Ser Pounce-a-lot brings up a major point. Much of what is written as "Trivia" is and should be considered as "Notes". I was taught that if some detail is linked to another within the Elder Scrolls world, then it should be considered a NOTE. If it is something that is inspired or derived from outside of the Elder Scrolls world, then it is TRIVIA. For example: If there is an apple on the head of a dead body then it might be inspired by William Tell or if there is a sword in a stone or a lady in a lake it might be inspired by Sir Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. This is trivia. On the other hand if it is said that such and such weapon is different than the same named weapon in a different Elder Scrolls game then that would be considered a note. Much of what is called trivia is speculation. Unless it is confirmed by a reliable source at Bethesda, much of what is called trivia is merely fan speculation. Who can say for sure that something was inspired by something else outside of the ES world without actually being the person/s who had the idea? There does need to be rules that govern what is allowed and what is not.
