User blog comment:Zippertrain85/The reasons why Serana is not from the First Era./@comment-26474238-20130508183427/@comment-9062114-20130508191415

1) I explained how Solitude couldn't have been modernized because no other city in Skyrim has been modernized to that extent. It looks like a Cyordiilic city, that's why I assume it's not old enough to be from the First Era. Just because I don't have 100% solid proof it doesn't mean I'm wrong. I'm just using common sense to figure these things out.

2) Fine, maybe they weren't created byt the Empire. But what were they doing in Skyrim in the First Era? They probably came to Tamriel at the same time the Blades did, which was I believe at the twenty eighth century of the First Era, long after the Alessian Empire is made. So if Serana is from beyond this time she would know what the Empire is, but that would mean the main argument for why she's from the First Era falls apart.

3) Garan Marethi says "I am above the petty squables here, I have lived for far to long to be bothered with them". Implying he's so old material things don't bother phase him very much. Valerica is another example of this. Since Vingalmo knew who Serana was, I could imagine he's the same age, which if she's from the First Era is over 4,000, but Garan is only a fraction of his age, yet he acts like he's older? It doesn't make sense.

4) My clothing argument was not very good, I'll admit that. But my Castle Volkihar argument was legit. Castle Volkihar is far too advanced for Nordic design.

5) What does this have to do with anything? I'll repeat my Dimhallow Crypt argument because I think that's what you're going to refute. I highly doubt all the Nordic ruins are from the time of Dragons. Some of them? Yes. All of them? No. Those are considered some of the most ancient crypts in Skyrim if they are. Like Yngols Barrow, or Ysgramor's Tomb. Not this Dimhallow Crypt.
