Online talk:Canonreeve Oraneth

Race change

It's obviously a mistake but Oraneth in-game is clearly a Bosmer, not an Altmer. I changed her race for this reason so please no-one change it back without giving a good statement as to why we should prioritise lore over in-game content. -- Idarak (talk) 12:04, 19 November 2019 (GMT)

She looks like an Altmer to me, and there is a line of dialogue: "Canonreeve Oraneth, an Altmer politician, has hired Wood Orc mercenaries to dig up bones buried in the Hollow." In addition, "She believes the Altmer are superior to all races in the ways of magic." I don't see any evidence of her being Bosmer... Jeancey (talk) 17:13, 19 November 2019 (GMT)

Yeah, she is meant to be an Altmer. The quest and lore clearly place her as such. But probably due to laziness or a mistake in ZoS' part she was given a Bosmer model in game. Her features are clearly Bosmer, I played Elden Hollow I just yesterday and got a close-up view to that point. --Idarak (talk) 17:29, 19 November 2019 (GMT)

I looked at several photos, both on the wiki and just googling her name, and she looks like an Altmer in all of them, aside from her eyes. I see no horns or tattoos, and her skin and eyebrows are clearly Altmer. In addition, she's the height of a normal Altmer. I think she's the Altmer model and just black eyes.

Height is irrelevant, seeing as how NPCs vary in size multiple times regardless of race, with bosses and named opponents usually being oversized. You have seniority so I'm not going to keep arguing this, just know I disagree. --Idarak (talk) 17:58, 19 November 2019 (GMT)

Maybe you mixed-up Online:Oraneth with Online:Canonreeve Oraneth? The former being a bosmer found in Deepwoods unrelated to the Canonreeve. Scratch that, you're clearly talking about the one in Elden Hollow. --Ilaro (talk) 18:49, 19 November 2019 (GMT)

Her model is that of a bosmer, but her dialogue implies that she is intended to be an Altmer.Zebendal (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
