this is Okkori, he's a kothringi hunter turned solider turned pirate turned a whole fuck ton of things in his immortal life.

ramblings and extra art below;

Fun Fact: The Reachmen although related to Bretons and therefore having Aldmer/Altmer ancestry. They also have Nord, Nede, Orc and even Dremora ancestry.

Fun Fact 2: Proto-Bretons were the first generations of the Direnni Aldmer/Altmer and Nedes native to High Rock, and they were said to be in distinguishable from other elves. They were mistaken for elves by the Atmorans and were attacked, and then were mistaken for being human slaves taken from the Falmer from Saarthal during The Night Of Tears attack.

I dunno I think their pretty cool cause their kind of related to the Bretons cause their Nedic descendants (probably closer to ‘true’ Nedes than the Bretons are) and they are apparently like, silver?? Of course, they mostly lived in Black Marsh so it wouldn’t have been too ‘strange’ but still it’s insane to think that a MAN race has such different skin.

Kind of makes you think about the Nedes and what they might’ve been like. Cause, of course, we meet Caldwell who’s a Nede but he’s not a reliable source, as he’s dead and doesn’t remember everything. But he just looks like a basic Imperial or Breton.

Moving past that I think it’s really cool that their most worshiped patron is Z’en, aka Zenithar. Cause he’s not at all talked about. Also he’s not really a ‘Black Marsh’ God. You’d think they’d worship the Hist, living on their land, but they worship more Imperial Gods like Kynareth, Dibella and Mara.

"Kothringi ... yes. I remember now! I am a Kothringi! A plague swept across the village. Sickness, death, corpses piled everywhere... No, I'm the last of the Kothringi. I should rejoin my people."
