The Temple of Hircine

[Derp53]

Does anybody know where I can find a shrine to Hircine? I've been meaning to leave some offerings at one

[Huntershound]

I don't believe there is one in Skyrim, unless you count the one I made in the trophy room in my Falkreath house.

[Derp53]

I've been thinking of buying a plot of land in Falkreath but I've been to busy to stop by and see Dengeir of Stuhn, that said are there any wild and untamed places I could leave offerings?

[Huntershound]

I really like the Moss Mother Cavern.

I usually don't believe UESPlore, it can only use in-game sources.

"Can only" or choose only? I mean, isn't that what Lore is, primary source material from the universe of the gameworld. Secondary source material is not technically canon until it comes from Bethesda, and even then, some things don't make it into the games from the dev stage for a reason, and thus shouldn't be considered canon because Bethesda has rejected them.

I'll try it next time, and see how it feels

I know, but we can't think outside of the box at the wiki. It limits the "true" lore. In-game is cool, the Imperial Library is better. I'm not just talking about MK, I mean all of it is generally better there. I want to know how to find Blades Swords, I'll go to the wiki. I want to know what a Blades Sword really is, I'll go to the Imperial Library. ES doesn't really have a "canon" because it's a real sandbox, the story just happens.

We have all the books right here at our fingertips.

The IL is more than just books, it has lore writers talking about the books. Explaining them.

Based on thier own interpretations or some other hard source?

[OblivionDuruza]

IL does have a fair amount of content from developers and ex-developers, some of which is essentially canon, although I think some people put too much stock in some fo the more recent content from ex-devs like MK, particularly with regard to the Thalmor argument/debate. That being said, I beg to differ most profusely about the universe not having canon, it's evident from games like Morrowind in particular, that it most certainly does. The amount of Lore contained in both books and in dialogue (text-based of course) in-game is just immense and I'll take such primary source material over anything someone posts in a Forum anyway, even if that someone is a developer or was once a developer. The fact is, those developers wrote everything in the gmae world and everything in the game world is there for a reason, whilst some ideas were cut, for a reason, no matter how much one dev or another might have liked them.

That is a very fair statement. When it comes to the books I look at each one as though it is written by someone who, though they may be a great scholar, was not actually present when older events occurred and can never be absolutly sure. As far as what books get cut versus those that don't I always thought it was a way to keep the information limited and leave many topics open for discussion in a "no one realy knows" sort of way. If any one takes it upon them selves to say "this is how it truely was" it has the potential to be blown apart by information released later that might be in direct opposition.

Glenmoral witch cave, for me i normally go to giant camps however and leave furs, meat, and mammoth tusks in the large stone bowls after i deal with the giants as an offering to hircine.

I always forget about the Glenmoral cave, I'm going to go snoop around in there a bit.

[Hissien]

Hunt well! For as all hircine's followers know we can become prey as soon as we become predator and none know this more than the ancient witches...

[Br3admax]

I fear none, let them come.
