The Warp in the West', is celebrated as the product of the miraculous interventions of Stendarr, Mara, and Akatosh to transform this troublesome region into peaceful, well-governed Imperial counties."
      As for the other two endings...
      The Underking likely claims the death he sought, and, given the Shade of the Revenant, it is possible that King of Worms did actually ascend to a godlike state, and he did claim the title of God of Worms if "Where Were You When the Dragon Broke?
      " (another in-game book) is to be believed.
      And for the process of how countless timelines are reconciled...
      Well, average out all possibilities and distill muddlingly homogenized aspects into disparate parts as you would a sample in a centrifuge, and you may be closer to the result than you might think.
      Perhaps the rest just falls into place naturally like a fine sediment as a result.

      When a dragon break merges, the Jills repair it.
