So, I never understood why everyone hated Lydia. I thought she was an okay follower, and strong too. In fact, one time she survived a direct impact from a giant's club (one who makes you fly).

Lydia and I were heading for High Hrothgar when we stumbled upon this fort. It had obviously been stormed by Stormcloaks, so the only ones left were 2 Altmer necromancers. I killed the first one pretty quick, and was heading for the second one when Lydia (obviously enraged) shout:

"Your kind doesn't belong here"

What the hell? My battle stopped immediately as I turned around to look at Lydia. I won't tolerate racism, [censored]! So I did the obvious and noble thing and flung my Orcish war-hammer upon her egg-shaped head. That's when she yelled:

"Stop it! Skyrim belongs to the Nords!"

Are you blind? There's an Orc in front of you. Jesus! Am I glad that she's dead?


So, why do you guys hate Lydia?

Skyrim DOES belong to the nords.

But that's no reason for the nords to be jerks about it...

My lydia died distracting a frost dragon while i fired arrows at it.Brave woman that one

But Skyrim does belong to the nords. D:

My Lydia died from a Frost Troll attack I used flames and acidently hit her.

The Snow Elves were there first !

Skyrim doesn't belong to the Nords. Skyrim belongs to its original civilization, the Snow Elves. Atmora belongs to the Nords.

So faak Ysgramor and his 500 companions.

And the Native Americans were here first as well, what's your point?

There's an old saying that goes, "To the victors, go the spoils." The Snow Elves fought and lost. Like it or not, Skyrim no longer belongs to them. That doesn't mean there's no room for each to co-exist with one another if they could get along.

The Atmorans were from Skyrim originally.

The Reachmen have been in Skyrim since the start as well.

No O..O

The Nords came from Atmora , they lived in Atmora since forever , there was war in Atmora so they sailed to Skyrim.
At first they lived in peace with the Elves , but the Elves thought that the Nords are dangerous for their land and so they destroyed the Nords in Skyrim.

However Ysgramor survived and came back with the 500 companions.

But every race in Tamriel is racist except the Orsimer.

The races of Tamriel all come from Old Ehlnofey which was destroyed during the Ehlnofex wars of the Dawn Era.

The Atmorans/Nords originally came into existence at the Throat of the Word.

Originally like before the Snow Elves? Nope. The very first inhabitants were the Mer. The Nords came to Skyrim after.

That's why the let everyone party in their strongholds in Skyrim right?

This.

I haven't seen any racist DarK Elves, but your right

Cause the Dunmer were busy fighting each other ( the Great Houses ) , but well now everything is gone

The Nords came into existence on the Throat of the World in the early years of the Dawn Era but were kicked back to Atmora during the Dawn Wars

The Falmer originate from the Aldmer of the Summerset Isles and arrived in Skyrim during the Merethic Era.

Therefore the Nords were in Skyrim first.

I love lore wars, I learn so mutch!

Quote from UESP:

"The spiritual relationship between the Nords and breath is crucial to understanding Nordic beliefs and motivations. They believe Kyne breathed life into them at the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Throat_of_the_World, the highest mountain in Skyrim."



The Aldmeri Dominion also believes that they are the best race , is that true ?

Please say your joking.....

The Dunmer are far more racist than any other race (maybe not the Altmer).

They kept Khajiit and Argonian slaves.

They called all foreigners "N'Wah" or "Outlanders" and wanted them all out of Morrowind.

The Argonians invaded Morrowind for the soul purpose of revenge.

The reason the Argonians aren't allowed into Windhelm is because they'd kill the Dunmer for more revenge.

Please play Morrowind.

Thanks for the information
No i haven't played Morrowind and really don't plan on it I might read into to it however. I was more refering in Skyrim the lack of racist Dark Elves. There are always going to be slaves in one country or another across the World of the Elder Scrolls, or other worlds.

Nobody else except the Altmer keep slaves.

The first thing I did when I got Lydia was take her outside of Whiterun and decapitate her. I wanted her armor.

I REGRET NOTHING!

Ask the lore forum if you don't believe me I don't have the time to correct you.

@Fupark

1) You made no new point there and you didn't correct me at all....

2) What? That didn't make sense.

Yes, the Dwemer did turn the Falmer blind but the Falmer come from the Summerset Isles it doesn't say anywhere otherwise.

Look up your lore.
