>>43514333
that woman is THIS? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Faydra_Shardai

Doesnt look like it.
>>
>>43514397
I was more referring to the fact that Battlespire introduced three Daeric clans working for Mehrunes Dagon.
The Dremora Clan, the Xivilai Clan and the Shardai Clan.
Dremora and Xivilai have since become species in their own right, but the Shardai kind of haven't.

And the woman in the picture is a seducer.
>>
>>43514563
Too bad the clan serves Dagon. I'd summon a few if they served Mephala, Nocturnal, or Namira
>>
>>43511239
So the Earth Bones are like the Laws of Nature (e.g. Gravity, Linear Time, etc.)?
>>
>>43514619
Well, back then the Dremora were in exclusive service to Dagon, and we all know how little that aligns with current lore.
Battlespire also had a daedric race of brown skinned white haired women named Nocturnals, who were actually kind of likeable and didn't really serve anyone other than themselves, from what I could gather.

So I have a question about the Falmer. I know the Dwemer fed toxic fungi to them that rendered them blind, but it is never said how they became the twisted things they are. I heard people on /r/teslore mention that the Dwemer used their tonal harmony to make "anti-creations". Is it possible that the Dwemer experimented on the Falmer with "anti-creation" tonal harmonics and it twisted them?

>>
>>43519089
I'd agree if this was some crucial text, or one directly in the games. Some text that's supposed to be more or less easily understood.
The Magne-Ge Pantheon feels like it's very intentionally written to be alien, incomprehensible, and just overall strange. And it's sort of fun like that. It just lies there, like some optional "end boss" of the lore. It's also fun to be able to read and make theories about one of the few subjects that hasn't been entirely decoded, decided and normalised by greater loremasters than me.
I don't want a lot of texts like the Magne-Ge Pantheon, and the style would upset me in other contexts. But as the arcane lore of a decidedly alien race, I'm sort of okay with it.

A dragon's name is a summary of their character, but it is a summary written from the perspective of dragons.
Paarthurnax was a tyrant, is a tyrant, and has always been a tyrant, because his philosophy of self-control is inimical to the nature and natural order of dragons.

To dragons, rule of the strongest is the ideal government. To take what you are able to take is not merely accepted or expected, but inherently praiseworthy, because the fact you were able to take it proves beyond all doubt that you are the one more worthy to possess it. To take what is yours is your moral duty, and what's yours is all you can take.
To accept control without power is perverse, contentment is degeneracy, and to allow the weak to take for themselves is heresy.

Paarthurnax, meanwhile, would have dragons accept the rule of a formless, powerless philosophy, to which he himself is subservient, which teaches that true strength is found in restraint, abstinence, and inaction. It teaches that the powerful have a duty to serve the weak. This, to a dragon, is the greatest tyranny imaginable.

Literaly the first TES game since Morrowind to make nods to the First Pocket Guide.

I dont like everything ESO does either but the Bosmer lore is spot on and so is pretty much everything post launch. Orsinium is pretty spot on lore wise.

I mean hell it prominently features trinimac in all its elf like stuff and Craglorn was realy great aswell, actually displaying nedes as something else as "plot device people".

I know people hate that game. But its lore as of late isnt shit.

I mean hell, ESO even acknowledged the diversity of argonians.
No other game did that so far.
>>
>>43520512
Indoubt it's gone, I was browsing it like 5 or 6 hours ago.
>>
>>43520641
I would actually prefer it if Online was entirely horrible.
I played it at launch, and continued doing so for a short time, but stopped because I don't really like MMOs and the game was pretty shit.
But I do have to say that there's occasionally some cool pieces of lore that pop out of it. Not in the sense the the game PRODUCES a lot of new, interesting lore (my impression is that it's actually pretty weak in that regard), but mainly that it ACKNOWLEDGES some more obscure things.
If the game had just been horrible from A to Z, it would have been so easy to completely disregard it.

I just
Why
>>
>>43521513

>>
>>43521595
And multiple sources in-game admit that the alliances are falling apart, and there's about 8 books about how much everyone hates eachother despite the alliances.
>>
>>43521513
>tribunal somehow allows this level of shit to go down
>>
>>43521660
Yet they still exist, and won't fall apart in the the game. Some token books telling us that they aren't too happy about it means nothing.

>>43521660
>House Dres agreeing to free all the argonian slaves
>>
>>43521706
Well, they agreed to abolish slavery post-Morrowind.
>>
>>43521513
>>43521595
I actually disagree that the ebonheart pact is a bad thing.
Personally its my favorite piece of lore that got out of ESO.

Maybe not because of its consitency with the rest of the lore but because of its uniqueness.

its like the Ottomans and the Austrians teaming up in World War 1, its just brilliant to behold, they are all so very different.

Actualy it DOES produce some good bits. Again, the Bosmer lore is almost entierly done by them and its great.
The same goes for Tthe orcs. They had very little to build on, and they expanded way beyond that. The whole Trinimac thing for example.

They also did a pretty good job with the barsaebic ayleids in black marsh.

So, I've been thinking, /tgesg/.
Since one could Fortify their Intelligence to mathematically disprove someone's existence...

And since one could simply brew 20 potions of Fortify Intelligence and Fortify Willpower...

And one could use the former or Fortify Alchemy/Enchant to make stronger potions...

Could someone use Alchemy to disprove all of their enemies existences, and/or achieve CHIM?

OK, well, could you explain what separates CHIM from Zero-summing, then?
The way I learned it, Zero summing was realizing you were in a dream and that you weren't real. Reality realizes you aren't real. You cease to exist.
CHIM would be realizing that you are in a dream, and realizing you can control the dream. E. I., Lucid dreaming.

Zero-Summing is your incapability to continue existing once you've reached the conclusion of "i am not real, nothing is real" and much like in CHIM you become able to control reality, but since you only realize that nothing exists you use your new found console commands to remove yourself from existence, while achieving CHIM you use those to anchor your existence into the world more firmly and become connected with powers that allow you to bend reality.

The ash is apparently very nutrient rich, and spreads into the soil in farther locations.
The mushrooms seem to grow in places that aren't affected by ash-storms, such as Sheogorad and other coastal regions.

As for lung disease, most people stay inside during the worst bits of it, and people normally wear protective clothing.
As for how disease works, it's possible that in TES, the local Dunmer are more resistant to it after being more exposed to it. I recall something from ESO (Yeah, I know.) that had a Nord coughing up sludge because he had never been to Vardenfell. If not, I'm sure it's something a Healer could fix.

So, logically Elsweyr would be the military powerhouse of the Dominion, right? Or is it the Altmer instead?
>>
>>43529358
Kind of hard to tell, honestly.
I suspect it might be Alinor itself, actually.

The Khajiiti forces are probably not used to their full extent either. I can't imagine the Dominion allowing Khajiits to hold especially important military positions, and the whole topic of Khajiiti warfare is so strange that only Khajiits really comprehend it.
So I can imagine the war having situations where you'd have Khajiiti fighters commanded directly or indirectly by some Altmer who cares very little for the Khajiits, and has no idea how to properly pull of mixed unit tactics.

The Khajiiti navy was probably useful though, especially in trying to keep control over the Niben.
>>
>>43529358
Hm hard to say. Naturally a lot of officers and general would be Altmer, but i can still imagine a good chunk of the military being them as well. Khajiit would definitely provide great shock troopers with the larger breeds and plenty of stealth archers. Bosmer of course for archers and skirmishers. But yah Khajiits probs give a lot of variety for the Dominion.
>>
>>43529358
I'd expect the Khajiiti cavalry and skirmishers to be placed on a more auxillarly role, given that the Thalmor's whole (public) motive as the current ruling party in Alinor is asserting racial superiority, Khajiiti tactics are nigh-incomprehensible to most military leaders, and that they (the Khajiit) are culturally disinclined to take orders from outsiders, especially those attempting to fuck the up the Lattice.

Beyond that, a calvarly unit is only useful in certain areas. While it'd be an asset in raids or assaults on places like Sphinxmoth or Nibeny, it'd be useless in rocky areas like the Reach, densely forested areas like Southern Hammerfell, or in marshy areas like Archon.

They'd also be of questionable use during sieges, given their "lightning bruiser" style of combat which favors quick movement and light armaments.
>>
>>43529570
>while it'd be an asset in raids or assaults on places like Sphinxmoth or Nibeny, it'd be useless in rocky areas like the Reach
The forested areas or marshy areas I can totally agree with, but tiger cats would probably do just fine on rocks. When you have something big and meaty like a tiger, than can rock-run like a bobcat, with human level intelligence it would likely work out in their favor.

No Bosmer male has ever actually gotten laid.
They're like forest gremlins.

The race solely exists because children racially take after their mother, and Bosmeri women will fuck anything as long as it's not a male Bosmer. In times of great need, the Bosmeri race is furthered by female Bosmer fornicating with the local Imga.

Ebony sources in Tamriel correspond to the path of the arrow of Auri-el that launched Heart of Lorkhan from Direnni Tower to Vvardenfel. This may be because ebony is Lorkhan's blood. Now think about the fact that Daedric is ceremonially imbued ebony.

Why do you think those all those dwemer ruins contain chest after chest filled with raw ebony alongside glass, which is originally not magical but volcanic. There is a reason why dwemer civilization, absolutely dependent on raw materials, was centered around Red Mountain.

Also, >>43535787 I agree with this anon. Production and import of ebony is a huge deal in Vvardenfel. It's illegal to smuggle it or trade it without serious permissions. If I were a proud Altmer of high political power like Ocato I'd also try to limit the distribution of Doom Drum's heritage. And if I were a money and power hungry warlord like Vedam Dren I'd try to establish a monopoly on raw ebony.

I also remember reading about them bringing eldritch abominations from the deep to attack summerset isles

I thought that was the Maromer

>>43536445
How involved overall have the Maomer been in Tamrielic affairs throughout history? I've seen some maps of them carving out beachhead kingdoms of what is now Eleswhyr, but I've never heard about that anywhere.

->Morrowind HD when?!

Seriously, I love Morrowind but modern games have ruined my ability to tolerate blocky graphics and reading huge blocks of text. Yes i know im a pleb.
