Fuzzy And Kind Little Things.

Mara as the Glamorous Enchantress, from Diana Wynne Jones’ “Dark Lord of Derkholm”

Shona is not impressed.

You have the power to emulate sounds that you've recently heard, perfectly mimic voices, animal calls, gun fire, as long as it was within about an hour.

You also absorb light on contact, you do not reflect. In shady or dim conditions you may become almost invisible, in direct light it has much less effect.

What is it?

Ballad of Night

Arise my brothers, our night is not done. We stand at the gates fighting dozens with one. At dawn we'll sing songs of this glorious fight. Guardians alone will outlast this night. The foes fear our hammer, our bullet and blaze. Bear your dark helmets, no fear in our gaze. The glory of dawn tis a beautiful sight. One we'll only see if we outlast this night. Their horde is vast, this army of dark. But we are blessed with the Travelers mark. We will not give up will not yield to this blight. It cannot be long, we must outlast this night. Their blades are brutal, their hatred unyielding. So eager to burn what we all would die shielding. Don't may bring blood but that future's still bright. To me my brothers we'll outlast this night.

Fargoth’s hiding place is a hollow stump in a small pond in town.

i guess this isn't really lore but in the minute amount of hours i've put into morrowind it's the thing that bugs me the most - what the fuck is the deal with fargoth? And his 'hiding place.' i'm too scared to find out for myself

i really, truly, do not have a clue. fargoth scares me 

I’ve considered this at some length before. The Minotaurs were a proud people that were reduced to little more than beasts on the edge of society by a fanatical religion. There’s certainly a regal nature to them that is sadly lost in the games.

As the whole ‘dragon blood’ thing goes, it’s hard to say because Alessia’s bloodline were the original Emperors. They were eliminated only to be replaced by the Septim line. Both were able to wear the amulet, both may have consisted of Dragonborn.

So then is Dragonborn an inherited trait at all?

Okay weird lore observation. Heirs of the dragon blood are capable of wearing the amulet of Kings. Traditionally that refers to the heirs of the imperial throne. It's been inferred by some that all of the heirs of dragon blood are technically dragon born and could absorb dragon souls. One of the first (if not the first) MINOTAURS was an emperor and the son of Alessia no less. Thus it would stand to reason that not only could a minotaur wear the Amulet of Kings, but could also absorb dova souls?

it hasn’t been clarified whether the dragonborn who can wear the amulet of kings are the same as the dragonborn who can absorb dragonsouls. nonetheless the idea of minotaurs being able to wear the amulet of kings is… very interesting ngl 

Khajiit don't really 'admire' Lorkhan. They revere him the way the people of Vivec (the city) revere Bar Daau. Sort of, "Holy hell, please don't crush us even though you probably totally could with like, 0 effort."

Lorkhan's particularly interested in the Khajiit it seems for whatever reason, since he gets their 'bent' dead.

here’s some tea

the three factions that worship lorkhan or at least view him in a positive light all belong to the pact  

It's probably got some syntax or other that we haven't clarified, my bet is that it's a way of referring to themselves as children of the moons. (Having their form determined by the lunar lattice could have that effect) Similarly, it is said that the desert was made by Y'ffer in to harm Khajiit. But their philosophies and even the Riddle'Thar seem to demand that they accept the hardship. Odds are they take pride in their ability to survive in the harsh environments.

I rly wonder about the ethymology of Ja'Kha'jay too? Literally, it would mean “baby moon”, “mooncub” but that’s weird? Also, is the semblance between khaj (desert) and kha'jay (moon) something intentional, despite them being two different things and the apostrophe in kha'jay indicating a potential root from two separate words?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SENSEI

If you notice, it's similar to what a sustained arc of electricity looks like. Both change in similar fashions as they seek the path of least resistance.
