User blog comment:Ronlaw/What made chickens so important throughout Skyrim?/@comment-4640959-20120223230023

Here's the story: The Aedra were out to create Nirn and life on it. However, they couldn't decide what to have the people look like. After a few wasted models, including a Kajhit with an Argonian head, a wise old chicken came up from who knows where. This magic chicken molded a Breton from its feed, and the Aedra were so pleased with it, they made it a very important law to never kill chickens. However, right after this happened, the chicken was turned by Molag Bal, and now all chickens carry a horrible Daedric curse.
