We say the same about Sujamma. We normally don't cook our servants, though.
Why do you dark elves call them servants if they aren't meant to be served with a meal, eh? eh?

Because they're too expensive to be... wait. Now that would have been a reasonable purpose for that obnoxious Breton! Could have sold him to one of those Bosmer travelling butchers that sometimes pass by... Too bad I already gave him away as a birthday present... One that I'm not even sure of whether Gothren appreciated it. *sigh* I really thought he liked it, as he didn't try to murder me at his birthday party (Yes, we Telvanni do celebrate our birthdays. It's not my fault commoners don't get invited.) - but when the Council finally debated over future expansion plans and my proposal to cleanse and annex Bleakrock Isle, he voted against it. What a s'wit. Although, to be fair, there would have been naming issues. We can't just name our domains "Telvanni Isle 1", "Telvanni Isle 2" (Bleakrock), "Telvanni Isle 3" (Solstheim) and "Telvanni Isle 4" (Vvardenfell), right?ArchangelIsraphel wrote: »Side Note For Worried Readers: This post is completely on topic and not at all deviating from the discussion at hand.

Maybe I should just ask Nelos what in Mephala's name he thought about when he gave an assignment to create that horrific thing. I suspect it's just another vanity project... It's getting out of hand lately.@Syldras | PC | EU

You should have included a whole bunch of confetti along with your gift! That's the problem, to be sure. I mean, the tests you ran went so well on the Breton...certainly an eternal rain of confetti would cheer Magister Gothren up? A permanent confetti-horse installation in Tel Aruhn, perhaps? Presenting an experiment at a birthday party really should have a festive feel, and what better way to celebrate than knowing you'll have to pick confetti out of every crevice of your home for the next few hundred years.
On the plus side, I'm no longer personally against my marshmallow-toasting island Bleakrock going to the Telvanni, now that I have a new portable cooktop in the form of Magister Varkenel's creation. It's truly majestic, by bosmer standards!

TheMajority✭✭✭✭✭I love the Lizard camel and find it really funny/entertaining. I'm actually happy to have it. Its really funny, and I really think it's meant that it's funny. I dont think the devs really intended it too serious. The flame spitting animation is on point lol
But don't mind me, I'm really here for the ongoing forum-lore of the telvanni magister, the bosmer confetti dealer, and the breton in the cellar lolTime flies like an arrow- but fruit flies like a banana.
Sorry for my English, I do not always have a translation tool available. Thank you for your patience with our conversation and working towards our mutual understanding of the topic.5 -

But the Breton was filled with confetti! Wasn't that obvious enough? ... But you're right, maybe I should indeed try to cheer Gothren up. He seems a bit grumpy since that one incident... Anyway. How about this: I'll bribe his guards and sneak into Tel Aruhn at night, and suspend a confetti horse over Gothren's bed. He'll be truly surprised waking up having a confetti horse's butt right above his face!ArchangelIsraphel wrote: »On the plus side, I'm no longer personally against my marshmallow-toasting island Bleakrock going to the Telvanni, now that I have a new portable cooktop in the form of Magister Varkenel's creation.

This gives me another idea: How could this chimera be modified so it would be even more useful for the average person's needs? Maybe the next version should also include some kind of cooling device? Or how about a portable shower? If it seems reasonable, we could also integrate a confetti dispenser.@Syldras | PC | EU

The people of Tamriel do seem to like their conveniences...hmmm...I know! An automatic dismount function. Load the saddle with fireworks whose fuses make contact with the mounts flaming-hot hide the moment they stop moving. The highly volatile formula will explode, ejecting the rider from the seat immediately. A stream of confetti will fly through the air in their wake, helping their friends to find where they ultimately land.
Of course, in order to avoid being dismounted, they'll have to keep riding the camel-lizard perpetually, at full speed, but that's just a minor flaw in the system. I'm sure the benefits of never having to dismount manually again will far outweigh the drawbacks.
It's sure to be a success : DLegends never die

HedgeHugger✭✭✭It looks better than I thought it would when actually using it.
It also has a slightly more interesting name than the usual lizard bear, lizard senche etc (Friday afternoon naming session, if ever I saw one! ). 0 -

Oh, I can imagine that being a well sought-after gift item here in Telvanni lands. Of course the automatic dismount function would be kept a surprise by the gifter. Who doesn't love surprises, after all.
But for Gothren, I'll go for the confetti horse, just as planned. More precisely, I have already acquired another specimen that I will take to Tel Aruhn tonight (Yes, things like these are better done immediately! I know if I start procrastinating things, I'll never get them done, like that one experiment with the Khajiit, the basalt column and the netch jelly).
For reasons irrelevant, I know that Gothren spends his evenings drinking tea and reading obscure Dremora romance novels scriptures. He goes to bed half past midnight. I'm sure he'll be sound asleep at 2 a.m. at latest, then I'll try my luck. I've decided I will not bribe the guards, I will just open a portal to Gothren's bedroom. Yes, I'm sure everything will work out according to my plans.@Syldras | PC | EU

darvaria✭✭✭✭✭Yeah it looks horrible. Another mount that will never come out. 100% WORTHLESS.
TBH all mounts should be equines. Maybe wolves, tigers and guars.

But showing off my giant annoying animation is precisely why I buy those mounts, so if that setting were implemented, it would depreciate the value of my existing assets and remove any incentive to purchase additional mounts with dramatic entrances.2 -

I think camels are fine, too
In general I prefer mounts that make sense logically and lore-wise. Khajiit riding senche is "normal", orcs have their durzogs, Dunmer traditionally use guar because they are the most reasonable thing to use as a small private mount, considering the natural fauna of Morrowind. I'm fine with nix oxens, too. I can see Altmer taming and riding Indriks. I'm even fine with beings artificially created through magic, especially if they have become wide-spread and a normal sight in the areas where they live. Horrendous spore creatures and glowing neon gummi bears, on the other hand... No, thank you. Although what truly annoys me is this:AcadianPaladin wrote: »I've come to hate 'exploding' mounts because whenever anyone near me mounts one, it obliterates my screen for a couple seconds.

No, there are lots of mounts that aren't overly flashy but look good. I'm a big fan of the non-flashy indriks, and my main character has used the aurelic quasigriff for a long time now.Yeah it looks horrible. Another mount that will never come out. 100% WORTHLESS.

✭✭✭✭✭I love the indriks. There's actually good precedent for them from the Summerset release. The first thing I saw when I started exploring Summerset was an indrik - and I immediately wanted one to ride....______________________________________________________

Well, yeah. Bears (and camels, and all the "heavyweights") are a problem (at least for me). But I don't like guars or anything else that comes out of dunmer territory (including dunmer....)
I don't like the horses in this game either - they're.... impossibly wrong. ZOS needs to hire @AlienSlof to fix them. As a long-time horsewoman, I am SERIOUSLY offended by the travesty of horses in this game.
Senches. Wolves. Foxes. And Indriks. Those are fine.Edited by TaSheen on June 21, 2024 1:37AM______________________________________________________
