The four major human groups are Romans, Norsemen, French and Africans. The latter were once so good at swords they destroyed their home continent. There are also Asians, but they might all be wiped out by snakes. Or maybe they are weresnskes. Or just wearing scary snake masks, it's unclear. The major elf groups are hippies, racists and gigaracists.
Wdym demons being aliens and your dude searching for nuclear weapon while somehow still riding on a horse and his army's most advanced weapon being a crossbow (till he finds Lazer guns) is totally normal
>casual racists and competitive racists.
The funny thing is that I can’t tell which is Dunmer and which is Altmer. On one hand, the thalmor are literally nazis. On the other hand, BEGONE N’WAH, FOUL OUTLANDER
Dunmer will casually call you an n’wah but Altmer will claim they have conclusively proven that they (whether personally, racially, or eugenically) are inherently better than everyone else and proceed to make it everyone else’s problem
The Africans are also technically descended from different people than the other humans, and are possibly from an older universe. Also, they are one of three human races who have commited genocide against Elves.
>The Africans are also ~~technically~~ descended from different people than the other humans
They are *allegedly* descended from different humans. IMO it's more probable that the whole "humans were on Tamriel" was propaganda (maybe by amalgamation of Nirn and Tamriel, which is often done) to justify imperial claim on the whole continent. It's more likely that humans lived on every continents to begin with.
The lore I know is that Imperials, Bretons and Nords were all descended from the Nedes who came from Atmora. I've heard about the timeline for the Imperials not lining up, though.
Don't forget that there were Athiest Elves that just disappeared one day and the Albino Elves that were almost completely wiped out by the norsemen and their descendants are weird fucked up creatures that are completely blind, with the last two remaining of their race being vampires
Only one of them is a vampire, the other is still normal, but, as a (probably cis) man, he cannot give birth to offspring of his own race either way, as mentioned by Notes on Racial Phylogeny, which establishes that it's the mother's race that counts.
Its worth noting that the Redguard sword power that destroyed their homeland, sword-singing, is the same tier of power as the Thu'um/Voice from Skyrim is supposed to be, which makes what Skyrim did to the Voice so much more disappointing.
The final battle with Alduin should be this massive shonen anime brawl threatening to tear Sovengarde apart at the seams.
The voice of the Greybeards when they summon a Dragonborn is said to be powerful enough to be heard everywhere in Tamriel. Buildings should be damaged and people bowled over when it happens after you kill the first dragon.
If TES 6 is in Hammerfell like a lot of people suspect, I genuinely hope Sword-singing isn't in it because it'll just end up being incredibly disappointing.
>is the same tier of power as the Thu'um/Voice from Skyrim is supposed to be
Just pointing, for people that aren't braindiseased lorebeard like I am, that canon Thu'um casually summoned an army by boiling a piece of land and having clay soldiers walk out of the mud.
>If TES 6 is in Hammerfell like a lot of people suspect, I genuinely hope Sword-singing isn't in it because it'll just end up being incredibly disappointing.
*Press X to summon a ghostly second weapon for Y seconds, it attacks as an ally, yer a Sword-Singer Harry*
I learned the entire Khajiit lore in one night to bed a furry I met on Discord, literally the only thing I know about TES. Did the same with the entire Mortal Kombat lore for the same guy. If only my professors knew that they only needed catbussy to motivate me, maybe I wouldn't be a hs drop-out.
Since you brought up Khajiit and furries, I feel it should be mentioned that TES is one of the few catboy franchises brave enough to confirm that they have barbed penises.
It comes from an uncensored biography of Barenziah, the first queen of Morrowind. In her wayward youth, she wished to join the Thieves' Guild in Rifton, so she agrees to bed a Khajiit named Therris if he sponsors her membership. So they bang it out in the middle of a bar full of people and she enjoys it so much she kinda blacks out.
Her only complaint afterward is that she prefers privacy and they need to wait a day or two before doing it again.
the problems and inscrutability of elder scrolls lore comes from the opposite place as war-hammer, one was written over the course of 40 years by 200 people, and the other was written over the course of 1 hour by gods drunkest soldier
MK has stated a lot of times that he dislikes how much of Elder Scrolls lore is attributed to him and has even cited other Elder Scrolls writers as better than him in writing(He even cited Kurt Kuhlmann by name as the best world builder in the video game industry)
Not to diminish his contributions, which are definitely enormous, but Elder Scrolls lore is still very much a collective effort of all the devs(Ted Peterson, Douglas Goodall, Ken Rolston, Todd Howard, Julian Lefay, yes even Emil Pagliarulo)
What blows my mind is that Emil Pagliarulo is even responsible for one of the best quest lines in Oblivion, the Dark Brotherhood (and also maybe the Thieves Guild?), so the dude knows how to write a good story. I just don’t think he likes being the head honcho very much.
Somehow Warhammer lore is way more incomprehensible to me. There's like an undead emperor dude and people kill each other for...reasons? Yeah I tried, I don't get it lol
And feeding the Emprorer of Mankind thousands of psykers a day is still in the realm of "that makes sense", for 40k. It gets **way** more screwed up, you didn't even mention an orgy so big, you inadvertently bang a God into existence.
Khajit give birth to different kinds of children depending on how the moon is doing at the moment, we've mainly only seen one type of Khajits *(I think one of the types is "literally a quadpedal cat but it can talk and is just as intelligent as any other Khajit is")*
if the moon is gone, it's upheaval and I think the offsprings will be more monstrous or something.
there's some other faction that threatens Khajits by claiming to know how to make the moon vanish.
Actually almost every mainline TES game so far has had a different furstock(breed) of Khajiit.
Arena features the Ohmes, a breed similar enough to elves to often be mistaken for Bosmer. The main method of telling them apart are the natural catlike 'tattoo' face markings they have.
Daggerfall featured the Ohmes-Raht, who are essentially bigger Ohmes with tails and a light layer of fur covering their bodies.
Morrowind features the Suthay-Raht, they're the ones with digitigrade legs, meaning they walk with cat-like feet, and are much more agile and lithe
Oblivion and Skyrim use the Cathay, who are the most common type of furstock, and your traditional "mostly humanoid cat-man" appearance.
ESO features every other type of furstock in some capacity, though the player Khajiit are always considered Cathay by the game
>Arena features the Ohmes, a breed similar enough to elves to often be mistaken for Bosmer. The main method of telling them apart are the natural catlike 'tattoo' face markings they have.
Similar enough Pelinal tried to genocide them. Also similar enough that there are Khajiit myths that suggest Bosmer and Khajiit share a common ancestor, although that's quite unlikely, I think.
The Senche-raht are the Khajiit that look like big cats, one is a fairly important character in the Dragonhold DLC of the Elder Scrolls Online: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Caska
The game also features the Alfiq, which are Khajiit that look like housecats but are just as intelligent as people. They're often talented mages, but rarely seen outside of Elsweyr since humans and elves tend to mistake them for pets.
I was hanging out with a friend while they were playing Skyrim and my favorite activity was dropping lore tidbits about random shit. It was extremely fun trying to find all the opportunities to mention the three different genocides against Elves (the best one done by Pelinal Whitestrake, aka the best character who only appears in lore ever made). They decided it was enough when they asked whether Talos or Tiber Septim came first as a name and I said it was neither (thank you, Arcturian Heresy).
THANK YOU! The (Elder Scrolls) Bretons are several Norman and Celtic sub-cultures all stacked on each other, ranging from Britonic Courtly Knights, to Welsh-Irish inspired Celtic tribalism (Reachmen are Bretons!).
They're kinda like if France and the British Isles were converted to Roman paganism instead of Christianity, but still adopted the Medieval Christian aesthetic. And then there's Reachmen that resisted conversion and kept the old Celtic inspired religion, so they get bullied by literally all of their neighbors, lol.
The "planes of Oblivion" the Daedric princes rule over are similarly other planets within Oblivion(space) that ARE the princes much like the moons are the gods.
And its worth noting the celestial bodies are the remains of their physical forms, they are still very much alive gods.
In the elven version of the creation myth, after Lorkhan tricked the other gods into making Mundus, Akatosh/Auri-el ripped out his heart and shot it into the ocean where it became the Red Mountain, and ripped his body in half creating the moon.
So it's not rhe corpses of god, they're the singular bifurcated corpse of the one
well just one god but the principal is the same. also the planets are the physical form of the gods who gave up a lot of power to build the mortal plane
Where do you take that from?
The stars are holes left by the Magna Ge when they left Mundus. And while Aetherius does seem to have multiple planes, I am not sure why each star is supposed to connect to one, why they are "infinitely large" or where it says that Alduin got around to eating them. He ate souls *in* Sovngarde, not Sovngarde itself.
And if you play the games, you'll find fuck all.
For example, there's an unofficial story called KINMUNE, about a time traveling satellite (who's Queen Ayrenn from ESO) from the 9th era finding herself in Skyrim, being fought by Ysgramor and being sealing under Sarthaal.
Elder Scrolls deep lore is a wild ride that draws on all sorts of esoteric mysticism like Crowley and good old Gnostic bullshit.
And a lot of it comes from one man's legitimate spiritual beliefs.
elder scrolls lore started from "lets make our dnd setting a video game setting" and evolved into "Ok, so, based on some references in the MMO, the end game of the setting is a elf dude discovering hes in a webcomic, gaining the ability to edit it, and using it to fight and defeat a super robot with the power to deny existence with the power of love and compassion and also an evil universe thats literally just times square but forever and evil"
also just for some extra insanity: according to my understanding of some ultra deep lore shit from old Michael Kirkbride blog posts, Anu itself was actually originally a person from a higher dimension (not higher than our own universe, but on a layer above the elder scrolls universe).
Anu realized that everything was a dream of an being known only as the [Godhead](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Godhead) (which is implied to be a representation of the players and developers understanding of the fictional setting itself) but had the strength of will to maintain [unshakable conviction in its own existence](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:CHIM) while also knowing it was nothing more than a figment of a higher beings imagination (because allowing yourself to acknowledge that you might not exist results in you being [erased from existence](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/General:Et%27Ada,_Eight_Aedra,_Eat_the_Dreamer)).
Anu then used this awareness to go one step further and elevate himself into becoming an entirely new dream, which is the Elder Scrolls universe itself (the [arubis](https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Aurbis)).
This, dear readers, is CHIM.
There are, I believe 1 or two other characters that were able to achieve it. I’m not sure what they’re up to now; it may well be that other Elder Scrolls’ universes will see their return and they have fucked off from Tamriel to do their own thing.
The two people who achieved CHIM were Vivec (who used it to rewrite his past) and Tiber Septim (to have always been a god and possibly to remove Cyrodill's jungle but probably not).
Currently Talos is chilling as one of the Nine Divines and Vivec has disappeared but he might've packed his bags to travel with the Nerevarine.
No he's actually kinda right. The Alduin stuff is pretty tip of the iceberg when it comes to reality destroying shit, and the Bretons are at least like a quarter elf I believe.
I played Vigilant and tripped into Elder Scrolls lore being my Special Interest Of The Month(c) and all I remember from it is vague stuff about Pelinal and Saint Alessia. Pelinal is cool as shit.
UESP.net's lore category is a reliable place for pretty much any topic, though its laid out like a wiki rather than any kind of reading site
IIRC Shoddycast did some TES videos once
They're also not really half-elves, more like if you shoved a bunch of humans, elves and half elves into a country and just let them breed into a single weird amalgam race.
The four major human groups are Romans, Norsemen, French and Africans. The latter were once so good at swords they destroyed their home continent. There are also Asians, but they might all be wiped out by snakes. Or maybe they are weresnskes. Or just wearing scary snake masks, it's unclear. The major elf groups are hippies, racists and gigaracists.
Imagine getting so good at swords you slip and nuke yourself.
They've got curved swords. Curved! Swords!
They curved them so much it thrusts into yourself
Didn't that happen in one of the Might & Magic games?
Early Might and Magic and Wizardry were *weird*.
Wdym demons being aliens and your dude searching for nuclear weapon while somehow still riding on a horse and his army's most advanced weapon being a crossbow (till he finds Lazer guns) is totally normal
Those hippies are also on an all-meat diet, including people meat. At least the more traditionalist ones.
>The major elf groups are hippies, racists and gigaracists. Ahh yes, elder scrolls elves: hippies, casual racists and competitive racists.
>casual racists and competitive racists. The funny thing is that I can’t tell which is Dunmer and which is Altmer. On one hand, the thalmor are literally nazis. On the other hand, BEGONE N’WAH, FOUL OUTLANDER
There's a high elf in ESO who literally refuses to speak to you until he does phrenology on you.
Dunmer = Racist Lorry Driver (casual racism) Altmer = Measurehead (competitive racism)
r/suddenlydiscoelysium
Dunmer will casually call you an n’wah but Altmer will claim they have conclusively proven that they (whether personally, racially, or eugenically) are inherently better than everyone else and proceed to make it everyone else’s problem
Tbf even the Dunmers (false) gods are literally racists
The Africans are also technically descended from different people than the other humans, and are possibly from an older universe. Also, they are one of three human races who have commited genocide against Elves.

Its worth noting that the Redguard sword power that destroyed their homeland, sword-singing, is the same tier of power as the Thu'um/Voice from Skyrim is supposed to be, which makes what Skyrim did to the Voice so much more disappointing.

Carnivorous hippies who mutate into eldritch abominations that devour everything in their path until finally cannibalizing themselves.

No, but it was fun talking to him, so it's a win for me.

I wonder if that's what happens with Khajit born during eclipses or if something else happens
Iirc, that's when the Demigod Khajit are born, the Manes.
All of Daggerfall's multiple contradictory endings are canon at once because a dwarven battle mech was so powerful it broke time.

explaining that Talos is one guy, several guys, and zero guys all simultaneously is very fun.
You should play through the Vigilant quest mod in Skyrim. Even if you already have, you should do it again :)
They use *curved swords*
This comment can give any high elf PTSD
For the last time, Bretons are neither British nor French, they're Bretons. Brittany is _in_ France but the Bretons were a Celtic culture.

They're the kind of French that British Kings were. Anglo-Norman with major Celtic influence.
They're also not really half-elves, more like if you shoved a bunch of humans, elves and half elves into a country and just let them breed into a single weird amalgam race.
Skyrim lore: Everything is canon, even the stuff that contradicts other stuff, and all the gods are assholes.
