Where is the lore of this dead cat? Is it some oddity that was out there in the book? If it was unique in lore, why would there suddenly be thousands?
Besides, why is immersion something that some people often make subject of ridiculousnes? Why is immersion and lore so under rated these days that games can add everything because its cool, especially if it gives money to company. Why cant games keep true to lore these days. As i said, its not a one mount that makes a game good but the game world itself which can go bad very fast if there is added something that does not belong.
Thank you for making TES world feel more like Azeroth again. Sparkling ponies and rune cats fit nicely to that orther game but in here, they are ridiculous.
Can we be done with these money grabbers or make them cost double of what they have been for now.
I know there is only the flaming pony and this rune cat cat but thats allreadsy too much, TES should stay true to TES lore, not invent lore on the go, especially when its in the tween of established lore we have many books about in many TES games.
In my opinion, these rae not fit for TES woreld, i know that many of you feel otherwise "It's an MMO and people need to have cool stuff". Sadly this is the thinking process of today, why game needs some mounts that do not belong to the world to be a good game? Rather make some more effort to make good cosmetic system which is not based on costumes, invent more clothing, ways to customise normal mounts with armor, bags and stuff.
Keep the game true to setting where its supposed to be.

Because many of those people who complain about immersion dont seem to know much about TES lore (and yes, ESO is canon lore-wise).

So much of this ^^^^
I don't know what is more annoying. People who don't know anything about the lore at all and thus suggests ridiculous things like dragon mounts and playable dwemer, or people who know just a bit about the lore but think they know enough to make "lore-breaking" claims based on immersion.

But since Bethesda has said that what happens in ESO is Lore (as Bethesda had not written a great deal of Lore for the 2nd Era), then the ESO Lore in Reaper's March on the Dro'mathra will most likely stand in future Elder Scrolls games.Uriel_Nocturne wrote: »The Dro'mathra are all over the Lore of the Khajiit and of Elsweyr as a whole.Where is the lore of this dead cat?

The Dro'mathra are dark spirits corrupted by the Dark Mane, and their numbers are uncountable. They are Senche, Khajiit, anyone/any creature to be frank.
This mount does not break the Lore in any way, especially not in a world steeped in Magicka like Nirn is.
ALL over the lore @Uriel_Nocturne ? What lore has the Dro-M'Athra been in outside of ESO? I think there was a mention of the Dro-M'Athra at some point prior to ESO... but I couldn't find the text.
That being said... I fully support the addition/expansion of the Dro-M'Athra within ESO. I don't think the mount is lore breaking at all. In fact I 100% support the mount... even though it might be contradictory to ESO's own lore about Khajiit.
The fact that this mount has lore behind it and we can say "hey... this is where this came from." is awesome. Also the fact that this mount manifests and doesn't just "pop" into the world is also wonderful. I'm my opinion, everything about this mount is right. Well, except the price... but that's for a different thread.
And aside from reading about them, you actually fight quite a few of them (of all kinds of types) during various Quests in Reaper's March.
And I agree, I support the expansion in the Dro'mathra as well. I wouldn't have charged 4000 Crowns for it, but I can see where the additional work was put into it.

An undead mount is easily explained by Necromancy. The problem is that Necromancy is generally frowned upon (or even illegal depending on where you are). But it is not really lore-breaking.

oh i agree, and im having to bite my tounge to keep from advocating adding a necro skill line
but i digress, arvak or simular mounts can be explained away, but the dro'mathra is difficult, honestly if they just renamed it 'dead thrall senche' i think they could pass it off better. cause if you played skyrim, you know that the dead thrall spell spreads blue-ish necro shine all across the character you raised, and if you did that to a panther senche, it might look like this

@bloodenragedb14_ESO The cat is an evil spirits that's possessed a senche (which can happen). It's established in the lore already, you don't need to invent your own canon behind it to accept it.
Is this game canon? I play it and enjoy it, but i cant consider it to be canon in tes lore. Really hope eso isn't canon, so we can enjoy all this non sense stuff.

But that Frozen Mount...I dare any of these so called lore buffs to point it out to me on UESP or the Imperial Library.
I actually like the Ice Horse on a very wizardy focused character. It makes sense, even if it is out of the norm. In some ways I feel it is more appropriate because unlike Skyrim, you can lose your horse. In this game she appears out of your pocket. That sounds like you're summoning an ice atronach horse, and that's not so strange in elder scrolls for a bigshot in the guild.
Im not saying people shouldnt have it. Like I said I mainly ignore what others are riding around in or wearing. What Im pointing out is that not everything in that store has a lore component to it. The Ice Mount has NO lore at all. And ZOS didnt even attempt to add any sort of lore behind it whatso ever. They just wanted to capitalize on releasing the opposite of the nightmare courser.
The flashiest mount I own is the Clouded Senche Leopard. To each their own though.
