Actually he's the head of the Altmeri pantheon and an Aedric god (Akatosh). What's more he ascended to heaven in view of his followers Jesus stylee, so I don't see how he can be the King of the Altmer.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

I recently went back to my Altmeri version of the Pocket Guide - I will finish it off this time I swear! LOL Anyway I need to know if there is an official name for the High King of Alinor as of Tiber Septim's time (i.e. during the Aldmeri Dominion at the begining of the 3rd Era). I'm pretty sure the...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

BTW for the person who brought up Elsweyr - they have Khajiit that are several times taller than an Altmer the Senche and Senche-raht are ridden (but only by other Khajiit) as mounts, especially into battle. I like the idea of the Altmer having dragon-mounts but it conflicts with lore in that dragon...

Doesn't Finland still have Swedish as an official language legally recognised alongside Finnish? Infact IIRC all the provinces are (legally) bilingual except the Aland Islands which are monolingually Swedish, given that there are no Finns there. Finns don't want much to do with the rest of Northern ...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

How the hell does a silt strider resemble a crab? LOL In any case isn't there a load of concept art showing creatures similar to the PGE description being ridden by Dunmer?

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Sorry Zephyr but Finland is geographically in scandinavia, wether you like it or not, just because it has a different landscape doesn't separate it from it's immediate neighbours Sweden and Norway. The reason I suggested to not include finnish in any Nordic words was as you illustrated very well - i...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

There are creatures that are riden by lone Dunmer in Morrowind, the PGE describes them: 'A courier clatters by on the back of a 20-foot-tall, crab like creature.' basically anything large and insectoid would do. I think there's already a ridable guar mod floating around somewhere... BTW WTF does 'bo...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Geographically Scandinavia encompasses Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands, and by some people's reckoning Karelia and Saamiland (both now in Russia) But Finnish is a completely unrelated language, it's not even indo-european (meaning it's further removed from English an...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

That's great but wouldn't it be a little one sided - there are more scandinavian languages than Norse (I listed a few of the more obscure ones in my first post) and I think a mixture should be used, a halfway between all the different languages which makes everything sound scandinavian but not ident...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Oh right, there's nothing wrong with being 'authentic' to the real life inspiration for the Nords but I just don't think it'll feel right if everything Nordic ingame is exactly Norse or Swedish. Certainly there is a large scandinavian influence but it should be altered somehow, so it's not quite rea...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Hate to break it to ya, but erm... Incase you guys didn't know, the Nords aren't Norse, or swedish, or Danish, or Icelandic, or Faeroese, or Shetland/Orkney/Caithness-Norn, or any other scandinavian nationality, infact much of their culture is taken from the celts (especially all the blue face paint...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

The bllight is gone but the Ashstorms are a natural weather system, and the horses can't survive anywhere in Morrowind, not just Vvardenfell. There is actually a book ingame in which a noble Imperial brought a horse to Morrowind and told on of the Dunmer at the inn he was staying in to look after it...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Are you sure you unzipped all the files that came with the .esp? Because missing textures means they're either not downloaded, or you downloaded them and didn't put unzip them to the right place (winzip/winrar should automatically put them in the right folders for you).

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Well you'd encounter the edge of the mortal plane, quite what you'd experience has not been revealed but presumably there would be some sort of limit as Nirn is finite, I'd go with the invisible barrier idea for the moment, until we get more info.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

My god, a flamewar, or nearly. Anyway, about the 8 divines being the 8 Aedra, that's not exactly true, originally Arkay was not a god, he was born mortal and elevated to godhood, and there was an extra god Y'ffre who no longer has a planet, not to mention the late Trinimac. The Aedra are the Altmeri...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Actually Nirn is not a representation of Septim, if anything it is the representation of Lorkhan as destroying Lorkhan would have destroyed the world (this is the reason Auri-El tied Lorkhan's heart to his bow and shot it into the air where it would land and create Red Mountain). Though technically ...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Erm, not sure on interiors but check other cities - Kragenmoor is the Redoran's biggest city and it has a lot of interiors but I dunno how many. Also yes of course they'll have a temple, the Redoran are very devout Temple followers.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Erm, well yes it is official :roll: LOL, they wouldn't be there if they weren't official. The devs post all the time on the official forums; usually as part of an elaborate roleplay as the character they are providing lore about, as was the case with Vehk's teachings IIRC. There is a separate sectio...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Thanks all for the comments and to Jacurutu for moving and bumping, 'k: @ Stalker: if you read it you'll find that the author is rascist towards humans, but not so much towards the other mer, he is a scholar and therefore not quite as conceited as the nobility of the Altmer and so doesn't have as ma...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Just a small question: have you taken a look at the description in the available claim's thread for map 5? It says there how you're s'posed to treat the area which is no snow anywhere except on really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, re...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Sorry I meant to put something like: Stumpy, stop being an arse, posting useless shit like that llama it's really unhelpful. How's that? BTW no one loves you here - we all really hate you! (j/k) :lol: :mrgreen: If you would take note of the author's preface after his name the year is given - 2E870, ...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Fair enough move it, I really should run through my grammar a lot more before posting this sort of thing few things that were fine in my version: 'falseties' - I thought this aswell but my spellchecker corrected it to 'falsities' The order of the Meri races - the list is kind of biased - the Altmer ...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Lo chaps, I am not sure wether to bother submitting this idea to the BoT forum as it would take quite a while to finish it and I don't want to waste hours upon hours only for it not to be used. I wanted to give the Altmer more of a voice and present their take on the Empire at the time the Pocket Gu...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Oh my god, someone important actually agreed with me. :shock: Hurrah for the lore! (imagine a not-too-posh english accent -which I have - when you read that and I don't sound so stupid). Nice to meet you Yinnie :D LOL - I've been around for a fair while but I guess that my predilection for the lore ...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Within the lifetime of the player, the only evidence for this insane theory that someone here came up with (purely to explain away the fact that no one had bothered to check up on the lore before the current claims system was in place and we all know what became of that, *cough*SilgradTower*cough*) ...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

You should probably take 'dale' to just be a Dunmeri word and just a coincidence that it sounds really like an english word. Only bit of lore on it AFAIK is that at the time of the Pocket Guide it and pretty much all the other Hlaalu cities on Map 4 were Redoran, TR has made up a half-baked idea tha...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Under Tiber Septim all the provinces bar Morrowind were subdued by military force - all of them - including Black Marsh, sure it took Numidium to do the job but then they needed that to defeat the Aldmeri Dominion ( of this pamphlete, this regime, this lunacy :))) Furthermore, if tales of creation s...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Zalzidrax: the Argonians are descended from the Hist - where the F did you get the idea that they're the Ehlnofey? The Ehlnofey are the ancestors of the Aldmer and the Ayleids and also of men, they looked almost exactly as the Ayleids do now and very, very similar to how the Altmer look, only the Al...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

I just found the two rivers he means on the MW map - neither has a name on the map yet, and both come from the Argon jungle - neither reaches further north than that, and neither is the Pryai river which flows from Cyrodiil down into Morrowind, it can't have it's source in Argonia because it would h...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

You see there's two pointy 'crests' that point north? One is just west of the northernmost point of the eastern 'crest', and one further west at the base of that 'crest'. BTW If you want to stay accurate to all the official maps, cut off the northeasternmost part of you map - the bit that would be d...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Actually the Imperials built a town right outside Murkwood. Also where do you get this stuff on the last hist tree, there's more than one surely? Is there some bit of lore that says there's only one left? I've read something where they claim the Dwemer chopped them all down but I thought that was ju...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Sounds like a good plan for dividing the Argonians, presumably the ones in the north and northeast would look more humanoid than the ones we saw in Morrowind, more like the Daggerfall Argonians? while the slave ones from MW would be more predominant in the southeast where more aquatic skills would b...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

No we're not mistaken, the problem is that the Arena map Prom used (it was the one by Xanathar wasn't it?) is wrong, it includes a huge divider area between Morrowind, Argonia and Cyrodiil which is not depicted in the official combined map which appeared in Daggerfall and Battlespire. This is actual...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

There is no god for the undead, Arkay is the god of life and death and his followers are dedicated to destroying all the undead as they see them as an abomination. P.S. Arkay is an Aedra - they're not dark gods. There is (since Daggerfall) the god of worms - Mannimarco, he is worshipped by the Sload...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Fair 'nuff, but surely it can be finished off by someone with photoshop or some other program and the right font.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/index.php?image=g/maps/map_mw_full.jpg&p=modding_data/maps Check this link - it has all the info added to it by Prom, there's no need to remake the whole thing in the rather crappy style of the original map - if anything it should be done the other way round so Vva...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Don't we already have one? Check out the provinces forum, there's a post by Prometheus where he was updating the map continuously with all the towns and features, might have fallen behind in one or two details but not by much.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Erm, no that just wouldn't work. How would they grow them? Do such plants (native to Morrowind) even grow outside of it? Why don't we do something original like all the sketches and artwork posted already in this thread? I'm not saying it's a stupid idea just that the main reason against it is Argon...

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Exactly, they're a TES lore site and we are not owners of the franchise sad as that may be LOL. Fortunately BS are and I'm sure they know what they're doing with it.

Marauth AlaÃƒÂ-RaÃƒÂ¡n

Hammer? Never heard of them. I checked TIL, obviously 310 results returned from the search, no reference to a race by that name, I would suggest you might have misread something, unless it's a new TR race or something. Beast-folk is betmer, used to describe orcs/orsimer, Khajiit and argonians even t...
