Who is your favorite Tamrielic Figure and Why?

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 9:44 pm

When I say 'Tamrielic Figure' I mean anyone who had a significant influence on the History of Tamriel. Mankar Camoran, Tiber Septime, Nerevar, etc.

Personally, my favorite is Ysgramor, simply because he brought Men (though not all) to Tamriel. He was also a great warrior, wielding my favorite type of weapon in TES and I sympathize with him after learning about what happened during The Night of Tears.

Favorite Tamrielic? Hard to say. Some of my favorites are Tiber and Martin Septim, Jagar Tharn, Paarthurnax, Ulfric Stormcloak, Versidue-Shaie, Galerion and Barenziah.

tiber septim is my favorite but i dont think he should be worshiped as a god also i absolutely hate ysgramor why? hes essentially hitler hes the one responsible for the decemation of an entire race and for what? all because of an attack on a settlement that was likely encroaching too far into falmer territory. sure an attack on a settlement deserves violent retribution but never near total genocide. and after ysgramor's genocide the desperate remnants of the falmer sought refuge from the dwemer who if they werent so desperate to hide from the forces of ysgramor they would know the dwemer do not trust outsides. and so as the price of there refuge they where forced to consume a toxic and addictive mushroom that blinded them and even there children for all eternity. this resulted in war and eventually when the dwemer dissapeared that war stopped and now one can notice falmer souls can be captured by regular soul gems because they possess white souls because they lost there divine spark and became no better than the chaurus they herd. ysgramor didnt just kill the bodies of the falmer he killed there very souls everything the falmer where and that is a crime i cannot forgive.

Dagoth Ur, in a way his life was quite a tragedy. I think he just lost it to the power and magic of the heart.

Has to be Lucien Lachance. He was so cool, and it was very sad when he met his fate in Oblivion. :(

Nerevar Indoril, and the Tribunal. My fav from the Tribunal has to be Sotha Sil... This technology is... Astounding. That and there is much mystery shrouded around him.

Not really. The Snow Elves got what was coming to them. They attacked the Nords over discovering the Eye of Magnus, while the Nords were still willing to coexist peacefully. They didn't just attack the Nords and Saarthal, they slaughtered all but Ysgramor and his two sons. The three escaped, returning to Atmora. Years later they came back to Skyrim with the 500 Companions and waged a war against the Snow Elves, eventually driving them underground. And BTW, even after what the Snow Elves did, the Nords still honored them. They built the statue of their leader in Irkngthand, after all.

Him? I don’t know what was more satisfying for me, killing that stupid imperial captain that tried to cut off my head or killing Vivec.

You do know that the Snow Elves wanted to kill off all the Nords right? When someone tries to exterminate you when you are weak you are kind of justified to return the favor when you are strong, but Nords didn’t. They just had them exiled from the surface. Dwemer did the rest.

edit:
While we know little about the Snow Elves it is fair to say that they weren’t very popular. No one came to their defense when they were being slaughtered and probably sacrificed to the Alduin. They were unable to flee Skyrim elsewhere for some reason. When Morrowind went boom you found Dunmer in Skyrim so why didn’t the same happen with Snow Elves unless everybody hated them. Hated them more than an average Nord hates Dunmer…

What the Dwemer did to them also seems really out of character for the Dwemer so it just goes to show that maybe Falmer really did deserve their fate.
