See, now I kinda wish I'd made a crazy Dunmer who only worships Padomay. Not even Sithis, just the concept of Padomay.

@Lemons

Only if Padomay is referred to as Sithis' sugar daddy

I read some pretty freaky things about Vivic's sex life that makes me assume that the author is high on dunmeri bath salts.

@James I think you mean the Nine Divines.

Heretic.

@Lemons

Technically, Talos worship is heresy because some upstart human prick went around stomping elven society before somehow getting up in Divine club and forcing all the elves he subjugated to worship his stanky feet.

What a dick.

The Elder Scrolls: Vengeance of the Deep

@LadyTabris To my understanding, that's still chugging along just fine.

@POOHEAD189 Feel free just to make up a name in the absence of information.

Just as long as it's not Hogwarts.

@POOHEAD189 High Rock and Alinor are both homes to incredibly magic-oriented societies. The Mage's Guild was an Imperial institution, for all intents and purposes, it would be a bit silly to presume it was the only avenue available to societies where most individuals are magically inclined. Even Skyrim has the College of Winterhold, it wouldn't be unreasonable that there's a number of institutions available to the Breton and Altmer individuals in their homelands, or private tutors.

@POOHEAD189 Yeah, I recall reading a quote of his in response to people thinking LotR was an anti-industrialization story and he replied that it was fundamentally a Catholic tale.

He also uses a lot of stuff from Norse mythology, like Elves and Dwarves (Dwarves made weapons and goods for the Aesir, which are the order of beings that Odin, Thor, Tyr, Freya, etc belong to. They made Thor's hammer, Mjollnir). Trolls are basically Jotunn, the Nazguls' winged beasts are basically the Nidhogg. Surtr is more or less the Balrog.

@Dervish Do elves mature at the same rate as humans, in this canon, and simply have extended lives?

@BurningCold

Elves do canonically live longer than races of men, just accounts differ a bit. To keep things simplified, Orcs have a similar lifespan to humans (partially due to how they're pretty far removed from Aldmer purity thanks to basically being the spawn of Malacath), and due to their own divergence from the Aldmer, the Bosmer and Dunmer we pretty much have living for around 250 years if they're healthy, although certain individuals have lived for many centuries. The Altmer are the ones with 1000+ year lifespans because they're pretty much the closest thing to their ancestors, the Aldmer, which were created directly from the Aedra.

The only other race that is probably going to live for ridiculous amounts of time are Argonians given their near-immunity to disease and reptilian-like physiology. Seeing as crocodiles and turtles can basically live for ridiculous periods of time that far surpass mammals, it's safe to say Argonians probably have extended periods of life that surpass men and Khajiit.

@BurningCold I guess I'll spare your eyes some bleach.

My Hider

[SPECIAL NOTE FOR MAGES: For a quick understanding, Highly Proficient skills are equivalent of expert level spells, Moderately Proficient is Adept Level Spells, and Somewhat Proficient is Apprentice level. Keep that in mind when playing your character and picking your proficiencies. Please stick to spells you see in the games, but I’m not against combining some of them if it makes sense, but keep in mind your character would have to be exceptionally talented to do so. Run spell ideas by the GM if you aren’t sure for approval, but if you see it in the games, you should be okay.]

Is this supposed to be that section? I mean no offense, but if so, it is a little unclear. If I've somehow missed the actual bit you're referring to, call me out on my foolishness, please. :)

It looks like I forgot to post the spell limit in the character sheet skeleton, but rather brought it up OOC. I will rectify that.

The Elder Scrolls: Vengeance of the Deep

@Dervish I'm assuming that for mages, a list of spells is not required, rather just a designation of the mage's ability with a specific branch of magic?

@BurningCold

There's a section in the character sheet saying up to 7 spells. We do want to know what they are.

The Elder Scrolls: Vengeance of the Deep

I watched a video about the Simarillion and I gotta say, it sounds a lot like the Bible in a lot of ways.
