Kier-jo
Kier-jo thinks it is very much like a thing an Elder Way-warder would say.
"The Weakest Souls, called Men, will bring Sithis into every Quarter."
"The Worshippers of the Unnamed Lord, know as 'Argonians' on Nirni, are the Descendents of Boethiah and the Serpent-men."
"The Khajiit, created as Servants by the Aldmer, Rebelled against the Natural Order and Conspired with the Doom Drum to End the Merethic Era."
Kier-jo hears it all before.
Tiber Septim was seen in more than one part of Tamriel at the same time and you are content.
Stormcrown was a Breton, no a Nord, no an Atmoran, and you sit and play in the sand.
A numidium rises in the West and does Eight Things for the Psijics and you do not question.
Your monkeys dance on the Tower and the stars change and you do not remember.
You read the words of the Sermon, but you are blind to the truths between them.
The darkness is reborn, crowned and conquering, and you pull the covers tighter and sleep.When will you realize what happened to the Dwarves?
When will you Wake from the Elven Lie that all Men believe?
Jobasha (Douglas Goodall?)
Jobasha says don't you fall for the Elven Lie. The Tower is older than the elves, as old as music. For it is the Word and the start of words and the end (and the end of ALMSIVI as Vivec may say or not say).
The Tower of today is not The Tower of yesterday. Jobasha's heresy lies in knowing even Ahnurr changes, as do all stars when they can walk.
Where do you go when Alkosh breaks?
So where are you now as Alkosh holds the stars to their courses?
Speak, if you know the words. Keep silent, if you remember.Wise Azurah gives us the Lattice... But the moons, in death, are distillers only. As glass moves light, but requires a flame.
The Lattice breaks before. The monkeys dance. Lorkhaj sends a star. That star, chained and unchained, pokes holes in the moons once, twice, three times.
We Khajiit must climb, then, in a way men and mer cannot. And with us we carry the sugar of a star or a bone or a watery king. For if sugar is not worthy of a Walker, is it worthy of Ja-Kha'jay?
So Jobasha does not fear. All "et'Ada" have laws, customs, weakness. Even if they "cannot be spelled, pronounced, ennumerated in the Mundus" (and there is another weakness of the Elven Lie).
"The Dragon is bound with noble sighs.
The Serpent is bound with shifting tones.
The Sun is bound with metal flames.
The Earth is bound with secret knots."
-- The Soft Doctrines of Magnus InvisibleBut perhaps Jobasha should give an even more famous example:
"Daedroth, do you keep the faith?"
"Bide, and we abide. Turn, and we return."Who knows, survives.

Who controls the Septim crown?
Who keeps the Allesian Heresy down?
We do, we doWho knocked Yokuda off the maps?
Who keeps the Dwemer under wraps?
We do, we doWho dances a little dance and does not tell?
Who breaks time and thinks it's swell?
We do, we doWho spills coffee on the Chaos Staff?
Who makes the Truth Monkeys laugh?
We do, we do
