In trying to do some vocabulary for my history class, I typed define: Imperials into the Google search engine. Interestingly, the second result was about elder scrolls Imperials. Discuss

people that adhered to imperialism?

It's because you typed Imperials instead of Imperial.

Shouldn't this be in the Elder Scrolls General Discussion?

But anyways I think it's pretty awesome, just goes to show how large the Elder Scrolls series really is.

Maybe, I hope I don't get in trouble.... This just seemed more appropriate to me at the time.

Re-read the OP, it said that TES was the second reference on the search. I was stating that when searching for the word Imperials having a TES reference appear as second shows how much the series has grown.

Type in any video game or media related real word and it will most likely be in the top three too, it's not that surprising.

This isn't some kind of 'its on Wiki, therefore it must be wrong' post, its a 'Meh, Wiki has a lot of this sort of stuff, its not like the noun has found its way into a dictionary'.

Neither is Imperials...

Neither is Imperials...

That would be akin to searching "asari" not "mass".

searching "asari"

Apparently they're short-necked clams. You may be wondering: what is a short-necked clam? I just googled variations of 'short necked clam' for about 15 minutes, and the only answer I can give is that a long-necked clam is steamed in its shell.

Gosh, you think? :facepalm:

IIRC an "Imperial" is a person living in an empire. But now-a-days it would be closer to a person who support a national ideal of an empire. Could possibly tie in with "Royalist"
