SUB: Morrowind is well known for its bizarre flora and fauna which is uniquely adapted to its volcanic climate

SUB: Negative Nordic opinions on magic are relatively new to Skyrim's culture, due to the Nords blaming mages for the Oblivion Crisis. In fact, the old Nordic term for mage was "clever-man".

Excellent work everyone. I really appreciate it. Many of these I would have never known.

My "goal" was 100 unique loading screens, and I think we're getting close to that. I'll do a count in the morning!

You should rewrite this as "Morrowind is well known for its bizarre flora and fauna which is uniquely adapted to its volcanic climate." or perhaps "Morrowind's bizarre flora and fauna is uniquely adapted to its volcanic climate."

The way you wrote it makes it sound that, because of Morrowind's adaptation to a volcanic climate, it has bizarre flora and fauna.

Fixed.

SUB: Khajiiti myths assume that moon sugar is crystalized moonlight.

Edit:
Just to note, The Infernal City and its sequel are fully ratified by Bethesda and written under instruction by them. It is canon.

The view of the Aedric plane(t)s as infinite in size but appearing as spherical due to the mortal incapability to visually comprehend nestling infinities is a pretty http://www.imperial-library.info/content/cosmology of Elder Scrolls lore.

I'll look into more later, I'm having a surprising amount of fun just scouring through TIL to find my favorite quotes

SUB: Though commonly used in Morrowind and Daggerfall, the spear was never widely accepted in Skyrim.

SUB: For most of it's history, the Reman Empire was ruled by Snake-men from the distant lands of Akavir.

SUB: Until the early Third Era, there were only eight recognized Divines, during his lifetime, Talos was only a man.

Doesn't stop it from being super cool, though. If any other member thinks this submission was inappropriate, then feel free to let me know that it should be removed.

I'd personally replace Reman Empire with Second Empire. Also I like the idea of spears, but we both know they're not in the game because of gameplay reasons.

How about the third one. I thought of the first as a bit of tongue in cheek really.

Already replied before that edit, but sounds good to me

Catching up now.

I am breaking each submission into categories. This will inform which model to use, as well as allow me to break things up into separate .ESPs. For instance, someone on Reddit is intending to submit 90 entires, 5 quotes from each category of skillbook. Some may find that overpowering and not want to play with that category. Or maybe you don't care about ancient history and the workings of Aetherius. etc.

Edit: Whew. All caught up. I am sitting on 114 submissions. My goal was 100 (and I honestly thought it would be a stretch to get there!). I will keep taking submissions as long as you're willing to provide them. I'll specify a cut-off date for submissions sometime soon.
