ALL POSTSWho is the Ebony Warrior?
<p>I seem to think that he is Reymon Ebonarm, from the Yokudan Pantheon. It would make a lot of sense, actually. I really just wanted to create space for speculation to go. They both wear nothing but Ebony and they are both extremely powerful. This last detail is a stretch, but maybe he wants to fight the Dragonborn because of his involvement with several Daedric Princes, which we know Reymon hates.

Being clad in Ebony Armor doesn't make you a God. For example, Ebonarms sword was merged with his arm, the Ebony Warrior doesn't have that. Ebonarm had reddish-blonde hair and a gold-ish beard, the Ebony Warrior doesn't have that. Ebonarm had a golden horse, the Ebony Warrior doesn't have a horse at all. Ebonarm also had blue eyes, the Ebony Warrior has btown ones. Ebonarm also had a <span style="font-weight:normal;line-height:26px;">rose emblazoned ebony shield</span>, the Ebony Warrior does not. <p>It's most likely a reference to him, but it's not Ebonarm himself. </p> </i></div>
<p>I think this is a case of fact vs. legend. Legends tend to get exaggerated with each telling, and Ebonarm may have taken on exaggerated characteristics over time as his fame spread. Also, it's perfectly possible that there is more than one Ebonarm, and after one Ebornarm retires (like the one we fight in Skyrim) a new Ebonarm takes up the mantle, the new Ebornarm possibly having been trained by the predecessor. All this is speculation on my part, but I think it's reasonable speculation given how lore in the Elder Scrolls universe works. </p>

<p>I'm certain the Ebony Warrior is just some adventurer who's become powerful through completing many challenges.
</p><p>Back then, I also took his Race (Redguard) as a hint for TES6's setting.

<p>I definitely think he is that, and I agree that Hammerfell was being strongly hinted as being the next game's setting, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that there is a connection between him and the legend of Raymon Ebonarm. There are certainly a number of similarities between Ebonarm and heroes like the Ebony Warrior. It may be a coincidence, but I don't think it is. I suspect these Ebony heroes relate to a historical figure or Yokudan tradition of the Redguards that has possibly been influenced syncretistically by neighboring Nordic and Breton belief systems since the Redguards' arrival on Tamriel. So the mantle of the Ebony Warrior could be a composite Redguard-Tamrielic legacy. Syncretism of beliefs among cultures is very common with real-life traditions as well, so it would make sense in the E.S. universe too (after all the Imperial Pantheon is already an in-universe example of syncretism between the Ayleid and Nordic Pantheons). The idea of different warrior gods and traditions mixing fits in with the legend of Raymon Ebonarm nicely too, since he's supposed to be a god that prevents unnecessary fighting between different peoples, which probably happened a lot after the Yokudans first colonized Tamriel; like Ebonarm, the Ebony Warrior is syncretic, being a Redguard who is also Nordic by culture or blood or both. </p>

<p>^While true, a connection doesn't make the Ebony Warrior necessarily more than just a powerful mortal adventurer.

<p>@Ifnsman For sure! I don't know why people are making arguments about his "power level" in any case. L.o.l. I'm not sure it's a useful way to figure out anything about him.

<p>He actually could possibly be the mortal incarnation of Frandar Hunding, although Frandar was revealed to be invincible, so the Ebony Warrior could be the same Frandar, although the actions Hunding did were thousands of years ago, yet the Ebony Warrior looks more like he would be in his 40s - 50s

<p>Frandar was ultimately killed by goblins, so I wouldn't say he was "invincible". </p>

<p>I believe he is the Hero of Elder Scrolls 6 and this is his cameo. </p>
