faifh Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Problem is they aren't the Sons and Daughters of Skyrim anymore than anyone else. The Forsworn were there before them and so too were the Orcs apparently. The Dwemer are gone, but they were there before the Nords. Skyrim was a refined Falmer kingdom before the Nords invaded. Ulfric goes on about the 'true sons and daughters of Skyrim' and their right to govern themselves - a high irony after you learn that he slaughtered the Forsworn upon his return with his legion buddies for rebelling against the Nords and setting up a government to rule themselves. :rolleyes: Actually the Nords were first. Mankind, except the Redguards, was created on top of The Throat of the World by Kyne, the proto-nords left for Atmora while some stayed and moved south to Cyrodill. Skyrim is the land of the Nords and all Humans as they were the first people there. Where did you that get from? Its mentioned the Nords came with a ship (the original companions!), the Foresworn where the actual natives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call Skyrim the Throat of the World, because it is where the sky exhaled on the land and formed them. They see themselves as eternal outsiders and invaders, and even when they conquer and rule another people; they feel no kinship with them."

sajuukkhar9000 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Thats just so a story. http://www.imperial-library.info/content/pocket-guide-empire-first-edition-skyrim "Throat of the World This is the highest mountain in Skyrim, and the highest in Tamriel aside from Vvardenfell in Morrowind. The Nords believe men were formed on this mountain when the sky breathed onto the land. Hence the Song of Return refers not only to Ysgramor's return to Tamriel after the destruction of Saarthal, but to the Nords' return to what they believe was their original homeland.

Again just so story about their beliefs, and conflicts with the companion story to be the original colonizers of Skyrim and the Foresworn story, to be natives.

You are seriously debating some of the most common lore, its like not knowing what the towers are.

Skyrim is the land of all humans as they were the first people there. Not according to the Lore in the game. The Nords were slaughtering invaders. All the races I mentioned were there before them.

All the races I mentioned were there before them.There's at least one book and the pocket guide to the empire that say otherwise. I just remembered reading somewhere, weren't the Bosmer also part humans? Can't remember exactly...No bretons are half-human Bosmer were made out of the same spirits as the Khajiit.

FordPerfect Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nords come from Atmora, not Skyrim. Check your 'facts' so other people don't have to please. :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
