The sapient races of Tamriel can be divided into three categories. There's the races of mer, men, and the beast races.
The races of mer are the elves, made of of Dunmer, Altmer, Bosmer, and Orsimer. Though humans typically call them Dark Elves, High Elves, Wood Elves, and Orcs, respectively.
The races of men are Imperials, Redguards, Nords, and Bretons.
And the two beast races are the aforementioned Argonians, and Khajiit, who are cat people.
The Stormcloaks want to liberate their homeland from the Empire, but they also hate anybody who isn't a Nord and their leader has a very "Nords First" philosophy. Makes me worry how my kind will be treated if their leader does become king of Skyrim.
The Thalmor are Altmer fascists. Thanks to a treaty, they're allowed to run around the Empire with diplomatic immunity, rounding up anybody they want for torture. They believe they're superior to everybody else, and it's pretty obvious that they want to rule all of Tamriel.
It only affects a two mile radius around me. It's mostly useful for when you want to run through someplace with bad weather, or want to see the stars on a cloudy night.
Well, there's a reason for everythin', right? You seem like a good person to have that kinda power, anyway. I mean, unless you're planning to take over the world.

You're... mer, right?
[because the pointy ears, like taako.]

That's right, I'm a Dunmer.

Date: 2018-03-20 11:32 pm (UTC)That's cool. I hope it ain't been too bad here for ya, I know people are stupid about non-humans.
no subject
Date: 2018-03-20 11:46 pm (UTC)So far it hasn't been too bad, save for being mobbed by the natives. It's just a little weird being the only Dunmer in this world.
[He's thankful for Lucien, of course, though it would be nice to have at least one other Dunmer here.]
Before I got imported in, I spent the past year away from home, in a province that generally dislikes my kind.

...Not those people though. Those can eat it.

What about you? Anybody you knew from home here?
no subject
Date: 2018-03-21 01:15 am (UTC)[his expression is telling, that some are gone now.]
Apparently just being here makes people from your world more likely to show up, so. Let's hope for ya, huh?

Date: 2018-03-21 03:31 am (UTC)[Finn refills his cup with schnapps, not even bothering to mix it with tea this time.
This is why Finn likes the Dark Brotherhood. They respect all races, so long as you remain loyal to the family.]
If anyone from either group ends up here, I will personally walk right up to them and give them a point-blank dragon shout.
no subject
Date: 2018-03-21 03:31 pm (UTC)Gimme a call and I'll record it and set it to funny music for ya. [he shakes his head. ah. if only.] What's a dragon shout?
no subject
Date: 2018-03-21 07:21 pm (UTC)[A mer can dream.]
Dragons can warp reality to some effect by shouting in the dragon language. As dragonborn, I can do that too.
no subject
Date: 2018-03-21 07:45 pm (UTC)[he grunts, downing his cup. another one of just schnapps.]
What can you do, then?

Date: 2018-04-01 05:49 am (UTC)[a pause. he goes quiet for a moment, thinking it over while he pours some tea for himself. just like cloud nine, right?]
...Ah, no. Changed my mind. It's messed up.

Date: 2018-04-01 07:00 am (UTC)[he puts the tea cup down gently, before putting his hands on his face and leaning back with a groan.]
That's too much power!!
no subject
Date: 2018-04-01 07:25 am (UTC)No idea why Akatosh would give me this power.
no subject
Date: 2018-04-01 08:41 am (UTC)[he shrugs, then takes the tea again.]

[sip.]
Don't do that.
