Timeframe of the Oblivion Crisis

Post » Sat Jul 24, 2010 11:31 pm

Hi guys,

I am sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything. How long did the Oblivion Crisis last for? I know technically it depends on the player and how long it takes them to do the main quest, how sidetracked they get, etc. But I mean in lore terms, involving realistic travel times, logistic delays, and a character who doesn't say "oh, important quest to save the heir from a burning city? Nah, I'll do that later, but first I have some dank caves to explore. Oh! a peanut!" I'm guessing it would take a few years at least, but that is just a complete guess.

Regards,
Kashaaz

Right now there is no answer to that. The events of Morrowind and Tribunal seem to have taken about one year as the PGE published two years after already mentions the Nerevarine and the aftermath.

Oblivion probebly didn't take so long because there is just no way the Daedra will destroy Kvatch, only to show up in Bruma six months later nor could mortals keep up closing the Oblivion gates for that long.

I reckon we'll just have to wait to see what happens next.

Wasn't the PGE 3 published in 3e 432, not 429?

Morrowind took place in 3E 430, unless I'm mistaken.

Eh, more or less. http://www.imperial-library.info/history/3.shtml says Circa 430, so you're basically right.
