oh to be the hero of kvatch riding shadowmere around the lake rumare looking for some ayleid ruins to explore đł
OP this is fucking EXQUISITE Please tell me you have prints of this available I NEED
gif and static version
looks stupit I want ten
The best part of this is that the explanation is even sillier:
these arenât even a âraceâ of khajit, theyâre just regular khajit. Whether khajit end up like housecats or humans or a fucking lion is solely determined by what phase of the moons theyâre born under.
So, you could be practically human, your sister could be a frickin smilodon, and your parents could just be housecats?
Wild
Hands down the best worldbuilding ever made; all other worldbuilding is cancelled forever
This is the only thing we need
Could you imagine telling your sister, who just wants you to open the tuna, neener neener neener who doesnât have any thumbs?
Or âDAD. NEEDLE TOES, COME ON!â
You know this happens daily in so many Khajit households

When we say Dunmer have grey skin:
âDark Elves are the dark-skinned, red-eyed Elven peoples of Morrowind. The âdarkâ part may come from their dark grey skin, but it also fits their gloomy dispositions. Folks call them 'Dark Elfâ in the West, but they call themselves the 'Dunmer.'â   â Dialogue from Morrowind
Thereâs more diversity in skin tone than people think.
Iâm just gonna start at the beginning and go through the games to show what I mean. This is both an artist resource and evidence that itâs perfectly fine to create Dunmer characters with skin tones other than âgrey.â
Hereâs the Dunmer from Arena:
You couldnât choose any other skin tone, so the color palette of midtone, shadow, and highlight looks like this:
Daggerfallâs Dunmer:
Still no option to change skin color so our palette is still really simple:
Battlespireâs Dunmer:
(Thank the gods the male Dunmer is wearing pants.)
Still only one skin tone, but the male Dunmer seems to have slightly lighter skin than the female Dunmer, so hereâs our palettes:
Redguardâs Dunmer:
Itâs a terrible picture, but itâs the only one I could find. Hereâs his palette:
Morrowindâs Dunmer:
Thereâs still no option to change skin color, but it looks like the male Dunmer has slightly darker skin than the female Dunmer. Hereâs the palettes:
I couldnât find any good pictures of Dunmer from Shadowkey, but hereâs the female and male Dunmer profile pictures:
Their skin tone is close enough to have the same color palette:
Now weâre at Oblivion, which is where things get nuts. Oblivion was the first TES game which allowed you to choose your own skin tone. Unfortunately, the slider system was so messed up, that you could eventually get any skin tone with any race. I once accidentally made my Redguard character bright, fire-truck red. Somehow. Skin tones are literally infinite.
My solution for figuring out canon Oblivion skin tones was to look at all the Dunmer NPCs and figure out their skin tones. I used every NPC for which I could find a good screenshot, which ended up being almost every single Dunmer NPC. Their individual palettes are in the bottom right corner of their pictures.
As you can see, the range of skin tones is extensive. Very few of them could be described as simply âgrey.â Just to illustrate my point, I took the mid-tone for each NPC and sorted them all by hue. Hereâs the results:
Thatâs basically a desaturated rainbow. @cliffâracer has a headcanon I really like which explains the sudden wide variety of Dunmer skin tones in Cyrodiil as the result of mixed races. Cyrodiil would be the place with the greatest opportunity for mixed race children, so it makes sense.
Moving on to Skyrim:
Skyrim has five skin tones, but theyâre all very similar. Hereâs the mid-tones in order by lightness:
After the wide variety available in Oblivion, Skyrimâs selection is kind of disappointing. Even if they didnât want to give us purple and green and blue Dunmer, at the very least they could have gone darker. I always end up choosing the fourth or fifth option simply because all the other ones look whitewashed.
Elder Scrolls Online was kind enough to provide its own color palette:
Hereâs what they look like on my buddy Tel here:
The top row seems to have a slightly tan undertone, and the bottom row has a slightly blue-green undertone.
The depiction of Dunmer skin color in The Elder Scrolls: Legends is nearly as varied as it is in Oblivion. Thereâs many pictures where skin color is just a flat grey, or where the art is so stylized, or the lighting is so intense that skin color isnât discernible, but hereâs a selection of closeups of Dunmer cards in which skin color is more easily seen:
And hereâs some I wasnât even sure were originally drawn to be Dunmer even though it says âDark Elfâ on the card:
Hereâs the mid-tones for the Legends Dunmer sorted by hue:
Just look at that desaturated rainbow!
The changing of the color of the Dunmerâs skin is a major piece of cultural lore. Itâs part of what changed them, as a people, from the Chimer into the Dunmer. Azura cursed them to have grey skin and red eyes after Almsivi broke their promise to Nerevar and used Kagrenacâs tools to become living gods. Almsivi reframed the transformation to become a point of pride, and their skin color became a religious symbol.
"Velothi, your skin has become the pregnant darkness. My brooding has brought this on. Remember that Boethiah asked you to become the color of bruise. How else to show yourselves people of the exodus into the vital: pain?â â Vivec speaking in the 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 32
âThe color of bruiseâ is a significant phrase, because bruises arenât just grey. Bruises are purple and blue and brown and green. Make your Dunmer colorful! Itâs part of their cultural heritage!Â

the fact that daedra had to stop opening gates in black marsh because the argonians kept reverse-invading them is so funny to me it was just like
daedra: weâre invading
argonians: no, weâre invading
Daedra: invades
Argonians:
argonians: WHOâS THE DAEDRA NOW, ASSWAGON
Daedra:Â WE COME FROM A REALM OF FLAME AND DEATH TO CONQUER YOU
Argonians:Â

i decided to do a veil instead

my boyfriend has gotten me to play world of warcraft and ive finally managed to get to lvl 70 so i could make a demon hunter! (bloood elf, for the horde!) the start of being a demon hunter was all so stressfull and tumultuous that i just want her to have some r&r before we do any real questing. she stumbled into pandaria and is currently re-descovering what inner peace and fun is. i just felt the need to paint her in some soft nice clothes (this piece is not done)
Me, a humble draugr, quietly minding my own business in my barrow tomb, doing my daily chores (lighting the candles, taking the frostbite spider for a walk, making the large swinging axes swing in the corridor of large swinging axes), having a sleepover with the lads in the deathlordâs chamber
YOU, loud, alive, obnoxious, barging into our tomb eating an entire wheel of cheese, making a mess, plundering my life savings from my burial urn, setting fire to frosty (the frostbite spider), re-killing me and the lads, WAKING the deathlord
