Ruined ancient Velothi settlements

[Axen]

I think we should scatter some ruined Velothi villages across Vvardenfell. Most likely not as dungeons, just so that you can see evidence of this ancient culture... add more detail to the world.

well actually the first settled Chimer/Dunmer lived in such homes.... for example, Vos....
the other towers were isolated strongholds for clans but now are often taken over and haunted, etc.

so I totally agree, maybe have a few here and there, smal Velothi settlements of the 2nd ealiest culture.... Ashlander... then comes Velothi... then comes the different great House styles...

[KuKulzA]

alright, let us get this oprganized..... where could you see Velothi settlements?
Vivec is one... but its in a league of its own....
Vos is another... yeeaaahhhh

okay, so besides Vos.... I'd say maybe one near the Fields of Kummu, I mean that place is ancient and there used to be a farmer there back in the times of the Velothi, perhaps a hamlet there.... I would also say a small one in the West Gash.... the Grazeland has Vos... and maybe there is one in the Azura's Coast? so let me map this out....

I hope you can see it clearly....



now let's name them....
how about...

Sotahnit - west gash
Kummu - ascadian
Vos - grazeland
Anahanu - azura's coast

just some random sounding names... except Kummu cause obviously it is in the fields of Kummu and Vos is already there....



these Velothi will almost be as traditional as ashlanders and have the old style Dunmeric names (ashlander) like those guys in Gnisis who are Velothi descent... but they will be under the rule of the House-territory they are in

I think we should have some ancient RUINED ones too... you know those destroyed houses in the very northwestern area of Vvardenfell (Near the Daedric and Dwemer ruins)? We could make that a small ruined Velothi settlement.

[KuKulzA]

ok, so like Velothi settlements that didn't survive...
like when the Temple came to power and Vvardenfell had formed from the flood, no one but Temple dudes were allowed on it.... so maybe those Ashlanders adn Velothi that remained warred against one another (and against Dagoth) but many of the Velothi were defeated....?

yeah.. i think some nice ruins wud be a nice site... it would add some depth and history to the land... like in the middle of knowwhere . you find slight remains of an old building... or whatnot

[KuKulzA]

yea... I agree..... maybe some motifs from long lost minor houses...

[Axen]

And perhaps some Tribunal monasteries (each being devoted to a single one of the Tribunal, though the ones devoted to Sotha Sil and Almalexia would probably be abandoned or converted), too. Doesn't have much to do with the VELOTHI, but, um...

[Axen]

Perhaps we should have some sunken ones in the Inner Sea? Ones that were destroyed when Vivec drowned the Akaviri invaders. Hell, we should have lots of sunken things.

[KuKulzA]

hmmm

perhaps we should... and having lots of sunken things makes sense...
