Khajiit and Bosmer have a common ancestor IIRC, its just that the Khajiit got bonded with the moons and the Bosmer... did something else that I can't remember.

Y'ffre (sp?) instead. It's why they can't damage plants, are cannibals, and can turn into monsters.

Argonians were created/uplifted by the Hist because, while the Hist may be incredibly intelligent, they are not very mobile.

There are other beastfolk too, like the Sload (slug-men), Imga (gorillas), Dreugh (crab/lobster/octopus-men, and the extinct Lilmothiit (fox-men). There's also the goblinoids (of which the orcs are not part of).

I think there were tribes of Birdfolk once, too, living on the island where the Imperial City is now. Topal the Pilot supposedly bought the place in return for teaching them how to write.

It's unclear what happened to them, but the Niben jungles seem to have been Cave-Khajiit Central, so I'd imagine they were eaten.

Oh, I do hope we get to meet a Sload one day...

Already did in Redguard. N'Gasta can be talked to, even.

Yes, but that was... Redguard. Of all things.

To be frank, I haven't given that game the chance it deserves at all... Perhaps some day.

Well, it won't be the first time, but it'd be a pleasant reunion to meet our slimey friends again sometime.

Elder Scrolls lore as it is today was introduced in Redguard.

I know, I know, but it's just... Redguard.

The series has a lot to thank Redguard for. But it's still Redguard. You get a bow and a glance of respectful awe, Redguard. That will have to do.

What's with the hate against Redguard? It's a pretty decent adventure game.

It's not hate, not from my part. I just didn't like it very much, although I haven't really given it a chance in many, many years.

I've just always seen it as the 'odd one out' in the series; neccessary to make it what it is but not very engaging on its own.

Redguard along with Battlespire. They're spinoffs from the main series so I haven't payed them much heed. I should see if I can find a playthrough of them on YouTube.

The spinoffs certainly didin't get as much attention as they should. I actually think they should start happening again.

From my limited knowledge Battlespire is considered to be godawful. No clue about Redguard though.

Lazy Game Reviews said Battlespire was pretty bad, and he gives anything that needs DOSBOX a free 10/10 just for existing.

I'd like more spinoffs too. I'd definitely rather have a TES strategy game than a Hearthstone cash-in.
