[conlangprompts]

idea: how would someone who is a native speaker of your conlang speak your native language (i.e english)? what kind of accent would they have? what kinds of pidgens or creoles would form?

guldan shouldve been farther goth

Gul’dan is more goth leaning. He isn’t a real goth. He wanted to be a prep, but was turned away because he’s a creep, and only dresses goth to spite the preps that rejected him.

the druids of galen

okay so we all know the bretons have jackshit for lore, so recently i’ve been pondering some things, namely wtf the “druids of galen” from arena could be.

bretons are obviously based on celtic cultures, namely the bretons of northern france. and since druids were a big deal to the celts, it seems they’d be a big deal to bretons - bigger than a one-off mention in the first game. 

i like to think that “galen” was probably an elf (either altmer or ayleid, not really sure) who discovered the ways of nature magic (possibly learning it from….spriggans? idk….maybe from ehlnofey?) and taught it to the manmer of highrock in the first era. 

i think balance would be a very important aspect of his teachings, which is why he believes the manmer should be in control of their own affairs, and kick out the elves, despite being one himself. like, he saw the manmer as a balanced combination of the best aspects of mer and men, and perhaps there was prophecy involved, there’s always fuckin prophecy in the elder scrolls.

but, yeah. i imagine the druids of galen were a bunch of bretons who learned nature magic from galen (who learned it from spriggans or something) and helped push for independence against meri and nordic control.

i imagine nature magic to be a lot like what the bosmer are known to do, i.e. controlling plant growth, commanding animals, etc. there might also be some weird earthbone shit going on, perhaps somewhat like tonal architecture, but less refined. like, i think they probably believed that the roots of the eldest trees could touch the earthbones, so by singing and chanting in rituals to the trees they could affect reality at large.

of course this is all speculation since breton lore doesn’t really exist, but dammit they deserve better, so here’s a rambling look at the druids of galen i guess

No but like where would I read this sermon 37 and is it canon

allegedly it’s from eso morrowind, although I don’t know who wrote it. here it is on the imperial library

[pyrlspite]

sermon.....37?

yeah........ not sure how i feel about that

[calebwittebane]

yo ive always had trouble sticking to morrowind (mostly a result of "let's-reroll-a-new-character" syndrome), do you have any suggestions for getting more into/dedicated to a playthrough? i want to be able to play through it like the cool kids :C

:O ! hmmm... frankly its about finding a type of character that suits you the most and is the most satisfying for you to develop. i wouldnt say straight up make an OC or something (although that helps), but becoming immersed in the world through your character and finding the class that suits you the most definitely help. imo its the easiest/smoothest to play a character with a lot of points in endurance who uses spears and heavy/medium armor so that type of character was the one to make me stick to one playthrough
