[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8773756, member: 6803643"] I find the esoteric metaphysics behind The Elder Scrolls (and specifically, between the ancient Elvish and ancient Mannish belief systems) perhaps the best analogy for the Lawful vs Chaotic axis of D&D. Lorkhan and Akatosh are two heads of the same insane dragon god of Time. Time = Space Order = Chaos Stasis = Entropy one is a bright nothingness where no time passes, one is a dark void that lacks any space. It's when I AM realises that such implies that there is also an I AM NOT that the two differentiate, and in the interplay of IS/IS NOT we get the Grey Maybe, the Arena of Dawn's Beauty. Is it no wonder that Auri-El is the greatest divinity in the Altmeri Pantheon, and Shor is the hero king of the Nords? That Akatosh of the Imperial Divines is seen as a human corruption of Auri-el by the Dominion, due to the pollution of Shezarr, while the Marukhati Selectives may have instead been trying to purge the Elvish aspects of Akatosh from their Time Dragon when they broke time itself in the Middle Dawn? Where were YOU when the Dragon Broke? [/QUOTE]
