Barenziah and Jargar Tharn's child

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:49 am

SPOILERS!!!

Remember in the Real Barenziah it was said that Barenziah was seduced by a bard named Nightingale (Jagar Tharn) and became pregnant of him?
Skyrim completely retcons this. Nighthingale was actualy a cover name for a famous Dunmer rogue named Drayven Indoril. Barenziah came pregnant with Drayven daughter Drulsi.
Drulsi would eventualy give birth to her own daughter, Karliah, who you might remember from the Skyrim Thieves Guild Questline.

That -would- explain why Karliah's eyes are purple (which was bugging the hell out of me.) Also, she's the pretender for the throne of mournhold? Assuming there still is such a thing, and that her grand-uncle and aunt are both dead (Though I can't imagine why Morgiah wouldn't still be alive.)

I always thought Karliah's eyes being purple was a bug, since the one Altmer guy Enthir had red eyes. Figured they had gotten switched

Yea, those were the days when we still had Houses of Earthly Delights and topless women laying at the side of Mannimarco...

I assumed Enthir was Bosmer, since that's literally what he is in-game, until he identified himself as Altmer, upon which I assumed he was [censored] with me. I seriously don't trust that guy. <_<

Well I've seen a few non-Dunmer NPC's with red Dunmer like eyes. The most recent one the orc chief from The Cursed Tribe

Didn't Morgiah live in Summerset? I'd think that would be a good enough reason for her to be dead by now...

A pretender for the throne however? Even if we assume the royal title still holds something and that Helseth still holds onto it, then it would still be very unlikely, there is at best one person alive that could confirm the story (Barenziah) and it's doubtful that she would do even that, I don't think she would destroy the throne of her son for her granddaughter... Besides she's likely dead as well, she was already really old in Tribunal and 200 years have passed since then..

Morgiah became the queen of one of the kingdoms of Summerset Isle/Alinor. Can't remember which one. Anyways, according to the books Rising Threat, the Thalmor killed anyone not of pure Altmer blood, plus they killed off the kings and queens who had ruled the kingdoms. It doesn't specifically mention Morgiah, but being that she was a Dunmer and a queen of one of the kingdoms, I assume she is most likely dead.

She was queen of Firsthold. There's no way in hell the Thalmor would want her to live.
