dunmeri seafaring traditions

with one of the longest coastlines in tamriel, the fishing and maritime industries are integral to morrowind’s economy and culture. the ocean, however, is a realm full of portent and danger to the dunmer, in a way beyond the mundane sensibilities of any other people. drowning or otherwise dying at sea is the worst death imaginable. heavy and waterlogged instead of cremated to light ash, sinking irretrievably to the depths instead of floating upon the breeze, a watery demise mocks a dunmer’s dignity and personhood, and rends them from their family forever. the ocean is the world’s largest cardruhn: teeming with lost spirits whose only waiting door is the cold current.

dunmeri fishermen and sailors take extensive precautions to avoid disaster. propitiation is made to the sea through ritual prayer before setting sail, and a wealth of apotropaic objects and personal good luck charms are taken aboard. many dunmer ornament their boats with symbols designed to frighten away vengeful spirits, or soothe them into gentle waves. cargo is never thrown overboard unless absolutely necessary, as dunmer respect the lonely resting place of drowned ancestors, and fear incurring their wrath by polluting it.

particularly on long voyages, a lantern is lit from the sacred hearth fire of one’s home to keep their house-spirits’ protection close around them. if the flame ever goes out, one’s fate is ill indeed.

who up experiencing divine madness

[noxcorvid]

i feel like the elder scrolls is probably the worst fictional world to get transported to. like no matter what you do you will eventually get tormented by hermaeus mora because he will sense that you know something that he doesnt and then hes going to get really mad that you cant fully recite the wikipedia page on the japanese raccoon dog.
