#miraak being the best historian and theologian to ever live is honestly my jam

[vokriid]

writing Miraak readjusting to being in Tamriel again is such a balancing act bc on the one hand, he's been gone such a long time that he literally forgot how to breathe, what hunger feels like, and that it gets dark at night. on the other hand, he's been in library hell for 6000yrs so you can bet your ass he's the single best informed person on Nirn. he is the foremost historian, alchemist, physician, physicist, theologian, mathematician, etc. he just... needs a little bit of help getting dressed real quick-

anyway, I just love love love having a Miraak who is undoubtedly like, the foremost expert on Tiber Septim, but he doesn't even like Talos, he was just bored and needed something to read. you can bet if someone's written it down and it floated into the possession of Hermaeus Mora's gross tentacles, Miraak has probably read it. he likely can't recall all of it and has forgotten a good deal, but he has read it. now he just needs to remember how to breathe.
