Source of a thousand sperm jokes, sourced by a loved-upon hillock, and of course a force of mythology, divinity, and providence. That's Reman the Cyrod, and he's all we're talking about today on the Selectives Lorecast, a casual Elder Scrolls podcast.

Though this sermon speaks clearly about the necessity to rid oneself of the rigid and inflexible natures, connections to spiritual enlightenment and self-awareness are hidden just beneath the surface. It features the first flaw in Vivec's character that must be defeated according to hir nature. This is an act of Love under Will, since Vivec is not preoccupied with what ze will or won't gain. There is no desire for result, just adherence to hir Will. Ze thinks only of the task at hand.

The Wheel is a symbol and a metaphor that most Lore Nerds are familiar with, and it's hard to get into Elder Scrolls metaphysics without learning a bit about this concept. The Sermon of the Wheel is where we get a lot of that information, and we're going to really pick it apart today.

We've actually covered the Unreliable Narrator before, but only very briefly, and a lot of thought has happened since then, so we thought we should give it another shot. And honestly, we're going to be doing a few more fundamentally philosophical casts like this in the future as we lay the groundwork to explain why The Elder Scrolls is so different from other settings.

I think it's safe to say this is one of the best casts we've ever done. We were ready to write off Mara as kind of filler content, but that was a huge mistake. Never underestimate anything, folks. We found some great connections and some lovely hidden lore that was new to many of us. Come check this out, it's really good!

The Selectives are back, discussing Dunmer culture, which is uncharacteristic of us, I think we'll all agree. Not something we normally bring up in every cast we've ever done. Also we had a lot of audio problems in this cast, but this should be the last one with issues.

We did this cast just before we started on the Daedric Princes, and for some reason it didn't get uploaded at the time. So here it is, a COVID-inspired cast about diseases in Tamriel, featuring LOTS of speculation on how they actually work.

Do you guys think Sanguine has his own line of wine? Do you think it's a merlot? He seems to me like he might be the kind of Prince to put out seasonal ales with weird flavor profiles, and people look at them and think "I should try that some time," but they never do. They just buy, you know, whatever they usually get.

Elder Scrolls Online has brought us a wealth of new lore about our favorite Clockwork Basketball player, Sotha Sil! So we invited TrainWiz to come back and geek out with us about the Mystery of ALMSIVI. 

Also, we'd like to help spread the word about TrainWiz's new kickstarter, "Underspace", which is shaping up to be the game Freelancer fans wish for. Check it out at https://store.steampowered.com/app/11... because it looks like just the kind of weird space stuff that gets our CHIMmies all rustled up.

The Scripture of the Sword details some important information concerning the Second Walking Way, and gives Vivec the opportunity to advise us all on how we should live both halves of our lives. Somehow, ze does this without ever recommending sunscreen or Crossfit, which is nice.
