Elder Scrolls Novel Discussion

[Grayfox]

We need a discussion on this...

The plot sucks,
A cloud?
another emperor?

I was reading the article on Beth, and I was reading the top, I was thinking- yea, this is awesome

Then I read the bottom- Bethesda what in the heck are you freaking doing.

To be fair, Martin wasn't actually the last Septim.

To be fair, Martin wasn't actually the last Septim.

No? Who was after him, then? (I'm a little rusty in TES IV, so I'm probably forgetting a lot of things.)

[Grayfox]

Yes he was, the line ended.

There is no kind of record of any other Dragon Bloods, no not one.

Empress Katariah (the Dunmer) was killed in Black Marsh by a disenfranchised branch of the Septim family, and apparently there are descendants of Tiber Septim ruling a kingdom in High Rock.

There are definately some Septim families around, many of which have better claims than some of the Septim emperors ever had

[The Ninja]

Oh, yeah there are more Septims, but none are hiers to martin, only distant relatives. Correct? That is what "last of the line" means.

[Ashk. Ashina Zelaku]

Correct. But most Septim emperors haven't been descendants, either, only distant relatives. Only a few have been the sons or grandsons of Tiber Septim. Some had pathetic claims to the throne. This novel isn't going to go against the lore, in theory.

[Hope of Sparta]

Plus, we don't know if Martin porked some chick before he disappeared.

EDIT: Oh, right, you believe me, unlike the n00bs on the official forums
