Lore talk:Veloth

Date of Veloth life and Chimer migration

Hi everyone,

The ESO "lore" is generally incoherent and inconsistent with the rest of the lore, here we have a good example.

According to this article, based in Veloth the Pilgrim and his cyrodiilic author, Veloth led the chimer out of Summmerset in Late-Middle Merethic Era... and after cite According to the contemporary texts so supposedly the author use "old primary sources".

Well... not only The True Nature of Orcs but I'm pretty sure that some more previous (to eso) books contradict this idea. In the Dawn Era article in this wiki you can see this too...

And simply, how many years lasted the High Velothi period (centuries? too much for this "eso lore") if in the Late Meretic Era this period of chimer culture ends, according to Before the Ages of Man? Veloth begin his migration in Late Middle Meretic Era, and the end of a seated, sedentary High Velothi culture ends in Late Meretic Era?

Sorry for my horrible english. I'm improving it.

So there is definitely a contradiction here, but in this case I actually lean a little more towards to ESO perspective (in Veloth the Pilgrim). Other sources tell us that the Aldmeri didn't even live in Tameriel before the Merethic Era, so it hardly makes sense for there to be a dissident movement breaking out from them in the Dawn Era as The True Nature of Orcs claims. So I would place Veloth's life and pilgrimage around the middle of the Merethic, with the High Velothi period lasting at least several centuries. -- Hargrimm^(T) 16:43, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

This is really interesting, but a little out of place discussion, so I will answer you with my perspective of the problems of the general Merethic history, in your discussion page, ok?
