Nords, On Earth and on Nirn Options

[Abu the Cat]

I find the following interesting. Did you know that the Nords that were on Earth lived in Northern Europe? And, Tamriel reminds me of Europe (for the absence of katanas and dai-katanas except for the Akaviri ones), and the only unmodded katanas that are in-game are Akaviri. Akavir reminds me of Asia, by the way. So, anyway, Nords on Earth lived in Norther Europe. And Nords on Nirn live in Northern Tamriel, other wise known as Skyrim. So, I've gathered the following:

Tamriel = Europe

Nords on Earth = Nords on Nirn

Yes, I was very bored that day driving to the mall.




So, we all know now what the equivilant of Nords are that were on Earth.

Tamriel reminds you of Europe? Huh?

The deadly swamps of Black Marsh remind you of Europe?
The vast deserts of Hammerfell remind you of Europe?
The unpleasant, ash-covered island of Vvardenfell reminds you of Europe?

I’m guessing you meant Cyrodiil.

Ok:
I'm pretty sure Europe has lizards.
Doesn't Isreal have deserts?
And, aren't deserts unpleasant to be in?

No, I meant ALL of it. You see, I think High Rock has alot of vegetation (it doesn't say in the pocket guide you get w/ the collector's eddition), so, yeah, and Valenwood, yeah, and Elsweyr, yeah(?/.)

Tamriel = Europe is a massive oversimplicfaction.

You'd have to ignore the fact that Morrowind not only has deserts made of ash but also a massive volcano, has no horses and most of the fauna consists of giant insects and reptiles.

And the fact that Blackmarsh is populated by sentient lizardfolk, along with a variety of nasty beasties such a swamp levithan (more GIANT lizards, yay!) flies that are like airborn pirannas, etcs.

And the fact that Elseweyr is partially desert, partially jungle, and populated with a race that varies from elf-like to looking like a Feline the size of a SUV.

And the fact that Valenwood has massive trees, and is populated by cannibalistic elves, who refuse to use wood from Valenwood in the construction of anything even a bow, etc.

AND the fact that Skyrim is really mountainous, the throat of the world and all that jazz.

Um. Yeah. Welcome to Europe. Don't step on the grey skinned elf's pet bug, watch out for the elf gnawing on your ankle and try not to wake the old Nord up unless you want to be turned into a bloody mist when he speaks.



If you want Europe. HIGH ROCK is Europe. Why? Well, Breton is a word mean british or britain or something like that, IIRC. The Kingdoms there fight incessantly (like Europe used to - Especially Daggerfall and Wayrest who have a rivallry resembling that of Britian and France) the scenery is all european, etc.

High Rock and its' inhabitants are your generic european place/peoples.
