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. ---- Join the Selectives Lorecast every other Saturday (usually) at 3pm Eastern Time at https://www.twitch.tv/rottendeadite Got a lore question for the Selectives?

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. ---- Join the Selectives Lorecast every other Saturday (usually) at 3pm Eastern Time at https://www.twitch.tv/rottendeadite Got a lore question for the Selectives?

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. ---- Join the Selectives Lorecast every other Saturday (usually) at 3pm Eastern Time at https://www.twitch.tv/rottendeadite Got a lore question for the Selectives?

Do you guys think Sanguine has his own line of wine? Do you think it's a merlot?
