[edit] The Serpent- an Ophiuchus reference?

Does anybody think that the Serpent Birthsign is based on the Starsign of Ophiuchus [1]? Since it is the 13th birthsign and the sign of Ophiuchus is the 13th zodiac symbol I thought there could be a link. Also the sign of Ophiuchus is apparently a man supporting a serpent- another reference to Tamriels serpent birthsign.--Willyhead 14:59, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Gender Identity?

Okay, I can almost see why the Shadow's referenced as a "her," by looking at the Redguard picture, but the Steed and Thief? Arguable. Can we neutralize the gender on those? Somercy 10:28, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

On the theif, you can see larger breasts than most males would have.....

As for steed, there is no way of telling, so I will make it, "it". 77BeTa77

Personally, I can really tell much of the Redguard pictures (most of them kind of look like dwemner robots or something), and on Morrowinds theif, I can see the resembleance of breasts, however not in Oblivion's version. Actually, I think the constellations aren't supposed to have genders, or rather they represent, in this case, a theif, nothing more, nothing less, or more precisely, all thieves, and the picture is just a representation of the people of those aspects - for example, a lover is more in tune in their feelings, or a lady is strong in aspects that are common in women or considered related to women. Also, I think the Redguard picture for the shadow is a ghost or some kind of spirit, without any sort of resembleance, male or female. --Adoring Fan 22:40, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

Reading a book in a Oblivion, it would seem that bethsda thinks the steed as a female. I have edited it accordingly. 77BeTa77 13:53, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

And I've changed it back. Which book do you mean? –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:12, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Yeah okay. Changed back again. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:34, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] infinite size?

Michael Kirkbride claimes planets and moons are all of infinite size

1. should we mention this?

2. Baan Dar proves this wrong should we mention it? --Diobern 09:52, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Baar Dau doesn't disprove anything.24.31.156.165 13:15, 4 November 2008 (EST)
