Lore talk:Elder Council

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

There are numerous references to the Elder Council and their actions in the past in the text Where were you when the Dragon Broke?. As I lack a sufficient understanding of Elder Scrolls lore to discern what is relevant, and what actually appertains to the Elder Council, I would recommend someone else read it over and submit their findings. --- Booyah boy 12:31, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

Looks good to me :) --Aristeo 15:15, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

Thank you, Aristeo...may I assume then that you will be doing so? --- Booyah boy

Inquiry:

I would like to know what thoughts everyone has on the creation of a General:Elder Council category. I have been unable to find one on the site as is, and having written an article to post herein as content for this page (which I shall shortly), believe it would better suit a general tab than one meted out specifically for Oblivion. Any thoughts?

I just placed the {{Oblivion Trail}} template on top of the page, which put the page under Category:Oblivion. --Aristeo 15:15, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

Wonderful! Thank you, I shall have to learn how to do that... --- Booyah boy 15:23, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

Inquiry II:

Researching the Elder Council has led to my encountering numerous instances of an "Imperial Council" governing in Tamriel with the Emperor; are they - the Imperial and Elder Council's - one and the same? I would appreciate the aid of a loremaster in this.

I think they are the same. --Aristeo 15:15, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

Do you know of any article I could use to confirm such? If so - and I hate to ask this of you, lest it be an inconvenience - might I ask that you add said information (that they are one and the same) to the article?

If you find yourself stretched for time, I'll be happy to do so later on.

Either way, thank you. --- Booyah boy 15:23, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

[edit] Tamriel

Would this page actually be more appropriate as Tamriel:Elder Council? Alot of the new material is of more general interest than just Oblivion, and would seem to belong in the Tamriel namespace. --Nephele 15:35, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

It might be. There is some crossover between games. Ocato was the Imperial Battlemage during the Morrowind time frame. Quillan^Talk 15:41, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

That is precisely what I was asking after in my first inquiry, having noted a General:Elder Council category would more appropriately fit this article, than one specifically focused on Oblivion (Tamriel basically taking the place of a "General" category). --- Booyah boy 01:35, 10 August 2006 (EDT)

I wondered as much. I'll go ahead and do some rearranging, links, etc.: move this page to Lore:Elder Council, but transclude the content back to Oblivion:Elder Council (so you can read this info on the oblivion page, but also any info specific to the game can be added in). --Nephele 01:55, 10 August 2006 (EDT)

Thank you, Nephele, that sounds like the perfect solution. --- Booyah boy 01:58, 10 August 2006 (EDT)
