!bookworms !ringbearers a thread on works of fantasy and mythology. Either to discuss plot, characters, motivations or give recommendations if you have them.
Also, as we now have a ping for Tolkien legendarium's fans I would like to mention I'll create one for ASOIAF as TWOW gets closer to publishing, I'll call it asoiafcels, or maybe create the ping this year because we don't know if TWOW will ever get published

Elder Scrolls I think is the golden example of fantasy lore because its so weird and immaterial that it can be applied in almost any way to allow any kind of story to be told. Like with Tolkien's lore you kind of have to write a Good v. Bad adventure story, and with ASOIAF's lore you kind of have to write a epic dark drama. But Elder Scrolls keeps things like magic, theology, and government ambiguous in a way that allows for any kind of story to be told.

in fact there's basically no tes "canon", kirkbride wants it to be open source/ c0da. even within the games, with dragon breaks and vivec's reality retcons, theres no single idea fans must be beholden to
