Imagine With Me...

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

Requiem for a Love

Twas years ago your soul flew free As I lay you beneath our tree What gods may be Will answer me When we at last, each other, see

Kneel demands the dragon witch, Eyes burning like coal. Her long rifle doth seek the heart, Her eyes doth seek the soul. No, sayeth the heroes bold, We will not act for naught. Our hearts are ours as are our souls, 'Twas your black heart we sought.

I've always held the belief that Khajiit honor was built around different qualities. Where the Nords favor heroes of strength, wisdom, and bravery to the degree of foolhardiness, Khajiit's greatest figures were cleverer, more agile, and sly. Khajiit don't lack honor, their honor system just stems from different qualities of the individual.

This is why they seem to revere thieves to a great extent. In Nord culture every young adventurer says they're going to be a hero just like 'blablabla of old'. Among Khajiit it's similar, as their youth desire to be the most clever and successful.

I'm not so sure about them adapting to another system of honor, but I'm sure they understand it. And being clever as they are, they'd understand how to attain rank and status within it.

Nords would probably hate khajiit because they don’t share the notion of honor, but at the same time it’s canon that they do admire the figure of the Nord hero in wulfharth - and their story does include the ones without honor being punished. I think khajiit are very communitary, and if the notion of honor is often overlooked, it’s because they’d put “flee for your life it’s important” over “defend your name”. The only loopholes being : leaving someone of your community/someone of trust (in wulfharth’s story, the khajiit that sided with his enemy and left dro'zira alone to support him where shunned); second loophole being defending your homeland and keeping elsweyri culture going strong. I think that second​ point could be applicated with the khajiit presence in Skyrim : khajiit are very clever and immigrating as individuals living in Nordic society would be accepted and easy (like j'zargo), but they still keep on their nomadic caravan lifestyle at the risk of being kicked out

If you notice, it's similar to what a sustained arc of electricity looks like. Both change in similar fashions as they seek the path of least resistance.

I’ve considered this at some length before. The Minotaurs were a proud people that were reduced to little more than beasts on the edge of society by a fanatical religion. There’s certainly a regal nature to them that is sadly lost in the games.

As the whole ‘dragon blood’ thing goes, it’s hard to say because Alessia’s bloodline were the original Emperors. They were eliminated only to be replaced by the Septim line. Both were able to wear the amulet, both may have consisted of Dragonborn.

So then is Dragonborn an inherited trait at all?

Okay weird lore observation. Heirs of the dragon blood are capable of wearing the amulet of Kings. Traditionally that refers to the heirs of the imperial throne. It's been inferred by some that all of the heirs of dragon blood are technically dragon born and could absorb dragon souls. One of the first (if not the first) MINOTAURS was an emperor and the son of Alessia no less. Thus it would stand to reason that not only could a minotaur wear the Amulet of Kings, but could also absorb dova souls?

it hasn’t been clarified whether the dragonborn who can wear the amulet of kings are the same as the dragonborn who can absorb dragonsouls. nonetheless the idea of minotaurs being able to wear the amulet of kings is… very interesting ngl 

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)
