Lore talk:People N

Numidium

Because the Numidium is, or better was, a machine, not a person, I would propose to move it's entry to the dictionary section.--PLRDLF 22:24, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

Actually, I've moved the information to its own article at Numidium, which seems appropriate given its historical relevance. And I've also listed it in the Bestiary to categorize it appropriately. --Nephele^Talk 16:36, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

N'Gasta

Should everyones favorite Sloady, N'Gasta, have an entry, at least here? Famous Necromancer, and he has the Lore:N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis! book, a follower in Sorkvild the Raven, and features somewhat in Redguard, with Redguard:N'Gasta's Amulet. Again, I know very little, but could do an initial entry, unless there are more qualified minds. What I am asking is, does he deserve his own page? --Benould^•T•C 15:16, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

The Nerevarine

So, the nerevarine is your player from Morrowind?--Arch-Mage Matt 18:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Correct, you become the Nerevarine during the Main Quest. -Dlarsh 18:27, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Natalia Dravarol

I've added a note on her creating a map of Skyrim (the one which comes with the Skyrim CE). Seeing as this isn't technically pre-release material (which is liable to change before release), I don't think it's too early to add it to lorespace. --Legoless 16:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

As the Skyrim cartographer is spelled Nataly, not Natalia, this might not be meant to be the same person? --MortenOSlash 05:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Some anonymous user has already split the entry into one for each spelling now. --MortenOSlash 23:50, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I've merged them again. It's obviously supposed to be the same person. --Legoless 16:33, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I can not deny it is the more plausible explanation, though I do not feel entirely confident on it, but I think you have found a good way to keep a certain focus on the inconsistency in spelling. --MortenOSlash 17:20, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

How are they the same person, when the maps were made 200 years apart? 138.251.236.86 05:51, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Elves are known to live long. The family name seems Dunmer to me. --MortenOSlash 06:16, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Dunmer live to around 130 years of age, although some are known to live to 200, and in the case of Divayth Fyr, 4,000 years. Some Dunmer also use necromantic arts to sustain themselves, as is the case of several Telvanni counclers in Morrowind.--Playerjjjj 19:34, 10 August 2012 (UTC)Playerjjjj

(←) Last time I checked, a 200 year old Dunmer is young. Also their are npcs in Skyrim who said that they lived in Vivec City. They look fine to me. So they can live longer than 130 years, that sounds like it is similar to a 25 year old human.--Br3admax 19:38, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Neloth IS as Neloth WAS

I find it awkward and a little misleading the way the section on Neloth is all in past tense, though he is still alive, as of Dragonborn. I was going to edit it to flow correctly, but I am unfamiliar with the setup of editing this particular page. Can anyone take a look at it and let me know 1) if this is how it is supposed to be for some reason I do not know and 2) what is different about this page that results in it not being editable in the same manner I am used to. If I knew what I was looking at, I would have made the changes myself, but I'm still familiarizing myself with the process. :) Crayolamanic (talk) 03:19, 2 February 2013 (GMT)

To answer the second part of your question, that entry is transcluded from Lore:Neloth, which is what you need to edit to change the information displayed here. — ABCface^◥ 07:16, 2 February 2013 (GMT)

Mortals should always be mentioned in the past tense in lore. —Legoless (talk) 18:30, 2 February 2013 (GMT)

Edited on originating article to reflect all past tense. Is this classified as a minor edit? I didn't mark it as such, considering that while small, it definitely changes the presentation of the subject within the context of the article from current to past. Not sure how that would fall in line. Thanks for the feedback, by the way. :) Scribbles (Crayolamanic (talk)) 09:43, 7 February 2013 (GMT)

Here's the official guideline on "minor" edits. Basically, if it doesn't "fundamentally change the information", it's a minor edit. Different editors have slightly different takes on this, but your edit was fine whether or not it was marked as minor. :) — ABCface^◥ 16:32, 7 February 2013 (GMT)

Provisional dates

More dates of known activity for people previously listed as (?b - ?d) as per this discussion. A few notes:

• Naryu Virian: My approach has been to favour more specific dates where possible, so I've listed her as (fl. 2E 582) even though we have some (broad) information about her birthdate.
• Night Mother: There is so much contradictory evidence about this person/entity/whatever I was unable to settle on any meaningful dating formula.
• Nikulas: See this note about a dating discrepancy regarding Nikulas and his companions.

More letters to follow.--Draugluin (talk) 11:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
