Talos the mighty! Talos the unnerring! Talos the Unassailable! To you, we give praise!

We are but maggots, writhing in the FILTH of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the DUNG of mortality, now walk among the stars!

Aye, you were once man. And as man, you said – “Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter! I breathe now in royalty, and reshape this land that is mine. I do this for you, Red Legion, for I LOVE YOU!”

Aye, love. LOVE! Even as man, great Talos cherished us! For he saw in us; in each of us; the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are but children of man, Talos is the true GOD of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit. The very idea is inconcievable to our elven overlords! Sharing the heavens? With man! HA! They can barely tolerate our presence on Earth!

Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then?! Do the elves take your homes? Your buisinesses? YOUR CHILDREN? YOUR VERY LIVES?!?!?! And what does the empire do? NOTHING! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial Machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!

So rise up…RISE UP AGAINST THE EMPIRE. RISE UP, STORMCLOAKS! EMBRACE THE WORD OF MIGHTY TALOS, HE WHO IS BOTH MAN, AND DIVINE!

For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both Heavens and Earth! And we, not the elves, will rule Skyrim forever!

Terrible and powerful Talos! We are unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise, you do, for we are one! ‘Ere, you ascend, and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man!
