What do you think happened to Cyrodiil 200 years into the 4th era? Is there an official explanation as to what happens? Does the Arcane university still exist? Is Cyrodiil in as much a decline as portions of Skyrim are?

I'm just wondering about all this, as I just tried to do some research and can't find anything official. I only looked at UESP, though.

I was book-flinging furious when I read the first Greg Keyes novel. (Thankfully it was a paperback. No one was harmed. tongue.gif ) Eventually I got used to it being a part of what happened. Still not happy about it, though. My ideas for Morrowind and Black Marsh will just take place in the thousands of years before those events. Actually, I’m getting ticked off just thinking about it again. Grrr!

I’ll pass along what I’ve been told: Lore serves your story, not the other way around. McB’s Knights stories give me a lot of inspiration to go my own way when it suits me, as well as his stories being so very enjoyable to read.

I agree. I'm not going to change lore around to fit any of my stories, though, if that's what you're suggesting.
