    Of all the far-flung provinces of this great Empire, none may be quite as welcoming as Elsweyr. Don't let their beastly countenance fool you. The Khajiit are, by and large, a friendly and gracious people, eager to host visitors and entice travelers with...

    The Missing God: Looking for Lorkhan

    Justiciar Thorien and I had a nice, interesting and long debate recently regarding the Missing God. I was inspired by that discussion to make a slightly more coherent and easier to refer to topic on the subject. Throughout this article I refer to this dei...

    Legendary Figures: Morihaus

    That Morihaus was the son of Kyne was a solid truth... according to the Song of Pelinal, that is. Is that true? What does it even mean to be a Son of Kyne? The Song of Pelinal talks about Morihaus as being both a bull and a man-bull, rasing the question...

    Lorebook Discussion: Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi

    With ESO Elsweyr on the horizon and the likelihood of more Khajiiti lore coming with that, now seems like a good time to revisit and discuss some of the things we already know about the cat-folk. The format here is pretty simple, we'll start by taking a l...

    Lore question involving Altmer

    I am currently playing an Altmer warrior (2-H Sword, Heavy Armor, Restoration, Heavy Smithing), and having a good time playing him.
    I thought about next trying an Altmer stealth character (Stealth, dagger, alchemy, Illusion.)

    Research: Murkmire

    Idea here is exactly like Karver's Research: Summerset - A place to put screenshots, lore snippets, and discussions of Murkmire lore. I'm a bit late to the party but it's fun to explore at one's own pace. So if you've got ESO and you're exploring Murkmire...

    Talos, the Ninth Divine. There always was one thing that sort of bugged me, especially after Skyrim was introduced. By now pretty much everyone knows what Tiber Septim achieved, how he became a god, because frankly, that is pretty much everything you ge...

    The Shadow of Rajhin: The Khajiit Who Stole The World

    Did Rajhin Use Shadow Magic To Reach Godhood?
    In Elder Scrolls when people often reference a god who stole his power there are usually talking about Vivec or to a lesser extent Talos (which is strange since they both steal\stole just as much). But there ...

    History of Relations Between Redguards and Nords

    Perhaps this is a simple question but I’ve been wondering about the relationship between Redguards and Nords. A historical run down of interactions and such would be very beneficial but if not I’m mainly interested in their ties in the 4th era around the ...

    The Old Gods of the Reachmen?

    While this question may have been answered somewhere in the bowels of the Lore Group, I have a question. Aside from Hircine (Due to Hagraven influence and the whole antlered/horned skin helmets some Forsworn wear), what gods do they worship? I recall some...
