Is Cadwell all he seems?

Surragard · October 2014

At first glance I thought he was the imperial scholar from the Improved Emperors Guild to Tamriel that came with the Imperial Edition

There are a couple characters that are actually authors of various books from the main series in game though. Neramo in the Covenant plot line comes to mind most immediately.

What I find interesting about the lore books is that book from TESV: Skyrim (Ruminations of the Elder Scrolls) which you find in ESO. It wasn't written until the 4th Era yet you find it. Interesting is it not? Must have been sent back in time some how?

Crassius Curio's rather infamous book also appears, so that's a bit odd.

It's mentioned that the Lusty Argonain Maid was originaly an oral story that got written down at some point. Perhaps Curio's version is just an adaptation, or he plagiarized? Or perhaps is somehow 1000 or so years old? Vampire? IDK There is a character mentioned in ESO, Divayth Fyr, that is still alive in the 3rd era, but UESP says he's like 4000 years old in TESIII, who the hell knows how that happened?

The Lusty Argonian Maid certainly did start as an oral story...

SantieClaws · October 2014

All the Argonians I have met have been wise elders most concerned for Hist trees and missing guar. I have yet to meet a single one of them who could be described as even slightly lusty.

Maybe when we get to Murkmire they could introduce an inn of a similar kind to the Ebon Flask in Ebonheart? If you have been there you will know what I mean ....

Every myth has its origin somwhere .....

Exactly that. They're being pulled out of their correct time by the influence of Hermaeus Mora. From the loading screen of Gandranen Ruins: "Tales say that Gandranen was built by an Ayleid sorcerer, a worshiper of Hermaeus Mora who so loved books that she created a series of magical halls that would attract books from across Tamriel, no matter where—or when—they were published."

I am actually hoping a bit that Cadwell is actually Barbas, companion to Clavicus Vile. We know that Barbas doesn't NEED to take the form of a dog, so the form of a soul shriven is possible for him, and would suit his more meddling ways. Also, he does sort of follow the main character around a bit more than a normal human would.

Probably Hermeus Mora or one of the other temporal paradoxes in the setting. The entire "Dragon Break" concept is (arguably) discussing the player saving and reloading their game.

Divayth Fyr is an absurdly powerful mage who's prolonged his life one way or another to virtual immortality. Though the story in the motif books is freakin' hillarious.

I'm also all for Crassius Curio being a plagiarist, except for the part where one of the characters in the book is pretty clearly a self insert of himself.

So basically anything at all that doesn't make sense they can just say "Hermaeus Mora did it". Gotta love the old floating bundle of tentacles.

dodgehopper_ESO · October 2014

I've wondered about Cadwell also, but I just don't think he's Sheogorath.

No, but the setting does acknowledge that everything's a little weird. We can probably thank Michael Kirkbride for that, though he's obviously not the only one responsible for the tone.

Then you obviously haven't seen enough argonians. Visit Riften (in EU server) sometimes and you might meet argonian called Casts-Many-Storms, you can't get more lusty than that guy.

Caldwell is John Cleese. Thought that would've been obvious.

He knows too much.

I thought he was sheogorath in disguise, I still kind of do. Who would be the first person you meet in coldharbour but the mad God himself? And of course being the oldest inhabitant. And they look just similar enough. And wouldn't he be the one to watch everything unfold. Plus the pot head. That's silly too.

Jesus Christ, why necro this thread?

SantieClaws · October 2018

Khajiit was wondering why she started getting notifications for a very old thread that she had not favourited.

Then she sees that a former aspect of her own soul started it.

The things that happen on a Morndas yes …

Cadwell was the first thread necromancer.

It is know.

Aebaradath · October 2018

Ah, a good ol' thread from before the weird Khajiit roleplay game currently going on.

But still... even Undertaker rose to this necro.

Numerikuu · October 2018

It's so, so, SO strange seeing a SantieClaws post that isn't in Khajiit speak lol

SaxonCrusader · October 2018

generalmyrick · October 2018

i think cadwell is a aedra/daedra/god thingy.

just makes sense.

srfrogg23 · October 2018

Well, at least it's still a relevant question. Who is Cadwell, really?

Technically Khajiit was just a twinkle in the stars yes when this thread was started.

Then came the miracle of Fishmas …

How did you even find this thread?? It's from 2014. Did you do a search or something?
