    Oh, Gnewna in all her glory! Yes, yes, yes, please! :D

    Cliffracers are an obvious choice, true, but Scrib...I think that if you go with Kwama in general you might actually have more stuff to write about than just one stage of Kwama. What do you think?

    :D Hmm, that's very true, although I think I might tie my brain in knots trying to figure it all out (as Teineeva said!)

    As to those blasted cliffracers... One has to wonder if that still counts as biology? I know a certain, very convincing, dark elf (with a lovely voice) who claims they have gone extinct. It doesn't really matter for the purposes of this event but it could be an interesting thing to look into.

    True, I suppose it'd be more Natural History? Perhaps a little oddity from the past, though?

     

    Sadly I'm currently unable to get even older games to play very happily on my PC, or I'd fire up Morrowind and have a potter around, see what takes my fancy. Ooooh, maybe Dreughs, if nobody else has picked them? Possibly comparison between them and the Land Dreughs found in Cyrodiil (which I dimly remember reading aren't necessarily a closely related species, though I might be imagining that/thinking of a piece of fanon...)

     

    I'm pretty much sure I've read or heard that bit about the two types of dreughs being different as well. It's either in a book or a loading screen in Oblivion I think. Could be a very interesting thing to look into if you can find the source.

    Don't mistake my perplexion on the subject of Kwama as discouragement though. There's bound to be stuff on their subject, and with the new ESO DLC coming in soon there will probably be even more. Apart from that you wouldn't even have to approach their biology, the Kwama's cultural effects on Morrowind for example are clearly present. Hell, there might even be some lore on how to cook Kwama. That would be a fun little article.

    I might have heard that Kwama eggs are a delicacy.

    Oh no, I didn't think you were being discouraging, just that I think I'd get confused (disability stuff) and someone else could probably do a better job of that one! I might look into dreughs :) Though influence on cuisine and culture might be interesting...

    Awesome Lore Event, hosts, I love the pure creativity thrown into this idea. I think I'll go with trolls as my lore article. I'm sure there's not much lore out there on them :p

    Uderfrykte. 

    I just googled it and that alone gave me plenty of info to begin with. Lissette, are you trying to take Phil's place as loremaster?

    Trolls. Trolls everywhere :D

    As Lis says. Underfrykte is definitely way to go with trolls, plus I'll drop you a hint. Trolls uber regenerative abilities. How does it work? How extensive it can be? Pretty much no info on that which means lot of room for theories. Imagine you are a researcher thrown into Tamriel. What would you think about the regeneration? What would be your opinion and theory?

    This could be an advice to anyone writing their first article. In general, try to look through the eyes of the people from TES and then look through your own. Gonna write you down for Trolls in a sec, Rogue.

    All noted. I had always thought the troll's regenerative abilities had lore on how it worked. That itself is interesting, especially when their healing abilities are well known. Now I've gotta make a field researcher in Skyrim later today. Thanks, Karver.
