I'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 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 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 […]

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, […]
Continue ReadingAnd people thought that Skyrim had borrowed heavily from Game of Thrones before… Strong claim to accuse one of the main characters of a game series of being in an incestuous relationship, when that is explicitly stated in the game, but hear me out. I swear this is not an entirely baseless claim to make. […]
Continue ReadingTamriel Ahh, the Empire. A truly amazing dominion of semi-independent states headed by the prestigious Septim Dynasty, who followed in the footsteps of the Reman Dynasty and Saint Alessia herself to forge a continent spanning regime. While the capital, the Imperial City is found in the central province of Cyrodiil, The Empire also controls the […]
Continue ReadingHey everybody! Jeancey here! I spent the holiday weekend doing something I’m sure most of you would enjoy, attending a gaming convention, the Penny Arcade Expo! For those of you who don’t know, the Penny Arcade Expo, usually abbreviated as PAX, is a yearly gaming convention which started in Seattle. There are other PAX events […]
Continue ReadingI am rather concerned about the well-being of aging pieces of Elder Scrolls lore. Bethesda doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to preserve the older parts of canon, so it falls to us to keep their memory alive until the finally do safeguard it from Oblivion. In the spirit of preservation of things fading […]
Continue ReadingYou know what I hate? Complaining. Yes, I understand the intense irony of that claim, but it’s absolutely true. I know that most of my blog posts are nothing but barely concealed rants about the smallest details relating to the series, ranging from complaining about swimming mechanics to lengthy tirades over a simple question, but […]
