While the trial of Vehk is in recess, please use this hall
to make preparations for the summoning of Azura on Hogithum, 21st
First Seed (21st March). You may bring your questions for Azura
here.
You may also use this hall to gather the materials
needed for the summoning by our priest, Ainoryl, who says:
"In this act I will require four gifts, worthy of Azura:
-The artifact Azura’s Star. It rests in Vvardenfell.
-The antlers of the beast King Dead Wolf-Deer. The beast was
last seen in High Rock.
-A single ringlet from the
Wraithmail of Alandro-Sul, son of Azura. It may be found in
Vvardenfell.
-The last gift to the Goddess of Dusk and Dawn
may be found here. A shadow stripped, willingly and permanently,
from one who watches this trial.
Any who would aid in the
gathering of these items, step forward."

A splendid
hall, Maiden Teggers. This will please her Ladyship, as house and
House, where it shall be known for eternity as that place where
Vehk's final doom came to him at last. GHARTOK PADHOME AI. Now,
sweet maiden, might you wish to recline with me and learn the
belly-magics of the Star-wounded East? If you become lonely, I know
of a new Tribunal I can command to join us, bringing grapes.

For
expediency's sake (and to refresh incoming delegates, Council
members, and non-corporeal beings) I shall post the current standing
of preparations for the summoning of Azura.
-Azura’s Star was last heard of
in the possession of Vvardenfell’s Nerevarine, who likely traveled
with it to the Nordic island of Solstheim or secreted it away here
on Vvardenfell for safe-keeping before departing there. The
Nerevarine’s whereabouts are unknown since the events of the
Bloodmoon Prophecies. A delegate should likely be chosen to travel
to Solstheim to investigate, preferably not of elven blood. I have
sent word to Hasphat Antabolis asking for any information he or
the guild leaders of Vvardenfell might have on its whereabouts, if
a search of Solstheim proves fruitless.
-The Antlers of
King Dead Wolf-Deer remain unaccounted for, though the beast is or
was native to High Rock. I was born in High Rock, but confess
complete ignorance of the creature.
-Lord T.S. Basilisk
has volunteered to lead the research efforts into locating a
ringlet from the Wraithmail of Alandro-Sul. No other information
is currently known.
-I have volunteered my own shadow for
the purposes of the summoning. Open
questions from the Trial thus far should likely be compiled in a
similar fashion to the above and pared down to their most concise
and incisive forms.
Do not be too smug in your own
condemnation, Vehk. Acquittal is not beyond the realm of
possibility.

My dear
Vehk,
As flattered as I truly am by the attentions of one
so... experienced as yourself, I fear that my body would adapt to
these belly-magics much better than would be good for my mind.
Tempting as your offer may be, I currently have no desire to dwell
in Sheogorath's shadow.

Excellent ideas, LDones, and
thank you for posting the status of the materials needed for the
summoning.
I would remind everyone that they should please
restrict questions to Azura within topics that are pertinent to the
trial. As Vehk mentioned, we may not have Azura's presence for very
long, so we need to make every moment (and question) of the
summoning well spent.
And Vehk, the sadness (or is it merely
ennui?) I sense in you almost makes me regret my gentle rebuff.
Almost.

Far be it from
me to pass up a good quest, but I’m looking for other things at the
moment. Good luck in collecting said gifts. I anxiously await the
21st of First Seed.
Quote:
Quote:
Nigedo: Then let us delve deeper into the apparent
mystery of your present mortality. From whence does it proceed?
Does it have no past, no ancestor, no precedent? Do you not walk
Time's straight line with all mortals? Then see what lies behind
you, or dare you not look over your shoulder?
. Vehk: I will leave it
to others to find where I have written all this before.
I am drawn to the words that
Vehk spoke days ago, "I will leave it to others to find where I have
written all this before."
I went to bed with these words
dancing in my head. And I dreamt. Visions of a world long ago
permeated my slumber. I saw unborn Vehk sitting in the womb, ready
to be born for the very first time. Or was it the second? Vehk's
voice called to me, "I had hoped that you would be one of the ones
to look for it."
I awoke!
Feverishly, I began to
scan the 36 Sermons in an attempt to find where Vehk had “written
all this before."
Let’s begin the discussion with a portion
of Sermon One:
Then the Barons and the Demiprince joined together
into a pillar of fighting styles terrible to behold and they
danced before the egg and its learning image.
'Look,
little Vehk, and find the face behind the splendor of my bladed
carriage, for in it is delivered the unmixed conflict path,
perfect in every way. What is its number?'
It is said the
number is the number of birds that can nest in an ancient tibrol
tree, less three grams of honest work, but Vivec in his later
years found a better one and so gave this secret to his people.
'For I have crushed a world with my left hand,' he will
say, 'but in my right hand is how it could have won against me.
Love is under my will only. I leave this with you for now. I
will return later to comment and share other findings.
Until
then...

Having made

I can indeed say that in at least some depictions, Azura has a
complete dress. A rather nice one, too.

Well, it would
appear things are coming along quite nicely. I have searched through
ancient records and can find no trace or mention of a "King Dead
Wolf-Deer". I could go and question the locals about such a
creature, though I am very unfamiliar with the area. If no other
option comes about, I will go, though I hope it will not be
neccessary.

A very fine
hall, indeed. While the search for the items to summon Azura takes
place, let us not forget our other purposes:
1) to form a
list of questions for Azura about the crimes of Vivec towards
Nerevar and the gods, and 2) to question Vivec regarding other
crimes.
Vehk, before our change of venue, we were discussing
the nature of your crimes against the people of Morrowind. Your
argument, if I have understood it correctly, was that your behavior
was not worse than that of Mephala, whom you replaced in the worship
of the people of Morrowind; and that, in any case, you did not usurp
the worship of Mephala because your acts were themselves part of the
worship of Mephala.
This is roughly the same argument by
which the Tribunal temple names Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala the
Anticipations of Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and yourself.
In
support of this argument you summoned a witness of great authority
but small reliability, Sheogorath, the Daedra Prince of Madness, who
said, among other things, that many people preferred you to Mephala
and being eaten by slaughterfish to both of you. You then attempted
to justify your argument by quoting Sheogorath out of context.
I tend to agree that you have behaved no worse than Mephala
towards the Dunmer people. I will even concede that there is, in the
Dunmer, an enduring joy in the ways of Mephala which is alien to me
as a Nord. Folk of many races object to sex and murder in various
combinations, but I cannot judge the customs of a people so
different from my own. Perhaps Nigedo and the other Dunmer present
can speak more to the purpose.
I do not concede that you,
Vehk, in matching the conduct of a Daedra, are blameless. By whose
authority do you stand in Mephala's place? And it may be that what
is no crime for a Daedra is still a crime for you.
Which
leads me to a question for Azura.
Did the three Daedra
Princes known as the Anticipations, Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala, in
fact bless the ascension of the Tribunal to godhood? Are the words
of the Tribunal Temple regarding the Anticipations blasphemy, or
worship?

I myself have
no objections, such expeditions are not my forte. I have little
doubt that if the referenced "creature" is Hircine, he will be
surely hard to find (particularly considering recent rumors going
around the Nordic population). Nonetheless, I wish you well my good

These
preceedings are surely bones in the belly of the beast. It is not my
place to speak, but I must declare the prosecuting party,
incompetent, by my standards of preparation. I am troubled by the
accusations brought upon your defendant while there is no worthwhile
evidence at
present.
Witnesses?
Statements?
Blood of

Shadows now lost in the Giver of Life?
I move
that this, "Court", present more than simple rumor and opinionated
assumption for this lynching to continue. The summoning of "The
Great Mother" *sneer* is hardly justification to extend this
ludicrous venture. Perhaps the "Courts" would prefer to journey to
the Times of Past and revive all their necessary
evidence?
Justice. A word the weak gave birth to so others

The worship of
Mephala, as any of the Anticipations, is a strange beast. As you may
know he/she is most widely worshiped in a specific sense by the
Morag Tong, for he/she is the reason they exist and the reason they
continue to function. And as such most Dunmer will concede that
he/she is an important part of our daily lives, because without them
we would most likely succomb to the barbaric nature of open warfare
that the other more "civilized" nations of Tamriel bow to. Outside
the Morag Tong he/she is generally always either lumped in with Lord
Vivec or as part of the three Anticipations. There is the exception
of her role in our begining but the Three have tought my people that
though they are mostly responsible for our exodus they have served
their purpose and are no longer worthy of worship.
While not
forbidden it is deffinately frowned upon for any normal Dunmer to
have a shrine in his/her name specificly. His/Her name is often
praised when invoking Vivec's name but mearly as his precurssor and
as such is often seen as unnessisary since Vivec has taken his/her
place.
I would definately say that, outside the Morag Tong,
Vivec is has been much better to my people than Mephala because even
though his/her sphere is hidden to mortals she still only answers to
those things that can bring glory to his/herself.
EDIT: Ah
so the self styled God of Worms has made yet another appearance
while I wrote my letter. Though I tend to agree with your objections
it seems fitting that you would find these proceedings troubling,
since your current state can be directly attributed to one of the
things Vivec is being put on trial for.

Mordechai
Ben Yossef was quietly sitting in his comfortable estate. Many years
had passed since he had joined house Redoran, and many were the
tales he could tell - or remember, for that matter. The breton
had on many occasions ventured forth into pointless tasks. Sometimes
to gain acceptance as an 'outlander', which he would always be, in
any land of any empire, And sometimes, out of curiosity.
He
had never much understood the dunmer religion, but was smart enough
never to speak openly against it. After all, if the tribunal were
"only very powerful sorcerers" or "real gods" wasn't one matter one
wanted to discuss, especially when the subject was capable of
burning your house down in a second.
But as he had heard of
various accounts of the Nerevarine - one who came to lead the
dunmer, and would be seen as an outcast at first - He felt some sort
of sympathy for the chap. Or lady. He couldn't remember. He'd lived
something like this, though far less prophecised and far-fetched
than whatever this messiah had accomplished.
As such, he had
begun to take interest in Vekh's trial. "Who would ever care about a
millenia-old crime?", he thought. "Even an old man as I can only be
remotely interested about these news, and it has been a slow month."
Nevertheless, it seemed that this very powerful being was
bored, as it let itself be judged. It? He? She? He/She? Och, du
liebe. These chochems and mayvens thought they had "caught" him,
too.
Now, this kind of rambling lasted long enough for
Mordechai to wait for supper-time. After a good smoke, as he
emptied his pipe, he gave more thought to the invocation of Azura.
Now, that would be a sight. "What was on the list,
again?", he said to himself. "The wraith-mail of Alandro Sul. A klog
iz mir! I knew it was somewhere around this place!" This night
wouldn't be spent remembering his youth. Well, it would be, but in
the company of all this shmek tabik he went into dwemer ruins and
dunmer tombs for. And maybe - just maybe - there would be one
coat that would be useful among this "garbage". As such, the
rummaging of his treasury begun.

You want statements? Will a
confession suffice, God of Worms?
When shown the hidden
message of his Sermons (revealed by Sermon 29), Vehk had this to
say:
As Vehk and Vehk I hereby answer, my right and my
left, with black hands.
Vehk the mortal did murder the
Hortator.
Vehk the God did not, and remains as written.
And yet these two are the same being. And yet are not,
save for one red moment.
Know that with the Water-Face do
I answer, and so cannot be made to lie. I suppose, in your
opinion, that is not a worthwhile statement, and perhaps you are
correct. Vehk claims to have done this in a different Time-Place,
and therefore, the Vehk we see today, is not the Vehk who committed
said crime. I am searching for information to either support or
refute his claim.
In my previous address to the Council, I
mentioned passages from Sermon One:
'For I have crushed a world
with my left hand,' he will say, 'but in my right hand is how it
could have won against me. Love is under my will only.' Here is the first claim that is made
in the Sermons.
Also in that Sermon, I find a question that
seems to beg to be answered. Or does it?:
"Look, little Vehk, and find
the face behind the splendor of my bladed carriage, for in it is
delivered the unmixed conflict path, perfect in every way. What is
its number?'
It is said the number is the number of birds
that can nest in an ancient tibrol tree, less three grams of
honest work, but Vivec in his later years found a better one and
so gave this secret to his people." I have
yet to find the answer, nor do I think one will be found.
Please excuse me. I'm going to enlist some help. I shall
present more information at a later time.

Since i made some of the
accusations i think i have to answer for this. I only had to make
the accusations. Its the advocates and judges who have to search for
the evidences and see if the accusations are fit, or not, based on
the found evidences.
First accusation:
The Murder of
Nerevear.
Witnesses: Nerevar himself if he could remenber
the past of his former life. Vivec, or the first Vivec if you
believe him, and if you believe on his version. The Sermons. Other
documents found in Morrowind. Azura herself.
Second
Accusation:
The use of the hearth that caused this world to
almost be consumed by an incurable plague and an insane warlock.
Hiding this from the Emperor until it was almost too
late.
Witnesses: Everyone knows it happened. The question how
could the Tribunal get absolution on this. And dont tell me that the
rulers of the Empire dont have the right to regulate how everyone
uses magic when the world we live on his a magic fireball ready to
explode whenever some wizard lunatic finds discovers a new magical
trigger to activate the bomb.
Third Accusation:
False
claims of goodhood.
Witness: Yourself Manimarco. You are a
God and this truth is not disputed by the Elder Council. When you
become a God your body transcended and a new star has revealed
itself in the skies so that everyone would know it was not just a
trick of magic maintained by a rare artifact of power. Are you a god
Manimarco ? Then you could speak if the Tribunals god claims are a
blasphemy or not if you are willing to.
Fourth
Accusation:
Comspiracy againts the empire by using the
sermons against the empire.
Wintenesses. The hidden sermons
in Vivecs secret library. The work of agent Dalin of the Blades in
the Imperial library. This 1.5 meter wood-elf, alone and fighting
their way against toons of her-hands and vivecs mercenaries as
gathered the proofs you seek.
There are other accusations
from other honest citizens of the empire.
Quote:

You misplace justice God.
Justice is not the mortals toy you speak of. Every spirit, including
yourself, even Anu/Pandomei will one day be looked upon by the eye
of justice and when it happens, creation itself will be judged and
weighted in a balance, so that is true value will be known. Justice
is every where and in every spirit.
I bow to no God and
justice doesnt have a need for one. The Gods are welcome if they
come for good and it is my judgement on that and if they not then to
the hell with you and them.
This purpose of this court is to
form a veredict when all the evidences and witnesses against the
Tribunal crimes have been brought and the judges are satisfied. Then
whatever happens next will satisfy the ones i have to report when
this is all over.

Ah, alas, I need not ask the

such audience. In time, I foresee you WILL learn the truth. I dare

could you mere mortals hand down on Lord Vehk had you found him
guilty of crime? *laugh*
Yes, the real question here is, who
is on trial? Lord Vehk is quite cunning. Your audience feeds his

to subdue the Wrath of Outer Intention.

Hail,
Mannimarco. I would have spoken to you before, but I still bear a
grudge against you for living so far underground.
I am
charged here with doing my best to damn Vivec. He has named me Mercy
(active and clawed like a nix-hound). Mercy is an end, not an
eternity. Indeed, I cannot say why it should please him to come
here, but I have sworn to do my best against him.
All of the
witnesses I can think of are dead. This may not be as much of a
hindrance to you as to the rest of us. Did you have something in
mind?

Master
Stri’Ker: Please, by all means, if you are to be in the High Rock
Province of your own accord, any information on the Wolf-Deer beast
would be of enormous value. If you require lodgings while in the
eastern reaches of the province, seek out a Lady Dilenus in Camlorn
- I spent my early years near Camlorn and Moonguard, and keep touch
with many still there (who are likewise ignorant of the beast,
though this may merely mean it is hidden well in that area). The
Lady is very fond of the Khajiiti people.
If the creature is
some form of servant or incarnation of Hircine then it may stick to
snowy climes, in light of his most recent alleged preference of
location. I would recommend beginning your search in the areas of
Shornhelm and moving west toward Evermore and then Jehenna and

Great Lord
Mannimarco: I am endlessly pleased that you have made another
appearance, albeit in non-corporeal form. I am a great admirer of
your Works, as are many of my closest compatriots. Still, must we
resurrect the many debates that have raged throughout the years
regarding Vivec’s crimes and expound upon them, point by point?
Perhaps. I assure you that more solid arguments from both sides are
currently being substantiated, though I know you are not wrong in
beholding this proceeding as a bit of a circus of sound and fury
thus far. Your patience will be rewarded with a spectacle worth the
beholding, I hope.

witness to whats in the Treaty of the Armistice Underking -
potentially another witness to whats in the Treaty of the Armistice
- may clarify the point below From The Arcturian Heresy - "When
certain conditions of the Armistice include not only a policy of
noninterference with the Tribunal, but also, in the Underking's
eyes, a validation of their religious beliefs , Ysmir is furious. He abandons the Empire
completely. This was the betrayal the Greybeards spoke of. Or so he
thinks."
Can't think of many other witnesses right now. Will
return later if I see some other witness that should be mentioned.

Lord Lugagius:
I have not seen your face nor heard your voice at these
proceedings before now. We thank you for your zeal, but might you
provide some references for the Council from Vvardenfell and the
island of Solstheim, or Fort Frostmoth? As I’m sure you know, the
East Empire Company there was plagued with a rash of deaths
recently, and I want to ensure that we neither send you into a death
trap without knowing your abilities or put false faith in your
intentions. I believe the Council would prefer to avoid the chance
that we might be sending a Dark Brotherhood assassin on the trail of
an artifact of tremendous power…
Lord Hitto/Mordechai:
Take up any information on your search w/ TSBasilisk – he is
leading the effort into the whereabouts of the Wraithmail. It is
unlikely that any adventurer would have hold of it. Alandro-Sul, Son
of Azura was purported to be immortal, and the only records I have
found of his Wraithmail thus far are from the Nordic volume The Five
Songs of King Wulfharth, wherein Alandro-Sul purportedly wears it to
the Battle of Red Mountain at Nerevar and Dumac’s side, and is
blinded while slaying Wulfarth himself. The Five Songs is generally
regarded as a… fringe narrative of the Battle of Red Mountain, so we
have little to go on. I have not seen Lord Basilisk in attendance in
the newly opened hall, though I am sure he will be about shortly.
---
To the Council: My apologies for holding the
floor for such a length of time, I now take my leave for the moment.
I will, at a later date, begin drafting a document enumerating the
touched upon accusations and defenses, in bulleted form, with
questions needing resolution from each and previous arguments for
and against. In the meantime, let the questions and enumeration of
witnesses contniue unharried. If you’ll excuse me I have much work
to do.

I am no lord, simply a
researcher of the mundane. Since I have only recently come to
Vvardenfell, I have no record of my stay here (this trial is the
main reason for my being here, and why I left solstheim with my
studies incomplete.) As for references, the new Governor, Uror
Arctus, issued me this travel permit (migration to the colony is
strictly controlled). In my friendship with the Skaal, they
presented me with this nordic silver sword and stahlrim dagger after
completing a right of friendship with them.

Master Lugagius: High credentials

time you antagonized a Tribunal, it resulted in more restless dead

Before I leave
on my High Rock travels, the comments made by B have piqued my
interest and I have put some thought into the sermons. Perhaps I am
on the completely wrong path, but the first three sermons start
taking on a different meaning if you think of the 'netchiman's wife'
as the Heart of Lorkhan.
"Then Ayem threw the netchiman's
wife into the ocean water" - this was done to the Heart, by Auriel
and not Ayem.
There is also: "She heard one say, 'Go and
make a simulacrum of her and place it back on the surface, for she
has something akin to what we have and so the Velothi will covet it
and notice if she is too long away.' " - Create a Numidium to hold
the Heart?
"In the darkness, the netchiman's wife felt great
knives try to cut her open. When the knives did not work, the Dwemer
used solid sounds. When those did not work, great heat was brought
to bear. Nothing was of any use, and the egg of Vivec remained safe
within her." - Their tests on the Heart to try an harness it's power
and become Gods.
Of course, I may just be going insane from
the visit of Sheogorath!
And, related to the dual
universe: "They could ghost touch and probed inside the egg to
find its core. Some say Vivec at this point was shaped like a star
with its penumbra broken off; others, that it looked like a revival
of vanished forms." - Two separate points of view for the same
event... when has this happened before?
Like
I said, it may be wrong-headed of me to think that way, however, I
couldn't keep the theory to myself, just incase there is a grain of
truth to it.

I must truly
apologize for my absence. Circumstances and inefficient means of
communication prevented my continuing to inform you.
Indeed,
I have researched the subject, and find little reference not only to
the Wraithmail, but also to Alandro Sul himself. He last resided
among the Ashlanders, so it is there the search should begin, unless
Hitto truly can reveal how he came into possession of such an
artifact.
Upon consideration, I believe I will first travel
to meet with the Urshilaku tribe. They were the strongest supporters
of the Nerevarine cult before the Nerevarine emerged, and were also
closest to the Cavern of the Incarnate. What is more, the ashkhan of
the tribe is name Sul-Matuul. This may be a simple coincidence, by
perhaps not.

Feh. Young
know-it-all could have been right. Se zol dir grihmen in

thing, and Mordechai was unsuccessful. There were things that
hindered his progress. Some writings at first, and some books
later on. Ashlanders were the key. Immortal or no, that's where
Alandro Sul retired when he was blinded. Everyone knows that. Now,
which tribe did he spend his days in, Mordechai did not know. What
to ask of them, he knew even less.
He was too old to raid
tombs again, and by god, if that thing used to be in one, then he
had certainly gotten it! Enough patteren tseit! Orders to be

Oh no my good Khajiit, a
masterful deduction. Vehk's imperfection has yet again brought about
great new advances into knowledge of the divine. I do believe our
good Vehk is perhaps submitting himself to mortal hands finally,
though who can really tell?
As for our delightful "God of
Worms", I knew he would intervene. I am leery enough bringing Daedra
into this, but this presence... I dare say he has more reasons to be
here than mere amusement. We shall see I suppose.

Master
Stri'ker,
I thank you for your thoughts. You are correct
when you say that the Sermons take on a different meaning if you
think of the 'netchiman's wife' as the Heart of Lorkhan. If we take
that one step further, then are we to believe that unborn Vehk was
nurtured within the Heart itself? Or simply just nurtured by the
Heart? But *we* were told that Vehk comes in contact with the Heart
much later in his life. Quite an interesting topic.
Also,
your mentioned quote of "Some say Vivec at this point was shaped
like a star with its penumbra broken off; others, that it looked
like a revival of vanished forms" conjures images of Mnemoli in my mind. Perhaps the two are related in
some way.
Forgive me. I do not seek to detain you any
longer. Good luck on your quest. I know that you will be successful.

If you will
allow me to indulge myself once again, I have found some other
references to Vehk’s claims of Old and New Universes. From Sermon Two:
'From my side of the family,' the first cousin
said, 'I bring you a series of calamities that will bring about
the end of the universe.'
'And from my side,' the second
cousin said, 'I bring you all the primordial marriages that must
happen within them, each one.'
At this the egg laughed. 'I
am given too much to bear so young. I must have been born before.'
And then the sixth spirit appeared, the Black Hands
Mephala, who taught the Velothi at the beginning of days all the
arts of sex and murder. Its burning heart melted the eyes of the
netchiman's wife and took the egg from her belly with six cutting
strokes. The egg-image, however, could see into what it had been
before in ancient times, when the earth still cooled, and was not
blinded.
It joined with the Daedroth and took its former
secrets, leaving a few behind to keep the web of the world from
disentangling. Then the Black Hands Mephala put the egg back into
the netchiman's wife and blew on her with magic breath until the
hole closed up. But the Daedroth did not give her back her eyes,
saying:
'God hath three keys; of birth, of machines, and
of the words between.'
Within this Sermon the wise may
find one half of these keys.
According to the
Sermon, Vehk is visited by several spirits. The fourth and fifth
were cousins.
'From my side of the family,'
the first cousin said, 'I bring you a series of calamities that
will bring about the end of the
universe.' Here Vehk is given the knowledge
to bring about the end of the universe or "a" universe.
'And from my side,' the second
cousin said, 'I bring you all the primordial marriages that must
happen within them, each one.' The
aforementioned quote implies more than one universe.
At this the egg laughed. 'I am
given too much to bear so young. I must have been born before.'
And then the sixth spirit appeared, the Black Hands
Mephala, who taught the Velothi at the beginning of days all the
arts of sex and murder. Its burning heart melted the eyes of the
netchiman's wife and took the egg from her belly with six cutting
strokes. The egg-image, however, could see into what it had been
before in ancient times, when the earth still cooled, and was not
blinded. Here is the claim or the realization
that Vehk had been "born" before—in another Time-Place. In addition,
Vehk was able to see what occurred in ancient times or in the
alternate universe.
'God hath three keys; of birth,
of machines, and of the words between.'
Within this Sermon
the wise may find one half of these keys. To
this day, I still search this Sermon for "one half of these keys."

Master B, if I
may quote:
Quote:
You are correct when you say that the Sermons take on a
different meaning if you think of the 'netchiman's wife' as the
Heart of Lorkhan. If we take that one step further, then are we to
believe that unborn Vehk was nurtured within the Heart itself? Or
simply just nurtured by the Heart? But *we* were told that Vehk
comes in contact with the Heart much later in his life.
Not necessarily.
In light
of Vivec's recent comments from the Trial it becomes a much more
profound metaphor. He stated that he was in fact birthed from the
wishes of the mortal Vehk at the time of contact with the Heart.
Vivec the god was a part of the heart before that, then - a
fulfillment waiting to be wished for, existing within (Heart as Womb
- how long did the mortal Vehk's wish incubate there within the
Heart, I wonder?). He would have us believe that he himself, as a
god, was born into the world at the moment the mortal known as Vehk
accessed the Heart with Kagrenac's Tools, whereupon the mortal Vehk
(and his entire iteration of the universe) ceased to exist, replaced
by the newly birthed universe in which Vivec the God existed - which
fits nicely with the idea of the netchiman's wife as the Heart of
Lorkhan.
This idea that Vehk the God and Vehk the mortal
general (who fought alongside and then murdered Nerevar) are
seperate people is at the very heart of this Trial - guilt or
innocence for the crimes of murder and oath-breaking in the Battle
of Red Mountain rest on the truth of this very point, for if what
Vehk says can be substantiated as true - that he is indeed a
seperate being from the mortal Vehk, and in essence no less than a
mortal's wish fulfilled - then he cannot be held to Nerevar's murder
or the profane use of the Heart of Lorkhan.
Would you put a
work of fiction to Trial for its author's actions? Or vice versa? If
Vivec the god is a fiction from another mer's hopes and
dreams, as he claims to be (certainly an incredibly powerful, living
fiction, but a fiction nonetheless) then the prosecution for those
ancient crimes cannot hold. We cannot convict him for being the
fulfillment of a long-gone mortal’s dreams.
The crimes
against the Velothi peoples thereafter are another matter entirely,
however; though I think Lady Allerleirauh might be better suited to
address those points.
Now, if we only could speak to the lost
Vehk from this alleged lost universe, THEN we would have something,
wouldn't we? If what we have been told is in fact true, then perhaps
Azura might allow us such a revealing peek come the date of
summoning (though I wouldn't get my hopes up).

this is a shot in the dark but...
I've always thought this is a riddle to do with the
Guardians charges. I've only fumbled as to try and place it with the
charges though. I know that 3 is being a sacred number to Vehk
because he considers himself the Guardian Thief.

Can't we? That point is by no
means clear.
In any case, if Vehk the god contains no element
of the will of Vehk the mortal (and with this I do not agree) it can
be argued that he has no right to exist at all. It is one thing for
an author to make pretty stories; quite another to force all of us
to live in them.

At the request
of Louis D'Onus, I give you the little information I have on the
elusive beast mentioned...
King Dead Wolf-Deer is one of the
surviving monster-mer of the Wild Hunt that slew Borgas of Skyrim.
He is thus one of the oldest creatures in Tamriel, and therefore no
trifle. That he exists still to haunt High Rock thousands of years
later speaks to the danger of retrieving his
antler-crown.
Good luck.

I disagree.
The Sermon refers to "Solid sounds". That, I believe, is the
metaphor for the tones that the Dwarves extracted from the Heart.

Very true, and I have been
arguing on the side of the Tribunal all this time, but I see a new
truth. If the true Vehk of mortal blood is indeed dead, then we can
not punish his creation for his actions. Yet we do not know if Vehk
is truly "dead" or not.
Quote:

Little less danger than
removing the crown of Hircine. I do not envy you
Stri'Ker.
This trial would go along so much more smoothly
with the presence of an Aedra... no matter, the chances of that are
beyond slim.

Dear fellow
scholars,
My travels have been going well, thanks to the
teleporters found in the many Mages' Guilds throughout Tamriel. I
find myself in the Eastern Hammerfell town of Elinhir, waiting for
my turn to visit the very busy teleport assistant, who will send me
to my next destination. Master B has kept me appraised of the
current occurences in Vehk's Trial, making special note of the
information passed on by Ainoryl about the King Dead Wolf-Deer. I'm
beginning to think that this endeavour wasn't such a good idea after
all - either that, or I should have packed some more healing
potions!
So far, no-one has heard about the Wolf-Deer, or
they are too scared to talk about it. Perhaps when I get closer to
High Rock, information will be easier to find. With any luck, I'll
be able to get the antlers without killing the beast, although how
I'll do this, I do not know. If worse comes to worse, I can always
try to rouse a few Nords to help avenge the death of their beloved
King Borgas.
If you do not hear from me again, it has been an
honour to know each and everyone of you. As for now, into the mouth
of Oblivion I must go, and if all goes well, I will see you all
again before the 21st of First Seed has begun.
Until
then, Stri'Ker

temporary basis, awaiting word from my patron regarding a task of
"utmost importance". However, it seems that I may be free for some
days, not more than a week. Should you need any assistance, you may
seek me out. I have access to the Wayrest Royal Library and have
been known to wield a vicious sword, although that has, admittedly,
been sometime ago. Unfortunately, I have little knowledge about the
beast you seek. However, I am willing to aid a fellow scholar if I
can.
I am currently lodging at the Broken Eagle on Wayrest
Boulevard just before you reach Cumberland Square. I will be here,
or nearby, should you need assistance.
Regards,
Mafafu

To the
residents of Hogitum Hall,
I have been searching through the
lore of the various members of the Urshilaku Ashlanders. They wander
widely, so it is hard to track down the appropriate members. I have,
however, come upon a helpful soul, who believes he may have some
knowledge concerning the Wraithmail. I have hopes in this person,
who goes by the name of Solin.

Harold
Trontskii,
I do hope you know what you are getting yourself
into. There are some rather unpleasant Ashlanders still about (I
would consider the entire people unpleasant, but that's a rather
biased view I'll admit), even after the Nerevarine incident. I trust
your judgement with the Solin fellow, just be wary, the fact an
Ashlander is helping you raid one of their most beloved's tomb
should put you on your guard. I hope you return
safely.
Anxiously, Girai Harkaanius

To the
esteemed Council and Tribunal of the Hogithum Hall,
I stood
at the opening of this trial as the first stones were cast. I left
shortly there after to continue my studies on the Dwemer Glyphs and
have since tried to keep up with the progress of this event as much
as possible. Little did I expect to find Master Trontskii, someone
who I have worked with in the past, in the Ashlands serving the
members of judging Tribunal. After discussing the matter a few ideas
on the Wraith Mail came to mind.
Is it in fact a true
mail as in chain or ring mail? The only source I know of that
speaks of Alandro Sul's armor is The Five Songs of King
Wulfharth. I confess my knowledge of Dunmer and Chimer armor is
not the best (I am more comfortable with Imperial style armor
despite being Dunmer) but, I have not seen mail in excess on any
eastern designs I have come across. Could the Wraith Mail be
something more akin to bonemold? With perhaps some chain and actual
bone used in its creation perhaps a suit of bonemold armor could be
more properly described as "Wraith Mail."
Did the Wraith Mail
have any enchantments? The Five Songs of King Wulfharth claim
that Wulfharth could not strike Sul. Is this a property of the armor
or was Sul just agile?
If Sul died or perhaps grew tired of
his warrior life style does he yet have his armor? It is possible
his decendants may have it but, could it have changed owners in one
of the raids the ashlanders tribes make on one another? If it did it
might still be in use today. If not a search of any tomb or burial
site with relation to Sul might be necessary, which is sure to cause
some unpleasantness.
I believe I might be able to locate such
a strangely unique suit of bonemold, enchanted with a protective
spell, and that still in use today among the Ashlanders. I feel as
though I should put these questions and speculations before the
Council and Tribunal for conformation before I begin this search. If
it is not so, then perhaps Alandro Sul himself or maybe Vehk could
describe the suit in detail.

Dear Solyn,
Your assistance to those seeking the Wraithmail is greatly
appreciated, but to my knowledge, your assumption that the
Wraithmail is solely bonemould may be misleading. If you will take
for example the armor of the late Almalexia's personal guard, and
the other various High Ordinators of Mournhold. I assure you, while
perhaps a rarity, chain has been used in the east in a variety of
ways. While I may be incorrect, do not rule out the probability of
the armor being comprised of chain or rings.
Also,
I
worry for our brave friends, Mafafu and Stri'ker, who hunt the
antlers of the beast. May we all hope for their safe return.

Master Solyn
Kaerethi,
The Five Songs of King Wulfharth records three
powerful artifacts. One of them is the Wraith Mail, you know this.
Quote:
Nerevar carried Keening, a dagger made of the sound of the
shadow of the moons. His champions were Dumac Dwarfking, who
carried a hammer of divine mass, and Alandro Sul, who was the
immortal son of Azura and wore the Wraith Mail.
What I can learn from the
records of Nerevarine’s deeds, there are three major artifacts
played in the destruction of Dagoth Ur: Keening, Sunder and
Wraithguard. If my assumption is right, Nerevar carried the same
Keening, and a hammer of divine mass of Dumac would be Sunder. And
eventually this points us to Wraithguard. Is this artifact the same
or at least part of the Wraith Mail of Alandro Sul? Sadly, I cannot
study the Wraithguard as I cannot locate Nerevarine now. But from
some reports, I managed to learn that this Wraithguard is dwemeri in
origin like the rest of the three artifacts. The color of the
surface is golden colored like most of the dwemeri creation but
apparently time does not have an effect to the artifact. It is still
clean of rust after these thousands years, while the rest of dwemeri
creations are rusted and some are beyond repair. The records also
say that some important people had owned this Wraithguard. One of
them is Master Vehk. Perhaps Master Vehk can bring some light in
Master Solyn quest. One strange record says that Yagurm Bagarn the
last living dwarf had also touched this Wraithguard. If my
assumption is right, that Wraithguard is part of Wraith Mail, he is
the one that can bring some lights on your quest, Master Solyn
Kaerethi. I hope my limited knowledge can help you.
Edited: Just realised that Solyn is not in the hall.

I too have
thought on the relationship between the three artifacts mentioned in
The Five Songs of King Wulfharth, and the "Wraith Mail." It seems
entirely likely that this is in fact referring to the "Wraithguard."
Two things: The above book is known to contain several
inconsistencies. Also, as I am certain Solyn can verify, the
Wraithmail specific to Alando-Sul has merit. Perhaps "Wraithguard"
was part of this wraithmail, is unrelated, or simply is the
wraithmail. I will gather more information on the subject.

Turdas, 4th of
First Seed
Dear Stri'ker,
I hope this letter finds
you well. At the moment, things are relatively calm here at the
Hall. I know it bothers you when I do it, but lurking in the corner
of the room with an Invisibility spell cast does have its uses. I
know...I know...but I usually reappear when I have something to say
(If I didn't, could you imagine people's faces if a voice came out
of thin air). As promised, I do try to stop in each day so I can
keep up with the proceedings. If anything of interest comes up, I'll
be sure and let you know.
Please do not hesitate in using
the enchanted items that I gave to you. I know how you feel
sometimes about Magicka, but I assure you, some of my creations do
have value. At the very least, I hope you are using the Amulet of
Detect Creature that I gave to you. Trust me! It's nothing like the
Orb of Uryes.
Good luck in your quest,
~B

Fellow
Scholars,
I have hastily written this letter in hopes that
it reaches you soon, for it bears both good and terrible news. But
let me start from the beginning.
A sudden knock on my door
in the middle of the night awoke me from my slumber. Seeing that it
was Stri'Ker, I let him in and discovered that he had found the
hiding place of the King Dead Wolf-Deer and asked for my assistance
in retrieving the antlers. I readily agreed, even though it would be
dangerous and without much hesitation, we were on our way.
A
little while later, we were in a wooded area at the base of the
Wrothgarian Mountains. The trampled area was an ominous sign of what
lurked nearby. And that was when we saw it. I cannot describe it to
you, nor can I forget what it looked like, but we both knew that it
was the King Dead Wolf-Deer! Our plan was simple: we would attack it
from both sides and hopefully bring it down by surprise. Alas, just
before we were in position, the Wolf-Deer spotted me lurking in the
bushes and turned. (I'm afraid I'm quite not as stealthy as my
Khajiiti friend)
What happened next was almost a blur. The
large antlers on it's head pointed in my direction and the large
beast charged. Before I knew what was happening, the creature was
almost upon me. And that was when Stri'Ker, who I had then forgotten
about, lept across and sent me sprawling out of the way. Alas, he
wasn't quite so lucky, and the Wolf-Deer's antlers crashed into the
Khajiit's body and then into a tree! Then, with his life ebbing
away, Stri'Ker stabbed the creature's head with his Ebony dagger.
This caused the animal to writhe in agony and I seized the
opportunity to hack the creature with my sword. The already wounded
creature was unable to defend against my onslaught and was
eventually killed by my hand.
I went over to Stri'Ker's limp
and broken form on the ground and his last words still echo in my
mind: "Take the... antlers back. Do not... let my death... be in
vain..." and he was no more.
I tried every restoration spell
I knew, but he was too badly wounded for my meager skills to prevent
his death.
So I bring with me the antlers and these sad
tidings,
mafafu

these are deeply sorrowful tidings indeed. What a price has been
payed for these horns; so great a price that all we who knew fair
Stri'Ker shall feel their bitter bite evermore.

Vivec. Because
of you, one who was a gifted scholar and a noble friend is dead. Add
this to this list of your crimes.
We cannot decently continue
this trial until we have given the dead the proper ceremonies. Until
the body of our fallen friend is returned to us, these proceedings
are suspended.
Hail, Stri'Ker! Let all who gather here speak
his praises.

Had it not been for his quick and selfless act, it
would have been me lying dead by the beast, or perhaps both of us. I
am most grateful and most sorrowful. Stri'ker, may your name be long
raised in song and remembered well, as a hero and a friend.

The air in
this hall seems to have grown heavy with the weight of this loss.
Perhaps the gravity of this trial is being wholly realised now, for
the first time since its commencement. I cannot properly express the
grief I feel in Stri'Kers' passing, or the guilt I acknowledge. But
grief and guilt may fill this hall, and not without cause. Perhaps
now, with the loss of our brave and honorable friend, we re-evaluate
the consequences of an event such as this. What costs can there be,
in a trial of the gods?
The respect and awe I have for
Stri'Ker and Mafafu, individuals willing to give their life in the
persuit of knowledge and (perhaps) justice, is vast. But I must warn
you all of the days to come. Know what it is that you meddle in,
this gods' game. The blood on our hands, is not the last this hall
will see. Are all of you willing to pay the price for truth?
May our friend Stri'Ker be forever remembered as a soul with
such dedication and bravery, that he would give himself utterly for
that which he held most dear. Can there possibly be a greater
display of honor?

Truely this is
a great loss. While I am deeply saddened upon his most honorable
death. I must insist that others be more cautious in the future and
perhaps grouping for the most dangerous of these missions is in
order.

I...cannot
express my grief. Nor can I sing great praise until those...those
wicked grey wings have flown more south. Blessed are you, brave
khajiit, blessed even as now damned. For cruel mercy is right, I
*did* damn you. I cannot express...I now fold myself into the nil,
to know a bit of where you are, and if I were to give myself new
eyes, for I could give myself new eyes, I would still be blind with
tears. Grief is my stillborn sibling. I cannot abide it. I will
return with great song.

Ah yes, add another crime to
Lord Vehk's countless wrong doings. Why, was it not Lord Vehk who
sent this warrior cat out to do the Tribunal's bidding afterall? I
do hope this Tribunal finds apt time after judgement to be tried for
their own guiltless mistakes. Perhaps then the Tribunal can accept
the guilt in sending a beast off to his death, committed to a task
they had dealt him with. It is far too easy to blame another when
you have not ownership of your own guilty conscience.
And
perhaps in death, this Sti'Ker will realise what a stubborn tool he
was to accept this Tribunal's quest. I shall let him know that this
Tribunal can not admit their guilt to his death, but instead, would
pass it on to Lord Vehk. For then, the true aura of this Tribunal,
his "friends", shall be known to him, for him to ponder for his
eternity in death.
I shall give leave now, and allow this
Tribunal to continue to manufacture more crimes for Lord Vehk. I
shall carry with me your message of Sorrow and Love for your thick
coated pet and companion.

My heart is
heavy with the burden of knowledge that it was I who prompted brave
Stri’Ker to head off in search of the Beast, in my zeal for the
collection of these items – the weight of blame is not with Vehk;
but our brave Khajiiti brother was aware of the grave danger of his
task, and of the idea that he may not return. Let us hold a feast in
his honor, and call to memory the many great services as a scholar
of the Elder Scrolls that he brought unto us. And let us honor his
memory in seeing that justice is done here for the greater good of
all the people of Morrowind.
I leave you now so that I may
atone in my own way.
Fortune speed you back to Morrowind,
Mafafu.
Hail, Stri’Ker!

"Residents of
Hogithum hall,
I give condolences for the lose of the noble
Khajiit Stri'Ker. I wish I had more elegant words to express, but I
nearly suffered the same fate as our comrade. I reached Solstheim
five days after setting forth, as I had trouble persuading boats I
had permission. In the end, I had to take a smuggler's ship and turn
it in to the authorities. It turns out the Neveravine had left the
fort, heading north, three days earlier. I headed for Thirsk,
intedning to arrive before sunset, but Azura pounced on me.
Stupidly, I had ignored the sataet of the moon and when I saw a
young man in the forest I thought nothing of it. He charged at me,
and not seeing any weapon, I stood my ground. The moon rose, and I
was so shocked at the werewolf I didn't strike. He knocked at my
sword, sending it flying, and savaged me. Thankfully, the nords had
used silver as the hilt of my dagger, so I held him off long enough
to reach my sword, and I slew him. I was badly hurt, but the Thirsk
Armorer found me and helped me there. I should be able to continue
my search in the morning, after the healer has seen
me.
Yours, -Lugagius, Imperial Scholar"

A sad day
indeed. I now regret not asking Stri'ker if he could use my
assistance in taming such a beast, no doubt my Spear who's mercy is
bitter would have aided us well against such a beast. Instead I
chose to bury my head deeper and deeper into my studies.

To the
reisdents of Hogithum Hall,
I have not received many of your
correspondence recently, but I have read enough. May Stri'ker find
that which follows his time upon this Plane pleasant. I do not know
the customs of the Khajiti, save that they are buried in cairns, but
I said a small prayer to the Divines for him.
My adventures
recently led me to the Urshilaku burial caverns. An elder mer of the
Urshilaku related an old story concerning the ancestor of
Sul-Matuul, who may have been Alandro Sul. It seems that the
ancestor departed from the Urshilaku at some time to parts unknown,
but left his armor, warspear, and shield to the mer who was believed
to be his son.
The lad was a great warrior for his time, but
eventually died during a pointless squabble with a mabrigash. He was
entombed deep in the burial caverns, with the his father's spear,
shield, and armor. At some time, he had apparently had a daughter,
who continued the line.
After several hours of searching, I
discovered a portion of ruins where Sul-Senipul, father of
Sul-Matuul, had been buried. Casting a spell of Detect Enchantment,
I realized a powerful object laid buried nearby. With the help of
Solin, who had assisted in the search, we found the tomb of the
ancestor, hidden beneath a stone floor. The body was naught but ash
and bones, but the armor remained intact. The armor appears to be of
some form of Dwemer construction. Perhaps it was indeed related to
Wraithguard. Perhaps it was the experimental stage before Kagrenac
developed the gauntlet.
It took some time, but I managed to
remove a single ring of the armor. They are not true rings, but are
rather S-shaped. The shield and spear, both untouched by time, I
left alone, and I did my best to disturb the body as little as
possible. I am now making preparations to return. I only hope that
Sul-Matuul will not realize I have desecrated the tomb of his
ancestor, though he himself had the Nerevarine steal Sul-Senipul's
bow.

* the
librarian steps forward, he looks so broken, his eyes fill with
tears *
This is very sad day to my life. Of my long life as
Altmer, vampire and back again, I never cry as hard as this day when
I heard the terrible news. I propose to the council to honor this
day and dedicate this very day for Stri’Ker only. I cannot give a
proper name for the day however.
I am sorry but burden of
this grief is still very hard within me, I shall withdraw to my
chamber now.

God of Worms,
the stench of the oegnithr you carry upon your clothing sickens me.
Have you no remorse? I certainly am no match for the likes of you,
but I am in no mood to hear your speeches. Leave us mortals with our
grief.
My brothers and sisters, this truly is a horrific day
indeed. I have no one to blame but myself for Stri'Ker untimely
death. Perhaps if I would have gone with them, it could have been
prevented. I could have Paralyzed the beast before it had a chance
to run Stri'Ker through. Or maybe my Restoration skills combined
with those of Mafafu could have mended his grievous wounds.
But no! I sat here with my face buried in books, searching
for evidence of Vehk's claims. My search has proven fruitless at
best, which makes my decision not to accompany them that much worse.
If blame is to be divvied out, then I deserve the lion's share.
Beloved Stri'Ker, you shall be missed. But alas, death is
not the end. Your body was merely a shell; a shell that you
inhabited for a brief but glorious moment. I am comforted in knowing
that you will live on in the afterworld.

All these
tidings have been heavy, I fear we did not realize what we were
tampering with. I did not know Stri'Ker well, but he was a better
mortal than I. I had indeed a part in his death, for it was only
after my cowardice of desiring to stay that he decided he would go
in my place.
Quote:
If no other option comes about, I will go, though I hope it
will not be neccessary.
It perhaps would have been me
that would have suffered this fate. Nonetheless, this is what we
have entered into. This is the fate we have chosen, and rightfully
so, for we are willing to sacrifice ourselves to grasp the truth for
others. May our loss be Tamriel's gain.
In conclusion, I hail
Stri'Ker, though he be in a more joyful state now than we are. May
we press on with all the more determination now as we seek the
answers that have been held back from the people of Tamriel for far
too long. Let us hope it is in our power.

Though my
mentor's death was as tragic as it was untimely, do not blame
yourself. Stri'Ker went knowing full well the possible outcomes of
the quest. But he cherished knowledge above all else, and he
believed that there is no more noble pursuit than dying for the
truth. We should not only mourn his passing, but remember him for
what he was, and what he stood for.

Vhek could
hardly be acused of sending Striker to death. He was allways aware
of the risks. LOL this will be a looooooong session before vhek gets
judged of anything. Its better if i buy some rooms and make
resrvations for a couple of days in a local tavern. At least im not
paying it all from my pocket. Some table dance khajit pussies would
be nice, what dyou guys think ?
By
the way, dint vhek said he was responsible for bringing back the
Nerevarine or it was just my imagination ? Without a scribe to
register the works of this Tribunal this will get into a mess very
soon.
So vhek if you were a God and are no more and the link
to the hearth was severed then the God is no more and who is this
3rd vhek ? Not that it maters anyway since there is no possible way
to track the soul of the first vhek. Unless the ghost of the first
vhek could be summoned here to answer some questions.
Hey
Manimarco be a good guy, i mean God, and ressurrect Striker would
you ? After all we cant just let Striker dye without earing a word
from its own mouth and ghosts cant roleplay very well if you guys
know what i mean.

OK people I
dont want to be accused of spoiling your fun but since i started
this all stuff as a roleplaying thread it is to be expected that we
followed some good roleplaying rules. As a good rule its not nice to
take decisions on one side only and force others to go your way. The
spirit of role-playing is that you work together. So I think that
Striker should have had the last word on his dead and not taken on
him without choice. So I ask of you that change that unfortunate
part and carry on. As for vhek choice on the conditions of the
Tribunal it was taken on his side only but i dont mind about it.
Vhek is a cool guy. Thnaks Archie for sending me that message
explaining the all thing.

Greetings to
the Hall,
It is my hope that this letter will arrive on the
heals of Master Trontskii's. It would seem that woe and misfortune
do not part company when visiting the servants of this Tribunal. I
would suggest that Mafafu seek out Cherim of Elsweyr (if he is still
making his tapestries) and tell him of noble Stri'Ker. It is also my
understanding that we shall be joined by his student. I extend a
hearty welcome to him.
To Ainoryl,
Ahh, it appears
that my haste conspired with my laxity of mind to betray me. I did
not intend to claim the Dunmer did not or seldom used chain or that
it bonemold was the sole answer. I'd elaborate further but, it
appears that this disscusion is obsolete due to this new and
exciting Dwemer discovery.
To Xanathar,
It is my
opinion that if The Five Songs of King Wulfharth did refer to
Wraithguard as the Wraith Mail then it is in error as it is my
understanding that the artifact Sunder cannot be used without grave
consequence when the Wraithguard is not being worn. The Five Songs
of King Wulfharth contains several inconsistencies and would not be
my first choice as a source to work from in the finding of the
Wraith Mail, it was the only one I could think of. Perhaps a
connection between the Wraith Mail and the Wraithguard does exist,
it is a pity Master Trontskii and myself could not study it in depth
to even see if the possibility of Mythoepoeic enchantments similar
to Wraithguard's were present. Such study would have undoubtedly
been a great disturbance. This find along with this discussion have
given me many thoughts. Perhaps the Wraith Mail was a gift from
Dunmac, akin to True Flame and Hopesfire, to Nerevar's Shield
Bearer.

Master
Solyn,
I am fully aware of the inconsistencies of Five Songs
of King Wulfharth, yet this is the only source that brings the issue
of Wraith Mail. The Nords record correctly two artifacts of
Nerevarine; Sunder and Keening. The Five Songs of King Wulfharth,
however, does not record the enchantments and the limitations of the
artifacts. The song also does not record Kagrenac as the true owner
of the artifacts, as we now know.
The last artifact, Wraith
Mail has the almost the same name as Nerevarine’s Wraithguard. What
I have written in my last letter is truly my speculation, I cannot
prove anything to you yet. What can I suggest now while we are on
the subject of this seemingly dwemeri creation, is to bring this
artifact you and Master Trontskii found as soon as you can to the
assembly here. I am really interested to see and study it. And if it
is really needed, I will go to Corprusarium to pay visit to Yagrum
Bagarn and asking his opinion on this matter.
Master
Attrebus,
I would like to express my condolence for noble
Stri’Ker, your mentor and our friend. As the council has decided,
let’s the day is known as Dusk and Dusk until the end of time.

We have
arrived as quickly as possible. A spell of Mark before I departed
and a casting of Recall from the caverns enabled simple transport. I
surrender now the artifact to your investigation.

to have a coloration darker than that of most Dwemer artifacts, but
shows no outward signs of rust or decay:
As this day of
mourning comes to an end, let me add my true regrets. I was too
distant and engrossed before to speak more of my feelings. Stri'ker
was a great scholar, who I wish I could have known better. In truth,
I often allowed my thoughts of him slip away as I thought more of
other scholars, but he was always there, a presence that influenced
me. I will never forget this Khajiit. His life was good, and his
death had meaning. His apprentice carries on his knowledge and
legacy. Should I die, I can only hope the same can be said of me.

This
grief-stricken day of Dusk and Dusk has come and gone, and it is now
time for us to forge anew. Unfortunately, I must bid all of you
farewell for a few days. I am overcome with great sadness at the
loss of one whom I have known for years. We first met back in the
days of the Modern Adventurer, and I have many fond memories that I
hope will sustain me for years to come. In solitude, I must reflect
upon the decisions that I have made over the course of the last
week. I shall return when I have spoken with my ancestors.
Until then, Nigedo and Allerleirauh, I bless you with Luck
and Intelligence.

"Residents of
Hogithum Hall,
After being healed, I proceeded with all haste
north, to the skaal village. The residents of Thirsk tell me he left
that that way, nigh on three days ago. I though I would find him
there, but it does not appear so. He left three days ago, returned
and left yesterday. Korst Wind-eye tells me he seemed anxious, and
searching for something. Korst tells me he left in the direction of
Mortrag Glacier, so I will have to leave in the
morning,

I am saddened
to hear of the fall of a fellow warrior Khajiit, but it is good to
know he did so in battle, and for a good cause. While few of my
bretheren openly trust the furless humans and elves, he was willing
to extend friendship to your kind and understanding. A rare thing,
to be treasured. I trust you will honor his memory properly, as it
should be. He was an example to us in these bitter times.

Master
Lugagius:
In all the grief over Stri’Ker’s valiant sacrifice
for this Trial I had completely overlooked your last missive.
Solstheim is a dangerous place, even now that Hircine has lifted his
influence from the island since his alleged defeat at the hands of
the Nerevarine. I am endlessly gratified that you have proven a
match for the harsh snowy wastes thus far.
Your latest
message troubles me, however… Be mindful that you are not searching
for the Nerevarine, but for Azura’s Star, which may likely have been
left or lost in a cave somewhere. The Skaal people would be the most
likely to have seen or felt its presence, particularly Korst
Wind-Eye, and all reports from the Isle of Solstheim since the Blood
Moon have said that the Nerevarine disappeared months ago, shortly
after delivering news of Hircine’s defeat to Fort Frostmoth, the
people of Thirsk, and the Skaal village. I fear that either the
Skaal are sending you on a wild goose chase or… perhaps something
more sinister is afoot.
I have heard many conflicting
reports on the gender and blood ancestry of the Nerevarine – as many
swear to me that they met a beautiful Breton man as have told me
that they saw a hulking Orc woman bearing the Moon-And-Star - but I
do not think it is the Nerevarine you are tracking. Falx Carius at
Frostmoth sent word to mainland Morrowind that he had been involved
in some bizarre gladiatorial affair beneath the Mortrag Glacier,
where you now head, and I cannot imagine that anything but danger
awaits you there in the guise of your quarry. Take care, sera – be
ready for anything. Do not take your own safety too lightly. You
have but to say the word and I and a team of retainers will meet you
there to ensure that we all live to delve another day.

Lord
Trontskii: Your efforts are truly wondrous. And though the cost
was high, at this rate we shall have possession of all the necessary
items for summoning well in advance of the Trial’s recommencement.
Well done.
We now have 3 of the 4 necessary items for
summoning accounted for. The 4th remains beyond our grasp for now,
but I’ll die before I see it lost to the winds. We’ve come too far
to miss this chance at revelation.
Unless I am called to
Solstheim, I will away for two days time – when I return on 7th of
First Seed I shall have a surprise for all gathered. Be strong, my
friends in the Council – The Trial of Vehk is of great spiritual
significance to the whole of Tamriel, and I believe that the future
of Nirn itself will be effected by the quality of our actions
here.
Daedra speed you all.

There is a
reason that there are so many conflicting reports as to the identity
of the Incarnate. I wrote of this in jest of the 36 lessons, and a
mockery of those same, but still explaining much more than I knew at
the time I wrote it.
You might be able to find the
'Incarnate' if that is your wish. You will need:
The Blood
of a Live Dragon Ashes of a Dead Incarnate A Shattered
Mirror
That is all that I can help you with. There is no
gurantee that you can reach the Incarnate, it will just show you the
current location, if it works. I don't know how many times it will
be of use.

"Residents of
Hogithum Hall,
There is no longer any need for speculation on
the whereabouts of Azura's star. I have found it!
I left the
skaal village in the morning, with several warriors and
Korst-Windeye. We left heading towards Mortrag Glacier, following
the tracks of the incarnate. We soon found the tracks looping back
and following another direction. Korst wanted to follow that way,
but I paused. If my suspicions were correct, the incarnate would
have been searching for the star at the glacier, and, with great
supposition, the wrong time! I continued on with only Korst (the
others were to try and track the Nevarevine). We reched the now
glacier at dusk, and lo, near the centere there was an illumination.
We managed to cut the star out, and I shall be back at the hall in
three days.
Yours, -Lugagius, Imperial Scholar"

It would seem
all is near ready. It is because of this I take my leave of you for
two days. I've been studing some information relating to recent

possible.
Many good wishs to you all, hold on to endurance as

Kind Masters
and Mistresses,
This one respectfully wishes to speak.
I have long and long been a traveller and observer in many
parts of Tamriel, most recently here in this Hall. I previously
never felt compelled to speak of my observations here, but that has
changed. First I beg your indulgence for a brief introduction, so
that you may perhaps better understand why I now stand before this
illustrious assembly.
When I was still very young I began
having exceptionally vivid dreams. Some of these were very pleasant,
others were very frightening, and all were very confusing. Just
before the time of my Becoming, an old sage of my kind revealed to
me that I am a Soundwalker. For those who do not know, to my Marsh
brothers and sisters this means--among other things--a seer, of
sorts. Some Soundwalkers may be shown visions by the Voices of the
Hidden (some say that they are from the Hist, but no one knows for
sure). I have been told that this is a very rare gift, yet I seem to
be a recipient of this "gift"... I often feel it is better to call
it a curse. But I digress.
I "see" many things that others
do not, but I sometimes do not understand all that they mean,
despite my education as a mage having been expanded by ongoing
mystic teachings from various cultures. In most cases, the things I
see seem not to be especially important in the larger scheme of
things. I stand here today because of a particular vision that has
haunted my dreams for several consecutive nights. I am hopeful that
someone here might help me to learn its meaning. My mind has tried
to dismiss the images as yet another relatively minor vision, but my
heart tells me that it may beg closer attention this time. It may
affect us all. Then again, it might be an ordinary dream, after all.
In my vision I saw a multitude of young, from all of
Nirn's races, gathered in a large room. They were happily playing a
game, or perhaps several groups were playing at different games.
Although the room was extremely and unnaturally large, it seemed to
me that there were too many children there than could truly fit
inside. Yet they were all inside, anyway. I should have felt
delighted by this apparently magickal room and the children playing
within, but something... Something unknown was behind (inside?) this
seemingly pleasant vista. I began to feel uncertain... disoriented.
As I watched them play, some of the children's faces changed
into other faces right before my eyes. Then it seemed that some were
not children at all. There was even one who appeared as both Infant
and Ancient at the same time, but when I looked closer I couldn't
see that one at all until I looked away again. It also seemed that
what I took for children's squeals of playful laughter might really
be sighs of despair or awe, and screams of horror or pain. Yet there
might have been laughter, too, cruel and jeering.
Then I
heard a sound in the distance. I turned to a window that showed me
nothing but my own face. And the sound... At first I thought it was
the low rumbling thunder of a storm on the horizon. It gradually
grew louder until finally it became a great roaring, and I thought
that perhaps a dragon or some other beast must be approaching. I
turned back to warn the children, but all I saw was the night sky,
empty and vast. Then even that faded, and I suddenly awoke.
Perhaps I already understand part of this, but I would ask
for other interpretations before telling my thoughts on it.

Welcome,
Soundwalker, to this hall and this gathering.
This is a
puzzling vision. The more puzzling since it would seem to be fed
upon your witness of events here.
Are we the children in your
dream? It would be foolhardiness to suppose that these proceedings
carry no lasting importance. Yet it would seem foolish to guess
blindly at their broadest mythic significance.
The God Of
Worms would skulk and tattle that we are meddlers in forces beyond
mortal control, casting long shadows of doubt across our best
intentions.
What we do here, we try to do honorably. What may
come of it is yet to be seen. But this omen you bring to us is
disturbing indeed.

Ah, my old
friend. I thought I saw you in the crowd, but it's so dark
back there, and it has been long since we last met. I'm glad to see
you alive and well after all this time!
I'm no mystic, so I
don't know whether or not the images do indeed mean anything. I'll
leave that to you and others to learn. But could it be that you've
been having these strange dreams simply because of the recent
stresses felt by so many in this Hall? At any rate, if you'll pardon
my frankness, I think we could all use some rest for our weary
minds. As soon as our duties allow a brief respite, perhaps we might
meet at a nearby public house to discuss old times and new gossip.

You are wise,
Master Nigedo. I thank you for both your insight and your welcome.
I do feel that perhaps we are the children in the dream. But
as you hinted, that may be only a fraction of the ultimate meaning
of that particular dream-symbol (if it does indeed mean anything
significant at all). I also believe you are right to point out that
we should neither ignore these recent events (or omens) nor try to
confine them within some erroneous boundary. The past and the
present are difficult enough to fold into our cage of accurate
interpretations; little wonder that the meaning of the future eludes
our snares so well. *smile* I will ponder this further.
And
Mistress Tegger, my old friend, we are indeed well met again. I will
gladly accept your kind offer of hospitality as soon as time
permits. *smile* For the present, however, I will take your
suggestion and try to get some sleep. As you might imagine, my
nights' rest has been much broken of late.

Thats pretty
funny cause I had a dream too. Since you already told me yours, I'll
tell you mine.
It was about this Hall and its subject would
not stray to far from the subject that is most important. It also
entailed that those whom speak have more then a hair-thin relation
to a hardly 'child' subject. I also dreamed that I would not be
considered a child aswell as others whom might take offense to that,
especially in light of a serious situation of losing one of their
good friends on such a serious matter. I also dreamed that alittle
more respect be given out to the establishment of this Court and its
members, then to just speak out of turn on barely related subjects
or dreams. I would hope that there was someone to enforce that in
this courtroom before it degenerates into a circus. But, my dream
like yours, has little to do with this Hall. And so keeping it to
myself would have been the proper thing to do.

My heart is
made heavy to hear that I have caused offense. I certainly did not
intend any disrespect, but I have no control over the content of my
dream. In the telling of it, my clumsy hands have fallen against the
sensitive strings of the heart. I would beg forgiveness for
that.
I would not have spoken if I did not believe that the
vision might be directly related to these proceedings. Even so, I
would gladly withdraw my words if I were able, if that would remove
any pain I have caused. I offer my most humble apologies as I
withdraw from this Hall entirely.

Soundwalker,
we are all children here, even the gods. And all of us are greater,
far, than we know; not only the gods. I believe you have glimpsed,
for a moment, a little of that majesty. To speak of such things is
usually unwise - it frightens without informing - but there may be
times when such speech is needed. Tell someone - in private, if you
will not return to our Hall - if you learn more of the dragon of
your visions.
Lugagius, the recovery of Azura's Star is
indeed good news, especially following on the heels of such fell
news as the death of Stri'Ker in the recovery of the antlers. I
trust we all know the Star, and need not confirm its identity.
Please deliver it into Ainoryl's keeping on your return.
Ainoryl, how goes the matter of the verification of the

I am making

me, a pleasant, female voice. While I am not around, the sailors
inform me, they hear faint shrieks and thumps coming from my cabin,
but when they check nothing is there. I had not examnied the star
too closely, not wishing to be tempted by it. I then decided to,
partly to see if it was the cause of these and partly (I shamefully
admit) out of lust. for it's power. I discovered that the Incarnate
had trapped a monstrously powerful soul, which is tempting me to
release it. I would surmise it to be one of the more powerful,
lesser Daedra, but somehow, I don't think so. I should not indulge
my hunches, as they do not become a scholar, but somehow... Bah! The
sufferings of a vain mind. I shall steel myself against it, and
hopefully I shall reach the hall before I go too
far.
Yours,
-Lugagius, Imperial

Lugagius, i
would not claim to be an expert on the Daedra, but i fear that what
you hear from within the star may be a Dark Seducer, one of the more
intelligent and feared of the lesser Daedra. If so, i would advise
extreme caution on your part, perhaps you have a powerful locking
spell to put on the chest to stop yourself or the sailors from being
tempted to release such a foe??

Bah, the
dragon speaks to all but not everyone listens. Dreams, Portents,
Signs. They are all around us screaming, can you not hear them
?
Soundwalkers dream is of more consequence than anyone dares
to guess....... And related to theese 'proceedings' far more than
any would like to know.

My return
seems to be at an uncomfortable time. I would like to repeat what I
said earlier, that we indeed are meddling in affairs of the divine,
or should I say the ex-divine. Yet because our accused is mortal (at
this point), it is in our right to do what we are doing. Let us hold
fast to our goal, no matter the actions of the dark powers.

How do you
suppose that because a once-god is now mortal, it is thus your
'right' to put him to trial? Vehk is on trial because he wills it. I
think it would be wise to keep that in mind.
I do however
agree, we should hold fast to our goal. I commend everyone in this
hall in their efforts, especially our Tribunal, and all those who
have risked and sacrificed to recover the items for Hogithum.
I am still busy at work on the ringlet. The work should be
done very soon.

After much
time and meditation, I have returned. The Ancestors have spoken. I
have made the difficult decision to continue with these proceedings.
I had considered abandoning my research altogether, but I realized
that such a choice would not have been what Stri'Ker would have
wanted me to do. So, in memory of my lost Khajiit brother, I will
forge ahead.
I want to congratulate those of you who have
successfully procured the gifts for Azura. Your bravery and
determination are assets to us all. The Time of Summoning is almost
upon us.
Now, I would like to address the Argonian.
Soundwalker, dreams are powerful forces. I am skilled in mysticism,
but I must confess that I am more than a little puzzled by your
vision. I will not profess to fully understand any dream, let alone
yours. A few things strike me: This room seems symbolic of something
greater. Perhaps it is a representation of the Mundus that we all
inhabit; our lives, like games, are in motion. With that being said,
it could be reasonable to guess that you may have glimpsed at the
past and the future intersecting. It is unclear if this event has
occurred or if it will occur. Your vision simply could have been a
warning to us all. The reason I bring up the warning issue is
because of your comments on the sound you heard toward the end of
your dream. I would have liked to have known what was beyond that
window, too. No matter. Unfortunately, an impending storm and the
coming of the Dragon are obvious references and perhaps ill omens,
as was earlier suggested. I do, however, thank you for sharing your
insight, and I hope you will change your mind and continue to visit
this hall.
Before I turn the floor back over, I have two
additional requests. First, could someone repeat the list of
questions we have decided to ask Azura. And second, I ask if there
is anything that this Tribunal wishes me to do.
I anxiously
await your reply,

Welcome back
to this company B. I am pleased that you have decided to continue
this journey with us.

For the first, I do not believe
that we have an affirmed list of questions. I am sure that Phil will
confirm this.
For the second, perhaps you would be kind
enough to take the lead in compiling such a list. I believe that
your level-headed impartiality would be most effective for that
task.

But of course my good Ainoryl.
Lork Vehk wills those who would once follow and honor him, to justly
judge him and innevitably condemn him. Given his past deeds do
indeed prove him to be the barbaric overlord he is being tried for,
it is only right that this Tribunal posts a great punishment upon
him. For, the mortal leaders of this existence will see it fit to
condemn such a man, but an even greater man such as Lord Vehk? I do
await The Lady of The Mortal's "Truth", Azura, to enlighten this
perhaps, jaded congregation. Do understand, if the Tribunal finds
Lord Vehk to be a blackened light among brightness, I, the King of
Worms shall applaud thee for carrying out the task at hand. If Lord
Vehk prevails, I can only begin to foresee the smile he shall wear
for eternity.
And do know, my good Tribunal, no harm has or
will come to your companion, Stri'Ker. For, his spirit is far too
noble for my tamperings. His soul rests upon a pedastal of
brilliance, of which not even the likes of the King of Worms can
gaze upon. I am stunned that many would have me as a "thief" of
souls.

I confirm that
no definitive list of questions for the Daedra Prince Azura has been
finalised - only two weeks remain so i would suggest that the forum
hurries to a decision on this matter!

Say, rather,
that two weeks still remain. Surely there are more questions that
you desire to ask. Azura's time with us will be short; the Tribunal
must decide what questions are worthy of her attention. But the
Council's input is still very much needed.

As you put it,
my lady, two weeks still remain
The
questions that have been proposed so far:
Was Nerevar
indeed slain by the Tribunal, and if so, how was Vehk involved?
proposed by TSBasilisk
Is the Vehk we see before us -
stripped of his stolen Godhood - the same being that existed before
he used the Heart?
What happened to the Dwemer?
both proposed by the fallen Stri'Ker
In your esteem, have
the Tribunal paid for their crimes or the crimes of their mortal
forebears? If not, with the Chimer of Resdayn transformed into the
Dunmer of Morrowind, Sotha Sil slain at the hands of Almalexia, and
Almalexia slain at the hands of the now-missing Nerevarine, what
manner of penance could remain for Vehk with his divinity now
shorn?
Why have you taken such offence to Vehk's
actions if he as a god has done so much to benefit the people you
"love"? both proposed by Girai
Should I be found
guilty of past transgressions in a world that no longer lives, how
might I find my absolution? proposed by Vehk
The
Tribunal 'stole' godhood to help the Chimer people. Here you plot to
steal worship from the Tribunal, to steal the Dunmer's hearts as you
and Boethia did before, so many thousands of years ago. How are you
any different than Vehk, if not more deceitful and selfish?
proposed by Helton
In becoming gods of the Chimer, did
Vivec and the other Tribunes take upon themselves the spiritual
welfare of the Chimer, thereby removing the Chimer from the divine
stewardship of Mephala, Azura and Boethiah? proposed by Nigedo
(for Sheogorath, be he said to hold it for Azura if it was not
answered)
I think thats all so far, i apologise sincerely if
i have missed anybody out of the proceedings, i am new to the court
reporter game after all

Mine was
similar to Nigedo's:
Did the three Daedra Princes known
as the Anticipations, Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala, in fact bless
the ascension of the Tribunal to godhood? Are the words of the
Tribunal Temple regarding the Anticipations blasphemy, or worship?
It seems to me that we should refrain from asking
questions which insult Azura. She will be summoned, but still
powerful, and not our slave. The matter at hand is the guilt of
Vivec: his crimes against Nerevar, and against Azura, and against
his own spirit, and against the order of the world. And against the
people of Morrowind, insofar as Azura may be presumed to have a
vested interest in them.
I have a second question.
Vivec has admitted that he broke his oath to Nerevar not
to use the Tools of Kagrenac, an oath sworn on the name of Azura.
What is the penalty for such a broken oath?

As you say,
Allerleirauh, the oath that the three advisers of Nerevar swore,
they swore by Azura.
I do not see that we have grounds to
recriminate Vehk further on that issue since their immediate offense
was to have profaned name of Azura upon whom they swore. It is
surely for Azura to punish mortals that profane her
name.
However, I would have confirmation from Azura, if she
is willing, why the sin of AMSIVI was apparently visited upon the
children of Morrowind.
Vehk has said that in the instance of
ALMSIVI's apotheosis at the Heart-Spring of godhood the history of
Mundus was changed from eternity to eternity. If this is so, then my
reasoning is that the desire of ALMSIVI to have always been the gods
of the Chimer, born of the breaking of an oath and the betrayal of a
king, was poisoned at root and thus poisoned in
fulfillment.
This could be regarded as a crime against the
Chimer, that saw their end and immediate replacement by the Dunmer.
Not the breaking of the oath per se, but the divine ownership of a
people through an illegitimate means tainted by oathbreaking and
betrayal.

Hmm... was the
sin of ALMSIVI truly visited upon the children of Morrowind? There
are differing accounts of this matter. Vivec's words:
Quote:
And then, in that moment, all Chimer were changed into Dunmer,
and our skins turned ashen and our eyes into fire. Of course, we
only knew at that time that this had happened to us, but Azura
said, "This is not my act, but your act. You have chosen your
fate, and the fate of your people, and all the Dunmer shall share
your fate, from now to the end of time. You think yourselves gods,
but you are blind, and all is darkness." And Azura left us alone,
in darkness, and we were all afraid, but we put on brave faces,
and went forth from Red Mountain to build the new world of our
dreams.
We have established, I think,
that Vehk lies when it suits him, but I regard this account as the
more likely of the two.
And though my own skin is fair, I can
think of no reason to regard this dark skin as a curse. It is, at
most, a symbol of the other darkness, a darkness of spirit, which
brings all good intentions to bad ends. Did the Tribunal create that
darkness, or were they a result of it? You are Dunmer, what say
you?

Perhaps
madness is getting to me, but I suddenly distrust the plans of our
priest Ainoryl. I do not wish to offend him, as I have no grounds to
accuse him of anything, or even to suspect.
I just feel that
he has requested some very powerful artifacts for the summoning of
Azura. I have read account reffering to such summonings that were
much simpler, simply using magics and candles. Tie this in with the
dream our Argonian friend has told us about and I am honestly
creeped out.
Whatever is going to happen, I think I would be
better off watching it from a safe place. I will be taking my leave
in the morning, good luck to everyone of you fine scholars.

Please accept
my humble apologies for taking so long to compile a list of
questions to date. I Recalled my Mark as fast as I could, but I see
that phil_t has completed the list for you, Nigedo. I certainly am
not one for excuses, but I was giving a lecture on Mysticism to a
bunch of young students at the Mages Guild in Balmora. I don’t
particularly care for the place, but I promised an old friend that I
would do it. I understand that time is of the essence, so I
understand the need to have the list generated so quickly. I hope
you will still consider my services in the future.

the word of prophecy laid down by the Lord of Dawn and Twilight. For
truely it was not even within her own power to change the fate of
the Triune once they had chosen the path.
Tell me Vehk, now

I have
consulted the skulls, the Master, and the array of false planets...
The verification of the ringlet shall be so:
Harold
Trontskii must place the ringlet in his mouth. Almost immediately he
shall feel heavy, yet light-headed. And a Voice will speak through
him, carrying a simple yet beautiful yet powerful message from the
greyness between times.
If the ringlet is true, Master Vehk
shall hear his lover-liar Alandro Sul in this Voice, and this part
of our quest is done, and much glory will there be in the name of
Harold Trontskii.
If the ringlet is false, the speaker will
die.
Beware, Harold Trontskii, lest the Voice falter.

Hold Harold
Tronskii, do nothing until you have considered this warning!
We have already lost one true seeker to this quest and I
would not have you face this danger lightly.
If the ringlet
is false, you will surely die as Ainoryl has spoken.
You
must recognise this risk and weigh for yourself the possibility of
fatal consequence before you act as Ainoryl directs.
Whichever course you take, you decide it, and do so with
open eyes.

*Half-stumbles, half-runs through the Hall's great
archway*
My fellow councillors. My return to Hogithum Hall
comes later than I had expected, though news of these latest motions
comes to me through the messengers I have in the Sweepers here.
Despite the troubling rumblings involving the verification of the
Wraithmail ringlet, I must that my time away has not been fruitless.
As several of you know, I have spent the past four days in
and out of feverish meditation in an attempt to learn a technique
that would enable me to create an explorable pocket of information
space here in the Hall. It is done.
This grouping of information
in space is a concept I have called, however childishly, Ideaspace,
and I have furnished it with a chronicle of this Trial and what we
have uncovered through it thus far. It can be accessed from anywhere
in the Hall, or even beyond with the proper incantation. Focus your mind and you will
see it - see it and you will understand how to enter it. The less
corporeal of you among us will have no trouble understanding and
exploring it. Mortals should be prepared for some initial
disorentation.
If any are just joining us or seek a record
or refresher of relevant information, please refer to it.
Should you notice an
inaccuracy or problem with the information within, please notify me
or another Council member and we will reconstruct it in a more
satisfactory manor. The Hogithum Hall Ideaspace will be updated as
more information comes to light.
I apologize for my most
recent, potentially troubling non-corporeal appearance here - it was
but a side effect of the search for these coordinates with my astral
presence.
With that said, I must say I find this most recent
development regarding the potential fate of the procurer of the
ringlet most troubling, indeed. Can no other stand in Lord
Basilisk's place, Priest Ainoryl?
As bitter a taste as it
leaves with me, we should begin seeing into dispatching a search
party for Master Lugagius. His boat from Solstheim departed some
days ago under troubling circumstances, and there is no word from
the Bitter Coast or West Gash Region ports of his arrival. His final
message to us is dangerously foreboding, and I fear some great ill
has befallen him. I pray that I am wrong.
Still, I must rest
now. My toils have taken much from me, and I must restore myself
while I remain able to stand. I hope the record of the Trial proves useful.
If no word arrives from Lugagius between now and my return I
will charter a boat from Khuul and begin my search for him. And may
fortune be with you, Lord Basilisk.

Put your mind at
ease. I am not offended in the least. I am quite busy with my

I would like. I figured you would have an accurate list since you
have been assigned the position of Court Reporter. You are doing an
excellent job, and I know it will

I am willing
to risk this danger. True knowledge cannot be found along the road
that is safe. To learn, to grow, to become more than you are, one
must take all paths, no matter what threats loom about. I have
explored Dwemer ruins, and pondered their mysteries. I have swum
above Dreugh colonies, and beheld their submerged splendor. I have
done much with my life, and if I die for a good cause, I will be
pleased in the afterlife. As I have said many times in arguments
with Girai, the eventual goal of Mundus is to transcend what we were
and become a purity of what we can be. To die in the effort to reach
a worthy goal is to obtain a true reason for existence.
Know
this: I risk my own life, not because I do not care for it, but
because I would not be worthy of it if I were not willing to risk
it.

I await the
phrase that will prove this ringlet true, or as a scale from a false
and poisoned serpent.

What madness is this! NOO it can't be!
Hold we must...

the ringlet in his mouth. I catch a gleam from Ainoryl, unsure if it
was a smirk or not.]

If I use my
mouth the words are Sithis.
Come. Let us dance Sheogorath,
before the Voice is heard, so that our number is greater.

Oh yes there
is!
EDIT: to tegger, below:
Kind of hard to miss, it is.
The hidden message is that there isn't one. More paradoxical
than ironic.

beads of sweat from forhead]
I was truely worried we were not
cautious enough. This is great, if Nael's phrase is the proper one
then we shall soon hear from Alandro Sul.
I
find Sheogorath's poem cleverly ironic. Though it may at first
appear as though it has a hidden meaning it really doesnt.

Unfortunately I was not called
to seek a speak but to unintentially misinterpret it's meanings, for
I am the greatest dwarf that lost his way where truths and
intentions intersect.

When is there ever a hidden
meaning? If you fail to see you have hidden yourself away. But I
digress...
The sum of these words leaves me empty and now I
await the true speaker. I beg forgiveness kind priest. *bows to

carpet*

For the glory
of ALMSIVI, Master Nael, REMOVE yourself from this trembling hall!

Wines and
worms, how far from the border am I! Academic garnishments, and
alas, Liodes Jurus! When I say that it’s time to dance, unswollen
meats, it’s time to dance!
Unmask! Unmask! Oh, stones of the
Hall, unmask!

Mad
Sheogorath, SILENCE!
I will not have even you, no, not even
you pollute these walls with your nonsense. I know you to be
necessary to these proceedings, but if you cannot try at least a
modicum of restraint for our mortal sakes, we will have no choice
but to abandon this cause.
This Hall is now closed for
fumigation. Stand by for a new Hall to stand in its stead.
Edit: The New Hall is now open.
