Oldest person in the Elder Scrolls universe

[forskyrimmods]

I always wondered who was the oldest person was. Was it that Snow Elf king or Harkon?

[Lachdonin]

Oldest known individual was Yagrum Bagarn, who was over 4000 years as of Morrowind. We know this, because he was alive during the War of the First Council.

 

We don't have any concrete dates for anything else, so can't really judge.

Well... -that depends on what parameters you set on "person". Do they have to be mortal? Humanoid? Exist on Nirn? Etc. etc.

 

Hmmm... Ah, I know just the spell for this question (assuming it works...)

 

Lachdonin! I summon thee!

Wow, the spell worked before I uttered it! :laugh:

Ohhh thanks , Didn't realise there were a Dwemer still alive. Havent played Morrowind yet waiting for Skywind :P Would have thought Harkon was the oldest.

In the Realm of Chaos, time and space have no meaning. Sometimes I mix up the address when responding to prayers.

Harkin may be older, but we don't have any dates to base it off of. His dates could range from the late Alessian period, to as early as the late Merithic. Without more to go on its impossible to place him.

 

Miraak would be older, were it not for the fact he's spent 5000 years in another plane outside the normal laws of time.

Maybe http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Lamae_Bal Wouldn't this person be older than Harkon as she was the first vampire?

[Lachdonin]

She's the origin of one kind of Vampire. Harkon, Valerica and Serana seem to have gotten their Vampirjsm straight from Molag Bal indicating they aren't related to Lamae, and there's another variety born of Vivec in Morrowind.
