The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Nineteen

Real author : Michael Kirkbride Original media : TES 3 : Morrowind By Vivec Vivec put on his armor and stepped into a non-spatial space filling to capacity with mortal interaction and information, a canvas-less cartography of every single mind it has ever known, an event that had developed some semblance of a divine spark. He said, 'From here I shall launch my attack on the eight monsters.' Vivec then saw the moths that would come from the starry heart, bringing with them dust more horrible than the ash of Red Mountain. He saw the twin head of a ruling king who had no equivalent. And eight imperfections rubbed into precious stones, set into a crown that looked like shackles, which he understood to be the twin crowns of the two-headed king. And a river that fed into the mouth of the two-headed king, because he contained multitudes. Vivec then built the Provisional House at the Center of the Secret Door. From here he could watch the age to come. Of the House is written: Cornerstone one has a finger Buried under, pointing through Dirt, slow low in the ground North cannot be guessed, And yet it is spirit-free Cornerstone two has a tongue, And even dust can be talkative, Listen and you will see the love The ancient libraries need Cornerstone three has a bit of string, Shaped like your favorite color, A girl remembers who left it there But she is afraid to dig it out, And see what it is attached to Cornerstone four has nine bones, Removed carefully from a black cat, Arranged in the fashion of this word, Protecting us from our enemies Your house is safe now So why is it-- Your house is safe now So why is it-- The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. ◄ The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Eighteen ▲ The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Twenty ►
