Okay I was able to save the image from Elder Memes page and blow it up. I flipped it like @Raisin suggested but idk if I am even close to a translation. I am not even close to an expert but here is what I got: "RED THEM FROM BOUGHS BOTH GNARLED AND BLACK"

I didn't do the very bottom yet.

I'm not sure about Red, but the rest of the sentence I believe is spot on. Great eyes on you.

Edit: What if 3rd and 4th leater are squashed together and the first word is "Reap"?

Yeah red didn't make sense to me either. Reap kind of fits. I am trying to do the last part but it makes no sense what I have so far.

"MA THE REAP A GREAT HARVEST"

First two words make no sense

On the REd part I put an L so mine reads Led them both...

Yakhem (Y) is often dropped in written daedric scrolls and inscriptions. With Yakhem added back in, the line reads MAY THEY REAP A GREAT HARVEST.

There you go then, that lore bit was our missing piece.

OtarTheMad

Hm, well the fifth word is up for debate only because you really only see four letters and reads out like: GRE and the last letter could be a few different choices but not many make a word. I guessed GREAT cause it fit in my brain

EDIT- Well that was fun. Good job all.

The source in case somone questions it lol, nice catch btw. https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Daedric_Alphabet

X and YEdit
Typically the "X" (Xayah) and "Y" (Yakhem) were often omitted in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, though there are some instances in which they were used, such as "y" in "Tel Fyr," or the "X" on the inscription "EFCPHEQX" found on the Daedric Battle Axe.

The letter "Y" is used in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion such as on the Mages Guild seal, yet the "Y" is omitted in the Mysterium Xarxes and on the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal: "Shadow Hide ou."

I've also tried my hand at all the other bits and pieces on that page, but nothing's led anywhere. A lot of it is too ambiguous to my eyes and while there are some very easy to discern letters, I couldn't guess any words.

For what it's worth I agree that it's GRE, and the fourth letter looks very much like an Ayem, A. I don't see a T anywhere though, and Tayem is certainly not a frequently dropped letter. I'm not sure what to make of that! I note your edit, did somebody crack it fully somewhere? I wish we had clearer pictures.

I'm pretty sure Ovaltine doesn't exist in the lore.

On topic, we know Mannimarco had some dealings with the Despot of Markarth, who is in turn tied to the Reach, so maybe he's coming back? ZOS seems determined to drag all the vanilla main story NPCs back into the spotlight, so from that perspective it would be logical.

Truthsnark

Does this look possible for part of that really long inscription? The top line is different and the next three look like the same line repeated.

Iskiab

So this may be a jump, but what’s everyone thinking who knows the lore?

Reaper class? Lich skill line? Reach area or maybe an undead dungeon/trial?

I'm betting Mannimarco makes a return. This staff may look familiar...

Not that I am aware of I am just taking your other post as it.

So we now have: LED THEM FROM BOUGHS BOTH GNARLED AND BLACK and the bottom text is: MAY THEY REAP A GREA(T) HARVEST.

That fifth word in the bottom part is throwing it all off lol. But for now I am gonna say it says this on Elder Memes pic.

After seeing a return of Akamai, I've lost all interest in the game yet again for the same reason so I won't be around for the next chapter unfortunately, not if Akamai is sticking around. The game is currently unplayable, I've gone from 220 ping to 420. Thanks ZoS.

Reach magic it is. Suck it vampire fanboys,

Kinda interested now, because if I'm not mistaken, Reach magic is ancient, pre-dating most other forms of magic on Tamriel.

Imagine thinking it's reach magic with that urnn looking like that. Oof.

I'll make a reminder to yet again laugh in your honor when it has something to do with vampires instead/also.

Libonotus

That urn 100% looks looks like the urn Serena was locked in in Skyrim.

You can say that’s not lore friendly all you want, but, we literally had dragons this year.

Faulgor

Gods I hope this isn't about Reachmen again. I feel we had enough of those in the base game zones and Wrothgar.
Daedric Princes also make me roll my eyes at this point.

However, maybe this is just about the Q1 DLC like the Wrathstone tablet last year. We'll see.

Serana in an urn!? When was she cremated?

Maybe, I was looking at pics of her stuff earlier and her tube is just black asphalt or stone. The only intricate markers are on the top before of the thing.
I even looked at vampire clans sigils and other vokihar clothing to try and match.

The closetst thing I got was manimarcos head piece and and the hargravens weird markers.

I will find a link before the 16th lol

Thevampirenight

I wonder if they are using these clues and words to maybe tie into various lore books, maybe to hint at what is to come.

Death is naught but a fitful sleep, https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Eslaf_Erol Fitful sleep is mentioned in this book. But so Eslaf Erol was given his birthright with his father's dying breath. .... after a fitful sleep, Suoibud woke up at about noon, and surprised a thief in his bedroom. .... and Laernu's prize crop of Jazbay has been temporarily destroyed for naught ...
Also ties into this https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:36_Lessons_of_Vivec,_Sermon_16
There, clockwork shears were taking off Vivec's hair. A beggar king had brought his loom and was making of the hair an incomplete map of adulthood and death.
Damage us more and you will find naught but the absence of our dead.'

Also another thing The moon does not recognize crowns or scepters,' they said, 'nor the representatives of kingdoms below, lion or serpent or mathematician. We are the graves of those that have migrated and become ancient countries. We seek no Queens or thrones.
Maybe that symbol could be a scepter.
Both of these texts mention the begger, both have naught or death within and both have mentions of the begger king.
LED THEM FROM BOUGHS BOTH GNARLED AND BLACK
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:A_Dance_in_Fire

The band of six and their Bosmer escorts began the descent down a rocky path along the bluff. Within an hour's time, they were deep in the jungles of Valenwood. A never-ending canopy of hues of browns and greens obscured the sky. A millennia's worth of fallen leaves formed a deep, wormy sea of putrefaction beneath their feet. Several miles were crossed wading through the slime. For several more, they took a labyrinthian path across fallen branches and the low-hanging boughs of giant trees.

Falinesti spread across the horizon before him. Sprawling across both banks of the river stood the mighty graht-oak city, with groves and orchards of lesser trees crowding it like supplicants before their king. At a lesser scale, the tree that formed the moving city would have been extraordinary: gnarled and twisted with a gorgeous crown of gold and green, dripping with vines and shining with sap. At a mile tall and half as wide, it was the most magnificent thing Scotti had ever seen. If he had not been a starving man with the soul of a clerk, he would have sung.
A great plume of smoke black as pitch was rising above the trees. As they drifted around the bend, they next saw the flames, and then the blackened skeletal remains of the village. Dying, blazing villagers leapt from rocks into the river. A cacophony of wailing met their ears, and they could see, roaming along the edges of the town, the figures of Khajiiti soldiers bearing torches.

Going by what we know so far the Reachmen use dark magic. What if the hints could maybe leading into something to do with the king of western Skyrim. Then another might have to do with dealing with the reach and maybe one possibility the corruption of the landscape going on and the taint the necromancers have placed onto it?. Maybe even the disappearance of Falinesti itself. We don't know the full picture but what people translated already maybe is being hinted at by the worlds you got to go to the lore look up the books and see what is written. Maybe they are using those words from various texts and source books to tell what might be going on. Maybe there is a message and order to understand the message you have to look up the words? By google find the various lore books that have those words with in them?
I really am thinking we might be seeing what has happened to Falinesti, Led them from Boughs Both Gnarled and Black. I do think the https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Labyrinthian
Will play some role in that and maybe our role is to lead them back out the people of Falinesti and maybe Faliesti itself?
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Falinesti
During the early years of the Interregnum, but before the city disappeared, the Battle of Falinesti took place between Bosmer and Khajiiti forces as part of the numerous border skirmishes between Valenwood and Elsweyr in that time. Beaten at the battle of Sphynxmoth, the Khajiiti commander Eagle Eye ordered his troops into an orderly retreat to the Vale of Falinesti. The Bosmer set a trap and fell upon them from every side. The battle was short and vicious. All Khajiiti were butchered and some were even roasted alive,

Also guess where the Labyrinthian is? Hjaalmarch
Hjaalmarch is home to the Karth delta,[5] also called the Mouths of the Karth,[6] where the mighty Karth River and the smaller River Hjaal empty into the Sea of Ghosts through a variety of intricate channels. The Deathbell flower is known to be abundant throughout the swamps.[7] Many ruins dot the hold, including the legendary Labyrinthian.[8][9] Combined with the fog that surrounds the marshes and the creatures that stalk the land (Wispmothers purportedly originated here), Hjaalmarch is considered one of the more mysterious holds in Skyrim.

In comparisons to the texts in dances with fire.

Both areas sound swampy one has lots of leaves covering and obscuring and the other has mist, there is a river and the both lands would have a sea of putrefaction aka swamp water about them. Meaning the city could be in Skyrim.

Faulgor

Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, but the black symbol reminds me of a Falmer's head, with the small protrusions being the ears, the larger holes the eyes, and the slit between them their strange nose.

To me it looks like the black marking is Markarth and the red marking is a bit off from Dragon's Bridge.

Chapter 4: ???

Flesh out Reachmen: the boring content in the history of TESO.
The community thinks that the Reachmen story would be epic, lol!. Have you played Skyrim? And you must have got that letter from a lol quest giver, regarding the Reachmen near Markarth. It was initially interesting then it became boring to forgettable.
And the Reachmen that you guys love so much are just a bunch of cave men Bretons. Let those lousy daggerfall cults handle them.

Skyrim belongs to the nords and the story should involve the nords..

Falmer, this is heavily influenced by the nords,
Dragon priest, heavily influenced ( but the year of the Chinese market dragon is over.

So, finally the Devs can make actual content rather than pushing their broken lore, game and business to the Chinese audience and macrotransactions like their failed mobile card game " TES LEGENDS" lol name...it died like a legend to be forgotten....

I will say tho that I also didn't really like The Reach area in Skyrim. Kind of boring and annoying. I mean it's fine if we go here but Reachmen are already ALL over this game.
