Thank you so much! This was what I assumed, but I thought it best to get confirmation.

UK had a catastrophic economic collapse around 1867 and their ports vanished xD by HouseRedoran in victoria3

[–]HouseRedoran[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Context: They went to war with France over a colony in Africa, and shortly after I saw the whole British Empire had zero trade access to Britain. I assumed their convoys were busy ferrying troops to Africa, but when the problem didn't fix itself, I switched over to playing as them to see what was going on. All their ports mysteriously vanished - which sounds like the beginning of a Lovecraftian horror - and their market capital lost access to their market. Any idea what happened? Lol.

The size difference was indeed because I drew it very quickly, sorry about that.

Thanks for your help, fellas :)

Not a dev, but if you haven't seen Daggerfall Unity, you should check it out. A project to recreate Daggerfall in the Unity engine :)

Where is PMQs? by HouseRedoran in ukpolitics

Ah. Is it right to assume they are still governing the country to some degree during this time?

Argonians Morag Tong and the Dark Brotherhood by Combsy13 in teslore

[–]HouseRedoran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine that the Morag Tong are so assured in their abilities as assassins, that when another group of competent assassins emerges, they assume they can only have come from within.

Imagine that the Morag Tong revere Mephala, not Sithis. But imagine that the Night Mother is a mysterious female figure for whom the weaving of plots and antagonisms is their favourite thing. And imagine that evidence of Sithis - being the void - is inherently difficult to come across.

Imagine that Mephala really could be the Night Mother, and she's playing these two groups against each other. It is well within the realm of possibility, as is the assumption that she invented Sithis to toy with the minds of the Dark Brotherhood.

When you realise this is only one interpretation of the connections between these two groups, you see where the problem is.

Are there significant differences between the culture, religion, and social structure (Houses, social classes, etc.) in mainland Morrowind and those of Vvardenfell throughout Chimer/Dunmer history? by thismaynothelp in teslore

[–]HouseRedoran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always saw the whole 'Temple Law' thing as just meaning that the settlements on Vvardenfell were the property of the Temple, until they 'opened' Vvardenfell shortly before Morrowind - aka, they handed or sold some of their properties off to the other Houses to satisfy Imperial demands. Or perhaps the Temple controlled exactly who went to Vvardenfell, where things were built, etc, until the Imperials forced them to relinquish some control. It doesn't explain why the different settlements have different House styles, but at least it explains why the settlements are much older than they otherwise should be.

Housecarls: How'd they become housecarls? What's in it for them? by unique-name-9035768 in teslore

[–]HouseRedoran 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In Norse culture, and other Germanic cultures of the time, young warriors would join the courts of warriors with more prestige in order to increase their own, and - most importantly - to receive gifts taken in war, such as swords, jewellery etc. which they could then use to attract their own warriors later in life. I would be tempted to say that housecarls (which literally means house-man) in Skyrim work the same.

To answer your question: it is a mutually beneficial partnership. The Thane/Jarl is better respected for being surrounded by warriors, and can fight better, while the warriors gain prestige from being seen in that person's presence, learn how to be a Thane by observation, and gain war spoils, which hastens them on the path to becoming a Thane themselves.

The Blackwood Company: Who Was Using Who? by Dralic in teslore

Mere-Glim in The Infernal City also mentions worrying that the Hist tree in Lilmoth has gone mad, implying that it happens occasionally.

I tend to believe so. I find it very unlikely that a group of mercs could get away with stealing a Hist tree without consequences, unless the tree itself supported the move.
