The Nords are clearly the inferior race in TES:V...but...

One problem, Lorkhan wasn't human. So did anyone like my khajiit Dragonborn's speech?

Slaughter the WHOLE elven race? Last I knew... the Aldmeri Dominion just demolished the Imperial army. Humans have been victorious via numbers, not the skill or power of the individual. 1v1, elves win.

Ofcourse not. But hey, it was quite the heavy blow. You know, giving his life to create the land where the elves walk on right now. And him being considered a hero of mankind and all. And yeah I liked the speech.

We should test it out sometime. To see if your arms are as sharp as your tongue.

Demolished the Imperial army? Last I checked only about one Legion was destroyed and the others are still active. What about Hammerfell? I hear the Dominion did rather poorly when up against the Redguards. Last I checked the Redguards are humans and yet they manage beat the dominion. Superior? Maybe but only at dying and whining about how Talos is a false god. Now I ask you this, what is there that prevents the divines from accepting a human into their ranks? NOTHING! The divines can make whoever they want one of their number and there is nothing you elves can do about it. You want to escape Mundus? Fine, try finding a way to do it withing destroying Mundus and try to find a way to do it without destroying or even killing everyone who disagrees with you. Your arrogance is exactly why I believe elves are no better than humans, Argonians, or even Khajiit. Everyone is a bunch of [censored]s who think they are right and anyone who disagrees is wrong. The way I see it is that the world would be better if everyone were right and nobody were wrong.

Yes, you elves are arrogant for many reasons. The first is thinking you are better than the humans. That said the Dominion's forces were also heavily exhausted during the great war and there is the fact that humans reproduce faster than elves. Dragons are superior over all of us because they are lesser aedra. Dragons are immortal unlike elves unless one of you gets vampirisim. So here is the deal, take your elven supremacy ideals and shove it up your rear ends and when you find a way to escape mundus without destroying it and anyone who disagrees with you then we can talk. Your talk about being mages and Nords not liking magic is funny. Need I remind you that the ancient Nords were quite accepting and even quite adept at magic? The proof even lies with the Dragon Priests, mysterious as they are they are also magnificent, in my quest to obtain all of their masks I have learned to appreciate them for what they really were. They were not mysterious when they ruled and though many such as Hevnoraak were cruel there were still many others who were not tyrants. One only has to look at Vahlok's story for an example. Not only was he loyal to the dragons but his rule over Solstheim was a time of peace.

You elves would do well to learn from the past and your mistakes like humans have done as well. The companions in whiterun started out as elf slayers but over time they essentially became a warrior's guild and elves have even obtained the position of harbinger of the companions.

As a Khajiit, I think I'll just go with being at the bottom; being the "superior" race is stupid and just makes everyone yell at you.

It's quite peaceful at the bottom :happy:

Even my fellow Khajiit agrees that the idea of superior race is a stupid idea, all it does is makes everyone argue about who the superior race is. Even you elves would learn a lot by thinking about what this Khajiit said. As for me, even though I am a Khajiit I have always identified myself as a Nord but born in the body of a Khajiit and have always identified myself that way even as a child.

But like I mentioned before, there is no superior race. One most work to achieve greatness. Because nobody is born great.

Exactly my point, there is no superior race . . . except maybe the dragons but only because they are technically lesser aedra and therefore technically immortal and thus can not die unless by another dragon, dragonborn, and possibly the greater aedra, especially Akatosh. Now if you excuse me I am going to put this Dragon priest mask on for a minute.

I am Vahlok, has the traitor returned yet? I will rip Miraak to pieces for what he did, he is the reason most of my other brethren were cruel but unlike Miraak they at least had the decency to remain loyal to the dragons.

Now you know that red and italics is my khajiit dragonborn possessed by Vahlok

Except for Nords of Eastern Skyrim. They are born superior.

No, not even the Nords of Eastern Skyrim are superior. Ulfric himself was angry with me for joining the Imperial Legion until I pointed out that the burning pile of trash behind me was the Thalmor embassy. If it were up to me I would let him live just so I could bust him out of jail for one night to have him help me burn the new embassy to the ground. Sadly he did not accept that deal but if he had he would have had the glory of helping the Dragonborn and his Dragon on their monthly raids of the Thalmor embassy.

Imperials are all about order and discipline. Nords are the opposite, rebelious and chaotic. Maybe its my OCD but I favor Imperials. I'll give the Nords credit for their bravery in battle and loyalty to their homeland but they can be supersticious when it comes to magic.

The ancient Nords would like to have a word with the modern Nords in regards to magic though.

I disagree with the idea of a superior race. I do not hate the Altmer, I just hate the Thalmor and I let the Thalmor that I hate them.

Where is Hevnoraak when you need him? He turns troll topics like these into something fun to read and discuss. I am just trying to keep this thread alive so he can possibly post and then the fun will start.

Argonians are surperior. Only race that associates with the Void that Anu and Padomay came from.

Yes, the elven race is so superior that they have been unleashing hell on Tamriel for so long.

Oh and bears.

Bears are superior too.

They managed to kick my ass a several hundred times, no matter what race I play.
