The Elder Scrolls Conspiracy: The Main Hero

[Tormented]

I know what you are thinking, but honestly hear me out. No one really seems to know what happens to the hero of each game, in fact it's all a bit of a mystery, small hints are made by characters but nothing is set in stone. For example all the heroes of each game are inherently of a Male gender, now this coupled with the fact that in each game you start out as some form of “Prisoner” (Such as the metaphorical prisoner of a dungeon etc, etc) and if the Hero wasn't actually of a “Mortal” race more just a being brought into the world by the Nine to fight against a darkness, this can work with the coupling of Uriel Septim VII's strong affiliation with the Nine and so Uriel sees the Nine bringing this Hero into the realm.

 

Now back to the part of being a prisoner, as a prisoner you aren't born into the world with a family, you are a nobody who is not connected to anyone thus this allows the Nine to create a being who cannot be targeted through means of family, or loved ones. (I understand that in Skyrim you can have a wife/husband etc but that is purely a player decision and so it doesn't actually mean anything towards the lore) This means that even if anyone else is targeted by the enemies of the Nine/Hero they will not stray from their path of completing what the Nine had set out for them.

 

Now a lot of people suggest that Sheogorath may be the Hero of Kvatch, this is only suggested because he mentions a lot of what the Hero saw during the main quest line of Oblivion, but I kind of disagree with this statement, this is mainly due to the fact that he is the Daedric Prince of Madness. And as a Daedric Prince he has probably seen quite a lot of happenings in the mortal realm.

 

Anyway, have a nice discussion about it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

It is known that the Nerevarine went off to Akavir after the events of Morrowind. Skyrim definitely seems to hint toward the Champion becoming Sheogorath. Daedric Princes, while powerful, are not omniscient. If they were, then Mehrunes Dagon would've intercepted you on your travels during the main quest and probably killed Martin much sooner.

 

As for the Dovahkiin, fate is still out on that one. Skyrim's story isn't completely finished yet; many believe we'll be going to Hammerfell for a bit, and eventually take on the Aldmeri Dominion in some way. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dovahkiin became immortal too, the same way the Nerevarine and the Champion did.

The problem is each one of the daedric princes seem to be good at many different things, for example some would argue that whilst Dagon is extremely powerful he may not be the smartest being to have ever been created, and so whilst Sheogorath isn't a formidable fighter, his madness seems to link to being quite a powerful user of magic and thus linking him to being quite intelligent, and so some princes may know more in the mortal realm than others.

 

I can very much see the Dovahkiin going to take down the Aldmeri Dominion, however yet again this is clearly down to player decision, especially since the fact that the Empire and the Thalmor seem to intertwine with each other, although this may change over the course of timeline however.

As far as I understand it, all of the expansion packs "happened", in the broadest sense.

This means the Champion of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath back in Shivering Isles. If he is no longer Sheogorath... then what happened?

As an aside, this means Dawnguard happened, but the fate of that Dawnguard is unknown. If anything I'd guess they would be fated to die out (or replaced with a new set of people, at least).

...I really need to play Daggerfall at some point...
