A Young Breton's Insights Into an Ancient Culture:
By Breadal Shingallow
Editor's Note
My name is Reyond Augstiane, a lecturer at the Imperial University.
Breadal Shingallow was a student of mine for eighteen years, before
traveling of onto his own studies. He had brought up this topic with
particular interest, as we labored on it together, and after a few
years, a letter of his death had reached me.
We have gathered a proceedings of data which Breadal Shingallow had
collected, some of which can be viewed openly at the Imperial Library.
If you are interested into the studies of such topics, feel free to
write.
-Augstiane
With each passing day, our hearts can either grow more weary, or fain
we grow wiser, and as I find every minute in continuation, this saying
is true.
As I tread on grounds of uncertainty, I bid the reader know that my
dyslexia has stumped me first hand in creation of all things virtuous.
I had begin to develop an appreciation for things of the stagnate and
pure nature of Skyrim, which included literature, and even more deeply,
Nordic rune, which deepened my understandings at the time. After some
time however, my mind began to stagnate, and as a result, some
characters appeared painful to me. At first I had a shrub of a
superstition that this was the work of mysticism magicks, however,
after some research and an affirmation from the skilled healer and
mysticist, Madame Grao-tul Aldena, my troubles were set at an ease, at
least of sorts. After I applied some alteration salve to my eyes,
(Perilous it may seem it gives you enhanced eye sight, and as a side
effect boosts common perception and intelligence), I began to wearily,
but happily, to return to my studies of Nordic lore.
The ancient texts are a mysterious and forgotten token of culture which
many skim over as a deemed treacherous domain. But, once you pass the
dilly-daddle of Nordic scholars, one might proceed to what is known as
'the hub' of the study of Nordic culture, and of all places, located in
the Imperial University. The scholars there, though protective of
claims, can give some insight into these "runes". To receive writings
through trade and book bringers, and give them ground on the
proceedings of each investigatory notion. In effect, the surroundings
are marked off usually as a location for the mages guild to study
later, lest thugs or thieves come in with indeed, the purpose of
looting in mind.
Keep in mind that the Nordic culture has developed exponentially from
chants and rune keepings. Though there are a few things of the Nordic
culture kept intact, (In some cases, the coffins of chiefs and former
captain are kept protected through a series of time slowing
manipulation spells, originally casted to preserve the Nords from
complete dissimulation.), the majority of things found seem prudently
minuscule in the matter of culture assimilation. For example, the
Imperial City's Libraries only expound on a few key events in the
history of Skyrim, and thus do not interfere with any actual politics
or natures of the affairs of the lives of the peoples. Therefore, any
lodgers dating back over one-hundred years or more are treated as a
prosperous en devour; The texts remain particularly popular among
nobles and otherwise auctioneers, even going to such diverse lengths as
the dreaded assassins guild, as a report of a trial back thirty years
ago spoke of:
"The brooked ways of the Chrinril have been uncovered, and the proof of
their demise are taken into truth and sincerity. However, the rights of
these and similar 'magical runes' of the Nordic culture are not to be
used for or by any factional purposes, unless hereto approved
appropriate by the Imperial Elder Council. Any such hearings therein
lie within the Elder Scrolls, and thus shall be noted in impunity and
justice. "
The reasons for these issues are perilous to ascertain: Most records
leading back to the source of the runes display of power were removed
by hearers and seers within the council. Even official records, and by
my count, three dating at the time of interest, have been removed out
of the council's libraries while previously had been noted.
So then, what is it exactly that the council discovered of these runes, or what didn't they want to display?
Well, I have obtained a record of the first account deemed "missing"
from the councils librarians, and an excerpt that may grant a man
insight is as follows:
"The arrival of Epetimus Rigal, the ancient text of the Nords contains
a sort of revival theme. And as such, the runes were tested by the
mages guild. It seems to be that these runes possess an ancient power,
some of which suprass even the dwemer. The extent of which these powers
limit, vary, and as such we have continued testing. We have chosen our
area of study within the villiage of Hastburg."
Now I went down to the village of Hastburg, only to learn from locals
nearby the settlement that the name had been changed to 'Imprerius
Alunus' after being purchased by the Imperials from the Nordic's Hall.
The Area was vast and desolate. Only portions of houses remained,
hardly hospitable.
How deep does this mass asceticism of the Imperial's study go? This
Breton only can speculate that it goes very, very deep. In time, I hope
to uncover this mystery. |
