Draugr Electing Nord Child

[MyFaceBurns]

This is a pretty tiny thing, more of something funny that I noticed rather than issue, but here's a draugr - a mindless corpse, follower of the Dragon Cult - supporting my 2 year-old Nord son as the next ruler of our duchy. I get the impression that a draugr should not be doing this.

Another draugr-related oddity; the 371 year-old ruler of the Frozen Horde is adept at fighting in a jungle terrain, apparently. This is an ancient corpse living in a frozen wasteland.

You pick up a lot of strange tricks in such a lifetime.

I've seen a surprising number of Nords with Desert and Jungle combat traits. I guess their preparing to get back at all the Dragonblooded Khajit in the South (all three Dragonborn thus far in my game have been unlanded Khajit whose descendants have gotten into positions of power. That's... odd.

In my current game only one dragonborn out of 5 or so hasnt been khajit

First dragonborn was an Argonian Fighter's Guild leader for me.

Word doesn't spread fast in the northern wastes. He obviously hasn't heard that Cyrodiil was retconned from being a jungle to being grassland and lush forests.

It wasn't retconned Talos did magic stuff to make it that way
(or at least that's what I got from the lore)

That's just the explanation for the retcon, actually.

Admittedly there would be next to no plains and farmlands and a very large amount of jungle on the map if Cyrodiil was still jungled. I think a large part of High Rock and Skyrim is just hills and mountains, and most of the other provinces are things like desert, jungle, and marsh.

 

[Illanair]

Probably a lot of plantations and crop fields - Gotta feed the populace after all. It would get a very carib colonial feel.

 

[AdamantineFist]

That actually sounds really cool. I'd kinda like to see what Cyrodiil would look like if it was all tropical.

My first dragonborn was a female altmer that lived for 150 years. As the wife of an unknown county in the middle of Alinor
