:“For the End does not wait and comes for all, without hesitation. The provinces are collapsing, the Towers are falling, and even the gods die at Landfall. The enantiomorph will grow to no longer care for the Tower, and with that somehow strange and depressing thought, the Dream will shatter. It is avoidable, yes; perhaps it has already been avoided. But this is the true End of All Things, whether you accept it or not.
:But out of all of this misery, darkness, and destruction, something sets the Prisoner apart. For in this universe that exists an uncaring godhead, where the Tower that holds the secret to reality is built from the blood that shapes the mythic, where betrayal is a necessity and founds dynasties, where a Shadow seeks usurpation and a Destroyer seeks destruction, and the machinations of a recurring triad causes the suffering of the world, the Prisoner is the sole resident that chose to do the unthinkable:
:They stepped out from inside the Tower, shrugged their shoulders at reality, and never looked back." - Epilogue, from The Godhead with a Thousand Faces

'''''Anuvanna'si: The Hero, the Prisoner, and the Godhead with a Thousand Faces'' is a one-hundred and seventeen page essay written by IceFireWarden that goes rather in depth in its scrutinizing of the lore of the Elder Scrolls franchise and the common themes, deep philosophical connections, and abundant metaphorical theses sprinkled throughout since the Eternal Champion awakened in their cell in Arena. The original version of it (''Anuvanna'si: Heroes, Prisoners, and the Godhead with a Thousand Faces'') was released in the year 2017 and had one-hundred & fifty-four pages, before the newly revised and improved version was officially released three years later in the year 2020.

Anuvanna'si gets it name from a phrase utilized in the Truth in Sequence, and alongside Musings Upon the Amaranthine Thought, went on to be a major background influence for the current rewrite of the Uutak Mythos project. Although it is nowhere near the absolute truth of the matter, nor a definite guide that explains the more metaphysical aspects of the lore fully, this essay does try to make strong connections and attempts to elaborate on the uniqueness of the Prisoner Concept, the strangeness of CHIM, the subtle messages in C0DA, and the existence of the Elder Scrolls themselves. But like any other information found both within and outside of the games, the lore is how you make it, and you can choose to ignore the concepts presented in Anuvanna'si in favor of your own or use the essay as a stepping point to the realization of greater truths and foundations.

The essay has been posted before in most Elder Scrolls forums, and on July, 11, 2020, IceFireWarden posted a link to the rewrite on Twitter that caught the attention of Loremaster Leamon Tuttle of Elder Scrolls Online, who had read the original and referred to it as "great stuff".
