Khajiit Trophy Hunting
Anonymous
In reality, anyone can tan an animal hide provided that the hide is in
suitable condition. Since Khajiit are nothing more than animals, it
makes sense that they should decorate the halls as trophies of
successful Imperials. While many a seasoned veteran may have a
preserved skull or two, few people have Khajiit tapestries, coats,
blankets, or rugs. The advantage of Khajiit fur is that there is more
to be gained from the slaying of one of these vicious beasts than that
of a simple lion, wolf, or tiger. First, a simpleminded, cruel beast
has been removed from Mundus to go to whatever hellish plane of
Oblivion that spawned it; and second, there is a greater quantity of
fur available.
The hunting of the Khajiit is the most difficult part. Since the beasts
have infiltrated our government due to the misguided direction of
'enlightened thinkers,' they have succeeded in passing laws to prevent
the hunting of their own kind, and because of this the Khajiit must be
hunted clandestinely. It will have to be that way until righteous
Imperials finally realize the danger that they are putting themselves
in by consorting with such animals. Traveling to Elsweyr is dangerous,
and the primitive cats travel in groups, and can be exceptionally
dangerous to the lone hunter.
Nevertheless, once the Khajiit has be dealt with the hide needs to be
removed immediately and cooled. Remaining flesh and fat need to be
removed as well, to ensure the hide's quality. To cool, place the hide
in the shade, lying flat. Upon cooling, you need to cover it with a
substantial quantity of salt. Use several pounds if necessary, as
putting an insufficient amount can damage the hide. Keep the hide
somewhere flat for some time and observe whether or not the salt draws
any liquid from the skin. If it does, more salt may need to be added to
replace the dissolved salts. It may take days to weeks, so it?s best to
have returned to civilization so that the process can be undisturbed.
Once this time has passed, prepare some water, more salt, and a stiff
brush. The skin now needs to be soaked for several hours. This soaking
process is essential for removing the foul odour of the beast, as no
virtuous person should have to contend with such a stench. After
soaking, and with some difficulty, you should be able to peel off the
hides inner skin. Put the hide back in the water, and mix the water
around. If the water appears dirty, change it. Finally, the wet hide
can be removed from the water and placed on the stretching rack, a
place where the Khajiit should have been to begin with. Place only
slight tension on the skin and allow to dry. Once the hide has dried,
remove it from the rack and go over the skin with a stiff brush, to
soften the skin and lighten the color. Once that has been completed,
the hide is ready for use and can be taken to a tailor to prepare into
whatever form you desire.
That?s all that is needed to decorate your house with valuable,
beautiful Khajiit skins, and help the good people of the Empire while
doing it. In the spring, look for the new volume on the use of Argonian
skin, once the trip to Black Marsh is over. Good hunting!

Veny nice , we should let the khajiit ambushers have the item khajiit
pelt in their inventory .Maybe we could also make armor crafted out of
khajiit. If I remember correcctly the inca's/maya's/aztecs made armor
out of jaguar pelts .

We got Khajiit armor, and the idea to let the teeth be removable. It
will be used as part of a guild. Some sort of anti-Khajiit/deathsquad,
the ones were part of the DB. Check the Guilds topic and Armor topic in
concept art.

Very very nice!
Your bit on salting the hides reminds me that we will probably need a book on meat preservation amongst the Bosmer.

You got a really got point. I haven't thought of it. If they eat the
dead, so would the player. I don't know if we should... On the other
hand, getting more evil then the DB

I'm sure I read somewhere that once enemies are dead the killer can
draft in his family and friends to help with the clean up. Hunting of
deer and game I would imagine does not follow the same rule as in one
can hawk the meat and hides to local markets etc? I thought the Bosmer
eat only their enemies and comrades within three days of their death -
does this apply to hunted enemies then?
If not then I think the Bosmer would have some text on keeping the
meat. The Bosmer reaction to not eating kills and fallen friends could
be one of dishonour?

I thought eating of enemies/friends within three days only applied to
men and mer, not to animals. And I think we should apply this to the
Assasin Guild, maybe enemies of the quests will spawn a heart when
killed and to save time the assasin only eats the heart? And in the
beginning the player has a choice after his first hit, to eat or not to
eat. Not eating will mean lower liking by other guild members and no
bonus?

Perhaps for the AG a dislike from some of the sterner (older?) members
for not consuming your kills but then it all seems slightly trivial
whether or not a Bosmer player would eat a dead person. I cant see any
serious repercussions coming from not eating your kills to be honest
and in the AG leaving the body to show the 'hit' has taken place may
lead to some instances were its compulsary not to eat your targets.
Is it technically possible to 'dispose of a corpse' in Oblivion anyway?

I wonder would another Bosmer eat the victim if the one that killed it
didn't? Are there any specific rules on how this all works? If not,
this is the perfect time for a book

Over here it's 18+ After that age it doesn't really mater. Although it
shouldn't be something over the top, I will not put it in the mod if we
make it so (because there a lot of ways we can go about this).

We're just figuring out which to pick. I personally wouldn't have
something against eating the heart, nor would I have something against
not eating at all.
