    The elder scrolls makers use the concept of the unreliable narrator. So everything you hear or read might be wrong. There are just two certain things: 1. Everything you experience yourself as a player 2. Everything in the actual scrolls. They introduced this concept from the beginning. That's the reason why all cultures have a different story about the dawn era.

There is a video by Mr Rhexx explaining a theory that he could literally be Lorkahj (Lorkahn, Shor) and was cursed by the gods to walk the planes of Nirn for ever (meaning he cannot die, or he if he dies he just reincarnates). Also it would make sense if he was Lorkahn, as he is known as the Trickster God to the elven races, and had lied to the gods to create mundas (which destroyed many et ada). And what is Maiq known for? Lying. (But i feel he doesn't lie to the main protagonist in the games, but giving advice to him/her instead, because if Maiq is the creator of Mundus, why would he want to lie to the person saving his creation?)

    I find it really fascinating how the sky itself in the Elder Scrolls is a testimony to the creation of its world, much like our sky on Earth. Except is completely different in nature; our sky and the space beyond it is made of a hard vacuum filled with low density particles that sometimes "coagulate" into things like stars or planets, which we also see in our sky as twinkling lights. But for Nirn, this is completely different, as the video explains, since stars and the sun are just tears through Oblivion that peer right into Aetherius.

    Very nice video, Im a lorefreak myself but I have some stuff to say about this. Note that this is my representation of the lore: 1. A lot of the "pre-history" is confirmed by the Elder Scrolls themselves, not just myths, legends and holy books. 2. Not chaotic nothingness, just nothingness. Padomay is chaos. 3. I wouldn't say Sithis represented nothingness, since that already existed, just the void, space between particles and objects 4. Anui-El and Sithis didn't create Aurbis. Aurbirs is overlap of forces of Anu and Padomay. 5. Auri-El and Akatosh are two separate beings. They both and Alduin are shards of Aka that was created by Anui-El not Auri-El. 6. Lorkhan didn’t tell them that they will populate it with their own creation. It was supposed to be their home. 7. Ever since Lorkhan actually tricked them until his "death" was called the Convention. Meeting at the Tower was called "The moment of the Convention". 8. Lorkhan isn't Nirn, but he was bound to it like the Earthbones. 9. Yes Messer and Secunda are Lorkhan’s body. 10. Not just the divines fled Nirn, but all the Aedra that could. Those who couldn't became the Ehlnofey. 11.The Ehlnofey aren't ancestors of just men and mer, but also animals and plants.

    About AKA; Aka is just the translation of "dragon" in ehlnofey. Akatosh is Auriel. And Alduin itself stated that he was the firstborn of Akatosh, they could never be "brothers" or the same person. In my opinion Akatosh is Auriel, but with a different name, a name made up by Alessian to make the one pantheon.

    Don't be confused and don't blame the sources. I don't think the story of Lorkhan's heart is so complicated and it seems you're kind of asking the wrong questions. It completely makes sense, if you can reason it as symbolic and viewed as not totally literal. Lorkhan was the catalyst of the creation of Mundus. Lorkhan combine with the Aedra (Akatosh, Dibella, etc..), to create ALL aspects of Mundus. Each Aedra represented/originated ALL that exists within Mundus. Akatosh imparted time, Julianos contributed wisdom and logic, and so on. Lorkhan was essentially the "Flesh" of Mundus, contributing the "matter" of Mundus. The Aedra contributed the concepts and constructs. They all combine, sacrificing their sovereignty as gods, to all create the PAINT used for the WORK-OF-ART that was Mundus. The Aedra acting as the COLORS and Lorkhan acting as whatever paint is made out of... MATTER. The difference between Lorkhan and the Aedra is illustrated by what they contribute. Their contributions were influence by the baser concept/god they were derived from (Anu vs. Padomai). You can't cut the heart out of "matter" if you exist in the realm of "matter." Both the Aedra and Lorkhan are essentially the "building blocks" of the idea of Mundus. The story isn't meant to be interpreted as completely literal, as we are talking about beings that are at the same time, not beings, just concepts. These concepts converged and could not be separated. So Lorkhan's heart can't be removed anymore than time can be cut out of Mundus, by way of injuring Akatosh. Lorkhan's heart isn't literal in the way you speak of it. His heart acts as a foundation of Mundus, just like every piece of ALL gods involved in the creation of Mundus.

    Regarding Lorkhan, the way I see it: He also gave up a part of himself to create Mundus and Nirn, and specifically gave up a large part of himself to create Nirn. He possibly still retained some kind of form, enough to attend the Convention. However, since most of his power was given up to create most of Nirn, killing Lorkhan and destroying his heart would destroy Nirn.

    Nirn was highly magical at the time, was visited by Gods whose very presence bends reality, and was in a state of Dragon Break (which results from Aka's mind shattering and multiple timelines branching), so things could have happened and things could have existed but not fully and not the same by everyone's perspective, thus all the different versions of Aedra and the creation story. Convention happened at the "very end" of the Dawn Era, and was the moment when the Aedra decided how best to handle this project with the realized consequences and the absence of Magnus, and yes, by some accounts to judge "Lorkhan's" (The Space God's) guilt. Nirn was still "present" at the time of the Convention, but not in a raw, physical sense, as the Gods were still bound. Think of it like everyone is slowly melting down into a single blueprint of a sphere, you still have control over what's left of you, but everything else is sort of becoming its own thing. It was not Lorkhan's "body", as Nirn is made from the bodies of all other Aedra, while Lorkhan's sundered body is said to have become the moons. What is Lorkhan's is the heart which held his spirit, which was satisfied by Nirn because it was sick of the monotony of before, wanting a world of flux, made from many spirits and not just one. So basically, Convention had it that Lorkhan's spirit was bound to Nirn, and the Aedra would define themselves into Nirn to join it, some fully to become the Ehlnofey, while others still retained a good chunk of their original spheres and could separate now that Lorkhan's heart was anchoring everything, becoming the Aedra ("The Eight"). I hope this cleared some stuff up for you, feel free to ask for clarification.

    To elaborate on some things. Listed below is a short bit on what everything actually is and the formation of Elder scroll creation mythos: Godhead is the top of the hierarchy with Anu, the force of stasis, and Padomay, the force of change being the two under. When the godhead awakens, all creation ceases which is known as the "kappa" (spelling?). To maintain this all beings (ideas, gods Aedra, Deadra, whatever you call them) they all had to "Amaranth", which was ascend to Godhead level by acknowledging they did not "existed", but refusing by force of will to still exist. All these beings were so exhausted of having to do this that Lorkhan convinced them to create Mundas which was using prior incarnations of creation to make one thing that lasted "forever" so Amaranth was not needed. Lorkham was created by sithis to restore chaos, but due to his mixed nature (he was aedra and deadra) actually betrayed Sithis by creating the ultimate chaos, stability. Now with Mundas, having to ascend no longer had to be a thing From Anu and Padomay the Dedra and Aedra formed (from fighting one another or possibly "mating" depends on the culture). All Aedra were created from Panomays and Anu's blood mixing and all deadra were strictly from Padomays blood (somthing important to note is the only truly "pure" Anu derived being is Akatosh). The "physical" appearance of Deadra and Aedra are actually just a part of them since they are large concepts or "ideas" and the plane(t)s are actually the Aedra and Deadra full manifestation. The avatars of these beings embodied just a fraction of the Aedra or Deadra and could exist anywhere separate so the heart could have been "ripped" out. Few things you seemed confused on were Lorkhan physical plane(t) of existence was the two moons. At the meetings of all the Aedra they ripped Lorkhan heart out (splitting the plane (t)) in two and the heart fell to Mundas. Where it struck the ground (or where Akatosh "shot" it from his bow). The location of the plane(t)s in correlation to Mundas central is how much divinity they retained. The more of the divinity the Aedra had the the further they were from Mundas central. If the Aedra had returned to Mundas Central, their plane(t) would become part of Mundas Central. Some theory states that each interaction with Mundas Central actually takes more of the power of the Aedra each time which is part of the reason they do not interact. Fun fact: a lot of theory states that the Dweomer actually "Amaranth" which allows them to become part of the ultimate godhead or to cease to exist fully at all. Ultimately if this is done correctly, the Dweomer could create their own reality or if done incorrectly, may have just stopped existing. If the Dweomer still "exist" they could create their own reality from using the Godhead (which is above Anu and Padomay).

    You have Auri-el wrong here. Auri-el is a shard of the original soul that governs time. the original soul of time was called AKA, and all dragons and Auri-el, Akatosh and yes, alduin, are shards of AKA. the three, Auriel, Akatosh and Alduin are just the most notable is because they're bound directly to the cycles of the Kalpa, but the gist is that AKA was shattered into uncountable pieces and the three shards govern these following concepts; Auri-el the beginning of time, Akatosh the body of time and Alduin the end of time, and when the end comes a cosmic reset button is pressed and the cycle begins anew. also the two last events are out of order, the gods didn't ascend until after the Ehlnofey began to diverge into the sentient races of man and mer, the Old Ehlnofey which are the precursors of High elves coexisted with the original spirits which created nirn, and once the Altmer have come into being Auri-el Ascended before them and showed them that there was a path back to divinity they themselves could follow, this is the very basis of Altmer culture in searching and striving for perfection in all things as they became to believe because of this event that perfection is the path to divinity.

Its a good vid, and its better to gloss over some of those parts than confuse a general audience with the minute details of that particular subject, considering how speculative the properties of Lorkhan can get eg his blood splattering all over the continent of Nirn after his heart was ripped out, thus forming Ebony deposits and why Vvardenfell is richest in these deposits.

    "In time, Ahnurr and Fadomai wished to share the happiness they felt in life with further children, and so, Fadomai gave birth [...]. Ahnurr decided to stop having children since further offspring would dilute their happiness. However, Fadomai was persuaded by Khenarthi to give birth to further children, and this she did, bringing forth Nirni..." oh, it all makes sense now!

    I've spent 2 days geeking out, reading the lore about the creation on wiki pages. It was helpful to see what I understood in my mind represented visually (thus clearing up remaining confusion about the various entities involved). It also validated my completed confusion caused by the whole bit about the heart and I am now able to rest knowing that it is either beyond the mortal realm's capability to understand, or maybe the historians just got the facts mixed up and confused everyone (just like the Bible!). So we likely will never know. I really appreciate you doing this for the Skyrim community!

    Great job Decadence Knight! After Many years of playing I finally decided TODAY to try and figure this all out and through a couple of hours of online research and countless books read on my main character, this is exactly the conclusion i came to as well. Even the part where Morrowind is the best out of the newer games. I will note a question i have yet to figure out in that the distinction between the et'Ada being called the Aedra and Daedra is just a name given to them by the mer in regards to who helped in their creation and who didn't. OR is it in regards to some being affiliated with Anu and Padomey or order and chaos. I belief the former rather than the latter but id love to hear what you think. Again great job man and thank you for putting time into this and doing it well.

    Love your lore videos. Can't believe I'm only finding them now. Morrowind is also my favourite, although I played Oblivion first and it was my first game entering the ES world. My mum, sisters and I became huge fans of the game. I feel so lucky that I get to share this love for TES with my family. My mum has always loved magic, the LOTR books for example, and shared that love of magic with me growing up. Now we get to also share the magic of TES world. She bought Morrowind (for PC) in a charity shop for £1 and later I bought the game of the year edition. Of course when Skyrim came out, we got it too but Morrowind will always be my absolute favourite. I prefer the experience of actually having to locate places using clues and sign posts rather than the arrow in Oblivion and Skyrim. It feels more, well, real I guess. I loved reading the lore but often found it a bit overwhelming. Amazing, but a lot of info to take in. I found myself opening tab after tab to look something up when reading a particular piece. I really appreciate the videos and you've presented them wonderfully. I'll have to show them to my mum too. The music is a lovely touch also. Just hearing the ES music conjures up feelings of magic. Much thanks from Scotland!

    I understand that Shor is basically the nords representation of Lorkhan but Lorkhan had his heart ripped out and it became red mountain. According to Ysgramor, Shor asked the spirits of Sovngarde to lay down their weapons and not to fight Alduin in Sovngarde. How could Shor/Lorkhan tell them this if his heart was destroyed by the Nerevarine and his body became Masser and Secunda and Nirn.
