That was maybe two ERA'S ago, not two hundred years ago.
You still find pockets of slavers, it is a trade still ongoing in Elsweyr.
So why is it down to Ulfric to maintain his store if he has the money to save for his inevitable return to Morrowind? The district is fine, it has no problems WHATSOEVER that aren't prevalent in other areas of the city. This is simply a result of some Dunmer having to leave their privileged lives and not willing to adapt to the way things are in Skyrim, the ones who have accepted the truth are thriving.
They're talking about the district, and maintaining the buildings is down to Ulfric, it is his city. They're citizens living under his rule, inside his own city. Outside in the Hold it is a different story, there he and Thanes/nobles own the lands. Actual buildings inside his own city however, are under him.
The ones who have "accepted" are still in the same situation as those you claim haven't.
Nothing to do with a bloody nose, he just knew it was a cowardly and damned dishonourable to remove an entire provinces only means of defending themselves.
No, now you're making a baseless assumption. The reaon given as to why he discharged "invalids" was not willing to abandon the war in Hammerfell.
Hammerfell itself had two of their own military forces, and a third force of desert warriors.
Precisely, it was tactically the best move to protect Cyrodill whilst ignoring the needs of his provinces
Were Cyrodiil to fall completely, the Empire would collapse.
and after he protected Cyrodill the peace treaty further screwed Hammerfell by demanding they hand over territory.
Terriortory that the Dominion was in control of at the time. Generally when you accept peace terms, you maintain control of land you currently control. The Aldmeri Dominion were entrenched within those regions for five years already.
So, the Emperor removes the legions for "the greater good" (lol, funny how the greater good always benefits Cyrodill heh)
Benefits the Imperial City, as is the norm. Doesn't always benefit Cyrodiil as history has shown various problems between the Empire and counties of Cyrodiil.
to defend Cyrodill leaving Hammerfell to their own then after he successfully recaptured Cyrodill, the abandoning of Hammerfell is made even worse by the giving up of her territory in the peace treaty.
He recaptured the Imperial City, Cyrodiil itself still had problems for the next twenty years as Imperial forces slowly regained control. The territory given to the Dominion was what they controlled already.
It's insanely illogical to assume anyone would be fine with such events. If that was the case, I see no reason why Hammerfell would continue as an independent nation.
No one would be fine with it, however, given the situation of the Imperial Army and the status of Cyrodiil it would be highly risky to continue the war without draining Skyrim and High Rock completely to support the war effort. You have to understand that High Rock and Skyrim did not care for Hammerfell's situation, but their own. Hell, they were fine with the Talos ban for a good number of years until recently with Thalmor activity. Asking them to fund a continued campaign with Cyrodiil out of the picture would result in chaos in their lands.
No she doesn't, she blames the Empire for her husband dying in the war. I remember it 100% as when I made the comment I was doing the quest and reading her journal lol. She also states the Stormcloaks are fools for not using her power to defeat the Empire. Ending with something along the lines of "No matter, they will all die".
Twenty-five years I have grieved for my husband, and sought revenge against the Empire for his death. I have researched the magicks to return his spirit to a body and something about the story of Fjori and Holgeir has drawn me here...
I have managed to raise the dead here and use them as laborers to clear the way to the main burial hall. Something about the methods used by the ancient Nords has kept them incredibly well preserved. Would that these Stormcloaks had half their sense. We could have used them to push the elves right off the continent and formed a new state to combat the empire. And now, when I am so close, a war breaks out. The sleeping bear of Skyrim, who would not come to aid us in Hammerfell, awakens now that the Empire has abandoned them as well. They think they know suffering at the hands of the Empire? They know nothing. I would see both the Empire and these sons of Skyrim [sic]into Oblivion myself.
She also shows her true motives.
"They burned his body before I could raise him... it should have been returned to me... You will not stop me from killing those who wage this pointless war!"
There is no point in using her, she's absolutely crazy. People die in war, her anger should be directed at the Dominion. Instead because she could not raise him from he dead, she wants to kill both the Stormcloaks and the Empire.
That would only matter if the racist side of the Stormcloaks was set in stone in their policy's.
Not really, the Dark Elves were largely driven out of Winterhold without any policy. It depends on how the Nords feel.
Yes there is... All the guards, the tavern owner, the Smith's, Captain Lonely-Gale is an admirer and supporter of Ulfric.. His men come from Eastern holds which mean you NEED to apply what happens in Eastern holds to anything you judge the Stormcloaks by.
His guards are quite low in number from dialogue, Captain Lonely-Gale was a merchant so obviously would have dealings with other races. Supporting Ulfric doesn't mean you need to agree with everything.
Not everyone feels that way, but a good number of them do. In Windhelm a large number of the discrimination is more directed towards Dunmer and Argonians. Doesn't mean it has to translate over to Altmer. They're not the focus, and there aren't as many of them.
You can be "Skyrim for the Nords", and not murder, burn and loot.. You will get those who aren't friendly with outsiders, it doesn't mean it has to be full on pitchforks and torches.
You keep looking for an extreme, or want it to be individual case by case.
Okay, we go case by case... A large number of individuals in the Stormcloaks don't like other races, and therefor it is a view many associate with the Stormcloaks. From the Stormcloak supporters themselves, to non-Stormcloak supporters.
We're arguing in a circle here, about the same thing with different wording. The Stormcloaks on the whole are considered this way by non-Stormcloaks due to the general additude of the Stormcloaks.
Explain to me, why do so many other races feel the Stormcloaks are against them and associate predjudice with them?
Why does the question effect the answer lmao? She reacts like that after a simple question, it shows she has some serious inner frustrations and anger towards the Stormcloaks. I'll continue it in the question below, no point repeating myself.
Because you're asking her if she thinks about returning to Cyrodiil due to her race. Given the view those associate with the Stormcloaks, it seems rather normal. Skyrim is her home. Many are angry towards both sides of the war with good reason.
Doesn't matter if you want to narrow it down to Windhelm, the same can be applied to all Eastern holds.
You really don't want me to apply the rest of Ulfric's idiots. Otherwise we can imply that the Stormcloaks are:
A) Anti-Magic.
B) Intolerant of non-Nords.
C) Easily fooled, decieved and out maneuvered.
D) Simple minded.
E) Unable to manage their Holds.
I also explained why, she's loyal to the Empire & she hates Stormcloaks.. Must be an idiot to buy a tonic from someone who shows outright disdain for you and your cause and is loyal to the enemy..
Yes, disdain born from a view that is encouraged by the Stormcloaks.
It matters because the racism apparently matters and everything I point out shows the Stormcloaks have no inherent racism from any place of authority. Boohoo, some Soldiers from a predominantly nationalistic society said a few mean things, they are all evil nazis!!1!1!
What do nazis have to do with this? Racism matters to those it affects. I know the Stormcloaks are not all about it, but there are those who view it as such and it is supported. Doesn't discredit their views or opinions as to who to support. Empire isn't pretty, you get ugliness on both sides.
I think you mean burden, and that actually makes no sense given the context. Tullius isn't talking about race, but the Legion. Why is the Legion in Skyrim "To keep order", they do that every where in the Empire including Cyrodiil. Cyrodiil is a province also, and it to would fall into lawlessness/barbarism without the Legion.
Getting better. Yes, some racism.
A High Rock Guild that builds properties is mocking local craftmanship to try get business. Not exactly a comparison between how the Stormcloaks are viewed.
That isn't racism, that is the intolerance of religion my good man. I'm an atheist, when a Catholic hates on me I don't view it as racism. I could be mistaken in how people view things in this day and age, but I don't see racism in that part.
"I'm here to show Bruma's errant Nords the path to the true faith. They must put aside their heathen gods and worship the Nine."
Not race, but religious views. I bet he'd love the Nords now.,
Realy? Another religious case. Do you even know what racism is?
Racism? Did you actually read any of these or are you just throwing random links at me? Chapel going Imperials and Chapel avoiding Dunmer dodging each other.
Finally, back on track. I absolutely agree, disgusting woman. Notice I don't defend her, I don't need to support the Empire and like everyone in it.
Now we're back to square one. How the hell is this racism, it has nothing to even do with race. Not even once is race even mentioned in the slightest, how do you even draw that conclusion?
People comment about the fact how she seems like a nice girl, and he's considered a thug. That is like calling every parent who didn't like a daughter's boyfriend a racist.
He dislikes a criminal, so it is racist? Or do you mean "Filthy Argonian"? That isn't even slightly racist by Tamriel standards, no calling lizard or scaleback whatever they call argonians in Windhelm.
Even if we consider it racist, it hardly does anything for your argument.
It doesn't need any improvements AT ALL, what it needs is owners who have self respect and the ability to put their own arrogance to one side and pick up a fluffing sweeping brush. Why are you not up in arms about the damage to non Gray-quarter homes?
They do sweep, I've seen them. The quarter does need improvements, the whole section is run down and needs looking at.
Look at the difference between houses outside the Gray-Quarter. They're built better, even the roof of these other houses are better. You have slight damage on various locations, but the district doesn't need any changes. The gray-quarter needs improvements.
Besides, Morrowind was an Imperial province, why is it down to Skyrim and not Cyrodill to sort out the mess?
Cyrodiil would have their share of refugees. The reason it is down to Skyrim is I don't know... They live there? If they lived in a city in Cyrodiil, I would be arguing the exact same against their Count. They live under Ulfric, he is now the Jarl, it comes with the job.
It's not his responsibility to maintain homes and businesses. Why should his resources go towards fixing private property?
Private property? It is his city, his land, his property. He is their landlord so to speak, they pay him. His resources should go to maintaining the city, because that is what his court does.
It is the responsibility of the ruler, otherwise their city doesn't remain a city but a ruin. Your common citizenry cannot afford, nor are even skilled to maintain entire districts. This isn't some far out village where it is easier and cheaper, where folks help their neighbor.
It would take planning, work contracts and the Jarl/stewards approval to make alterations to the city. Go rent under a landlord and start making large scale alterations to the building.
Higher standing by having the monopoly on business in the eastern holds lmao. Rather stupid if you think this is insignificant. Would you view Jews as owning all the businesses in Germany during WW2 as normal? No, so why is it in this case..
Not really a monopoly, if they ran the East Empire Company, sure. Owning a shop in a city that would have hundreds if not maybe a thousand shops? You can open a store, it doesn't mean you have a higher standing. Being a merchant isn't easy, and it all depends if the business does well or not.
Are you comparing the Stormcloaks to Nazis?
Yes, it does mean that.. Why would Ulfric give the monopoly on general goods to Elves? Makes zero sense. Why would supposed racists buy from Elves? Makes zero sense.
The monopoly on general goods... Ulfric gave nothing, they went into it themselves. I highly doubt there is only one general trader in Windhelm in lore, it is a port and headquarters of the East Empire Company in Skyrim.
Who says they buy from elves? There is a market, and the other stores are directed at adventurers and travelers. Not the locals. Your local citizen would go to the produce stall, or the inn. They're not forking out money for an enchated amulet or some trinket.
Given Jorleif's dialogue, anything out of the gray-quarter is considered poor quality. Yet they've taken the monoply, Windhelm city of poor quality. Yeah okay, I'll accept that.
Check the Windhelm guard faction, they are Stormcloaks.
... I'm talking about Stormcloak/Imperial specific dialogue. Guard dialogue is the exact same on both sides. Using generic guard dialogue doesn't make sense when others use the exact line word for word.
There is guard dialogue, then there is faction specific.
If you want to use it for the Stormcloaks, then we can use the rest and say the Stormcloak Guards of Windhelm are secretly Imperials!
"The cousin of the Emperor was murdered! In Solitude, at her own damn wedding. Not a chance we would have let that happen here."
"The Emperor of Skyrim. Dead. These are dark times my friend - dark times indeed..."
The one who works for the Nords can afford to eat, the other belittles him for working for Nords, that's where the reply comes from that "At least I can afford to eat", it implies some would rather go hungry than work for a smelly Nord.
Besides, that's the same self run business owner you keep demanding Ulfric maintains his business. The hell?
You just said he has a higher standing and they own a monoply, yet he can't afford to eat? No that isn't the same self run business owner, you're confusing elves now. The one who belittles them runs a stall in the market district.
You're mixing up arguments here, so... The hell?
No, in this context they are not two different things at all. Him killing the boy-king and being branded a murderer for it is what gave him the most support, this is because in the eyes of basically everybody, it was a fair and legal action (This is how he managed to "escape" the capital of Skyrim after "murdering" the King).
Yes they are. There are Nords who worship quietly, it isn't dishonorable. You stated it was considered dishonorable to worship quietly. That isn't true at all, now you're on about the ban. That is completely different and it isn't the same context.
It's a view shared by many Nords, not just Stormcloaks. But it's only a bad thing if a Stormcloak says it.
No one is saying that. Just the other guys saying it aren't trying to rule the province?
Yes it does, I think Skyrim's big enough for everyone and I'm a Stormcloak. You said yourself the player responses should be taken the most serious. Why not in this context?
Because the faction doesn't relate to your choice. That is your character's view about "Skyrim for the Nords" which is related to the Stormcloaks via the response from Brunwulf not you. Your character considers "Skyrim for the Nords" a racist, anti-outsider view.
Your own personal choice does not matter beyond that dialogue. The dialogue is the same if you're Imperial, Stormcloak, Dark Brotherhood, Mage, Thief etc. It is the meaning for "Skyrim for the Nords".
This part of the debate is over, it was in relation to your statement
"Going back to the "For the Nords" thing, I don't really think that means screw everybody else but rather screw the Elves and screw the Empire for treating Skyrim like a play thing."
Unless you think the guards have supernatural foresight, then they have absolutely no idea he's a criminal else he'd be sharing the headsman block with Rogviir.
"Ain't got one. But I'd fancy a chance at that Jaree-Ra's scrawny neck. Filthy Argonian never would have set foot in this city, if High King Torygg was still alive. I can tell you that."
Nothing to even remotely suggest they have any idea he's a criminal.
They're not stupid, they have an idea and a suspicion but they can't prove it.
"Captain Aldis can't prove it, but that Argonian is up to no good."
Not having evidence =/= not having an idea.
If Stormcloaks hate /ArgonianDunmer then how do they own businesses, property and the like in Stormcloak holds? Your reply is my reply for this question, seeing as it's the same scenario.
Yes, completely same scenario. "I don't like you" vs "Your race is banned from the city".
"If Stormcloaks hate/ArgonianDunmer then how do they own businesses, property and the like in Stormcloak holds"
1) Property is controlled by the Jarl.
2) Anyone can start a business.
3) Not everyone is a Stormcloak, even in the East.
How well your business does depends on your customers, you could own a shop in Windhelm and get by without Stormcloaks buying from you, because other locals will. A Third of the city in Windhelm are dark elves, a dark elf store will have business from them.
The war affects each business differently, depending on location etc.
The Empire is hardly welcomed anywhere, it was a might makes right Empire that served the interested of merchants and not much else.
It is welcomed in quite a few areas. While the Empire did great for merchants, it also provided stability. How it maintained stability morally is another debate in itself, but the result was the same.
A good read, but that relates to the control of Morrowind and Black Marsh. Both of which were argued as in that book, not worth the expense as say Skyrim or High Rock which provided prosperity.
Morrowind was a plops hole that was good for ebony, study of dwemer and protection against an Akaviri invasion. Black Marsh came with it and was mostly used as a prison of the worst in the Empire.
Skyrim is a lot more valuable than Morrowind in terms of economical gain, and security.
So by your logic those who are outsmarted by greater minds are simply stupid? lol..
No, I never said that. However, Tullius managed to get a large enough force unnoticed through Eastmarch and capture the leader of the rebellion. That is a bit more than outsmart, the military ability needed to do such a thing, while the Thalmor were running interference and avoiding Ulfric's patrols is quite a feat.
Bollocks, they have access to the largest port In Skyrim.. Does the Empire not have any ships or something?
They have ships, but you'd need to take a lot away from the real threat. How many ships do you think would be needed to transport a Legion or two? You also have weather to consider, and the sea around Skyrim is dangerous in the best of times. Ain't the Sea of Ghosts for nothing.
They're wasting a large portion of their military by the very actions they take regarding Skyrim. The more and more they continue, the more and more people will sympathise with Ulfric.
The more it continues, the more people hate both sides. Both the Legion and Stormcloaks are consuming the resources and manpower of Skyrim.
I mean come on, you only need to listen to most of the important people in Solitude to realise the Empire is taking the absolute piss out of them lmao.
Fighting a war, you hear the dialogue about struggles due to the war in many of the Holds. On both sides.
Using supplies, taking guards from Solitude, refusing meetings with Elisif etc etc
Both eat up supplies, it is hardly surprising. Guards are taken from all Holds.
Skyrim is simply a supply depot the Empire can't afford to lose, so instead of "the greater good" the Empire bangs on about every second, they continue trying to rule a province where half the people don't want you, and the other half simply have nothing but contempt for you and your tactics.
Actually, the Court is quite pro-Imperial. While they may not like having to pay the price of the war, it is the same all across Skyrim. Both sides have their grumble about the resources it is taking to fight.
He didn't declare war against the Western holds as is proven by the quests lol, they just weren't on his side..
The uprising wasn't violence which is proven by the events of the duel its self. Ulfric walked in, challenged him, killed him, walked out. Nobody stopped him because what took place was 100% legal and was accepted by the HIGH KING OF SKYRIM. Then in comes Imperial delegates demanding an answer as to why their puppet king was killed, cue the execution of Rogviir.
Imperial delegates? Source.
"Roggvir. He opened a gate and they executed him for it. He opened a gate and the wrong man rode out of it. If that man hadn't been Ulfric Stormcloak. If Ulfric hadn't killed High King Torygg... But it was Ulfric. And he did kill the High King, in honorable combat. My brother refused to allow the the [
sic]
Imperials to take revenge for the deed. So now he's dead."
"Roggvir. You helped Ulfric Stormcloak escape this city after he murdered High King Torygg. By opening that gate for Ulfric you betrayed the people of Solitude."
Odd seems to suggest like they were going after him.
High King Torygg ruled Skyrim. It was part of the Empire, but it was under his rule. He accepted the duel with Ulfric, and thereby negated any law regarding the murder of either combatant.
Law doesn't work like that in the Empire.
Any act against (whether directly or indirectly, or any nonaction which results in circumstances, directly or indirectly, against) a allegiated sovereign or by a vassal to a liege, resulting (or what a reasonable person would assume would result) in physical, emotional, mental, or magical harm or injury in said sovereign or liege. The punishment for this crime will be death. - High Treason, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Legal_Basics
Sure, it was an ancient custom, but the ruling party not only acknowledged it, but accepted it as well. That makes it law.
No it doesn't. Tradition =/= Law.
Please, enlighten me as to what should have taken place if Torygg managed to kill Ulfric, would Tullius have beheaded Torygg for breaking the law and murdering a Jarl? No, of course not.
If Ulfric represented the Emperor, absolutely. High Treason is death regardless of rank, even an Elder Council member was given summary execution.
Though no, Torygg would not die for killing Ulfric. At least I don't believe so, it would depend on what the aftermath was. The Empire doesn't like it when rulers infight.
Funny how the "greater good" (Imperial words) always ends up with the Empire somehow benefiting in one way or another.
I don't think I have ever seen the Imperials use "Greater good" I do hear them say "For the Empire".
Yes, it is funny how an organization seeks to benefit itself. Like how a country or corporation does things to benefit themselves. Like how you as a person does stuff to your benefit majority of the time (I assume).
No they weren't. They were convinced primarily because of who and what he was.. The Greybeards named him Dragon of the North and King of the Nord. Ysmir, A GOD THEY WORSHIP. To suggest otherwise is naive.
Yet they fought against him, well after being named such. You do know that no one outside the Greybeards know what the Greybeards talk about right? Tiber took that title when he crowned himself Emperor. Ysmir is not King of the Nord, it is a Nord word for King. High King is King of the Nords, Ysmir is a grand title and it was a smart move to take it. But it doesn't mean the Nords suddenly bowed down and followed for no reason.
You say they were convinced because of Ysmir, yet you're not really showing me much besides your own assumption.
1) Nords fought against Tiber, and surrendered.
2) Many Nords were seduced by promises of wealth and glory.
3) Where is your source.
They occupied that land, it's much different than integrating it as Tiber Septim did.
Morrowind was held as a Military dictatorship for decades, even hundreds of years after his death Morrowind wasn't completely an Imperial province.
The Nords conquered using Nords and the Empire ended with the internal struggle of the Nords. The Empire of Cyrodill was better in the sense it was multicultural and integrated the lands they conquered, not just conquering them to rule themselves.
Tiber used fear and his Colovian officers to quell any sort of revolt. His men were quite ruthless, and not this multicultural loving crap you see now.
Great example for Imperial incompetence. Starting a Civil War(Yes they did start it) with a province that provides much of your manpower moments before starting another war.
They didn't start it, Ulfric did. The Holds were skirimishing for years. They reacted to it when Torygg was killed, and the region became unstable.
You're not making sense here, they started with a province? The Empire is not at war with a province.
Stormcloaks =/= Nords/Skyrim.
Outbreaks that were caused by incompetence, stop acting like it wasn't avoidable.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Cicero's_Journal
Incompetence? Loss of order in the aftermath of the Great War for many years. What was avoidable? Can you explain your argument here, because from what I see that journal is giving my argument strength... The Empire faced internal problems after the Great War.
Wayrest falls to corsairs. Bravil erupts into violence.
Cheydinhal has erupted into violence and chaos, like so many other cities before it.
It's not the PC when it applies to each and every NPC. I could understand if only the player had a resistance to cold, or a magicka boost, but that is simply not the case.
This is a gameplay mechanic. PC, NPCs, stats etc.
Has absolutely zero bearing on the stone cold fact in the lore than Nords resist cold better than other races. There's a reason the Nedes migrated south from Skyrim to Cyrodill, because they couldn't handle it, being from Atmora when Atmora was green and warm.
"You notice all the Nords around here? It's partly because Nords like ships and sailing. Mostly, we're sick of freezing our asses off in Skyrim."
You have a source for this? Read the novels, read books in-game. Show me how many times these gameplay mechanics come into play.
The living Tamriel in lore, acts very different to game mechanics.
And apart from him, the better ones and the current best are Elven, namely Altmer.
No. The best Conjurer in Skyrim is a Redguard. One of the best Alterationists in Tamriel is currently a Nord. Being great at magic, requires study and dedication.
They are naturally better at it than an Altmer or an Argonian.
Source? You were just contradicted by a Bosmer.
No it doesn't, it's a fact of the series. "Orcs in heavy armor make up some of the finest warriors in the Legion" Bethesda is canon, what they write is canon, not what you decide is canon, C0DA.
Absolutely, in a generalization Orcs do make up some of the best front line troops. Very tough lifestyle and way of life in those mountain kingdoms. They still have to train, and Legion training perfects them into the best fighting soldiers they can be.
The Legion doesn't divide units up on race, on by racial bonus or generalization. Many races would face these generalizations, and looked upon as a stereotype just as in our world.
Doesn't matter what else they produce, they produce the BEST spell swords because of what they are and what they naturally excel in. Why are you just completely ignoring what is set in stone when it comes to the races of Tamriel
?
Show me these Dunmer spell swords. Having a stereotype doesn't mean they're the best, or even all suited for something.
I'm not ignoring anything, I'm just pointing out that no one is born naturally good at anything in Tamriel. The only exception is magic, which not everyone is able to use easily.
They aren't game play mechanics ffs. Their descriptions are inscribed in the bloody lore. Nords resist cold, Dunmer resist fire, Dunmer are better spellswords, Bosmer are the best archers, Nords are hardy warriors, Altmer are naturally magical...
Gameplay mechanics, and racial generalization. From a gameplay standpoint, yes, each race has their bonus and suited areas. Why? Because it is a game and makes each race different when creating classes. If you want to argue the game, then sure, you're right. Arguing the living world, is very different. The "stone cold" lore you speak of, changes from game to game.
If you want to narrow it all down to race bonus, gameplay stats etc. Okay, but don't expect the rest of lore to make sense to your limitation. No where in lore does the Legion, or any race do things due to their racial in-game bonus.
No, they're there because they're part of what makes up Nirn.
Then why are Imperials heavy armor bonus? Lore states light infantry... Why are Nords light infantry, lore stated they were heavy armor last game!
Altmer were weak to magic previously, now they're not? Explain this in lore please. Nords have a low intelligence stat, are they simple minded?
I'm sure they equip Altmer in heavy armour and shields then tell them to fight on the front line in Skyrim.
If your unit is sent to Skyrim, yes. You're expected to do whatever the Legion requires of you, if that means going into a swamp or a desert you're going. There isn't this "But, I'm a Nord!" you're a soldier of the Legion that fights all over Tamriel.
They equip you in whatever you're joining, they're not going to put an Altmer in the Shadow Legion if he can't cast a spell now, are they? If you join as a normal soldier, you're trained as that like in any professional military.
The Legion selects candidates on the basis of superior endurance, the soldierly virtue, and trustworthy personality, the citizen's virtue, for service in the Legion is the model for the duties of Imperial citizenship. Troopers are expected to demonstrate mastery of the long blade, the spear, and blunt weapons. Legion troops train with shield and heavy armor, and so must be skilled at blocking and moving in heavy armor. - Ordo Legionis
The same reason they wouldn't use a Khajit legion in Skyrim or Black Marsh. It's common sense, nothing more and nothing less.
Yes, common sense. That is why for Black Marsh they had to redesign their armor for that campaign... But why didn't they instead send the Argonian Legion?!? I know... Because the Legion doesn't work like that.
Hell, Skyrim doesn't make a bit of sense... Redguards, Bretons, Imperials, Altmer, Dunmer Legion soldiers? Damnit Tullius know your lore! What is this "Khajiit" Legion? Does the Empire have nine legions now. One for each race does it?
Volunteers. I know the legion is diverse, you're just claiming it's diverse for the very sake of it and that each race doesn't offer something unique to the Legion.
The Legion is diverse because it draws recruits all over, each race does offer something unique. The race on a whole, not each specific member. Each race that was pulled into the Legion brought their unique ways and methods.
Legates aren't front line soldiers.
Legion Officers get into the thick of it.
Doesn't matter what class they put them as, it is from 2013.
Which goes against past lore which told us the opposite of what you've just said.
To quote yourself.
"Bethesda is canon, what they write is canon, not what you decide is canon, C0DA."
