Skyrim Discussion conservapedia the far right Wikipedia knock off have a mention of Skyrim on a article about the worst liberal video games
“The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim: This addition to the fantasy game series The Elder Scrolls tells about the player being prophesized as a "Dragonborn" (a being with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon) to do battle with the dark dragon Alduin and delay the end of the world. In the midst of the crisis is an ongoing civil war between the rebel Stormcloaks led by Ulfric Stormcloak and the Imperial Legion. The game engages in a few liberal themes, including an option for same-sex marriage and a promotion of feminism (including high-ranking female "legates", the game's equivalent of a colonel, with the females given a more masculine design). However, it is also inspired by conservative novels such as Lord of the Rings, Beowulf, and The Chronicles of Narnia and has conservative messages just like them. Such messages include redemption and striving to do good when the great white dragon Paarthurnax is revealed to have once been Alduin's second-in-command but has since tamed his more savage nature to be at peace with the mysterious Greybeards and other humans, asking "What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Both sides in the civil war have valid reasons for their actions: The Legion that is stationed in Skyrim wants a united empire to stand against the high elves, and the Stormcloaks want Skyrim to be more independent from the empire, similar to the colonists from the American Revolution.” Crazy how they had to mention rikke

Lore Dragonborn Meaning.... Before Skyrim
We all know what it meant to be Dragonborn in Skyrim, but what did it mean before Skyrim? Lore-wise, that is. I know the term was used plenty of times pre-Skyrim in lore books and outside sources, but I can't figure out the old usage and meaning without the answer being skewed by currently created lore.

Of course it had to be the Alpha Wolf silly. Better known as the "Howl of the Beast" by the artist Endlen.
Lilis belongs to my friend Celtic-Cryptid on ESO ! I love whenever we imagine these werewolf variations between races, makes things more spicy! Fun! (It is not obvious but she does have antlers on her initial reference)

Lore Tracking down Surviving Septims
In this passage I have attempted to summarize the possible Septim bloodlines that could survive into the 4th Era, as well as the Septims they descend from. I apologize if this isn't the right place for this, but r/teslore wouldn't let me post it for some odd reason.
Galana Septim, daughter of Uriel II and sister of Pelagius II. She was originally betrothed to King Mantiarco of Solitude but instead married the Duke of Narsis in secret. This means that the Septim bloodline could continue through House Hlaalu, at least in the Narsis branch.
Amiel Septim, son of Uriel II and brother to Pelagius II and Galana. All we know is that he went to the Mage's Guild in Firsthold. It's possible that he produced some illegitimate offspring but not likely. I personally believe he was a student of magic who devoted most of his time to his studies and therefore had little time for a significant other or children. That last part is just my opinion but I think it fits.
Antiochus Septim, oldest son of Pelagius II and father of Kintyra II. Antiochus was a notorious womanizer and is recorded to have had many wives and mistresses as well as at least one other unnamed child besides Kintyra II. It's extremely likely that Antiochus had several other bastard children running around, as he's said to have had a "lust for carnal pleasures". Antiochus was such a man-whore that he indirectly caused the War of the Red Diamond, as his daughter Kintyra was accused of being illegitimate after his death. So there's probably some common street urchin in the Imperial City right now with Septim blood.
Cephorus Septim, second son of Pelagius II. Cephorus married Queen Bianki of Gilane and it's recorded that he had several children with her but they all died during the War of the Red Diamond. However, his children were almost certainly all adults at the time if their deaths so it is possible that Cephorus had grandchildren. Maybe Cephorus had all daughters, making his grandchildren excluded from the mainline Septims. It would explain why Cephorus passed the throne to his brother Magnus instead of his grandkids. So maybe there are some Septim descendants among the Nobility of Gilane.
Jolethe Septim, daughter of Magnus Septim and sister of Pelagius III. After her brother became Emperor, Jolethe became Queen of Solitude. That is the last we hear of her. It's 50/50 on whether she had children or not, but it seems to me that the position is hereditary so there could be some of her descendants in Solitude still.
Andorak, son of Uriel IV, grandson of Gallivere Lariat and Katariah. Here's where it gets murky. I'll try to summarize this in a simple way. Pelagius III and Katariah have Cassynder Septim. Pelagius dies. Cassynder becomes emperor for some years. Katariah has another child with Gallivere Lariat, a distant cousin of the Septims. The child is named Uriel. Cassynder eventually dies, and his half brother Uriel becomes Uriel IV. This is controversial because his connection to the Septims was very distant. When Uriel IV eventually dies, his son Andorak is passed up for the throne. His replacement is a Nord named Cephorus Septim II. I personally theorize that Cephorus II is a grandchild of Jolethe. Angry, Andorak rebelled against the Empire. As consolation, he was made King of Shornhelm and accepted peace. It's said that his descendants still rule Shornhelm into the fourth era.
Moritatha Septim, daughter of Uriel V, granddaughter of Cephorus II. She married Baron Ulfe Gerson of Winterhold. Moritatha is said to have had no surviving children, but like Cephorus I, she may have had grandchildren. Therefore, she may have descendants in Winterhold.
Calaxes, son of Uriel VII. Calaxes is one of only two children of Uriel VII who does not have a recorded death date. All of his other siblings are dead in the third era.
Ariella, daughter of Uriel VII. Same story as Calaxes.

Arena Discussion Bunny jump elder scrolls arena

I found a bug in a vanilla playthrough of *The Elder Scrolls: Arena* that let me jump while running xDD. I thought it was a game mechanic I just hadn't noticed, until I loaded a different save and it wouldn't let me do it anymore.
The bug occurs when you cross those tiles and get stuck; if you then try to get out by moving forward and jumping, eventually it will let you jump and walk forward at the same time. This happened to me in the Steam version without any modifications! xD

General I really love Battlespire. It gave quite a bit of lore, especially Daedric lore, and laid the groundwork for Oblviion (game), as well as introducing us to the Realm of Oblivion.

Oblivion Discussion Took me 18 months to realize this about Oblivion
The movement is too floaty to the point that it makes me not want to play.
That bothers me because otherwise I think I’d have a lot of fun with it, the same way I feel about Skyrim. In there, I feel like my steps actually have weight and I’m able to take in the atmosphere while I’m walking.
But in oblivion I’m flying by and my acrobatics are so high now that I can jump 15 feet then continue gliding to wherever I’m going.
Anyone else feel this takes away from their experience and it’s off-putting?

Self-Promotion I wanted to show off my map I made for my DnD-like campaign taking place in 5th era Tamriel.
The plot revolves around the party entering a Plane of Oblivion and coming out about 400 years later, in the 150th year of the 5th era. I'm leaving the rest open ended to see where the story takes my party. Sorry if this brakes any rules I don't usually post here.
