11 Forces - Psijics Lore

Freddycruz89 · July 2018

Has any body figured out what the 11 forces are yet? Have not seen much online with viable game references other than "Change".

If you have figured it out, please comment with a list and respective in game sources.

Thanks!

I have only come across this - explaining that these forces are of Nature

I know 5 of the 11
Earth,Fire,Wind,Water,and Heart lol

I wonder if Light and Darkness could be forces of nature, and gravity as well

LMar · July 2018

I've mused that they are forces similar to the Divines eg beauty, order, etc but they don't really fit in with the Psijics

The developers talked about it on the pre-Summerset stream, but said they didn't want to spoil it and would leave it to us the fans to figure out as we adventure. I also remember reading a passage on a book in Summerset, but can't remember the name. If anyone figures out with proof, please post.Thanks!

This book tells of Three Middle Forces, Balance, Envelopment and Contemplation

not sure if there are any others mentioned in these motif books as I only have the one

@Eporem Thank you for contributing to the search. This is perfect! 8 more to go

Eporem · July 2018

well 7 more:) if you consider Change as one of these Forces

Perhaps the sage Taheritae said it best: "In Mundus, conflict and disparity are what bring change, and change is the most sacred of the Eleven Forces.

I went and watched the Summerset Lore Video on Twitch that you mentioned and I think what was stated in this, is that not all of these Forces are going to be revealed with this DLC, though I hope I am wrong.

Awesome @Eporem! One more down! Thank you.

I'm not sure if the forces will all be revealed this Chapter either (I mean I would assume they would since they are part of Psijic Lore), but we can try to find them. This is great progress nonetheless.

I was thinking of revisiting the Keep of the Eleven Forces in Summerset and look around with more time. When I was running the quest I just passed by it and din't really explore it thoroughly. Maybe that will provide more answers. If they should be anywhere it would be there...we'll see. I'll keep you posted.

the book "The Monomyth" also mentions the Eleven Forces in its entry quote

"In Mundus, conflict and disparity are what bring change, and change is the most sacred of the Eleven Forces. Change is the force without focus or origin."—Oegnithr, Taheritae, Order of PSJJJJ"

So, we know Balance, Envelopment, Contemplation, and Change

I begin now to wonder if it is the Daedra that the Psijics refer to as being most sacred

from reading this:

Aedra are associated with stasis. Daedra represent change.

I know this doesn't help much, but during the Summerfall stream they mentioned that one of the ruins was ruined because the Psijics had theorized that three of the eleven forces might be the same force and they tried to map them on to each other. (Obviously that didn't end well.) So three of the eleven should be somewhat similar to each other.

The Eleven Forces is also mentioned in a letter to Queen Ayrenn from Advisor Penewin, which is found behind the throne in Alinor.

It seems the Argonians revere Change as well
