FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 5 0 To find the right inspiration, M'ahnisa began to dabble in obscure and arcane texts. One of them is the so called [QUOTE]heresy of two faces[QUOTE]. However the text is incomplete, and without the end it doesn't hold any meaning for M'ahnisa. That's why she asked me to find out what's missing - reconstructing what the text is trying to tell. I've been given what M'ahnisa was able to reconstruct already.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 6 0 I've read the fragment M'ahnisa gave me. Apparently there are three missing statements, and three missing conclusions based on them.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 10 0 Haskill asked me if I know the meaning of [QUOTE]reaching Zero-Sum[QUOTE]. Apparently the text is obscure because many that study it simply disappear, similar to mages researching the nature of souls. Therefore I cannot expect much help.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 11 0 When asked what should I do, Haskill advised me to just make up some random nonsense.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 12 0 When asked who may be able to help me, Haskill said that mortals may only have theories, but no complete knowledge. Daedra may have knowledge, but won't talk with me - at least the Daedra of this realm.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 15 0 The Golden Saint at Zendria warned me that I'm on a dangerous road. Such knowledge is not made to be brought into mortal consciousness.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 20 0 The Dark Seducer at Zendria told me that the counter intuitive revelation of the Heresy is what makes it dangerous. She suggests that I should resort to random nonsense instead of continue delving into the Heresy.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 25 0 Jesmin urged me to fail my task, saying that it puts M'ahnisa's very existence at risk. I should just tell her complete nonsense.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 30 0 Tesserayiel asked me if I went insane. According to her the Heresy is dangerous enough to even undo lesser Daedra. She said that I may throw my existence away, but I shouldn't take others with me.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 35 0 Karashivuel said that the Heresy is very dangerous. It deepens the understanding of something called [QUOTE]subgradients[QUOTE], but doing so is not worth the risk according to her.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 40 0 Zerreshju refuses to talk about the heresy, but she let something slip: [QUOTE]The duality of things at a higher subgradient is nothing I will be caught delving into.[QUOTE]
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 45 0 Kanaane said she won't delve into topics like the Heresy, saying that [QUOTE]some day you wake up and realize that Zenithar and Clavicus Vile have somewhat similar spheres. And it all goes downhill from there.[QUOTE]
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 50 0 Teshekru said that she doesn't know the exact content of the Heresy, but can guess it's nature. According to her there are several ways to immortality, some quicker and more risky than others. The Heresy likely deals with the fabric of existence, of which knowledge can cost a terrible price. Especially Daedra tend to stay away from it. She also explained Zero-Sum: Realizing that you are not.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 55 0 Leshruzay said that the name comes from describing Mephala and Mara as being two sides of the same coin, but more she does not know - and does not want to know.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 60 0 Shiva said that it's rubbish about that dieing means loving, hating means living, and that I should ignore it.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 65 0 Tanaark said that the key to understand the heresy is to understand what joins and what divides.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 70 0 M'kendri said that she never had the Heresy in her hand, but she has seen its name: On a list of books banned by the ancestor moth priests. Not only because it is, as the name suggests, a heresy, but also due to the way the heresy is concluded.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 75 0 Shenara Hleras said that she doesn't know the heresy, only that it's about the connection of the role of primal forces and the respective spheres of deities associated with them.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 80 0 Chandra the Bloodthirsty said that she once read the Heresy, but doesn't recall much of it. She didn't disagree with it, like the part [QUOTE]to be immortal is to hate. Only love can die.[QUOTE]
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 85 0 Turumerin said that the Heresy is spot on, but she's not allowed to share it. As a hint she said I should just consider what she does with [QUOTE]participants of her lust[QUOTE]. According to her, her visitors are also better off not knowing.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 90 0 Tandruzuk said that the key to reconstruct the Heresy is to understand what subgradients are - according to her a [QUOTE]pyramid scheme of the fabric of existence[QUOTE]. Dangerous knowledge - she advised me to not research further.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 95 0 M'sam-Dar doesn't seem to value the Heresy of Two Faces. He wondered that one could consider Sithis to be a force of love.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 100 0 Dyus said that calculation shown it won't be me that will be hit by the revelation contained in the heresy. Others may not be so lucky.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 101 0 When asked if the Library of Jyggalag contained the Heresy, Dyus said it was destroyed to keep the lesser deities save from themselves.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 102 0 Dyus said that the Heresy links both Mara and Mephala to Sithis.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 105 0 Earil said that he had only heard about the heresy. It is said to analyze the forces of Sithis and Auriel, to see which feelings they represent in mortal terms.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 110 0 Mirili Ulven said that the Heresy twists the meaning of life and death, linking them to love and hate.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 115 0 Sontaire said that she won't deal with books saying that her way of life means dieing, and only the demented one living.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 120 0 Sirelle said that a [QUOTE]loveletter[QUOTE] has something to do with it, but he can't recall were he put it.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 125 0 Martin said that the Heresy is even more dangerous than the Mysterium Xarxes, and that usually Ancestor Moth Priests deal with metaphysical threats like these. And many evaporate while doing so.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 130 0 Longius Curio said that this book is even too bizarre for his family to member, as it goes against everything the Curios stand for.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 135 0 Anya Herrick said that the Duchess of Dementia once had a copy, but destroyed it out of fear for her own safety. Anya took a look inside and found it weird - Mara being married to Shezarr.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 140 0 When asked about the Heresy Arriashe asked if Mephala wears a mourning veil, if Bosmer don't die, and if she doesn't die because of them.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 145 0 Keneriel said that delving into the mysteries of the Heresy is dangerous, and can even end many dances before their time. She said that while some parts may be correct, she loves what she does. She doesn't consider herself to be a creature of hate.
FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 150 0 Sheogorath called the Heresy [QUOTE]insane[QUOTE], but being of that kind of insanity that doesn't even belong into His realm.

FormID: 0313BDFB bgPDQ5TwoFaces 205 0 M'ahnisa wasn't able to draw much inspiration from what I was able to reconstruct of the Heresy. It seems it wasn't as revolutionary as the Khajiit believed.
