No, we are Tang Mo
The Khajiits of Pelletine have this architecture design for their homes, do you recognize it?
Explain.
akshually, the Nords are the grugs of tamriel.
Ah yes, must be cultural exchange with the faraway Tang Mo of Akavir.
im allergic to cats
Aren't Khajiit basically Roma?
Now that I think about it, yeah, it makes sense for the Tang Mo to be inspired by Southeast Asians since they live on a 'thousand' islands.
But until we actually get to Akavir, you're a southern Khajiit.
That stinks, but the Trans-Niben annexation was inspired by the Croatian-Bosnian costal dispute, and Khajiiti culture is largely Islamic.
No, not at all. I used to think they were Romani, but it's very shallow. They have edited Arabian names (like Ri'saad, which is just Saad without the honorific), Arabian legends like the lightning horse Buraq, and the trade caravans were actually inspired by the Arabian spice trade and the silk road.
Also, cats are revered in our culture, so there's that.
Forgot to post the horse in question, and have a look at the trade routes.

Haven't played Skyrim, who the fuck are the reachmen?
Feral Bretons native to the west side of skyrim
Natives of a region called the Reach. They have a shared ancestry with the Bretons but have a distinct culture, and can be argued to be their own race.
Pic-related is an approximation of the region's size, as it expands beyond Skyrim.
Karl the great is Talos then.
Why is Montenegro in yellow? Shouldnt it be Kosovo?
>everyone is human
>we are a fucking lizzard
Mmmm... i like it because ita different but the implications..
He’s named Talos and Tiber for a reason, despite starting out as a literal who Breton.
I had no idea what to do with it or Serbia, but Montenegro and Albania have clothing I’d imagine would fit the Khajiit of Central and Western Elsweyr.
Take it with pride, the Argonians are an interesting race.
Be thankful that you're not the furries
Skyrim sources say he was a nord. And karl/charlemagne fits, coming from the north and proclaiming himself emperor of a fallen empire and conquering huge amounts of land.
Kek, youre right.
Tiber Septim was a Nord unironically
t. lore nerd
Brazil should be the same as Africa or USA though
UESP regards him as an Unknown Male since, I’m all honesty, Talos is a combination of three men from three different human races, and each of those men represent each of the Guardian birthsigns. Hjalti Early-Beard, despite the Nordic name, was described to have the height and features of an average Breton, and he came from the Alcaire region of High Rock.
The Nordic aspect we get to see so much of him in Skyrim actually belongs to Ysmir Wulfhearth, one of the Nords’ biggest heroes and the 2nd aspect of Talos, but Nords pray to him while assuming he’s Tiber Septim.
You’re falling for the propaganda that Hjalti made for himself.
Black Marsh is known for rainforests and swamps inspired by the Amazon, and they have tribal cultures similar to the real-life indigenous tribes of South and Central America.
If we are talking about aspects then talos is just the rebirth of lorkhan/shor anyway as god of mortal men. Thats why the thalmor are so pissed about him, he stands in direct conflict with their goal to undo creation.
That makes sense.
