  1. I mean all I'm really hearing from this is that Herma be the nerd of the group. Dagon: So should we invite herma to the party? The rest: NO! Are you nuts he's just gonna talk about books an ask people if they know anything about Skall weaving techniques! Molag Bal: Yeah dude that incel ain't even funny when he's drunk and he doesn't even drink that much. Mephala: Yeah total vibe killer! Lets not tell him about Saturday.
    Meanwhile, Herma's like: I feel like there's yet even more information being kept from meeeeee! :((((((

  2. "Hermaeus Mora", keeper of all knowledge, known and occult, feels like a loose parallel to our real world Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes/Thoth), author of The Kybalion. Need this sort of detailed lore investigation into the mystery of our real world!

  3. Dragonborn Emperor is different from Dragonborn Miraak. The "Emperor" was made to maintain a wall, the "Miraak" was made to slay a demi god dragon. Alessia as dragon blood, but its never said that she had a dragon soul

  4. Dragon breaks doenst make sense, its impossible. During the break its possible, but after it end, there will be only one truth. For example, I lost my arm in the dragon break, but in other vision I didnt lost, when the dragon break ends, I have my arm? If yes, then the only truth is that I didnt lost my arm

  5. I wonder if they're gonna keep dragons flying in elder scrolls 6. I hope so. They also better include the last dragon born and what happened to them. After becoming the leader of every major guild in skyrim. Along with being basically immortal

  6. I don't think Mora will be able to get the last dragonborn. The Deadra don't have a good record dealing with anything dragon related. Dagon was stopped by the dragonblood and a dragon soul. Bal captured a dragon wanting to learn their secrets and failed the dragon resisted to the end. Bal failed to dominate its soul. And Miraak mearly used Mora and rebelled. Anything of the dragonblood cannot be dominated or controlled by others especially by daedra. Perhaps its the very nature of dragons themselves that's in their blood. Those of the dragonblood dragonborns/dragons will not allow themselves perhaps by instinct to be dominated by others unless its their own kind. The children of Akatosh are the dominator not the subject.

  7. Mora is collecting dragon souls because if you go back to Oblivion they had a quest that had a book that talked about the black books 📚 and out of all the black books there was one that was smaller called the little black book and in that book he seek to obtain Yoragirls number.

  8. I have a theory about why Herma Mora doesn't like Vaermina.

    You know how you sometimes wake up from dreams and can't remember them? What if the reason for this in the Elder Scrolls is because Vaermina is plotting something. Or maybe Herma Mora thinks she is.

    We know Herma Mora can't stand not knowing something, no matter how obscure or pointless. And not knowing something about a fellow daedric prince can spell doom for him.

    If Vaermina is doing something in dreams that Herma Mora should be concerned about, he'd never know. Because the mortals whose dreams she uses for this will forget by the time ge gets his tentacles on them. And if it's not in their memories, he'd have nothing.

    Perhaps Vaermina is doing something that could pose a threat to Herma Mora, or maybe he's paranoid and obsessed

  9. You were onto something with Hermes as the Norse equivalent to Hermes was Odin or Woden who was similarly a trickster god rather than the mistaken association to Zeus he has in modern interpretation.

    There are similar real world oddities to his name as the Germanic and Romantic world's and languages intertwined.

  10. The ending to Dragon Born DLC was trash. You're a demi god with the soul of a dragon given to you by the god of time, but Bethesda decides to make you some eldritch ass holes' b@tch so they can toss you aside like they did to the hero of Cyrodil

  11. Isn't total Knowledge what Jyggylag had? Does that mean Jyggylag and Herma mora share similar spheres? If Jyggylag was a threat to all other daedric lords, was this one such way he threatened herma mora?

  12. What is the measure of time before time exists to measure?
    What is truth before agreement?
    What is, prior being?

    That is how you exist older than creation while being haven created of it.

  13. So there was something about what happens above happens bellow that you said and that got me thinking.

    Could that mean that the human races in elder scrolls 6 are going to be in a bad way?

    My thinking is that because the worship of Talos was outlawed by the elves. Would that not make the god get weaker and weaker until his children ( humans) couldn’t hear him after the civil war and now they are lost without him.

  14. If Alduin was sent forward in time, it might be the case that the dragons we defeat are likewise returned to sleep only to awaken in a future age. By collecting their souls, we hold them for a time, but when we consume them, they return to sleep. If we give the soul to Hermeaus Mora, he consumes their souls for the experiences they had, and likewise returns them to sleep…
