luzburg Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 it seems that the soul cairn is dawnguard's dark gem like blackreach was in the vanilla skyrim. a thoroughly enjoyable place to wander around :D I thought Blackreach was highly overrated. I had heard so much about it from fellow gamers and it didn't really live up to the hype visually, and lore wise, there's so much down there that doesn't have any explanation or background. The creatures are so random too. There's a colony of frost spiders, a frost troll, a Giant, a Wisp Mother, a dragon, all without explanation. There's no explanation for the human slaves, why they serve the Falmer.. And that's ignoring all the dwemer areas. Well it was abandoned lol. Whats to stop creatures moving in? The human slaves are explained in a book somewhere. The falmer have been kidnapping humans in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stemin Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well it was abandoned lol. Whats to stop creatures moving in? The Falmer for one thing. Of which there are very few, for supposedly their main city. At least that's the way I understood the lore, was the Falmer took over and inhabited Blackreach when the Dwemer disappeared, and yet there's more Falmer huts in the Forgotten Vale than there are in Blackreach. Probably more Falmer as well. And if this place is so hidden that so few people knew about it, how are these creatures getting in in the first place? There ought to be at least one entry to the "overworld" if these things are getting down there. And why does the dragon behave as he does? The human slaves are explained in a book somewhere. The falmer have been kidnapping humans in recent years. That doesn't explain why they would defend the Falmer. In that one part of the Silent City, they appear to be listening to a lecture by one.

And why does the dragon behave as he does?As far as I am aware Blackreach was only the place that the flamer fought the Dwemer during the war of the crag, I don't recall seeing anything that indicated that it was their main home. There are three lifts that go directly from blackreach to the overworld, and many of the ruins could have at one point in the past contained entrances to Blackreach that collapsed. As for the Dragon I am not sure what you mean by how it behaves. That doesn't explain why they would defend the Falmer.

luzburg Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Stockholm syndrome. :thumbsup: Another theory of mine is that the Falmer are kind masters, being ones who suffered monstrous slavery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
