I sorta understand Maormer and Nedes, but Kothringi and Ayleids should have stayed that one mysterious race that we know little about.

I guess we still have the Akaviri races to speculate about. We sorta have an idea about what the Dwemer look from Yagrum, but he had Corpus and he was all deformed and stuff.

Another thing about it is that: Morrowind was a part of the Main Series, and was the game most stacked of lore out of everything. From the really complicated stuff anout Vivec in the Main Questline, to how the Dwemer disappeared, to the ancient lore about Dagoth Ur.

And Morrowind had, in terms of lost races, a Deformed Dwemer, and 4 Chimer, one of which was rotting and decayed. ESO had '''4. '''That's one more than was shown in the entire Main Series, or equal emount, if you cound Umaril as an Ayleid, in which I personally don't, as by that time he was something else entirely.

EDIT: Just realized too, ESO also put in a Chimer, Alamexia. There was already one shown, but still. They barely went over Ayleids, they only had one Ayleid king who was pretty much a commander. The Oblivion DLC Knights of the Nine described a lot more about Ayleids than ESO did.

Maormer are pretty much a foreign race, they have their own system which was shown in ESO, and they didn't show many of them. Nedes are seen almost always in Time Travel with the exception of Lamae Bal.

They had to put in Kothringi. The game takes place when the Khanaten Flu is still around, and they say the Kothringi were almost extinct. The remaining Kothringi are undead or in Drillk's exception immune.

An Akaviri ghost was also in Oblivion. Much of their culture was seen in Skyrim. We know exactly what the Dwemer look like, there are a couple ghosts in Morrowind and a friendly ghost in Tribunal.

Morrowind had a couple Dwemer Ghosts, a deformed Dwemer, 1 Chimer, 1 half-Chimer and 1 deceased Chimer. ESO has a ton of Chimer, most of which are civilians you see via Time Travel. When I said they had Ayleids, I meant they actually showed one. Oblivion had Umaril, but he was more Auroran than Ayleid at that point. I did say up top that I can accept Nedes.

Maormer, I'm still a bit iffy, but I just noticed they have done something similar before with the Sload, in Redguard, another Spin-off. But in Redguard, from what I had read about it, as I have never played it, the only Sload in the game played a bigger part in the story.

For Kothringi, you win.

When I said Akaviri races, I meant the other ones like Kamal and Tsaesci, in which there is still that massive thread going on about if they are serpintine or humanoid.

Whoops, forgot about Dwemer Ghosts. Wow, just looked up a picture, and they look exactly like Dunmer with long beards.

The Alamexia thing wasn't really my argument, because Chimer were already revealed.

By the way, which one is the Half-Chimer, was it Alamexia or Vivec? I haven't played Morrowind in a while, and I'm a but rusty on its lore. Oblivion also had Ayleid statues which showed the general figure of an Ayleid, Ayleids have also been physically described in lore.

The Sload of which you speak, N'Gasta, was introduced alongside his race for the first time in Lore in Redguard, so that sort of changes things.

The Kamal and Tsaesci are a truely mysterious thing, yes. Considering ESO takes place during the time after the Tsaesci empeor's assassination and it has the concept of time travel, there's a possibility of seeing him when the Imperial City is added.

Vivec is half-chimer and half-dunmer
