Now THAT was very interesting! I like that you put it in Player Guides instead of Lore, because this is your take on the situation currently obtaining, and it may not be actual lore, or supported in actual lore.

I salute you - you took a lot of dry information, and not only made it readable, but intelligible.

Thank you for reading, Sylvermynx! Yes, you're absolutely right - it's just a description of the current in-game situation largely from the same in-game positions but using one of the IRL socio-economic method perspective to analyse the internal processes of all the ten races' societies, to understand what a "character class" is, what the Alliance War is, etc. Some points are surely absent in the lore and are not touched by the gameplay, but the method allows to make a model of it to understand how should it be set. It's like a puzzle - watching a certain part of it, you're able to understand what the whole picture should be. My thoughts on the Altmeri Sapiarchy are a good example of it: the lore seemingly keeps silence on the matter of what they are naturally, but the usage of that socio-economic method logic gives us a possible answer. This is why I was not even thinking of publishing it in the lore section, but could not decide between the General and the Guides one.

I don't know if the devs have ever had the intent to do it, but the universe they created fully reconciles the scientific theories of social development IRL. I was really surprised to realize that. I think we have to thank all those TES devs who have been creating the universe since the 90s. Thank you for your time taken to read that Guide and for your attention !
