I'm having fun going through the Loremaster's Archive and saw this regarding polyamory in Tamriel (at least in the second era) according to a priestess of Dibella.

“Ah, but the Passion Dancer bids us remember that quality of love is of the essence, not quantity. If the dance transports us, what matter the number of dancers?

However, in regards to Nords:

"Though a War-Wife might be married to a Shield-Brother, or even to a non-warrior, such relationships were (mostly) monogamous."

#skyrim #tesblr #WAHHHH WAHHHHHHHH anyway polyamory thrives in tamriel i'm ignoring the second part #for context on the second part: someone asked about polygamy in nordic culture because of multiple war wives #and it was stated that war wives was interchangeable with shield sisters and referred to female nordic warriors #and did not necessarily refer to someone who was married to them
