In the legend of the ancient Tamriel continent, Sognard is the afterlife paradise (realm) of the Nords in the immortal world of light Yathriu, a Nord warrior who proved himself in battle. After death, you will come to Sungard. Legend has it that when a Nordic spirit enters the Hall of Courage, all physical pain and disease will disappear. The warriors drank and ate meat and competed in boxing matches. However, only warriors from Nord and Atmora (ancestor Nord) are eligible to come here. Warriors from other races on the continent have other places to go.
And only those with pure Nord faith can enter Sognard.
It has also been proven that when a Nordic werewolf unfortunately infected with lycanthropy dies, Hircine will bring him into the Great Hunt and prevent him from entering Sognard. Nord vampires who are also infected with bloodsucking will also have their souls dragged into the cold harbor of the demon Molag Bal when they die. Of course there are some exceptions to the contrary. Another example is that warriors of different races can eventually enter the Hall of Courage by passing trials that prove Nord faith.
The legend of Sognard has been spread since ancient times, and many scholars have tried to study it and find ways to enter. But more people finally got their wish through heroic death.
According to records, an adventurer named Rolf the Large spent his life trying to find a way to enter Sognard, but failed. As a result, after he returned to Skyrim and died heroically in a battle with the giants, he actually went to Sognard. He wrote a letter inside, through a medium named Felga Four-Fingers. The letter described in detail Sognard, a paradise for Nords who ate wine and meat. This letter was discovered at the medium's residence in Cyrodiil and recorded by a scholar in Sovngarde, a Reexamination by Bereditte Jastal:
"Death. This is something that each of us will face. But, is it really like this?
Just ask the nearest Nord people about their views on death, and you are likely to hear a tragic "horrifying story that praises courage accompanied by scenes of flesh and blood." There may be more to death than the average Nord warrior realizes. The latest evidence suggests that brave Nord warriors can live forever in the form of (heroic spirits) at the peak of their strength and skill after death in battle. But in order to fully understand the eternal life of the Nords after death, we must first review the legends surrounding Sognard, the legendary place where warriors returned.
According to the ancient records of the Nords and the stories passed down orally from generation to generation, at the end of the Elf Era a long time ago, there was a very luxurious and sacred place. However, its entrance is well hidden. That was the city called Sognard, which was built by the god Shur to honor the Nords who had proven their courage in war. Time has become meaningless in this Songadri. The concepts of life and death are left at the door. There is only the pleasure of self-sufficiency in the temple. There is no pain, no torture, and there is no boring life that Nords can't stand the most.
However, the topic of 'how hidden the entrance to Sognard is' has been debated academically for a long time, and some people think that the temple built by Shull is nothing more than a legend, because no one has experienced it until now.' It's a wonder that the Nords of Songard can come back and tell the tale. However, this did not stop people from searching. Some Nords spend their entire lives finding the entrance to Sognard. Most of them return without success, with a heavy sense of failure in their hearts. They'll never know the pleasure of a mead flagon that never empties, or a wrestling tournament without end .).
Some may ask, is the entrance to Sognard associated with death? All the answers were revealed in a pile of ancient parchments in the attic of a vanished Nord family in Cyrodiil. The parchments, initially thought to be love letters, later turned out to be correspondence between a medium named Filgar Fourfinger and the ghost of a Nord warrior named Rolf.
According to the parchment, Rolf spent his entire life trying to find the entrance to Sognard without success. On his way back to his village in Skyrim, he was robbed by a group of giants. Rolf fought bravely, but he was quickly killed, and then the giants actually started playing with his head. Surprisingly, these scenes were seen by Rolf, who was slowly ascending to the sky in the form of a ghost. He floated higher and higher into heaven, and when he finally arrived, he found that... he was already loose In the luxurious hall of Garde!
Rolf couldn't believe his good luck, and he blamed himself for his stupidity all those years ago. It turns out that death is the entrance to Sognard. The god Shur warmly welcomed the big man Rolf like a brother, and personally gave him a (spicy) roast leg of lamb and a beautiful girl (Sir? Look at this!). The god Shur told him that the gates of Sognard were open to all the Nords who had died heroically in glorious battle.
It's time for all Nords to know the truth. Eternal life is their (destination), which does not require them to spend a lifetime of limited life pursuing eternal life that can never be reached at this stage of their lives. In the end, all brave Nord warriors will be able to enter Sognard. Being dismembered, beheaded or eviscerated on the battlefield seems to be a small price to pay to enter and enjoy eternal life in the temple built by the god Shur. "
Just like the heroine Lyris Titanspawn, one of the Five Heroes, described Songard. All Nords who die with their swords eventually reach the Hall of Courage. Because of mental shaping, the way to enter and the scenes seen along the way have personalized differences in details. However, there is no denying that Songard does exist.
So where is the paradise of the Nords? Is it the immortal light realm "Yaseliu" generally believed by mainland scholars?
If this Nordic paradise shaped by Shure is really located in the immortal light realm, then where is this immortal light realm?
Just like a metaphor of the lord that is only circulated in the gray stone castle: all the towers in Nirn are like "little matchsticks" holding up the eyelids of the god's head, making the god's head "half asleep and half awake". You can't completely droop your eyelids and fall into a dreamless sleep; you can't wake up completely and erase your dreams. Now the small wooden sticks supporting the eyelids collapsed one after another, so either the God's Head closed his eyes completely, or the God's Head felt the darkness and opened them on its own. Whether we are sleeping or waking up, for us in this world, it is the ultimate destruction, and there will be no future life.
Regarding this metaphor of the lord, the meaning that Mrs. Gisei Siying can understand is: all the seven towers supporting the present world collapsed, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, and the dream of the Godhead was completely ended. The master of the dream, the "Head of God", is either in eternal sleep or completely awake. All Nien in this world will be erased from the memory of God's Head.
So after the collapse of the Seven Towers, the Head of God may be completely awake or completely asleep, so two ways to deal with it naturally arise.
The first is to continue the dream of the Godhead.
Second, become a 'remembered dream'.
