This is going to make things complicated... I'm still working under the concept that my character is ALSO the Nerevarine... so... all that and Azura... twice?
Im speculating that the night mother is a daedra and the corpse her shrine, and sithis could be her realm of oblivion and every db member who dies serves her in deathmaturin said:You say that like you know what the void is. The only void in ES lore is the void of Oblivion, which is quite different.miketehmage said:Sithis IS the void.
Sithis is a merish philosophical construct referring to Padomay. The Dark Brotherhood, led by the Night Mother (who could be and probably is any number of things), appropriated this belief and misconstrued it into a deity, morphing it into Lorkhan (as the actual deity who brought death to the cosmos through the idea of mortal creation) in the process.
And people think souls go to Aetherius to be happy forever, when in reality they just swing through on their way back to amnesiac reincarnation.When the dark brotherhood kills, the victims soul's are sent to him.
Souls are cheap. You don't have to as powerful as a daedra to use them as tools.
So they void has hands now? And a gender? It's cult jargon.Also at the end of the DB chain in oblivion, when Arquen tells the nightmother that the black hand had killed the traitor, lucien lachance, the night mother replied "no lachance was not the traitor, his soul sits in the void, at Sithis' right hand" or something to that effect.
Patronising?SirBryghtside said:Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, have you completed the Companion quest line?No, it's just lore. I wasn't trying to be patronising D:
The greatest misunderstanding of all is that people assume when I say [HEADING=3]"I will devour your soul and trap it in a Petty Gem to feed my ever hungry flaming sword"[/HEADING] that I'm joking.SirBryghtside said:MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

No no, there's just a bit of a... change, at the end of the quest line. Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.![]()

Okay. I'm here.KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life said:If it was between more chaotic/envious Daedra, there'd be a problem, but Hircine and Nocturnal both aren't very confrontational.
Call me when you're dual-wielding the Mace of Molag Bal and Mehrune's Razor.
Because they give you shiny, unique armor, while all hermaeus gives you is a bunch of skill levels that can easily be gained elsewhere.Chicago Ted said:Pfft...
Be a servant of Hircine or Nocturnal? As if.
I'm the Champion of Hermaeus Mora, Prince of lost secrets, Demon of Knowledge.

Why should I follow those that are incapable of knowing the real truths of the world?
Sithus would win by forfeit. The others would see nothing they do is as bad as him. Hes gotta be pissed after all the "warming my bone" nasty stuff you did with his wife.Ultratwinkie said:A better question would be a werewolf, nightingale, or Dark Brother.
What happens when Sithis, Nocturnal, and Hircine go at it over a soul?
Yeah, it's one of the main flaws with the game. This coming from a TES enthusiast, the writing is just lazy. Well, let's make him the chosen one... of everybody. Also, Alduin saves you from your execution because... fate. Fate/destiny is a lazy explanation for why things occur in fiction. They just couldn't be bothered to come up with something decent, now I would shrug that off if the questlines were actually fun to play but many of the faction quests are just go here, kill/get person/item and bring it back. Urgh, it's frustrating. I hope the DLC/expansion(s) add something worthwhile like Shivering Isles.snagli said:So I belong to Nocturnal and Hircine, I'm a servant of Sithis AND I'm a champion of like seven other immortal beings?
Sigh... I wish Shivering Isles was in Skyrim so I could just BECOME a Daedra. Sheogorath is too erratic for the others to get their smelly hands on, he'll just turn them into a chicken.
But when you do that quest when level 55+ those skill levels are HUGE. Plus you can buy/craft/enchant better everything than most of what the Daedra give you (notable exceptions are nifty hats and the Wabbajack which are rewards given for keeping a few Daedra company rather than being their BFFs like most want you to).Hijax said:Because they give you shiny, unique armor, while all hermaeus gives you is a bunch of skill levels that can easily be gained elsewhere.Chicago Ted said:Pfft...

Isn't Sithis the closest analogue to a christian style super-God in the TES series? He created the universe (accidentally) and was displeased when it didn't go away, so now he's all about death and ending everything?RhombusHatesYou said:Well, if you dig around in the Elder Scrolls creation myths, Sithis is more than an Aedra or Daedra, so my money is on Sithis.Ultratwinkie said:What happens when Sithis, Nocturnal, and Hircine go at it over a soul?
