corthian you finished up with the stuff? or in the middle of doing it?
And yeah i really like the central american with mayan influence thing going on there,Who will these be used by? I can imagine more of the tribal races using this or maybe the tang mo
- Shiver-Tail - 08-20-2009
They are for the Tsaesci. (Haven't I mentioned that in the Wyrm discussion?... *looks up* yes, I have, might wanna check it... there's more useful info on the races and their infulences in that part.)
They will have Meso-American (Warrior) and Egyptian (Priests) elements mixed togather... they blend very well.
Oh yes, The Tsaesci will still use Katanas, ofc.
And I'm curious too!
- Lore_Naga - 08-20-2009
Oh you kind of swayed me in your armory post with that sweet ass tsaesci in a dragon looking armor -__- ,What is happening about the tsaesci because if nothink is done in a month im just going to throw that head of yours(Shiv's) and plant it on corthians body and wahlaa a tsaesci.
Will the mayan looking armor be for tsaesci slaves and slave villages???? Because i dont mean to open a black hole but are people forgetting that the tsaesci brang all the japanese kind of stuff into tamriel(That you can mostly see worn by the blades and also they brought a standard order of simple rules for living,And also they brang the Dragon Armor and also if you look at Cloud Ruler Temple that is definetly Japanesezy in style and thats from the tsaesci ! btw Goblins are tsaesci blood cattle just to remind people,I can only see akaviri humans being slaves)

First: That "head" of mine has more polygons than the Imperial City and can't be used...
Second,
Why Meso-American?
1) It looks pretty.
2) The way *I* look at it is as follows:
- The messengers and soldiers that were Akavir were HUMANS whith Blades armor. The armor is associated with the blades, who live in cloud ruler temple, which looks JAPANESE too.
- Dragonscale armor doesn't look Japanese at all.
- The Dragons the Tsaesci introduced don't look Japanese at all.
- The Tsaesci homeland (around Ionith) was described as a desert...
- Plus the Tsaesci were known to have "absorbed" humans into their culture.
- The Tsaesci are cruel as hell...
So the way those parts fit together for me was like this:
There are the Tsaesci, who look Meso-American/Egyptian and there are the humans, who look Japanese (like the blades and stuff). The Tsaesci abosrbed these humans into their own culture and made use of their new ideas (Fortress building, etc. which the Tsaesci didn't have)
When the Tsaesci invaded Tamriel, the made the humans lead the invasion (to test their trust, make them kill their own kind, etc.).
And then there's another theory:
Those armor and fortress designs were hundreds and thousands of years ago... why in hell would they still look EXACTLY THE SAME?
This makes no sense, does it?
Look at European architecture 1000 years ago... It's like this:

20 years ago, it was like this:

And now it's turning into this:
http://www.e-architect.co.uk/cambridge/jpgs/modern_house_cambridge_97.jpg
You see connections there?
Anyway, It can always be changed... It was just my idea and people accepted it. So if you wanna change it, go ahead and create a poll.

Hm i really dont get that,Wasnt there a tsaesci who governed tamriel for many years? -__- and read your pm box shiv,
Still it was you who sparked the idea of tsaesci being japanesezy like with that drawing(And probably kodama's input as well)
Still i cant get off the idea of japanesezy tsaesci,I like the idea of mayan structures but mayan outfits i thought would be more for a tribe or somethink,Ok another theory just popped in my head If they are gold skinned(That im guessing they aint its just another myth,I bet there a Sand colour really)Well no dark skinned naga can turn into a "gold" skinned creature(And you might say the dragon essence did it but that makes no sense only a few tsaesci lords got it)So that leads me to the point that they lived in a desert for thousands of years if so where are they going to get the bamboo,Leaves,Wood etc unless they are imported and that is stupid when you could just make metal armor from your own source in the rock,Its just a theory not a argument and Specially not a one sided idea by me,Its things that happen and explained through simple logic.
And well if you are going to continue with this plan at the least put some way of putting mayan and a bit japanesezy together(And i dont just mean kantana's,I mean dragonscale[Like ,not it]armor and maybe a bit of samurai armor,Because well i really liked the original tsaesci ideas and really liked that Tsaesci pic you made Shiv)
I love your drawings above btw very good
