Sovngarde Makes me Uncomfortable

Just like the Mazken are called Dark Seducers but don't relish the name. "You know us as Dark Seducers. A name given us by our enemies."

The Dark seducers are also way nicer than the Golden Saints.

I always thought he had just killed so many people in his youth that all the blood stained his skin to that shade.

Haha not better, it's the same thing. (I use the proper names, anyway. :wink: Altmer, Dunmer, so on.) But in Tamriel someone isn't white or black, they're a Nord or a Redguard. You just don't hear people in Tamriel calling each other by these real-life terms.

So that's why it feels wrong to hear someone say that Sovngarde is full of white people, rather than full of Nords. xD I mean wrong as in strange.

I am being desensitized by a lot of things so it doesn't bother me. This kind of thread is just to make people laugh and reply just as funny things.

To me, one must be able to laugh at themselves to be humbled. No one is under the eye, not even Nords, of jokes "insensitive" or sensitive as they may be. Everyone in this world, even myself can be made fun of.

I gladly accept it with a hearty jester laugh. And cackle till I'm as mad as the blue moon itself.

This thread is merely a joke thread. One of my many.

I don't know, the Aureals seemed nicer than the ever sarcastic Mazken in that quest to help one of the sides to take over Cylarne.

Hey, to be fair, you are right... There are a lot of white people in Sovngarde. ;)

Mazken are just a tad more patient when dealing with "Lesser Mortals." While Aureals just downright make it known that that they hate everything that's inferior to them. :)

There's a lot of dead people in Sovngarde.

I've always wondered about that comment, what did they do to their enemies to earn the Seducer part of their name?

ha that too but he looks like old leather to me, like a WWII bomber jacket that's been through hell :P

I usually use their Mer names as well except for Orcs as I feel they stopped being "Orsimer" once they were corrupted.

Skin color doesn't make your race though, look at Vignar and then look at Braith in Whiterun...not all Nords are "white" and not all Redguard are "black".

Of course not, it was just an example. No matter how dark or light their skin is, though, they'd still just be referred to as their Tamrielic race, and like I said, people in Tamriel wouldn't use the same terms we would. So referring to someone from Tamriel, regardless of their race or their skin color, using one of our racial terms sounds weird.

Great thread, got a lot of laughs out of this one. :thumbsup:

Each race pretty much has their own heaven, and I think they're all concidered real.
Sovngarde was just proven real in this game, but I think they're all real simultaneously

Orsimer are orcs.. Before they were corrupted they were Altmer (?), then they became Orsimer. The corrupted elves you see is what an Orsimer is.

Nothing, I'd wager. It's based on their attire.

Of course you feel uncomfortable. It is Shor the Snake's slave-pen where the wicked blasphemous nords get sent to be well-fed and kept as cattle for Alduin's feast on the day of judgement, praise be.

I concur. lol

White people just think they can come up with their bulging muscles and big greatswords, and swing at you because your skin is a little ashy in color.
