First point: although there is evidence that the original Homo Sapien originated in Africa, there is no evidence supporting any specific skin tone. Also, it is likely that the skin tones and phenotypes in Asians and Europeans were influenced by Homo Sapien Neaderthalis (Everyone who isn't from Sub Saharan Africa, if I'm not mistaken, has roughly 8% Neaderthal blood.)

Also; you fail to notice that the men of Rhun and Harad were different races in Tolkien's world; Haradaic people were analogous to Semitic people and the Easterlings were supposed to be analogous to Mongolians.

Next, Akavir is to the East of Tamriel, closest to Morrowind, so why High Rock?

Again, multiple races in Akavir already described.

Your stats are COMPLETELY op. Should be five skills changed at the most, with at the most one +10 and a bunch of +5s.

Aye, i vastly apologise. I was in heat of the moment of a discussion and my knowledge of elder scrolls lore, LOTR lore does not extend far, so i was hoping i was not wrong.

Sorry, but anyways. I did not actually read the books of LOTR, i do own them but never got to reading them. Just a habit, so my knowledge only comes from the extended editions of the movies and the interviews. Elder scroll knowledge did come from the games, wiki and books (Yes in game books are actually better, idk why).

I said high rock because a plot invasion as the Akavir has done high rock before and it be cool for a breton based game vs a new race, But i prefer Hammerfell first (I would really really like a rebellion against the thalmor)

My stats are OP? Yes i kind of knew that, but i didn't know how to put it quite right. (Explains bad spelling), but my basic ideal that the Akavir would have a strong combat skill set relating to Archery, Light handed weapons, light armour, bit of stealth and small smithing perk set. Like the nords skillset (Different but i mean their relations to combat and smithing).

Aye i must of shown in my words that the modern or the ancestors of Africian tribes were the forerunners, i did mean the homo erectus and neanderthalensis. They are not fully black skinned and phenotypes like the Africian. But i meant seeing the ancient homos, they were a bit dark skinned only with a small white overlay. And all humans oringanited from Africia was what i meant too. And that are genetic diversity today is caused by mutations and traits.

Studies show the weather/envoirment is a proof of general concept in this evolutionary standard, the monologians are dark skinned, slanted eyes due to a rougher envioment. Taller bodies radiaite heat more effectivery in heater climaites hence modern humans and future ones aka the Cro magon and homo sapiens being taller against ancestor. A white skin colour and general genetics (no racist intended in this comment, I'm asian but light skinned) is most likely ineffective generally towards all types of envioment. (I mean all at once)

(I really sound racist but no offense to any culture, i hate that sort of thing)

Sunburn easier, more body fat (I mean more, you know muscle and build up compared easterners, asians and Africians), and getting cold easier. A aboriginal can surivive in hot sun and harsh colds due to genetics (generally). Natrually (Doesn't matter anymore, we are accepting modern race and we got clothing and technology plus medince to help) a white skin wouldn't be the forerunner of oringial colour and the great apes and many homos before Cro Magon (The early Homo spaiens would have be dark skinned due to Africia) were dark skinned. As proof, body hair (Which links with dark skin back then), climaite and a small set of Dna.

ANYWAYS, yes there is no singular culture responsible for forerunning. But generally, our homo forerunners were more dark skinned and. What that's i meant, dark skin was the oringinal colour and there is general proof to back it up. (I could still be wrong and you are more knowledgeable than me, i accept that).

Yes the Akavir is multiple races but generally. I would see them being somewhat a asian and Causasian mix generally. And Morrowind be nice and it is more true to attack there. But in my mind, i was prefering the Akavir to attack High Rock, because 1. Morrowind is already done 2. I want a high rock. 3. Akabir already invaded HIgh Rock, maybe this is their target of voting from all the providences. (In my head don't worry)

Again, i accept you are more knowledgeable than me, so i await a reply, to correct mistakes. I need a good discussing.
