I'll take a closer look at your questions when I get my brain started up, but my quick reply is... Look around for Core members and be sure to get their input. Lore of TES in general isn't the same as lore here at TR. What I mean is that there have already been many decisions made regarding the para...

I checked with my friend who lives in Israel. The glyphs are in no way connected to Dwemeris, except one of them is a mirror image of the Hebrew lamed, which is L. I believe the Hebrew issue is resolved and can thrown away along with other old theories that proved wrong... I just re-read this. No. ...

I can't be specific because my source (Affa Mu) wasn't, but he had the notion that EoT and DM were randomly put together. Bummer. All that work for nothing.

We had this topic before I believe. What we came to was that there would be less Dwemer Ruins outside Morrowind... Not to be a pest, but can you help me find a reference thread - a search didn't yield obvious discussions on this matter. I'm very curious about this conclusion. Thanks in advance. :-)

I won't contribute as a "power-that-be". I'll put in my 2 cents though. Telvanni mages and their religious beliefs would, I think, make everything Dwemer hated. But, then again, who don't the Telvanni hate. To support your idea though, Telvanni have a clear and established reputation for e...

Solve the technical issues first (a big IF) and decide on who will fight who, then maybe Lore Masters can offer some input.

Very few know very little of the Sload. Even as a student of lore, I know less than that.

Based on what I've read, it's my opinion that the marriage practices of the Sload is never mentioned in TES lore. You seem to be on open ground.

Good, useful ones. I like that idea. There are probably only a dozen or so that are useful in a real sense to the player. It would sure beat what the B-boys did.

Lore is important, but game-play comes first.

Differing values of money would make the game-play more cumbersome for a great majority of players. Simplicity reigns again!

Riches

For the Colovian West to produce such a successful race must mean that it is rich in many natural resources. Good farming (and fishing) for population growth. Probably good mineral resources as well. Good in-land rivers for trade and transportation. None of this is official lore, but there are certa...

Cyrodiilic population

My impression was that the Colovian West of the Cyrodiil Province was more than half the population of the province; hence, the east (or center) of Cyrodiil had less than half (but by no means a great minority of the peoples). Also, don't forget how large the Imperial City is. It can hold quite a fe...
