User blog comment:Zippertrain85/The reasons why Serana is not from the First Era./@comment-5558140-20130511041514

the empire was founded in the 1E 405 when the allessian order took control of most of cyrodiil, its safe to assume, which i hate to do because there really are a TON of blanks when it comes to the first era, but its safe to assume that the empire consolidated with the cult of the anscestor moth to begin cataloging the elder scrolls around that time, so serana knowing these things doesnt seem to prove your point. the middle portions of your blog, like i said before, are insignificant details your taking and trying to relate them to larger plot-points, and it really doesn't make a very strong argument. as for their architecture, thats just silly. technological inovation has never translated well in the series. things could have looked the same as they did 4000 years ago. the last part of your blog is the weakest of all. simply saying " i think the writers messed up" is not really disproving someone else's opinion on the writing itself. i can't prove shes from the first era, but i can say you can't prove she isn't. i really think the writers left these things intentionaly vague, either to avoid creating major lore-holes, or to allow players like you and me to speculate on it and formulate our own opinions, probably both.
