but i do know a fact that they have a nasty group of fanatic cannibals who called themself the Greenpact living there..... Ok, so I hear what your saying now. Makes sense. I'm mean, in their defense it's not like they kill people just to eat, it's only someone dies, but yeah I hear you, it is strange to be cannibals. Even though it is a strange lifestyle, it is what the Bethesda storytellers have created, and we need to honor the rich storys they create, whether thats  a cool dragonborn dude, or cannabalistic elves.

It'd be like you creating a story you love about a peacful mountain people and then I come along and say "Nah... I think they need to brutes that burn people alive!", well I wouldn't have any right to change your story like that. Same thing with the Elder Scrolls lore. It's a really beautifully crafted world and we can't just change it.

So just an encouragement to make sure we separate "I wish..." from actually stating something as canon. make sure we don't say out wish is an actual fact. Creativity is good though! It's cool to think about what if's. And obviously there are Bosmer living outside Valenwood that don't follow the greenpact (are they cursed???)   :)
