Volume Two
¹By the word, I wind the gears.
he will of Sotha Sil is the chrononymic will. The Nameless Will. For what is “Name?”
³The Divine Metronome tells us that “Name” is the wedge that pries gear from pinion.
⁴The residue of Lorkhan’s Great Lie that loosens the wheel chain and corrodes the frame.
⁵The et’Ada Gears named each and each, in their way.
⁶Our lessers see this as a kindness, but the Mainspring Ever-Wound calls it a curse, rooted in selfish pride.
⁷To name is to cleave one from another.
⁸It is the death of Anuic convergence and the Nirn-Ensuing—the misassembled dragon that breathes dry falsehood and whose name is “Multitude.”
⁹There is only one name that is not Name. Seht, the convergent Clockwork God, whose will pumps like a piston into both “then” and “after.” ¹⁰Sotha Sil, Father of Mystery, whose heart drives the Wheels Eternal and whose blood oils the All-Axle. ¹¹SI, the Divine Engine, whose mind merges “they” and “we” and births the Nirn-Ensuing. ¹²Lesser wills are wisps of smoke, born and lost in a sea of endless sky. Lost children whose freedom is death.
¹³For what is freedom, child of the Tribunal? The counter-lever to slavery? No. ¹⁴Have you not heard the words in sequence? The chrononymic will is the pendulum that swings only once. ¹⁵It cannot do otherwise. To swing twice would break one intention from another and prove the blasphemy of two. ¹⁶As Padomay is illusion, so too is the named will. ¹⁷For what is “choice” if not chaos? What is “free will” if not the lack of order, vulgar and triumphant? ¹⁸The true wheels spin clockwise, ever clockwise. In the unity of Nirn-Ensuing, each belongs to all, and all belong to none—save Tamriel Final. Anuvanna’si. ¹⁹So lay down your cheap burdens, child. “Shall I do thus?” Such “choice” is delusion. ²⁰Give yourself to the pursuit of unity, for in the end, you cannot do otherwise.
