/tgesg/ - Weekend Elder Scrolls General

Phial of Glibness, ftw.

No thread last week was a mistake. N'wahs, all of you.

If that's you evidence to support it then I guess wolves are Snow Elves too if not more so.
>Whiteish pale skin
>Pointed ears
>Several are found in Dwemer territory

There not being a thread last week is on you too, s'wit.

If they're related to any "normal" race, then they're closest to Nords through possible Atmoran heritage.

No, that's the Falmer.

The dwemer were given the name dwarf by the allied giant clans before the Night of Tears happened, right? Wouldn't that imply giants where there before the falmer were forced into the underground?

Are there any good art dumps for TES around? Imgur albums, tumblrs, that kinda stuff?

I'd also like to know, actually.
The only TES-related palces I visit are these threads, the Imperial Library and UESP, so my options to collect art are limited.

Kirkbride and LadyNerevar's tumblrs for one

Are there any proper ingame descriptions of the physical traits of the races that aren't just game visuals?

>en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Races

Them being named dwarf by giants is just a debased legend.
The name 'dwarf' finds its actual basis in their studies of the Ehlnofey, or in other words, the haunting discovery of their own incredible inferiority.

I visit this page: tes.reactor.cc/
There is a LOT of stuff in there, but mostly in ruskie speak. Some of it is NSFW.

Next game setting?

The logical follow-up to Skyrim would be to set it in Valenwood or the Summerset Isles and depict the Imperial-Aldmeri war, but I really want to see Akavir in person and explore some brand new cultures.

I could see Elder Scrolls 6 taking in Cyrodiil since it was a hotbed during the first Great War and still lays next to the Dominion. Perhaps the next game will even take place in multiple provinces like Valenwood and Cyrodiil.

Space

Skyrim 2 will take place in the Stormcloak liberated lands where you kill the evil empire and their elf friends with your half vampire half werewolf waifu and take over the entire continent of Skyrim, even the city of Cyruradul where the evil empires live. The final boss is on the Thalmor island, and he's actually a evil dragon.

Also Dagoth Ur has returned but now he's a Dwemer cyborg sent from the future kappa on a mission to kill Ulfric Stormcloak the third

>future kappa

Did the Snow Elves deserve it?

How do orcs kiss with their fuckhuge tusks?

Do orc mommas have iron boobs to nurse their babies?

Is the space core canon?

It irrationally bothers me when people think Serana is from the first era.

Like, 8 of them.

Did Snow Elves actually do anything important? I'm a bit confused on ancient chronology and who oppressed whom at what point?

They weren't the one who enslaved humans, were they?

ONE OF US WILL DIE HERE AND IT WONT BE ME.

I would hope that like normal babies, teeth come in starting at 4-6mos, and like them, the fangs don't come in until 18 months. But they are orcs after all, so who knows.

Valenwood seems like a good choice, but do they actually have migrating tree-cities or it's just a lie? Can Bethesda do migrating trees justice?

Maybe Hammerfell? It's a functional, yet exotic choice.

Akavir would be an interesting choice, but I don't think TES will ever go for some kind of frontier tale.

You're thinking of the Ayleid. The Falmer clashed with Atmoran settlers at Sarthal and were driven back by the 500 Companions.

I thought they were fighting about something else. But wasn't sure if this was the first time.

I don't remember where, but I think it's implied there was something in Sarthal that the Falmer wanted. If that's what you're thinking of.

>I don't remember where, but I think it's implied there was something in Sarthal that the Falmer wanted.
I wonder what it might've been, lol.

Yeah, I remember now. Although weren't companions (And Nords as a whole) at the point hanging at some different landmass? Then sailed to Skyrim and kick Falmer asses?

I love TES lore. So much to be confused about.

You're probably thinking of the Ayleids. The Snow Elves or Falmer are different.
>Control large swathes of modern day Skyrim
>Maintain an "uneasy alliance" with the Dwemer
>Nords start migrating to Tamriel to flee a war torn Atmora
>Nord population grows at an alarming rate
>Falmer decide to sack the largest Nord settlement
sidenote: the Nords found the immensely powerful Eye of Magnus which probably helped compel the Snow Elves to attack the Nords
>Nords/Atmorans come back and wage a conflict of extermination against the Snow Elves
>This was presumably happened over the course of hundreds of years
>Remaining Falmer turn to the Dwemer for shelter
>Dwemer enslave and eventually devolve the Falmer

Yup, that would be Atmora. Crazy times. Some people speculate it could have been the Eye of Magnus is Sarthal, some people don't.

What do you think is canon resolution of civil war be? Did Skyrim secede or not?

They'll have to address that. They can skip on stuff like College storyline and stuff, but not on civil war.

A draw. Or overshadowed by something bigger.

"oh man did you hear about that shit that went down in skyrim?"
"damn yeah it was horrible, brothers fighting brothers, political assassinations, it was horrible!"
"shame about that meteor/plague/gundam/timeskip"

I can't wait for "Elder Scrolls III: Skyrim II".
I no longer find any joy in baseless speculation. I'm very content with just waiting to see what gets announced.

No. The Dwemer were the biggest bag of dicks in the entirety of Tamriel.

>How do orcs kiss with their fuckhuge tusks?
Carefully.

I have a question about the Daedra, do their realms serve as a type of afterlife for their respective worshipers? Would there be lots of pain in Hircirie's afterlife? Which one would you go want to go to?

Yes, they do. Hircine's realm is an eternal hunt.

Do you believe theories that Rorikstead people is sacrificing women to daedra?

After watching some videos, I now believe it was probably Clavicus Vile daedric quest before they scrapped it for some reason, and replaced with half-assed quest with an axe. But pre-quest interactions were already written and programmed.

if anything Azura's realm would be the better one

>Would there be lots of pain in Hircirie's afterlife?
If you are the kind of a person who'd worship Hircine, you are going to like it.

If I go to Apocrypha, do I get to read the rest of black books or do I just get raped by tentacles 24/7?

probably a roaming thrall taking care of the library

What's Orsinium like? In what time period was it the coolest?
Elder Scrolls 6: Orc Town

>What's Orsinium like?
It's a shithole

>In what time period was it the coolest?
Before it existed

>What's Orsinium like?
Ashes.

>In what time period was it the coolest?
Before Bretons/Redguards/other orcs went all remove kebab on it for the 50th dime

>What's Orsinium like?
Depends on which one you're talking about.

>In what time period was it the coolest?
The years following the Miracle of Peace, before the Oblivion Crisis.

You become a seeker. Hence the name "seeker."
A husk of your previous self, guided only by the ravenous lust for knowledge that consumed you, and no different from every other poor soul that lost its way in apocrypha.

In the years following the Miracle of Peace, Orsinium was the seat of an Orcish Kingdom controlling significant parts of central High Rock, and even extending over the Bjoulsae into the northern parts of Hammerfell.
Though technically part of the province of High Rock, the Elder Council started treating Orsinium as a separate entity, collecting taxes directly from the King of Orsinium instead of through Bretons. An application had been made to turn the kingdom into a proper province. The reigning King, Gortwog gro-Nagrom, had also managed to broker an alliance with Wayrest.

The fortress-city itself, sometimes called Nova Orsinium, was a massive fortress built from iron, placed in the Wrothgarian Mountains. King Gortwog won the land (legally), in single combat from a Breton nobleman.
The pressing issue of Orsinium at this time was that of looming religious conflict, as King Gortwog was of the belief that Malacath was in fact not Trinimac, but a separate entity that had led the Orsimer astray. He established a new priesthood of Trinimac, and although he managed to convert the majority of the city of Orsinium to his new faith, most rural Orsimer saw it as heresy. Gortwog was essentially trying to break the Orsimer out of the role of Tamriel's pariah race.

Then Bretons and Redguards ruined everything. Again.

Honourable mentions to Torug gro-Igron's Orsinium. That place was under siege for 30 years, by Breton and Redguard forces including Ansei, before it finally fell.

Does Mister Orcson there have 4 nipples?

If it was, how could anyone tell

t. Lord Bowyn after his duel

Yeah Kirkbride said he made them not noble savages by giving them multiple pig tits.

I mean no matter how he wanted to spin they'd end up noble savages, multitit or not.

>orcs alone can handle 2 entire provinces attacking them for 30 years
>Dunmer can't even handle Black Marsh
>Nords can't even handle Summerset
Kek

>Dunmer can't even handle Black Marsh after having a large portion of their country explode
>The entire empire can't even handle Summerset
Fixed

>Dunmer never prepare for the big flying rock falling (it's like not preparing for an earthquake in Cali)
>Skyrim has almost entirely Nordic armies being whooped by entirely High Elven Dominion troops) in their own damn province.

Regardless of your thoughts on the matter, let's try to find loopholes in lore to make a bullshit marysue.

Let's explain how a werewolf/vampire hybrid can come to be.

The reason they don't exist is because both diseases make you immune to other diseases. Just have a strain of them that doesn't immunize you, and voila.

Summon Hircine and Molag Bal at the same time. Let Molag Bal buttfuck you while Hircine bites your dick. There you go. Everyone knows therianthropy and vampirism are daedric STDs.

How do you "prepare" for a giant meteor raining down from the sky.

well they attempted that with a what was basically a magical soul powered stasis field generator that kept the rock frozen in air as Sheogorath still gave the rock power as if he just threw it. all of the smartest mages were basically huddled together in Vivec City trying to find a way to make it work better or at least evacuate the population.
and then some idiot mage named Sul had his wife get picked and then one thing led to another (AKA the two Elder Scrolls novels happened) and they got wrecked because of a emo dark elf basically.

also for almost no real reason said Dark Elf can will himself super easily into Daedric Planes willy nilly even after what happened a few years before in the Oblivion Crisis.

>Can Bethesda do migrating trees justice?
Not if they want them on console.
I've always felt Bosmer culture could use more elaboration, but I just don't see it happening properly.
Either a time break changed it so that the trees never moved or whatever reason there is for the player character to be doing stuff is why they've all taken to being stationary.

things been floating there for a while.

you think maybe building a city under a gigantic rock that can fall at any second would be a bad idea?

>building

What would be the khajiit's daily religious life be like? What kind of activities do they perform?
Meditation? Yoga?

Was the tradition of tattooing Ohmes Khajiit always a thing or was it only after Pelinal that it began?
Varieties of Faith in the Empire says that Alkosh saved the khajiit from him, I'm guessing this has to do with the tattoos.

Fine, staying behind.

If there was a city on Earth with a nuclear bomb floating above it that could come down at any second and even if the bomb came after the city was built, not a single person would live there anymore.

In a world where cities are often rampaged, living under living god's nose is a safest way possible.
And even if Dunmer wouldn't trust Vivec that much, nobles invited to move in would probably fear him more than they would fear a rock. And the lower castes would just follow for financial opportunities.
Not moving out AFTER Vivec's disappearance was more foolish, especially since it started lowering, but, first, even after Red Mountain's explosion some Dunmer believed the Tribunal will come and save them because they could trust them for thousands of years, second, (unbeknowst to Dunmer though) moving out somewhere else on Vvardenfell really wouldn't help much.

>If there was a city on Earth with a nuclear bomb floating above it that could come down at any second and even if the bomb came after the city was built, not a single person would live there anymore.

People lived and still live under volcanoes, in tectonically active regions, in places plagued by constant war. You can just get used to it, I think.

What happens if those people then die in Oblivion? Do they also get absorbex into the waters of Oblivion?

For example, some people who die in the Shivering Isles become ghosts, but most don't or at least aren't shown to. Or did they come to the Isles while still alive?

Depends on the realm.

We don't know.

Stealing stuff. They spend days and nights pleasing their gods with stolen stuff and skooma.

>Or did they come to the Isles while still alive?
In the Isles, this is actually often the case.

Are the Elder Scrolls novels any good?

They're decent. Infernal City is worth a read.

Dumb question. Where's the player's handbook for 3e? I want to take a look at the expanded race options.

Are female Knights common in Breton culture?

Knights in general are common in Breton culture. The "QUEST FOR HONOR AND GREAT JUSTICE!" mentality is pretty deeply embedded in the society of High Rock.

...

They're common in the huge amount of Orc rape doujins.

>Orc rape
Orcs would never cheat on Malacath with Molag Bal.

No you misunderstand.

Female Breton Knights are the ones doing the raping of those helpless male orcs.

Yes.

I need this in my life.

Gender seems to be pretty equal among most of the classes at this point. Even if it's a pain to play one at lower levels in Morrowind, it's definitely a thing.

I will never understand why people like orc rape doujins.

Masochism I guess

>fat
>bald
>ugly
Lots of similarities I guess

Does this look daedric to you guys?

Fuck, forgot image

Get a red marker, draw some daedric letters, and i think you're good to go.

Threadly reminder that the dwemer were a great race with a few sad failings
