Beat you to it.

Blast. I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

If Dwemer law comes from the Altmer, the Dwemer do as well.
Thats something of a stretch.

We know this because Topal the Pilot writes about them in Father of the Niben. Topal was an Aldmer, so this occured before the various schisms that led to Altmer, Chimer and Dwemer.
Yes, but Topal also records orcs. If we take him at his word (and I see no real reason not to) then Orsimer are actually the direct spawn of the Elhnofey, and not of the Aldmer.

This goes against most of what we've ever heard of the orcs. So are we just supposed to treat it as outdated lore? I tend to ignore it for this reason, but it was included in Skyrim, so the devs still think its relevant.

SUB: Let's get to bashing buts as well as deeze nuts!- A nord to a redguard...

Seriously I have one: SUB: Lorkhan is the creator of Mundas. Most humans recognizes him as a creator. The Altmer and Bosmer viewed him as a trickster who stole thier divinity. And the Dunmer are more closer to the humans views. He is known as simply Lorkhan to the Altmer, Shezzar to the Imperials, and as Shor to the Nords.

SUB: Despite featuring an ingame book entitled The Lusty Argonian Maid, asking the official Elder Scrolls Lore Forum on Bethesda's website about sixually transmitted diseases on Nirn warrants an instantly locked thread.

Why is it a stretch?
Obviously the cultures are related.

The annotator of Father of the Niben is surprised to see Orcs mentioned in the text and has several explanations for their seemingly too-soon presence.
He makes no such notes when Topal mentioned cat-demons, by which we can assume that that was not a surprise.

SUB: The Dwemer somehow twisted the laws of nature, which is why their armor, weapons, and machinery does not rust over time.

SUB: While well known for their mastery of technology, it is a much lesser known fact that the Dwemer were also very into music.

Hey I could make use of this thread as well to add some personal lore based loading screens for my issgard mod?

You could, but I don't want to derail this thread.

Thanks everyone for your continued submissions! :thanks: I am going to go ahead and say that I will keep accepting new entries indefinitely, but I will start putting the mod together on Saturday, June 23rd (one week from today). Anything submitted after that time may go into a new "pack", if I receive enough entries after the 23rd to warrant a new set of loading screens.


I will probably not be adding new models. This is intended to be a really, really simple mod that I don't want to spend time overengineering. I may take advantage of models that are in the game but don't make loading screen appearances. I hope that makes sense.

SUB: Beware! When Valenwood is threatened, the Bosmer can change into nightmarish creatures in order to protect their home, forever giving up their lives as elves. This ritual is known as the Wild Hunt.
