For starters, we still use horse-drawn carriages, there's no TV or radio, blacksmithing and jewelry smithing is a common profession, and I thought the device was a magic mirror at first.
[Finn pours himself a little more of the tea, diluting the alcohol even more.]
The civilizations that made those ruins were vast. Very vast.
I mean, we have magic and potions in place of medicine, and magic can be used to help building construction. Give us a few years, and we could very well invent the magical equivalent of the telephone or moving picture.
Well, it only works for a short while, depending on the strength of the potion. There's also a spell that lets people do that, but so far I haven't found a spell book to learn it.
Argonians don't need a spell or potion to breathe underwater.
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.

What's your world like?

There's ancient ruins everywhere, belonging to different civilizations, all manner of monsters, and of course, non-human races.

That's pretty cool. How come they're so common? I thought ancient ruins were super rare.

Y'know, I have to wonder if societies with magic are more advanced than ones with technology. It's basically the same, right?

Lemme guess-- they're aquatic?

Date: 2018-03-20 09:54 pm (UTC)[Finn takes out his sketchbook, flipping it open.]
They're amphibious lizard people.
[He finds a drawing of one and shows it to Archie.]

What other races do you have back home?

That's right, I'm a Dunmer.
no subject
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.

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?
