I am asking this because it has been brought up many times. I figure might as well get it all in one place. So if you had to name 5 influences for each TES civilization what 5 would you name? We can just go by race if you like because that pretty much means the same thing in TES universe.

Things to consider for influences
-Various cultures of OUR past
-Mythologies ranging from creation myths to legendary heroes from all OUR various cultures
-Fictional works such as Tolkien and any others you feel apply to the race.
-Historic actions taken by various cultures. Basically Histories of our races.

So the races. Just pick one and pick 5 influences for them that you think apply. Support with any evidence or provide a brief explanation.
