Ballad Of The Fall

Fargoth’s hiding place is a hollow stump in a small pond in town.

i guess this isn't really lore but in the minute amount of hours i've put into morrowind it's the thing that bugs me the most - what the fuck is the deal with fargoth? And his 'hiding place.' i'm too scared to find out for myself

i really, truly, do not have a clue. fargoth scares me 

Khajiit don't really 'admire' Lorkhan. They revere him the way the people of Vivec (the city) revere Bar Daau. Sort of, "Holy hell, please don't crush us even though you probably totally could with like, 0 effort."

Lorkhan's particularly interested in the Khajiit it seems for whatever reason, since he gets their 'bent' dead.

here’s some tea

the three factions that worship lorkhan or at least view him in a positive light all belong to the pact  

Imagine with me...

Orcs discovering makeup.

Orcs finding the boldest red to coat on their lips because, "It's supposed to make it look like they're flush with blood."

Orcs circling their eyes furiously with eyeliner to bring out the PURE FIREY FURY within and terrify their opponents.

Orcs of all sexes and ages doing their daily things, talking, fighting, all with their faces done up and not one of them finding it unusual.

Orcs being touchy on the subject with outsiders because, "How did the humans find this before us? This is so much better than warpaint."

Orcs swarming high society shops whenever they raid or trade with a city and terrifying the noble customers as they march out with arms full of the highest fashions.

Orcs complimenting each other on a particular style or color as screaming people run by and surroundings burn.

Orcs pitching a fit when they can't find their favorite brands.

Ballad of Night

Arise my brothers, our night is not done. We stand at the gates fighting dozens with one. At dawn we'll sing songs of this glorious fight. Guardians alone will outlast this night. The foes fear our hammer, our bullet and blaze. Bear your dark helmets, no fear in our gaze. The glory of dawn tis a beautiful sight. One we'll only see if we outlast this night. Their horde is vast, this army of dark. But we are blessed with the Travelers mark. We will not give up will not yield to this blight. It cannot be long, we must outlast this night. Their blades are brutal, their hatred unyielding. So eager to burn what we all would die shielding. Don't may bring blood but that future's still bright. To me my brothers we'll outlast this night.

Can we step back for a second though and look at this twitter thread without any blinders whether that be on any level concerning representation in media, to realize how aggressively presumptuous the Twitter OP is being?

Outright, the focus is on ‘their’ culture. On ‘their’ tiny little aspect of this vastly creative effort that has been almost universally loved by those who’ve seen it. Things like this, people trying to control creators, to punish those who want to make something if it isn’t made to ‘their’ specifications, are the modern equivalent of the old Catholic Church arresting artists who made things the organization found “untasteful”.

Outrage culture is just a thing we have to deal with for now. People are going to flip their lids and go on childish vendettas against people that don’t fit their vision of a good artist or media maker. But preemptively throwing an aggressive and accusatory tantrum about something no one has even SEEN yet is where I draw the line.

You want to see representation for your culture? Right now that’s you. And by that example your culture is whiny, self-interested, and narrow minded.

High fantasy worlds based on real life geography and culture amazes me every time! 

Wild and Winter King

Out the north comes flying fast Master, guide and mentor None need bow or cry aloud In service, King of Winter. Voices pure, without waver Tales and ballads sing Loudest voices wail against Wild and Winter King. Stalwart stand the men of kings Faces stony, mild Eyes toward not foes nor flight But King of Winters Wild Ever shall naysayer's cry "Kings are cowards" ring Insults fall upon wise ears "Not I" speaks Winter King

Demons aren't just misguided, they're deeply corrupted, their very values made into malicious and aggressive aspects. In their state, the demons don't want to spend all the energy to cross the veil simply to occupy a weak, rotting corpse. They want to have considerable influence and ability, very difficult when you're trapped in a bag of bones. A living mage host provides extraordinary power, a much easier method to cross the veil around the already thinned aura of the mage, and a form that can not only endure physical trauma but grow in power. A living host could become stronger, a dead one cannot.

CONFESSION:

If a spirit can possess a tranquil or a dead body and restore even partially their connection to the fade (Doing this by force in the lore is called Necromancy). Why do demons take such disinterest? In that, spirits and demons are the same. Demons are the description of spirits who were once innocent and have been misguided by their own or others intentions (Such as the Fear Demon in the fade DA:I)            

Since Khajiit are born under very specific Lunar cycles, I'd say their celebration is less individual and more of a group effort.

I can imagine a small army of similar looking specimens gathering in celebration every phase for loud and raucous celebration of their particular phenotype.

Also it's fun to imagine a birthday party for a hundred housecat sized mages.

lets have a headcanon thread to clear the air. reblog this with your favorite TES race + if/how you think they celebrate birthdays
