kradus Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I thought the guy was born in Atmora, then I ran into this http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Tiber_Septim It says there that he was born as Hjalti(nord name?) in Alcaire, an island south of High Rock, and was only named Talos afterwards. So what could this mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajuukkhar9000 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Its possible that Tiber was a Breton, or he oculd have just been a Nord born in High Rock. What we do know is that him being from Atmora is false, and made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayyyleb Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) As a disclaimer: wikis aren't exactly 100% reliable on lore. However, being born in Alcaire doesn't make one automatically a Breton. People of all races live in all the different regions of Tamriel.

imperistan Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Considering what he became, its likely that all is true about him now, even if in the past that wasn't the case, and indeed, even though in the present's past that wasn't the case. (Wrap your mind around that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperium999 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The Elder Scrolls Wiki is a highly dubious source of info. I highly recommend UESP instead, where you will find that there are two contradicting versions of Tiber Septim's origin, and the one where he's born on Alcaire is not the 'officially sanctioned' version:http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Tiber_Septim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooker75 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I use both myself, as both wikis have issues. As a general rule, the TES wikia has longer, more detailed articles (except on matters of lore), while uesp has more accurate and more technical information. If the two conflict on some point, you should generally trust the uesp version. Edited February 15, 2013 by Rooker75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kradus Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 So, what is it? High Rock or Atmora? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcat221 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So, what is it? High Rock or Atmora? Well... Do you want to believe the Heretical word or the Orthodox word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperistan Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 He was everything he was ever called. Ascending to Godhood (and being combined with several people) lets you do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlduinWorldEater Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just from what I know of Elder Scrolls lore (which is to say, very little), I believe Talos was born on the continent of Atmora. That would make him, most likely, one of the Nedic peoples, or perhaps "Atmoran" is a race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
