Hi!

This chapter is for terminology.

Well, more like things you might not have known.

I looked on the wiki and I found out a bunch of stuff about the Elder Scrolls I didn't know, mainly the races.

OC'S are welcome, but you should hurry because it will be very difficult to incorporate them later.

Now, as this is being written, not much is known about the entire planet of Nirn as a whole.

We just now about Tamriel and the surrounding continents.

So, just letting you know that as I'm writing this, Elder Scrolls Online has just been released. There's some stuff we might not know that's in the game.

And I haven't played it.

In fact, there's probably a book in some game that states what's outside the known lands.

But hey, this is fanfiction. So… Yeah.

These are the lore changes and adoptions:

Kothringi are not endangered down to the last member of their race.

Akaviri people have colonies on the coasts, and do not invade Tamriel each summer.

Snow Elves are also abundant, with their own villages in Northern Skyrim.

Again, I haven't played the Elder Scrolls Online.

I'm providing a list of races you might not have known about. Daedra… I guess I can do those as OC's.

I know a lot of people think that it's a little farfetched to have a Daedra as your OC, but hey, I'm here to please.

Tsaesci are still unknown, but the rest of the Akaviri are known. I'm changing the lore to where the Akaviri are common and don't invade Skyrim each summer.

Also, I can do Dwemer.

They won't be in the first couple of chapters. And the Daedra will be able to speak the same language as the others, as well as their own native language.

Kothringi only have one remaining race member in Online.

I'm altering that. The lore will be altered a lot in this story.

I haven't played the new Elder Scrolls Online, however I have played Skyrim and know its lore.

It's the only Elder Scrolls I've played.

However, I'm using several references for this off Bing images, Wikipedia, and YouTube.

The OC form is at the bottom. Only the "other" section is optional.

As I'm writing this, I have only a few things I want to happen.

So yeah. I may or may not be very prepared.

But that's how all of my fanfictions are, so don't panic.

Some of these races might not be hailing from their original places. Like how I say Nords are from Skyrim and not Atmora.

Some people aren't very deep into the lore and so I gave them a basic level of the lore here.

And yes, I know Cyrodil doesn't have an indigenous race.

Without any more of my rambling crap, on with the list.

I'm starting off with the more common playable races.

Nord-commonly blonde haired blue eyed light skinned people. Hailing from Skyrim.

Breton-commonly black haired brown eyed light skinned people. Hailing from High Rock.

Redguard-commonly black haired brown eyed dark skinned people. Hailing from Hammerfell.

Imperial-commonly brown haired brown eyed light skinned people. Hailing from Cyrodil.

Orcs-commonly black haired brown eyed light/dark green skinned people. Tusks. Bigger than average races. Hailing from Orsinium.

Argonians-hair can be any color. Eyes are red, orange, or yellow, commonly. Reptilian. Hailing from Blackmarsh.

Khajiit-hair is commonly black or brown. Fur is orange, gray, white, black, and yellow. Eyes are blue, yellow, green, brown, or white. Cat-people. Hailing from Elsewyr.

Dunmer (Dark elf)-hair is commonly black or brown. Eyes are commonly red or black, no pupils. Gray skinned. Hailing from Morrowind.

Altmer (High elf)-hair is commonly black or a golden blonde. Eyes are gold usually. Light skinned with a golden tint. Hailing from Summerset Isle.

Bosmer (Wood elf)-hair is commonly brown or orange. Eyes are usually green or brown. Light skinned. Hailing from Valenwood.

Now we move on to the lesser known races. NPC's.

Falmer (Snow elf)-hair is commonly white. Eyes are white, no pupils. Pale skinned. Originally from Skyrim.

Dwemer (Deep elf)-hair is commonly gold. Eyes are gold, no pupils. Gold skinned. Originally from Hammerfell.

Maormer (Sea elf)-hair is commonly white. Eyes are white, no pupils. Pale skinned. Originally from Pyandonea.

Daedra-hair is commonly black. Eyes are red, no pupils. Skin is the color of ash. Horns. Originally from Oblivion.

Kothringi-hair is commonly black. Eyes are brown. Skin is gray. Originally from Blackmarsh.

Tsaesci-scales are all colors. Eyes? Snake people. Originally from Akaviri. In this fan fiction, they have legs.

Lilmothiit-hair is commonly black. Eyes are commonly blue. Fox-people. Originally from Akaviri.

Po' Tun-hair is commonly black. Eyes are commonly blue or green. Tiger-people. Originally from Akaviri.

Tang Mo-hair is commonly brown or black. Eyes are commonly blue or green. Monkey-people. Originally from Akaviri.

That sums it up!

The only race I didn't include was half humans or half elves.

There can be half human/elf half other species people. Excluding Khajiit, Po' Tun, Argonian, Tang Mo, Tsaesci, and Lilmothiit.

Because that's just weird.

I wish all of these were playable.

That would be amazing.

These are all the races I'll be accepting. All of them are Canon, I assure you.

You have no limits on weaponry amount or ability amount. Also, anyone can be the dragonborn.

There can be more than one dragonborn at a time. That's actually what the lore says.

And you can make as many OC'S as you desire.

Example. I made everything short not only because J'tar would naturally not have many possessions but because I didn't want to drag it out. You can make it as long or short as you want.

Try to make a Lore friendly name. If you can't look them up. They have lists.

And your weapons and armor doesn't have to be canon.

The descriptions of races above can be altered in any way you want.
