domanz Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I love howl's moving castle, but I agree that it doesn't fit into the world. The biggest problem for requests like that is to find a similar minded modder who agrees to put energy into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermoor Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) If I remember right, in Norse Mythology, Dwarf is actually Black Elf and some scholars guess they are Dark Elf too.What? The difference between tomte and dwarf in scandinavian mythology is very small. Englishmen call them dwarves we call them tomtar or nissar. This is a real norse dwarf...Norse Dwarf Edited November 24, 2011 by Hermoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitertrassh Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) instead of moving why not just implemwnt the magical doors so doors from several locations lead to the same house(howl's castle) an you can leave the house to any of the locations. btw i'm surprized no ones mentioned this aspect as ppl have said thay've saw it.

This is a real norse dwarf...Norse Dwarf Nisse is Gnome, right? Come to think Elf, Dwarf, Gnome have many version throught the time. Like Elven who help Santa Claus is more like Gnome or Dwarf, and in Germanic Myth, Elf like fairy with tiny size, or in other myth, Dwarf is as same as Troll =)).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svart%C3%A1lfar That why Dwarf in The Elder Scroll is concept as a branch of Elf who live in huge underground city, With the other elves size. In Norse Myth, Dwarven refer smithing and technology than magic, but they still have extreme powerful spell even can harm gods.

Terralventhe Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Ya know, when I said there were dark elves in Norse mythology, I didn't mean Svartálfar. I meant Dökkálfar (literally Dark Elves). The general consensus, at least amidst Icelanders when treating the lore, is that Svartálfar refers to dwarves, and Dökkálfar refers to dark elves, as the two even live in two seperate worlds. But Panzer is correct, at least, in the context that dwarves were more elven than the atypical short-and-stocky dwarven archetype.

DavyJones777 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Whether Norse legends hold elves or not isn't the issue. The Nords are not from Norway, they're from Skyrim, a province of Tamriel, which sits on the celestial body (planet) of Nirn, some ways west of a continent that hosts an ongoing war between bestial races of snake-people and brutish tiger people, who are headed up by an obscenely powerful Tiger Dragon, the first among them to have somehow reached the status and power of a dragon. If you continue attempting to ground Skyrim firmly in reality, I'm afraid you've missed the point entirely that Norse mythology hardly holds a place in Tamriel, and you're not really in a good position to decide what is or is not in the best interests of the game's lore or canon.

Iroh420 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Journeyman your'e acting like skyrim has to be nordic. its NOT! most of it is, yes, but a lot is just fun stuff from other kinds of lore, like giant castles and fireballs (those exist in skyrim dude! this castle is not far fetched lore-wise because lots of crazy things happen in skyrim not just exact nordic history. people sometimes just astound me. get your act together.

TaeRai Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Alright, I am taking on this project. I haven't seen the movie but my girlfriend is a big fan so she'll be able to help me out and make me watch the movie, lol. FYI, I don't care if it's unlore-friendly because I WILL make it lore-friendly.I have no idea when it'll be done or not but I promise you all this - It WILL be done. Getting started now!
