    Hehe, and we will be looking forward to your visits. This is inline with something I have been thinking about for some time.

    Lore can't be too much. A reader who is not so much into it won't even notice the things that are too deep for them, on the other hand, if you don't go deep, it might seem boring to a reader who likes deep lore.

    Lissette, you can make even a Daedra-worshipping Thalmor make a perfect sence))))

    Well, as long as Pelly isn't a king of all Daedra or Talos' bastard son, I might read that storyXD

    After all, I highly dislike the implications of him being a time-traveler even in the original story, since I can't see any reason behind this other than Kirkbride being a big fan of the Terminator movie.

    Would be pretty ironic if he'd said, "I'll be back," instead of Reman's name when he was ripped apart.

    And Pelly as Talos's bastard son? I believe it's the other way around.

    That Talos is a bastard is a known fact, but I doubt he's Pelly's son))
    It's just one of the recent stories that caused me the WTF reaction, there the LDB was said to be a son of Talos, the author probably didn't know that Talos actually lived some 700 years agoXD The guy also worshipped ALL the Daedra at once, which always squicks me as well.

    Yay! So we can make up any old shit and call it 'lore-friendly', as long as our character believes it?! Brilliant, thanks Phil!

    Actually that's really interesting. And sort of buggers up the reply I was planning....

    *Lissette

    When I first mentioned my idea regarding Dragon Shouts and Paarthurnax, you definitely screamed…..

    Screamed, yelled, hollared,and I suspect more than a little cringed....

    Lol, I know. I have calmed significantly since then. I still scream a little inside once in a while.

    Personally, I now can't stop thinking about dragon sex. Why oh why did someone have to bring that up?
