Yeah, I was talking about the 500 companions.

Alduin's another legend Miraak also but whadaya know?

Turns out they were very much real.

Yeah, that's real life for you.

No elves either, doesn't it just break your heart?

They are push overs, so long as one doesn't believe their lies about themselves.

Dawn magic, closing all oblivion portals and bringing back the Moons etc.

Bah, deceit is all they know. Again, you're using strawman arguments and putting words in my mouth. I never said the legends weren't real, I'm saying they can be very different than how they're told in stories and you shouldn't take a tale as fact.

"They are push overs"

Of course, that's why they were a tough challenge for Tiber Septim, that's why the Blades consider them the greatest threat to humanity and why they nearly brought the Empire to its knees during the Great War. Because they're pushovers. Sure.
