Necromancy

Post by Minor Edits »

I've been working on a revamp for the necromancy lore page for about ... jeez, five months now. It's far from done, there are big gaps. The Ayleids' history with necromancy, for example. But any thoughts would be appreciated. Edit - it's posted now

Keep in mind that you may have to sign in to see the most current version of the page. Alternatively, click to edit the page, then click "Show Preview".

In particular, I'm wondering about the Sload's relationship with Mannimarco. It seems like a match made in heaven, but I can't find much info on it. The Third Pocket Guide refers to Manny as the "hero of the Sload", so clearly, they've been planning for Manny to hatch a plot with the slugs for quite some time. ESO's The Order of the Black Worm indicates that Mannimarco's cult was rumored to have established relations with the Sload. So is this going to be future ESO content or what? Anything I'm missing which connects Manny to the Sload?

I don't have ESO. I have access to books, and what little has been added to other lore pages, but I imagine there are important details I'm missing from in-game events. Can anyone point me to any relevant in-game material on necromancy, or better yet, comprehensive video walkthroughs of said material?

For Sloads i believe they are tucked away seeing as they have only appeared in-game in Redguard.I believe Sloads may make another appearance but minor lore as its considered such as the Imga, are tucked away in lore books etc.Relating too new content? Possibly, But maybe not in a major role.If Mannimarco was too have servants(other than the dead) it would be the Sload for the common trait of Necromancy, If you are missing major lore between them i do not know of it having read all(bar a few) books in Oblivion and Skyrim.Sorry if i couldn't provide you with more insight.

There's a lot of things that might possibly be future ESO content. They're keeping that stuff under wraps. I'd personally love to see the Sload appear, and their relationship to King of Worms explained.
Spoiler:
Since he technically "dies" during the main quest
I don't see how they'd work him into an expansion.
Spoiler:
It usually takes him a while to "respawn" after he "dies."
Perhaps in a flashback? Or maybe the Sload will simply talk about him and their reverence for him. We'll see. It depends on how many people continue to pay for the premium version of ESO once it shifts over to Tamriel Unlimited. The more money Zenimax makes, the more likely they'll continue content.

If all else fails, the rumors about TES 6 taking place in Hammerfell would certainly open up the possibility of Sload antagonists, since Thras is pretty close to Hammerfell and the Sload have been known to prey on Redguards for subjects.
Monsters are bred in labyrinths, labyrinths are bred from walls. There is a reason the Giants choose to remain nomadic rather than follow their shield kin the Nords in building permanent settlements. The Tower is the beginning of all walls.
