Does anyone know when this was written exactly? I was browsing over it today and couldn't help but notice the bottom section.

"The political weakness of Valenwood has been evident for more than twenty years now, and the Bosmer seem resigned to this state of affairs. The land is considered by most to be a mere geographical designation without any political purpose. If there is honor or pride, it is with one's family or clan. National feeling, never strong, seems to have died. The tribal council has not met in decades. Valenwood appears to be adrift.

Interesting. But I think that was released with Oblivion. But I'm not sure.

I still place my bets that Alinor will be the next TES game to wrap up the Thalmor story (hopefully having a super expansion of Pyandonea).

Due to it's location near the Nirn equator I've always understood Valenwood to be like a tropical rainforest (like the South American Amazon) which stretch across the border into Elweyr (though much of Elsweyr turns into desert) and then on into Black Marsh (but flooded swampland). Hopefully if we ever get to re-visit Cyrodiil they'll do it better and correct the southern tip of Cyrodiil to be hot jungle as well (as I understand the lore prior to Oblivion says it should have been)

Well it's not like I liked veggies anyways. It'll be fine. Just don't flail around Marukhati, lest you wanna be wildly hunted.

It was written during Uriel VII's reign. I had the same thought, but after 200 years...
