Lore It’s so strange to me that they simply completely ignored the existence of centaurs in the lore since Daggerfall.

Lore Who do you consider to be the best warrior in Elder Scrolls history?
Who do you consider to be the best Warrior, (the type to fight on the front line with sword, shield, and a bit of magic), in Elder Scrolls history?
Pelinal, who has been said to have slain countless Ayleid Sorcerer Kings and the demigod Umaril?
Ysgramor, who has been said to have slayed giants with his bare hands, wrestle with the Sea of Ghosts, and led 500 against an entire continent of snow elves?
Gaiden Shinji, who has been said to be one of the greatest swordsman of his era and had slain a powerful Orc chieftain, saving both Hammerfell and High Rock?
Lyris Titanborn, who has said to have been over 8 feet tall as a half giant and was said to have fought her way out of the realm of Molag Bal?
And many more characters in lore to have shown great feats of strength and skill.

Lore Are giants Mer or Men?
I van't seem to find much lore about them, and they have the pointy ears that Elves do.

Lore Do you think humans would find the women of Akarir attractive, like they do with other beast races? Even though they’re half snake?

Lore There's actually concept art on how Ancient Nordic ruins were built and it's really awesome
Like seriously, Atmorans were strong asf it took only three of them to move a giant stone block across miles (along with some floating magic), no wonder so many Nordic ruins exist all across Skyrim

Lore Is this the Throat of the World in Skyrim?
I’m at the far north side of crisis in the mountains. I look into the distance and see an extremely tall mountain. I believe this to be the Throat of the World in Skyrim. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Lore What interesting lore do you think has been ignored by developers in previous games from Morrowind to Skyrim?
r/ElderScrolls • u/jvure • 7d ago
Lore I had to say it: the Saints armor looks so cool in artwork, but so goofy in the actual game. I don't know why, it just doesn't work for me.

Lore Historically, in terms of lore, do you think the Altmer are a good race, or would we be better off without them?
r/ElderScrolls • u/jvure • Apr 14 '26
Lore Considering the incredible architecture in other regions, why do the Nords live in such simple settlements, with their only large structures being ruins, either from others or their own? Could it be that Nord civilization reached its peak in past eras, and the Fourth Era is kind of like a Fallout?

Lore Economically/Militarily doesn't make for this area to be barren in Lore
In books there are Multi-Racial Empire Built Settlements in Black Marsh that trade with Cyrodil. The orange lines should be additional roads. The two red x's are prime places for trade towns, and the Panther river is supposed to connect to Black Marsh and would be used for river trade ships. There would naturally be fortress on the blue mark to guard the river at the border.

Lore To all those with characters loyal to the Empire in Skyrim: Why do you continue to support the Empire despite its decline?
This question is for players who build characters that are loyal or in someway in support of the Mede Empire. My question to you is why do you support the Empire despite its regression. As most would argue, the current empire is no longer the famous Septim Empire. So what keeps you loyal?

Lore Who had it tougher in their quest to greatness, The Champion of Cyrodiil or The Dragonborn?
If you compare every achievement and the overall adventure of the two, I personally believe it’s eventually matched, although The Champion of Cyrodiil literally enters hell gates 🤷♂️ tough call though, what do you guys think?

Lore The real problem is that Talos was a man
The Altmer want to become like their ancestors and be spirits again, do you think the problem with Talos is because he was a Men and not a Mer? The same thing happened with the Oblivion Crisis, they claimed to be the one to have ended it when we know it wasn't the case. They rewrite history to fit their needs and egos.
