Lets talk about lore. Humanity's metaphysical genesis on Tamriel in a way starts with Solstheim. It's there where The First Dragonborn resisted dragons, devoured and ruled them. It was there that Snow Elves were decisively beaten and slaughtered into Oblivion. It was exactly Solstheim where the last remnants of pure Nordic culture, untainted by modernity, lived on. And is it not Solstheim where to this day Skaal hide secrets of the All-Maker from the greedy old man, Herma Mora? Yet, with time, Solstheim was lost to a rabid invasion of dark elves. Yet, local Solstheim nords still persevere in the north of the island, where elves are too weak to venture.
In the same vein, is Sancre Tor not the most mystical place in the whole of Tamriel for an Imperial? A desolate ruin, high up in the mountains where it rules over inaccessible mountain passes. Right at the border between Skyrim's cold grip, eastern Hammerfell's desolate wastes and northern Cyrodiil's infertile land, it reminds us that things were not always the same. Lost like the legendary city of Delodiil, it was the heart of Alessia's rebellion and later a temple from which Reman was born, right out of the Earth itself. And lastly, a sacred ground where Tiber Septim was buried. From the cradle of Heartland's humanity to a temple to a sacred ground, Sancre Tor now stands a mausoleum nobody visits from fear and respect. It's a place of countless holy ghosts and world warping powers sleeping, none daring to interrupt their rest atop an unapproachable mountain.
Or let's discuss something important. Imperial or Stormcloak?
Anthony Morales
Do Nords hang toilets rolls over or under?
Hunter Bell
In game, Stormcloak obviously because it's obvious that's what the narrative asks for. From the weak empire during Arena, to Talos in Morrowind saying it's time to Empire to go away and Oblivion's assassination of the last Emperor - end it now and allow secession to people in it. After all, they made it explicit - you are sent to the chopping block by Imperials and assassinate their emperor.
Regarding the lore itself, Ulfric, Tulius and Dragonborn make an Enantiomorph - just like Tiber Septim, Wulfhart and Zurin. History won't remember which one won because both sides are technically interchangeable, between the rebel and the king. So both endings are canon. Bravo Todd. Now sell me some of those sweet, sweet mods.
Eli Johnson
Rolls? They wipe with bear hands
Evan Johnson
Who is the Handmaiden in the Song of Pelinal? Is it Mara?
Ryder James
She talks about the concept of freedom as if she invented it. Then it must be Kyne, even though handmaiden is usually Mara.
Michael Wright
But it also says a lot about humility which I'm fairly sure is heavily connected with Mara. How this humility is also beloved by Akatosh and it ends in death.
Dylan Myers
I guess legends intermixed the two? Remember, Song of Pelinal is a written down version of an oral tradition based on what was told to have happened, not actual history.
Joshua Edwards
I just got really interested in this part of the lore because of VIGILANT. There was a memory of the handmaiden among other parts of the Song (like assault on the White Gold Tower). Is it explained anywhere how Pelinal traveled through time?
Aiden Myers
>Is it explained anywhere how Pelinal traveled through time? In actual lore, no. Nu-Kirkbride post Skyrim, just a bit. But it doesn't matter since it's easy to assume the same thing - he doesn't age, meaning he wandered thru time until he got killed, only to be brought back again. How? Because Magna-Ge and Kyne rebuilt him and since he was rebuilt out of time, he knew what would transpire once put back at a certain point.
Samuel Torres
Alternatively (or complementary) he's a self aware Shezzarine, meaning he felt and knew things normal people didn't. Maybe he was connected to the Dreamsleve and recieved knowledge he shouldn't have.
Aaron Cook
Knowledge wouldn't really explain his battle prowess or supposed indestructibility. There must be more to him.
Landon Lee
>we will never get a metaphysical TES game because most people expect TES games to be generic fantasy now
Great job Bethesda. First you make the most uninspired thing ever with Oblivion and the BIG NEW THING with TES5 was fucking dragons. How creative
Grayson Sanders
>tfw no scifi game set on the moon in the fifth era
Easton Myers
Imagine the shitstorm if Bethesda came out with a Scifi game for TESVI, would be glorious to see but bound to be shit
Owen Garcia
>it's like fallout on moon
Isaac Gomez
Considering how close the moons are to Tamriel, how big would Nirn look like on Masser's sky?
John Hill
I don't don't want that shit. I like TES because it takes an interesting take on generic fantasy but fuck this god damn lasers and moon colonies shit and space ships.
Blake Hall
I don't know. Hjalti, Wulfharth, and Zurin make that because they embody the "Thief, Warrior, and Mage" triangle. The Last Dragonborn can be anything but Ulfric and Tulius are both warrior-archetypes. Besides we both know Bethesda won't do that. It'll probably be some generic shit like the Last Dragonborn saving the Empire and then they died.
Jaxson Ortiz
>Thief, Warrior, and Mage I'm in the camp that primacy in Enantiomorph comes from Warrior - Rebel - Observer. Warrior and Rebel are interchangeable so Ulfric and Tulius do fit.
Evan Brooks
That's an interesting way of thinking about it, makes sense.
Jayden Gonzalez
Why not try something inbetween? Like you can still have swords and all that stuff but in space, would be something original for once
Why on earth would you need swords when you have laser guns? If TES ever went full sci-fi it may as well just be another Fallout game.
Thomas Ramirez
>ShoddyCast I'm kill myself before following his take on the lore. If you want good lore vids, check Zaric instead.c
Jayden Walker
thanks for the recommendation, I tried watching a few videos of Shoddyscast but I didn't like them in terms of presentation and already could make out some inaccuracies with my less than basic understanding of the lore so I was looking for an alternative
Brayden Reyes
All I've ever played is the first dungeon in Arena, but for some reason I really enjoy reading the gibberish in TES lore threads.
Zachary Long
I also only played the first dungeon in Arena. I don't enjoy those early TES games. Morrowind is that one hit wonder that I really love.
William Carter
I don't know why they went full retard with Skyrim. Morrowind is pretty timeless in my opinion because it offers true sandbox gameplay. The later TES games do not allow you to be as creative. Here's hoping the next TES game is Black Marsh, I seriously do not want to see the "generuc sand kingdom" I know Hammerfell will be.
Juan Brown
If you like unrestrained babbling about TES lore you need to watch the Selectives Lorecast. It's the most informative and enjoyably confusing thing on the matter. youtube.com/watch?v=_hrCDCVWoew
Austin Gray
Take the CHIMpill
Wyatt Fisher
Not aware of most racial lore, can someone explain bretons to me?
Joseph Reed
>Selectives Lorecast is unrestrained babbling That's right. But you need to keep in mind this is a cabal, a circlejerk of liberal faggots who suck dick with Kirkbride. It's good to get your nogging jogging, but it's not official lore in any capacity.
Isaiah Mitchell
Fuck Marry Kill
Hunter Roberts

Kill all three.
Eli Rodriguez
So where did the sload come from and where are they now? Will we ever get to see the other types of khajiit? How are the existence of akaviri species explained?
Andrew Evans
Kirk is literally everything wrong with the lore.
Ryder Walker
is multiplayer canon?
Luke Peterson
Not on consoles, it ain't. On PC, kind of since there are so many legends and stories, player character did everything and nothing at the same time by the virtue of heroes not being bound by common history.
It's important to appreciate that the metaphysical aspect of TES came in many ways from explaining player character without breaking the meta wall so "CHIM is console" shit doesn't fly even though it could be used to explain stuff done by console.
Jordan Bennett

Elijah Ross
c0da makes it canon
Jeremiah Miller
lol
Juan Price
Are there any maid mods made for larping, at least in the dialogue department and maybe a few changed quests? I don't wanna be the dragonborn. I wanna be an argonian maid.
Camden Torres
Canon good TES games: Daggerfall just so RPG crawler fans shut up already Redguard because I'm a hipster Morrowind since it's my religion Skyrim has sexy argonians so it counts, too
Adrian Cook

What's that thing in the lower middle?
Michael Richardson
Imperial nobility is known for having mixed with Akaviri dragonguard after Reman picked them up in Pale Pass. Having face features not seen in Tamrielic humans is a sign of pure aristocratic blood now, some 1800 years after these men disappeared in the gene pool.
Evan Walker

Nathan Hernandez
Shit man. Must be horrible to be fucked by damn near everyone and can do nothing but be conscious through all of it. Some real " I have no mouth and I must scream" shit.
Charles Green
Fuck Alma, kill Vivec, marry based cyborg elf.
Nolan Green
Why not fuck Molag Bal instead?
Charles Bennett
You don't fuck Molag Bal. Molag Bal rapes you.
Tyler Thompson
The problem is to use Black Marsh they'd either have to completely shit on the lore or create some sjw tier plot were the white man burned down their forest and you must set out on a quest to get it back from their imperial oppressors.
Jaxson Lee

Noah Torres
It dragged on for too long and became a bit too self-indulgent if you ask me.
Ethan Gomez

Kevin Moore
I think the artist forgot the original plotline.
Parker Edwards
>forgot The thoughts slowly conform to the actions of the body over the course of the comic.
Juan Lewis
this is some horror movie shit right here. Slowly losing your original self to your new body
Liam Collins
Without any hint of resistance there's not much going for it then.
But I'm guessing that in itself is the fetish.
Isaiah Morris
He faded to black like a bitch and Orgnar got turned into a Khajiit
