The Dunmer Master Post of my favourite NPCs from Vvardenfell and ESO so far: Archanon Tarvus and ‘Living God’ Lord Vivec, Disaster Elf Revus Demnevanni, and Ashur and Naryu of the Morag Tong.
I am loving this game so far, it is the high fantasy MMO I never knew I needed.
“Welcome to Markarth, safest city in the Reach.” Within ten minutes of arriving I’ve witnessed a murder, become caught up in a civil war, and found Molag Bal squatting in someone’s basement.
And then I got killed by a goat.
How they could have the audacity to use the word “safe” in the same sentence as the word “Markarth” is fucking beyond me. This city is 120% stairs.
Baby Khajit are often mistaken for kittens and small cats, so they would accidentally be adopted by loving humans, who soon freak out when the cat fucking talks back.
SO…
‘who ish the cutesht of them all??’
‘I am’
Now that would be a story for the ages.
Fun fact: Every form of feline in the Elder Scrolls series is actually a breed of Khajiit. Apparently what form of Khajiit you’re born as is defined by the cycle of the moons
OMG WHERE DID THIS CHART COME FROM ITS GREAT I LOVE IT
Well, not EVERY feline, there are cats who are genuiely cats. However, some khajiit really do resemble housecats. Other resemble tigers. And others resemble mer (bosmer, more specifically.)
imagine being the oldest child but you’re a fucking housecat
The ones that look like ordinary housecats are naturally incredibly gifted with magic. Like, more powerful than Altmer. There are horror stories from people who tried to invade Elsweyr only to discover fireballs raining down on them from the highest branches of the trees, where even Bosmer can’t climb. Those really big ones meanwhile are referred to as “battlecats” and carry other warriors into combat. Every single one of them has at least human level intelligence.
And yeah which one you’re born as depends on the phases of the moons when you’re born, so a family will usually be a random scattering of types. Kind of like how the birthsigns work, except instead of ‘you run a little faster’ or ‘you have a little more magic’ the result is ‘you grow up to be a fucking tiger’.
There are reasons I really want the next elder scrolls game to be set in Elsweyr.
i’m just gonna let this cat’s name speak for itself. it is AMAZING.
a dapper gentleman
this lil cutie was part of a quest in the ebonheart pact campaign! :’)
found at the mages’ guild in skywatch. i hc this lil guy is named after telenger the artificer. (vanus galerion named him. whether because he was fond of telenger at the time or to piss him off, idk)
there are a lot of cats hanging around the mages’ guild in skywatch, including this guy :’)
a cute cat hangin with my favourite khajiit bro raz!
reason #58453 why I love ESO: all the cats you see running around that have names. this is by no means all of them, just a few of my faves :’)
Every time this post comes back across my dash I remember that Alfiq are indistinguishable from normal house cats and I wonder if humans and elves ever just pick them up and are like “Look he’s so cute let’s name him Mister Wibblepaws!” but they’re actually holding an incredibly powerful mage.
