    Mages Guild Symbol in The Elder Scrolls

    Hi I have started playing this game and just need to know what is the mages guild symbol in it.But to the Crux of the matter, does the mages guild symbol, symbolize the Aurbis, the Universe? The eye in the center seems to represent magnus, the et'ada who left magicka in nirn, so the Guilds appreciation of his unwilling sacrifice is obvious. The Eye is within a Sun, the Sun being Magnus, again. And the 'rays' of the sun are numbered at eight, the original number of divines. And toward the outer rim of the circle are, surprise, surprise, Sixteen half-diamonds, and coincidently there are Sixteen Daedra Princes

    Creating a logo in the form of a power symbol would grant the logo some miserable and faulted power, and could have subtle influences outside the mage's guild as well, especially as the symbol gets proliferated and associated with magic and its practice. It simply being burned into the minds of imperial citizens as the emblem of the imperial mage's guild would give it a power of its own in the mythic sense. This could be seen as a kind of second order simulacra.

    One could argue that the Warp In The West changed the world, not just the Iliac Bay, since the Underking part of Talos' release in TES II allowed Talos to become the ninth Divine by TES III plus all of a sudden there is a new race - the sons of Talos known as the Imperials.Considering that we are discussing the Mages Guild symbol, its relation to the Aurbis and spoke-letters referring to a school of Magic, is it any wonder that Talos' ascension which would meddle and fortify the Great Wheel would not also consolidate and meddle with the Magical Schools .

    While I do agree that consorting with ililicit spectra is the reason for Meridia's alignment shift, I do not, at the time, accept that it was strictly due to her association with Lorkhan, for all of what we now call the Divines would be guilty of doing the same, and their alignments didn't shift. Additionally, Magnus and Lorkhan were partners in Mundus-building prior to Magnus abandoning the project. Now the question become if Meridia WERE shifted due to association with Lorkahn.

    It's possible that she screws with what Magnus gives to creation by splitting White Light, into the spectrums of color allowing for diversity and life, which she has been associated with since Daggerfall. By doing this, it's possible that this is when Magnus realizes what is happening and punishes Meridia for messing around with Lorkhan and becoming Padomaic and then sends her sorry Merdian butt to Oblivion, and then escapes back to Aetherius.

    Additionally, and alternatively, the Fighters Guild in the Aibibon-Gora region of Hammerfell is called. The Fighter Trainers" even though it operates under the same Second Era Guild Act enacted by Potentate Versidu-Shai. Logically, one could consider a situation where some of the Mages Guilds in the Iliac might also have some unique teachings, such as a unique nomenclature for spell effects, even going so far as to call them wholly separate Schools.
