AtlasS Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Dwemer all vanished at the same moment in time. One minute they are here and the next minute poof they're all gone. Stargate experiment gone haywire. I always thought that the Dwemer, being a race who's culture is based on both science and metascience, vanished without reason, and is very star-oriented as being a reflection of the ancient MayansWhereas the Ayleid, another lost culture, far more stone dependant and spiritual, remind me of the Aztecs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McShave Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 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) Sorry, but there's no way I can ignore that statement. Julius Caesar wasn't an emperor, the first emperor was his adopted son Augustus. O.k I got that off my chest......continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanusForbeare Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think of the elves as the Asian peoples. They somewhat reflect Asian cultures like the nomadic Mongolians, the sophisticated Japanese or the philosophical Chinese. Their appearance and style also has an Asian feel. I see the parallels you're drawing here, but the culture with the most Asiatic influences in TES lore has always been Akavir. It is a vast continent in the distant east, divided into four militarily and technologically sophisticated nations (relative to their Tamrielic counterparts, that is). The oriental influence is visible in the nomenclature of these countries, which have been given names such as Tang Mo and Ka Po'Tun. Further evidence can be found in their style of armour and weaponry, the tradition of which is still carried on by the Blades. Thus, it is not unusual to find members of the blades sporting lamellar armour and wielding katanas (in fact, back in the Daggerfall era, you could even find dai-katanas, which would be pretty badass if they were still around today. I smell another mod.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedeslav Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 From my point of view Imperia is pure Yugoslavia! Skyrim representing one of the rebeled republics. Yugoslavia was quite like this Imperia. In the state of decomposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobo Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sorry, but there's no way I can ignore that statement. Julius Caesar wasn't an emperor, the first emperor was his adopted son Augustus.O.k I got that off my chest......continueTechnically still wrong, Augustus was 'princeps' - the term emperor was not use until well into the third century AD. ad please dont tell me wikipaedia is right - I had an historian tell me off for writing that in my research paper.and i still think the Ayleid/Imperials are the Etruscans/Roman "Yugoslavia"Interesting, do go into more detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eltucu Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) 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.Egyptian? Primitive? Do you see argonians building massive structures like Mayans or Egyptians? Hell, do you see argonians dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of mathematics, geometry and stars? I find this very badly thought. I mean, just think bout it. You're speaking very badly of two very big civilizations right there by calling them "primitive". Edited January 7, 2012 by eltucu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
