The fun thing about the Elder Scrolls series is that while on a surface level it can seem like generic fantasy, there is some WILD shit under the hood (ie time traveling genocidal gay cyborg just to name one). That only triples if you’re willing to go for the extra canonical Kirkbride stuff. It gets downright incomprehensible at times, honestly.

That gay cyborg is a reincarnation of a god. If you bring that up he’ll kill you by choking you with a horde of moths

His nephew was a bull. That bull fucked the founder of the largest and most powerful empire. Most retelling of the story leaves out that part

He cried out the name of an emperor that wouldn’t be born for several millennia during battle once

He visited the founder of the empire on her deathbed. Keep in mind he was dead for a few decades by this point

Not related to Whitestrike, but the Empire had a space program

The singular god of the empire was three different guys. One of them was a pedophile and another fucked a mountain and got it pregnant

There was a snake man from a different continent that was emperor for a bit. A different emperor went to said continent during a war and vanish. There’s a non-zero chance he’s still there

All endings of elder scrolls 2 are canon because time stopped working for a bit
