Serpent Breaks (A Theory For ESO)

We’ve all heard of Dragon Breaks and I won’t go into detail about what those are. I’ve seen the idea of Serpent Breaks thrown around the BGS forums and it seemed nobody ever really dug into them and their possible relation to Dragon Breaks.

Now I started thinking about this when I was trying to rationalize the lore (or anticipated breaks in lore if they were to happen) in ESO, which will be my main example for the purpose of this theory. Now as we know Dragon Breaks allow for all kinds of crazy things to happen. I obviously started looking for a Dragon Break to reconcile any revealed or yet to be revealed lore breaks. Well I couldn't find anything until I made a connection in my head.

Now in our world (bare with me on this) it’s considered that time and space are intrinsically tied together. I postulate that the same applies to TES, but for entirely different reasons.

As we know Aka (Dragon) and Lorkhan (Serpent) are two sides of the same coin, the coin being the Godhead’s psyche. We see their duality in many things and personas. So via this dichotomy, I further postulate that if you break one, you break the other.

We see in ESO that Molag Bal is trying to merge Nirn and Coldharbour via the Dark Anchors. One space is literally prying it’s way into another. An impossible idea. But as we know, breaking time is another impossible idea. So, in essense, Molag Bal is breaking space. A Serpent Break.

So if we apply my above theory to ESO, we have an “indirect” Dragon Break via a Serpent Break. Thus allowing for multiple outcomes, millions of “heroes” doing the same quest lines and the like.

Now to take this even further, assuming all the above is on point and correct, we can apply this to the unholy “transcription error” (not that I enjoy it or even agree with it, CHIM is esoteric enough to apply this theory to it). When Tiber changed the landscape of Cyrodiil, he broke the Serpent, thus breaking the Dragon and making it so Cyrodiil was always a temperate climate. Now I don't enjoy applying this theory to this event, but I figured, for the sake of argument I would.

Kind of a pet theory I’ve been thinking about since late May and haven’t been able to file it away; so any thoughts, revisions, critiques, exclamations of how wrong I am are gladly welcome.
