Lore talk:House Indoril

[edit] Re-write

Take a look at my re-write of the Lore:House Indoril article, it needs some more eyes to finish. I checked facts to the best of my abilities, within the named resources, TIL and cross-referenced the original wikipedia article. Among other things, a consensus needs to be reached on whether Vivec city is Temple or partially Indoril holdings. Cheers, --Benould^•T•C 17:44, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

I see this article was updated a while ago. I fixed some small errors about Narsis and about Nerevar being the founder of House Indoril.

I also found this image of an Indoril clan member on the old UESP pages. Although it looks like an Ordinator, the picture might be worth adding to this article.

It's also available on the wiki at Image:MW-Concept11.jpg. --Nephele^Talk 16:45, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

I removed the image because it messes up the formatting on the Great Houses and Factions pages where it's transcluded. I left it there on the House Indoril page, so it's still visible here. If you could find a more horizontal image that won't make such a huge "thumb", that might be preferable. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 18:06, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Color

What is Indoril's color? Hlaalu is yellow, Redoran is red, Telvanni is brown, and Dres is gray (according to the link on its page). -- --Mebestien 06:08, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

What page do you mean by "its page"? The House Dres page? The Great Houses page? And which namespace? Morrowind or Lore? - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 11:03, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Sorry. On the House Dres page in Lore is a link to an external website that states that its color is gray. The other three houses are known from their books, I believe. I don't know where to find Indoril's official color. -- --Mebestien 17:30, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

You will also notice, however, that shortly before the link is written, "An exhaustive, but also partly fictional, study on House Dres". I can't say for certain about Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni, but as those are generally considered the three biggest great houses, it is more likely for them to have their own color as it is for House Indoril or House Dres. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 05:06, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Those three are the most significant on Vvardenfell, not on a whole, I think. 'Hhouse color' sounds a little hokey, and more like a preference or minor symbol. (Unless some source explains it explicitly?) Also, IIRC that source tends more towards fanon, as opposed to the analysis articles, which arrive at fan-made conclusions but do not infer or make up any facts. Both types have their own purpose.24.31.156.165 08:19, 10 October 2008 (EDT)Temple-Zero

[edit] Vivec

Where is it suggested that the City of Vivec is an Indoril holding? As far as I can recall, House Indoril has absolutely no holdings on Vvardenfell. The City of Vivec is held by the three Great Houses found on Vvardenfell and the Temple, and is built in the Velothi style. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.188.210.43 (talk • contribs) on December 23, 2008.

I think I see the sentence you mean. The author meant to say that the Indoril protect Temple holdings such as the religious sites in Vivec and the holy city in its entire. Basically just referring to the Ordinators and the majority of Temple members who are likely Indoril-born. As for Indoril having *absolutely* no holdings on Vvardenfell, it's more like they have absolutely no presence in-game, which has come to mean the same thing.74.65.142.202 19:50, 23 December 2008 (EST)
