I used to dig Elderscroll History, then I took an arrow in the knee? :wallbash: Alrighty... serious business now. Let us draw the parallels to our medieval world... The Imperial is based closely to the Roman Empire. Style of clothings, military grabs, buildings, terminology (Legate, Legion, Legionnaire). Even the names resemble Roman. They worship Talos, who is the first Emperor. Roman worship their first Emperor Julius Caesar (Posthumous) as a godlike figure. (Liken that of Jupiter, who is the equavalent of Zeus) Nords are vikings. Period. (Everything about them is Norse) Redguards are based loosely on Corsairs that plagued Mediterranean Sea's southern coasts (Algier, Trebizond, Morroco). Bretons should be the Brits, Normans, even Gauls. They belong to the same stock. Argonians are perhaps closed loosely on Mayan or Egyptian? They are beastmen and rather primitive. Their primitive culture could draw a parallel with the Mayans and Egyptians. Khajits would be the Nomadic People of the African Plains and Savannas. I believe I do not need to go into details on the resemblances? Next... we have the mer or elves. The Altmer could be the Atlanteans? They are the fabled people of Lost Atlantis which was described in some records as a breed of highly-intelligent, sophisticated race who has a highly-developed culture before they are lost to us? lol The Dunmer are the Turks. Dark-skinned, tenacious, warlike and extremely adept in combat. On Vvanderfell in the wastelands and deserts, there are many nomdic tribes, and many Turks are nomads until the formation of the Ottoman Empire? Now... the Bosmer... this race I can't seems to find a parallel to it in our real world... (Robin Hood and his Merry Men? English?) Someone help? :rolleyes:
