Frankly I'm upset Bethesda didn't give us a remake of Arena or Daggerfall. I realize it would be a lot of work but I'd like to see those games with more pixels

[tes-trash-blog]

i'm probably only going to throw my two cents in once but fantasy game fandoms - Elder Scrolls AND Dragon Age - need to stop pretending like these games are divorced from the political landscapes they were made in. No one is saying you can't like so and so character or even have a fascination with an "evil" faction, but you're gonna get the hard side eye from a lot of people if you're looking at this group uncritically.

These games were not made in a bubble. You can like fantasy for fantasy's sake while still using those media literacy skills they teach you in middle school to critique the things you love. I promise it's not going to kill you.

TESV: Skyrim

Mereth

The Kingdom of Mereth, also called Falmereth, was an independent falmer kingdom that once ruled over most of the province of Skyrim, before the Atmoran-Falmer war.

yeah, this is my pet knight, she's a rescue. i gave her a brief act of mercy and she followed me home and sat outside my door to guard me from intruders. she swore her undying allegiance to me in exchange for a gift of grace and now she sleeps at the foot of my bed and weeps when im late coming home. and yeah, she only eats wet food because she's a snob, also.

An Interview with Vivayth

Inspired by Bernard Pivot's and James Lipton's Questionnaire

What is your favourite word?

"There are a.. good number of them! Huh. Fervor, sterling... I think- my favourite word has to be an insult—I dare you to call me predictable for this. Anyway, if I really had to pick a favourite, it would likely be sarmissonays'um. There's no direct translation, but it means something roughly along the lines of 'wretched, unholy thing', or.. something like that."

2. What is your least favourite word?

"'Fetid', without a doubt. There is just- something so... I don't know, I don't like the way my mouth moves when I say it, I don't like how it sounds when people say it, I don't like the baggage- like, I keep hearing it be used in reference to swamps, and- well, I don't like to think of my home as a.. 'fffetid swamp', to say the least. Ugh."

3. What turns you on?

"Ambition! Passion! Just- spirit, I suppose? Nevermind the fact that is a seriously personal question, it will never not swell my heart when I can see the light in someone's eyes shine so brightly. We have all come from ash, and there can be no ash without fire, and through fire do we return to the ash from whence we came. And there's few things so beautiful to see someone glow with the energy and- and- the warmth that fire brings."

4. What turns you off?

"I can't stand excess. I look to the people losing themselves to their extravagance, the heaps of luxury that immerses our society at every class, and- there are still ways for some to impress me with their overindulgence and debauchery. Like- congratulations on just-... the emptiness. At least the body and mind are occupied? Ah... just- pitiable, is how I'd describe it. At best."

5. What sound or noise do you love?

"Not everyone would agree with this, but- growing up in Ebonheart, the rumbles of Ash Mountain were something so soothing to me. One might think- 'oh no, danger!', but it's hard for me to feel the shaking ground and think of anything but... life. The land is alive. I'd be worried about silence and stillness. 'Stasis asks merely for itself, which is nothing'."

6. What sound or noise do you hate?

"See, I would say loud noises, broadly speaking, just- bad. But that's not so much a noise as it is a volume. Anything at a high enough volume can be impossible to deal with, but that doesn't mean it's one particular noise, see? I think for me, a noise I really don't like is just- absence. The absence of noise. It's maddening. It's still, it's silent- no, no, worse than silent. It's nothing. Stillness does not belong to this world, it indicates there's something deeply wrong."

7. What is your favourite curse word?

"Seeing as I already sort of cheated with the earlier question, I'll just- answer for my second favourite curse word, which is 'nchow'. The 'oomph' that it has when you say it out loud after hurting yourself, or you run into some frustrating roadblock or- something like that, it's just- fun, I guess, to say, on top of relieving some of the anger. Nchow! That's the sound of something being kicked, I bet."

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

"I've been told I'd make a good mehra. Delivering sermons and offering my sympathies to the despondent... I'm told I've the lungs and passion to inspire the faithful of ALMSIVI. Were circumstances different, and the climate better, I would've considered it, maybe."

9. What profession would you not like to do?

"You could not pay me to be a caravan guard, or- worse yet, actually, a netchiman. It's not that there's something inherently wrong with the herders and their profession, it's just- I couldn't do it. The smell, the sting-barbs of the damn creatures... and I've heard enough about their temperament to, generally speaking, want to steer clear of them. That sounds like it'd be all sorts of stress that would not be worth the pay, however much netchimen net on average. Like- see, I wear the netch hide, I use their beaks and whatnot, like everyone else- I'm not some sort of... anti-netchiman— I feel like I'm rambling. Can we just move on to the next question?"

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God the Ancestors say when you arrive at the pearly gates beyond the Waiting Door?

[long pause] "...'You did well', and... that's all."

Does Elfo still wander Nirn in the fourth era? I love the idea of other people's OCs encountering him.

Elfo's around until Landfall, so yes!

[tes-trash-blog]

Elfo Facts

1.) Elfo said the first words ever spoken on Nirn. He didn't know it at the time, and neither did anyone else, but the fact remains he spoke the first two words.

2.) The first two words on Nirn were also the last two words.

3.) Elfo loves dancing. He could never get a hold of singing, but he will always dance.

4.) Nothing has ever even scratched his armor, as it's made of something indestructible.

5.) Elfo once severed a dread servant of Molag Bal from the chains of Coldharbour. The Lord of Brutality never forgave this insult.

6.) Shortly after the aforementioned incident, Molag Bal quickly learned how a being such as Elfo persisted for so long on Nirn.

7.) Elfo is as wonderful as he is flawed. There is so much to do, so much to see, and now with his shortened legs he can only take so many steps. He often finds himself unable to decide where to go next.

8.) The forgotten god of luck once met Elfo and wept. Elfo hugged him, and spoke plain words that set wayward Sai straight.

9.) Elfo loves children and babies. He can't understand how they're made but he understands the language only young ones know. Sometimes children speak in the way the others used to, and it reminds him of how things were.

9.5) If he could go back to those first days, the days without the warmth of love and the agony of loss, he would decline.

10.) If Elfo didn't decide to be Elfo, he would have been the first warm breath of spring, or the first rainfall on desperately parched land. It was this kind of indecision that lead to Elfo becoming Elfo.
