question on Blacklight City Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
is Blacklight an Imperial City? or is it a Redoran City with Imperial Rule?
like is it totally Imperial (probably built on the ruins of a destroyed Redoran City)...
or a Redoran city with a big Imperial port and fort next to it?

Kukluza and I were wondering, because in a random way we came upon (in our minds) a pretty likely explanation:

Blacklight (Imperial) was built near an already existing Redoran town, probably the capital of the time. Under this new threat the capital was moved south, to Kragenmoor. Then, once Vvardenfell opened to colonization it was moved again, to Ald Ruhn. The Imperials slowly (or quickly Wink ) gained control/influence.

(feel free to smash that to bits and tell me that I have no clue what i'm talking about :D )

Batman has it right. Blacklight took over the Redoran city and razed it. Since there is very little lore concerning the city itself and its history I've followed along a logical path that the imperials needed areas of influence in the province. Firewatch to the east, Ebonheart to the south, and Blacklight to the west.

I'm thinking of some Redoran influence to return as the new villages will be of Redoran design as well as Cormaris View. In Blacklight you will see more orcs as guards to replace the imperial forces.

Nice solution :)
Maybe I can mod some crumbled Redoran walls to give an impression of the "old wall" around the once-Redoran town of Blacklight?

Why not? The Morrowind version had ruins off the NW section of the city so nearby ruins will be placed in again.

I really like this solution. Good job!

It has been quite common in our own history that the invading party completely destroyed places of power or importance and either rebuilt them or built their own place close by.

Personally I don't like this proceeding at all, but I understand (on a rational level) that it is a display of strength and ruthlessness from a strategical point of view.

yeah.... and maybe a few Redoran locals living in homes in and around the ruins, having moved back to the old place.... the ruins of what was once a great Redoran city... and now a great Imperial city....of course leading to some tension...


alright, glad that was cleared up.... although I hope we will see much more Redoran in Redoran territory.... I mean so far most has been Imperial, at least most of the larger places....

Wouldn't they have retreated to Cormaris View though, KuKulzA? I mean, I bet they'd like living in a Redoran town under a kinsman's leadership over staying or going back to the ruins of their homelands. But that also opens up a theoretical idea of having a little refugee camp on the outskirts of Cormaris View. Not sure if Rodan would go for that idea, but it sounded neat to me when I thought of it.

I dunno, I mean I posted this before my Cormaris View idea and at that time Cormaris View as 'officially' hlaalu for some strange reason... TR had a bunch of stuff like that... and some must have stained in TES3 Silgrad Tower and Blacklight
