Meesei nodded to Ariel and Sabine and began the process of unraveling the magicka binding the skeleton's soul once more, which proceeded more quickly this time. "Of course, just pay close attention to how I am doing this, note the patterns in the magicka as I destabilize it. Now, I cannot leave the skeleton's soul in disarray for too long without risking killing it, so I will need to repeat this many times." Meesei warned.

"That was the second time I have spoken to a Daedric Prince, and I cannot say it was nearly as pleasant as the first." Ahnasha answered as they walked away from the temple. She did not know where to go next; perhaps the market would be a good choice. "The only part of what she said that I believe is that we should not even entertain the thought of accepting a deal from Vile. Even if he was not our enemy, deals with Vile go sour more often than not. As for anything else she said, I am not going to feed into the paranoia the Webspinner was likely trying to sow. She revels in the manipulation of mortals to her own ends; she loves to toy with people's lives seemingly just to see the chaos. I may not know everything about her, but I know enough not to trust her. We should just focus on what we do know. Someone may or may not give us an offer on the behalf of Vile, and we should deny it. We should probably also avoid staying around whoever makes the offer."

The Nords just resent magic users because they believe it is more honorable to fight with a sword, axe, mace or bow. It's not that they want to murder them all it's just they have little respect for them. Save for those who are trained in restoration magic, they have respect for them as shown in the temple of Kynerath. And also its different for necromancers, they have the idea of "they all need to die" when it comes to necromancers

The Oblivion crisis also played a role in it. Their culture didn't particularly exemplify magic before, but they didn't really resent it until after that.

Ahnasha listened to Mephala's words, but took them with a grain of salt. She did not trust this Daerda, especially considering that deceit was one of the aspects she was best known for. Ahnasha remained stationary beside Fendros with her eyes firmly locked on the "priest." She did not feel directly in danger, as her history of Daedra worship had given her rather detailed knowledge of how the Daedra could interact with Tamriel. This priest was likely nothing more than a projection, or perhaps a follower she had possessed. Such feats were relatively easy for Daedric princes, especially near one of their shrines, but anything more required either an immense expenditure of energy, or other special circumstances. The barriers between Mundas and Oblivion made sure of that.

Ahnasha scarcely even entertained the thought of asking anything more from the Daedra. "I have no further questions." Ahnasha said simply. To deny the offer of a god was not something one would often do, but she wanted no part of the Webspinner's machinations. This was a Daedra who would sew chaos for the sake of chaos, so she garnered little trust from Ahnasha.

"We have made progress." Meesei answered after Janius and Lorag returned. "I still am not sure if it will be ready by tonight, but I am now almost certain I can do it. When we begin our raid, each of you will have weapons enchanted to unbind the souls of these thralls on contact. It should allow you to instantly kill them just by touching them." Meesei explained.

"Heh, well if you wanted that ability, you could have just asked to use my fists." Lorag joked as he dropped his kill near the fire. "Magic weapons will be nice though, I guess. These witches won't know what hit them...or, I take that back. They'll get a nice look at this handsome face before I knock 'em upside the head."

Hey Ryonara, are you online?

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I think it makes perfect sense, though what about something like noxomancy, which doesn't rely on archanite? Or, psychomancy, that technology cannot replace.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Hmm, so would students at the college learn about the past? Not all the details or anything, but general knowledge?

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Interesting. That does give me more insight into the lore. So there has been quite a bit of time pass since then. How common would the knowledge be that there was even a world before Tien. I mean, if there are demons whose souls were around then, and they remember it, then it seems like Demonmancers would be able to learn about it.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I still know so little of Tien's past, like how long it has been since then, or how common it is for people to know the extent of the world's past.

Upsah and Zaad are easy. However I really don't think any greek philosophers ever committed genocide. I mean, there was one whose teachings led to many deaths via a poor understanding of medicine, but still. Not direct genocide.

Ahnasha eyed the man suspiciously. She wanted to reiterate Fendros' "who are you?" question, but he did not seem keen on giving a clear answer for that one. His scent did not identify him as a lycan, though lycans were not the only ones who served Hircine. "I would not be so foolish as to consider an offer from our enemy. Such a 'solution' would almost invariably be a trap. Vile's deals aren't even fair to his own followers. I suppose you aren't directly going to tell us who you are, so I suppose my question is how do you know that Vile is going to make this offer, and when? To do such would require him to contact us."

Meesei hovered her hands above the thrall's torso, charging two deep violet orbs of conjuration energy. "I tried this once before, but now that I know..." She began, her voice trailing off as she released the energy. It behaved pretty much exactly as it had with Ariel, but this time, when the energy was about to collapse back in on itself, Meesei was able to hold out a hand and slowly push conjuration energy through the skeleton. At this point, the magicka bound to the thrall's body was widely unstable and moving seemingly at random, but Meesei seemed to know exactly what to do. Each time the magicka seemed like it was going to collapse back to normal, she manipulated the energy in exactly the right way to keep it unstable. Eventually, the energy from its skull to its toes was unstable enough that its very soul started to become unbound from its body. Meesei took in as much detail about its current state as she could in a few seconds, then all at once released her magic, allowing the thrall to return to normal, as if nothing had happened. There was still more work to be done, but she had caught a glimpse of the state required to unbind the skeleton's soul. "Now we have progress. I have to be careful, letting that go too far could kill the thrall, but if I repeat this enough, I may be able to create an enchantment to unbind their souls immediately."
