The Morag Tong was first introduced in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and features prominently as one of the joinable factions. They broke off and formed their own guild, and a feud has existed ever since. The founding members of the Dark Brotherhood felt that the ways in which the Morag Tong conducted business were too tame, with the same aggrieved members also being more interested in killing for money. According to Elder Scrolls lore, the Dark Brotherhood began as an offshoot of an older assassin group known as the Morag Tong.
And honestly, leaving these errors in the series just makes it all the more endearing.There are many guilds in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, among them the shadowy organization of joinable assassins known as the Dark Brotherhood, who have a feud with the Morrowind-based assassins of the Morag Tong. But it's alright, Bethesda always seems to find a way to work around them. Of course, these errors in canon aren't earth-shattering (or probably the only ones out there), but they are pretty silly once you take notice. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. "You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. "And after the throne of Alinor did finally break at the feet of Men, and news of it came to the Dragon Emperor in Cyrodiil, he gathered his captains and spoke to them, saying:
We know this is canon because the priest Heimskr in Whiterun tells us so in Skyrim when he quotes "From the Many-Headed Talos": And of course, this happened after the events of TESO. It begs the question: Is there some weird time warp in the Elder Scrolls series no one's telling us about?Īnother rather glaring issue is that Cyrodill was supposed to be a jungle until after Tiber Septim ascended to become Talos, using chim to reshape the land.
We know that the events of TESO take place in Tamriel's 2nd era, yet some of the books you find in the game were written AFTER the 2nd era (uh, whut?). Two of the books in question are: Why? Because there are towers scattered all across Tamriel specifically meant to prevent the melding of the physical realm with the realm of Oblivion. Sure, some of the towers had fallen, but the majority of them were still standing when the soulburst occurred.Īnd that's not the only hiccup in The Elder Scrolls Online. There are records from the same era, including the invasion of the Kamal from Akavir, which took place only 10 years beforehand, but not a single book or scroll outlines the events of the soulburst.Īnd in reality, the events following the soulburst shouldn't have been able to happen in the first place. I mean, you'd think one of Tamriel's many scholars would've written that down, right? Huge spires descending from the sky and rending the earth in two is a pretty big deal.īut guess what? There's not a single record of this actually happening. This would be fine and dandy had the lore from previous games ever mentioned these events. In The Elder Scrolls Online, after the soulburst event, giant anchors descend from the sky and crash into the earth, each trying to pull the earth into the Oblivion realm of Molaag Bal.
