This is a question that’s put past me every so often or that I end up explaining, so I decided last night that I’d start writing a post on this, as I had my cookies and milk and was managing my Chelsea FC save in Football Manager… Because my mind gives me random information not […]
Continue ReadingEnric Milres doesn’t make sense. 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 […]
Continue ReadingEbonarm does not make sense. I just finished a long-overdue update to the Necromancy lore page. Many thanks to Legoless, Hargrimm, and others for your help. I’m looking at starting a new project this weekend, so for now, I’ll just incorporate my previous rant about Ebonarm into this series. Long story short, we haven’t heard […]
Continue ReadingOkay, I’m putting aside my planned rant to just acknowledge the delightful new entry in the ESO Loremaster’s Archive, Moon Bishop Hunal Answers Your Questions. Our very own Legoless, “Doyen of the United Explorers of Scholarly Pursuits”, got a question answered on the nature of the dro-m’Athra, the Khajiit’s take on the Daedra. For those […]
Continue ReadingMorian Zenas, renowned conjurer and author, doesn’t make sense. ESO Disclaimer This is the first ESO contradiction I’m addressing, so let me point out: the story of ESO isn’t finished yet. There are a lot of inconsistencies, a lot of loose ends, but it’s heavily suspected many of them are going to be reconciled in […]
Continue ReadingGaiden Shinji, first Arena Blademaster and hero of the Thirty-Year Siege of Orsinium, doesn’t make sense. Check the dates in the images below. TES: Arena: TES IV: Oblivion: TES V: Skyrim: TES III: Morrowind first introduced Poison Song, a novella series taking place in 1E 675. The characters know of Gaiden Shinji and the Siege […]
Continue ReadingPlitinius Mero didn’t make sense. Background Once upon a time, Queen Barenziah was a paragon of virtue, bravery, and wisdom, so sweet she gave everyone toothaches. At least, according to the fairy tale that is the Biography of Queen Barenziah. No one really pays attention to this official biography, except to learn a few extra […]
Continue ReadingIntro: TL;DR I’ve had far less time to dedicate to the UESP in recent months. As it stands, it is taking me months to revise one damn page! But giving some much-needed attention to the blog should be achievable. So I will be posting a weekly blog about some inconsistency in TES lore. Don’t worry, […]
