What happened to Akaviri citizens in Tamriel? : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Thu May 03, 2012 7:51 am

At one point after the Akaviri invasion of Tamriel, Reman had pardoned many of the Akaviri soldiers allowig them to become part of the legion and eventually to citizens of the empire. Hell, at one point even a Tesaci ruled the empire. However after the Potentate's death, the Akaviri in Tamriel just dissapeared from history. What happened to them?

One of the Pocket Guides to the Empire mentions that Akaviri surnames were a prized possession, suggesting that they interbred. Also Rimmen was founded by the Akaviri, and by the fourth era their leader was called a Potenate, suggesting Akaviri culture still lives on there.

They dead, fool.

The Rimmen thing does make sense since the last mention of them was fleeing south to there.

Problem is there is no source that claims that they all got killed. They just poofed away.

Guessing they got assimilated into the Imperial race. And I assume most of the Dragonguard's descendants continued to serve the Blades.

Didn't the Morag Tong kill the Last Akaviri Potentate? Maybe they decided to kill all of them? The Kamal invasion may have made the Dunmer very unsympathetic to the Akaviri and quite pissed at both them and the empire.

Also interbreeding and foreign and alien diseases and illnesses may have led to the Akaviri dying out. Tamriel IS a foreign continent to them...

I'd believe that most bulk in Tseasci invasion force consisted of men of Akavir, while numbers of actual Tseasci were few. So mixing into men of Tamriel was easy.

Then again maybe Tsaesci eat-magic is something by which they can turn into looking like men instead of snakes. Maybe that 'ate men of Akavir'-part should be taken literally.

They ate Reman's man-words like Cyrodiil Come at Pale Pass, and be-came like Men, indistinguishable from Nedes.

There were two of "Rimmen." Before came prehistoric, gilt-mount Tonenaka, and Rid-Thar-ri'Datta abandoned that to between the count of long leaps. So, now as then, Thjizzrini whisks here and there; her moon-mapped palaces will never exchange ideas through identical ports in space.

We know what happened to the Dragonguard: they stuck around and pledged themselves to Tiber Septim. And apparently they had unnatural lifespands, which the Remanada chalks up to vampire blood. Either they had blood of Tsaeci, even if they were clearly something else, or the Tsaeci were literally vampiric and passed it on to them. Or perhaps all Akaviri men were like that.

That's what I assumed. That the Tsaesci and the Akaviri men became a single race. And they interbred with the Nedes of Cyrod. Lore somewhere says that Akaviri features are appreciated amongst the Cyrodiils (Nibenese?). Also, they're refining making anime to cause Imperial weaboos to squee in annoying teenage delight by the 7th Era.

The dragon broke at Rimmen. Tiber made things boring again. Presumably he saw the value of the knowledge of immortal vampire snakemen trained in the Kiai, but wary of the ramifications of allying his empire with the exiled potentatiary.

"Immigrant snakemen and alien jungles? Nah, dude, [CHIM] that stuff outta here."
