Cyrodiil in Fanfictions

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:50 am

I am wondering, because in my story, I have a band of daedra, er adventurers heading towards Cyrodiil, and I need to know what the majority of the form uses, so for my story I can get as many people to read/like it as possible.

If it's in modern Tamriel times, then Tiber changed it from Jungle to bungle.

What kind of instruments does this band of daedra, err, adventurers play?

Honestly, Jungle Cyrodiil seems infinitely cooler than 'Hi, I'm a forest.' Cyro, but the latter is the most commonly used one.

Oh my story is set during Morrowind, so I am not sure if I should use retcon or jungle. I think jungle. I can't wait to have them fight a water dragon that is soaking in a river! Well not fight, but meet.

I use the retconned version, simply because that's how it's portrayed in Oblivion. I do agree that the other one sounds much more interesting, though. :nope:

I believe the climate in Cyrodiil changed gradually in the last thousand years. In the time of Alessia Cyrodiil was a jungle, but over time the jungle gave way to the forests as seen in Oblivion.

You don't have to make things complicated for them to work.

Peleus, Talos just retconned it all instantly. So in reality, one day it was jungle, next day it was forest.

I believe there is a discrepancy here. I believe Peleus is taking that approach because there is a certain level of skepticism around CHIM and other lore, especially concerning the Septims. People could say it was their Emperor that did it for them, but we can't say for certain. I far prefer the skeptical approach to lore rather than the believing everything the books say. Authors are often wrong you know, there is a very good chance your science book right now has quite a few things that will be laughed at a hundred years from now.

But if you do want to use the retcon, it had already happened before Morrowind, so it would be a jungle if you are doing that.

Wasn't that statement a dev question dodge anyway?
