The Oroborus is a symbol that predates both GoT and TES.

I did not even know his name was Oroborus, it's my first TESO and i do not know anything about dragons, for me they are crocodiles with wings.

Anyway, thanks for the info! I learned something new.

Ouroboros, a circular symbol depicting a snake, or less commonly Dragon eating its own tail, representing wholeness or infinity. In ESO its depicting the three Alliances in an infinite conflict over the Ruby Throne.

The mythological Ouroboros is a single serpent devouring its own tail either in a circular form or in the shape of an infinity symbol. Modern designs have doubled the pattern to expand it into knotwork, but the tripartate version made its first appearance as a design by TES. The GoT version has been designed with three dragons but is similarly non-traditional, and since it's so much more recent than TES it does look as if someone drew their inspiration from the TES design.

Even that they are different designs. Similarities, but different.

I noticed it too. That's just an Ouroboros, the symbol is very old, nothing to do with ESO

I could understand that, but at that time i did not know what his name was Oroborus.

I saw that symbol in a Mayan pyramid, but they were a serpent like you say, and just one, it means the cosmic cycle.

Ouroboros symbol is a snake head eating its tail, not 3 different head though.

Why not use an dog rather than an snake.


Why don't Khajiit have an chaise tail idle animation.

The Oroborus is actually a symbol depicting the spiral of the Milky Way Galaxy visible at night. If you see the Milky Way clearly, if kind of looks like the mouth of a snake devouring its own tail at the galactic center.

And right before you win the game, your character just falls over dead. You can't respawn or rezz, you are just dead, forever. THE END.

Sorry to nitpick:

TES = The Elder Scrolls
TESO = The Elder Scrolls Online

As for the logo/symbol:

https://www.tokenrock.com/explain-ouroboros-70.html

https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/ouroboros/

In ESO, 3 serpents devouring each other in a continuous loop depicts the alliance war. The factions effectively cannibalising Tamriel, and eventually themselves. Its a variation of the theme.

Somehow people forget too often that many things in ESO and/or GoT are inspired by ancient mythology.

The "first men" to Westeros were ancestors of the Starks, and the "first men" to Tamriel are the Nords... Conspiracy! Okay not really.

The mayans like native americans are descendants from asiatic people who brought this idea or story with them, infact this symbol is used by all cultures including early europeans, ancient greeks, ancient assyrians, the indians who are asiatic, ancient egyptians, phoenecions, israelites/hebrews etc etc.. The ouroboros is not a snake it is a dragon. All cultures get this dragon from one source.

Infact, you are inaccurate as heck, it is not always dragon, many times depending on the culture it is a snake. Also it has nothing to do with Judaism (israelites/hebrews).
