It's too ESO-centric isn't it? Or is it the red text being hard to read?

It's just bad.
Stormhaven, Ravenspire and possibly Bangkorai are ESO-only.

What time period are you even going for?
>>
>>49164256
Post-Daggerfall ofcourse, considering it was a mess of small kingdoms before the Warp in the West.

How did ESO explain that anyway?
>>
>>49164270
>post warp in the west
Just look at the sources, you dingus. It's not like this is hard.
Wayrest controls the Bay from Anticlere and eastwards to the western half of Gavaudon. Dagggerfall controls the western Bay from their border in Anticlere to Ykalon further north. Nova Orsinium controls most of the Wrothgarians and most of the Bjoulsae, stretching into the mountains of Hammerfell. The other areas, like the far north near Nortpoint, and the Western Reach, are probably still fragmented.

Why is the heart at waist level?
>>
>>49164539
Uriel V was cool as fuck.
>Uriel V, Cephorus II's son and successor, swivelled opinion back toward the latent power of the Empire. Turning the attention of Tamriel away from internal strife, Uriel V embarked on a series of invasions beginning almost from the moment he took the throne in 3E268. Uriel V conquered Roscrea in 271, Cathnoquey in 276, Yneslea in 279, and Esroniet in 284. In 3E288, he embarked on his most ambitious enterprise, the invasion of the continent kingdom of Akavir. This ultimately proved a failure, for two years later Uriel V was killed in Akavir on the battlefield of Ionith. Nevertheless, Uriel V holds a reputation second only to Tiber as one of the two great Warrior Emperors of Tamriel.

There are some more indirect reference in other texts. Nothing in-depth that I know of.
>>
Here's a note from TIL that I found fun.
Morrowind had just come out, and Ted Peterson was answering fan questions:

>By the way, when asked [after Morrowind] if he would make a book about Scotti that takes place in Akavir, Ted "Tedders" Peterson replied thus: "What a suggestion. Poor Scotti barely survived the Bosmer! Throw him in with immortal vampire snake thingies? That’s too sadistic even for Waughin Jarth, who, between The Asylum Ball, The Wolf Queen, Feyfolken, and A Dance In Fire, is pretty well-known for his dark humor... If Uriel V’s army was decimated in Akavir, what are the chances of Scotti lasting five minutes?
>On the other hand, I’m pretty sure Jarth did write a series about him in Black Marsh... If I can find a copy of it to translate it into Cyrodilic..."

And in Oblivion, we got The Argonian Account.
>>
>>49164669
I don't know, and I don't particularly care.

In my limited ESO knowledge, I think High Rock is still supposed to be fragmented, but King Emeric of Wayrest is the leading king and the Breton representative in the Covenant.

They say that? AFAIK all they say is 'Mournhold. City of light, city of magic.'

I like it a lot when they say that though, makes the place sound so cool.

It's one of those places I really wanna see again in a newer engine, with lots of NPCs to show Mournhold's active nightlife.

>>
>>49165766
Daggerfall and Camlorn are implied to have been unified by marriage before the events of Daggerfall.

And at least as far as I can tell, Camlorn was something made after the events of Daggerfall. I can't even search up a town of the same name in any kingdom I checked.
>>
>>49165883
>Camlorn was something made after the events of Daggerfall
Probably, but we wouldn't see it anyway. It's not on the Bay.
>>
>>49165783
Here's how the Warp in the West put it:

>Wayrest spreads across the eastern coast of the Bay, stretching from the land formerly called Anticlere to half of Gauvadon [sic]. Eadwyre has passed on to his ancestors, leaving his kingdom in the hands of his daughter, Elysana, who has two children by her royal consort, and seems likely to hold her father's lands. Your Lordship may also choose to communicate directly with King Helseth and Queen Barenziah in Mournhold. Their primary preoccupations are, of course, with Morrowind's affairs, but they may still have useful observations upon Wayrest's ruling families and political environment that may aid you in your understanding of the court of Queen Elysana.
>King Gortwog of Orsinium controls much of the Wrothgarian Mountains as well as the profitable rivercoast of the Bjoulsae. He persists in his demands that Orsinium be recognized as an Imperial province separate from High Rock. The Elder Council treats Gortwog as a recognized king, and collects taxes directly from Orsinium, but officially Orsinium remains a county of High Rock, though technically it spans both the provinces of High Rock and Hammerfell.
>Sentinel has gained the most land, sprawling across the entire southern Iliac Bay from Abibon-Gora, beyond the Dragontail Mountains, to the edge of Mournoth, Orsinium's territory. >Queen Akorithi at her death left her enormous kingdom to her only surviving son, Lhotun, who is now surely one of the most powerful kings in Tamriel.
>Daggerfall is still ruled by the Breton King Gothryd and the Redguard Queen Aubk-I. Their land now encompasses all of western High Rock, from the border they share with Wayrest at Anticlere to the east, to Ykalon to the north. They have four children now, and are much beloved in their realm.
>>
>>49165913
Oh fuck, you're right. I'm a humongous faggot who didn't realize it was in Arena.
>>
>>49165933
>King Gortwog of Orsinium controls much of the Wrothgarian Mountains
>Wrothgarians reach into Phrygias
>>
>>49165980
It never says he controlled all of the Wrothgarian Mountains. It's kind of a point of doubt if he controls Phrygias, because the Daggerfall area stretches up to Ykalon, but it doesn't mention if Ykalon borders Wayrest or Orsinium.
>>
>>49165879
Yeah, If I were to worship any Daedra it would be Azura or Sanguine simply because those afterlives.
>>
>>49165727
Malacath is an obvious choice for the next ES game because it's gonna be shit.
>>
>>49165883
Camlorn was in Arena

Are Arena/Daggerfall worth playing?
>>
>>49166478
Yes, or at least Daggerfall.
I like both, but Arena is more skippable.

I'd say so yes.
Both games are completely clunky and archaic though so just know what you're getting into.

>>49166478
Arena is alright if you don't mind not being able to change controls. Daggerfall is good if you like a challenge.
>>
>>49166478
Arena is easier to get into, playing it will help you get acquainted with Daggerfall.

>caution, cars might spontaneously self-combust

>>49166036
It's not stated, but I believe Orcish control is much more likely than it being under Wayrest, given the fact that part of the Wrothgarians lie in it, and that it's not on the Bay.
>>
>>49167255
>>49166036
See
>>49166544
>>
>>49167294
That map is based on the same sources we're talking about. There's nothing that specifically mentions who owns Phrygias. The map is just the guess at someone over at UESP.
And before anyone mentions that it might be in the Daggerfall Companion, I've read that thing, and it's not there.

Either way, it's not super important, I just think it falling to the Orcs is the most reasonable assumption.
>>
>>49166544
The Warp in the West clearly says that Orsinium gets the Bjoulsae river and Mournoth, causing it to stretch across High Rock and into Hammerfell.
>>

Given that Wayrest is said to 'spread across the eastern coast,' I'm willing to concede that.

The real question is this:
Why do you even care?
>>
>>49171983
Purely because I've never heard any stormcloak players make a serious case beyond screaming about talos and freedom and shit, then when you ask them how the stormcloaks will handle the entire freaking dominion marching into skyrim, they suspiciously stop replying. I know there has to be at least some stormcloak supporters out there who have thought things through, and I'd like to hear from them.
>>
>>49171898
The Stormcloaks winning might be a good thing, it might be a bad thing. The Empire winning might be a good thing, it might be a bad thing. The future is uncertain, but Bethesda clearly wanted to present the war as having no "right" side The player choosing who they think is right or wrong based off of their personal opinion. An opinion based off of in game experiences. Off of what you hear, what you see and what you read about each side.

I personally side with the Stormcloaks.
>>
>>49172040
>how the stormcloaks will handle the entire freaking dominion marching into skyrim
The same way Hammerfell handled them.
>>
>>49171955
When did Talos say that?
>>
>>49172154
in marrorwang
>>
>>49172040
What is the "correct" choice not a question that has an answer until Bethesda determines the future of Tamriel.
As of now, it's only really a question of roleplaying, and what certain characters would support.
>>
>>49172097
>The same way Hammerfell handled them.
Not the same situation. Hammerfell fought a smaller army that was never reinforced because the imperial legions and reinforcements from skyrim started pushing back in Cyrodiil. Do you really think a lone Cryrodiil will be able to fight off the dominion when the entire united empire almost lost the first time? Don't compare apples and oranges.
>>49172075
>The outcome of things might be good or bad, and my choice is based off my thoughts and experiences.
>my choice is based off my experience
Yeah, thanks for that, because that's not true of literally every single person who's ever played the game or anything.

What I was looking for was more specific examples as to why.

>>
>>49172338
>the entire united empire almost lost the first time?
Depends on who you ask. Like I said in my other post >mfw I got 2 (you)'s what you think is based off of what you experienced. Some NPCs are optimistic about the AD's power during the great war, others are more pessimistic about it. Stormcloaks (such as myself) believes the Empire didn't almost lose the great war, they almost won it, or I should say, they almost won it unconditionally. They blame the Empire's poor leadership for the white gold concordat, not the Thalmor's strength. Again, it depends on what you read/hear/see in game.
>>

Jesus Christ how uninteresting.

What do we know about the legality of Deadric Cults in various regions of Tamriel at various points in time. Some regions obviously allow it, like Morrowind, Orsinium, and Elsweyr, but in the Empire it's more interesting. The first ed of the Pocket Guide has the "16 acceptable Blasphemes", and invocations to all the Princes.
The idea of an Imperial City with the Nine Divines, Deadra Cults, and various local and foreign cults all co-existing is pretty interesting.

Also, Lawrence "Loremeister" Schick posts on /r/teslore now. Sometomes.
Barring ESO, I miss developer interaction with the fanbase. It was so much more common in the past, and it barely happens now. Especially not with active developers. ESO is the only branch of TES that's currently interacting with places like /r/teslore and The Imperial Library.

Depends on who you ask. I remember hearing an NPC say something about how the Empire stabbed all the people who worked so hard driving the elves out of Cyrodiil in the back by signing the treaty. How they could have invaded the Dominion and finished them off.

Whether the signing of the white gold concordat was the right thing to do is a very controversial subject to say the least.

I almost wonder if Skyrim doesn't allow it to some extent. Think of all the daedric shrines around skyrim, huge conspicuous things that aren't exactly hidden.

I believe Legate Justianus Quintius is considerably more more reliable than some ass-backwards Nord.
It's like asking a high-ranking member of the German military, who has done research using sources from both sides, and some random civilian, about why Germany lost the Great War. One of the will know the reality of the situation, and the other will grumble something about "muh dagger in muh back" and "muh jews".
>>
>>49172792
Okay... How about the Imperial officers, many of whom fought in the great war, who say that the empire needs to be united for the next war?

How about General Tullius, the man with access to all imperial reports about aldmeri strengt, saying that Skyrim alone could never beat the dominion alone?

This.

Nah, it was someone who used to in the Imperial Legion, someone who fought in the great war.

I don't think someone like Galmar Stone-Fist would just rebel against the Empire based off of nothing. Clearly he believes an independent Skyrim has a chance against the Thalmor. The Civil war is a lot like a schism within the Empire's military.

>Clearly he believes an independent Skyrim has a chance against the Thalmor
And the fact that he believes that doesn't mean he's right in that belief. His actions aren't based off nothing, but that doesn't mean the base is worth anything.

Clearly someone in the Japanese Navy though they would win in the Pacific, but that doesn't mean the war was ever realistically winnable. Clearly someone in the German military though the Great War wasn't actually a colossal defeat for Germany.

Furthermore, the fact that something is controversial doesn't mean that there isn't a correct answer. The vaccines are somehow controversial several places, but all that doubt isn't really going to alter the reality of the situation.

That said, I'm open to agreeing to disagree here. The topic really doesn't interest me, and I'd hate it for another Civil War discussion to dominate part of the thread.

Exactly. Just because Justianus Quintius believes something doesn't make it the right belief either. It's a matter of who the player believes. There's no obsolete right or wrong side.

Not him, but doesn't it make more sense to believe the imperials in this case? You can either take the word of trained and educated professional soldiers, whose information comes from a network of elite spies, versus the majority opinions of the Nords, who have two schools in their entire province.

Adding to this that Justianus Quintius commanded an entire Legion during the war, and has spent time in the aftermath writing a book about it. In that process, he has read documents from both sides, heard the statements of prisoners, and interviewed survivors.

They're about the lore.
But there's this one guy who keeps arguing that because some information comes from the games, it doesn't count since bethesda said the games are just an interpretation of the lore.
It's extremely annoying to talk with him because he just dismisses ingame accounts due to this.

When people say these threads are about the lore not the games, it means we don't care if the town only has 5 houses, as lore cities we know are actually bigger.

One way or another, the Empire is clearly fucked.
That's not to say that the Stormcloaks would necessarily succeed in staying independent post-game, but the way things are going the Empire isn't going to last much longer.
(Hell, the best hope the Stormcloaks have is if the Empire can't respond adequately to succession because somebody just offed the Emperor, and that's a very faction-dependent outcome.)
The most frustrating thing about the game's storyline is the fact that you can't just jump up and say, 'look, assholes, the Elves ARE PLAYING YOU BOTH!!!'
>>
>>49173762
>One way or another, the Empire is clearly fucked.
Are they? Because Tullius admits the empire will be attacking the dominion again soon, and humans breed a lot faster than elves, so the empire has an advantage when it comes to recovering from attrition.

You do know that McClellan and Patton, despite winning their respective theaters in the war, were considered batshit crazy because they thought they could just push right on and win the next war, right?
And, as I said, they actually WON their wars, unlike Mr. Tullius.
Just saying, maybe his opinion on the war isn't as clear and unbiased as you think.
>>
>>49173918
>tullius lost
Tullius wasn't a general during the Great War.
How about the population issue? Humans breed a lot faster than Mer, so in the time since the great war, humanity has had time to bring up another generation of soldiers. The Mer likely haven't. They took enormous casualties, same as the empire, but they replace their losses slower.

I liked that Morrowind had a community which was from the dominant race of the province but with a distinct culture which is rejected by their "civilized" kinsmen: the Ashlanders.

In Skyrim, the Forsworn and Orcs were interesting as groups of outcasts, but weren't Nords, and the Skaal were far away from Skyrim proper.

What would have been interesting is to have clans of Nords that live in the isolated areas, maybe on the islands in the Sea of Ghosts, being very conservative, having a distinct religion, their own gear, maybe also trade with the giants directly.

Nah, I hope they never do it. The next TES is going to be so dumbed down you won't even believe it.

Going by Fallout 4, it'll have no skills and you'll just get a 'perk' per level up instead. Every character will be a mage-warrior-thief by default, the degree of ability in each area determined by the feats chosen during play.

I really doubt they can dumb down much more and still have people buy the games. As far as I know, after the initial hype died down, Fallout4 was just sort of there. It was their only game in a long streak that lost GOTY. I'm sure they realized they did some things wrong with it, and Bethesda has always looked at the community, either from looking at top mods and implementing them, or even directly interacting with the fans.
They also came out and said they're waiting for hardware to advance before they do the next Elder Scrolls game, so I do have faith they can pull it out.

A third of the game set in a doomed province as the Thalmor win, next act in the new kalpa where the PC is the only one to remember/survive/transition the last kalpa and finds the key gods reborn/changed from the last one to revert it while fighting Thalmor leaders-become-gods, and a final third of the game that mashes both kalpas together in a new kalpa that combines the best of both worlds and serves to reboot the series.
The time problem is essentially creating 2 provinces that could have their own games from scratch and then choosing the elements to combine into a third single game-sized section.
And yet that's not even accounting for the New Akavir landmass DLC or the Shades of Ald Tamriel quest DLC.
Malacath/Trinimac, Vivec, Talos, and the Hist are the key gods. Talos does a Lorkhan to unmake-remake the world for humanity to have a better shot than the middle Kalpa will allow. The Hist have something to do with kalpa changing or surviving. Vivec fills an Azura-like role for the PC. Malacath/Trinimac also helps by doing something to change the PC to survive all kalpic changes.

Honestly the series has moved away from the aspects that most of us here would like and just simplified and dumbed down many others. I wouldn't be shocked if large chunks of lore don't end up missing as they continue to simplify the story for that all encompassing "broader audience".

By Ius folks, have some hope. Fallout has always been less important to Bethesda than Elder Scrolls. Skyrim had a lot of (good) lore, especially about the First Era, just like Morrowind had a lot of lore about the Resdayn era.

Deepest lore.
>>
>>49184295
No. My main problem with this is that we've had no indication that lack of worship makes a god weaker, mostly because whenever a god falls out of favor, it's either because they were mantled or they're now worshiped under a different name, with the same essential ideas. Shezzar's probably the best example of this, since many of his traits were rolled up into Talos. So if Ebonarm still exists, he's probably worshiped under a different name, or was possibly rolled into Talos as well.

And also, the Dragonborn is not a demigod. He's been blessed by Akatosh, sure, but there have been many people considered Dragonborn, and the ability to shout is still practiced among normal humans. You only meet the Ebony Warrior after about level 80. It's obviously Bethesda's way to reward you for actually playing that long in such a meh leveling system with little reward for all that effort - I mean, the Ebony Warrior is just a great hero and will only challenge you after you reach his level.

>There are very old warriors, survivors of Uriel V's ill-fated invasion, and they told me what they saw. I stand by my descriptions that the Akavir Potentates were serpentine, not only in temperament, but in physical appearance. Even if I did not have witnesses, there are too many descriptions of them as snakes to assume that all writers used the same metaphor. There is much in Redguard history which suggests ancient connections to the Tsaesci as well. Not only are many of the greatest heroes clearly influenced by Akaviri as well as Redguard culture - Gaiden Shinji, for example - But the whole cult of Satakal and the dungeon called Fang Lair... It is too coincidental. We are a rare generation in Tamriel, when few of us have seen any denizen of Akavir. I suspect that we're lucky in that. The Maormer are a minor race, and don't interest me at all.

MK used to have a little print store where you could buy signed stuff, but that's not around anymore.

DeviantArt has some method for buying prints, I think, so that could be a way to get fanart from there printed.

>>49184677
>So if Ebonarm still exists, he's probably worshiped under a different name, or was possibly rolled into Talos as well
This is basically how I see it. Ebonarm worship was likely based in Reman worship to begin with. While his worship would persist long enough after the Cyrodiilic Dynasty to sort of become its own thing, it likely fell out of favor with the spread of Talos worship.

Oh Joy.
>but muh mountain climbing and least-used spells, I /needed/ those in the game
Sure anon, sure.
I don't love the lack of magic crafting, but let's not pretend everything taken out from oblivion that didn't get into skyrim was the most beloved aspect of TES. It's just silly. Who the fuck used damage-stamina/magic/health outside of enchanting? They didn't even have permanence, only the "drain" version of those spells did. Not a significant loss in the slightest, same with /most/ other things. Hell if anything many spells are easier to use because there's no hard limit to try and use it.
>skill/magicka too low to acquire this spell
Now at least you can buy it, use it if you have enough juice and it's not a charge spell. I prefer that to "no sorry you have to be this good to buy.
>>
>>49187165
You need skill levels to buy spells though, dingus. And expert and master destruction spells are unaffordable if you don't cheese cost reduction through enchanting.

I loved Skyrim and I hate /v/ memes but magic has been axed pretty hard.

I absolutely agree that magic took a hit, spellcrafting was my shit, and I miss the levitation/frog jump spells of yesteryear even now.
I think I may have mixed the enchanting/spellcrafting level blockers with the not-enough-magicka one, but my point stands for the concept itself
>be level 15 in destruction with base magicka
>can still enchant things without needing to be good at the school associated with that effect, even if it's a powerful enchantment
Example:I'm a high level in enchanting but shit at magic in general, in oblivion I'd only be able to make shitty enchantments, because I'm not good at what the effects skill is coming from, like the fire effect from the destruction school. But I'm not trying to cast the spell, just enchant an effect. This wasn't an issue in morrowind, and it isn't in skyrim either. It's an arbitrary limitation that came out of no where, and it's annoying.
>expert and master destruction spells are unaffordable if you don't cheese cost reduction through enchanting.
Monetary cost or magicka cost?
By the time I get to the 80's and 90's in skill I've got 10,000 or so gold pretty consistently, and expert/master spells only cost 1-2 thousand at the very most.
Magicka is usually pretty good, I level my health and magic reserved evenly for Mage builds, so with the mages circlet and archmages robes I'm usually set for the expert/master lightning and Mage-armor. I don't know if I just stumbled onto an effective build or if I'm just really fucking patient, but it never seemed like an issue for me. Hell even in oblivion I didn't mind how things worked that much, because I maimed destruction so by the time I could buy and make spells and such, I was a high enough level to do it without "lol no git gud, try later" popping up. I just don't love the concept of arbitrary things being hard barriers is all.
And arguing is fun, I wouldn't be on this site if I didn't enjoy it somewhat.
>>
>>49187686
the enchanting limitations in oblivion aren't arbitrary though. Filled soul gems were much more common in that game so there needed to be some limitation and because there was no enchanting skill it makes sense for the enchantment in a school to rely on your skill in that school.
otherwise you could have INT 30 barbarians that have never cast a spell in their life enchanting master level magical equipment. That doesn't make sense.

The 'degeneration' of the Falmer is merely the path to some form of superpower. They're actually upgrading. The Dwemer set this timebomb way back in the First Era to eventually get revenge on the Nords.

"UN"bound to the Earth, as in no longer bound to the physical world.
They're just words of comfort. Basically what the Dwemer are saying is, 'yeah, we know going blind will be frightening, but hey, at least you won't have to see this terrible world anymore.'
>>
>>49189026
Look at my comparisons, it appears to at least superficially be a translation.
For example, every sentence that starts with "We" in the translation begins with "Nu" in Falmeris and "Du" in Dwemeris.
"And" seems to correspond to "Ye" in Falmeris, and "Th" in Dwemeris.
"Your" probably corresponds with "Sou" in Falmeris.
"As" is "Ry" in Falmeris and "Ur" in Dwemeris.

It would be possible to work out some very basic and speculative dictionary of known Falmer and Dwemer words from this.

The only reason a dwemer would still be around is if they did what Yagrum did: not be in the mortal plane when kagrenac ruined everything. Otherwise the game would have to be pre-fuck-up. Not against that itself, but it's not likely to ever happen.
>>

>So are we able to translate from Falmer to Dwemer to English now?
Maybe, in a very limited sense.
Looking briefly at what we have, there's only a few words that we can me more or less certain about what mean, and for the other words we just kind of have to guess their meaning from context. And even then it's a limited vocabulary.

Every character I make I roleplay, so I've sided with the Empire and Stormcloaks each numerous times.

For my Stormcloak characters, a Redguard Sword-Singer, a Khajiit Renrirja Krin terrorist, and a Nord Fryse Hag, the general thinking was the following:

Why is the Empire remaining in power a GOOD thing??

Let's look at what the Empire is:
>Is a nation that allowed a greedy corrupt tyrant, a dragon, and a Slaad necromancer who was actively and openly stealing souls of the citizenry keep power after the three aided in the conquest of Hammerfell.
>Is a place where National Security is so piss-poor, that a SINGLE Wizard was able to take control of the entire country. Where the Emperor was easily assassinated by cultists.
>The wizard who took over was an incompitant leader. This revealed that the Empire's government system is SO centralized that a SINGLE incompitant leader ruling for a mere DECADE almost caused the ENTIRE EMPIRE to collapse into smaller warring states. Valenwood was almost overrun by mere SPIDERS during this reign for Kynareth's sake!!
>Is a land that only recognized a race of people as PEOPLE after those people forcibly took over their own lands and a massive time-space crisis occurred.
>Is a land that tried to use a spy to impersonate an entire religion's messiah-figure for the express purpose of overthrowing the leadership of a province and assert more dominance over it.
>Illegally annexed land from Elswyr (most important to my Khajiit character).
>Is a land where the Counts are free to be as tyrannical as they like.
>Had a Countess who wasted her taxpayers money on priceless Akaviri artifacts, with the game Oblivion firmly establishing that excess tax and fines are levvied against the poor.
>Had a Count who absconded his responsibilities in order to be the ruler of a criminal organization.
>>
>>49191445
>Had (and still might have for all we know) a Count who was a Vampire, fed on his own subjects, and who had a secret room in his wine cellar where he DRAINED THE BLOOD OF HIS VICTIMS as his own personal supply of "wine".
>Had a racist Countess who was so vile she abducted Argonians and Khajiits off the streets to torture to death in her secret torture chamber.
>Is a nation that, when faced with the Oblivion Crisis, WITHDREW its military from ALL surrounding provinces, provinces that it dominates and taxes on a regular basis, in order to protect a single province. This royally screwed over Morrowind.
>Did nothing to aid the people of Morrowind after the Oblivion Crisis and the Red Year, events that were even worse for Morrowind.
>Is a nation currently controlled by such a spineless Emperor that he just ACCEPTS being assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood without a fight, PERFECTLY WILLING to throw his own PEOPLE into the chaos and discord of a succession crisis.
>Is a nation that sold out an entire people, the Redguards, merely to protect their favored province.
>Is a nation inept enough to accept a peace treaty CLEARLY designed to cause insurrection in the Empire in two of its four remaining provinces.
>Is a nation where segregation is allowed to the extent where cities are allowed to ban minorities from the insides of cities, even in extreme climates.
>Is a nation that will gladly put a corrupt, criminal-controlling politician in charge of Riften, if given the opportunity.
>Is a nation that allows known foreign spies the freedom to OPENLY and ACTIVELY operate within its borders, once again tying into the Empire is Useless when it comes to National Security theme.
>>
>>49191473
Now, I've found most pro-Empire people tend to just wave these concerns aside. So what if the Empire lets their nobles LITERALLY eat civilians?? They're supposedly the ONLY THING stopping the Thalmor from their plots!!

Except that's not true. Hammerfell alone was capable of defeating the Aldmeri Dominion. If the Stormcloaks win, while they may not be the best people to run Skyrim, you'll have FOUR independent, anti-Empire, anti-Thalmor countries that are actually willing to NOT bend over and let a foreign nation actively conduct espionage within their borders: Black Marsh, Morrowind, Hammerfell, and Skyrim. TWO of these nations, Black Marsh and Hammerfell, have already proven THEY are at least equal, if not BETTER, than the Empire at fighting the Thalmor. Granted, Morrowind is in terrible straights and not likely to help much against the Thalmor, and are never going to work with Black Marsh, but breaking the Empire's power, based on how terrible and corrupt the Empire is, is not a bad thing, especially when there are TWO OTHER nations PERFECTLY CAPABLE of fighting the Thalmor.

Daedric princes seems the most likely bet, but the dwemer don't like them either. And if it was who would be the One?
>>
>>49191778
It is the princes
>What set me on this path was a portion of the Dunmeri Apographa, Nerevar at Red Mountain. In it, Dumac swore by the "fifteen-and-one golden tones". This caught my eye, and set me to thinking about the Profane Tools and Kagrenac's title, Chief Tonal Architect. The Tools are said to have brought forth a tone from the Heart, which was then manipulated, either to imprint powers on the bearer of the Tools, or to shape the enchantments. Sunder rendered a single pure tone, and Keening shattered this into lesser tones, most likely fifteen. This explains their source.

>But why fifteen? The answer lies not in the Heart, or even on Mundus, but without. The Daedric Princes. Although most people view there as being sixteen, Malacath is not truly a Daedric Prince, merely a corrupted hero-god. Thus, originally only fifteen Daedric Princes dwelt in Oblivion. Why are the linked to the Heart? Because the Heart deals with energy, the province of Change and Padomay, the realm of the Daedra. All together, the tones form a single pure tone, the original voice of Padomay. Each sub-tone represents a unique form of Change, which the Daedric Princes rule over.

so the dunmer swear on the heart, that's adorably psychotic.
>>
>>49191534
Let me guess. You're one of those that believes that a Legion of soldiers defecting to help Hammerfell was (without evidence) all part of the Empire's GRAND MASTER PLAN to protect Hammerfell.

Because the SAME Empire that let Morrowind burn to protect Cyrodiil during the Oblivion Crisis, Red Year, and Argonian Invasion would CLEARLY care about protecting Hammerfell.

N'wah, please.

>>49191754
>ESO acknowledging space travel

What dimension is this?
>>
>>49191915
>being this angry over something so unimportant
>comparing two incomparable events
>baseless strawman
Behave, please.

It's fairly simple. Hammerfell only had to face a part of the Dominion army during the Great War, while the rest was active in Cyrodiil.
At the end of the Great War, the Dominion was not only sapped for strength, but now had to fight another war the length of the Great War against gorilla Redguards in the desert. Without a land border, and without any time to rebuild and recuperate from the greatest war in recent history.

Would Hammerfell have won if the Dominion wasn't still bleeding from the Great War? We won't ever know, and I don't particularly care. But it's fairly ignorant to press the illusion that Hammerfell's war somehow happened in a vacuum, just to prove some irrelevant political point.

Saying that Hammerfell won and ignoring the importance of the Great War is like ignoring the effect of the Red Year on the Argonian Invasion.

I don't even give a shit about the civil war aspect. But there's things in there that are just factually wrong. Even if you so "eloquently" put it with all those ALL CAPS WORDS.

>blatant disregard for changing time periods
Yes, Tiber Septim was sort of a shit. But what does that matter? It's not like the action of one ruler at one time set any eternal precedent for how a state behaves. Care about the current Emperor.

>everything about Tharn
You do realise that Tharn was purposefully destroying the Empire, right? He not only wanted the provinces to rip themselves apart, he actively worked to see it happen. This is essential to the plot of Arena and Shadowkey.

>Illegally annexed land from Elswyr
Leyawiin was originally a human settlement, and the annexation in newer history was a legal agreement between the Empire and the Mane's ownership. The Krin directly oppose the Mane, so it's not a question of the legality of the annexation.

>Oblivion Crisis
Yes, the Potentate left Morrowind on its own to save the seat of the Empire. The actual effect of this is actually likely overstated, since the presence of the Legion in Morrowind wouldn't have changed the situation much. It was largely a political crisis, not a military one. At least the Dunmer got the independence they wanted.
The Empire isn't really responsible for what happened afterwards, since Morrowind seceded.
>>
>>49192356
>Morrowind after the Oblivion Crisis
Morrowind wasn't part of the Empire anymore.

>spineless Emperor that he just ACCEPTS being assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood without a fight
What was the old man going to do? Besides, he has had his time as a warrior, like when he wielded Goldbrand and fought the Dominion.

Also, from a rolelplaying perspective, I doubt any character would know or care about most of these. The actions of some Count in another province two centuries ago wouldn't affect some random Nord much, if she even knew about it. It's just a bunch of points I'd consider largely invalid for any normal character.
But hey, if this is how you roleplay, I won't stop you.
>>
>>49192232
Sai leaving Morrowind between the events of Morrowind and Skyrim would explain why things went so shit for them, and why Skyrim was left almost unscathed by the war. But Sai never struck me as a warrior, and you'd think they would've included a similar character in Oblivion.

Why do you even care? I'd rather leave it hanging, or even get a no, than get a yes. Otherwise I'd have to learn what the Nerevarine's been doing, and where the Agent went to, and what happened to the Eternal Champion, but most importantly, you'd get all the people who think TLD's going to be the next Emperor in an uproar if a hero is confirmed to survive and leave an impact on the world beyond their game.

This reminds me of the idea some anon threw here the other day, about the Falmer being degenerated by the Dwemer to the point of having white souls and the Dwemer contraptions being powered by them, instead of by Lorkhan's heart like in Morrowind (or something like that). It fits with the whole text.

Noob question: Have Dwemer (except Yagrum) ever saw the Chimer as Dunmer?
>>
>>49201828
They all disappeared right before the Tribunal used the Heart, so no, other than Captain Corprus, no Dwemer have seen them ashskins.
>>
>>49201975
Why is captain corpus so fucking fat?
Is that just how the disease reacts to Dwemer?

And a probably obvious question of where did those pesky dwarves go? Did they CHIM themselves out of existence like I heard?
>>
>>49201998
They definitely didn't zero sum because evidence of them exists everywhere.
Yagrum survived because he was in a different plane when all the dwarves disappeared.
My guess is the live in their own pocket universe that they created. Its very unlikely that they just died.
But nobody really knows.

Give me your Kothringi headcanon, /tgesg/, here's mine:

Kothringi are Anuic, and their pantheon is represented as symbols and nature forces, somewhat similar to how Atmorans/Ancient Nords had animal totems. They worship a whole mess of divines, daedra and et'ada. Molag Bal and Lorkhan are their testing gods. Here's a sketch I made in 1 minute in MS Paint.

>top left: Kynareth
>top right: Satakal/Alduin
>bottom left: Magnus
>bottom right: Lorkhan
>>
>>49201998
Either he's fat because of poor diet and lack of exercise or because the corprus got him all bloated up and shit. Maybe a bit of both. I don't think being fat is necessarily a Dwemer cultural thing.
>>
>>49201998
Liver failure -> low blood protein -> low oncotic pressure -> edema -> abdominal ascites

Chronic illness -> immune exhaustion -> peritonitis? => abdominal ascites

Multiple dermal lesions -> possible route of infection and possible leakage of serum -> low serum protein -> ascites

Liver failure -> concurrent renal failure -> impaired circulation -> increased perfusion time + deficient drainage -> edema -> ascites

Liver + Renal failure -> high blood pressure -> congestive organ failures ----> chronic pancreatitis -> deficiency of digestive enzymes -> malnutrition -> further low blood protein -> muscle wasting -> weakened abdominal wall -> pronounced ascites

Now, if only we could do an ECG and listen to his lungs...
>>
>>49202234
Is Yagrum american?

Doesn't Vvardenfell have decent healthcare with all the mages, apothecaries and priests?
>>
>>49202128
So they finally went to live in that world without gods they desired? Huh.

Would that have had some effect on the god head or whoever is dreaming this nutbar place up?

Speaking of, if you've successfully Memed your way into CHIMING like Viviec, can you survive the universe resets or refreshes?

>>49202234
Huh well when you put it like that I can see why.

Zero sum is not retroactive.
>>
>>49202249
Considering any Mage worth his weight in soul gems can make a spell that restores all of your vital stats in one, maybe two castings, I'd assume so too.
>>

>>49202249
Corprus could have initiated an autoimmune complication. Unfortunately, no Restoration would solve that since autoimmune is not a classical illness in terms of external pathogen and internal defense. It's rather a mistake, or friendly fire so to say. Nothing short of Alteration of the immune system would solve that.

However, Alteration in such a way would presumably weaken the immune system on a general array. Yagrum lives in a cave for Vivec's sake. Imagine all the fungal pathogens he's exposed to. Perhaps delaying his Corprus led to a multitude of chronic fungal infections.

Best Fyr can do is disinfecting his skin lesions. At his state, even antibiotics would damage his already dysfunctional liver. Quite a tough case. He should be relocated to an asylum to live out his remaining days in beauty and serenity.
>>
Can Dwemeris actually be translated? Similarly to Calcelmo's Stone, we still have the Egg of Time and Divine Metaphysics... left untranslated after all this time.

Anon come on now.

Actually, do we know if Corprus still exists after Dagoth Ur is defeated? Well, maybe for the sake of gameplay Ash Ghouls, Corprus Stalkers and stuff still exist but from the lore point, should they?
>>
>>49202307
There are actually a few people who can read Dwemeris in-setting. Fyr, for example.

As for what we have now, I kind of doubt it. I don't think The Egg of Time or Divine Metaphysics were written in an actual language that we can translate, but are rather just random letters. That's the same way Ta'agra worked before Morrowind, or how how the tattoos on Cyrus' arm work. They don't really mean anything.

But I will compare them to what we now have.
>>
>>49202747
Goodall:
>Egg of Time and Divine Metaphysics are, as far as I know, random Dwemer letters. The letters don't have any real pattern or meaning. Dwemer books probably appear meaningless to anyone but a Dwemer anyway. I have some ideas on how Dwemer books might be misinterpreted by modern scholars, but it has little to do with the actual contents of the book.

Too bad. Goodall was pretty concerned with having actual languages in TES, but it's otherwise not something we see a lot. The fact that the stone had an actual translation is pretty surprising.
>>
>>49202264
zero summing is definitely retroactive that's why its called that. All evidence that you ever existed is erased, not only did you never exist that means you also never zero summed. Its one of the mind fucks associated with CHIM.

Before this thread dies I have a question about UESRPG, so we don't have to Dragonbreak.

How would you do Telvanni Bug Musk mechanically? Would the players and NPCs be able to roll a will save, or should it just increase personality?

Think of it as magical radiation poisoning. The "reactor" was decommissioned by the Nerevarine, but the entire area's still radioactive, and all the cases of wizard-AIDScancer don't just magically cure themselves.

And of course, the Red Year blew the fallout off of Red Mountain and onto the rest of Vvardenfell, as well as Solstheim and a good chunk of the rest of Morrowind.

Dare we risk the flavor of shitposting usually found in /tg/?
>>
>>49203476
It's interesting, but a lot of the people who actually discuss it are at work and shit, so I think we should just let us digest the new information, see if anyone else comes up with some interesting stuff, then regroup next time.
>>
>>49203507
Worse case scenario we ignore a few posts. Best case scenario we get new lore and dank memes.
>>49203526
I normally work weekends, Fridays and Mondays, so it's fine with me.

I'd prefer it to remain weekends 2bqh. I like knowing after a week of work, I come home, get drunk and can freely tuskpost without /v/ interfering.

>>49203301
They literally have silver skin and hair. Aside from that there's really nothing else interesting to them aside from headcanon or being humans living in Argonia, and even that's not that cool. Even in ESO they were mostly all dead, and as of where the setting is right now they are most assuredly all dead.
>>
It's not like anyone is suggesting permanent weekday threads. Just one more thread for the new lore, and to see that dictionary.
>>
>>49203706
Why not give anons a week to ruminate on the new lore? It doesn't seem like anything new is coming up now, since the original translation came up yesterday and not much has happened with it since.
>>
I propose we use the weekdays to come up with Kothringi headcanons and Falmeris/Dwemeris translation shenanigans and go mad on Friday.

Now back to your regularly scheduled/tg/ shitposting™

Falmeris doesn't appear to have a definite article word like English. This means that you won't find the word "the" in Falmeris. They likely use a suffixed definite article or no definite article. I might have to come back to this.
The usage of prepositions might also be different, often not being used. The word "av" appears to have some broad function as a preposition.
The basic syntax is mainly SVO.
>>
>>49204346
Accept = Arcta
Affection = Malae
Against = Gume
And = Ye
As = Ry (TN: There is a potential problem with this word. The Falmeris word "Ry" seems to correspond to the Dwemeri word "Ur", which in turn seems to correspond to another Falmeri word, "Ge")
Ask = Sepa
Before = Pado
Bones = Anyamis
(Were) Broken = Racuvane
By = As
Culture = Agea
Do not want (Deny/Refuse(?)) = Hecta
(Of the) Dwemer/Dwemerian(?) = Dwemera
Earth = Sercen
Enemies = Gravuloi
Eternity = Oia
Fear not = Abagaiavoy
Fifteen-and-one (TN: The Daedric Princes) = Avatheledia
Final = Wend
(The) Fruit = Cullei
(Were) Given = Calne
(The) Grace = Gandra
Gratitude = Epegandra
Heard = Rautane
Kings (of) = Arani
Know = Malautavoy
Machines = Buroi
Many = Ilpen
Mathematics = Bala
Mercy = Darre
Molagnenseli = Steam gardens
Mora = Morae
Music = Emeratu
New = Bisia
Of/To = Av (TN: Hard to translate because usage of such words depends on semantic role)
Only = Frey
Our = Nou (TN: Possibly also Noue)
Passage = Tarn
Path = Narilia
People = Meldi
(Had) Perished = Nagaiale
(The) Protection (of) = Trumbi
(The) Radiance (of) = Alata
Roaring = Guntumnia
Sent = Hautalle
Sets = Gethena
Snow-throated = Spantelepe-laelia
So = Sa
Stones = Staneia
Survived = Tarcellane
(Thereby) Taking(?) = Metane
Thanks = Arcten
To = Va (TN: Hard to translate because usage of such words depends on semantic role)
Tones = Carelle
Unbinds = Moraga
Under = Garlis
We = Nu
Which = Asma
Wills = Liebali
You = Sye
Your = Sou
>>
>>49204379
(Darkness sets in) = (Loria shanta) (TN: Not quite sure if "Darkness = Loria" and "Sets in/Gathers/Falls = Shanta", or if it's the other way around)
(For we do not believe in it) = (Rias nu nemalauta ge) (TN: Very hard to translate. Possibly the "Rias" is an auxiliary to "Nemalauta" (or visa versa), and the two form a negative construction, akin to how it works in French. For example "Rias nu nemalauta" may then mean "we (do) not" and "Ge = Believe". But this seems to suggest the Dwemeris word "Ur is "Believe", which may be wrong)
(New lives begin) = (Anyamissi bisia silya) (TN: I'm sure that "New = Bisia", but not about the others)
(Path to the music of) = (Narilia vey emeratu) (TN: I'm fairly certain that "Path = Narilia" and "Music = Emeratu")
(Vision clouds) = (Alasil auta) (TN: Not quite sure if "Vision = Alasil" and "Clouds = Auta" or if it's the other way around)
(The symbol of our bond) = (Varlor denai) (TN: My guess would be that "Varlor = Symbol" and "Denai = Bond")

The following is a "retranslation" of the words on the stone, using the dictionary to make a more literal translation.

>Ye sa sou meldi calne tarn va nou molagnenseli, ye trumbi nou bala.
>And so your people (were) given passage to our steam gardens, and the protection (of) our mathematics.

>Ilpen av sou meldi nagaiale as guntumnia, spantelepe-laelia arani Morae, ye sou liebali racuvane, ye nu rautane sye, ye nu hautalle nou buroi gume sou gravuloi, sa metane sye garlis.
>Many of your people (had) perished by roaring, snow-throated kings (of) Mora, and your wills (were) broken, and we heard you, and we sent our machines against your enemies, so thereby taking you under.

>Frey as gandra dwemera tarcellane sou agea, ye frey as emeratis Avatheledia carelle sou anyamissi bisia silya.
>Only by (the) grace (of the) Dwemer survived your culture, and only by (the) fifteen-and-one tones your (new lives begin).

>Nu hecta sou arcten, rias nu nemalauta ge. Nu hecta sou epegandra, rias ne nemalauta ge.
>We deny your thanks, (for we do not believe in it). We deny your gratitude, (for we do not believe in it).
>>
>>49204432
>Nu frey sepa sye arcta varlor denai, cullei noue staneia.
>We only ask you accept (the symbol of our bond), (the) fruit (of) our stones.

>Ye ry sou alasil auta, ry loria shanta, abagaiavoy.
>And as your (vision clouds), as (darkness sets in), fear not.

>Malautavoy fey nou darre ye alata nou malae, asma moraga sou anyamis av sercen pado, ye gethena sou wend narilia vey emeratu sou oia bisia.
>Know only our mercy and (the) radiance (of) our affection, which unbinds your bones to (the) earth before, and sets your final (path to the music of) your eternity new.

Everything is still kind of iffy and speculative at this point, but it seems to work decently enough. I feel very certain about most words. I'll do Dwemeris next, but that looks significantly more complicated. And we only have "indirect" access to it, since the translation we have is a translation of the Falmeris part of the stone.
