>General Rules
This is NOT /tesg/ minus waifus, so behave properly.
No waifus or husbandos except for the bright and terrible angel of Veloth in his pre-chimerical form, demonic VEHK, gaunt and pale and beautiful, skin stretched painfully thin on bird's bones, feathered serpents encircling his arms.
Keep the MK/Lady N related squabbling to a minimum.

First for Cyrodiil best province

Is the godhead canon

The Godhead is ANU. ANU is love.


Shittiest lore ever made btw.

4th for TLB becomes Emperor

I find the idea of a Godhead so lazy. It's basically, 'gods made everything', and then you ask 'but what made the gods?' and then you say 'everything's a dream'. It's a question best left unanswered.

You mean TLD. I also often mistype it as TLB because you're thinking of dragonBorn

Using 'The Hist' as a cop-out for being lazy is something Zenimax does, not us. Cyrodiil's heartland is sub-tropical and Black Marsh will have varied architecture. Now give me ideas for something that'd not mud huts.

Is it just me or are Cyrodiil's southern and southeastern borders completely arbitrary? The rest of its borders are mountains or seas. Skyrim's borders make a lot of sense cause it's completely surrounded by mountains.

I feel silly asking this, but how exactly does Numidium "work"? Is it basically just a giant focusing lens for Lorkhanic/Padomaic force as provided by the Heart or a Shezzarine? Hell, I feel like even the way I've phrased that question probably betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of it.

Eh, kind of. More or less like RL borders. Reaching down the Niben is understandable though. If the Empire would have a claim on that land, they would definitely press it hard so they're not penned in. Not only that, but their borders are not too different from the ancient Aylied city states. Would imagine that the Alessian Empire conquered it from the Aylieds, and have kept it since, resisting beastman invasion.

Mud huts are the most realistic, too. There's a reason you don't see grand temples in the Everglades and such. They sink. Wood rots, stone sinks, metal is way too expensive.

But if you insist, use ruined Dunmer infrastructure in the northern part, Imperial architecture in Gideon, and half-sunken Aylied ruins poking up in the swamp. Those, and some mayan-esque temple structures. Maybe put down hollowed out trees or something. Black Marsh isn't really known for its' civillization. Indeed, all we know about it is that it's packed full of mud huts, flies that feed on any bare flesh, and shit. But take my advice, and keep it to 8 villages through the entire province. Black Marsh can't into civillization.
