Did You Know: Yagrum Bagarn, the self-styled "Last Living Dwarf", was in an "Outer Realm" during the disappearance of the dwarves? When he returned, he couldn't find any of his people, despite searching all across Tamriel for any evidence of any other survivors or what happened.

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

As you make your way through the crowd, dutifully filling glasses as discretly as you can, the lonely Dunmer leaning against a cabinet catches your eye. You pause.

He's not on the list, you're sure of it- you could recite it by heart by now. Yet, he had to be allowed in somehow, and no one seems to even notice him. You recognize the moon on his outfit as part of Azura's crest, as confirmed by the sunrise colors of his robes, but you wonder where the star is. As you watch him from afar and wonder whether you should report this stranger, his gaze meets yours- and for a fleeting moment, confusingly, you feel another pair of eyes staring back. You resolutely turn your attention back to the other guests. The amount of gold the Embassy offers isn't nearly high enough for you to get concerned with whoever this might be.

Artist comment under the cut :

Today's guests (?) to the @tes-gala are my Nerevarine, Devathi Sol, and his friend mind roommate life partner lover soulmate prophecy twin (a complicated and not necessarily healthy situation) Nerevar.

It's the first time I draw his 4E201 version! While originally angry and misanthropic, Devathi has considerably mellowed out during the 200 years he spent away from Tamriel. Nowadays, he's more curious of people, while still retaining a good measure of grumpiness. In his time as the Nerevarine, he was a buff spellsword, striding across Vvardenfell like nobody's business; two centuries of arcane studies later, he lost most of his muscles and gained some weight, but he's also a well-rounded, powerful wizard with a killer mustache.

My take is that the people of Tamriel don't see the ghost of Nerevar. His soul resides in Moonshadow, and he's been bound to Devathi since he put Moon-and-Star on. At best, those with strong ties to Azura can feel his presence on occasion, but Devathi is the only one who sees and hears him fully. Nerevar could've left after the defeat of Dagoth Ur and the resolution of the prophecy... But shh 🤫

I wanted them to have matching outfits, with Devathi wearing sunrise colors while Nerevar wears sunset ones. As to how they got here, or the logistics of ghost dressing up- I'll leave that up to you!

I think zos should allow the vestige to pick flirt options for the villains in eso just for shits and giggles.

Oh absolutely, the responses you'd get would be fucking golden. You'd get responses ranging from 'tf is wrong with you, I am trying to KILL YOU' to 'haha promise?'

Imagine being able to flirt with past villains too, the sheer potential for comedy is right there!!!
