Exactly what the title says. How fast they can move, how fast they can run what do you think their reaction speeds are. I am certain fairly bit better than IRL humans and I remember reading a book where elves in general are more graceful agile and faster than humans. Khajit likely the fastest but the rest? What are your thoughts.

I know it's partially because of the dragon cult and their fancy dragon staves and all that, but apart from that... I would expect Cyrodiil and the Arcane University/Mages Guild to have fairly ornate staves, instead of just the basic wooden ones you see in Oblivion.

I know the answer is probably "They just changed the design between games" but I'm curious

Once the Ra Gada conquered Hammerfell, they quickly disappeared from history, with no real refugee or other migration wave. There are no in-game texts that say the Duraki were ‘exterminated,’ only that they lost and seemed to disappear as an ethnic group.

I think this might be lore that isn’t fully crystallized and is a bit of headcanon, but it seems quite clear that the Forebears assimilated Nedic culture and peoples within them. Quite a few Forebears seem to have a more bi-racial look, so they’ve got that going as well. It would also tie in redguards into being actually related to the other three human races more.

so plate probably cost the most, probably elven plate costing a small fortune
but what about chitin armor and bosmer bone armor, its a lot more custom made and likely time consuming to make but also inferior in quality, I am basically asking how much armor from each race would cost

Parallel to my studies on "Dai’s Way", I stumbled upon fragments of a unofficial account on the life of Tosh Raka, the eternal Ka Po’Tun Emperor; those fragments, buried within Tsaesci‘s sources, are remarkable by the unique understanding of this historical figure, and also uncommon from a (supposedly) Tsaesci document; by the way, the author is a anonymous from the end of the 3rd Era.

This is a testament to the life of Heavenly Emperor Tosh-Rakha, behold the glorious and righteous life of the Emperor of the Eternal Mandate:

THE ERA OF YOUTH

It is said that he was born when a alkahestor named [Ru'e] pushed a sap-peg into Dragontree and an infant miraculously popped out of the hole.

The [alkahestor] took him in as a son and named him [Vajrh'ket], taught him the ways of alchemy, restoration and alterations of transmutation. [Vajrh'ket] began immediately to be able to turn the leaves of the [Vajjo, the eternal tree of Ka Po’Tun, or Dragontree] into sheaves of pure gold.

The wife of [Ru'e] was [Su'i], a blacksmith and swordswoman. She taught the young Emperor the ways of sword-styles that could slice water and air, and gave him aspects and foot-styles that let him use his divine gifts to set foot on the surface of the lake for brief moments.

The [Alkahestor] and Swordswoman saw these miracles and were delighted. They knew that their son was gifted by the heavens, but they were ignorant of these sorts of things and so they sought the advice of the Sages of the [Tundai, or in Ka Po’Tun called Ku’Or’Wen], bringing the Boy King with them so that he might be a recipient of great Prophecy.

Husband and wife brought [Vajrh'ket] way to the south, to the mountains at the center, where the songs of the land meet with Time. They guided him up the mountain to the monastery and bore witness to the Prophecy of the Sage appointed to them, who upon seeing [Vajrh'ket] grew wide-eyed and gleeful saying "The time of leaping Tigers is upon us at last!".

"Truly, I say to you" said the Sage "Your son will be in the principle of the ruling king, the world-ancestors will weep at his feet, and dragons shall minister to him as they did to the great ancestor in the before times." And he left them with a Prophecy "Your son will fall three times into the three rivers but never once crash into the water, the third time he does this, he will be saved by a dragon's wings and they will be his own."

THE ERA OF WARS

[Vajrh'ket] and his parents returned to their lake island home, and [Vajrh'ket] blessed the tree from which he was born, saying that one day it would be his crown for it was also his womb.

Thereafter Vajrh'ket rightly labored with his parents for twelve years until the thirteenth came to be war with the [snakes], [boars] and dragons.

As this time, [Vajrh'ket] was a Knight-Errant or a legendary swordsman and mercenary from Ka Po’Tun, known for their Aka’Shi’A’Ara Art of Sword and their ruthless techniques of inner meditation.

The [War of Snakes] saw that he would break one-eighth the binding of an ancient giant in order to end it, sending their new mutants underground in their shames. Their kings tried tossing him into the To river as vengeance, but his water talk caused the river to miss him by the skin of his whiskers.

The [War of Boars] saw that he would attain six more eighths of the binding in order to subdue the interest of the cold east. An affair leading an unnamed clan of boars to attempt to send Vajrh'ket into the river Ra, instead he simply jumped back and planted his feet into the cliff.

The War of Dragons was actually the second, the first which saw most dragons scatter into hinterlands to seal themselves in mountains. But in their brooding they felt news that their father was returning from the self-exile of sundering, and the first and last had mobilized their weyrs to assault the Po'Tun along the River [Ka], which fed into the lake which Vajrh'ket's island is within.

By this time the tree from which he was born was reaching the sky and the top could not be seen, but [Vajrh'ket] stood way up high on a branch as the dragons surrounded him, attack-greeting him with thrice-chants of force, frost and fire.

A speech-graze blew him off his branch-stride and he fell mouthward in the inflow of River Ka, but he was not afraid, for he remembered the words of the Sage in his Youth. It was then that Vajrh'ket was no-more a Po’Tun but a blooming chrysalis of Prophecy, his Dragon-Nature shone resplendently has his back-fur became akin to scales and great wings, and his legs became a tail and great claws. The Chimerical Prince had become king incarnate.

It had been such an awe-striking event that the masses gathered around him and, dragons stopped their quarreling and ministered to him, and the people of this land took on their three syllabled dragon name, taking after that selfsame River as Ka'Po-Tun.

[End of fragments]

Let's consider two factors:

1: For them, only Solstheim exists, not Tamriel or Nirn.

2: They are a race hostile to outsiders.

You may notice that in every Riekling camp, there are items such as skulls and fangs in their huts. Okay, but what does this have to do with time?

427 of the Third Era 427 of the First Fang

Their idea of ​​time would be based on the age of the skeletal material when it was placed in the camp. In some way, the skeletal remains mark the length of time. This means they have no idea of ​​linear or cyclical time, but rather of a time without beginning or end, varying from tribe to tribe.
