You have discovered the thirty-seventh Sermon of Vivec, which is a bending of the light, long past the chronicles of the Hortator who wore inconstant faces and ruled however they would, until apocalypse.
Vivec was borne by ribbons of water, which wrote their starward couplings in red. This was a new place of speed. His eyes broke on the spikes above the tower, where the Void Ghost squatted over a drake-scaled drum, imbecile in its rhythm. And he asked of it:
"Who are you, that need no signature at all?"
Three in sum, the robes of Ayem stretched towards the bright black rim of memory, roping an arc of purchase. This was a new sprinting task. And Seht held his swollen belly to its name, clockmaker's daughter, swimming the dead confession along a century of thread, Naming her, uneaten, a golden cache of Veloth and Velothi, for where else would they know to go?
"Go here: world without wheel, charting zero deaths, and echoes singing," Seht said, until all of it was done, and in the center was anything whatever.
And the red moment became a great howling unchecked, for the Provisional House was in ruin. And Vivec became as glass, a lamp, for the dragon's mane had broke, and the red moon bade him come.
"The sign of royalty is not this," a signal blueshift (female) told him, "There is no right lesson learned alone."
He refused the twine on her catching net, spiteful that an uncontinued people would not become fuller by their searching, and yet were wracked in their spirits for flight. But the male signals were offended, and Vivec took a fighting form. He undid his eastern light, saying to the ALMSIVI that through war, they had become brides in glass, which no power could observe.
The light bent, and Vivec donned a cuirass made of red plates of jewel, and a mask that marked him born in the lands of Man. Wheeling, he spread into an insect salve, worn on the neck of hist-bulbs when at challenge. He roared up and fed his fingers to mammoth ghosts. The signal fires wondered if they mistook this for surrender, for Vivec had told the void that he could learn to undo it all.
The light bent, and somewhere a history was finally undone. Of it, Vivec remembered the laughing of the netchimen of his village when the hunts were good. He marched with his father in the ash, growing strong in the hooks and sail, able to run a junk through silt. At eleven, he sung to an ashkhan. He became sick after Red Mountain, with the nix-blood and fever, and was infirm a hundred years. His mother survived him and laid his body at the altar of Padhome. She gave him her skin to wear into the underworld.
The light bent, and Vivec awoke and grew fangs, unwilling to make of herself a folding thing. This was a new and lunar promise. And in her Biting she tunneled up and then downward, while her brother and sister smeared across heaven, thin ruptures of dissent, food for scarabs and the Worm. She took her people and made them safe, and sat with Azura drawing her own husband's likeness in the dirt.
"For I have removed my left hand and my right, he will say," she said, "for that is how I shall win against them. Love alone and you shall know only mistakes of salt."
The worlding of the words is AMARANTH.

这里brides in glass,是什么样的意义?
2017年06月09日 13点06分
@HPLewis 我猜跟secret fire有关。这篇文中glass基本上跟lamp相关,然后bride加glass很容易联想到MLGB

这还让我想到了之前ESO里的另一个MK彩蛋[滑稽]DC阵营在帝都下水道的基地里有一个商人会吐槽每个人都知道Ayrenn女王是一个来自未来纪元的小机器人[滑稽]

所以MK其实是DC派来穿越到外部世界散播诽谤女王言论的~ [阴险]

the Hortator who wore inconstant faces and ruled however they would, until apocalypse
==================
这里貌似是对‘Landfall: Day One’的参照---Nerevarine驾驶Akulakhan大战Numidium---"Its third eye is open, with the barely discernable head of the Nerevarine serving as its pilot, the gender and race either indistinct or, if you prefer to render it this way: simply just "quantum-vibrating" too fast to tell."
Vivec was borne by ribbons of water, which wrote their starward couplings in red. This was a new place of speed. ...
==================
这段貌似说的是Vehk的归来。末日来临,Velothi的记忆召唤出审判席。
Three in sum, the robes of Ayem stretched towards the bright black rim of memory, roping an arc of purchase. This was a new sprinting task. And Seht held his swollen belly to its name, clockmaker's daughter, swimming the dead confession along a century of thread, Naming her, uneaten, a golden cache of Veloth and Velothi, for where else would they know to go?
"Go here: world without wheel, charting zero deaths, and echoes singing," Seht said, until all of it was done, and in the center was anything whatever.
==================
Numidium在删除现世,而Velothi被Memory保存下来。
And the red moment became a great howling unchecked, for the Provisional House was in ruin. And Vivec became as glass, a lamp, for the dragon's mane had broke, and the red moon bade him come.
==================
Vehk带领Velothi逃往Masser求生。"the red moment"一词出自'The Trial of Vivec',不过在这里指代Lanfall;审判一文本身是对Doctor Who第23季'The Trial of a Time Lord'系列故事的致敬,而"howling"在Doctor Who中是虚空的名字。
这段也有对"the Downed Lamp"意象的引用。
"The sign of royalty is not this," a signal blueshift (female) told him, "There is no right lesson learned alone."
==================
蓝星出场。话说俺花了好长时间才意识到,蓝星其实就是Tardis~
接下来几段说Vehk以及审判席的斗争。有趣的是,读者会以为这里应该说跟Landfall的对抗,但其实描述的是审判席最初暴力登天的努力,比如"born in the lands of Man"。
The light bent, and somewhere a history was finally undone. Of it, Vivec remembered the laughing of the netchimen of his village when the hunts were good. He marched with his father in the ash, growing strong in the hooks and sail, able to run a junk through silt. At eleven, he sung to an ashkhan. He became sick after Red Mountain, with the nix-blood and fever, and was infirm a hundred years. His mother survived him and laid his body at the altar of Padhome. She gave him her skin to wear into the underworld.
==================
Vehk终于成功改写了历史。历史终于成了Vehk在36课中宣传的版本?恰恰相反。Vehk接受了自己的出身,第一次承认了自己的父亲,与自己和解。他变成了她。
The light bent, and Vivec awoke and grew fangs, unwilling to make of herself a folding thing. This was a new and lunar promise. And in her Biting she tunneled up and then downward, while her brother and sister smeared across heaven, thin ruptures of dissent, food for scarabs and the Worm. She took her people and made them safe, and sat with Azura drawing her own husband's likeness in the dirt.
==================
Ayem与Seht在暴力登天的斗争中牺牲,而Vehk拒绝成为"a folding thing"也即地骨。就像36课中的事件,这里即是历史也是未来。我们知道Ayem在C0DA中没死去,不过这里Ayem跟Seht的牺牲,指的大概是他们做好了在Landfall中牺牲的准备。
"For I have removed my left hand and my right, he will say," she said, "for that is how I shall win against them. Love alone and you shall know only mistakes of salt."
==================
续上一段,Vehk跟Azura重新构想一只弥赛亚:Jubal
全文多处说到"light bend",指的应该是时空穿越。混淆时间线本来就是36课的特征,不足为奇,奇怪的是这本书怎么会出现在第二纪元。那时的Vehk应该还没这样的觉悟。
根据ESO中另一本新书"The Library of Dusk: Rare Books"中提及的"The Third Scroll of Baan Dar",这篇文是大盗Baan Dar穿越时空偷来的。

我在想“glass"本身是棱镜和透镜的原材料。玻璃透镜多重折射导致光线弯曲,总会有光线反射到原路径上,也就是历史的更改。可能37课是当时来看无穷未来中的一种,维克知道这种未来的可能性,但尚不确定是否要选择这种未来
2017年06月10日 13点06分
@nihilee 我是在想和红山的malachite有没有关系。malachite和绿色在埃及那边就是osiris的标志,自然复活的符号。然后我觉得ebony是lorkhan死的标志,然后glass是他作为凡人复活的标志。所以这个bride in glass除了三棱镜也可能是玻璃甲。还有其实光的反射
2017年06月10日 14点06分
@nihilee 除了改变历史还有别的意识:光是人本身自我最求的象,永恒和停滞不老不死。成为放射这个光的棱镜就是要击破停滞的渴求成为凡火带来颜色。这里是说Veloth教义对现世颜色的爱还有对ebony-》malachite从死掉的神到活着的人的信念
2017年06月10日 14点06分
@nihilee 光其实可以看成凡人自己创造的枷锁,历史的潮流,支配命运的伪神ZARDOZ。打破光是凡人反抗潮流开拓自己的命运

看见“The light bent, and somewhere a history was finally undone.”连在下这种对哲学和lore屁都不懂的家伙都能看出来是证实了c0da了。

@虫洞b zos那群人,虽然经常吃个书啥的吧,不过至少看的出来他们是真的对这个游戏的背景设定啥的非常感兴趣.....

:是的~我最佩服的事是让lore插入的很自然。很多支线任务或多或少的都会涉及lore里的内容……说到热爱我就不说ol直接搞出个loremaster's archive了
