Lore talk:Galerion the Mystic

Skyrim changes

The Skyrim version has several changes: two occurrences of "Summurset" are changed to "Summerset", "Artium" is changed to "Artaeum", and they broke up a long sentence in the third paragraph. So, how exactly do we handle this in terms of the lore page? Do we transfer the current text to its applicable namespaces and change the lore page to match the Skyrim version, change the lore page and accept the retcon of the other namespace articles, or simply leave both this and the Skyrim version as is?

Possibly add a note under the main page? I'm not sure if it's intentional considering there were 200 years between story lines and maybe they accounted for publisher error, and if so, are there any other texts with differences in location names?

Oh, trust me, their changes are as numerous as they are arbitrary. I've already seen examples where they fixed some mistake in an article that we hadn't even bothered to notice, and at the same time ignored other glaring mistakes in the same article. Minor Edits 05:08, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Then I suppose just waiting until the locations listed become lore and then addressing them in that context? Xthatfrenchguyx 05:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Daggerfall Version?

Can someone tell me what the article looks like in the Daggerfall game data? I'm assuming that, up until now, the lore page has been displaying the Daggerfall version, since the Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim versions all have identical differences (besides letter pic differences). To summarize, in the third paragraph, the spelling of "Sumurset" was different, there was a run-on sentence instead of starting a new one at "They nursed him ...", and there was no comma after "a soothsayer name Heliand". The fourth paragraph again used "Sumurset", and "Artaeum" was spelled "Artium". Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 18:11, 21 October 2012 (GMT)

Extracting the strings from the book file and replacing leading spaces by a paragrah, it is this:

Galerion the Mystic

Asgrim Kolsgreg Galerion The Mystic

During the early bloody years of the Second Era, Vanus Galerion was born under the name Trechtus, a serf on the estate of a minor nobleman, Lord Gyrnasse of Sollicich-on-Ker. Trechtus' father and mother were common laborers, but his father had secretly, against the law of Lord Gyrnasse, taught himself and then Trechtus to read. Lord Gyrnasse had been advised that literate serfs were an abomination of nature and dangerous to themselves and their lords, and had closed all bookstalls within Sollicich-on-Ker. All booksellers, poets, and teachers were forbidden, except within Gyrnasse's keep. Nevertheless, a small scale smuggling operation kept a number of books and scrolls in circulation right under Gyrnasse's shadow.

When Trechtus was eight, the smugglers were found and imprisoned. Some said that Trechtus's mother, an ignorant and religious woman fearful of her husband, was the betrayer of the smugglers, but there were other rumors as well. The trial of the smugglers was nonexistant, and the punishment swift. The body of Trechtus' father was kept hanging for weeks during the hottest summer Sollicich-on-Ker had seen in centuries.

Three months later, Trechtus ran away from Lord Gyrnasse's estate. He made it as far as Alinor, half-way across Sumurset Isle. A band of troubadours found him nearly dead, curled up in a ditch by the side of the road, nursed him to health, and employed him as an errand boy in return for food and shelter. One of the troubadours, a soothsayer named Heliand began testing Trechtus' mind and found the boy, though shy, to be preternaturally intelligent and sophisticated given his circumstances. Heliand recognized in the boy a commonality, for Heliand had been trained on the Isle of Artaeum as a mystic.

When the troupe was performing in the village of Potansa on the far eastern end of Sumurset, Heliand took Trechtus, then a boy of eleven, to the Isle of Artaeum. The Magister of the Isle, Iachesis, recognized potential in Trechtus and took him on as pupil, giving him the name of Vanus Galarion. Vanus trained his mind on the Isle of Artium, as well as his body.

Thus was the first Archmagister of the Mages Guild trained. From the Psijics of the Isle of Artaeum, he received his training. From his childhood of want and injustice, he

received his philosophy of sharing knowledge.
