Check the definition of earth.

the substance of the land surface; soil.
"a layer of earth"

earth is not the same as Earth

"Unnirn a treasure chest" then? That sounds like flinging it into an Oblivion portal.

Thief troves also count for this one, just fyi.

You know what I'd like to see wrt antiquities? An update to Murkmire that includes a deep delve (not group dungeon), where excavating antiquities is enabled. That would be way cool! Just an item on my wish-list.

BTW I get that this doesn't have much to do with the thread, it's just something I thought of when I read the title.

Know dolmen chests give reward same with the chests in DSA. But will these chest fulfill the daily quest?

When earth is spelled with the first letter in lowercase it refers to dirt/soil/ground etc..

When its spelled with the first letter in uppercase it refers to the planet we live on.

This game is produced by Earth humans, for other Earth humans. The game's UI/etc is not meant to be written "in character".

A thieves trove works too

unnirn doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily...

Pretty sure there is an NPC IG called Guardian of the Earth. Think there's water and air, too. So, in the elemental sense, it deffo works.

There's a forge called Earth Forge which is underground:

There's a family named Earth-Turner, who are farmers (and what do farmers do?):

On Solstheim (which you could visit in TES3 and TES5) there are dolmens dedicated to nature and the elements, one of them is the Earth Stone (there's also a Water and a Wind Stone):

There's also the Earth Bones, another name for the Ehlnofey.

Earth may not be the name of the planet but it seems to be used as a general name for the substances it's made from. (And also as a practical measure, because there's only so many made up words you can swap into a fantasy setting before it becomes impractical.)

Is it TEAR or TEAR though?

"The caverns get their name from the huge rents in the earth that dominate the area."

Funny thing, they translated in the wrong way in the German localization of the game (the French one is correct though, as far as I know).

I think it's TEAR.

But I guess it could be TEAR.

I'm surprised this hasn't been moved to the "Lore" section of the forums yet.

TEAR makes more sense than TEAR.

Yeah, I think you might be right.
TEAR is probably a better fit than TEAR.

I have read several novels where the characters joked that people from "Earth" named their planet after the dirt....

sPark101

I believe earth means planet Earth. no big deal

Pretty sure it's tear.

Any chest found in the world works for this. Ive memorized a few around the area that I park my characters and I complete the quest rather quickly. Bar the loading because of how many are in Craglorn right now.

The visual of the Vestige finding a treasure, seeing it and going 'meh', and then opening a round portal to Oblivion and chucking it in, had me laughing for a good minute now

So that's what they meant when they said "Close shut the jaws of Oblivion". Just shove a chest in a portal.

It sounds so wrong when you say it like this.

Both, it's torn out of the rock and you cry when you have to go back into the hot dusty land.

I think so? I'm pretty sure Maelstrom chests count, so you could go in, clear round one, and hop back out. If that's correct, then, yeah, it would apply with DSA as well.
