    Is it lore-breaking to say that Peryite created the drain vitality shout? Creating a build around Him.

    I realise this is late, and it's not exactly set-in-stone lore, but;

    'Beast races,' Orcs and humans have lifespans roughly between a half and a third of an elf's typical 200+ yr life.

    Hope this helps (Y)

    2 questions.

    1. So Hircine is the Prince of the Hunt, so I imagine he would want his children to be the best possible hunters, so would it be lore breaking to say he created the were-viruses to behave as such:

    Hircine's virus works by making the physiological changes necessary for the mortal to transform and creates a tether to Hircine's realm. When the tether first finishes, you're soul is transported to his hunting grounds where a Hunt begins. Hircine then chooses one of his hunters based off your reaction to the hunt to merge with your soul and sends you back into your body. The tether is also were you draw the energy from to gain that extra 100lbs or so and strength. As you live your life, you and the spirit beast share experiences and instincts, then when you die the beast absorbs your soul, adding your experiences to its collective conscious of everyone that hosted it before you, bringing it closer to the ultimate goal of becoming the apex predator. 

    2. How is the mortal body of the Dragonborn capable of absorbing so many immensely powerful dragon souls without frying or exploding or something? One thought I had is that the Dragonborn is actually just a conduit sending the souls back to Akatosh. Another is that it would overload them and be a trial of willpower to contain; and that this was the motivation for Miraak to seek Mora's knowledge. Through Mora, Miraak found a way to contain the dragons he absorbed. Maybe by channeling the void to counter the life dragons represent, or by making a pocket realm prison somewhere deep in the void that he tethered himself to. Dragons were only an issue for the first and last dragonborns, if I remember right.

    Being the Dragonborn basically makes the player a living Azura's Star that only takes dragon souls and uses them to "enchant" him/herself with shouts.

    Hey guys, very new here. Love the Building section. Any way, my major question I guess would it be lore-breaking to assume Mazoga, from the Oblivion Crisis survived, made some sort of name for her self, eventually establishing a Knightly Order in Cyrodil? If so, what parts of Mazoga's personality would have descended down her family tree, do you think? 


    Also, if it could be within lore, how would a Knight of such an Order see thing. All I remember from Mazoga was she wanted to be an honorable Knight. And there after she just hunted Black bows.

  • April 22, 2014
    I wouldn't expect an Order of Mazoga to be as well-known as, say, the Order of the Raven or Order of the Diagna. But I could see her starting her own order all by herself.

    If I recall correctly, she named herself a knight, right? So you could have her start an unofficial knightly order, not caring whether the courts approve the establishing of the order.

    Pride is her most prevalent characteristic, in my opinion.
