Why? Tang Mo are apemen as well, as Imga; Ka-Po-tun are catmen as well as Khajiiti, they even worship Akatosh.

Almost.

Though I think that if Akavir really exsists, Tsaeski are partially humans or were partially humans sometime long ago... After all, they weren't considered as beastfolk.

There is not much information about Akavir, but enough to prove that it actualy exists

In addition, the Akaviri messenger's diary did state he and the other Akaviri messenger had legs.

I always imagined the Tsaesci as very slim men with and fine scales with long Argonian like faces and tails. With a pale golden hue to their scales

The only race that doesn't worship Akatosh is the Dunmer. It makes no sense because they're on the other side of the world, and the Khajiit are just Bosmer that were changed by Azura; they can't possibly be the same thing. And, with the others, the Dunmer and Dwemer are both elves, aren't they? They weren't the same.

Carlovac Townway based his descriptions of Akaviri on marasmic tales of hundred-years-agen Imperial veterans...

So it makes no sense if they are really on the other side of the world, and not only myths rising from ancient disturbed descriptions of Khajiiti. But how can you know it for sure?

They could be Kamal, being that they seem to prefer colder climates, such as northern Cyrodiil/southern Skyrim, or they could be one and the same as the Tsaesci, being that the men got "eaten" and now there's two "breeds" of Tsaesci: the ruling class of snake-men with their names with lots of 'S' sounds, and the lower-class humans with their 'X' sounding names.
Makes me think of the http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/f/f1/Yuan-ti_-_Sam_Wood.jpg from the various Dungeons & Dragons settings, in that they're snake-people with many different forms.

Or, it could be a budget thing. But I like my ideas better.

Almalexia mantled Akatosh, what with betraying Nerevar (Shezarr) and going bat[censored] insane. Of course, this means the Shezarrine will kill Akatosh and stop time......

It's funny. I just dispatched of Mishaxhi myself several days ago and was wondering the exact same thing. Probably an oversight or pure artistic laziness. Especially as much of Oblivion's content seems cookie-cutter in nature, it wouldn't surprise me if the artists didn't feel compelled to create unique assets for NPCs for a single quest. I'm sure I wouldn't.

It's okay if you don't like Oblivion, but don't repeat something if you know that it's been proven wrong.



That might be true, but the descriptions don't have to be wrong, just because of that. The Imperial soldiers are the best people to get descriptions from, as they're the only ones who have been to Akavir.



If they were descriptions of Khajiit, then there wouldn't be information about their leaders and culture, which there is, that could be anything other than Khajiit. It's how many historians work out what people were talking about in records, if many things are similar. Other than their appearance, the Khajiit and Akaviri are completely different.

But it hasn't proven, it's only belived to be so.

Yes, but they don't have to be right. Maybe they just mixed image of Nagas with many-aged gold-skinned enemies of Empoire.

Leader of Ko-Po-Tun is Akatosh. Khajiits worship Akatosh too.

By the way, moving from crypto-akaviri teories - the most strange thing about the Pale Pass is even not the bipedal akavirians, but theis shields and armor.

Because ofand

Well, we know that there were men and snakes in Akavir, and that the Blades armour from the Akaviri invasion was not worn by snakes. Unless there were other races in the invasion of Tamriel, then the only thing that would mean the snakes invaded Tamriel is 'Tiber Septim did it'



Soldiers remember the appearance of their enemies, and many historians often record it. They'd have no reason to make it up, so there's no reason not to trust their descriptions.



He isn't Akatosh, he's trying to become Akatosh, and doesn't seem to have succeeded. The Khajiit worship Akatosh, but so do most other races of Tamriel.
