Book of Beginnings
Chapter 1
1: The mortal plane began in chaos
When people lived outside the egg of time
And could see all of life.
2: Order came to the mortal plane
and the physical world grew.
3: Life was hard and people
Searched the world for the path
To end the mortal plane,
4: Finding only those with no body,
Who explained existence could not end.
5: The people continued to wander
Taking comfort in the wealth of life.
6: The homes of wood became
Monuments of stone.
7: Near this time the rich towers
Rose to proclaim the factions.
8: It was this time when the daedra
Began to watch the events of people.
9: The people of firsthold came to
Trinimac, who taught them to make
Blunt fighting weapons and keep walls.
10: This was the beginning of the altmer,
And powerful were the teachings of Trinimac.
11: Spread by the warriors of Firsthold
Trinimac became the central
Godhead of the war Altmer.
12: So it was when the faction of Trinimac
came to Lilandril, the home of wisemen.
13: No fight came from the people of Lilandril
but blood was spilt to Trinimac.
14: To deny their torture, they agreed
To follow Trinimac, and he was fat with strength.
15: Outside of this land
Lived the godless altmer, who wandered
For the end of days.
16: This stood until the revealing of
The triangle to the 6th children of Lilandril.
17: The old land of Lilandril grew of stone
And deep into the dirt was worked by
The 2nd children of Lilandril.
18: The wise teachings of the scholars
Had left from the mortal plane.
19: Until on the 6th child of Veloth
came the daedra Azura, who
Revealed the error of the godless Altmer.
20: The blessed Azura opened the past
To Veloth to see the world of the daedra.
21: On his head placed the exodus of his people.
Veloth tormented by the serious
Visions he was given reflected in
His unlit room, and prayed for 8 days.
22: On the 9th day Veloth came outside
And travelled into the black wilderness.
23: He stood between a clearing of trees
And reflected over the sky for vision.
24: From the east came 8 bright stars
Veloth had never seen before,
And from the sky they fell.
25: Veloth prayed to Azura
Who taught the message of the falling stars
26: And explained Veloth the passage to the Tower
In the falling stars descended the inequities
Lorkhan cast to the world.
27: In ending her teachings she left
Veloth with the blessed words
Of ALMSIVI to ascend Veloth to the promised land.
28: In these days Veloth began to teach
The revelation of Daedric truth in
The keep of Lilandril.
29: And so the scholars children came
To hear his words, for a seed
Of morality and knowledge continued.
30: About the crowd drifted the faction of Trinimac,
Who argued with each truth of Azura.
31:Thus came the conspiracy of necromancy,
Over the beauty of the daedra.
32: Spread like the hot fires,
For the secular too were suspicious and many.
33: And upon the faction of Trinimac
Veloth proclaimed he a daedra,
And the faction of Trinimac too were suspicious and many.
34: Above the stone keep wall came the spirit Trinimac
Whose shadow covered Veloth.
35: So the faction of Trinimac cheered the fat Trinimac,
And about they watched so came the
Body of Boethiah.
36: Relying that Trinimac had given them
A hand to command Veloth, the faction of Trinimac
Cheered, for truly Boethiah mocked Trinimac.
37: Upon the faction of Trinimac fell
The great shadow, and the sun
Seemed as a distant star.
38: Boethiah, Veloth spoke, and the daedra
Opened its enormous mouth
39: And trinimac was eaten and
Changed to the dirt.
40: So the faction of Trinimac took
Up arms as to defeat the truth
41: And upon them fell the curse,
And their skin boiled and changed green.
42: In their darkness the faction of Trinimac
Wandered and would for all their days.
Chapter 2
1: And light fell upon Veloth and Boethiah
Became of no form.
2: Yet the crowd saw Boethiah, and
Saw Azura as the sun became bright.
3: And so they were taught by Azura
Why they were different than the Altmer,
4: And in her hand she held dirt from Trinimac
Became as ash, for ash
Was the true home.
5: Then was shown the land of Veloth,
And wealth and decadence died
In these simple lands.
6: But with no need for wealth,
Truely they would find life.
7: Trinimac, who changed to Malacath,
Was shown as the evil daedra,
8: And three more there are of equal malice
And many more are there of lesser evil.
9: Upon the triangle lay your lives
And truly the house of troubles will be gone.
10: Veloth, knowing the truth, held the
Staff of the Pilgrim, encircled with
The word of the triangle.
11: For 90 days, by the sacred wall
Of Malacath's defeat, Veloth
Taught the Sho'uts the lessons
of the world egg.
12: To release the mortal walls
By the immortals, and exit
The corruptions of the black sea of oblivion.
13: And after 90 days truly the Sho'uts
Knew the wonder of Chim.
14: And they observed the tower without fear,
Moreso resided within.
15: At the time of the 90 day lessons,
The tribe of Malacath entered
16: The land of crystal tower, where
The Godless Altmer lived.
17: They were feared for monstrous beings
And all ran from their path.
18: But the mages of crystal tower were wise,
And saw the markings of Trinimac on their armor.
19: Thus were the tribe of Malacath
Enslaved by the power of crystal tower,
And all dignity removed.
20: Upon the last day of the lessons
A new daedra came to Veloth,
as a warning of the coming army.
21: The Sho'uts were few to
The tribe of Malacath,
22: So the living daedra Mephala
Taught Veloth the secret art,
23: But never to be used on Chimer.
24: And Boethiah appeared to show
Veloth the path to the promised land,
25: And truly it was far.
26: Veloth prayed at the wall of Boethiah
For Azura to grant quick passage
To the Sho'uts
27: For the path was dangerous.
28: But Azura knew the pilgrimage
Was to purify the Chimer.
29: Again Mephala appeared, now to the crowd,
And showed the way of murder
30: And to kill in the name of the triangle,
For those were they that wished to die.
31: And in the streets of Lilandril
The pilgrims practiced their art,
32: Where the second children built
Monuments of stone, where the daedra
Began to look to the good chimer
33: When the good daedra saw
The sacrilege of the Orsiniur
34: And after the physical art was
Taught by Mephala, she too
Gave lesson on the affairs of elves.
35: So Mephala proclaimed work of
The dirt good, but to enjoy
The fruit and music in life.
37: And the Chimer on the night
Before the Orsimer attacked
Gathered and truly lived.
38: In the morning the pilgrims
Gathered in the streets
They always had known, with
The carts of all they had.
39: In the crowd came Azura,
Who said to the many
To leave all that held them to the Altmer.
40: For truly all they would need
Came from the lands of the world.
41: But the Orisimer, who carried all
They ever had, followed the pilgrims
To the edge of the Altmer lands, but
42: Each channel gave the chimer more distance.
43: And when the Chimer left the land of the Altmer
The Orsimer did leave as well, no longer
For the center of their curse, but
North where the people of the mountains lived.
44: And so came the days of the Chimer travels
Which would prepare them for living
On the lands of Velothi.
