The Legacy of Tolkien in Elder Scrolls

The core story has not really changed um since that pitch document you know there's been subtleties that have changed about the characters but it's kind of what helped be our kind of guiding star throughout this entire like five-year process. All of the natural plants and stuff that you see in the world are endangered and threatened species in North America they're all critically endangered or threatened species so anything that doesn't look magic obviously we have like blue flowers that glow those obviously are not earth-like but yeah everything else was actually inspired by some California plants that I learned about that were only found tuberon mariposa lily.
