Corvus' theme song. Uriel Septim? Legions? Far eastern cat-dragons? Staying alive stayin alive.

Don't think I didn't catch that Skaven joke you put Balrog 

Rest in peace Trevis, you poor bastard. Let's hope Dales finds out what happened to him somehow, let us have discourse and backstabbing!

Even though it'd be futile, do you think the Thalmor will try and take advantage of this? Goading the natives to sail south and attack Skyrim proper.

There will likely not be a direct followup to the Procession post. Likely in chapter 4 we will see the carnage and aftermath of such a ruinous and swift campaign. Of the lucky few survivors fleeing across the Sea of Ghosts, this time to the south and will give their POV of the events that transpired. 

Only when/if man seeks vengeance and reclamation will we return to the Old Dowry and see what has happened.

Bright-Hewer is the same King Cassivelogenos as 'today', before coronated by the blessings of man, instead of Dov, to his kingship his name was Bright-Hewer. Don't take the first paragraph as a literal letter or anything, it's symbolic from the point of view of something else entirely from Tamriel, Imperialism, anything of the sort.

'Coronation of your furrowed brow, hoary and ageless' You an elderly Atmoriant, succeed your father in kingship. Reading a little closer to the eldest son of passed King Hrewldrum, in sworn vassalage to the majestic son of the invincible Ysmir. Actually hints that King Hrewldrum was the ruler at the time of Uriel's conquests, and he himself was sworn into vassalage to the majestic son of the invincible Ysmir.

Where as on the ascension of Bright-Hewer as Cassivelogenos, his tribute is to the 'Twin Red Banners'. That being Solitude's banner and the Imperial banner.

What event does the Atmoriants attacking unprovoked, slaughtering men and driving the survivors to flee on boat no doubt to return one day in vengeance, remind you of?

The big reply post, also known as Czar's metaphysics class outside the norm.

Firstly there's a reason the latter half of the post is ordered and worded as it is. Several significant symbologies there.

Take note at the beginning the Doom Drum which interpret that any way you please, they all exist and all have been and all are true, it neither beats along or against. It simply is and states. Atmoriants are with man now, so long as vassalage and faith are kept.

Forward to the latter half.

'An age passes. The Doom Drum turns and beats a different form.' 

The Doom Drum turns and beats a different form. Once the Atmoriants walked the path of man, now the Doom Drum turns to an enemy of man and beats the form of war. A champion of man must beat the drum.

The order and choice of words for the blessing was neither random. To quickly explain them.

First blessing of One-Eighth, is to the king, the cause, the reason. May you suffer and perish.
Second blessing of One-Eighth, is towards the splendor of the king. May it all go to waste.
Third blessing of One-Eighth, is all the Atmoriants have accomplished, anything from the mundane to the arcane and all worldly knowledge. May it be destroyed, discarded and forgotten.
Forth blessing of One-Eighth, is to the very race of Atmoriants. May the all perish at the hand of the champion of man.
Fifth blessing of One-Eighth, is to the very spiritual will of the Atmoriants. The will to resist, to overcome, and destroy. May that spirit be shattered and lost.
Sixth blessing of One-Eighth, the champion of man, Baldur. May he be the instrument that brings darkness over the Atmoriants, enemies of man.
Seventh blessing of One-Eighth, the dead race, may they never find the afterlife of man.
Eighth blessing of One-Eighth, may this kalpa be your grave, may your people never a light to bring yourself from which from the Ash King brought to. Chained to the Kalpa.
Ninth blessing to TALOS, the herald of your doom.

The first five blessings are curses of woe to the Atmoriants, prophesying the doom of their people. The Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth blessings are the true blessings to the Nords, prophesying their champion, victory and destruction of the Atmoriants.


One-Eighth, a hated fraction and ill omen. The good number of eight is shattered, it's fragments reduced to the lowest possible form, while mirroring once-divinity. To evoke One-Eighth's of Eight forms a false whole with theological paradoxes of divine sciences.
