wise woman will tell you, should you be cordial and a friend of the Velothi... the Story of the Seven Houses....





St. Veloth came one day, across the mountains, he carried his staff and led his caravan and the Chimer followed with their packs and their skins golden tan. He followed as Boethiah bade him, evaded the Dwemer as shown by Mephala, and survived as Azura taught... they lived on the land and traveled into Resdayn, they vowed to live apart from the bad Mer in the west

Veloth made camp by a mountain... some of Veloths people left to live in a cave, their hetman three-eyed, they would later use iron, wood, and stone, they were great assassins and mystics- but they left the Veloth.

Veloth left for a rocky river bed. It was the home of crabs, and their shells lay drying in the sun and some of his warriors crept into the shells and laid down their mats, they were the great warriors- but they left the Veloth.

Veloth came across a muddy flat, and the children of Veloth made castles of clay. A trader in the tribe decided to make a large home of clay and wood, and they prospered with trade and fields- but they left the Veloth

Veloth set out again, though he was unhappy with the deserters. He came upon a land full of stones and woods.... and many braves left to make homes of metal and rock.... they grew strong- but they left the Veloth
.
Veloth traveled east, to the mushroom forests, away from his warrior-deserters. Then his magicians found a mushroom, that grew hollow, and they lived in it, and grew strange and powerful- but they left the Veloth.

Veloth went south to the jungle near where the lizard demons prowl and silver-skinned men hunt. Some of his gulakhans caught some slaves and made a home of strong wood of the jungle- but they left the Veloth.


Veloth left for the City-of-the-Strong-Shield, to see what he could see, and the Dwemer let him live in the land between their freeholds, but he tired of the Velothi dome and the prison of house... and set out again....
Veloth traveled to the ashlands with what was left of his Chimer, they lay under moon and star, under yurt, and with their guar, but they did not live in the seven houses that imprisons ones mind and body....
the yurt is good, and Azura will guide and the Ashlanders will not leave the Veloth


Later, the seventh House-folk gathered with the greater House-folk of the caves, the shells, the mud, the stones, the mushrooms, and the woods... and altogether they only equaled the Velothi tribes in wealth and strength, however, when great Nerevar, ashkhan and lord high councilor, led our people with the House-folk to fight the Dwemer, the three false gods, generals of Nerevar slew him and the House-folk grew strong. The Dagoth, once a great friend of Nerevar grew dark and evil.... and the land of Vvardenfell fell into ash and blight. And so we await the Nerevarine.... who is foretold in the Prophecies

That was pretty good. I hope all these well written books show up ingame.
thanks......wow, I expected criticism....
o well, looks like I flexed my literary muscles and the crowd went wild! :lmao:
I think we all love the lore, and you have hit on something that is right at the heart of the dunmer. It is brave, forthright and unique. It needs very careful thought still, and you have broken ground that we would all like to have approached but didn't dare to, thus releasing us to dream the dream...

heh, quote from raggidman song written in the 1970s:
"if I still live to dream the dream,

of all the world that I have seen,

hoping I'll love again,

floating high,
floating I

dreeeeammm..."
Only one real suggestion. Drop "of the Nereverine" from the ending and the flow improves a great deal.

"We await the Nereverine, foretold in the Prophesies of the Nereverine" vs. "We await the Nereverine, foretold in the Prophesies."
