”This is alike it!”
Theup and down about Jull's shot until he cale
”Thank you for your trip all the way here, we rarely get traders and are ever grateful for your visit” The Chieftain of the Skaal welcoht My men here will oversee the transactions and will take more requests to make further trades”
”To be honest, we heard about the new traders arriving at Raven Rock and were about to send a s but that is really a pleasant surprise, reon Group?”
”Indeed We are allies to the Sky Fire trading group and I ae a secret”
”Oh, I understand I understand The ely when they deal with the Clans”
”It is true”
The Sky Fire Co front and has a very well known naht ae proved to be related to the all the way here? Youfor” The one who asked us was Storn Crag-Strider, the Shaman of the Skaal
”It is indeed true, we are after the Stalhrim in the mountains up north and wish to buy some from the Skaal, we heard that by the Laws of Solstheiht to ht away
I didn't intend to hide it froe! The mainlanders were never interested in the Stalhrio? Is there any events on the mainland that requires it now?” Chieftain Fanari wondered
What a sly question! Are they trying to bargain for the price?
”Not really, I was just looking for then the Frost Enchantments and my research led me to the Stalhrim, I heard that it is as hard as Ebony and as beautiful as Glass Now that's so I would love to see” I replied
”It is indeed beautiful and sturdy If that is what you want then ill provide you hat you need Still, it will take us three weeks to cover an equal aht”
”I don't mind, I have around the same time to stay in Solsthei the land andthe oddities of it What piqued my interest the most is the famed Stones of the All-Maker, I really would love to visit the?”
”You wish to get a blessing? That's odd for an outlander! You believe in the All-Maker?” The Sha of the All-Maker and recognize the power he gives the land”
The All-Maker is aof Creation The All-Maker could be a deity from the Atmorans or branched from the animal deities of the Atmorans that the Firemanes still consider sacred Either way, they share similarities with each other and derive from the ancient Nords, reverence for the All-Maker is now nearly extinct except in the Skaal village which preserved the ancient beliefs throughout the ages, and h their eyes
All life flows froreat river, and, in time, this river flows back to its source The spirits of dead creatures return to the All-Maker, who shapes new life and returns it to Mundus Death, then, is sie of this endless journey However, each life is a gift given in the great wisdom of the All-Maker, thus each one is very precious and sacred Even the snow is viewed as a blessing for the shelter it can offer and for allowing hunters to track prey
The All-Maker favors those who hone their skills, and disfavors the greedy and lazy The six All-Maker Stones of Solstheim are viewed as representations of the six aspects of nature, the six great gifts of the All-Maker—flora, fauna, the sun, the earth, water, and wind The stones are believed to be conduits by which the All-Maker's power flows into the world
In opposition to the All-Maker is the 'Adversary', an equally enig force which works to corrupt the dominion of the All-Maker The Skaal believe the Adversary takes delight in tor them
I said it once before that I know more about the All-Maker that what the Skaal may tell
The 'All-Maker' is another aspect of 'Anu' and the 'Adversary' is clearly 'Padomay'
From the Myth Creation of Lorkhan and Auriel, it was mentioned that Auriel was created by Anu-el which is the spirit of Anu, or Anu the Everything, which is thought to be the quintessential form of Stasis, the anthropomorphization of one of the two primal forces The other is Padomay, also called the Darkness, which is the quintessential fore, the one whose spirit is Sithis that created Lorkhan
If one looked closely at the Six Blessings that can be granted by the All-Maker, one can find the characteristics of the other Aedra that got created after Auriel

”If one wants to acquire a perriave ? Is that possible?” I asked
”It is, do you know the difference between a Blessing and an Agent?”
”Yes, Blessings are her and a better form that is considered a sort of a Divine Protection”
