    Firemoth Island.

    You win this round.
    Don't get it?
    It was the starting location in ESO: Morrowind and an slaver base, it was an imperial fort in TES3 700 years later.

    The island has a Velothi name. The Imperial name dates to the first or second century of the Third Era. Meaning it shouldn't be called "Firemoth" in ESO.
    Makes perfect sense :)

    Why is this a trigger? Dragonknights use the Thu'um, and the Tsaesci and their followers and students are the ones trying to spread it far and wide. Or is your issue that they're not the right strain of vampire?

    I just thought of another one, that irks me to no end: "mana" instead of "magicka". I don't know which setting that comes from but in TES, it's always "magicka"!

    Somebody didnt play Battlespire or read Arcana Restored
    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    Who cares if the game breaks lore.. after all.. is lore really all that important?

    Yes to some and kinda yes to most .
    I personally think lore are there to serve the game and the gameplay.What I most like about the main ES series is immersion.But too much lore inconsistency break the overall immersion.
    So yes it is important.
    Especially for such a long series with deep lore it is very important in this case.
    Lore consistency can also lead to lessen the franchise fatigueness.
    In case of ESO , I do not very much mind the lore breaking as it is a spin-off.

    Yes they do.

    If it was the Thu'um, then the DKs would be shouting constantly. The critical part to understand is that the Thu'um is verbal in nature. "Shouting," isn't a metaphor, you're yelling in the Dragon language. For a DK to be using a Thu'um, they'd need to belt out Yol Toor Shul every time they cast fire breath.

    Whitecoat's been arguing that the DKs are using the Thu'um. Which, no, they're not. How the Thu'um functions has been examined in exhaustive detail, and what the DKs are doing doesn't fit it at all. The DKs think they're, "channeling the power of the dragons," but, given how their abilities manifest, not so much, no.

    "ESO doesn't break lore"
    Now that is very subjective.
    Personally I rather dislike people who say:
    "ESO breaks lore"

    It's probably safe to say though that neither/both are true, depending on what area of the lore you're looking at.

    This is actually perfectly lore-friendly, considering the nature of racials in ESO. The vast majority of them are either not wholly dependant on your racial background or easily inherited from a different race father. Argonian fast swimming is probably the only one that can't be (and Khajiit Night Eye, but that's not in ESO).

    ehhh, Whitecoat uses lore sources for pretty strong support. How the Thuum functions may just be a failure of game mechanics.

    At first, it seemed to me that the lore kept it up in the air. But, the sources do seem to support that they use the Thuum.

    This would take them out of the realm of racials and into personal strengths and skills.

    Elder Scrolls is a Bethesda title. Lore from there is higher that ZoS lore. The only place it matters to take one side over the other is conflict. Like with Thu'um being so easily and readily taught to everyone that is a DK. There just isnt good lore logic to it
