The nonexistent* Healers in Morrowind that the townspeople constantly urge you to visit?

They were probably all killed by scribs.

Yes, there are. I think this safely falls into the category of 'common sense'...

Those dirty, sneaky, and nasty scribs! They all seem cute, cuddly, and easily killed. But, all it takes is just some careful planning and BAM! Balmora is gone!

The Nordic Tounges have a group of people who resigned from using their powers in war.

It depends on how you define "pacifist". There are many stripes of pacifism, and just as many kinds of pacifists.

In the broadest stroke of the brush, almost everybody is a pacifist to the extent they don't go around randomly killing. They'll fight if necessary, but most normal people don't grab a sword after any little argument.

If you wanna go farther than that, I'm sure there's a few people who are ideologically opposed to all forms of violence in Tamriel, and would probably flee if attacked.

There are some rumors that spread, but that isn't much...

You're comparing the present days with the medieval days... it was normal back then...

The adoring fan was a pacifist. Him and just about everyone else? You are saying that because there are a lot of wars then no one likes peace. It seems very violent because the world has been around a very short time (compared to RL) and most everything has been condensed to the point of Tamriel spanning wars occuring every few hundred years.

The Thieves Guild? They make you pay blood prices if you kill specific people during some quests. I remember Armand Christophe stating clearly that "we're thieves, not murderers".

HA! Only if you are on a mission does that rule apply. Plus, in MW, they certainly pick off targets. Havn't seem what they are like in DF, but there are stories where they will break freelance thieves arm's if they don't join the guild, and cause other "accidents"

Horrible books.

I try to avoid them whenever I can.

Have you heard any news from the other parts of Tamriel?

Of course there are.
We Psijics keep a strong stand that violence is not the answer to solutions.
