Mage oppression and Possession: The Angels of pain

Another song dedicated to the Mage Rebellion. This Time it’s ‘‘Angels of pain’’ by Tarot. With Nightwish’s Marco Hietala.

The situation, isolation and mental abuse mages suffer in the circle.

Full moon stares at me From the ceiling (1)

Shadows are sucking At my breath

Mind mumbles In its hibernated halfworld (2) Love and life grow cold Foretold of their death (3)

Loneliness is full of echoes Distant calls You know you're lost When they're coming Out of the walls

Angels of pain You'll fight in vain They'll get inside you They'll drive you insane

Angels of pain You'll fight in vain They'll make you reach Your final breaking strain (4)

Wingbeat, heartbeat The rhythms are alike Loe one, flutter, stop And down you go (5)

The jar that holds This God created spirit Breaks if you bring Its host too low (6)

Loneliness is full of echoes Distant calls You know you're lost When they're coming Out of the walls

The sunken stare in their eyes Hollow and blind Faces with no expression (7) Always leering once behind

...

If you choose to bleed The last laugh is on you (8) Mocking you To the oblivion The angels of pain (9)

Personal Analysis under the cut

1.(seclusion with little access to (the healing/comforting beauty of nature. No windows. Can’t see the sun, moon, feel the air)

2. The general indoctrination. The mages hesitate/are threatened not to have opinions on their situation, living in a half-world and not knowing what the real world is like. This could also apply to the difficulties circle mages face in the outside world from not being taught real-life skills.

3. Mage children are taken from their homes and their loved ones and are disowned and in some cases are shunned by the ones that loved them. They are not allowed to (re)build familial and romantic ties. They grow up being taught that they cannot have lovers, get married, have children.

1 and 3. Could be the Mage children adjusting to the circle’s reality.

4. Isolation and possession. Demons are the Angels of pain and the mages reach their final breaking strain and become Abominations. Or they are broken, go insane first and allow themselves to be possessed by demons.

5. Wingbeat = freedom,   heartbeat = life

6. Mages having their minds and spirits broken from the mental abuse they suffer and are constantly brought down.

7. (Fear of) Tranquility/Templars

8. Resorting to blood magic or being killed for fighting back.

9. Pacts with demons

The last laugh is on you, Mocking you (it ends badly, used further against their plight) To the oblivion (are forgotten as humans, die broken, only remembered as abominations)

Guardian angel: Justice

Dedicated to Anders and Justice.

Tarot’s ‘Guardian Angel’

Guardian angel watch over me Pride leaves you walking alone to the fall of the night Guardian angel help me to see Angel be my guiding light Guardian angel help me to see Angel be my guiding light I know the meaning of shame It makes you feel so broken and torn I've seen it too many times I know the face of scorn I've been on search for truth But it's never been easy to find And it's always been so hard for me To have an open mind Sometimes you want to give away the blood of your heart Loss or gain? How to be sure you don't sacrifice yourself in vain

Is there a place I must find? A vision to make me understand? There must be a way to keep My dreams from drowning into sand Facing the walls of my inner defense Do I believe, do I break or bend? The secrets I've held from myself Are only means to an end

Should I open all the old wounds, risk the peace of my mind? There's nothing else to be learned except the truth Love must be blind... angel

The Temple of Hate: Chantry’s Circle

A song dedicated to the Circle Mages and Mage Rebellion.

Xandria’s ‘‘Temple of Hate’’ from the album Sacrificium

Every day I am facing a new way of chasing The dreams I am losing in constant defense The world keeps on turning, the beds are still burning In foolish unconsciousness and self pretense

Take it away, take it away, free me Take it from me, take it from me now! Falling astray, falling astray faster Only to see how...

Deep in the shadows it's hiding for me Down there the demon is rising Coming to carry my soul down with him Down into the temple of hate

All the ways that are leading into hell's open ceiling Are carrying names so familiar to me It's so hard to stay who I am when your knifes Rip my heart out and hit me again and again

Oh, please help me – Oh, let me be

Take it away, take it away, free me Take it from me, take it from me now! Falling astray, falling astray faster

But I will keep it under the surface of my smiling face No-one can see what's behind this mask for the world I am wearing all time so I can survive

Because...Deep in the shadows it's hiding for me Down there the demon is rising Coming to carry my soul down with him Down into the blackness of the temple of hate

It’s a lovely day in Modded Tel Mithryn and your helmetless dunmer follower is taking (s)elfies.

If he is the nerevarine, that’s (sort of) lore friendly. What with Chim and all.

‘‘ Does this armor make me look fat?’’

My Teldryn Edit. It’s an old pic. Also I think it’s the wrong facepaint. Maybe I made him fatter. Or is it the armor?

Mage oppression and Possession

The Mage Rebellion, possessions and mages resorting to blood magic are inevitable seeing How the Chantry and circle handle magic.

This is a (partially intended [ex. Meredith] ) sort of a self-fullfilling prophecy made by the Chantry/Templars.

The Chantry’s power is based on and supports fear of mages. Its main motto is ‘‘ Magic exists to serve man and never to rule over him’’ how would it survive if magic were eradicated?
