Vampire quest makes sense considering the files, but may I ask for your source?

Yeah well didn't they say that space invaders from a Star Wars portal would arrive and rebuild Masser into a Death Star and try and destroy Tamriel and the Dovakhiin would have to build a Dwemer airship and fly to the moon and duel Darth Vader?

Alright, I've seen way too many topics with people who just don't understand this topic. To preface this explanation, existence is the dream of an unconscious "godhead", much like the Demon Sultan Azathoth dreams reality in the Cthulhu mythos.

In Morrowind, Vivec uses two terms to describe the cosmology of TES universe: the wheel and the tower. The wheel represents the conventional view of reality that people have. You have the Mundus, which is essentially the physical world, in the center, and then you have the bones of Akatosh forming the spokes of the wheel, which represent the Aedra, the 9 (8) divines. The spaces between spokes are the realms of the Daedra. This is how the vast majority of people in game perceive the theological framework of their world.

Vivec talks about, in his 36 sermons included in Morrowind, to steal the secret of the Tower. The tower, based on the Elhenofex symbol for CHIM (which is one of the first recorded languages in TES world and is a strange, ever shifting, and inherently dangerous language.), which appears as a tower. The tower, then, is the act of turning the wheel on its side, just as if you viewed an actual wheel from the front, it would appear much like an I.

What this symbolizes then is that existence is nothing but the interaction between two inherently contradictory concepts, in game named Anu and Padomay, or Order and Chaos, Stasis and Change, are the only forces at play in the existence in the dream-reality of TES. Everything is essentially one thing, the grey maybe, the combination of 1 (order) and it's exact opposite, chaos (-1).

Thus, the secret of the tower is that everything is the same, the dream of the godhead. You then essentially come to the realization that because you are everything, and everything is but a dream, you are actually nothing. It's called "zero-summing" and books in morrowind had examples of the blind monks having this happen to them in the in game literature. Essentially, you take the fact that you both exist (1) and don't exist (-1) and you 'wake up' and disappear from the dream that is reality (1-1=0), and as a result you are erased from reality.

CHIM, then, is the act of realizing this, but instead of losing your belief that you shouldn't exist, you look logic in the face, yell "I DO EXIST", and because of that, you become essentially a lucid dreamer in reality, aware of the dream and able to manipulate reality because reality is really just a part of you. It's how Vivec maintained his divinity despite losing his connection to the heart of Lorkhan, and it's why Tiber Septim was able to turn the jungle that was once cyrodil into temperate forest.

Now, I will say that this is an obscure but WELL-ESTABLISHED and CANONICAL part of the lore. It's been confirmed by Devs multiple times, and it can be a hard concept to wrap your head around or conceptualize.
