Who are the Dunmer based off of?

Yes, good in that sense, that many users think it is a good topic.

I knew the sense, hence my statement. And the statement still stands.

They are based on the Drow from Forgotten Realms (in some places in DF, even their names were Drowish).

No.

Drow

Uh. NO.

Partly Drows

NO, dammit!

So... who is Pelinal Whitestrake based off of? :P


I read something at the Imperial Library from Michael Kirkbride that said he was mostly based off of Gilgamesh.

Which means that it is still a good topic then.


All it means is that people can't be bothered to use the search function, much less click back a few pages to the last time we had this topic. It is also indicative of our general inability to just roll with the flow and take Tamriel as its own thing rather than an extension of the world we already know.

Though people probably should be better to look if there allready is an existing thread on the topic, or not.
Doesn't mean squat, other than people try to think themselves cool, are ignorant, lazy, or try to look profound. It's a topic too often asked, with answers that has been repeated too often.

Well, nothing else is going on in the lore section! Plus, people need to somehow learn that the dunmer aren't just based off of native Americans, or something similar. A lot of these races contain lots of cultural influences, that it becomes wholly ignorant to say "x race is y culture" almost ever other week.
