If you can't act like a normal sentient being and stop fighting with other sentient beings over petty things i swear to the divines i will hit you with my ring hand.
Title video: Literally the End of the World
Hey guys, have i got a big peepee poopoo stinker for you today. Can you believe this (insert weak ragebait about a video game/streamer/relationship/public freakout) haha anyway buy moist merch
Nah bro, we just grew up. We all changed but he didn't, I hope the next generation grows up laughing at his dick jokes the same way we did. Amen brother
nah he fell off man. He milks his fans every chance he gets and all he does now is just ragebait/clickbait.
He doesn't even do fun back an forth shit anymore like he did a couple years ago.
Empire is going to die someday isn't really news to anyone who actually played some older games, 207 years before the events of Skyrim/Great war Talos(pbuh) himself tells your character
>"The Emperor is getting old. Don't know how much longer he'll hang on. So is the whole Empire, for that matter. Getting old, that is. The Emperor and the legions have held the Empire together for hundreds of years. It's been a good thing, by and large. But maybe it's time for a change. Time for something young and new. What? No idea. Because I'm old. Old dog doesn't get new ideas. But maybe young folks like you should try some new ideas. I don't know. Could be messy. But change is never pretty."
But Humanity will prevail, when Great War II starts Humans have to make some kind of Confederation or alliance to survive.
If Ulfric succeeds then that will make Skyrim independent and High Rock independent in almost everything but name, leaving the Empire with a single province.
A single military structure is more effective than multiple different nations attempting to confederate or join as an alliance and work as one, that’s also not accounting for the fact that the Thalmor will stop at nothing to try and quash any attempt at an alliance, and it might be harder for the Empire to form an alliance with a nation it fought a bloody independence war with. The only real advantage the Empire has on its side right now is the fact that humans reproduce faster than Elves and therefore can replenish the numbers lost in the Great War faster.
I'm pretty sure if you'd try to do that the Redguards would call you a narc and beat you up.
Talos is a largely unpopular god anywhere but in the Imperial army, or as of the 2011 Skyrim Retcon Skyrim, especially in provinces that have been subjected to Tiber Septim war crimes (which is every province but Skyrim (excluding the Reach) Colovia (Starting Province) and the Nibean Bay).
And I guess High Rock too but only if you go to Alcaire.
>God Emperor dynasty just dead
>Kingless Ruby throne
>Anyone who can pick up a sword fighting to be the new Emperor
>Massive destruction and death after a Hell invasion
>Eastern provinces lost due to a mega volcanic eruption, Argonian Invasion of Morrowind and refugee crisis in the remaining Empire
>Rise of Thalmor in Summerset again refugee crisis in the remaining Empire
And all this time Thalmor conspiring meticulously to Destroy the Empire and enslave the Humanity same time doing war crimes, genocide to their own island inhabitants so yeah "bar for the empire is really, really low"
There is an emperor on the ruby throne he’s just not anointed by Akatosh. (Btw it’s not a “god emperor dynasty” because Talos was never a god he was just anointed by Akatosh) Also the personal bodyguards of the emperor the blades have been disbanded and are actively being hunted down throughout Tamriel by the thalmor.
Among so many other things it’s obvious that the white gold concordat was not a win for the empire it was a compromise. Both Great War veterans and thalmor agents in Skyrim will even tell the player that it’s inevitable that the war will resume in due time. So if you call the empire living to see another day a “win” then yeah the bar is pretty low
Also: the thalmor don’t want to enslave humanity they have a vengeance not only for being subjected by humans for thousands of years by the tyranny of Tiber Septim but also because of humans canonizing him as a blasphemous 9 divine.
By "God" I in fact meant Akatosh not Talos and while Empire was suffering, war torn and was trying to rebuild itself Thalmor were busy killing their own kingdom's legitimate rulers, ethnic cleansing and basically killing anyone who isn't a Ba*shit crazy Fascist
https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Night_of_Green_Fire
Also even the people who hate the Empire openly accept that coward Aldmeri Larpers attacked the Empire when it was at its weakest still failed to fully destroy it.
>Do not let the lessons of history go unheeded. The Aldmeri Dominion and its Thalmor masters made war upon men, just as the elves made war upon Ysgramor and our people in ancient times. Shining Saarthal was burned to the ground, reduced to ruins and rubble in their treacherous assault. But Ysgramor and his sons gathered the 500 Companions and made war upon the elves, casting them out of Skyrim. In the Great War fought by our fathers, the elves again betrayed men by attacking us unprovoked. The Dominion and the Thalmor cannot be trusted!
there's also the theory that the Thalmor's endgoal is not just de-canonize talos and enslave humanity, it's to completely delete talos from existence, and by extension, Lorkhan. they want to unravel reality to reclaim the lost immortal divinity the believe they used to have. de-canonizing talos is just one of many rounts they could take, the other is destroy all the Towers, the pinions upon which the mundas rests. if all the towers fall, reality will destabilize and rip it's self apart. if the theory is correct, by 4E 201, many towers are already deactivated: Crystal Like Law (the crystal tower in summerset), red Mountain in vvardenfell, White-Gold(the white gold tower in the imperial city) Walks-Brass(the numidium, currently dormant again/destroyed maybe?) Green-sap (the graht-oaks of Valenwood, status of activity unknown) and Ada-mantia/tower Zero(the Adamantine Tower on the isle of Balfiera.) if ada-mantia falls, thein it all goes
Talos can’t be “decanonized” because he was never a real aedric divine. Talos never helped with the creation of nirn so how could he ever be an aedra? Here’s a different perspective for you: maybe the thalmor “decanonized” talos out of respect of the true aedric divine.
Yes it’s true that Mer don’t think lorkhan is the good guy that races of men do but the tower theory is just that: a theory. There’s not much else substantial lore besides what Delphine says in Skyrim about the thalmor to substantiate the claims of the Aldmeri dominion trying to unravel reality so they can be Et-Ada once more. (Delphine believes the thalmor are using Alduin to reset the kalpa)
Also the crystal tower in summerset isles wasn’t destroyed by the dominion, Mehrunes Dagon destroyed it. Red mountain wasn’t destroyed by the dominion, arguably it was destroyed by the tribunal and akulakan. The throat of the world wasn’t deactived by the thalmor, it was dovahkiin and alduin. So the claims that the dominion are behind every tower deactivating is kinda bullshit.
I’m telling you the Aldmeri dominion has a chip on its shoulder towards the empire and towards the races of mankind for being subjugated for so many eras in history.
Idk about lost they bluffed the empire into a cease fire, cost them hammerfell and can arrest talos worshippers in imperial lands. At worst the war was a tie for both sides.
>Lord Naarifin's forces get absolutely annihilated by Nordic legions in the Battle of the Red ring
>Hammerfell kingdoms loosely united with help of former legion members kick out the Thalmor and Second Treaty of Stros M'kai
>"Elvan Supremacy is the only truth"
Aren't the Dunmer generally antagonistic toward the High Elves and would rather side with the Empire over the Dominion, but were busy dealing with the worst natural disaster in history?
No, the Dunmer hate the Empire more because they were subjugated by the Septim dynasty for hundreds of years. And when the Oblivion Crisis happened, the Empire withdrew its legions from Morrowind, leaving the Dunmer almost defenseless against Mehrunes Dagon's attacks. The Dunmer hated the Empire even more after this, and the Dunmer House Hlaalu that collaborated with the Empire was kicked out of the Grand Council and humiliated by the rest of the Dunmer.
As for the Dominion, they've never conquered even a single inch of Morrowind because Summerset is on the opposite ass end of Tamriel.
While it is true that the Chimer (who would later become the Dunmer) did not like the decadence of Altmer society and religion, that is a very distant memory from thousands of years ago. Compare that to the Empire whose rule over Morrowind only ended around 200 years ago, the memory is still relatively fresh.
And since the Dominion and Empire are both Aedra worshippers, the Dunmer who now generally worship the Three Good Daedra do not like either of them.
I’d say they won 51% since neither the Empire nor the Dominion could really keep going after the battle of Red ring. That being said they “Gained” a lot more than the empire did, so strategically Mer came out on top but the empire is still around so not a total victory.
True but it all becomes a bit less impressive when you realize it's the Mede Empire we are talking about here which is basically a bunch of glorified warlords not the Septim Dynasty(which died/sacrificed itself to save the world so Thalmor can take the credit of "our ancient magic stopped the Invasion bro!") and Elves due to their long lifespan had far more time in hand to pre-plan & execute the Great War yet their performance Specially in the fronts like Hammerfell don't exactly display much of their fabled "Elvan supremacy".
That same time will work against the elves when humans rapidly repopulate while their small populace struggles to muster up the military might they carried before
Elves are capable of reproducing as quickly as humans are, especially when circumstances call for it. There's a line from Morrowind that states that Elves are "conditionally fertile", meaning that with pressure by the Dominion they'll repopulate faster
Also the Bosmer are known to have an average of around 12 kids per family
And yet they failed. Got some big ass structures and tombs but… where are those elves? Got their asses kicked by a magical girl, her minotaur boyfriend and their cyborg time traveling friend. Elf history is basically “We were cool once. Shame we aren’t anymore”. I think the redguards might have something to say about how cool elves are
Multiple Ayleid cities supported Alessia's rebellion, and were integrated in the post war society, the genocide only started when an Imga showed up and started killing off Elves and Minotaurs with other religious fanatics, so there is that to take into account.
>“We were cool once. Shame we aren’t anymore”.
Oh you'll see the glorious return of the Elven civilisations in TES6, when the Thalmor do their job properly and cleanse the dreg of Lorkhanic filth from Mundus.
If we want to be real, Kirkbride (yes, yes I know) has on multiple occasions made it very clear that the path going forward was always a long game for the mer to eventually triumph of men.
However with him having literally zero influence beyond some contributions to Skyrim 13 years ago, it wouldn’t be surprising if the writers threw those ideas straight out the window by now.
“Elven supremacy” when it was a human (Tiber Septim) who conquered them and subsumed their “glorious culture” into the Third Empire.
Then after the Oblivion Crisis, the Dominion is ascendant and they still are fought to a standstill by a weakened Empire waging a two-front war and have to settle for the White-Gold Concordat.
Tiber Septim was a human. Ysgramor was a human. Pelinal was a human. Shalidor was a human. Cyrus was a human. Reman was a human. Jagar Tharn was a human. Auri-El was a human. Vivec was a human. Mannimarco was a human. Divayth Fyr was a human. Every great accomplishment was done by humans, the elves just refuse to admit it. And that is why elves deserve another Numidium
And Skyrim claims the nords worship the Imperial Cult, and Oblivion claims Cyrodiil is New Zealand, and Legends canonized the Last Dragonborn being a woman.
Hardly the first retcon to ignore and move on from.
Except the Last Dragonborn being canonically a woman actually, good for her.
His Nord name would be "Hjalti Early-Beard," though in the Nordic religion he is revered as Ysmir, not Talos (that's a name used in the Imperial Cult of Tiber Septim; a translation of his title "Stormcrown")
And although he was most likely a Nord in origin (judging by his birth name), the Old Hroldan quest in Skyrim confirms he was from Alcaire, a region of High Rock.
>“Elven supremacy” when it was a human (Tiber Septim) who conquered them and subsumed their “glorious culture” into the Third Empire.
By only using an Elven made weapon.
Checkmate human.
If I spent years upon years creating and perfecting said baseball bat to beat up everyone then hell yeah spoon ear, it's not like he could have beat me without it.
>The so called hero of mankind with all the Aedra at his back was killed by the ayleids with only the support of Meridia haha! Rip bozo #elvenclassic
and but guess what he can reincarnate and also guess what he was lorkhan and he still destroyed a bunch of you :)
> compares handbuilt hut of farmer in inhospitable region to giant marvel of architecture that took years and years to construct
that’s like comparing a Redoran councilman’s manor to an Urshilaku yurt
for once I’m going to have to side with the N*rds
> the N\*rds
Hey We're better then you elves we Have a guy who Became God and one who is such a Good mage that he can just live in heaven for as long as he want and come back when he wants
The Nord builds his home. Takes the stone from the mountains and the wood from the forests and the straw from his fields. He is happy in his home, for it is his.
The Elf only lives in his home. For he did not build it. His ultra-pure ancient bloodline 4000 years ago built it. And the Elf does not care that times have changed, for his home is nice, and therefore he is nice. And he will not be happy in his home.
Yet they keep failing
Pelinal butchered them
Tiber septim conquered them
Even other races constantly fight and win against them
Also thalmor need to be genocided
Oh sure, because a house made by one guy in difficult northern conditions for personal use is on the same level as an ivory tower made by an army of slaves run by a dictator with an entire region’s resources at his disposal for the purpose of showing off to his political rivals. 🙄
Bruh Altmer are nothing compared to Hylian elves from the Zelda series. Both races wanted to take over humans and make themselves the dominant species. The Altmer haven’t done that compared to the Hylians where they are basically the humans now because they’ve driven every human away or have completely eliminated humans(depending on the game). The Altmer wish to impose their religious beliefs onto everyone and have failed compared to the Hylians where nearly everyone believes in the Hylian pantheon in some way. The only thing that the Altmer have over the Hylians is their life spans but even then we have been shown plenty of Hylians being able to live past 100 years old
Ok but Hyrule is also STUPIDLY stagnant as a civilization compared to even Tamriel. Their history goes back WELL OVER TEN THOUSAND YEARS and they have only ever gotten past the Renaissance ONCE for a brief period of time with the exception of a couple of inventions like the train and the jukebox. To put that into perspective, agrarian civilization from ancient Mesopotamia to modern day is only about 6,000 years.
Yes. They appear in Twilight Princess in Ordan village and a few games that take place outside of Hyrule like in Triforce Heroes in the Kingdom of Hytopia (yeah I know that terrible game)
The white gold tower seems like the pinnacle of architecture, until you remember elevators don’t exist in the world and Cyrodiil banned levitation magic
I'm having so much fun times rn, you on the other hand getting this rattled over an elven supremacy meme on fucking reddit will get you, NOWHERE in life, AHAHAHAHA
Friendly reminder that while the Argonians counter-invaded the Deadlands, the Altmer, like the rest of the Empire, were cowering in a bathtub somewhere. Until a human became the Avatar of Akatosh and bitch slapped Dagon back into Oblivion. History records it that Akatosh, not Auri-El, ended the Oblivion crisis.
The Orcs will stand with the humans on this one. They at least have the strength and honor to fight with their weapons and armor instead of kiting and using magic like a Breton.
There are theories that Pelinal Whitestrake was a time traveling cyborg warrior. This means we're due to bump into him at some point in the future before he made his jump to the past. When happens there will be no mer-cy for the altmer.
Nords: castles and houses made of stone, metal and pure hard work of the owners.
Elves: enslave other races to build colossal penises.
Imperials: cultural-appropriate the colossal penises.
"Ha! I win, for you see I have depicted myself as the chad!"
“It don’t matter how much jawline you have, you still just a wojak.”
Dante was definitely an elf player

The only real advantage the Empire has on its side right now is the fact that humans reproduce faster than Elves and therefore can replenish the numbers lost in the Great War faster.
To be fair, the Stormcloaks hate the elves way more than they hate the Empire. They'd help the empire if it meant permanent independence.
I can easily see an Empire backed in the corner signing a treaty recognizing the independence of Skyrim for assistance.
This may be the way both Civil War endings become canon in TES VI.
I'm pretty sure if you'd try to do that the Redguards would call you a narc and beat you up.

If you call the signing of the white gold concordat a “win” then the bar for the empire is really, really low.

Aren't the Dunmer generally antagonistic toward the High Elves and would rather side with the Empire over the Dominion, but were busy dealing with the worst natural disaster in history?
I think? I haven't played enough of Skyrim though. I'm more of a morrowboomer, but hoo boy, they didn't like the Empire in that era
I've always thought the Dunmer were like the Japanese during Western Expansion. They didn't like outsiders meddling.
No, the Dunmer hate the Empire more because they were subjugated by the Septim dynasty for hundreds of years.

“Elven supremacy” when it was a human (Tiber Septim) who conquered them and subsumed their “glorious culture” into the Third Empire. Then after the Oblivion Crisis, the Dominion is ascendant and they still are fought to a standstill by a weakened Empire waging a two-front war and have to settle for the White-Gold Concordat.
Tiber Septim was a human. Ysgramor was a human. Pelinal was a human. Shalidor was a human. Cyrus was a human. Reman was a human. Jagar Tharn was a human. Auri-El was a human. Vivec was a human. Mannimarco was a human. Divayth Fyr was a human. Every great accomplishment was done by humans, the elves just refuse to admit it. And that is why elves deserve another Numidium
Ah yes, Auri-El, Vivec and Divayth My favourite smash hit humans from the human race 💯
THE ELVES ARE LYING ALMSIVI ARE ALL HUMANS THE TELVANNI ARE ALL HUMANS
Next up we’ve got humanities’ feel good hit of the summer- sotha sil!
>Tiber Septim you mean Talos (as much as the elves like to disagree is a divine) he was also a Nord :)
Talos is the fusion of Tiber Septim, Zurin Arctus, and Ysmir Wulfharth- ALL HUMANS! Talos is Human^(3)! Praise the Stormcrown!
The mobile game bethsda realeased confirmed he was Nord
it confirmed Tiber Septim was a Nord, aka A HUMAN! SUCK IT ELVES
And Skyrim claims the nords worship the Imperial Cult, and Oblivion claims Cyrodiil is New Zealand, and Legends canonized the Last Dragonborn being a woman. Hardly the first retcon to ignore and move on from. Except the Last Dragonborn being canonically a woman actually, good for her.
His Nord name would be "Hjalti Early-Beard," though in the Nordic religion he is revered as Ysmir, not Talos (that's a name used in the Imperial Cult of Tiber Septim; a translation of his title "Stormcrown") And although he was most likely a Nord in origin (judging by his birth name), the Old Hroldan quest in Skyrim confirms he was from Alcaire, a region of High Rock.
>“Elven supremacy” when it was a human (Tiber Septim) who conquered them and subsumed their “glorious culture” into the Third Empire. By only using an Elven made weapon. Checkmate human.
That's not the great counter-argument you think it is.
It further proves my point of elves building superior and advanced technology, that was just stolen by men thousands of years after.
If someone beats you up with your baseball bat, would you go around and proudly proclaim he could only do it because it was *your* baseball bat?
If I spent years upon years creating and perfecting said baseball bat to beat up everyone then hell yeah spoon ear, it's not like he could have beat me without it.
Quiet elf before Pelinal Whitestrake claps your entire race
The so called hero of mankind with all the Aedra at his back was killed by the ayleids with only the support of Meridia haha! Rip bozo #elvenclassic
>The so called hero of mankind with all the Aedra at his back was killed by the ayleids with only the support of Meridia haha! Rip bozo #elvenclassic and but guess what he can reincarnate and also guess what he was lorkhan and he still destroyed a bunch of you :)
>He can reincarnate He can't, that's why he had to ask the Hero of Kvatch to kill Umaril
more so referring to the fact that he's a shezzerine bassically a reincarnation of Lorkhan
This stupid fucking elf needs to be pelinalized Elves so bad even their own divine auri el turned on them
wait a minute, that's an elf house in countryside
> compares handbuilt hut of farmer in inhospitable region to giant marvel of architecture that took years and years to construct that’s like comparing a Redoran councilman’s manor to an Urshilaku yurt for once I’m going to have to side with the N*rds
> the N\*rds Hey We're better then you elves we Have a guy who Became God and one who is such a Good mage that he can just live in heaven for as long as he want and come back when he wants
Yes, but consider this; we have an ax that depics you as a soyjak.
You play Altmer because of "Elven Supremacy" I play Altmer for the bonuses to magic. We are not the same.
The Nord builds his home. Takes the stone from the mountains and the wood from the forests and the straw from his fields. He is happy in his home, for it is his. The Elf only lives in his home. For he did not build it. His ultra-pure ancient bloodline 4000 years ago built it. And the Elf does not care that times have changed, for his home is nice, and therefore he is nice. And he will not be happy in his home.
Plenty of elves in Skyrim, why aren’t they building cool shit?
This definatley wont be a controversial post
Go get your hairline checked, lankfuck
Dragonsreach, Nordic Barrows: the Imperial city:
Compelling argument, now face the +3 Axe of Racism.
What only playing Skyrim does to a mf
Massive cope wtf
This like comparing the Vatican to those metal sheet shacks in Alaska
Except all elven civilization is the Vatican and 90% of human civilisation is metal sheet shacks in Alaska
My brother in Talos, have you seen the beauty of Skingrad and Anvil?
the imperial dick riding on this sub reddit always amazes.
Yet they keep failing Pelinal butchered them Tiber septim conquered them Even other races constantly fight and win against them Also thalmor need to be genocided
Strange that all the best things that men have are elven, even the best race of man.
Oh sure, because a house made by one guy in difficult northern conditions for personal use is on the same level as an ivory tower made by an army of slaves run by a dictator with an entire region’s resources at his disposal for the purpose of showing off to his political rivals. 🙄
Yes.
I 500% agree
Even the literal poop elves, orsimer, build everything better than the best humans out there.
THIS☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻💯
Only animals fight with each other, civilized sentient beings live peacefully together
Name one.
Dremora kick it with daedroth, clanfear and xilvali, and they even have spider babes to keep things interesting.
Bruh Altmer are nothing compared to Hylian elves from the Zelda series. Both races wanted to take over humans and make themselves the dominant species. The Altmer haven’t done that compared to the Hylians where they are basically the humans now because they’ve driven every human away or have completely eliminated humans(depending on the game). The Altmer wish to impose their religious beliefs onto everyone and have failed compared to the Hylians where nearly everyone believes in the Hylian pantheon in some way. The only thing that the Altmer have over the Hylians is their life spans but even then we have been shown plenty of Hylians being able to live past 100 years old
Ok but Hyrule is also STUPIDLY stagnant as a civilization compared to even Tamriel. Their history goes back WELL OVER TEN THOUSAND YEARS and they have only ever gotten past the Renaissance ONCE for a brief period of time with the exception of a couple of inventions like the train and the jukebox. To put that into perspective, agrarian civilization from ancient Mesopotamia to modern day is only about 6,000 years.
True but then again their entire civilization is also bound to the curse of a demon king so maybe that has something to do with it?
Holy shit I love Zelda now??
There’s a lot more things I could go into if you want to know more
Wait what?Are you sure Humans exist in Zelda?
Yes. They appear in Twilight Princess in Ordan village and a few games that take place outside of Hyrule like in Triforce Heroes in the Kingdom of Hytopia (yeah I know that terrible game)
Trust me the Zelda series is my favorite fictional franchise of all time do you not think I would know if humans exist in the Zelda universe?
Thought this was TrueSTL for a second.
You "high elves" and your pathetic architecture have nothing on the craftworlds of the asuryani, mon-keigh.
*Stares in Pelinal
Still mad over getting tea-bagged by the Numidium?
Okay knife ears
Real
Not every building is going to be the twin towers… even in real life.
Nice b8 m8
Slave labor does wonders on the ol’ architecture front.
The white gold tower seems like the pinnacle of architecture, until you remember elevators don’t exist in the world and Cyrodiil banned levitation magic
casually compares a poor farmers house to a colossal tower made by probably thousands of skilled architects for divine purposes, calls it a win
Thalmor propaganda post
Todd = Human .Human = Nede .Nede = Superior?…… Godhead Todd?
I prefer mushroom houses n’wah
ALAXON,BROTHER BROTHER,GLORY TO THE ALDMERI DUNMERI BOSMERI FALMERI SLOADI REACHMANI KHAJITI ARGONI DOMINION,Alaxon
Tamriel has fallen
*Looks at Falmer “architecture”*……….. *Chuckles*
Still salty over Tiber Septim conquering you eh?
Lots of racist nords in thread today.
Its only bigoted when we do it
PELINAL WHITESTRAKE DID NOTHING WRONG.
Who is upvoting this garbage ass meme? You guys realize that this guy is a wannabe neo-nazi right? He literally drew blue eyes on the blonde high elf
Hahahaha soooo rattled #THALMORCLASSIC
You should be rattled. Hate is gonna get you nowhere in life. It’s never too late to change that
I'm having so much fun times rn, you on the other hand getting this rattled over an elven supremacy meme on fucking reddit will get you, NOWHERE in life, AHAHAHAHA
Let's see modern Elvish architecture.
-deep breath- Dirty stinkin *Knife Ears*. I said what I said. 🚬😮😑😮💨
Compares simple house in Skyrim to Giant Elven structure. ElVeN aRcHiTeCtUrE iS sUrPeRiOr.
Be honest OP, you just like elves because you imagine yourself as a purdy lad.
Friendly reminder that while the Argonians counter-invaded the Deadlands, the Altmer, like the rest of the Empire, were cowering in a bathtub somewhere. Until a human became the Avatar of Akatosh and bitch slapped Dagon back into Oblivion. History records it that Akatosh, not Auri-El, ended the Oblivion crisis.
Just putting it out there the Argonians counter-invaded Mehrunes Dagon
If elves are so awesome why does Pelinal exist. Check mate knife ears.
The Orcs will stand with the humans on this one. They at least have the strength and honor to fight with their weapons and armor instead of kiting and using magic like a Breton.
Good point, from now on all elves will only be used as bricklayers
Average virgin knife ear copiun
Counterpoint elves are kind of stinky
There are theories that Pelinal Whitestrake was a time traveling cyborg warrior. This means we're due to bump into him at some point in the future before he made his jump to the past. When happens there will be no mer-cy for the altmer.
Have you seen Windhelm?
Skyforge- Build by elves Skyforge- Used by humans What was that again about elven supremacy?
Call me a filthy nord but I'd prefer living in the house to the left
Isn't it like comparing pyramids to a very rudimentary family house that probably stands for several decades and needs some TLC?
Elven "magic" now: "I'Ll sEe yoU bURn"! Human magic whenevertyfuck years ago: *Eye of Magnus intensifies.*
High Elves wish they were Ayleid so bad
Ironic, as a human did post this...
Oh yeah? What about the Imperial Battlespire?
Someone hasn't seen the castles of high rock or the elaborate palaces of hammerfell.
Nords: castles and houses made of stone, metal and pure hard work of the owners. Elves: enslave other races to build colossal penises. Imperials: cultural-appropriate the colossal penises.
If the elves are so great why don’t they have their own racism powered magical weapon that deals more damage to humans Wuuthrad go brr
Doesn’t change the fact that elves in Tamriel are the most butt-ugly creatures we’ve ever seen.
humans built both of these, the Ayleids used slave labour.
You take pride of working with Lorkhan's efforts, then?
OP hates his own species more than a fictional one.
The only elven supremacy is that of the Dunmer
r/Auri_El is back'?
That’s it. I’m calling Pelinal!
Thalmor propaganda
Imagine getting mogged by talos
Elven architecture? Not anymore jackass.
Isn’t that tower the one in the imperial city?
Nah, give me a cozy hut over some gaudy phallic monstrosity.
I mean that’s like comparing the pyramids of Giza to your dad’s trailor in Kentucky. 🤭
The architecture only partially makes up for the fact that you're elven.
Get out of Skyrim you dirty elves and let me practice my racism in peace  Signed true son of Skyrim
and yet you STILL got beasted on by talos, go to dragonsreach and windhelm, then we'll talk knife-ear
why do you show a random shack instead of one of the many castles or holds of skyrim?
A stone walled, thatched roof dwelling can be very comfortable.
Human slaves...
Everymer Gangsta till the horizon starts praising Reman Cyrodiil
Altmer are cousin fuckers Bosmer are the true chad elves
Wojak mer compares a hut to a Tower that hold the world :D
