[SUM] Musings on Numerology

Piece by MammaHyena, called "Musings on Numerology":

I’ve turned my cheek towards the sun and felt it’s rays wanting. The east wears the colors of apostasy, first as prophecy, later as bruised hides. There is neither order nor glory in flight, nor does its synchronicity bring purpose deeper than the movement of feet and the exodus of linearity.

Shame to the children of horizontal wandering for our exodus transcends cardinal directions.

Tamriel_Data Imported Book edits

Tamriel_Data has a bunch of books imported from Daggerfall, Oblivion and Skyrim which also inherited all of the spelling and grammatical errors from the original texts.

I've gone over all of the books listed on the UESP page and fixed a number of errors as listed below. ESO books have been left untouched, as a number of them are already being considered for rewrites or deprecation.

"Before the Ages of Man" edit

The Oblivion book "Before the Ages of Man" is filled with typos, grammatical errors and poor sentence structure. It reads more like an early draft than a finished in-game book. The version found in Tamriel_Data is currently a copy-paste of the Oblivion text. I've made an edit that removes the typos and lightly rewords most of the the book to improve the sentence structure while still keeping to the original intention of the text.

The Two Brothers

[a short parable distributed to literate commoners by the senna cult to extole the value of hard work]

    Among the rice fields along the lake near the City of a Thousand Cults lived a father and his two sons, Phrastus and Plautis. Their father had business to attend to in Leyawiin, and as his sons were grown and yet unmarried, he instructed them to watch over the fields until his return after the harvest. The two brothers agreed and their father left to conduct his business, leaving them a sum of septims to pay for anything that might be needed with the planting.

 

Imgan Myth, Otaagras

Might turn this into an "Imgan Myth" series later on, as there's quite a few other stories I've cooked up over the years that probably deserve their own separate books in data. This one is the idea that the Imga believe Nirn was a singular continent (something like Pangea), and various tribes caused it to break through underhanded mystical means lost to time. This caused them to change into what they are now. It's also meant to line up - to a VERY loose (and kind of heretical) degree - with the Anuad.
