Pela-jee-had...see where it comes from?

jihad? yes, that is Dunmer.

This mod seems to be making a lot more progress. And it's happening fast, too. That's good.

Probably derived from the Emperor Pelagius II or III (the mad one). Definitely Imperial.

Thanks, that seem highly likely. As I said, it doesn't sound Dunmeri at all to me.

That gets me thinking of Ebonheart and Old Ebonheart... I wonder what the Dunmer word for Ebony would be... hmmm.

You know, my mother did tell me that there was (or maybe still is) a small Russian village called Pelagiad. There was a famous singer there called Giad and she died (I don't remember how) so the village name was in her name ("Pela-giad" means "Giad sang" in Russian). She told me that when she saw me playing Morrowind and the name Pelagiad came on screen

Pelagius/Pelagiad comes from the Greek "pelagos" which means "sea" (like the Adriatic or Ionian): http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pelagus. The term "pelagic" comes from this word also. Although, I could have sworn at some point it did refer to "lake" as well. (I knew that one class in Classical Lit as an undergrad would pay off one day!). Pelagius is also the name of a 3rd-century religious heretic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagius. I'm assuming the latter is probably what the game writers were referencing when they made a character like Pelagius the Mad.

Sacred East 1.5 is out!

This has been a huge effort over the past many months to bring an update with numerous bug-fixes and additions to you all. The first post of the thread has been updated to include new information and new download links for Sacred East 1.5! Included in 1.5 are the following:

New in this release:

New lands: This update extends the landmass to the south! The extension is not as large as a new release, but it covers three settlements (Bosmora, Enamor Dayn and Gorne) and various places of interest. The new lands are to be found south of Seitur.

New quests: You can now run four errands for the Guild of Mages in Akamora (Francine Aldard's quests are not finished yet), and three or four (depending on how you count) for the East Empire Company in Helnim's town hall. In Bosmora (which has seen some of the most complex questwriting in Tamriel Rebuilt's history), you can make yourself useful to both a shady dealer and the captain of the guard.

New books: A lot of the older, sub-par literature of Tamriel Rebuilt has been superseded by new books, among which many are written for and unique to Tamriel Rebuilt.

Improvements: Bugs have been fixed all over the map--everything from floating rocks to broken quests. The surroundings of Tel Muthada and the Veralan Farm received a facelift in particular, and some other parts of the landscape have seen some detailing too. Bugs do persist, however, and we welcome all bug reports as usual!

Enjoy this release, and remember to always clean your saves!
