Clearly the work of the Monarch
It's in revenge of Dr Venture giving Bethesda the monarch butterfly health potion recipe. Clearly.

I'm telling you, it's most likely just an easter egg...developers DO hide those in games from time to time. The jars might just be part of some grand super easter egg, but I highly doubt that even if there is some kind of arcane eldrich ritual surrounding them that it'll bring about an apocalypse. According to TES lore, Alduin IS the apocalypse. Was the World Eater destroyed or merely delayed? Just saying that if this ritual is supposed to bring about some kind of massive cataclysm, then Alduin's title of World Eater, he who is to bring about the end of days, wouldn't be accurate.
Though if these bugs are indeed a foreshadow to DLC, I personally hope it re-opens the gate to the Shivering Isles...that place was awesome. That, or I hope the DLC involves venturing into another Daedric Prince's realm. Barring that, it had better be focusing against the Thalmor because there's nothing I love better than to put on my Jester's gear, infiltrate one of their outposts, and not leave until every throat there-in has been slit. The only people I hate more than the Foresworn are the Thalmor.

Don't worry, if Bethesda ever do make a DLC from all this, it will most likely be much simpler than everyone's making it out to be. Probably just collect each of the bug jars, place each of them at an altar or something at each city, then fight a dragon in each or some big guy at the end. As deep and complex this rabbit hole goes, and how friggin' mindblowing it's all turning out to be, I highly doubt Bethesda (or indeed, any developer) has enough faith in their players to be smart enough to do any of this...Caramel Frappe said:

But somehow I can't shake off the feeling that people are reading too much in this game..
And on the other side the following post seems kinda awesome if it would become a real quest:
Ok the weirdest thing just happened to me. I was thinking about that guys whole transmutation theory. And I started looking at the dragonfly jar because that's the only one I had. Need-Horse-Water is what it translates to, and he said something about whiterun being the horse head. I noticed water flowing out of the city so I traced it back to it's source, it was flowing out of Dragon's reach and into a pool underneath the bridge. Then I noticed a skeleton floating in the water there. I had seen it before, just never paid attention to it. And then everything just seemed to right. Dragonfly and dragons reach - the place where you flew off in a dragon. The horse water being the origin of the water coming out of whiterun. I put the jar in the skeleton and I shit you not a dragon started attacking the city the moment I put it on him. Nothing happened when I killed the dragon but I realized that the crests of blood may in fact be having to kill a dragon in each of the city. I dont know if placing the jar on the skeleton had anything to do with the dragon spawning, but realized that it would make more sense for Bethesda (If this whole theory is correct) to require you to kill an assortment of dragons, one in each of the five points (main cities), as well as the other locations he listed. TL
Tried doing as the spoiler suggested and no dragon attacked, so I'd chalk that one up to coincidence.
If these guys don't stop soon, they're gonna take some serious SAN damage, and then the shoggoths are going to come...
It would be awesome, but from my experience most developers of games/tv shows/etc don't take ideas from the general public specifically for copywrite reasons. They don't wanna put something out there and then have some schmuck start running around saying "HEY! THAT WAS MY IDEA! GIMME MONEY!" I had an idea for a special set in Magic the Gathering, but it clearly states they don't take any suggestions from the general public that hasn't been submitted through someone's personal agent with all the right paperwork. So too do many TV shows say that they almost legally can't take any ideas from fan-fic that might be writen about the show.Beryl77 said:
I still say it's likely either part of a massive easter egg that no one has figured out yet or that they are part of a gathering quest that never made it to the final product. Or the jars could simply be a secret hidden message from the developers for those nerdy enough to translate the runes, which would go in with the easter egg scenario.
Entirely plausible that Bethesda took the same route as Obsidian did with New Vegas, putting clues to future expansions into the vanilla game.
That, or some developer(s) have put quite a bit of work into creating a very complicated (and entirely unmarked) quest, waiting to see who can figure it out.
This is why I still have hope for the gaming industry.

Did anyone else notice how for each TES game there's an Elder Scroll prophecy? And that they're all related? And that this one is also the last one? It says Akatosh is bringing the end of the world (not Alduin), but because you stop Alduin from doing it, I'd assume Akatosh (God of Time) goes all Final Destination on Nirn because things aren't going according to plan. So Yeah TES is doomed.
Not just New Vegas. OP: Anchorage was a sim of Liberty Primes deployment, The Pitt had been alluded to by someone (can't remember, but possibly someone in Paradise Falls), and Mothership Zeta was based off of a well-known easter egg.soldier9501 said:
Somewhere in Bethesda Studios, there's a room full of rich business men and graphic artists laughing their assess off as they reading these types of threads.
20 years from now when we've all descended into madness trying to figure this out, they'll reveal it was all a joke, and they just though butterflies were pretty.

I don't recall Akatosh being mentioned as a destroyer...though I do fully admit that already I don't remember all the details of the prophecy. I do know that Akatosh created the first Dragonborn to counter Alduin's reign of terror when the world of man was still young, and I do know that Alduin is the herald of the world's doom. But if I remember correctly the prophecy says that the dragonborn can still defeat Alduin to prevent the world's destruction. Just seems weird to me that Akatosh would bless mortals to become Dragonborn and thus have the potential to defeat Alduin, only to turn around and say "Congrats! You killed the World Eater! Now I'm gonna come down and kill you all. It's been fun!"Owen Robertson said:
Annnnnd yeah, there's been an Elder Scroll prophecy in all the games....the series IS called The Elder Scrolls, after all.
Gotta say, though, I enjoyed getting the Elder Scroll in Oblivion the most. Pulling a heist in the imperial castle/tower? F*ckin' epic!
