--- Quote ---CHIM actually refers to the process of gaining godhood by becoming aware that you are the product of a contradiction/dream of the Godhead (very similar to the Lovecraftian idea of reality being the dream of Azathoth) without "zero-summing". Essentially, Anu and Padomay represent stasis and change, and this contradictory duality is the basis upon which the Elder Scrolls cosmos is based. CHIM is essentially saying that you are, but also you are not, because you are a dream, and not 'zero-summing' or disappearing into the fabric of the godhead, but rather maintaining your individuality and becoming a God. Vivec and Talos are two that have 'unofficially' become enlightened in Chim, and the 36 Sermons of Vivec is postulated to have been a guide to the player on how to achieve CHIM. Some (http://fallingawkwardly.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/the-metaphysics-of-morrowind-part-1/) believe that this is a twisting of the forth wall to accommodate the player using mods, the inventory screen (Sleep holes that Vivec mentions in his Sermons), or cheats. When Mankar Camoran refers to the process (which I've seen referred to as the Psijic Endeavor) in Vol. 3 of the commentaries. "CHIM. Those who know it can remake the land. Witness the Red-King once jungled." This refers to Cyrodil, which in earlier games was described as a jungle, but was changed (if you subscribe to ex-Developer Michael Kirkbride's lore creations on the old Elder Scrolls forums as canon) by Talos. You can find the other document "From the Many-Headed Talos" on the Imperial Library site. CHIM is a weird thing to understand. It involves the references of the Tower in Vivec's sermons. Most of the synopsis can be found on the site I linked. A lot of it is personal interpretation, but the fact is that the line I quoted from Vol. 3 of Mankar's commentaries proves, I think, that CHIM is canon and it is this process that is being referred to. I'm not a regular poster by any means so I'll leave this in discussion.

I married Brelyna Maryon, the dunmer mage from College of Winterhold. Not only is she hot and has a lovey voice but she's actually useful in combat. She uses both fire bolts and a bow plus her Flame Atronach summon is most useful as a distraction. Then some fiddling to make her essential and ignore friendly fire. Perfect.
