Gods The gods of Tamriel are as varied as the many cultures' traditions of worship. Individual gods (used as a general term to indicate any entity worshipped by one of Tamriel's cultures) are listed alphabetically on each of the sub-articles listed above. This article provides some general information about relationships between the different gods. Types of Gods Generally, there are several distinct groups into which the various gods fall: Many versions of Anu and Padomay, the two primal forces. Cultural Worship In Tamriel, cultural pantheons of certain provinces have different gods that they worship, though some gods are worshipped in several areas. Pantheons This table contains all names of beings worshipped by the nine major races in Tamriel. Little is known about the culture of Black Marsh, and therefore no gods are listed from that region. Finally, Orsimer gods are not listed as they don't have a specific province, but instead a kingdom in the High Rock - Orsinium. Notes See Also

10 More Common Faults in Human Thought Humans This list is a follow up to Top 10 Common Faults in Human Thought. Thanks for everyone’s comments and feedback; you have inspired this second list! It is amazing that with all these biases, people are able to actually have a rational thought every now and then. There is no end to the mistakes we make when we process information, so here are 10 more common errors to be aware of. The confirmation bias is the tendency to look for or interpret information in a way that confirms beliefs. The Availability heuristic is gauging what is more likely based on vivid memories. Illusion of Control is the tendency for individuals to believe they can control or at least influence outcomes that they clearly have no influence on. Interesting Fact: when playing craps in a casino, people will throw the dice hard when they need a high number and soft when they need a low number. The Planning fallacy is the tendency to underestimate the time needed to complete tasks. Bonus Attribute Substitution

Diskordianismus Die folgenden Angaben zu Jahren, Personen, Gruppierungen sind in der Regel frei erfunden, da sie den Veröffentlichungen von Robert Anton Wilson und anderer entnommen sind, insbesondere dem Buch Illuminatus und der schließlich eigenständig erschienenen Principia Discordia. Organisation und Geschichte[Bearbeiten] Generell sind Diskordier (bzw. Diskordianer) gegen Autoritäten, gegen Zwang und gegen Traditionen. So ernannte Robert Anton Wilson alle Zuhörer seiner Vorträge zu Diskordianischen Päpsten. Es gibt keine zentrale Organisation, sondern mehrere kleinere. In Illuminatus! Philosophie[Bearbeiten] Diskordier bestreiten objektive Wahrheiten, sie (zumindest die meisten von ihnen) sind der Ansicht, dass alles subjektiv auslegbar sei. Ein weiterer Punkt ist die Unterteilung von Unordnung und Ordnung in einen kreativen und einen destruktiven Part. Laut dem Cabal POEE, ist Ordnung und Chaos destruktiv wie kreativ, aber ein kreativer Trip ist rein kreativ und somit zu bevorzugen.

272 Calendar [edit] Months of the Year The Tamrielic calendar is composed of twelve distinct months, each approximately thirty days in length. Each month corresponds roughly to an equal period of time in the Gregorian calendar. The months - and their real-life equivalents - are measured as follows: * These three months are variously referred to as one word or two words. § Hearthfire is occasionally referred to as Heartfire, the name given to said month in TES:Arena. [edit] Days of the Week A week in the Tamrielic calendar is also, as with the real-life equivalent, measured in seven days. The names of the days Tirdas, Turdas, Fredas and Loredas may be derived from the Norwegian, Danish or Swedish names for days of the week: Tirsdag/Tisdag, Torsdag, Fredag and Lørdag/Lördag, (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday). [edit] Arena Calendar This calendar was included with Arena. [edit] Daggerfall Calendar [edit] Skyrim Calendar Unlike in Arena and in Daggerfall, no holidays were specifically given.

The Robert Anton Wilson Website Principia Discordia Die Principia Discordia ist eine Sammlung von satirischen religiösen Texten und Illustrationen, die vor allem durch die Romantrilogie Illuminatus! von Robert Anton Wilson und Robert Shea bekannt wurde. Der Verfasser beschreibt unter dem Pseudonym Malaclypse der Jüngere in zahlreichen Anekdoten, passend zum Untertitel des Werks Wie ich die Göttin fand und was ich mit ihr tat, als ich sie gefunden hatte die Entstehungsgeschichte der diskordischen Gesellschaft, ihre mythologischen und philosophischen Grundlagen sowie ihre Organisationsstruktur. Dabei werden bekannte Religionen und religiöse Denkmuster parodiert und ad absurdum geführt, um, so Wilson, „Guerilla-Ontologie“ zu betreiben.[1] Die Principia Discordia kann als „Bibel des Diskordianismus“ bezeichnet werden.

Collapsing Bulkheads: the Covers of Crash by Rick Poynor ‘Missing the point’: (detail, Livre de Poche edition, 1973; design: Atelier Pascal Vercken). NOTE: This is an edited version of an essay published in Designing Pornotopia: Travels in Visual Culture by Rick Poynor, Laurence King Publishing, 2006. J. Yet Crash, described by Ballard himself as a ‘psychopathic hymn’, did find a following. I read the hardback first edition of Crash as a teenager, soon after it came out. LEFT: Crash’s first jacket, designed by Bill Botton (Jonathan Cape, 1973).RIGHT: Chris Foss’s interpretation (Panther, 1975). The first jacket, published by Jonathan Cape in 1973, shows a jutting gear stick, presumably intended to be phallic, in front of a towering three-dimensional titlepiece that occupies most of the cover. (1972), treats the image as an opportunity for lurid, pulp-style exploitation. LEFT: Fashionable flirtations (illustration: James Marsh; Triad, 1985).RIGHT: ‘Too lipsticky; too neat’. Rick Poynor
