What do you think would be an appopriate lore friendly Telvanni mount?

Gothren

I see alot of guars in morrowind so im thinking that might be a great pick for a telvanni wizard mount. However, telvanni mages are known to dabble in dwemer artifcats, necromancy, and daedra. It might make sense for them to be riding a dwemer spider mount, undead horse mount, knightmare mount, etc.

I don't know what do you guys think? I can't decide.

Any of those fancy atronach mounts will do, but I don't see why Telvanni wizard can't ride a regular horse or guar. You can be a powerful mage, but look like a common person. A matter of personal choice, yes?

Real Telvanni don't ride anywhere. They levitate, they use Almsivi Intervention, and Mark and Recall spells.

But since this isn't the glory days of TES III: Morrowind, I suggest a Nix-ox. Because giant fleas are awesome and they're tall enough to keep your wizard robes from tailing in the mud.

I'm inclined to agree palanquin would probably be the way to go, if they couldn't teleport. In general, however, I don't see Telvanni wizards - the powerful, high-ranking ones at least - traveling much at all. As a group they seem the sort to make someone below them do the traveling for them.

Pretty much. Unlike the Redoran and Hlaalu councilors, the Telvanni councilors don't actually meet. Their Mouths do.

Why? They are not Bosmers after all, and even them don't have a problem to ride a horse, right?

Dunmer are about as tall as Imperials. As for Telvanni mounts, I am using a Dwemer spider, an Atronach mount will do too, but remember that the Telvanni aren't very "flashy" so a normal guar/horse/nix-ox would do just fine.

hey thx for your response. I think im leaning more toward a guar or the dwarven spider. im not a big fan of the atronach mounts.

When I must get out, I simply conjure up a skeletal horse. Why earn loyalty like the commoners when you can simply crush the free will of a tortured soul?

For you uneducated N’wahs: Yes, House Telvanni does indeed practice necromancy. To quote the unabridged edition of Ancestors and the Dunmer:

“Telvanni "Necromancy"
The Telvanni are adept masters of necromancy. They do not, however, practice necromancy upon the remains of Dark Elves. Sane Telvanni regard such practices with loathing and righteous anger. They do practice necromancy upon the remains of animals and upon the remains of Humans, Orcs, and Argonians -- who are technically no more than animals in Morrowind.”

When no-one is looking, however, I cast Tinur’s Hoptoad and leap gracefully across Tamriel.

So...a palanquin carried by undead Argonians?

Teleportation and levitation.

Well since Mark & Recall, Levitation and argonian slaves carrying you isn't an option, I'd go for either some kind of undead/atronach horse (since most Telvanni wizards have a knack for necromancy and summoning), Nix-Ox (really looks like something grown for Morrowind ashlands), Guar (typical mount among the dunmer, but Telvanni aren't your typical dunmers) or dwarven spider (if your character has interest in dwemer mechanics, not every Telvanni have)

I think the best Telvanni mount is a portal or a couch. Because A: Portal because that's just convenient for them. B: Couch because they don't leave their mushroom towers anyway. So best get a couch to sit comfortably cause you won't be going far. You'll just get someone else to go there for you. xD

Certain Telvanni have big interests in dwemer technology they can employ dwemer spiders as mount, otherwise they prefer teleportation and levitation.

Also, Divayth Fyr have horse named Xyldan

The King, not knowing very well of the Dunmer traditions and culture, offered one of his finest steeds to me when I began my service in Cyrodil. Had this grand beast been found in Vvardenfel, it may very well have been on a spit above a well tendered firepit. However, having been in the service and presence of the Empire these past couple of years, I have grown to appreciate and respect these beasts which are so foreign to me, other than on a plate with fine herbs. I respectfully accepted this gift and promised a good life for it. This "horse", which I titled Xyldan, has since become more than a tool. Xyldan and I have bonded and I am honored to have such a friend as he. I have known many Dunmer who have befriended guar, and for this, I thought them silly. I now understand this bond and it is far from silly. I may be older than many pines of the north, but it is never too late for an old Dunmer to learn and find sense in that of which he never thought so. So then, Xyldan and I now traveled together west, home.

don't have the dwemer spider mount yet. have to wait until it goes on sale. im using the zombie horse now as I believe a necromancy type mount would suit a telvanni mage at least until i acquire the other mount.

A throne supported by two Argonians?

Merlin13KAGL

Levitate, Mark, and Recall, of course...

TelvanniWizard

Any mount will really do. A Telvanni doesn´t care, as long as he likes it and it´s useful. From a horse, guar, or some giant insect from Morrowind, to a daedric atronacht or dwemer mount, anything will do (even that awesome suggestion of the palanquin carried by undead argonians ).

And the glamour of having two differently coloured argonians carrying you?
