I had a dream that you came to my high school (I've long graduated) and told me there was someone I should meet on the 7th floor, which I didn't know existed. When I went there, it was a room absolutely packed with like chuck-e-cheese games. Nobody else was there, and when I called out for you a door on the far side of the room opened that had Richard Nixon's (I think?) face on it, and the Nixon face told me no one was there. Also the whole dream you were just a blurry and indistinct figure.
Anonymoussincere apologies. not just a dream.

please dont chalk up anything i say to being some Hidden Truth. truth is fake and im going to hurl it into the ocean. on the other hand, feel free to assume everything i do is Wizard Nonsense
high Intelligence is knowing the path to Truth can be revealed by shattering the nine heads of the mountain
high Wisdom is knowing the ninth head was within yourself all along

replied to your chat “the boring, played-out elder scrolls lore: what’s the exact mechanical…”
I’m intrigued by this concept of a Nord paprika, tell me more
introduced to the atmorans after their first big arrivals / returns to tamriel. probably by the proto reachmen & cyrods, maybe by the snow elves when their relations were still good. the specifics aren’t certain, but what IS certain is that it became a staple of nord cuisine (especially southern nord cuisine) by the first era.
usually a strong flavour, but still relatively “sweet” as far as paprika goes. most often produced in whiterun hold & the rift, where the pepper plants grow relatively well (though the growing season is short in whiterun due to the colder weather). hotter varieties prove popular in hjaalmarch & the reach, after nord botanists manage to cultivate and introduce strains of hot pepper that grow well enough in these regions (the morthal variety is especially pungent).
sees limited production in winterhold, surprisingly, after the college’s push to establish greenhouses & sheltered gardens across the hold in the 3rd era (under the leadership of arch-mage Wulgreth Deep-Laugh).
aside from paprika, the peppers can be prepared into a similar substance that, when inhaled or vaporized as a potion with other appropriate ingredients, provides relief from headaches and migraines.
the boring, played-out elder scrolls lore: what's the exact mechanical & scientific workings of the universe. why talos is the strongest boy forever & how big his p*nis. why the cyrodiilic pantheon is somehow the Most Important Religion. the inevitability of failure and collapse and why nothing matters.
the REAL good elder scrolls lore that i do LOVE to see: the famous nord paprika. ysgramor's love of writing & his communes with daedric spirits. wherever they grow bananas in tamriel. azura's millenia-long petty streak. why alduin is basically just a snotty rich kid with divine powers. basically anything with even the slightest amount of Hope for the future because i'm tired of edgy "everythings fucked up forever" nihilism in fiction. basically everything about argonians
