Ultimately however, it depends how quickly it killed the people of these races, while the Pocket Guide to the Empire Third Edition – Black Marsh says it ‘quickly spread’ I haven’t found info on how quickly it kills a person I still doubt it would’ve killed off the entirety of these groups in 22 years.Įnd Note – Whether or not you like the idea of the extinct/endangered races (from the Knahaten flu) as future playable races or NPC’s in the game, the disease lasted 40 years and it definitely fits into our current ESO timeline. Lilmothiit (Bipedal Foxes – think Khajiit but with fox features)ĭiseases and viruses usually last a while – think about the Bubonic Plague which began in 1300’s and still killed millions in the early 1900’s (we can thank antibiotics for slowing that one down!)Īnd as for including these races in ESO, while it’s heartbreaking that we all know these races are doomed, the characters in game don’t know that yet, and must be actively fighting and searching for ways to escape these areas or help the afflicted. Which leaves us open to experiencing the stories of its victims and its survivors, including – We are right in the middle of the Khahaten Flu. (Though some might say it is 2E 583 due to The Chronicles of the Five Companions) Pocket Guide to the Empire Third Edition – Black MarshĬurrent ESO Year – Intro cutscene says year (2nd Era) 582 For over forty years it held the Province in its grip, decimating entire cultures (notably, the Kothringi) “ 2E 555 - Princess Ayrenn is born 2E 560 - Knahaten Flu begins, initiated at Stormhold. 6th Century 2E 546 - Jorunn the Skald-King is born. A strain of the Knahaten Flu hits the southern provinces of Tamriel causing many deaths. 2E 560 The Knahaten Flu spreads across Tamriel. One theory of its creation involves an Argonian shaman who created it with help from the Hist. “The plague began in Stormhold in 2E 560, and quickly spread to every corner of Black Marsh, killing all those not of reptilian stock. A Maormer fleet is spotted off the coast of Alinor, Summerset Isles, and Altmer King Hidellith ordered his army to give chase. Ayrenn, the future Queen of Alinor and leader of the Aldmeri Dominion, is born on the 5th of Second Seed to King Hidellith and Kinlady Tuinden of Summerset Isle. The Knahaten Flu was a deadly disease that is believed to have been created in Black Marsh. While this is true, they leave out the fact the disease lasted for over 40 years. I’ve seen so many people on the forums lately dismiss races who where mostly killed by the Knahaten Flu being in game (either as NPC’s or future playable races) simply because the Flu happened “22 years ago”.
