Author’s note: After some feedback, I have decided to make this a three-part analysis instead of a two-part analysis, as was originally planned. This will allow me to address all points I wish to make in an organized fashion without getting too long-winded in any individual post. The debate between Skyrim players about which side […]
Continue ReadingIt’s time for another scheduled gaming-related post, but since I haven’t got the time or energy to write a full-on review, I’ve decided to share an excting (and nerve-racking) story from my Mount & Blade: Warband save. To give a brief overview, I’m a Lord in Sultan Hakim’s Sarranid Sultanate, and I’ve been rather instrumental […]
Continue ReadingThe Third Era doesn’t make sense. I recently completed a review of the Third Era lore page, and added several discrepancies in the Notes section. In addition to all that, the introduction in TES Arena also says the following: Now, 492 years after Tiber Septim took control and kept the peace, the land of the […]

This one is similar to the previous discussion of Morian Zenas, in that ESO threw a network of scholars back in time, presumably so that the game could incorporate their works. In his book Sacred Witness, Milres mentioned meeting the scholars Pelarne Assi and Ynir Gorming, authors of The Brothers […]
Continue ReadingI've been meaning to write this for a while, but especially now with the announcement of Tamriel Unlimited, I feel that now is the time to write my thoughts of the game. For some context, I have been playing ESO for 265 hours (according to the in-game counter) on one character – granted, probably […]
Continue ReadingThe mother of Potema the Wolf Queen doesn’t make sense. It’s short and sweet this week. As Potema’s lore page says, “Biography of the Wolf Queen gives the name of Potema’s mother as Qizara, while the historical fiction The Wolf Queen labels her Quintilla.” There’s no apparent reason for the discrepancy, but maybe we’ll get […]
