It's PTR lore, though, I think it's partly based on MK's ramblingsThe man who became Indoril Nerevar was originally a nameless caravan guard for House Mora. He killed the "real" Nerevar (who was, to be fair, a greedy and corrupt man) and took his place. This imposter would wed Almalexia and leave his mark on history as champion of the Chimer.

Oh I know the story, which is why I picked up on the little Chimer thief reading a masked Chimer's warrior's hand and the most likely pair that could be despite young Vivec not normally being depicted with tits. Who knew that trusting a prostitute in his inner circle was going to blow up in his face?

I downloaded a modlist once. For some reason it included a mod where you can punch trees and houses for wood like it was Minecraft. It just deletes the house completely but leaves the door. You can load into the interior and punch the wall and it deletes the entire interior cell. 10/10 gameplay enhancer

why do secondaries think that TES is supposed to be some grimdark setting where every race is constantly trying to kill each other down to the individual level when all the main games except skyrim take place in a prosperous era dominated by an empire that actively encourages cosmopolitanism and tolerance and even the game of morrowind itself tells you that exactly half of vvardenfell's population are non-dunmer colonists from said tolerant empire

It is longstanding canon since at least Daggerfall that young elf women are a thousand times hornier than elf men and most of them go slutting it up with humans, khajiit, trolls, goblins, dogs etc for a few centuries before finding themselves and settling down with some boring elf nerd their family approves of. All the genocidal thalmor incels probably have more male human ancestors than altmer.
>>
>>
>>734021992
Setting aside that has literally never been a thing post-TES2, even in Daggerfall itself that stereotype was applied specifically to the Dunmer, not elves in general. Probably because sexy femme fatale dark elves are a common fantasy trope and Daggerfall was ultimately just shitty generic fantasy

And the game main quest revolves around you becoming a folktale hero of dunmer that they hope is going to drive away the Empire (and its people with it).
The main antagonist of the game is also quite open about eradicating non-dunmer as part of his master plan.
Even wholesome Oblivion has mention of racial tensions within the empire, such as in the city of Leyawiin, not mentioning the entire lore behind Ayleids.

Anyway, the main reason some are baffled over your comment is the fact that specific picture has been regularly posted in Morrowind for literal fucking years at this point and, yet, somehow only now do we get retards claiming it's some some "nu-DnD" thing.

Padomay isn't the same as the Sithis the DB worships.
>“…appropriately, Padomay is just as ineffable an entity as Anu. This is how the Psijiic Order treats him, at least. His original (Aldmeris? Ehlnofex?) name is PSJJJJ, which is and was meant to be unpronounceable. The Order was founded and organized to divine Padomay’s eternal and ever-changing mystery. “Sithis” is a corruption of “Psijii” which, in turn, was a derivation of the high concept PSJJJJ. Sithis was born when a nihilist sect of the already doom-ridden Chimeri merged (under Mephala’s tutelage) Daedric elements with the Inexpressible Action that was Padomay. In essence they began to revere Padomay’s Chaos nature (as opposed to that of Anu, who is Order), and over the years degenerated into a thuggish mystery-cult which wanted to “murder the world.” The Dark Brotherhood was born in these times– which, in Morrowind, is known as the Morag Tong.

Well, the eternal disappointment of the lore being far more awesome than the game we got.
Skyrim was supposed to have a decent number of people able to Shout - the Companions, for instance, the current ruler. It was rare but not that rare. Skyrim just made you the sole people able to shout, witht the monks. The Companions were supposed to be able to do it tho.
Skyrim was supposed to have a Bard College which was huge, possibly the most important, and the biggest on the continent. I think there is a bard college questline in a city as a joke, once?
The Dwemer museum was supposed to be far more imposing and impossibly awesome. Skyrim just said nah fuck off.
Just the lore not living up to its expectation, and Bethesda not giving much of a fuck. I'm still salty about my Oblivion Nasa space program thou

>And here we see the first sign of the Unnamed Ones, known as Morag “The Dark Brotherhood” Tong!
https://www.imperial-library.info/content/redguard-forum-madness
DB/Morag Tong lore is a complete clusterfuck. Even before Oblivion they flip-flopped between being Mephala cultists and Sithis worshippers each game, and then Idiot Pagliarulo decided he wanted to turn them into an 'evil' Catholic church which muddied the waters even more. There are multiple origin stories for the DB, one book claims it's an offshoot of the Thieves' Guild, another claims it's from a sect of the Morag Tong located in Bravil, another claims they broke off with the Morag Tong over the worship of Vivec (even though we see in Morrowind they don't worship Vivec, and the DB doesn't worship Mephala).
There's no neat answer for it, it's just a mess and their depiction depends on who's writing.

It's incredibly confusing. In Arena they're a Sithis cult
>"The Dark Brotherhood are loyal followers of Sithis, God of Death. They are sworn to uphold the tenements of Chaos"
In Daggerfall the DB is a full-on Mephala cult
>"Mephala is the Daedra Regent of Murder and Patroness of the Dark Brotherhood."
In Redguard the Morag Tong worships Sithis
>Like all members of the Morag Tong, Dram worships Sithis, the God of Death; indeed, he is a thrice-born initiate who continues his faith even after his exile.
But in Morrowind the Morag Tong is a Mephala cult, and the Dark Brotherhood is associated with Dagon worship. The DB also happens to have a Night Mother, and the Morag Tong doesn't even though historically the Tong had them as well (see Sermon 22 and 2920)
>"The Dark Brotherhood is an ancient secret association of assassins. They do not advertise their services or their creed, but they are an outlawed secret society with an evil reputation, and are often associated with Daedra worship"
In Oblivion we see the Dark Brotherhood are Sithis worshippers who might also worship Mephala in the form of the Night Mother, and that's what they stick with in Skyrim too.

>When the Morag Tong assassinated the Emperor Reman in the year 2920 of the first era, and his successor, Potentate Versidae-Shae [sic] in the 324th year of the second era, the assassins so long in the shadows were suddenly thrust into the light. They had become brazen, drunk with murder, literally painting the words 'MORAG TONG' on the wall in the Potentate's blood.
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Fire_and_Darkness
>All leaders of the Morag Tong, and then afterward the Dark Brotherhood, have been called the Night Mother. Whether the same woman (if it is even a woman) has commanded the Dark Brotherhood since the Second Era is unknown. What is believed is that the original Night Mother developed an important doctrine of the Morag Tong-the belief that, while Mephala does grow stronger with every murder committed in her name, certain murders were better than others. Murders that came from hate pleased Mephala more than murders committed because of greed. Murders of great men and women pleased Mephala more than murders of relative unknowns.
>We can approximate the time this belief was adopted with the first known murder committed by the Morag Tong. In the year 324 of the Second Era, the Potentate Versidue-Shaie was murdered in his palace in what is today the Elsweyr kingdom of Senchal. In a brash move, the Night Mother announced the identity of the murderers by painting "MORAG TONG" on the walls in the Potentate's own blood.
>Previous to that, the Morag Tong existed in relative peace, more or less like a witches' coven-occasionally persecuted but usually ignored. In remarkable synchronicity at a time when Tamriel the Arena was a fractured land, the Morag Tong was outlawed throughout the continent. Every sovereign gave the cult's elimination his highest priority. Nothing more was officially heard of them for a hundred years.

It seems ridiculous to me they didn't do the wookiepedia thing and isolate ESO and pre-ESO lore. It makes shit unreadable. Even if you're charitable to ESO material a lot of pages end up almost illegible because there's this constant back and forth of "x was this way, but actually in 2e it was this, but later it was revealed, but by the 3rd era it was..." because of how much it conflicts with stuff, then it'll have an aside about the fireshadow battle wombats y figure was always known to keep because of ESO's cash-shop spam attached to everything.

The only thing I'd consider "off" are how bright it is, but it's not like Vvardenfell never has blue skies. It's just kind of a gray game because of the fog and certain areas like the ashlands. But head down to Vivec or over to the grasslands and it's not that dim. Suran is somewhere in between, being pretty close to Vivec, but also on the border of Molag Amur.
Morrowind as a game is pretty quiet and muted in a lot of ways (visually, actual sound, combat, etc.) but I don't see why people need to make that a restraint for their artwork. Outside of religious centers, Vvardenfell was not particularly segregated. There's a few Dunmer-specific institutions like the Temple, but even the Morag Tong had a variety of other races within its ranks, including an Argonian. One of the biggest themes in Morrowind is that Dunmer culture is paradoxical and strange, in no small part due to the nature of the armistice.

Like the other guy said, they're currently planned to be in the remake of the Telvanni lands in a couple years. From what i understood of their planning doc, the Dust Adepts are the apprentices/servants of the Dust Masters, together they form an even crazier and more xenophobic House Telvanni subculture that lives in a desert plagued with toxic magic dust that makes them magically powerful & somewhat prophetic but also really insane, with the Dust Adepts wearing masks like those to protect themselves from the dust while the Masters can breathe it just fine. Their capital is also in a big mountain that acts as a hive for a subspecies of tiny colonial cliff racers.

I would be completely in favor of them remaking this game with the story and lore completely intact but I guess expanding upon the gameplay and landmass you can explore. Of course though this is modern bethesda so its for the best it never gets a remake. But Morrowind was their most soulful and important game that originally put them on the map that also is definitely going to be seen as dated by todays standards. I can still enjoy it, but I can't lie and say I'd recommend it to anybody who didn't grow up with gaming from that time period. Characters stand around doing fuck all. Its going to seem like quite a dead world. Advances in AI and characters having schedules made Oblivion and Skyrim feel so much more lively.

Both of the other guys you replied to are right. The lore for basically everyone at the time via Pocket Guide had all the races up to some unique or weird shit (don't forget the flying Nordic space whales or what Nibenayans were originally like), with the Dunmer/Morrowind specifically they actively wanted to make them strange even compared to that, both aesthetically and in terms of their cosmogony. Turns out Kirkbride being an occultist schizo who loaded in a bunch of Crowleyan and Hindu shit fit that perfectly.
>>
>>
>>734063590
sky whales are from the PGE 2, which was an out of game Kirkbride thing made with the specific intent of being as weird as possible, not accurately portraying the races
that being said the actual PGE nords were still significantly more out there than the TES V ones

It doesn't change a thing about Tiber Septim's story whatsoever, right?
>>

>>734065052
I mean, Tiber Septim's story already revolves around the fact he was really a scrawny breton cunt who backstabbed betrayed and lied his way into godhood, with the orthodox story of his ascension being just propaganda

Would be better and more in keeping with the base game if they left stuff like this vague and open to interpretation. Conflicting accounts =/= you have to 'fix it' by making a narrative where both are true but I guess that's autismo brain at work.

>>734065158

Okay, so that's canon then, the first Septim and one of the Nine Divines was actually a drug addicted hobo, and that wasn't even his real name.
Let's keep going. Yagrum Bagarn? The last living dwemer? He's not actually a dwemer, he's just a dunmer that got a hold of the dwemer engineering and history books, and he's masquerading as one for special treatment.
Another great improvement that TES required, don't you agree?

>>734065454
>the first Septim and one of the Nine Divines was actually a drug addicted hobo, and that wasn't even his real name.
No, but the official games themselves do indeed go out of their way to leave open the possibility that he was really Breton from the isle of Alcaire who couldn't shout, preferred court intrigue to battle, was more than ready to give up on ever conquering Morrowind and the Aldmeri Dominion until he learned about the Numidium's existence, and whose success and ascencion to godhood was a result of him manipulating and betraying Zurin Arctus and Wulfharth. And yes, it is indeed a great piece of lore that gives both the setting and the character some much needed depth.
But let me guess, you'd rather have him be perfect human Dragonborn Jesus, right?

Why are you ignoring the homeless crack addict part? Wasn't present in the original game?
That's exactly why it needs to be written into lore, this boring breton story you're telling me is awfully boring and reeks of generic "zero-to-hero" tropes, we need to add more subversion into it to make it actually good.
>>
>>734066263
Why are you raving about homeless crack addicts, exactly? PTR's Nerevar wasn't a homeless crack addict either, he was a humble but righteous guard who killed a greedy and unpleasant nobleman and led his people better than said nobleman ever could. Can't get more zero-to-hero than that
>>
>>734035009
My takeaway from all this is that all of these guys just kinda like killing and both groups dress up their killing as worship as a way to justify it, but ultimately, neither of them are actually devout enough to even keep their stories straight about which god they serve

it would be nice if they would run with the idea of musical magic mentioned in the thread and add a second magic system based on shouts, sword singing, tonal architecture and speechcraft. maybe present it to the player as less systematized, more difficult to learn and folksy but a useful toolbox for nonmagical characters.

The issue with pushing every important lore element out of the mod for being 'out of scope' is that it cripples what TR/PT itself can actually do with worldbuilding, NPCs, and quests. SHOTN should by all accounts feature NPCs with the Voice and quests related to this vital element of Nord culture, but if you push the concept out of the mod and 'left it to other modders' suddenly you can't actually feature it in SHOTN at all, and thus you've departed from Morrowind-era lore Skyrim and deprived yourself of interesting setting elements.
>>
>>734075732
Morrowind-era Skyrim lore already had the voice be an incredibly rare thing largely monopolized by the greybeards (Tiber Septim's college of the voice was called out as a bunch of charlatans in the one time it waa first mentioned) so if they feel the need to have it physically show up at all they could just have it be some scripted quest-specific thing

The confusion comes from the fact that the Altmer are very, very interested in presenting the fiction that Mer ARE a unified brotherhood derived from themselves with them on top. Just ignore that the Dunmer despise them, the Bosmer were treated better by the Imperials, they enslaved the Orsimer, they refused to help the Falmer against the Nords, they exiled the Maormer, and they refuse to acknowledge Khajiit are Mer until it's time to manipulate them. The only elves they didn't specifically mistreat are the Ayleids.

Maybe, though I do wonder if it's not a symbol of connection to Auri-el and if the PTR team is gonna keep the fanon connection between birds and Auri-el. There's the interesting line from Mannimarco from Where Were You When the Dragon Broke
>So could the High King of Alinor, who was the one who broke it in the first place.
Plus the royal line of Alinor can trace their ancestry directly to Auri-el in PTR lore. Which I feel is also implied but not confirmed in canon, what with most Altmer claiming descent form Auri-el but also at one point adopting the ancestors of their betters and who wouldn't be the best ancestor for the highest house other than Auri-el plus that whole thing of the Ayleids swearing nominal fealty to the king of Alinor indicating he's a big deal in merish society and not just a regular king.

All mortals are Ehlnofey, weak et'ada who lost their immortality making Mundus. Cursed to continue via childmaking instead.

All being descended from Auri-El would mean differently is just that Akatosh fucked someone at some point, which isn't a big stretch.

>something they just made up, for no particular reason?
They didn't tho, much like the Arcturian Heresy, it is simply an attempt to reconciliate two contradictory pieces of lore
Instead of insulting you i'll help you out a little bit: You see, in the Sermons of Vivec, Nerevar is explicitly stated to have been a lowly Caravan Guard who slew the owner of the caravan he guarded and took it for himself. While in some of Douglas Goodall's writings, Nerevar is stated to have been a member of the noble House Mora, which matters because Douglas Goodall is a former official Betheada writer. All the PTR narrative does is make it so the master of the caravan was Nerevar Mora and his name of identity one of the things he took, which was already implied in the original narrative, i.e you're sperging out over slightly more context being added to a canon story sprinkled in with semi-canon information

I thought your complaint was that the whole idea was stupid, out of nowhere and somehow ruins Nerevar's character? For your information, the other canon elements of Nerevar's backstory don't even contradict the caravan thing, for all intents of purposes that in particular is something that did objectively happen. And how else would you want to explain some caravan guard suddenly becoming a scion of a prestigious noble house that was not the one his wife was a part of?
You're throwing a whole tantrum over something you clearly knew little about in the first place lmao
>It happened hundreds of years ago, why ruin the mystery?
Because they still need a coherent sequence of historical events to follow when writing history, which is important to set up the content you actually get to interact with. And again, because it's cool
>>
>>734095094
>I thought your complaint was that the whole idea was stupid, out of nowhere and somehow ruins Nerevar's character?
And where did I say that this isn't the case?
It ruins Nerevar's character because we his backstory is now set in stone that he's a fraud. Even if he did accomplish the things he is known for, he did it by committing fraud.
And it did come out of nowhere because even if some elements are present in the original story, the full picture, which the PTR team now set in stone, have no basis in the actual lore.
>how else would you want to explain some caravan guard suddenly becoming a scion of a prestigious noble house that was not the one his wife was a part of?
In hundreds of ways. It ultimately doesn't matter and doesn't have to involve gigantic retcons to achieve.
>Because they still need a coherent sequence of historical events to follow when writing history
Why? Once again, we still don't know everything about many historical figures, and even entire civilizations, does that mean humanity has to forever remain stagnant and not progress until we learn the absolute truth about everything?
>You're throwing a whole tantrum over something you clearly knew little about in the first place lmao

>have no basis in the actual lore.
He killed a merchant and stole all his shit, that's 100% canon. He was also somehow a member of House Mora, that's semi-canon since it came from the mouth of an official writer. How is mixing these two things bad, beyond your personal distaste for "fraud"?
>it's you having a meltie that I questioned you including your tranny fanfic about an important lore character in such a big modding project.
Nah, I'm just genuinely baffled at why the fuck somebody would care about this much about the backstory of a character you clearly knew nothing about beyond "he was elf jesus or something" in the first place (while also telling you why it's not a particularly unreasonable at all)
Anyway, since the answer seems to be "because i don't wanna play as the reincarnation ofnsomeone who committed fraud :((((" i think it's about time this conversation stopped

You can see a couple on this much older, very outdated map >>734102703. I'd guess they decided to give the bulk of them wacky Argonian and Dunmer (in the case of Alten Corimont/Altim & Tenmar Wall/Tenmal) like they did to most of Morrowind's Arena locations, with the only exception being Seafalls since it's explicitly a foreign colony according to their culture doc
>>

>>734103756
I remember they went back on a lot of the wacky Dunmer names in Morrowind, like it's back to Blacklight for example. Wonder if that'll end up happening here. I'm personally not hostile to them using native names if it's a native settlement, but if it's specifically supposed to be an imperial colony like, for example, Glenbridge, it should use the Tamrielic (English) name and not the local Saxhleel equivalent (I think Gul-Tej here?) It just doesn't make sense because it's NOT a native Argonian town.

because theyre pathetic crybullies, they are excited at the thought of dominating, causing pain to or humiliating others but will break down and try to act sympathetic if the same things happen to them. whereas other races either wouldnt give themselves up or would at least try to put on a tough face if they thought they would be enslaved or executed, skaven have absolutely no internal desire to act brave or stoic. also this specific picture was drawn by a guro fan.

Nah there's a bunch of sources outside of the Sermons that point out that Vivec has a vagina. It's his pussy he flirts with Nerevar over, not his dick. If anything there's a lack of evidence he had a penis before godhood. You could make a better case that Vivec was a girl who presented as a boy for whatever reason, then used his godhood to make himself a hermaphrodite in fact.
>>
>>
>>734117073
Maybe, if you're only really interested in discussing this from the perspective of what Bethesda considers canon. The problem there is, Bethesda has not thought about nor do they care if Vivec's genitals are different than what he says they are. They're not likely to contradict the hermaphrodite story or add any layers to it. Now Zenimax Online might, but they also intentionally lean into the Kirkbride weirdness for Morrowind (and even had him write a thing,) even if they bungle it badly, so if we want to talk from an ESO perspective then it's worth considering what that OOG material says, at least when it comes to Morrowind. So that just leaves the TR/modder/Morrowind fandom perspective, which is to accept or dismiss or build upon or contradict Kirkbride OOG stuff at their whim and in whatever way they find interesting and internally consistent, so while they're not likely to put down anything concrete (and in fact can't,) that stuff is likely to be presented or at least considered as part of their lore. So really to round it out my point is just that yeah, Vivec's genital situation is dubious, but he says he's a hermaphrodite in in-game sources. If you want to argue he's not, your only actual proof is out of game sources, in which case he looks more like he was originally a girl than a boy just based on what junk he talks about having pre-ascension outside of the Sermons. So the 'discount Kirkbride' stance would be that he actually is a hermaphrodite, and only with Kirkbride can you present evidence he's anything else.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>734118764
My point is that you don't have any proof Vivec could be lying without Kirkbride's OOG material, because the in-game material all says he's a hermaphrodite. You can still claim he's lying sure, but then there's no evidence.
>>
>>734118764
Even ignoring OOG texts Vivec is a futa in-game, he's the androgyne anticipation of Mephala. Thematically it wouldn't make sense if he wasn't a phase shifting tranny as MK eloquently put it. He's the hermaphrodite to Almalexia's female and Sil's male.

"Mora" just means wood/forest in elvish, with the word "Atmora" being just a corruption of its Altmer name, Ald Mora, the Elder Wood. It's also why Balmora has its name, in Arena it was a town named Stoneforest.

The human blood probably comes from Queen Lian who comes after Nerevar. I have something cooler though, according to MK the translation of "HERMA-MORA-ALTADOON! AE ALTADOON!" is "The weapons of the unstable man! We are the weapons!". So it's possible that Mora has a secondary meaning besides forests (Balmora - Stone Forest, Morag Tong - Forester's Guild), it could also mean "unstable". Nerevar has the ghartoki, the Hands of Change (GHARTOK PADHOME GHARTOK PADHOME), his House is "unstable". That's because his story parallels Lorkhan creating Nirn. Morrowind is the Lorkhan game. "Lorkhan! Unstable mutant!".

I'll expand on what I mean when I say "Morrowind is the Lorkhan game". The drumbeat of Nerevar Rising is a heartbeat. The Tribunal and the Aedra are paralleled
>The Ashlanders say the Great Houses and the Temple have abandoned the pure teachings of the Prophet Veloth, forsaking ancestor worship for the false gods of the Tribunal, and embracing the comforts of civilization that corrupted the High Elves.
and
>One idea, however, became jealous and did not want to die; like the stasis, he wanted to last. This was the demon Anui-El, who made friends, and they called themselves the Aedra. They enslaved everything that Sithis had made and created realms of everlasting imperfection. Thus are the Aedra the false gods, that is, illusion.
The Tribunal killing Nerevar and taking his place as ruler of Morrowind is another parallel to the Aedra killing Lorkhan and taking his place as rulers of Nirn.
>Lorkhan had found the Aedric weakness... Thus did he present himself as such to the demon Anui-El and the Eight Givers: as a friend.
> Go unto the Sharmat Dagoth Ur as a friend.
>.After the world is materialized, Lorkhan is separated from his divine center, sometimes involuntarily, and wanders the creation of the et'Ada.
FOUL MURDER
>"An Ashlander religious cult called the Nerevarine cult believes prophecies of a reincarnation of the ancient Dunmer hero Nerevar who will come to cast down the false gods of the Tribunal Temple, and drive all outlanders from Morrowind. The cult is outlawed by the Temple and the Empire."

>>>What do you mean this area has tons of dialogue implying that anyone could be Nerevarine and Azura has been throwing bodies at it?
The reincarnation of Souls is a real thing in TES. The Soul of Nerevar didn't inhabit 10 literal whos only for him to succeed on the 11th attempts
The idea that Azura is "a lying bitch who just wants to win" is out of game fanjerking and canonically Azura is a loving and caring goddess (opposite of Alm)
Nerevarine IS meant to be Nerevar incarnate, its not something Dagoth Ur would make a mistake with, unlike with the other jobbers. Nerevarine is not mantling Nerevar because Nerevar wasn't divine, and Nerevarine is objectively supreme to Nerevar (unlike the HoK achieving CHIM through Pelenial/Sheogorath which aped Lorkhan/Akatosh's relationship)
>they messed up one of the steps of a prophecy ergo
The Nerevarine is also a Prisoner, has metaphysical acuity and also happened to live in a time of great upheval, blessed even by Aedra. Nerevarine can even complete the MQ if the 'thread of prophecy is severed' because the prophecy wasnt a ritualistic trick, the PC IS Nerevarine.

Yes he did. From 7th sign of 11th generation. All of them held the metaphysical signature of one who could become Nerevarine.
>canonically Azura is a loving and caring goddess
See her Daggerfall depiction
>Nerevarine is not mantling Nerevar because Nerevar wasn't divine
Nerevar IS a considered a god actually.
>Nerevar (Godkiller): The Chimeri king of Resdayn, the Golden Age of old Veloth. Slain during the Battle of Red Mountain, Nerevar was the Herald of the Triune Way, and is the foremost of the saints of Dunmeri faith. He is said to have killed Dumac, the Last Dwarven King, and feasted on his heart.
Nerevar is considered to be a son of Boethiah by the Nords and capable of killing Lorkhan
>This Nerevar is the son of Boethiah, one of the strongest Padomaics. He is a hero to his people despite his Tribunal, and he shall muster enough that this battle will be harder going still.
>But Nerevar feigned the death that was coming early and so struck Lorkhan with surprise on his side. The Heart had been made solid by Sunder's tuning blow and Keening could now cut it out. And it was cut out and Lorkhan was defeated and the whole ordeal was thought over.
In the 36 Lessons Nerevar is considered a Ruling King by Vivec
> 'I told you,' Vivec said, 'I am meant to be the teacher of the king of the earth. AE ALTADOON GHARTOK PADHOME.'
> There, Nerevar was greeted by the Parliament of Craters, who knew him by title and resented his presence, for he was to be a ruling king of earth and this was the lunar realm. They shifted around him in a pattern of entrapment.
>By chance, Nerevar met the Void Ghost first, who told him that he was in the wrong place to which the Hortator said, 'Me or you?' and the Void Ghost said both. This sermon does not tell what else was said between these masters.

Nerevar is also stated to be a god in this interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU9CcCscgRM&t=765s
HOWEVER, Nu-hatta of the sphinxmoth inquiry tree does tell us that mantling and incarnation are two different roads so you're correct on that (that same text identifies the Nerevarine as a god btw)
>Nerevarine: "Pantheon by incarnation, as all alive now know."
What's the difference between mantling and incarnation? See the Mysterium Xarxes
>We mortals leave the dreaming-sleeve of birth the same, unmantled save for the symbiosis with our mothers
Incarnates are born pre-mantled. They aren't the Nerevarine, but they're the ones who have the metaphysical signature required to become one. Remember Azura gives the player a prophetic dream before the game even starts, the protagonist IS special, but also not at the same time.

Its because the esoteric stuff brought in by Oblivion relates to lore/metaphysics but not culture
Such as:
The nature of Nirn as an Egg that writes 'history' through the Aedra to grow, entangling through 'people', that Dagon teaches Mankar how to reset the history of to 0 allowing people to rewrite their faith and origin. The Amulet of Kings is Esoterically absorbed as the Septims die, allowing Nirn to naturally ward off Daedra instead of needing a symbol of Lorkhan from Akatosh. Talos was the only one to go through this historic process and by conquest and merger, become a God (unlike Lorkhan he wasn't 'betrayed' after putting everyone into his realm) but the Aldmeri are trying to undo his history, and attempting to undo history brings forth Alduin.
Trinimac becoming Malacath was him 'escaping' Daedra and deciding to become Daedra in spite being an Aedra (similar to Meridia being a Magna) and the harshness of Nirn towards those in Malacaths sphere are due to him being most hated by Lorkhan. He is vengeful and petty towards Lorkhan, which is why his realm is just anger issues.
Sheogorath/Jyggalag are a form of Lorkhan/Akatosh and the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles were both about the CoC achieving CHIM in a 'Daedric' manner, in a way that Mankar Cammoran himself failed to achieve.
And of course Talos terraforming Cyrodil for his red legions which was made cannon.

>Because one says that Vivec was born from an egg fully-formed and bit Molag Bal's dick off
Allegory and a metaphor for rape complete with disassociation.
They're Apocryphal texts written in order to teach the Nerevarine CHIM. Regardless of the literal truth of the text, the metaphysics behind it are solid and they're essential to understanding Elder Scrolls.

They also mantle Sheogorath, and the Shivering Isles has an esoteric subplot implying Sheogorath/Jyggalag is actually a pattern for achieving CHIM and that Sheogorath is the 'Daedric Lorkhan/Lorkhans Shadow (thus Akatosh)' (and not Dagon as Cammoran implied). There's a

Ironically you're getting filtered by surface level ideas of madness. The whole point of it as per Greek is to see the absurdities and suffering of life and dissolve it in pleasure. Sheogorath is more related to Lorkhan/Aka than Dagon is. And it ending with you becoming Sheogorath after pushing back the Order you brought in and walled off with a Gatekeeper is layer of layer a story about initiation. Every step of the main quest is grooming the player into a mindset, which is why the players state of mind is never stated, instead the Player (You) is meant to have a personal, mystical experience.
Even the words Mania and Dementia as per their Greek use fit the idea. And Skyrims Sheo is confirmed to be the CoC, who will then go on to become Jyggalag as others before him have and achieve true perfection (Jyggalag has all perfect knowledge deduced).
