    No. They're just ideas I've been meaning to put into action.

    UESP is also incredibly useful for lore purposes. The Elder Scrolls Wikia is better for game related knowledge I think, such as looking up quest lines, but UESP for lore most definitely. It's always a fun read, and I could spend hours just reading it.
    Looks like we need to have a lore-off. See who is the greater library of knowledge!

    She's definitely important to the dunmer. That we can agree on.

    Here ye' go. Gold locations represent settlements with a gym located there. Along the left side we have electric, rock and dark. In the middle is water and then normal. On the right is steel and ground. Of course, it can be changed to fit anything. :)

    Do you have something for fat creatures? xD

    I sometimes read the books, but it's easier to get the knowledge from UESP, which has the books and the information gathered from them on it. >.>; So, yes, I've probably skimmed by that fact before.
    Fountain of knowledge; you wish. d;

    That's what I thought, but I didn't want to say it and sound stupid. :x
    She's probably pretty high up there. Whenever I think Azura, I think Dunmer, and vice versa.

    Are they all separate or on one large thing? May I see the progress? d:

    Now I want to play either a sload or an obese bosmer. :(

    I suppose it's not mentioned that often in the games, only in the books which I read almost constantly. I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to video game lore.
    I haven't played it either. I just know these things. I'm a fountain of knowledge.

    I know that Azura changed the chimer into the dunmer. I'll have to look up how close she is to the dunmer pantheon though.

    I've made five islands now for a main map. Unofficially designated as normal, water, rock and dark type islands.

    Well, they'll certainly try. d;

    Well, in a roleplay, anything is possible, I suppose. Lol. That could be a fun approach to take, yes.

    Exactly. Good luck to them, lol.

    Okaaaay. Well, I'd like to say I know a decent amount, and that concept sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if I'd known it, at least to that extent. :x That's pretty cool, though!
    I downloaded Arena once. . . . I couldn't really play it. >.>;

    Of course she is~ Long live Azura! xD But, even so, the Dunmer don't just worship Azura to some degree; she's one of the main deities to them, I believe. At least out of the Daedra.

    Pfft, dun do dat. Dat would be bad.

    Because so many people reach that high a level?

    I think they would make good player characters. In an actual Elder Scrolls game they would definitely have to be NPCs, but in a roleplay? I think they could be playable, if done right.

    Sload are not bound by the morals of mortals, silly.

    Here I was, thinking you knew a decent amount about the lore. ;) Khajiit can range from looking almost identical to wood elves all the way to looking like a common house cat, and then all the way up to a giant tiger, depending entirely on the position of the two moons at the time of their birth. Only a few forms have been shown in the games, although the ones in Morrowind are a different subspecies to the ones in Oblivion/Skyrim because they are much more feline. It's their way of explaining how the khajiit have changed significantly over the course of the games. In Arena they looked very, very human.

    The dunmer worship many daedra. Azura is one of the nicer Daedric Princes, so it makes sense that she's worshiped to some degree.

    You never know. I might completely mess it up.

    Yeah, especially if you start reaching level 200+, huh? Lol

    I could see them as NPCs, but I can't imagine them being very . . . playable. I would love to see them as NPCs, though. :3

    And probably get others of their race killed if it benefits them. d;

    They do and they do? How do they change with the moons? Hmm, I'll have to look that up, lol.
    I think Dunmer believe that Azura . . . had some sort of connection to them. At the very least, they worship her.

    Okey dokey! I doubt we'd have to scrap the whole thing entirely, lol.

    Yes, but they have level caps. It makes them useless in the late game.

    They might walk slowly, but they would likely float more often than walk. I think they would be a fun addition to any Elder Scrolls roleplay, honestly, assuming the player can do it well.

    It's why they live so long. ;D

    The khajiit believe that Azura created them. The khajiit change significantly depending on the moons, and considering Azura is closely tied to them it was a logical conclusion. I can imagine her being important.

    I'm working on creating a proper map now. I'll probably be taking the initiative on a few things so I hope I don't change too much. I'll show it to you when it's done and then we can make changes/scrap the idea entirely. x)

    Off the top of my head . . . War Cry works like Fear and Voice of the Emperor works like Calm, correct?

    Ah. I thought I saw that they . . . well, true, I did read that it was unknown what their lifespans were. I suppose I took it to mean the opposite, lol. The "tragic disaster" thing is quite amusing, I agree. But that's also why it might not be fun to play as a Sload, and they would move so slow. It would be cool to be able to teleport, though. d:

    Yes, they value wisdom, but they also value self preservation by utilizing that wisdom. That's why their selfishness is made about ten times deadlier to anyone who becomes an obstacle.

    But Azura is mainly Morrowind, is she not? I know she had a large role in the game.
    Which reminds me . . . Morrowind isn't a human province, so they have done a game outside of the human races! Then there's hope. ;3

    I know I drew the newer map SOMEWHERE, but it might only be on paper, lol.
    It did come out well. Now you'll need to do it on a larger scale, which can be tedious. xD
    I only made a full map in HGSS style once, and that was in Journey Through the Dark. It was a redone map of Sinnoh. d;

    Eh. They only work on enemies up to a certain level, so when you get quite powerful they become useless powers.

    As far as I know, the sload have the longest lifespans of any of the species. It's stated that if they have a finite lifespan or a finite size they can grow to then it has not been discovered by the other species. If they do run into danger they simply teleport away, which means they rarely get into that much trouble. I know that in the sload language there is no word for adventure... the closest word they have translates to "tragic disaster", which never ceases to amuse me. Then they grow so huge that you'd have to be delusional to try to attack it.

    And they may be selfish to some degree, but they still value wisdom highly. Many of their heroic tales involve the heroes spending years consulting with older, wiser sload before starting their adventure, with the rash and impatient sload often dying quickly.

    If they make a game set in Elsweyr, I hope Azura will have a key part in the story.

    I'll take a look at the map! It was only a test mind you, to get my bearings on GIMP. I think it turned out well though, and should make a nice starting point. :)

    I sowwy. ;o;

    I've never used War Cry or Voice of the Emperor, so I don't know. ._.;
    I usually have a fair amount of gold, normally about 10-20K. I just don't like spending it, lol.

    Well, there are natural dangers that they must face. They also don't care much for protecting each other. They're a self-serving race and only really care about themselves as individuals. They could survive that long, assuming their life spans allow them to (magic solves everything, lol) and that they don't get killed by something along the way.

    Good for you, lol.
    What about Daedric Princes? For some reason I immediately loved Azura. She's cool. d:

    It certainly looks good. d: That would probably be the size of the smallest island, if anything. That would be the Ghost-type island, I believe. It's substantially smaller than the others.
    If you go back to the original thread, I think the old map is still up. . . . The main difference is that I've added an island in the center, so there's now eighteen.

    :( It's one of my favourite old television shows.

    Some racial powers become useless at higher levels. War cry for example, and Voice of the Emperor. Hist skin and Highborn never stop being useful though, so I like those kinds of races. I should really play another argonian character though. Heavy armour, dual wielding.
    I have plenty of gold all the time. I buy everything. :3

    On the contrary. Sload live peaceful lives free of danger, and their magic allows them to cater to every need. I imagine most sload would end up living that long, although they would never leave the ocean.

    I love wood elf culture. <3

    Also, I made this. I think I need to make any future ones bigger, but I think it's a decent starting point.

    I didn't know what the heck Blackadder was, so I said something random. ;o;

    I've made one or two Orc characters. Perhaps I'll have to make another, lol. Although, with abilities like Highborn or Histskin, it's nice if you can replicate them, because then you get twice the benefit in a really tight situation. I like Orcs, Khajiit and Argonians based on their looks . . . I . . . I'm odd like that, lol. They all have their use gameplay-wise too, so that's good.
    Ah. I hate buying items, lol. I hoard my money. I'm cheap. xD I get my houses for free via exploits, and I try not to buy much else unless I need to.

    It might. They've also only ever shown one Dwemer in the series, but he was seriously deformed. And, considering the Sload have an immense tower at the center of their archipelago, I would imagine they have some great magical prowess to contend with, lol. Although, I'm not sure if many Sload can manage to live that long. They probably don't grow that fast, either.

    Well okaaaaaaaaaaaaay then. That sounds like fun. >.>;

    I was referencing television shows. >.>

    Elves are very specialised, except for the dunmer. Altmer are designed as mages, bosmer as thieves and orcs are warriors, making the three most common archetypes in a game. Of course, I like most of the species... I just prefer the elves. Especially the orcs. They have an interesting culture, and they have one of the few powers that never becomes obsolete/can be replicated in some other way.
    I can't remember, honestly. There's actually a vendor in the Dawnguard fort that sells all of these salts, so that makes it easier. You can also buy these elemental bolts which is what I usually do.

    Yep. They don't walk as much as they float, and I imagine it looking hilarious. A giant, floating blob. c: Their magical potential is likely something to be feared as well. They also never stop growing, so there are likely one thousand year old sload that grow to the size of mountains deep in the ocean.

    Scroll down on [this] to the part about the Green Pact. It should sum up everything about the bosmer and their dietary preferences.

    Dolphin rape caves. o.O;

    Are they now? I've never tried them, so I wouldn't know. xD I like to have all my characters proficient at sneaking, and many of them use magic to some extent. Mostly I prefer Altmer for mages, Khajiit for stealth and Argonians or Orsimer for melee. Just how I seem to roll, I guess, lol.
    Ah, those were the three arrows in Oblivion, although I believe they were much harder to obtain in it. Glad they brought them back. How many arrows do you get per atronach item? The atronach drops aren't very common, and I could count on one hand how many atronachs I've seen that weren't conjured.

    They also have an interesting speech pattern, going by how N'Ghasta talks to Cyrus in TESA. They're so fat that they need magic or water to walk, lol. They're incredibly adept with the arcane arts, though.

    The Bosmer have a tradition like that? . . . o.O; er . . . that's delightful. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that, lol.

    Blackadder.

    I've made a few human characters, but I've always preferred the others. The elves are far more suitable for each class, I think. Altmer for magic, bosmer for stealth and orismer for melee. Humans are far more rounded, which makes them rubbish at everything in the long run.
    Using fire salts and other atronach-based items you can create crossbow bolts which explode, doing either frost, lightning or fire damage. Plus, Dawnguard allowed you to smith regular arrows, which was incredibly useful.

    The sload are certainly interesting. They'd be very fun to roleplay, especially since any time they try to fake emotion I imagine them being incredibly sarcastic about it to the point where they're just mocking you.

    My bosmer idea was the idea of a mercenary leader. It is bosmer tradition to eat the flesh of those that they slay, but as the leader of a private army he insisted on eating every corpse his mercenary band killed. He grew quite incredibly fat as you might expect, and spent his money on drink and women. His laziness drove the mercenary band into the ground, and he was left with absolutely nothing. He would be incredibly arrogant and mostly useless in a fight. He's a decent businessman, but he'd be the bane of any of the other characters.
