You, dragonborn: becomes archmage in three days, cant even use magic, screams at a dragon killing it instantly. Eat only the finest cheeses and picture of health. Everyone loves you

Me, nerevarine: riddled with disease, drinking swill and rat piss lost in a blight storm near a volcano while a disgraced god whispers into my brain, constantly assailed by cliff racers and ash ghouls, just to find and kneecap a mages guild member that wont pay his dues. Not even sure if im an actual member or just a thug for them. sometimes using magic makes me faint. Everyone hates me and many actively are trying to kill me

If the First Council had Instagram

Almalexia: Has something like 1,253 followers and follows 3,097 other accounts, mostly celebrities. Only ever comments on Vivec’s posts. Always posts pictures of her friends. Uses way too many emojis in her captions

Voryn Dagoth: Has 35 followers. Is never active half the time. Has one post on his account; a video of him and Nerevar singing horribly. Has a private account.

Dumac: Has 164k followers, but his posts only get 90 likes. Only follows other Dwemer, with the exception of Nerevar. Posts almost every day about rants and complaints, but occasionally takes a bomb selfie.

Nerevar: Has 900k followers and follows literally everyone back. Posts very frequently, tags Vivec in almost all of his posts. Follows hundreds of meme accounts and tags Sotha Sil in almost every one (“this is u lol”). Starts fights in comments.

Sotha Sil: Has 345 followers, no ghosts or bots follow him. Follows almost exclusively science and conspiracy accounts and makes posts about science. Very pro-LGBT and BLM. Also very shy, never responds to dms.

Vivec: Has 2 million followers, only follows 5 other people (Almalexia, Dagoth, Dumac, Nerevar and Sotha Sil). Shitposts all the time bc he doesn’t understand the concept of a feed. Comments on Sotha Sil’s posts but never likes them. Spams Almalexia with dms

“Eat Glass, Fight God: The Morrowind Story”

A starlight hidden in the depths

/kind of a redrawing of this/

When we discuss the Imperial involvement in the events of Morrowind, some things should be taken into consideration. Above all, the Empire doesn’t want the Nerevarine to save Morrowind per se, it is interested in saving Morrowind as an Imperial province instead.

Dealing with Dagoth Ur threat? Great! Undermining the Tribunal? Even better! Setting the Nerevarine against anti-Imperial / separatist elites (e.g., Orvas Dren, Bolvyn Venim, Gothren)? Excellent!

And if our pocket heroes start to misbehave, we have enough blackmail material to destroy them. They come to Morrowind as prisoners, and it’s rather easy to fabricate the proof that they were convicted for raping corpses or something equally disgusting. This is pure speculation on my part, sure…

However, the game itself gives us much more tangible proof of the Blades’ conspiracy: the very first missions Cauis gives us look suspiciously like some sort of stitch-up. The Nerevarines start their spy career with scavenging from Dwemeri ruins, which is indeed a crime against Imperial law.

But the next step - the deal with Sharn gra-Muzgob - is much, much worse. The woman asks us to desecrate a Dunmeri ancestral tomb and steal a particular skull for her rituals, which is one of the most dreadful, wretched things we could do in the eyes of local population. Moreover, Sharn is lying: she says that Llevule Andrano was a simple wizard while in reality he was a canon of the Tribunal Temple, and well-loved by lord Vivec on top of it.

Caius knows perfectly well that the woman is a necromancer, and the information she’s able to provide us with is pretty trivial. Why endanger your precious agent so much? Stealing a skull of a god-blessed mer? How scandalous! And if the Nerevarines try to pull some anti-Imperial trick, well…

One of my friends thinks that the Blades killed (or tried to kill) the Nerevarine after the events of the game and spread the rumors about the Akavir trip to throw everybody off track - charming, but rather effective :D

ugh

I love Eno Hlaalu forever bye

wow I can’t wait for indoril nerevar to return and cast down the false gods, restoring morrowind to its ancient glory

And at least here is the Tribunal !

murder is legal in morrowind as long as you have a permission slip

young Eno Hlaalu and his adventures…

hopeless premonitions

tomorrow didn’t come some say its hiding but they’re the ones who've hidden

euphoria followed by visions of peasants eating pigeons

hold me now… oooh worm my heart…..

Other fun thing in Morrowind: accidentally clicking on an item on a desk instead of the vendor behind it, causing a psychic shockwave that causes everyone on Vvardenfell to begin punching you to death on sight
