Banneram: I was under the impression The Real Barenziah "actually happened" in the TES universe. The wiki says it's a biography of Queen Barenziah of Wayrest. "biography" as in story of her life.

I'm not saying you're wrong just that it seems Bethesda forgot a bit of their own lore again.

S Ryan: Why does anyone become soldiers? Every culture both in real life and in the TES life has need of people to fight and kill other people for any number of reasons. To protec their land, to spread their ideals, to gain more land, ect.
