    Speaking of this cat mount... TG dlc contains a 12-man dungeon called "Maw of Lorkhaj". You can do it on normal difficulty if you're interested in the story, and these cats are regular mobs in this dungeon. Also, there's a few quests, particulalry in Stonefalls and Reaper's March that involve Dro-Mathra, so I dont see how they are "immersion breaking".

    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.

    Here is the thing. Blizzard has made millions off of mounts alone, ZoS is just doing what works to increase its revenue.

    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.

    What you guys dont realize.. is that ESO is set in a Dragon Break, and ZoS can do whatever the f*** they want with the game, as long as the timeline at the end comes back together to form one coherent timeline.

    This is why we can have things spawn many times. There can be 1000's of instances of one thing happening all at teh same time, as they are in different dimensions. Anything and everything can happen all at the same time, and that's the beauty of it.

    I can see us visiting the dragon's land in 5-10 years. I can see us getting nearly every mount possible. Exploring every end of tamriel, which probably 60% of it HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN. The land that was created with ESO, that had never been seen... They created the lore behind ALL of it. So why cant they do the same with anything else?

    At least, this is how I view the game. It doesnt make sense in any other fashion. Why can I kill someone who I literally just killed 2 minutes ago if that isnt the case?

    So for me personally, I imagine the world of ESO like many time remnants of ONE hero of tamriel, afterall there can ONLY be one. But since this is an instance of anything and everything all at once and really nothing at all, there's millions of us. All saving the world of tamriel together seemingly, but really just different variations of the one true hero. Or no hero at all. However you want to view it.

    Technically, there is only 1 vestige but there are a ton of those running around the last time I logged in.

    Right.It wouldnt make any sense to have a ton of Arvaks being ridden all over Tamriel.

    You forget this is not a single player game and its a business selling stuff trumps immersion.

    Technically there isn't. You don't see any mention of other "vestiges" in the game. All of the main quest is solo instanced.

    The Dro'mathra are all over the Lore of the Khajiit and of Elsweyr as a whole.

    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. :wink:
    No, the Dro'mathra weren't mentioned (to my knowledge) before ESO. 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.

    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.

    everyone calls it a dro'mathra, and i agree that its a intresting mount from that part of lore

    But my headcannon?

    i used the spell 'Dead Thrall' on a panther senche, and got my new ride. you guys can keep calling it Dro'mathra or whatever, but to my mind, it still looks like someone raised a panther with Dead Thrall. ITs literally the only way my mind can accept this mount, lore speaking.

    so if you rp with me, and bring out that mount, im calling you out as a necromancer, and am gonna buy you a glass of brandy, cause we necro bro's, bro

    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.

    But it is not a dead thrall, it is a corrupted spirit connected to the Dark Mane. They are part of the Khajiiti folklore, even. The Dro-m'athra are a big part of the Reaper's March storyline in the Aldmeri Dominion, so I don't think it is too hard to explain since they existed as monsters before being a mount. They are also enemies in the Maw of Lorkhaj trial.

    Also I see no problem with adding a necromancer skill line, as long as it is explained why your character is allowed to use it. Maybe the alliance leaders can grant your character special permission. It is like how Daedric Worship is outlawed in the Dominion, but the members of the Mages Guild have special permission to summon daedra.

    look, i know the lore behind it, i love TES lore, problem is the way its explained as it makes it sound as though its a rare thing, but ALOT OF PEOPLE are gonna end up buying this, price tag being insane or not, and i cant justify it in my head that SO MANY PEOPLE have this supposedly rare mount. Edit: not only rare, but just how do you justify a having a tamed one?

    im still going with the dead thrall thing, it makes more sense to me

    I know Skyrim and those released before are canon but not sure about ESO.

    Well, there is this tweet:

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    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.

    I believe Bethesda said it is canon.

    Well, there is this tweet:


    Yeah I saw that when it was first tweeted, did you follow the replies to it?

    I try my best to ignore the more flashy Mounts. People can defend these mounts, some of them arent beyond belief or lore. 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.

    All that being said I usually ride around on imperial horse or camel. My Telvanni character however rides an ice horse (I call it the magical shiny horse) because lets face it he's Telvanni that sort of bizarre behavior suits them. I'll admit I use my loyalty reward senche in pvp, but that is purely for pvp reasons (low slung, meshes well with surroundings). Its not a huge advantage but generally I take any advantage I can.

    Yes, what's of them? Seem like people who do not like the idea, and that's all. ESO has in-game explanations for everything they put forward: Cyrodiil not being a jungle, books "from the future", Dunmer and Argonians being allied... About the name of the emperor, I find it funny, because you could have the last Dragonborn or the Nerevarine by the same name if you wanted to :P
