elder scrolls races compared to real life

The Dunmer, This race is pretty original due to the Tribunal and yeah, Lava. The Redguards, Arabian, The Style of the Redguards is very similar to Arabian and other similarities with this, their architectural styles are practically Indistinguishable, armor and Weapons were similar to the Arabian style.

The Argonians, Aztec, The Argonians clearly are Based off Azteci Tribes in both History and Culture, The Argonians were enslaved by the Dunmer, The Aztecs were enslaved by The Spanish and their architectural styles are practically Indistinguishable, they had alot of Similarities.

The Nords, German, whilst I hear you typing that 'Nords are clearly Norse' Furiously let me tell you that how many times have you heard of the Nords sailing other than Ysgramor and the Companions, No, I thought so, The Germans were pale and had Blonde hair and mainly lived on land, all of these Facts align with the Nords perfectly, I hear you typing 'Thats not good enough Evidence' ok then, but the Nords don't have much more than I would like.

Imperial, Roman/British, The Imperials were one of the First to unite Tamriel and were very prestigious with Settlements off the coasts of Tamriel, the Romans were the First to unite most of Europe and had similar Tactics and Armies, the Brits settled all across the World, including the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and Africa, The Imperials had alot of Colonies in several Islands including Ynslea Isles, Roscrea and Akavir, The Imperials had similar advancements similar to both British and Roman Empires. This Post may be offensive to those of the Races listed, both in ES and real-life.Īltmer, French, The Altmer have always been a Snobby Race and with their Empire (If you consider the Empire now part of the Altmer Empire) these Coincidences are most like the French than everything, The French once had an Empire under Napoleon's Rule, same with how long the Altmer had rule in the Merethic era (Alinor to Valenwood to High Rock), The French were very snobby and so were the Altmer.

As we all know, the Races of Nirn are a Vary diverse set, but what were there inspired by and from, today I will be putting together their History and Culture to their real-world inspirations.
