To Chancellor Ocato, in mastery! In triumph! In absolute moral good!<br>
<br>
Forgive my direct sending, Chancellor, and know that I do this with the respect of every ancestor in my beard, but Grandmaster Jauffre has never responded to previous efforts to warn Empire Actual of the findings of the Sphinxmoth Inquiry Tree. I admit that these warnings may have been too esoteric to merit the attention they deserve.<br>
<br>
In short, the Barrier is weakening, and I know why. Moreso, I have uncovered a conspiracy that stretches back to Dawntime and the split of Aldmeris. Empire Actual is threatened by forces of previous realities, and the Ayleids are not destroyed at all.<br>
<br>
The moths closest to my ears and lips once served under Belharza the Bull during their corporeal stage. You know thereby the extent of my allegiance. Please give me permission to heard at the Elder Council, even if only by Ducal memo-spore.<br>
<br>
Yours under the Red Diamond, <br>
Nu-Hatta <br>
<br>
<br>
Brother Nu-Hatta, <br>
Yes. I recall your reports. Jauffre passed them up the channels. An interesting theory, but there was nothing there that we could act upon. Shadowy empire-spanning conspiracies? With all due respect to your eminent communicants, neither the Elder Scrolls nor the ancestor moths have ever provided us with much practical information. After the fact, yes, the prophecies always make sense then. Historians and scholars make their careers on such things.<br>
But my business is the government of the Empire in the here and now, with a multitude of problems and dangers that are all too clear. I do not mean to be dismissive; give me something concrete, and you will see us act.<br>
<br>
I remain,<br>
Ocato of Firsthold, High Chancellor of the Elder Council, Imperial Battlemage, etc. etc.<br>
<br>
<br>

Firsthold is too kind. <br>

"Then will mighty Akatosh reply, wherein the petitioner must be demand full freedom! To speak in the fires of time is to render the speaker a subject of the matron Jills, those servants of the Dragon that mend minutes without volunteer. Only through freedom can true words remain untouched."<br>
My reports shall follow. I assume we move now to scrying by the Elders? <br>
Yours under the Red Diamond, <br>
Nu-Hatta <br>
<br>
Brother Nu-Hatta,<br>
Yes, very well. I don't know that the full Council will find your use of the dreamsleeve justified, but I leave that to you.<br>
Ocato<br>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #3
<div align="left"><font face=5>Members of the Elder Council,
Forgive the brash medium through which this comes to you, but read by its stamp that Ocato has given the smallest of consent. Know too that the Cult of the Ancestor-Moth submits fully to the Council in all things, as it has done since Edict 18.x2n.3E2IS, even though the allegations of such legislature as being Simulacrum Terminatus is still in review. <br>
<br>
Scholarship on the subject of the metaphysical Tower is at an all-time high. Not since the Selective have we seen so much dangerous interest in the shezzarite power-symbols. Do any here think this an accident? That such work is not influenced by doppeldream and unlawful messaging? Do any here think this is not the work of the Tharnatos and his sleepers? <br>
<br>
The fall of Red Tower should not be seen as the suave conquest of Cyrodiil's agencies, for we have been tricked again by the Dagonites. Though through long eras the chimerical landgods have subverted Divine rule, their protection of the First Stone should have remained as it was: the ironic protection of our enemies to our Enemy.<br>
<br>
The Towers of the terrestrial plane have had their histories cloaked in lies and misinterpretations. That the lands they hold dominion over reverberate with troubles now in east and west should give common consent that they are reacting to an Empire-wide attention, sublunar and on dread purpose. <br>
<br>
By the implications of my introductory comments alone, I realize that some on the Council may wish to exercise their right of admonishment or call of silence. I withdraw the spore at this time to hear these; otherwise I shall proceed. <br>
<br>
<br>
Proceed, by all means.<br>
Though the Council may have the power to silence me, they can not enforce deafness. I am unable to confute the topic at hand in my sterile state.<br>
Feeble and counterproductive am I in my position handed down by the Council.<br>
<br>
Divayth Fyr <br>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #4
<div align="left"><font face=5>The beginnings of our present problem go back to the Merethic Era. <br>
<br>
... <br>
<br>
I hear rumblings of protest already. Please, let me assure you I shall abide by Council measure and present my findings in the accepted quadragraph form of old: metaphysical root, historical lessonates, present threat assessment, and assumption of enemy maneuvers. All Elders who wish to enter trance-state may do so now. <br>
<br>
Aldmeris split during the Dawn, but as in all things then, these fractures enjoyed quasi-temporal amendments. Sometimes the Island of Start was with us, othertimes not or not of a whole, close as it was to spirit actual. <br>
<br>
The Jills did not have their full powers; rather, I should say, all the mundex spirits had every power at every time amendment at every ordering, which is to say none of them could ever fully express; our world was young and so were its architect gods.<br>
<br>
The next is known to all of us in different ways, and the impossibility of the Dawn lends all of these memories credence. I speak of the Ur-Tower, Adamantine, anon Direnni, and of its creation and purpose. <br>
<br>
Auriel-that-is-Akatosh returned to Mundex Arena from his dominion planet, signaling all Aedra to convene at a static meeting that would last outside of aurbic time. His sleek and silver vessel became a spike into the changing earth and the glimmerwinds of its impact warned any spirit that entered aura with it would become recorded-- that by consent of presence their actions here would last of a period unassailable, and would be so whatever might come later to these spirits, even if they rejoined the aether or succumbed willingly or by treachery to a sithite erasure. Thus could the Aedra and their cohorts truly covene in realness. <br>
<br>
Our forebears saw the erection of Ada-mantia, Ur-Tower, and the Zero Stone. Let the Elders acknowledge this truth: every Tower bears its Stone. The impossipoint of the Convention was the first, though another bears the true title of First Stone. <br>
<br>
Because we are finally a pantheosophic assembly, I will not dictate whether Lorkhan was judged sacred or profane or transcendent at the Convention. My brothers at the Temple of the One may call a recess after my first graph to discuss this on the tertiary sense-gradient; sametime tendril-argument is encouraged by the Moth. It is my primary intention to show the echo effect of Ada-mantia and why it will eventually trouble Emperor Actual. I can only do this by telling the story of First Stone without causal debate.<br>
<br>
<font face="3">"Aad semblio impera, dela can carpio semblex." <br>
<br>
<font face="5">By these words I intone the many-headed language of the Ehlnofey. The phrase-meanings can be both "as in the image of the kings become the hearts of their shadows" and "the shadows in kingly hearts are images of as", where "as" is meant in the sheathe of an ur word. <br>
<br>
The outcome of the Convention was to leave the terrestrial sphere in their excess, for its own good, but that it should last after their departure as in the semblance of the Ada-mantia. Mundus was given its second Tower, the Red, whose First Stone was the Heart of the World, "as in the image." <br>
<br>
Time began to last in stepped-fashion. Those spirits that remained, lesser and greater, involuntary or eventual earthbone, surrendered all definite hold on divinity. Aldmeris bore witness and built the remaining towers during the Merethic: White-Gold, Crystal-like-Law, Orichalc, Green-Sap, Walk-Brass, Snow Throat, and on and on, <font face="3">"aad semblio impera." <br>
<br>
<font face="5">We come to the first shaper-peoples and the historical lessonates, wherein most reversed in enmity, error, or awe what already existed in both meanings at once: <font face="3">"Aad semblio impera, dela can carpio semblex."<br>
<font face="5">What happens when one reverses an inversion; moreso, does so in the living day? <br>
We come to the point where Oblivion first troubled our new earth. <br>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #5
<div align="left"><font face=5>Council members, haste trumps ceremony. I trust that the learned may differentiate between the Tower of metaphysics and the Towers of History. <br>
Let us begin the lessonates. <br>
<br>
<font face="1">What are the Towers? <br>
<font face="5">They are magical and physical echoes of the Ur-Tower, Ada-mantia. Ada-mantia was the first spike of unassailable reality in the Dawn, otherwise called the Zero Stone. The powers at Ada-mantia were able to determine through this Stone the spread of creation and their parts in it. <br>
The powers also created Red Tower and the First Stone. This allowed the Mundus to exist without the full presence of the divine. In this way, the powers of Ada-mantia granted the Mundus a special kind of divinity, which is called NIRN, the consequence of variable fate. <br>
<br>
After these two acts, which is commonly called the Convention, the gods left the earth. <br>
As they were the most powerful of lesser spirits in the ages after the Convention and eager to emulate what they saw, the Aldmer began construction of their own towers. That they built more than one shows you that they were not of one mind.<br>
The Aldmer began to split along cultural lines, on how best to spread creation and their parts in it. Each Tower that was built exemplified a separate accordance. <br>
<br>
This sundering of purpose is the myth of the "destruction of Aldmeris." Outside of the Dawn, and even then only in the dreamtime of its landscape, there was never a terrestrial homeland of the Elves. "Old Ehlnofey" is a magical ideal of mixed memories of the Dawn.<br>
<br>
Do not believe the written histories. <br>
All mortal life started on the starry heart of Dawn's beauty, Tamriel. <br>
<br>
<br>
If we are in haste, why are we being lectured about the<br> metaphysical meaning of Tower in ancient Aldmeris theology? I will have my adjutant inform me if anything of substance is revealed here. I suggest the rest of the Council do likewise. We have matters of real import to discuss with the Emperor today.<br>
<br>
Ocato<br>
<br>
<br>
I will second the Chancellor, though he needs none. <br>
If the gentleman surrounded by moths would please move on to the present threat assessment phase of his quadragraph....<br>
Hasphat Antabolis<br>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #6
<div align="left"><font face=5>Before I proceed, let it be known that I abide by the Council's wish to move the quadragraph further along. I rescind memo-spore lessonate sendings IV-IX from the dreamsleeve. They are become un-present at this session.<br>
I take my right to present two more, however, as under the Invocation of the Invisible Gate. <br>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #7
<div align="left"><font face="1">What are the Stones? <br>
<font face="5">The Stones are magical and physical echoes of the Zero Stone, by which a Tower might focus its energy to mold creation. Oftentimes, the Stones borrowed surplus creation from Oblivion, grafting it to the terrestrial domain of its anointed Tower. <br>
It was and is difficult to bypass Oblivion to go directly to creation's source, the Aetherius. It has been done, but not without great expenditure, mundane and otherwise. However, access to Oblivion, the Void that surrounds Mundex Arena, which we might touch every night, was child's play in comparison. <br>
Cultivating creatia that washed into the Void from Aetherius became the rule among Stones. <br>
The Daedric Realms were formed on much the same principle: padomaic powers using aetherial refuse to build their void-territories. The Towers built on the Mundus, since the lands around them congealed in the absence of the gods, were unable to match the capriciousness of the Lords of Misrule. <br>
<br>
<font face="3">Sometimes.
<font face="5">The Elves were dividing; some, like the Altmer, did their best to advocate "the will of Anuiel" and so embraced the chrysalis of the Convention; others, like the Chimer, refuted all orderings and aedric measures, following their prophet to "the Stone that is not a Stone that is." The most nefarious Tower, Walk-Brass, refuted even more, refuting unto dis-creation, but we shall come to its role in the present danger to Emperor Actual in a moment. It is but a lesser pawn to the greater evil: <br>
The Tower of White-Gold, whose Stone is Chim-el Adabal, Amulet of Kings, whose masters are returning. I speak of course of the Ayleids, for which "sometimes" was not good enough. <br>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #8
<div align="left"><font face=1>What is White-Gold Tower? <br>
<font face="5">Like all of the polydox constructs of the earliest Aldmer-- whatever their abnegaurbic creed-- White-Gold Tower is a conduit of creatia, aad sembia sembio, built to bring about a reversal of the congealing spiritual bleed caused by the Convention. In other words, it was a focus point for (re-)reaching the divine.
White-Gold Tower was made by the Ayleids, the Heartland High Elves that would have none to do with their isle-kind. Where the Altmer sought to focus on dracochrysalis, or keeping elder magic bound before it could change into something lesser (and act which ironically required aetherial surplus), the Ayleids harvested castaway creatia from Oblivion by entering a pact with the masters of the Void, the Princes of Misrule.<br>
*** <br>
<font face="3">Gypsy Moth dustmemore insert - <font face="5">it should be noted here that it is always foolish to think of whole races sharing like minds. "Ayleid" is as much a metaphysical designation as it is a cultural one. Just like the earliest Chimer who orphaned themselves from the Velothi Exodites, but remain Chimer today, large numbers of Ayleids showed more interest in the immediate earthly needs of agriculture rather than the magical needs of concept-farming. This distinction becomes important later, when "Ayleid" begins to designate other, and ofttimes foreign, agencies.<br>
*** <br>
Every dawnmaker Tower takes a myth-form. Red Tower is a volcano and its surrounds. Snow Throat a mountain whose apex is only half here. Walk-Brass is appropriately ambulatory, and (most of the time) anthropomorphic. The Aldmeri polydoxes were cosminachs, and the White-Gold project was and is no different.
Though the Ayleids gave theirs a central Spire as the imago of Ada-mantia, the whole of the polydox resembled the Wheel, with eight lesser towers forming a ring around their primus. To dismiss this mythitecture as being a mockery of the Aurbis is to ignore an important point: this same "jest" gave White-Gold Tower a power over creatia unalike any on this plane(t). It was a triumph of sympathetic megafetish, and the Start of the [Threat! To! Empire!] that brings me to this Council. <br>
<br>
If the Ayleids made their own Wheel within the Wheel, were-web <font face="3">aad semblio<font face="5">, what would happen if they plucked its strings?

統治者にして！ 威風堂々とし！ 絶対の性善者たる！ Ocato首相へ。<br>
<br>
首相、直接手紙を送信することをお許しください。そして、私の中の全ての祖先への敬意をこめてこれを為したことをご理解ください。しかし、GrandmasterのJauffreは、Sphinxmoth Inquiry Treeの発見した現帝国（Empire Actual）に警告に対する先の努力に応じることはありませんでした。私は、これらの警告は彼らの目を引くにはあまりにも難解に過ぎたかもしれないことを認めます。<br>
<br>
要するに、Barrier（結界）は弱まっており、その理由を知っています。もっと申し上げますと、私はDawntimeとAldmerの霊へと遡ろうと蔓延る陰謀を見つけました。現帝国はかつての存在に脅かされており、Ayleidは絶滅していなかったのです。<br>
<br>
私の耳と唇に最も近い蛾たちは肉体の段階にあった間、Belharza the Bull（訳註３）の元で貢献してくれました。貴方様は、それによって私の忠誠の程をご存知のはず。Elder Councilで拝聴する許可を、たとえ公爵の覚書の一抹だけでもお与え下さい。<br>
<br>
Red Diamondの元に、 <br>
Nu-Hatta <br>
<br>
<br>
Brother Nu-Hatta,へ、<br>
ええ、貴方の報告を思い出しました。Jauffreはそれらを途中で握り潰しました。面白い理論ですが、我々がすべきことは何もありませんでした。帝国中に蔓延る悪しき陰謀？ 失礼ながら、貴方の巧妙な伝達者も、Elder Scrollsも、蛾の祖先も、我らにそれほど有用な情報を提供してきませんでした。事が起きてから、そう。予言はそれから常に意味のあるものとなるのです。歴史家と学者は、そうしたものの上に彼らの経歴を作り出すものです。<br>
しかし、現時点での帝国政府における私の仕事は数多くの問題と危機を孕んでいることはあまりにも明白。軽んじているつもりではありません。具体的なものを下さい。そうすれば我等が動くところを見るでしょう。<br>

心に留めて、<br>

私の報告は以下のものです。我々は現在、Eldersの傍で占いをする時だと思えと？<br>
Red Diamondの元に、敬具<br>

<br>

<br>
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #3
<div align="left"><font face=5>Elder Councilの議員方へ
これがぶしつけな手段で貴方の元に届けられたことをお許しください。しかし、Ocatoが最小限の同意を与えたことを、その跡から読み取ってください。また、Edict 18.x2n.3E2ISからなされているように、Ancestor-Moth教団が完全に全ての点でCouncilを受け入れることもお知りください。Simulacrum Terminatus（幻影の終焉）なる議会の主張がまだ尾を引いていても。<br>
<br>
形而上学的Towerに関する学問は全ての中でも至高のもの。Selective以来、我らはShezzaerのパワーシンボルに対して危険な関心は向けてきませんでした。ここにいる誰かが、これを事故だと考えたことは？ そのような所業は、doppeldreamと違法なメッセージの発信に影響されたなどとは？ ここにいる誰かが、これがTharnatosと彼のスリーパーによる所業ではないと思ったことは？ <br>
<br>
Red Towerの崩壊はCyrodiilの各諜報部の上品な勝利と見なしてはなりません。何故ならば、我々は再びDagonities（訳注：Dagonたち？）によって再び罠に陥ったからです。長い時代を通し、Chimerの土地神がDivineの支配を蝕んだが、実際のところFirst Stoneによる彼らの保護はそのままでなければならなかった：我々の敵の皮肉に満ちた保護を。<br>
<br>
地上に存在する各Towerは、嘘と誤解の元に隠された歴史があります。彼らがもう一度支配権を得る大地は今や東西ともが帝国の伸張に対する注意、現世的な、そして恐ろしい目的に対して反応しているという一般的合意はなされているはずであり、災難と共に波紋は広がっています。 <br>
<br>
私の前置きのコメントに関連するものだけで、Councilのある者は戒告の権利を行使する訓練をしたいと思うか、沈黙するよう喚起するであろうことを理解しております。私は今はこれらを聞くために、胞子を引かせておきましょう。もしそうでなければ、続けようかと思います。<br>
<br>
<br>
続けます。必ずや。<br>
Councilには私を沈黙させる力はあるかもしれませんが、彼らには耳を塞ぐことはできないのですから。私は、何もない状態では手元に来た話題を論破することはできません。<br>
Councilが下す私の立場は弱く、非生産的なものですので。<br>
<br>
Divayth Fyr <br>

<br>
<div align="center"><font face=2>Letter #4
<div align="left"><font face=5>現在ある問題の始まりは、Merethic Eraにまでさかのぼる。<br>
<br>
... <br>
<br>
私は既に抗議の声を聞いています。どうぞ、私がCouncilの評定によって留まり、昔の書式で認可された方形図に発見したものを示すことを保障させてください。形而上学的根、歴史のレッスン的なもの、現在の脅威の評定、そして敵の作戦の推定。催眠状態に入りたい全てのEldersは、現在そうしているかもしれません。<br>
<br>
AldmerたちはDawnに分派しましたが、そして全ての物事のように、これらの断裂は準現世における修正を享受しました。時折、Island of Startは我々と共にあり、別な場合は異なるか、全てがそうではないか、実際の霊に近かった。 <br>
<br>
Jillsは全ての力を持っていなかった。むしろ、私が言わなければならないのは、全てのMundesの霊はあらゆる時間、あらゆる命令に対してあらゆる力を持ち、彼らの誰もが決して完全には己を表現することは出来なかったといわれています；我らの世界は若く、そして、その建築家たる神々も然り。<br>
<br>
次のものは、異なった形で我等全員に知られており、そして、Dawnの不可能性はこれらの記憶全てに保証を添えるものです。Ur-Tower、Adamantine、又の名をDirenniというそれの、創造と目的についてお話しします。<br>
<br>
Auriel――つまり――Akatoshは、彼の支配する惑星からMundex Arenaに戻り、aurbicな時の外に流れる静的会議で会合を開くため、全てのAedraに合図を送りました。彼の輝く銀の船は、変わり行く大地に入るに従いトゲとなり、その影響によるかすかな光は記録に残されることになるであろう、オーラに包まれた全ての霊に通知を発した――ここでの彼らの行動における出席の同意は、攻撃不可の期間の間続き、後に来るであろうこれらの霊も全てそうなったのでしょう。エーテルと再結合したか、進んで屈したか、裏切りによって消滅したにしても。こうして、Aedraと彼らの眷属は現実界において本当の集会を開くことができました。<br>
<br>
我等の先祖は、Ada-mantia、Ur-Tower、そしてZero Stoneの建立を見ました。Eldersにこの真実を認めさせましょう。あらゆるTowerは、そのStoneを抱きます。Conventionのimpossipointは初回でしたが、異伝ではその真のタイトルはFirst Stoneでした。 <br>
<br>
何故ならば、我々は最後には神体系の一部となるからです。Lorkhanが神聖であるか冒涜的であるか、超越的な存在であると判断されたかどうかは口にしないことにします。Temple of the Oneの兄弟たちは、第三位の感覚勾配におけるこれを論じるため、私の最初の図を示した後は休会するかもしれません；同時に巻きひげのように渦巻く議論は、Mothによって奨励されるでしょう。それはAda-mantiaのエコー効果を示す私の第一次概念であり、Emperor Actual（現皇帝）を結局は煩わせることになる理由です。因果関係から説明される議論なくては、First Stoneを語ることによってこうすることしか出来ません。<br>
<br>
<font face="3">"Aad semblio impera, dela can carpio semblex." <br>
<br>
<font face="5">これらの言葉に対し、Enlnofeyの多頭の言語を唱えてみましょう。フレーズの意味は「彼らの影の心臓部となる王のイメージにあるように（as in the image of the kings become the hearts of their shadows）」と「王の心臓部にある影はこのようなイメージである（the shadows in kingly hearts are images of as）であり、「as」とあるところには原初の言葉で包まれたものを意味します。<br>
<br>
Conventionの結果は、過多のため地上世界を去り、自身の利益のために、しかしAda-mantiaの外観のように彼らの出発の後も持続するものがなくてはならないというものでした。Mundasは二番目のTower、Red、そのFirst StoneはHeart of World、「イメージにあるように（as in the image）」を与えられました。<br>
<br>
Time began to last in stepped-fashion. Those spirits that remained, lesser and greater, involuntary or eventual earthbone, surrendered all definite hold on divinity.

I take my right to present two more, however, as under the Invocation of the Invisible Gate. <br>

<div align="left"><font face="1">What are the Stones? <br>
<font face="5">The Stones are magical and physical echoes of the Zero Stone, by which a Tower might focus its energy to mold creation. Oftentimes, the Stones borrowed surplus creation from Oblivion, grafting it to the terrestrial domain of its anointed Tower. <br>
It was and is difficult to bypass Oblivion to go directly to creation's source, the Aetherius. It has been done, but not without great expenditure, mundane and otherwise. However, access to Oblivion, the Void that surrounds Mundex Arena, which we might touch every night, was child's play in comparison. <br>
Cultivating creatia that washed into the Void from Aetherius became the rule among Stones. <br>
The Daedric Realms were formed on much the same principle: padomaic powers using aetherial refuse to build their void-territories. The Towers built on the Mundus, since the lands around them congealed in the absence of the gods, were unable to match the capriciousness of the Lords of Misrule. <br>
<br>
<font face="3">Sometimes.
<font face="5">The Elves were dividing; some, like the Altmer, did their best to advocate "the will of Anuiel" and so embraced the chrysalis of the Convention; others, like the Chimer, refuted all orderings and aedric measures, following their prophet to "the Stone that is not a Stone that is." The most nefarious Tower, Walk-Brass, refuted even more, refuting unto dis-creation, but we shall come to its role in the present danger to Emperor Actual in a moment. It is but a lesser pawn to the greater evil: <br>
The Tower of White-Gold, whose Stone is Chim-el Adabal, Amulet of Kings, whose masters are returning. I speak of course of the Ayleids, for which "sometimes" was not good enough. <br>
<br>

<div align="left"><font face=1>What is White-Gold Tower? <br>
<font face="5">Like all of the polydox constructs of the earliest Aldmer-- whatever their abnegaurbic creed-- White-Gold Tower is a conduit of creatia, aad sembia sembio, built to bring about a reversal of the congealing spiritual bleed caused by the Convention. In other words, it was a focus point for (re-)reaching the divine.
White-Gold Tower was made by the Ayleids, the Heartland High Elves that would have none to do with their isle-kind. Where the Altmer sought to focus on dracochrysalis, or keeping elder magic bound before it could change into something lesser (and act which ironically required aetherial surplus), the Ayleids harvested castaway creatia from Oblivion by entering a pact with the masters of the Void, the Princes of Misrule.<br>
