Polydor and Eloisa

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 10:05 pm

Hello,

I would like to know if there's anything more about Polydor and Eloisa than this (Daggefall)
Today is the 16th of Sun's Dawn, a holiday celebrated all over Tamriel as Heart's Day. It seems that in every house, the Legend of the Lovers is being sung for the younger generation. In honor of these Lovers, Polydor and Eloisa, the inns of all Tamriel offer a free room for visitors. If such kindness had been given the Lovers, it is said, it would always be springtime in the world.

and this (2920, Sun's Dawn)
"What troubles you?" asked Queen Hasaama, noticing her husband's sour mood. At the end of most Lovers' Days he was in an excellent mood, dancing in the ballroom with all the guests, but tonight he retired early. When she found him, he was curled in the bed, frowning.

"That blasted bard's tale about Polydor and Eloisa put me in a rotten state," he growled. "Why did he have to be so depressing?"

"But isn't that the truth of the tale, my dear? Weren't they doomed because of the cruel nature of the world?"

"It doesn't matter what the truth is, he did a rotten job of telling a rotten tale, and I'm not going to let him do it anymore," King Dro'Zel sprang from the bed. His eyes were rheumy with tears. "Where did they say he was from again?"


The mother of Pelagius IV, Eloisa, is another person. She lived during the during the third Era, and the legend of Polydor and Eloisa was already sung during the first one.

Thanks for helping.

not that ive seen, sorry.

Coincidentally, i did write a short story of two doomed lovers for a fanfic. It told of a beautiful elven maid who fell in love with a child of Magnus. When her love went away with the rest of his siblings she vowed to follow him and built a tower into the heavens. She died before its completion, but it still stands over the Iliac. The story was intended as an alternate ingame myth of the origin of the Adamantine, but it does fit rather well into this :P

Thank you for answering.

Is your fanfiction available for reading somewhere ? I like this idea a lot.
