/tgesg/ - Weekend Elder Scrolls Lore General

Cyrod life does seem stressful to me because of long working hours and high population density.

What do you guys imagine Roscrea (uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Roscrea) is like?

Don't make it Solstheim 2.0 though

Altmer hate race mixing, and anybody marrying a Bosmer is considered morally revolting according to dialogue.

Other than that, race mixing happens although not all the time.

Do you have a job? Does working with somebody who has a vagina stop you from doing your job or getting a raise?

Solstheim 2.0

Yes, I work for the national guard, and a good reason why capable women aren't sent into the field are the men already working out there.

Is there like a preferred race? Like a type O- of races

Bretons truly are the comfiest race.

I like Imperials, but the pros and cons are their own thing. One one hand, they eat 4 meals a day, on the other hand Imperial food is garbage.

Also, they seem fairly educated, and their cities are fairly advanced and have improved hygiene , and although bureaucratic, their life is organized and seems pleasant enough.

While I can't say this entirely with confidence outside of examples, Breton men tend to go for Redguards (possibly because of hypergamy due to the war) and Dunmeri Women. Some Nords also go for Breton Women.

Also, Imperials marry outside of their race, although that might also be hypergamy.

Guess I'll be getting the ball rolling then.

Roscrea has a jagged and cliff-faced coastline, making it very difficult to get on it at all. Most of the island is covered in frostwood (like in Atmora, huge trees with trunks covered with specks of snow and ice). In the middle is a small, dormant volcano, surrounded by hot springs like in Eastmarch.

Would Morrowind still have a king when they're not part of the empire anymore?

But there are still women within the organization, that do work, have a job, and rise through the ranks?

What's a king by any other name? Call them a Jarl if you want to, but it's all the same.

Of course.

Sheogorad 2.0

Well, Skyrim's jarls aren't actually kings, they just govern a hold, and Skyrim still has a high king.

Hlaalu Helseth might get overthrown but I'm wondering if anyone would take his place or the dunmer would scrap the monarchy while they're at it.

So naturally it would occur in a place like the legion, especially considering that this is a fantasy world where Women are the same height as men, and Nordic and Orcish women have roughly the same amount of testosterone and are from cultures where the only difference between the sexes during war is which bathroom they use.

Now the Fighter's Guild is even more free form and less regimented, being the standardized mercenary company. Most assignments are done on an individual basis not only to save expenses and earn the most money per individual, but also due to the nature of their assignments. This means there's not many "joint operations" outside of a few like the FG mission in oblivion where they cleared out a goblin mine, where as that was only 4 people including the CoC and lasted less than a day.

I fear you're arguing a technicality you yourself presented instead of focusing on the original question asked.
I'm asking about beauty, not if being female will automatically get you raped in an army.

I thought you were asking how people manage to work despite being around beautiful people, something about puberty and hormones, something about racism being more than heritage, and something about people rising through ranks faster than others.

Could you rephrase the question? What is it about beauty do you specifically want to know about?

From 'The Wolf Queen': ''The lock to her brother Antiochus' secret stash of Khajiiti pornography: just two free tumblers and a pathetic poisoned quill trap easily dismantled with pressure on the counterweight.''

What does pornography look like in Elder Scrolls? Drawings?

I was asking about how races view other races in terms of beauty. According to
we got the altmer not liking anyone not a banana, and apparently dialogue about not liking bosmer, but those seem to be more about racism than preferring their own kind.
Like what does an orc think about dunmer while they're taking a carriage ride to town? Is he gonna hit on her, actively avoid looking at her face, or just indifferent?
Would he buy her a drink later, or never give them a second thought?
How would it play out if she wore purple make-up, or had her hair tied down?
If he was showing his green abs or wearing a stylish robe?

We seem to have a lot of negative or lack of views towards races, but not much seems to be said about the positive views.

Yep. He's a furfag.

I would think it's more erotica, like the lusty argonian maid.
Stories you can repeat to bar friends.

Ireland?

That would be more on an individual basis, but most of the time I'd say most people wouldn't want to think about being with an Orc.

I'd say it most likely the same as in real life, where most people care more about who the person is than whether their skin is green or not, with the exception of wanting to not "taint" bloodlines or be embarrassed about the shame.

As for how other races view each other, that's a long one.

They're more or less Liege Lords

I guess they are, whatever that might be.

Skyrim implies holds have a lot of autonomy, just like Morrowind's great houses.

What's dwemer metal before they used tonal architecture on it?
They could probably just use any metal and make it what they wanted, but you think they had a preference?
Maybe it wasn't even metal, just all the rocks from digging, in a kind of alchemy transmutation?

Only just started reading the series (can't believe I haven't done so earlier), this Antiochus guy seems like a serious sex addict.

''You know where to find me."

"At which brothel, your highness?" inquired the Spymaster.

"Today being Fredas, I'll be at the Cat and Goblin."

Reminder that Trainwiz working for Bethesda has made his mods CANON

Well when you have multiple brothels, it's not really an addiction probably just out of habit.

We can only guess as we don't actually know... but I think it's an alloy of some kind.

The only orange-colored metals we have in TES, as far as I know, are bronze and corundum.

Antiochus has great taste.
As for what that porn is like, it might be erotic texts, or Indian/Japanese style erotic paintings.

>not much seems to be said about the positive views
The various breeds of Men don't tend to have that negative views of each other. And when they do, it's usually more about politics and culture than a more racial dislike.

"Abdicate your rights to the Imperial throne voluntarily, and there is no need for me to show the Council this," Potema said, handing her brother the letter. "It is a letter with your seal on it, saying that you knew that your father was not Pelagius Septim II, but the royal steward Fondoukth. Now, before you deny writing the letter, you cannot deny the rumors, nor that the Imperial Council will believe that your father, the old fool, was quite capable of being cuckolded. Whether it's true or not, or whether the letter is a forgery or not, the scandal of it would ruin your chances of being the Emperor."

>no posts in over an hour on a friday evening
where are my n'wahs at?

Sup.

Someone ask a weird question.

Why and how do Telvanni build mushroom buildings

Well it's friday, real people have work
Could the falmer use chaurus as mounts
Are kwama warrior's shells hard enough to be used as mounts
Did the silt striders evolve from the same ancestor as the kwama, or maybe the chaurus

If Kirkbride was transported to Tamriel as the Last Dragonborn, what would he do? How would he fight? How would he handle the Civil War? what guilds would he join?

Chaurus mounts are a thing in Adam Adamowicz' concept art, but the discrepancy between his art and the actual game is dissapointing.

Who could best an Orc?

Yes
This pleases me

If his endgame is to prevent the thalmor endgame and thus save creation, the empire stands a better chance than the stormcloaks, unless the latter gets a serious deus ex machina.

I post this one often because I like it so much.

Imperial legionnaires with armor that is cooler (dragon crest) and fits in the region (furs)

Well they grow them like mushrooms, apparently using grand souls. I'm guessing that's how they control the growth. The actual act of growing is probably just unexplained knowledge, some kind of mix of blueprints and a greenthumb. Makes sense an orc was the builder.

Redguards and Bretons, which is what they're constantly doing. The orcs have had dozens of orsiniums by now.

Mushrooms are native to Morrowind, and they use their magic to form them.

Maybe he'd be a clever man, find the Green Tablet Steps of Jhunal, talk to Paarthurnax about kalpas, and go to Morrowind.

Post YFW guard armour and Stormcloak armour got the same skin due to lazyness

Yeah, but that doesn't look like "standard issue" armor, more like adapted armor.

Atleast the officers could have looked like that. Bethesda went overboard on the roman aesthetic.

The Legions tend to outsource their armor like that.

And all the Imperials use chain + leather instead of plate armour.

>unless the latter gets a serious deus ex machina
like the LDB

Nah.

There isn't really a "standard issue". It's all supplied locally.
I think it's kind of cool. I'd imagine legions might take some pride in their distinct look. Imagine a great army camp at wartime, soldiers and officers from different legions, races and provinces, all members of the Imperial Legion, yet no one quite alike.

What do you guys think people do for leisure throughout Tamriel?
Do you think there's surfing off the coast of Vvardenfell? That there's snowball fights in the cold mountains of Skyrim? That chess masters compete in the Imperial City?

Imagine a campfire after a day at tthe beach...

Waves beyond measure, Outlander.

Take a seat, muthsera.

Morrowind has doppler effect!? Holy shit, I just fell past some cricket noise and clearly noticed it.

The Agent might be most known for having shattered time and caused the Miracle of Peace, but he was also an avid surfer.

Also Daggerfall Unity is getting integrated mod support in 0.3.
The future is bright.

Is there a Nirn equivalent of chess?

...

Gnarly.
youtube.com/watch?v=ckwlr3r0290

Yep. I forget what it is.

Might just be actual chess.

D'you think nords have pro wrestling?

Come to think of it, that sounds like something that Nords would have - all the theatrics are pretty in line with heroic poetry and such. All that's necessary is for the wrestling to be real wrestling and it seems perfectly Nordic!

The hard question is, what do all the people in the southern and the western provinces do for fun?
There were chess tables in Daggerfall.

Were the daedra and aedra always about random abstract concepts even before the appearance of mortals

Or is Sheogorath insane simply because the mortals think he is

I'v been thinking about running a High Rock game as well. I haven't read too much about about bretons yet but I have some basic ideas for setting stuff.
For commoners.
Since full out magic isn't super common I'd think most normal bretons would be all about alchemy and enchanting.
>They follow the principle of "work smart not hard" which can make them seem lazy to outsiders
>Every family has a small library of books and notes containing special recipes and techniques which they guard jealously
>Every farmer has some their own secret technique for prepping the soil or some incredible special elixir their wife makes for them
>They love to boast about how clever their tricks are and how little easy it makes their job
>Smiths prefer to learn enchantments over actually improving their smithing. However they always inscribe their work with the family name as both a boast of their skill and promise of quality
>Bretons may be averse to the practical work but they take responsibility for the results. After all you can't reap the pleasure of pride without the risk of shame.

>Aside from the mystical arts bretons love art
>Every household has banner that changes with almost every generation
>Every village, no matter how small has intricately painted or craved houses
>Inks and coloured fabric are very valuable
>Many youths liberally abuse their access to ink and education by spread graffiti across buildings, trees and animals

>Bretons love to put their natural speechcraft skill to use. They argue about everything.
>For many bretons village council meetings are a blast.
>For village elders, the meetings are hell. They can't do anything without extensive questions and debate. Usually some one brings in wine or some exotic weed they bought off a trader and the whole thing falls to chaos.
>Chaos is usually an intoxicated, naked man wrestling pig while trying to explain how it represents the their Lord's struggle with Imperial tariffs.

How does that fit?

I like it. I also expect bretons to keep pretty gardens.

Does Numidium only have it in for Mundus or does it wish to break Aurbis in its entirety?

So what can be a spooky scary skelly
Is there a guar skelly

Does the Numidium actually want to do anything?

Yes.

MAYBE.

NO

I will make all of C0DA canon, especially the TV show portion

I wonder what would imperials do if they got their hands on two(!) elder scrolls? in skyrim you can give 2 to the moth priest, just how much can be done with them anyway?

>Antiochus
fuuuug

They had a whole library of them.

...

Well, I'm fairly sure the Dragonborn gets three or four of them just willy-nilly.

No doubt the Empire has more of them.

They probably have a bunch in the library of the imperial palace

name this band

Actually by Skyrim's time they had all disappeared.

Is it ever stated how many there are? You'd think such powerful artifacts would be incredibly rare.

why

>thatsnothowthisworksthatsnothowanyofthisworks.jpg

As many and as few as there needs to be

>mimics a baby crying as a lure
who the hell wouldnt be creeped out by a crying baby? its not like you hear that kinda sound in some falmer infested shithole and think
>hey a baby!

That's not quite how it works. It's not about how many there are, for such a thing cannot be known.
