Questions of Lore., Ask anything! Options

[Black Hand]

Since we started discussing it in the Role-Playing Forum, the idea occurred to Elizabeth Hollow me to have a dedicated thread where any could go too to ask questions relating to Lore in general.

Now, I don't want this to be TES-exclusive as Bethesda has expanded their repertoire a bit, so I invite others who are indeed masters of their respective domains to jump in and answer the many subjects I will not be able too.

To keep it simple, I think a simple format of:

A.) Ask question.

B.)Loremaster quote question and answer, providing links if necessary as others may wish to learn of it in greater detail.

C.)Where it can be avoided, no needless quote pyramids. Okay, okay that's a personal thing...but still: So much quotations!! Though I understand, sometimes your on a phone and can't really do the detailed snipping.

Now these are only guidelines as I see it. Maybe you have a better idea, and should go with that.

Now, my 'expertise' is limited to the The Elder Scrolls Series, and despite my bragging, there are definitely maybe somethings I don't know, but may be able to point in the right direction.


Alright, lets light this candle! Who gets to ask the first question?

[Kiln]

So it has been a while and my lore is a little rusty.

My question is, was Nerevar solely responsible for the chain of events that destroyed Morrowind?

Weeeell, it depends on how you want to assign blame for these things, considering it was the Tribunal who wanted to play silly buggers with the Tools of Kagrenac and all that, but the Nerevarine essentially took away the power of both the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur by destroying the Heart of Lorkhan. Once that was done, Vivec no longer had the power to stop the Ministry of Truth falling (and I believe that it had been placed in a chronological stasis of sorts, meaning it still retained its kinetic energy) and so it went smack-bang into Vvardenfel and set Red Mountain off.

So in a way, it was the Nerevarine's fault, but only because the Tribunal were a bunch of dicks beforehand.
