As we know Skyrim is home to the Nords.

I propose two questions:

• Which race do you think will have the next highest population in Skyrim?
  
• After being driven from Morrowind - due to the Argonians and the destruction of Vvardenfell - how many Dunmer currently populate Tamriel? (Feel free to speak in general terms, i.e. a lot, not many, a few, almost all gone, etc.)

Probably the second biggest crowd is Imperials, then Orcs. A few Dunmers left, if the cities are underpopulated like in Oblivion.

Nords then probably Orcs because of the Orsinum take over. Then likely Dunmer. Very likely there will barely be any Argonians, so that's just the scalies voting.

The Dunmer are hated in Skyrim, I think, but I think there might quite a high population of them... I know it has been a while, but maybe they are still refugees from Morrowind...

Imperials.

Like Crixus (Spartacus reference?) said, Imperials will be second to Nords. Orcs and Dunmer will be somewhat equally and will be third. I think the Khajiit will be the fewest.

Guessing Imperial.

Orc refugees from Orsinium, since they have no home (again) and Lord of Souls said they headed for Skyrim, and reporters said that they found Orc controlled forts

Altmer. Well, they will be when I finish my Racial Purging of Skyrim, allowing the High Elves to set up a Ski Resort to vacation in when tired of the Summurser Isles.

I like the way you think. :hubbahubba:
Dunmer, they might've went somewhere else rather than Solsthiem to escape.

Hard to decide between Imperial and Dunmer. There are probably already a bunch of Imperials in Skyrim, but with the fall of Morrowind, I would bet a lot of Dunmer are now fleeing as refugees into Skyrim. I voted on Dunmer, but it's probably a toss-up between them.

Read Lord of Souls

its the Orcs, all the refugees went there

im thinking bretons...

Either Orcs or Dunmer. As other people have said, they both lost their homelands and large refugee populations moved to Skyrim.

I like all these foreigners. It allows my Nord to be either resentful, or loving towards outsiders, and all that they've contributed to Skyrim's culture in recent years.

Only real fans know its confirmed ORCS!! ARE AS POPULAR!!! THEY ESCAPED AND RETREATED TO SKYRIM SO YEA

Yeah, I'm going to have to say Orcs.

Well since in Lord of Souls the Nords apparently 'gave' the island of Solstheim to the Dunmer(who already had claim to it), most of them are probably there near the southern parts of Solstheim. At least that is what Sul thinks though he does not KNOW. The Orcs however had an entire exodus, after a sacking of Orsinium by Bretons and Redguards. The Orcs were guided by Imperials into Skyrim to take refuge.

So it is likely a throw up between Orcs and Dunmer but I would expect it more like this. From most populous to least, Nords, Orcs, Dunmer, Imperials, Bretons, Redguards, Altmer(Thalmor on the move), Khajiit, Bosmer, and finally Argonians.

The Dunmer will be more populous in the eastern portion of Skyrim and the Orcs will be more populous in the western portion of Skyrim. Though both should be fairly spread out after about 150-180 years of being there. The sack of Orsinium must have been around 4E 10-20 given that the events of Lord of Souls occurs in the 4E 40's and the age of Mazgar, which I am not sure of, seems like she would be about 20 years old or so.

Very interesting. I should really pick up The Infernal City and Lord of Souls.

Yes. Yes you should. :icecream:

Apparently from what I heard from people playing the Demos, after Nords it would be Orcs then Dunmers; which makes sense since they both lost their homelands.

again the orsimer are refugees fleeing from unjust persecution at the hands of the bretons and redguards but orsinium will live on in the hearts of the orcish people and some day we will rebuild!

between orsimer and dunmer
orcs have no land and short life span ,how ever they are loyal to whats left of imperials meaning invasion of black marsh maybe in the future
morowind is completly devistated and what dunmer hasnt been enslaved by argonian are now refugee in windhelm

Sammuthegreat stated that he saw mostly Orcs and Nords

dunmer will be populating over 70% of the normal population

thankyou
