The

The What is up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Fajmopat. I'm Scott here with

Michael Madrew as always. And today on the Elder Scrolls podcast, we are talking vague. And I mean,

really vague. We're talking about ancient gods.

So this episode's going to be a bit of a sort of theory crafting, stringing things together.

You're sitting in live on our sort of discussion. Basically, we wanted to discuss some of the most

sort of ancient and obscure gods, like we know in things like in the Ailid sorcerer

video, I talked about there's this, there's Flower King, Nilakar, and some insect god that's sort of

unnamed and not talked about. In the new Fargrave DLC, there's these big giant skeletons

that fought over its plane of oblivion. And it's basically, you know, there's, there's a lot more metaphysical room in the Elder Scrolls universe than we think.

There are a couple of things we can preface.

And one is that this calpic cycle of the Elder Scrolls has been going on for thousands of years.

Gods will come in and out of popular belief. Some will be forgotten entirely. Others

will just kind of fade away a little bit. Sometimes a culture will drift away from one,

like the nords drifting away from the animal totems, towards the more imperialized version.

And then on top of that, when talking about Deidra, the idea that there's only 17 Dadric princes,

that's a very mortal thing to say. It's like, oh, this is what we know. Therefore, that's everything beyond our world in the void of oblivion. There's millions and millions of realms, a bunch of races that can just be invented at any point. It's like, so the doors are open. I've got a cool. The doors of oblivion. I've got a cool idea.

I'll see what you think. But just bringing that up made me think of, imagine if, so the current Calpa we're in, you know, there's the 17 dated princes that you know of the most and all of that kind of stuff. But I like to imagine always. It might be interesting to think about this. But each Calpa, like things can drastically change, like one of the most common ones we hear about.

You know, the Mythic Dawn commentaries. interesting thing about this, but each calpa, like things can drastically change, like one of the

most common ones we hear about, you know, the mythic dawn commentaries with the tyrant drag kings

and so on, and the Molag Bal was their chief then, right? But it would be interesting if every single

new calpic cycle, basically the gods, you know, fighting or scraping to basically keep relevance
