Elder scrolls races compared to real life

which is basically just an inversion of the usual 'vegan elf' shtick. the bosmer, classic 'nature-close wood elves', though with a slightly different touch by 'green pact'. the altmer, classic 'stuck up elder race sidhe' inspired, as found in many fantasy backgrounds, be it LOTR or D&D.

the Nords being basically pure 'vikings of legend', just with less longships, but just as much axe swinging and mead drinking.

the redguards giving an imperssion of '1001 nights', with a few bits from ancinet egypt burian rites and asian warrior cultures mixed in. the Bretons displaying classic 'medieval fantasy' touch, from dark age arthurian legends to late medieval count dracula. Like Imperials are pretty distinctively influenced by ancient times - imperial rome, mostly, adding a touch of 'mage-patrician/nobility' in the mix. Usually mixing a bit of this, and a bit of that into something new. The Elven races are a bit more 'fantasy' oriented, so they are bit harder to place (IMO):ДЄltmer: imperialists/colonialists > believe themselves superior than those from 'savage lands'Дunmer: unsure about what to compare their culture to.Д«osmer: Also unsure what to compare to > their cannibal tendencies could be compared to different tribes from both Africa and South America, but that's about it - but they do like a good drink, like the NordsДЄll fantasy cultures draw inspiration from the real world, be it history or legends.

Orc/Orsimer: Old Mongolia > like the Djengis Khan era, where the lands were divided into strongholds run by warlords. Khajiit: Gypsy, with a mix of Asian inspired buildings (like Kuala Lumpur) Redguards: Middle East > Persian > older cultures, like the Ottoman EmpireДЄrgonians: Aztec (and other South American Indian cultures) + Native American The cultures of the different races are definitely heavily inspired by real world cultures. Like others have pointed out, I think what OP really means by 'race' is 'culture'. Also a lot of Asian influence in culture. High Elves, Wood Elves: Tolkien High Elves/Wood ElvesДunmer - Architecture very Chinese-like. Khajiit - have a lot of paralells with India/SE AsiaДЄrgonian - yeah, very Mayan in architecture and clothing/armour style Redguards - their architecture is very Middle Eastern/Persian, but culturally also have Asian influenceД«retons - Bretons are real people, a Celtic people living in Britanny, France

Wood Elves - the African tribesman maybe, but also maybe somewhere in central america cause of cannibalismДЇeel free to criticize me, i am open to it Khajiti - the russians? (i am basing off some architecture looks almost a tiny bit like moscow?), so if anyone has better answer say soДЄrgonian - Central American Natives (Aztec, Mayan, etc) 'Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence.'Д«retons - something from europe, maybe france? there's truth to a lot of things we perceive to be just fantasy. it's not all coincidence or just made-up at random by somebody with a great imagination, no. Look at multiple lore sources even dating WAYYY back, and all the movies/games today, like the whole LoTR lore, WoW lore, Elder Scrolls Lore. I'm sure you've heard your fair share of Shape-shifting Reptilians from conspiracy theorists but there's actually a deep truth to that, believe it or not. Many different kind of Elves exist, if not on this planet in a higher density, then on one/some of the billions of Earth-like planets out there.ДЄrgonians? typical Reptilian race representation. If you avoid the 'official' story told to you by mainstream science, history etc and look at Ancient Egypt with an open mind, you'll see so many cat-like humanoid statues and hieroglyphs which mainstream say 'Oh they just wore cat masks and stuff don't worry.' and other nonsense, have actually been around but the suppression of our true history is there for a reason, and I don't need to go into why, those occult's and secret societies aren't around for nothing.

I'm not going to get into it properly due to the fact that the average person thinks they're merely theories and made-up sci-fi bs, etc.ДЄll's I'm going to say is that if you look in the right places, you'll find that there has been a lot of suggestive-evidence and talk of races like the Khajiit, but they're called the 'Kitkarai' or something like that.
