Falmer make good targets for arrows.

ESO is set before Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim right? Is it also set before Arena and Daggerfall? I would like to see some content relating to the war with the Dwemer as well as more Snow Elves than what Dawnguard gave us.

The timeline still isn't right. Not at all. The Dwemer betrayed the Falmer, and basically lead them to being the mindless beings they are now. But the Dwemer disappeared in 1st Era 700 so it had to be before that. ESO is in 2nd Era 583.

Beyond that the Falmer weren't rediscovered in their dungeons until 3rd Era 427 and didn't become a 'common' sight until the 4th Era.

ESO takes place BEFORE Tiber Septim unified the empire, but AFTER the ancient races all died out.

Sad day, no true Falmer or Dwemer then.

Not unless ESO plays fast and loose with the established canon.

As much as I would love to play either, I don't want the lore being destroyed.

How do you KNOW all this stuff? I mean, I have played all the games and what you are talking about is not unknown to me but being able to just pluck those dates and everything out of your head or even knowing what era what happened in....Is there someplace that lays all this out? I ask because I have long wanted to run a tabletop RP game based on this world and would love to have a resource I could look this stuff up on.

I do a pretty good job of remembering which Era stuff belongs to, but I can never remember the specifics. There are two fairly good Elder Scrolls Wikis that I refer to regularly.

The Elder Scrolls Wiki - This one is a great source of game information (crafting recipes, quest help, etc).
The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - This wiki has a lot more detailed lore information. As far as video game world "lore" goes, UESP is probably the second best Wiki there is. The best being the WoWpedia.

You'll notice if you do a lot of digging, that the period ESO is set in is kind of a big "blind spot" in the overall lore of Nirn so Zenimax Online should have at least some freedom.

outstanding! Thank you! I have been looking for something like this.
