|description=The story of Green-Sap, the Tower of the Bosmer
}}</noinclude>
Here is a truth read from the bark.
The spike of {{Lore Link|Adamantine Tower|Ada-Mantia}}, and its {{Lore Link|Zero Stone}}, dictated the structure of reality in its {{Lore Link|Aurbis|Aurbic}} vicinity, defining for the {{Lore Link|Ehlnofey|Earth Bones}} their story or nature within the unfolding of the {{Lore Link|Akatosh|Dragon}}'s (timebound) Tale. The {{Lore Link|Aldmer}}i or {{Lore Link|Merethic Era|Merethic}} Elves were singular of purpose only so long as it took them to realize that other {{Lore Link|The Towers|Towers}}, with their own Stones, could tell different stories, each following rules inscribed by {{Lore Link|Variorum Architects}}. And so the {{Lore Link|Mer}} self-refracted, each to their own creation, the {{Lore Link|Chimer}} following {{Lore Link|Red-Heart}}, the {{Lore Link|Bosmer}} burgeoning {{Lore Link|Green-Sap}}, the {{Lore Link|Altmer}} erecting {{Lore Link|Crystal Tower|Crystal-Like-Law}}, et alia.
But of all the Prismatic Mer, none were more presumptuous than the {{Lore Link|Ayleids}} of the {{Lore Link|Heartlands|Heartland}}. They built their tower in open emulation of Ada-Mantia, using as Founding-Stone the great red diamond they had uncovered: {{Lore Link|Amulet of Kings|Chim-el-Adabal}}, said to be crystallized blood from the {{Lore Link|Heart of Lorkhan}} itself. (For the Heart on its arrow passed over the Heartlands, birthing one of that postnymic's quaternary meanings.)
Thus did {{Lore Link|White-Gold Tower|White-Gold}} become Tower One. As all know.
As foretold by the {{Lore Link|Cult of the Ancestor Moth|moth-eyed}}, Ayleid hubris was to bear {{Lore Link|Alessian Slave Rebellion|bitter fruit}}. With their vision on high to behold the overworlds, they failed to note the seething {{Lore Link|Nede}}lings at their feet, until the thralls rose up and took their Tower away from them. Chim-el-Adabal they took as well, but not before the arch-mage {{Lore Link|Anumaril}} fangled an eightfold {{Lore Link|Staff of Towers}}, each segment a semblance of a tower in its Dance. And then seven of these segments were borne by {{Lore Link|White-Gold Knights}} to distant Fold-Places, where they were hidden.
(This was all unknown to {{Lore Link|Pelinal Whitestrake|Pelin}}-al-{{Lore Link|Alessia|Essia}}, be certain, or there might have been a different {{Lore Link|Eight Divines}}!)
Thus White-Gold. On to Green-Sap.
The Boiche Elves were of the Earth Bones who most hearkened to {{Lore Link|Jephre}} and his greensongs. They did not build a Tower, they grew it, a great {{Lore Link|graht-oak}} whose roots sprang from a {{Lore Link|Perchance Acorn}}. And this was their Stone. And because the Acorn might perchance have been elsewhere, thus was Green-Sap manifold and several. And each could walk.
Therefore each Green-Sap was also every Green-Sap. Within each were told all the stories of the Green, with every ending true, so doors therein were not always Doors Certain. But to this the Boiche-become-Bosmer became inured, and indeed grew to relish these Doors Equivocal, for such was their nature in the schism of the prism. In this way the Bosmer learned which songs made the trees dance, and which dances they might do.
Now return we must to the eighth segment—or rather Segment One, for Anumaril had fangled it in similitude to Tower One, which itself reflected Tower Zero. When the Ayleids fled the Heartlands they went to all eight corners of the compass, and this was a chosen thing, though many corners spelled doom. But more Ayleids fled to {{Lore Link|Valenwood}} than to all other directions combined, and this, too, was chosen. Among these clans went Anumaril wearing Segment One as a femur—for how but by walking can a spoke advance its hub?
Green-Sap's Elves welcomed the Ayleids so long as the Heartlanders agreed not to dissonate the greensong. All agreed to this save Anumaril, who coughed into his hand unnoticed. He asked the Great {{Lore Link|Camoran}} to show him Green-Sap, and was brought to one that by happenstance stood then in {{Lore Link|Elden Root}}. Once within the great graht he passed through a Door Equivocal and found his desire, the Perchance Acorn. It was one of many, but for Anumaril one was enough.
Next the fanglement: Anumaril brought forth Segment One among the roots and showed it to the golden nut, and this told an ending, so that the stone became a Definite Acorn. That Elden Tree would not walk again, but Anumaril yet had further intentions for it. Using his dentition as tonal instruments, he dismantled his bones and built of them a {{Lore Link|Mundus}}-machine that mirrored {{Lore Link|Nirn}} and its planets. And when he had used all his substance in fangling this orrery, he placed the segment-sceptre within, hiding it between the Moons.
Then he waited—but what he waited for did not eventuate, and perchance he's waiting yet. For
Anumaril had hoped to convert Green-Sap into White-Gold, and thereby make the Heartlanders' realm anew. However, Anumaril did not know, and was not able to know, why his plan went awry. You see, Ayleid {{Lore Link|magic}} is about Will, and Shall, and Must—but under Green-Sap, all is Perchance.
The Ayleid fangler's plan could not succeed—and yet neither could it fail. For this is a story that has not yet found its ending.
