I found this weird skull im the soul cairn placed on top of a dragon spine. It is a large human skull with antlers and the strangest part is that if you look behind the skull instead of a bottom jaw it has another top jaw! When you enter the soul cairn turn left. It was close to the invisible wall. I have not found any creature that looks like. Maybe you could find out what it is?
The reaper of the soul carin is probably some type of last resort weapon created by the ideal masters or was the original guardian of the realm before Dirniver bought the bone guardians.
@@rohhsand3044 but the second part is stated that Dirnivier brought what would later become the bone guardians so I was mas making a educated guess on the purpose of the the reaper considering that the way to summon it is in fragments by the Skyrim rolls around.
I used the powers of console commands on a soul from the soul cairn and now I have an immortal companion! who needs the flimsy bonemen or the slow wrathmen when you can have a literal soul as your ally
I've found the proliferation of ghosts with unresolved tragedies needing resolution by a mortal agent that we see in Skyrim's CC content to be enjoyable. It feels like one of the most story-correlated quest types in Skyrim, if that makes any sense?
@@Cheesecake_666 I think so? I never watched Casper. I only know the oft-repeated backstory. Some of the old cartoonists and comic writers had the darkest senses of humor. But, yeah... It's a convenient way to lend weight to some of the littler stories in a game which, as much as I have enjoyed it, does tend to lack punch.
I hope ghosts in TES6 are much more like Oblivion than Skyrim. They were so much more intimidating when they were actual floating wraiths than regular races covered in an ethereal glow.
@@kakyointhemilfhunter4273 Yea, they definitely used to freak me out when I was younger. Zombies and skeletons were a lot scarier in that game as well, for me. Especially skeletons with their lunging attack lol. Skeletons in Skyrim are pitiful by comparison.
God I hate those wraiths. Especially their screams and the fact you cannot harm them without a silver weapon. Also the undead in Oblivion was essentially horror fuel. Skyrim's undead is less terrifying. BUT. I adore the way skeletons just shatter when you hit them. Especially fun when you use a warhammer.
Moreover, I hope you can’t kill them with just an iron dagger or sword like you can in Skyrim. I liked when you had to use different tools for it, like magic or a silver weapon or of course a magical weapon. But that’s probably too much to ask from Bethesda these days.
Great video, I was waiting for you to mention Wisp Mothers, as they're one of ny favourite enemies in Skyrim. I like the theory that Wisp Mothers are the results of Dwemer experiments on Snow Elves. So I'll be interested to see your thoughts on them.
Ghosts and souls are lorewise the most interesting thing in Elder scrolls (next to Daedra). That's why my characters always end up stealing the souls of their victims with black soul gems in Skyrim and summoning Ghost in Oblivion. All in all I love the gloomy and Horror atmospheres in those games
That opening was awesome. Maybe Fudgemuppet should create a full scary vid with an original story based in the Elder Scrolls or Fallout universe. That’d be sick for Halloween!
Just clicked on and am already loving this! Edit: It's kind of a shame how ghosts have been watered down in Skyrim from Oblivion where only silver and enchanted weapons could harm them. I think returning to that or something like it in TES VI would make them so much more unique and memorable again.
People forget how easily one could get a silver weapon or an enchanted one, so the whole normal weapon immunity was generally turned irrevelant within first few hours of game. Now implementing something more interesting could work, not a weapon immunity, but rather stuff that coud turn off some of their powers etc.
@@BaalFridge Well there are already anti-undead spells like turn undead and sun damage spells. So that's actually covered. Overall rebuilding how ghosts work is where the work should start. Giving them powers like invisibility, short range teleportation, combined with the ghost healing during that makes them more interesting, dangerous enemies. Sun spells and silver could cause a "spiritburn" effect that stops them from doing that. Another thing could be an effect similar to the Yrden Sign which would root ghosts in one place etc.
@@Kummitusv6lur I get what you're saying, but regardless of availability it adds to the game world in my opinion. Hell, they could bring it back in a watered down state, where Silver Weaponry does so much more damage to undead that it feels silly to not carry one. In Skyrim Silver Swords are great for a early player, but much like the iron sword its there for aesthetic purposes mid to late game. I'd say make it so even ebony and enchanted weaponry feels less effective than a weapon of silver make against wraiths, spirits and ghosts. Keeping the weapons relevant even in late game stages. Of course daedric weaponry should still be a cut above the rest. As far as availability goes, if I had to care about it, I'd just make that Silver an extremely rare drop outside of certain factions, specific high-level dungeons, or shopkeepers. With shopkeepers, silver weaponry would be very expensive and there should only be one of its type in stock. It should also have a rare enchantment to justify the price. The economy should be reworked to feel a bit more realistic than Skyrim, but that's another beast in itself.
Sam and Dean drive the Impala to Tamriel in this week's episode. See what happens when the boys have to make a deal with Maruns Dagon to get back home!
As for your ending, I have to agree I always thought of the "mothers" as more of a group of elemental spirits than undead ones. Then again most elementals in this series seem to be deadra in nature rather than, well nature-based elementals so...
I forget the quest but I do fondly remember going into a home haunted by a ghost and the sounds they made spooked the hell outta me, this was Oblivion btw so the audio at the time was very well suited
I have been waiting for this video for years, thank you so much!!!!! I love the ghosts of the Elder Scrolls universe, wish there was more... ambience with them. General hauntings, not even necessary fullbody stuff just like... idk like the House of Horrors quest, that kind of stuff happening. Seeing faces in windows etc... hey maybe that'll be in TES VI huh?
The main thing that bothered me about ghosts in skyrim unlike the previous games. Is that you didn't have to use enchanted weapons to destroy them which always seemed silly to me being spirits not flesh and bone.
Which is why you should stop playing Skyrim and start playing elden ring Skyrim is for pathetic babies hand holding quest markers, non killable Major npc’s, join any guild/faction without any consequences, no game changing consequences for dialog or actions Elden ring., a NEW open world dark fantasy, story changes based on npc’s and quest lines you take on, no quest markers, npc’s are all killable, consequences for your actions, cool mechanics (skeletons/ghost keep reviving? Bless your weapon), unlimited build options, etc etc Elden ring makes me realize just how boring Skyrim Is due to the catering to children it is
Maybe ghosts and wraiths are kept on the mortal plain due to willpower. We know from older games that magic ability comes from willpower, even non magic users can have a strong will especially at the moment of death. Think of it like, you become part of mundus, you become magica. Similar to how the force works in star wars.
The son of vastarie and her husband telacar, had a son who died, but telacar resurected his soul, he ended up as a wraith bound to a flesh atronach, at some point he was temporarily freed, wether he was bound to the atronach again or freed from the abomination remains unknown in canon
Ghosts in Skyrim were put together by lazy people. Some of them only drop ectoplasm (which makes sense), some of them drop ghostly weapons (makes less sense) and finally some ghosts drop normal regular gear (which makes no sense) because they are spirits not skeletons or draugr which are physical manifestations of the undead..
The lore of skeletons being resurrected easier than fresh kills should be implemented in the gameplay mechanics in TES6. With this but of lore it makes no sense if you easily resurrect your own fresh kills if you just started learning necromancy
One of my favourite things to do in oblivion is to equip the ring of namira or something else with the reflect spell enchantment, wait to get hit by a silence spell by a wraith mage, and watch as the wraith silences itself and become next to useless for the remainder of the fight.
Wraiths use a "lesser power" so no silencing them does not prevent them from using magic. Trust me. I tried that too. The buff is called "Lesser power: Grave silence" or something like that.
@@patrickn.4113 it might well be a lesser power, but it definitely still silences them. I’ve done it time and time again, I’ve never tried to use a silencing spell on one myself, but if you reflect it’s own one back at it with reflect spell, they become silenced.
There is just something primally terrifying about Oblivion's ghost's and wraiths. Something about their rage with no identity thing and Arkay help you if you run into one before having silver/enchanted weapons or magic.
All i can say is that oblivion haded his ghosts veeery far better than skyrim. Skyrim ghosts are ridiculous, you can kill them with a stick, any regular weapon like a non-magical iron sword will do, even pushing 'em from a tall place will do. In oblivion any attack you do with regular non-magical weapons are futile since the weapons just go through em. the ghosts float, meaning no damage, and only lightning and fire magika really work against 'em. It was always frustrationg this downgrade they made, and there is no way to fix it via creation kit that I know of.
I think the woman staring in the mirror is actually trapped by a daedric enetity the developers simply used a generic wraith to protray as it's part of a series of events going on in the region relating to a battle between cult of vermina, and a benevolent cult of a azura.
really fancy your good questioning; given that ghosts are seemingly unexplained and still not completely understood in the elder scrolls. there are still tons more of things to explore and im looking forward to what you dissert. thank you
Thank you for this video! I love talking about ghosts, and I really enjoy fighting and playing around with ghost summons in Skyrim, Although I really do wish the ghosts in Skyrim were immune to normal weapons like they are in Oblivion, I really wish there was a PS4 mod that would buff ghosts and make them much more intimidating.
Untill the current overseer of Bethesda is overthrown, the majority of all mysteries in games like Fallout and Elder Scrills will forever more be a mystery. Todd was it? Yeah Todd Howard literally believes that, including the mystery behind the disappearance of the Dwemer, all mysteries should remain mysteries.
You: *Just minding your Dragonborn business,* *Ice ghost one-shots you deep in Nordic ruins,* *then outside Nordic ruins,* *Then in an outdoor Dwemer courtyard,* *Was legit the first enemy to one shot me too…*
I normally consider ESO as canon but I wouldn't take too seriously their ghosts. ESO has a problem of chatty ghosts, there's so many, SO MANY ghosts who will just casually have conversations with you. I find it to be really bad, ghosts should be mysterious and scary, getting to talk with one should send shivers down your spine. In ESO it's like 20% of all quest givers are ghosts.
Ahh, the memories of wandering in to the ancestral tomb nearest Seyda Neen in TES III Morrowind, equipped with an iron dagger, optimism, and naiveté and running screaming back out again because the weapon had no affect.
The Reaper was a letdown. He's just a mix of existing pieces from the base game, not even Dawnguard. Its like a first time mod project, but instead Bethesda deemed it okay for the final game.
5:50 You don’t necessarily need any kind of weapons or spells to kill those ghosts. When you reached Journeyman in hand-to-hand you can take them out with your fists.
I watched you guys' reanimated undead video when it dropped and the question I was left with at the end was, "but what about the ghosts?" I ended up not commenting, because I figured this video was soon to follow, lol. Great work as always.
My fav ghost is Me. I died a long, long, long….. well you get the picture. When we came over from Atmora the priests said “take ease and find home in this ‘New Paradise.’”(Yeah, that’s a word for it.) It’s just as cold as the last spit of land we left, save for a few warm places. But even they are “marched”, if not Conquered by troublesome foes, and Horrible Monsters. The beasts and animals are worry-some on their own, but worse beasts roam. Trolls in every reach; in the blizzard, plain and every dark hole under or inbetween. Mer, unwelcoming and unforgiving in All manners of the meaning. The deep elves that dwell and build under mountain are beyond insane and hostile, but the more nomadic or surface populated tribes of Elf are just as prejudiced and crafty, I can’t explain but they Always have this blank stare; like their mind is always focused on One Agenda or One Goal, and all other mutual existences to them are irritants and “inconveniences.” One of the only reminders or at least some sense of home that also immigrated here with us were the Giants, of such renown; Ysgramor Himself fashioned his bow-string of Their Wives legendary tears. We knew they traveled with our forefathers to this place Ages before Ysgramor turned back to Atmora with vengeance on his heart, but we had heard there was a “great calamity” that ended up separating the strong pact that Men and Giants had. There was a great conflict, and the warriors sent the Frost Giants up on the mountains to protect them from being harmed or killed. After sword and shield were dropped, the men and mer rewrote the borders with mugs in hand but the Giants in this time had grown forgetful or decided to become more feral or independent and chose to live undisturbed from the world of Men. I’ve only met a few so far, they must be descendants of the Frost Giants because they have their horns but only have two eyes and skin like us, and they don’t even speak Atmoran. They seem to have taken to a new guttural grunt-speech language, I’m sure it was invented by the descendants who were natural strangers to Atmora’s Tongue. This interesting discovery confirms my suspicions that the huge loss and absence of diction and logic in the Giants is also the reason for the large population of Trolls that exist, as these foul creatures never walked Atmora. Frost Giants are the forefathers of all Giants, and oddly enough a being known to possess more than one eye. Every single Frost Giant I ever met back home has five, but every single troll I’ve met here has three. It would appear that the Frost Giants got extremely desperate and lonely, regretting not bringing their wives with them as they didn’t yet know they’d survive the journey. Beastiality is a hell of price to pay for protecting your spouse from a potential watery grave, but it doesn’t seem to be the entire fate of the Giant population here. I’ve spoken of Their descendants who stand just as tall, with skin and appearance like us but Much larger. Many native peoples from my travels spoke of Giants being helpful to farms and protecting of land, which came in handy for weak peoples that had lots to offer. It would seem in some of these instances, Wives were one of those rewards and while a Giant’s nothing notably “beautiful or majestic” to gaze at, I’m certain there were women “Long Well Pleased” by their spousal companies proportions. It would be the only way we’ve gotten Giants that look as Men, and I would hope that someday in the future the change their bodies have undergone paints an easier attempt for rejoining the world of Men, or at least re-allying with. Everything was so optimistic, and then Alduin. The Priests went mad and spoiled with power and title, holding Absolute dominion and Power over All: The land, and Us. Many chose to take up arms, as all they had to lose was their lives since freedom or peace had been extinguished. The Dragon Priests ruled over us separately, but always convened unanimously in one place, in the center of Skyrim within the Heart of its Winter. They had met shortly before the Dragon War, I was a chamberlain. I wanted to evesdrop and know what they’re were saying but I was too afraid, the things they do to people for Stealing Bread. I would surely Wish For Death and Never Get It if I was caught; Although it seems that’s what happened anyway! After the Dragon War began we were locked in our “cities.” Those who fought for freedom left, those who remained were loyalists and cowards with nowhere else to go and completely without knowledge of how to survive Out There. In Atmora when a Priest had died, his crypt would be prepared for his staff and so forth when their time came. But since the Dragon War, when a Priest dies.. Well. The whole City Dies With Him. Yeah. It was Never discussed before at all. It was Chosen for us by the priests, and what’s history was history. I remember That Day, gods I wish I could make myself forget. Vokun had just given a speech to us, about “our loyalty and strength in these hard times” and told us that one more sacrifice was needed of us, and that for this we would gain Eternal Life. What a fool, I’m such a fool. He called upon all Men who’s heart stood with him. Not knowing the country as well as home and knowing my family needed protection, i answered along with the other Atmorans who volunteered their service. It was purposely unexplained however that each man was speaking for his whole family. Yeah. This is we got for loyalty. Stabbed in the back, stuck back in our skin before we could die completely, and pumped full of oils to slow and halt decay. The other day I saw my wife shambling back from his sarcophagus, unwillingly performing the horrible ritual We Have All been Doomed with Undertaking. When we were young I used to think about how blue her eyes were, I thought that they were Kyne’s themselves; sky nor sea as clear or as beautiful. Now? Blank and pasty, like old mirrors catching a glimpse of light. For the first time In Ever, She stopped in front of me for a moment and stared me right in the eye. Like for a moment she had regained consciousness after So Long. It seemed as if she was quickly and desperately trying to tell or ask me something, before succumbing to the mind-state she’s been in for, Well for, For… gods. I can’t remember my name, my wife was/Is Anna! And my son is.. My Son Is Idvar! I walk cold halls and a tomb of a town, where faces not gaunt or haunting Once loomed. Waiting, waiting for freedom from this Living Death.

I like it in Skyrim when they say “only a fool tries to kill the dead!” And then I rip them apart with my werewolf claws
Because werewolves aren’t a fool, they are monster, big difference
Then after killing the ghost, the living would retort. "Maybe, but who's the bigger fool? The one that died, or the one who dies twice?"
Or you could just punch them with your Humanoid fists.
Me,an ex Skyrim player repeatedly killed the dead as if it was a casual hobby.
Ghosts talk a lot of shit for people who cant equip weapons or armor

wisp mothers are not ghosts, there is a book in skyrim explaining what they are, a little, but i don't exactly recall its name
Quite like the idea of in the next tes game that the only effective way to kill ghosts and wraiths is by a silver weapon
Love this undead lore miniseries
The Sun is... White!
Ghost 👻 Explained!!!
1/4 of the entire populace of Elder Scrolls are ghosts.
It’s nice to hear the music change every once in a while. Ancient stones is my favorite Skyrim piece.
I love Skyrim music
I think the woman staring in the mirror is actually trapped by a daedric enetity the developers simply used a generic wraith to protray as it's part of a series of events going on in the region relating to a battle between cult of vermina, and a benevolent cult of a azura.
it's not the only lesser daedric enetity that just uses a random wraith model.
Michael is my favourite paranormal investigator
Melkoran is the best Undead Thrall tbh.
The one from Kiev is my favorite.
And, quite like the ones in elder scrolls, only exists in a video game 😅
@@Mikemal1945 huh?
@@Mikemal1945 You need to further elaborate on how that is relevant to his comment
We love our FudgeMuppet, don't we folks?!
really fancy your good questioning; given that ghosts are seemingly unexplained and still not completely understood in the elder scrolls. there are still tons more of things to explore and im looking forward to what you dissert. thank you
Thank you for this video! I love talking about ghosts, and I really enjoy fighting and playing around with ghost summons in Skyrim, Although I really do wish the ghosts in Skyrim were immune to normal weapons like they are in Oblivion, I really wish there was a PS4 mod that would buff ghosts and make them much more intimidating.
These latest necromancy-themed videos have been giving me everything I need before TES 6 lol
So glad you're doing more of these type of videos. I love these mate!
Perfect timing. Just got off the night shift.
Untill the current overseer of Bethesda is overthrown, the majority of all mysteries in games like Fallout and Elder Scrills will forever more be a mystery.
Todd was it? Yeah Todd Howard literally believes that, including the mystery behind the disappearance of the Dwemer, all mysteries should remain mysteries.
You: *Just minding your Dragonborn business,*
*Ice ghost one-shots you deep in Nordic ruins,*
*then outside Nordic ruins,*
*Then in an outdoor Dwemer courtyard,*
*Was legit the first enemy to one shot me too…*
I normally consider ESO as canon but I wouldn't take too seriously their ghosts. ESO has a problem of chatty ghosts, there's so many, SO MANY ghosts who will just casually have conversations with you. I find it to be really bad, ghosts should be mysterious and scary, getting to talk with one should send shivers down your spine. In ESO it's like 20% of all quest givers are ghosts.
"Be careful speaking with the undead, for they always want something from you!" So, just like every other video game NPC, then? ^-^
Ahh, the memories of wandering in to the ancestral tomb nearest Seyda Neen in TES III Morrowind, equipped with an iron dagger, optimism, and naiveté and running screaming back out again because the weapon had no affect.
The Reaper was a letdown.
He's just a mix of existing pieces from the base game, not even Dawnguard.
Its like a first time mod project, but instead Bethesda deemed it okay for the final game.
Skyrim ghosts aren't ghosts at all, they are just regular races with a blue tint. The ghosts from Morrowind or Oblivion are way more ghost like.
Not solely Wisp Mothers, your video also neglects Lishs, and Dragon Lord's (Kings? Whichever).
A whole video of ghosts and wraiths and yet no mention of Skyrim's Wisp Mothers?
I have to say, i'm a bit disappointed.
5:50 You don’t necessarily need any kind of weapons or spells to kill those ghosts. When you reached Journeyman in hand-to-hand you can take them out with your fists.
I watched you guys' reanimated undead video when it dropped and the question I was left with at the end was, "but what about the ghosts?" I ended up not commenting, because I figured this video was soon to follow, lol. Great work as always.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
i would love to see a video on wispmothers. thank you for doing these videos FudgeMuppet. i love your content.
Wanting to big up FudgeMuppet, for their commitment to the game series we love.
hoping for ES6 to come out soon, for more content for you guys
The scariest ghost story is the one where my dad tussled my hair and said _"I'll be right back, kiddo."_
There is also a friendly wraith in ESO, Calion, son of Vastaire and Telacar, who if fred can choose to roam Tamriel relatively freely
dang i just opened youtube and saw this lol
Yeah they suck
I especially hate how you can kill any enemy with every weapon...it ruins Immersion for me
Just discovered you, love the way you do the intro. As well as the amazing video you've got a new sub
Which weapon in Skyrim looks like a langes messer? Or is the sword the ghost is holding from a weapon mod?
Void mothers. The goth yandere ghost girl of Mundus. I see you designer...
" the confidence only an invisible drunkard could posses" lol I remember those days
Great video, please share your mod list, especially the armor. TY.
I was indeed wondering about Wisp Mothers! I'd love to see a video on them!
"I'm sorry! I don't mean to (post), but I have no choice. I'm sorry!"
Who you gonna call?
Ghost Nappa
Yeah, yeah man I get what you’re saying & What’s with Ethereal form?
Yep. I don’t like fighting the undead because they do scare.
My fav ghost is Me.
I died a long, long, long….. well you get the picture. When we came over from Atmora the priests said “take ease and find home in this ‘New Paradise.’”(Yeah, that’s a word for it.)
It’s just as cold as the last spit of land we left, save for a few warm places. But even they are “marched”, if not Conquered by troublesome foes, and Horrible Monsters.
The beasts and animals are worry-some on their own, but worse beasts roam. Trolls in every reach; in the blizzard, plain and every dark hole under or inbetween. Mer, unwelcoming and unforgiving in All manners of the meaning. The deep elves that dwell and build under mountain are beyond insane and hostile, but the more nomadic or surface populated tribes of Elf are just as prejudiced and crafty, I can’t explain but they Always have this blank stare; like their mind is always focused on One Agenda or One Goal, and all other mutual existences to them are irritants and “inconveniences.”
One of the only reminders or at least some sense of home that also immigrated here with us were the Giants, of such renown; Ysgramor Himself fashioned his bow-string of Their Wives legendary tears.
We knew they traveled with our forefathers to this place Ages before Ysgramor turned back to Atmora with vengeance on his heart, but we had heard there was a “great calamity” that ended up separating the strong pact that Men and Giants had. There was a great conflict, and the warriors sent the Frost Giants up on the mountains to protect them from being harmed or killed. After sword and shield were dropped, the men and mer rewrote the borders with mugs in hand but the Giants in this time had grown forgetful or decided to become more feral or independent and chose to live undisturbed from the world of Men. I’ve only met a few so far, they must be descendants of the Frost Giants because they have their horns but only have two eyes and skin like us, and they don’t even speak Atmoran. They seem to have taken to a new guttural grunt-speech language, I’m sure it was invented by the descendants who were natural strangers to Atmora’s Tongue.
This interesting discovery confirms my suspicions that the huge loss and absence of diction and logic in the Giants is also the reason for the large population of Trolls that exist, as these foul creatures never walked Atmora. Frost Giants are the forefathers of all Giants, and oddly enough a being known to possess more than one eye. Every single Frost Giant I ever met back home has five, but every single troll I’ve met here has three. It would appear that the Frost Giants got extremely desperate and lonely, regretting not bringing their wives with them as they didn’t yet know they’d survive the journey. Beastiality is a hell of price to pay for protecting your spouse from a potential watery grave, but it doesn’t seem to be the entire fate of the Giant population here. I’ve spoken of Their descendants who stand just as tall, with skin and appearance like us but Much larger. Many native peoples from my travels spoke of Giants being helpful to farms and protecting of land, which came in handy for weak peoples that had lots to offer. It would seem in some of these instances, Wives were one of those rewards and while a Giant’s nothing notably “beautiful or majestic” to gaze at, I’m certain there were women “Long Well Pleased” by their spousal companies proportions. It would be the only way we’ve gotten Giants that look as Men, and I would hope that someday in the future the change their bodies have undergone paints an easier attempt for rejoining the world of Men, or at least re-allying with.
Everything was so optimistic, and then Alduin.
The Priests went mad and spoiled with power and title, holding Absolute dominion and Power over All: The land, and Us. Many chose to take up arms, as all they had to lose was their lives since freedom or peace had been extinguished. The Dragon Priests ruled over us separately, but always convened unanimously in one place, in the center of Skyrim within the Heart of its Winter. They had met shortly before the Dragon War, I was a chamberlain. I wanted to evesdrop and know what they’re were saying but I was too afraid, the things they do to people for Stealing Bread. I would surely Wish For Death and Never Get It if I was caught; Although it seems that’s what happened anyway!
After the Dragon War began we were locked in our “cities.” Those who fought for freedom left, those who remained were loyalists and cowards with nowhere else to go and completely without knowledge of how to survive Out There.
In Atmora when a Priest had died, his crypt would be prepared for his staff and so forth when their time came. But since the Dragon War, when a Priest dies.. Well. The whole City Dies With Him.
Yeah. It was Never discussed before at all. It was Chosen for us by the priests, and what’s history was history. I remember That Day, gods I wish I could make myself forget.
Vokun had just given a speech to us, about “our loyalty and strength in these hard times” and told us that one more sacrifice was needed of us, and that for this we would gain Eternal Life. What a fool, I’m such a fool. He called upon all Men who’s heart stood with him. Not knowing the country as well as home and knowing my family needed protection, i answered along with the other Atmorans who volunteered their service. It was purposely unexplained however that each man was speaking for his whole family.
Yeah. This is we got for loyalty. Stabbed in the back, stuck back in our skin before we could die completely, and pumped full of oils to slow and halt decay. The other day I saw my wife shambling back from his sarcophagus, unwillingly performing the horrible ritual We Have All been Doomed with Undertaking. When we were young I used to think about how blue her eyes were, I thought that they were Kyne’s themselves; sky nor sea as clear or as beautiful.
Now? Blank and pasty, like old mirrors catching a glimpse of light. For the first time In Ever, She stopped in front of me for a moment and stared me right in the eye. Like for a moment she had regained consciousness after So Long. It seemed as if she was quickly and desperately trying to tell or ask me something, before succumbing to the mind-state she’s been in for, Well for, For… gods.
I can’t remember my name, my wife was/Is Anna! And my son is.. My Son Is Idvar!
I walk cold halls and a tomb of a town, where faces not gaunt or haunting Once loomed. Waiting, waiting for freedom from this Living Death.
People don't understand ghosts, they just can't grasp it.
