Are the Dunmer up to something?

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 6:20 pm

So there's this book "The dunmer of skyrim" found at several places in skyrim. the author claims that

"children of Skyrim, you have the truth of it. You may call this province home, but you can no sooner claim to own it than a cow can claim to own its master's field. You are just another breed of domestic animal, grazing stupidly while higher beings plot your slaughter."

he also uses the fact that windhelm's snow quarter is now called grey quarter as proof over dunmer taking over. ("they call it the Gray Quarter, for such is the reality of the Dunmer occupation")

the author also mentions Belyn Hlaalu as "You'll find no Gray-Manes within these walls. But perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the home of Belyn Hlaalu, descendant of one of the most noble houses in all of Morrowind." and that led me to think that person kind of runs the show there in the grey quarter.

So what do you think? is the author being delusional? or is there some truth and are the dunmer are trying to take over by immigrating heavily. (then there's the nords unfriendly welcoming that stirs up bad blood)

EDIT: the author is a dunmer btw, and he supports the dunmer cause

It's the typical "immigrants are taking over this country" screed. Pay it no mind.

I'm gonna vote "delusional". While it's true they call it the gray quarter because they live there, the gray quarter is also the poorest area and it's just where they stuffed all the Dunmer refugees.

There are daedric shrines in Skyrim. The daedra are worshipped by the Dumner. The priestess at Azura's Shrine said they were told to leave Morrowind a long long time ago. I would bet something is up.

Only three Daedra are worshiped by Dunmer. And only two of these have shrines.

Azura told her followers to leave Morrowind because seeing the future is her job.

The Daedra are worshiped by every race, every where. The Dunmer just accepted more than the other races/provinces. They were told to leave Morrowind so they wouldn't die, no big conspiracy. Then again, Azura's a Daedra, so :shrug:

I don't think the daedra have anything to do with it but just observe the hostility between dunmer and nords in windhelm. surely a conflict will follow some day.

and considering the amount of dunmer that are immigrating to skyrim...they might be up for a decent fight

As my favorite race, I certainly hope the Dunmer are up to something!

Then again, I'm a huge fan of hostile takeovers and Falmeresque conflicts (as long as I'm on the winning side :whistling:)

Falmeresque conflicts

You're a big fan of losing badly, having to run away and hide, and only bothering to come back when your enemy is destroyed by a completely unforseen event?

I hope DLC will somehow shed more light on this case.

Is that what happened? Nevermind then. I admit I know little of the Falmer and I was just trying to find a quick example from tamrielic lore. I thought it was simply a total war between the nordic invaders and the Falmer. Read up on it, guess I was pretty far off :confused:

The Dunmer and the Nords are about as friendly to each other as the Koreans to the Japanese.

They have a history you see.

I play Dunmer almost exclusively, but this guy does sound pretty delusional.
