    Well, it's from Bravil. The water there never looked particularly healthy...

    Hmmm.... if it's that old, the fur should be greyer
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I rarely leave my tower, to be honest. Especially since there are so many n'wah with unsettling animals outside. Sadrith Mora's harbour looks just like a zoo. I can see it from my window. And if I now imagine that all those animals have no tongue, and their owners neither... :confounded: It's probably better to stay inside.

    Oh, don't worry, you can leave your tower. They may all be disturbingly colored and shiny, but if they don't have tongues then they're also less... talkative.

    They might not be able to talk, but are you sure those colours don't mean they're poisonous? Maybe I should send a servant first?

    This is an excellent idea, but just think of the costs if it turns out they're really toxic! But maybe we can take some samples and then work on the appropriate antidotes.

    But that's exactly what's going to drive you into bankruptcy, considering how often you have to test it out! Therefore the "testers" need to be better prepared.

    Heroes in Tamriel are a dime a dozen and are quite used to checking out skeevers in you basement and similar tasks. Just for a handful of pebbles from your backyard and wearing a quest marker over your head for a bit.

    They are, but would they like to play the guinea pig for antidotes, for example? To protect us at last from all those evil creatues without tongues?

    Indeed, it's so easy nowadays. And if we can't find an adventurer, we could maybe just ask the Hlaalu? There's always one who'd sell his own mother for 5 gold.

    Excuse me, but neither I nor any other good standing Hlaalu would ever sell their mother for that! I'm willing to discuss one of the servants though, or for bit more, my good for nothing cousin.

    Not sure if it really helps to advertise something you'd wish to sell as "good for nothing"...

    He's good for nothing to me and the family, but I'm sure he'll be an exceptional test- ahem, guest.

    On the topic of the dog, I agree I can't STAND the numerous dog pets that have this horrid issue, it's uncomfortable to look at. Even if it just had a few teeth, it'd help.

    It's Great House Telvanni trying to find a cure for the horrifying disease that makes dogs' and n'wah's tongue and teeth fall off. If no one shows any gratitude for that, I can as well get back to more important matters than n'wah and their n'wah pets. Like ordering my servant to brew me another pot of tea. Or my hobbyist Vvardvark kennel (at least they've got tongues!).

    Yeah same! There has been events where they have gone back and touched up old content in the form of locations & NPC's but I'm not sure if they ever have done so for Pets/Mounts before.

    Anyone aware if they have ever done that?

    Of course. This is just a minor trade, so important business always comes first. As my dear mother says: "Business comes first, and family is business". She mostly uses it as a threat, like to my cousin. So if you would increase that to 11, I can be generous and send a servant along with him.

    And to be a bit more serious aswell. No. Because of complaints to changes they have done before, ZoS doesn't make changes to things that have gone live, unless they cause issues.
    The dog is an old pet, and many old pets and mounts have some..oddities. I mean, just look at the damn horses.

    God, the horses. Yes, yes, the anatomy is some non-Euclidean geometry, we all know, but no one talks about the horrifying Lisa Frank eyes the original horses had.
