Hey! Piggybacking off the previous ask: I would be desperately curious to hear some of your thoughts on Ash’abah cuisine! I also seem to recall you posting once about how the foods of Craglorn and interior Hammerfell might differentiate from foods along the coast, but I can’t seem to find it. Could potentially be related topics? Most bustling cities in Hammerfell seem to be along the coast, and I don’t imagine they’d want Ash’abah pariah tribes just hanging around, so idk. It’s a thought!

You are correct that the nomadic Ash’abah are primarily at home deeper in the northern Hammerfell deserts. This is partially because of the posher coastal folk making their disdain known to the group, and partially because, in the words of a member of an Ash'abah group I stayed with for a few weeks, they are at home in the desert.

In a similar vein to Ashlanders in Morrowind, Ash'abah cuisine is shaped by the hostile environments they inhabit, and are therefore unique from urban Redguard fare. While trade with wandering merchants is certainly arranged in order to obtain essential ingredients like spices, grains, and oils, it isn't relied on as the backbone of Ash'abah food.

The traditional Ash'abah diet is somewhat restricted due to the scarcity of the Alik'r, yet through generations of shared knowledge, they have learned to harvest the bounty of the sands. Dunerippers; lizards; giant scorpions, snakes, and spiders; wild goats and camels; rodents, and birds like fellrunners all have edible components, if you know how to cook them! Aloe and cactus are also popular, refreshing inclusions in food to make up for the lack of vegetation.

At the end of my time with the Ash'abah, we sought and gained shelter at a johad and shared a feast the night before my departure. Every other person in the group contributed a dish, meaning we had quite a spread! Jerboa grilled in giant wasp honey; cous cous salad with cactus chunks; sand-baked duneripper shank; barbecued lizard skewers; giant snake steaks cooked in black garlic and camel fat; whole fellrunner roasted on a spit with chili goat's butter, and a rich and spicy scorpion tail soup with wheat flatbread were the main dishes on offer. To end the meal, we had a chilled aloe pudding, made with goat's cream, cardamom, giant snake egg, and a good heap of sweetened aloe pulp. ~Talviel

The Time Daggerfall Plagiarized a Japanese History Book

One of the funniest bits of TES trivia for me is that a lot of Redguard History is copy-pasted Sengoku -> Edo Period Japan with the names changed. That’s still apparent in the books the franchise uses, but it started in Daggerfall with straight-up plagiarism. Redguards: Their History and Their Heroes plagiarizes from the translator’s introduction to Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of the Five Rings.

The original:  The traditional rule of the emperors had been overthrown in the twelfth century, and although each succesive emperor remained the figurehead of Japan, his powers were very much reduced. Since that time, Japan had seen almost continuous civil war between the provincial lords, warrior monks and brigands, all fighting each other for land and power. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the lords, called daimyo, built huge stone castles to protect themselves and their lands and castle towns outside the walls began to grow up. These wars naturally restricted the growth of trade and impoverished the whole country.

vs. Redguards: Their History and their Heroes: The traditional rule of emperors had been overthrown in 2012, and although each successive emperor remained the figurehead of the empire, his powers were very much reduced. Since that time, our people saw 300 years of almost continuous civil war between the provincial lords, warrior monks and brigands, all fighting each other for land and power.In the time of Lord Frandar the first Warrior Prince, lords called Yokeda built huge stone castles to protect themselves and their lands, and castle towns outside the walls begin to grow up.

I haven’t checked the rest of that text or any other Daggerfall texts for plagiarism, but it cracks me up how blatant it was. There might be more out there. The text was dropped from the games after Redguard, but ESO brought it back in all its plagiarized glory.

“A sacred flame rises above the fire, The ghosts of great men and women without names, Cities long dead rise and fall in the flame, The Dioscori Song of Revelation, Bursting walls and deathless rock, Fiery sand that heals and destroys, The desert grips our hearts and souls, Its flame within our eyes and ears, Dust cannot die, and we are dust, Windblown, ephemeral, eternal, all.” – Weltan of Sentinel

⟡ Happy Heart's Day/Mara's Day/Sanguine's Summoning Day from Little Book of Tamriel! ⟡

Looking for a detailed cultural breakdown on what the holiday means across Tamriel? Look no further - Sugar and Spice are here to give you the information you need to make sure you dont have a major faux pas with Bretons, a spoiled soiree with the Altmer, or a ruined romp with the Nords!

════════════════════════════════════════════

Altmer society places little importance on the romantic aspect of Heart's Day - public displays of affection are typically frowned upon. Instead, the day focuses on acts dedicated to Mara, as opposed to focusing on one's partner solely. Children are given small sweets, such as sugared nuts and fruits, fresh agricultural produce is a staple for the day's meals, and traditionally, acts of service are performed for the poor, the elderly, and the infirm - although, with the rise of the Thalmor, this tradition has fallen out of favor.

Argonians do not celebrate Heart's Day or Mara's Day, in fact, due to their communal structure there's never been an interest in it - up until the Imperials and Dunmer began entering the region. The only known Argonians who practice religiously and culturally are those who have fully assimilated to foreign cultures such as Breton, Nordic, and Cyrodiillic - with many in Morrowind even converting to celebrate Sanguine's Summoning Day! As the region's culture has gradually shifted due to a slowly rebounding traditionally Argonian population with interspersed dense pockets of foreigners, some Argonians have begun to celebrate a bastardized version of the traditionally Eight-based holiday, instead making the holiday about playing heart-themed games, seeing it as a lucky day to work, and basing entire outfits around reds and gentle pinks.

Bretons, especially the southern Bretons, absolutely adore Heart's Day! Originally introduced by their Imperial ancestors, Heart's Day has morphed into something all about love, love, love! Bretons will save up all year just to purchase the most lavish and expensive gifts for one another - if its not extravagant enough, then the gift-giver is likely to be shunned by acquaintances and even friends, as it is seen as a terrible social blunder. There are multiple feasts, balls, and most marriages happen on Heart’s Day - making it one of the most beloved holidays of the people of High Rock.

Bosmeri culture places a special kind of importance on the holiday, which is commonly known as All-Hearts Day. As with most Bosmeri holidays, they begin their day with a hearty breakfast and alcohol - lots of alcohol! The Bosmer are one of the unique races in that they are forbidden from consuming any plant matter, and rely on a purely meat based diet - additionally, they are one of the last known races to practice cannibalism. This extends into the way they show love... by giving eachother hearts! Any and all relationships will give eachother hearts to consume on All-Hearts Day, feeding the organ to eachother to symbolize their devotion and care for one another.

Dunmer do not celebrate Heart's Day, but rather, celebrate Sanguine's Summoning Day, as the festivals fall on the same dates. Lavish banquets and feasts are held across Morrowind, with almost every Dunmer over the age of majority drinking in excess at these feasts. Many Dunmer find themselves elevated in the ranks of their Houses on this day, depending on what acts of magic or craftsmanship prowess they show off to their tutors - as today is seen as an auspicious day, many schedule their hearings to be on the date!

The first instance of Mara's Day being referred to as Heart's Day comes from an Imperial account. Gifts for romantic partners are carefully considered and vary in price, although a common superstition in Cyrodiil states that if the gift is bought because the price was cheap, the relationship is doomed to fall apart. Handmade trinkets are also a common gift, especially in rural areas, and typically include something belonging to one's partner, such as a lock of hair.

Khajiit do not celebrate Mara's Day. Instead, they have their own festival later in the year dedicated to Nirni, the personification of Nirn. Traditional offerings during this festival include local flowers and herbs, as well as seasonal fish and cicadas.

Nords are the people to party with on Mara's Day - having village and city-wide celebrations. Mara is one of, if not the, most important divine in the Nordic pantheon, and Nords are given the day off from work to reflect this. Children are expected to present their parents with gifts, and this often carries over into adulthood too. Savoury food is nearly impossible to find on Mara's Day, whilst sweetrolls and honey nut treats are abundant. Mara's Day is a particularly auspicious date in the Nordic calendar, marked by rhymes such as:

"The farmer who sews his seeds And the father's child conceived On Mother Mara's blessed day Will reap good fortune along their way"

The Orcs are a very reclusive people, stalwart and rugged - as a result, they have no holidays today, nor do they celebrate Mara's Day or Sanguine's Summoning! Despite efforts to convert the region, Orcs tend to be most similar to Redguards as they would treat today like any other day of the week. Wait until spring, when the Orsinium celebrates with their yearly fertility festival - just be careful, as its not uncommon to find young lovers engaging in various forms of fighting to show off prior to properly celebrating!

Redguards traditionally, like Argonians and Orcs, do not celebrate any form of Mara's Day or Sanguine's Summoning, instead having rejected it and all worship of the Eight during the Great War. Today is just another day for the Redguard - the closest thing to Mara that the Redguard have is Morwha, and her destival is not until later in the year. So, if you're looking for a place that is free from the holiday, try having some goat kebabs in Hammerfell!

Man Overboard!

//click for better quality

Velehk: A duel with the captain, aye? || That armor will weigh you down.

Ego: I’ll take my chances.

Velehk: You shouldn’t tempt fate. || But you could tempt me…

Ego: HUH || Wait— || aAA

Velehk: That’s that, then.

~~~

Upon first arriving on the ship, Ego demands a friendly duel with Velehk, mostly to prove their worth. Velehk kindly informs them that the heavy armor that kept them warm in Skryim will do them no favors on the hot sea. He fakes them out and lets them sink, not realizing that Ego is the Dragonborn. Oops. //don’t worry, Ego is wearing Volsung, which has a waterbreathing enchantment//

Bantha Pineapple Cake

The Feast of the Tiger is a holiday celebrated by the people of the Banthan Jungle of Hammerfell on 14th of Last Seed. As a thanksgiving celebration, desserts are certainly plentiful, like this upside down pineapple cake. Its appearance has lent the cake its nickname: the sweetroll of Hammerfell.

You will need:

2 tbsp butter, melted

3 tbsp sugar

1 can (6) pineapple rings, well-drained

225g butter

225g flour

225g sugar

1 tsp baking powder

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180C/356F.

Whisk the melted butter with the 3 tbsp sugar and use a basting brush to coat the inside of a large bundt tin. Lay your pineapple rings side by side until the tin is fully lined.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until totally combined. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Beat the cake mixture until uniform in texture, it should be rather thick and batter-like. Spoon the cake mixture over the pineapple rings and use a spatula to even out the surface.

Wrap the tin with aluminium foil and bake on the middle shelf for 45 minutes. When the timer's up, leave the cake to rest for about 10-15 minutes before placing a large plate on top and quickly but firmly flipping your bundt tin over. The cake should come out easily.

Leave to cool for a further 10-15 minutes before serving. Great with custard or ice cream!

I've seen Ryce mentioned in a few posts who exactly is he?

Ryce is a Redguard that I have plans to turn into a custom voiced follower. And yes, I do have plans to add a "vanilla only" option for those who don't care for these kind of outfits.

She's a trader who travels the sea who loves a good adventure and will fight with two swords. But she does have some skeletons in her closet that might come back to haunt her and get the Dragonborn involved.

In this chapter, we shift to Amirah's perspective once again as she grapples with her newfound role as a sword singer under the mentorship of Azzan, a seasoned warrior with a mysterious past. As she trains and prepares for battle, Amirah confronts moral dilemmas and faces the consequences of her actions, and also wrestles with her conflicting feelings about Bjorn and his recent actions. This chapter sets the stage for an epic showdown between the Swords of Serenity and the Rising Dawn Syndicate.
