#and it was mainly ELDER SCROLLS

[hawkp]

I was listening to an interview that Alexander Siddig did with Trek Geeks and this man said that he stayed up so late playing video games in the 90’s, and was so tired all the time on set, that the producers staged an intervention and were like “We’re going to support you no matter what your answer is but: are you on drugs?”

Hello and welcome to over self indulgent, overly complicated and hamfisted storytelling somehow including the funniest way to implement deus ex machina, some venting and other cringe shit probably idk. All that I'm sure is super esoteric unless you've been here for awhile and I'm so sorry. Looking forward to the "I have no idea what's going on here" notes. Me neither, man.

Part of this was to imply Yorick is tied to Apocrypha like a Daedra and isn't exactly strictly man or mer anymore but uuuh he's largely still a WIP so y'know. Grains of salt.

excuse me as I don't tag every CVF here and inconsistencies. I'm not terribly far with any of them plus my computer doesn't like Skyrim, and I feel like I'd be annoying if I did tag this <:3c

(also tbc, Laury doesn't have an accent. He just mumbles and doesn't hit those hard notes sometimes and should probably have more letters missing but I wanted him to be uuuh somewhat understandable.)

sorry about the uh font. Think some of these pages are only legible if you open image in new tab;;

For the OC ask game, 1, 6, and/or 20 for Thelasa!

Original Ask List

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

For Thelasa, I imagine her being voiced by Keeley Hawes, who voiced Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider video games, particularly Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld (I never played Guardian of Light but I heard Hawes was in that one too).

Voice sample from Legend (28:00-29:06)

These three games were pretty big in my childhood gaming experience and I just loved Hawes' voice in these games, so full of wisdom yet pitching in a dry comment every now and then. That's how I pictured Thelasa in the late game, once the naivete wears off and she's in full-on adventurer mode~

I think one thing that makes Thelasa stand out in Morrowind despite being a Dunmer is her "Cyrodiilic accent," since "Dunmer with Western words and ways are also immediately identified as outlanders -- [they're] very sensitive to accents, clothes, and manners in Morrowind."

Patrick Stewart as Emperor Uriel and Sean Bean as Brother Martin have me settled on Imperials having British accents while TES3's Dunmer voices have me settled on them having American accents (I know this got flipped around in later in Oblivion and later games, but let me have this shhhhh).

6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

She'd probably be an archeologist, which is kinda what Thelasa does in the TES-verse anyway lol. Spend a chunk of the year exploring a bunch of tombs and ruins, then hole up indoors with her books and findings to write more books. Livin’ the recluse’s dream~

Well, Thelasa is only 28 during the events of TES III, so maybe she's getting her Ph.D. or something. She is of the scholarly type.

20) If they fight, what's their weapon of choice?

In combat, Thelasa primarily wields a sword (of the Long Blade skill line) in tandem with destruction magic.

She generally favors one-handed single-edged blades, but I’d say she’s equally skilled in double-edged and two-handed swords too.

I typically associate Thelasa with Goldbrand during the base game late Main Quest and early phases of Tribunal's Main Quest. I imagine that Goldbrand is one of the two artifacts she donates in "The Blade of Nerevar" quest. From that quest onward, she uses Trueflame (which comes in very handy during her Bloodmoon shenanigans).

Thelasa also wields magical staves (like the Staff of Magnus or a custom-enchanted Ebony Staff). While she would normally switch between sword and sorcery (thank you hotkeys), she can whack someone with the staff in case they get too close.

Thanks for the ask~

Elder Scrolls is fascinating to me because the vast majority of the background information of the setting is very obviously written by people with an admirably clear-eyed understanding of how history is mainly just groups genociding the shit out of each other before constructing post-hoc rationalizations of why that was a cool and good thing to do, if they bother justifying anything beyond the level of Might Makes Right. And then the actual main quest plots are often operating at Sword Hero Cleanses The Undesirables levels of These Are The Bad Guys, Kill Them Because We Said So

Can’t sleep and trying to distract myself from my feelings so I’m gonna list a bunch of weird elder scrolls lore that I know

The empire has a prostitutes guild. You can’t hire anyone from the prostitutes guild in any of the games as far as I know but the last time they were alluded to was in Morrowind in the house of earthly delights. So the prostitutes of Tamriel are canonically unionized.

There’s an intelligent race of frost giants that mainly live on boats. Where did these boats come from? Did they evolve to survive on boats? Unclear.

People can canonically get addicted to sweet rolls. There’s songs about it in the elder scrolls online. You can only read the songs though. I don’t think anybody sings them.

In Morrowind people eat basically giant insect eggs

Khajiit put moon sugar in basically all of their food. Moon sugar is a psychoactive substance. It is also quite sweet.

The Redguards used to have warriors who could make swords with their minds

It’s illegal to levitate in the empire. This was made to explain why levitation spells were removed in oblivion. Though the ban supposedly took effect before the events of the previous game. There’s a reason Bethesda writes these games to be full of unreliable narrators. To cover their asses. And it works I’ll give them that.

Unicorns exist. They were invented by the Daedric god of hunting Hircine to be a challenge to hunt. They are not gentle and holy creatures. They can kick your ass. You can hunt one in oblivion. Just the one.

Orcs are like really into aphrodisiacs
