Ok, so somebody help me with this in regards to lore.

http://c0da.es/

I was asking about this in my 'Outer Realms' thread but I don't want to derail it so figured I'd ask in a separate thread.

I'm not quite getting the gist of all this. I do understand it's from MK but what I don't understand is if this is part of official lore or what MK wants to be part of official lore. I know from replies here it's not by Bethesda themselves but in the most utter of laymen's terms, is this really part of Elder Scrolls, is it kind of a half-joking nudge at the series/universe or a straight out farce? Looking through the site doesn't help either except for one thing that looks like a partially insectoid Master Chief.

Is this part of Elder Scrolls? Well, you'll need to be more precise than that.

If you believe that Bethesda (and Zenimax) alone are the guardians of what constitutes Elder Scrolls, then you've got your answer straight away: no. If you're open to the idea that maybe we and they both play a part in the lore, what with it being a sort of shared belief, then it might be ES Lore.

Is it official? Well, that's like the question "are you officially darkweaver"? It entirely depends on who the "office" is.

Is this part of the TES games? No, you'd have noticed if it was.

Is this part of TES lore? Maybe. Opinions vary. See above.

Is it intended to say something about Tamriel? Definitely, and on that basis alone I would admit it as lore.

I hope that's as laymans as you need.

It's not a "farce" because it's intended as a serious work of art (the piece of writing under "read c0da" and the works related to it). For some background on what it all means, I recommend you read the http://www.imperial-library.info/content/loveletter-fifth-era-true-purpose-tamriel and then go from there.

We have a thread on this already, please fill that one up before making a new one:
