/tgesg/ - Weekend Elder Scrolls General

Like really big cats.

>we're doing a new edition
That's fucking great, I'm looking forwards to see what you guys come up with.

Will you be updating the supplements as well, and are there any new ones planned?

>explain meridia
Her dad caught her hanging with the wrong crew and threw her out.

>Will you be updating the supplements as well, and are there any new ones planned?
I think it is mentioned on r/UESRPG that they will be polishing them.

Exactly how is Zenithar a warrior god? He's lel happy merchant god, nothing about him involves battle.

He's a labor God, and soldier is also a job.

Because he's a combination of multiple agricultural and war deities.

>He's lel happy merchant god
How incredibly Cyrodiilic of you to think that.

Zenithar is above all the God of Work, Toil and Labour, a god of soldiers more than a god of warriors. Seeing him as having to do with the merchant class is more of a regional thing, he's just as much an agricultural god.

Killin' is work

I hate elves.

Pelinal please go

Soldiers do more than kill, they also build shit.

Trenches, bridges, and the like.

Talking about Ysgramor the Dragon last thread get, we touched on the whole theme of "doing is being" that's somewhat of a metaphysical truth in TES.

While on a different level, this combination of believing, being and doing is something that's pretty prominent in Khajiiti religion and culture..

The interplay between Fadomai and Azurah in traditional Khajiiti faith is echoed in the relationship between Clan Mother and Favoured Daughter, with religious secrecy to mirror their stories of the divine.

Baan Dar is a god, but he's also a concept/symbol, as well as being a way of life. One can believe in Baan Dar, one can believe in what Baan Dar represents, and if one does like Baan Dar, one can "be" Baan Dar.

Riddle'Thar is a god in one sense, and his avatars can walk Tamriel, but he's also a concept of cosmic order, which in practice is really a set of guidelines about how to live. Believing in Riddle'Thar is in a sense the same as acting according to Riddle'Thar, or even "being" Riddle'Thar.

The ja-Kha'jay is a religious concept, but it also decides your appearance, and it has been the basis for a system of governance, the phases of the moons deciding which parts/regions of Khajiiti society are dominant. The Mane is both the religious and political leader.

Even names are kind of related, since it's common to take a name describing what you do. You are Jobasha (Basha the Scholar) because you do scholarly work.

Do any of you actually have any of the stuff from The Restless League, and if so do people ever ask what it is?

>Will you be updating the supplements as well, and are there any new ones planned?
We're going to update them, and we do have one new one planned as well. Pic somewhat related.

So Zenithar is a socialist? Arming the proletariat and all that?

...

also god of commerce.
so a filthy capitalist jew.

What gods/panethon would you worship /tgesg/? I can't help feel drawn to the Tribunal. Despite being a fairly selfish group, they did protect and allow Morrowind to prosper.

>glorifying daedra worshippers
May Stendarr's mercy be upon you, for the Vigil have none to spare.

There are two different tribunals. Be specific.
>implying the vigilantes are a danger to anyone but themselves

Sorry I meant the ALMSIVI one

Hircine seems like a nice guy.

Praise Azurah.

Are Nords slavic?

Not really. Maybe they share some aspects of Slav-folklore.

No they're Nords

Those "aspects" were never slavic in origin.

Azura, she seems like a firm but caring patron. Certainly not the 8 chumps who thought worldbuilding with the trickster god wasn't going to be a ruse.

there is only one god

Akatosh. I like dragons, but I also like time fuckery.

I fucking love this OP pic

I believe you can thank Madmartigan for that. He's one of the long time UESRPG guys, and our resident shitposter.

>caring
>"hey so these couple of guys are assholes, let me just curse an entire ethnic group of people."
>"hey so im going to let a bunch of these people get killed because they worshipped the wrong gods."
>"i could totally appear and help this dude fuck up this masked freak but im just gonna watch and give him a thumbs up when hes done."
Oh boy do I wish Azura was my mother

>using a torch in the orrery

Don't forget her all around bitchiness in Daggerfall

>"Hey so these couple of guys are assholes, let me just curse an entire ethnic group of people."
*changed their skin tone to remind them that there are consequences for being assholes
>"Hey so I'm going to let a bunch of these people get killed because they worshipped the wrong gods."
I'm not sure what incident you speaking of, but punishing traitors is part of her firm aspect
>"I could totally appear and help this dude fuck up this masked freak but I'm just gonna watch and give him a thumbs up when he's done."
Could she though? Either way, you wouldn't grow as a person if your mother did everything for you. She acts as guide not a nanny.

The Aedra obviously, I'm not a criminal, or a heathen.

Guides you to worship her without question or free will even though the other gods all have their own merits more like.

What kind of limp wrist god doesn't? Pantheons only allow that shit because they can leech worshippers in a package deal.

Friendly reminder that Daedra do not care about you, their followers, or anything that does not further their own desires.
Do not trust a creature that requires a ritual to speak to it.
Please report any strange lights or noises to your local order of Stendarr.
Thank you for your time.

He explaimed it all to me. Before, when I still understood. I don't remember, but I still know.

Don't waste your time paying lip service to impotent corpse gods. Seize power and ensure your safety from the Daedric uprising.

I worship Kynareth, the patron Aedra of my home the great city of Daggerfall unequaled in the Illaic Bay. She provides the auspicious wind during the campaigns against pirates and Orcs.

>not just worshipping your own ancestors
Old Ways Best Ways.

Alright /tgesg/,
Were the Ayleids just an offshoot of the Aldmer or were they Bird people? some sort of Hybrid?

My take on it is that early Altmer settlers assimilated burb people and adopted parts of their culture.

Bird people? What do you mean?

Topal the Pilot was enchanted with the islands
And the feathered men who lived there.
There the Niben stayed for a moon, and the bird
Men learned how to speak their own words,
And with taloned feet, to write.
In joy for their new knowledge, they made Topal
Their lord, giving him their islands for the
Gift.
Topal said he would return someday, but first he
Must find the passage east to Firsthold, so
Far away.

They're Norse, you moron.

What's Veeky Forums's fascination with having to constantly identify slavs and slav-inspired things?

They are elves, a break off from the Aldmeri way. Upon their rediscovery by the Altmer, they were perceived as bird people, because they had grown that estranged.

tell me about the Bretons, Veeky Forums

+Naturally talented in magic
+Best-looking man race
+Slaughtered dirty mer
-Shortest man race
-Culture leans on "generic fantasy"

Ohhhkay, being the King of Rape is part of Molag Bal's aspect, doesn't mean his worshippers should get all giddy when a Daedroth bends one of them over the altar

>-Shortest man race
Proofs?

>worshipping the god of rape without a rape fetish
shiggydiggydoo

Why not both

They always seemed more Celtic until Skyrim

>Best-looking man race
Nords are fucking beautiful m8. It's a race full of Thors and David Hasselhoffs.
the games

Male Bretons are the same height as Imperials, Redguards, and Dunmer. Female Bretons are the second shortest just behind Male Bosmer.

I distinctly remember playing a male Breton in Skyrim and being, like, chin height to female Nords.

Nords are the tallest human race.

UESP lists the height for all races in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim in the Races section. Bosmer females grew taller than males in Skyrim for some reason.

Is Hammerfell (with Thras as an expansion) the best possible setting for TES 6?

>nigger japs
>more dwemer shit
>weeaboo fitan magiks
yes

Bethesda going bankrupt before they can make TES6 would be the best scenario.

Whats the plot? Ebonarm? Sword-singing?

I rather want them go WEIRD like in morrowind. Elsweyr or Valenwood.

> rather want them go WEIRD like in morrowind
Not gonna happen.

She was one of the Magna-Ge, the Aedra who managed to flee before being trapped in the mortal world.

After being severed from the veil of souls she hates anyone who would do that to another person and thus wishes to return the souls of the undead back to their place I.e. she wishes to free souls trapped as unread or trapped by necromancers.

She was kicked out of the Magna-He for "consulting with illicit spectra" which may mean one of the following:
She banged some Ayelid dude.
She was buddies with a daedra.
She had contact with some other spirit in the veil we know nothing about.

Because Female Nords are taller than average height.

If anything wood-elves are Slavs.
Weird, violent , backstabbing , squatting in the woods oh and they steal whatever they want.

>Nords are fucking beautiful m8. It's a race full of Thors and David Hasselhoffs.
Eh. Most of them look like Chin Man with an extra chromosome. Not that any race in the games really looks better.
Besides, I'd say I like how Breton Women look more than Nordic women regardless of height. Runa is a qt, though.
Bosmeri men were always the shortest, but they seem to be getting less short in each game. Personally I like the height discrepancy between Bosmer.

Oh, so, Bretons and Imperials are "average," and it's just Nords who are unusual?

Pretty much. Bosmeri women, Argonian women, Redguard Women, Khajiit men, and Dunmer of both genders are also average height, known as 1.

In Morrowind, Nords were the second tallest race, just behind Altmer. Orcs were shorter than Nords.

>eso warning

Worship sanguine and party all the time.

Probably first one

>A NEW HAND touches my clitoris

Magnus would be a huge one, since I'd want to be a mage.

Dibella and Mara seem nice, as well as Phynaster and Y'ffre if I'm a Breton.

Nords have several cultural influences from vikings to germans to baltic people who are at least somewhat slavic, to scots in morrowind with the accents and the Woad Paint and even hungarians in skyrim in the name of Farkas which im fairly sure is Hungarian (vilkas beeing something from the baltic languages if im not wrong)

Races in TES dont directly relate to a real life people and you shouldnt make that mistake. Nordic burial traditions are positiveley chinese to name one aspect.

As for a direct Slavic pendant the closest you get is Colovians, see Rislav Larich for a very slavic name, even tho the game is mostly known for its Badlore, if you check out oblivions names for norhtern imperials you will find quite a few slavic sounding names in Colovians.

Either way dont listen to people saying "X TES race is just Y", especialy not if "Y" is "Vikings".

There are theories that the Ayleids bird obsession comes either from these natives or that those bird people were in fact the Ayleids, tho the later theory is generaly considered the more boring one and thus discounted.

>Wood Elves
That would require them to be anything other than cavemen tho.
Bosmer simply lack the architectural, technical and industrial skill to even resemble any modern culture.

she also made the khajiit. That alone makes her based.

Talos. A man so powerful and awesome he ascended to godhood? How do you not worship him?

;_; fucking todd

>;_;
Don't.

(User was reported to the Thalmor for this Post)

>How do you not worship him?
By worshipping the Tribunal.

Intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

I would follow Hircine, hunt wild Beasts and impress cute Bosmer chicks.

Azurah and her "sisters" are just too much work. (But okay if you stay loyal i guess)

I mean Meridia seems "good" but is just angry all the time.

And Nocturnal has assburgers.

Sheo & Sanguine are more fun than i could handle.

Pery is nurgle-lite.

The other Daedra are dicks. And Aedra are too passive.

Are you a goddamned fool or just a troll? Nords are the tallest human race in every ES game. Why would you consider them to be 'average'?

>he doesn't want to put salt in the jarl's sugar jar in the name of Mehrunes Dagon

>Her clit is a dick
Fucking Daedra.

I find it weird that she is friends with Ayleids, as many of the sorceror kings like to use necromancy a lot

>nihilism

Why are Nords in the game always represented by a Female Nord when in the History of Nords the women haven't done much? Nearly every Nord king of note was a male, from the First Empire of the Nords to High Kings.
