Via Rail has a fleet of Siemens Charger trains that could be used on the Halifax to Sydney Route. These trails travel at 202 km/h and would make the tip in less than 2 hours. For the amount of money we have spent on highway up grades, investing in new tracks for these high speed trains would be cheap.

Road building conditions vary greatly in Nova Scotia. Sometimes slight changes in location can mean large changes in cost. In ideal conditions, the average cost would be about $3,000 per kilometre.
The fact that Altmeri men are castrated, because of selective breeding, and High Elves are basically descendants of Aldemers (change from D to T is probably because of castration because male Altmers lack The D) proves that Breton race can't originate from human females fornicating with mer males.
It's far more probable that due to the lack od The D, Aldmeri women were craving sexual pleasure and the easiest way for them to achieve that was to take human male slaves and breed with them. Hence proving that Bretons males in fact are not cucks. The cuck in question were Aldmers or now: Altmers.
Thank you for coming to my STL Talk.
Markarth is my favourite city in Skyrim (as in, the 2011 game), partly because it's so steeped in ancient and modern history. Built on top of and into repurposed Dwemer ruins, and still feeling the aftershocks of Ulfric 'retaking' it from the Reachmen. In the course of my current playthrough (first 'thorough' one despite playing since 2011) I'm with the imperials and thinking a lot about Ulfric and what other people think of him like Brunwulf and the default Riften Jarl's son.
All this to say - what is a person from the Reach? ln terms of Ancestry, where do they fit in? I understand that they're generally closest to Bretons between their roots in High Rock and how TES races map onto real-world cultures, but UESP seems very, very hesitant to use the terms interchangably. Of course, all the in-game Forsworn are Bretons, save for a couple like Borkrul, and that makes me wonder if at some point 'Reachman' becomes more of a cultural signifier than an ancestral one, especially given that lore articles on Reachmen call them, well, Reachmen instead of Bretons, and though they are generally written of as in opposition to Nords, Skyrim makes differentiating races by eye harder than Oblivion and, again, they seem happy to accept non-Bretons into their ranks.
Are Reachmen 'just a Breton subset' or is there something more to it?
EDIT: just want to say thanks for the responses; I don't play ESO and it's enlightening to see the responses are more complex than 'they're Bretons but with the Celt slider turned up'
Well i wonder will their be any difference on the bi product of nord + dark elf?
Hello everyone, Orsimer here. I was on my way to praise malacath in battle, when this Breton woman jumped onto me and begged for me to procreate with her. Iβm concerned for this womanβs safety and mental well being. Currently she is waiting for me outside of my tent as I write this. What should I do? Should I contact her husband or any friends she may have?
You know me everyone knows me πππ₯°ππππππ Me dumb me sorry for englush
I'm so damn happy, honestly. I was really hoping we could get some more Hammerfell content bc I like to make my characters and play them with a theme; usually by having them play in their respective zone first. It helps me get a better idea for my character and appreciate their history!
I'm looking at the BretonΒ Names on UESP and it's basically average Joe IRL names lol. So would It be lore friendly to name my Breton Flynn?
"Our content plans will be to back off major plots with "end of the world invasion" themes for a bit to tell a traditional "Elder Scrolls" story of political intrigue and factional infighting, concentrating on one ofΒ ESOβs playable races that has not yet had a full cultural and historical deep dive."
I nabbed this from the ESO site from their 2022 "Looking Forward" message. The only times I ever post in this sub is to gripe about how little Breton lore we have, due to them being my favorite race. If this doesn't mean that we're getting a Breton themed DLC in the near future then I don't know what to do with myself anymore.
To further the discussion, is there any new Breton lore I may have missed, or any interesting new tidbits people have found? Besides the Knights of the Silver Rose, which didn't really add much. Let me know! Bretons need some love!
The Bretons have always been described as humans with magical affinity. They were humans with a strong history with the Direnni Elves, who they learned from and also partnered with, which resulted in the elven blood that gives them their affinity. I also read that they were a highly independent people, who were confident in their magic and the strength of their kingdom, so they really just relied on themselves. How cool is that? I get to be this cool magical human dude that goes where he pleases.
In their zones, however, they're just painted as this naΓ―ve feudalist kingdom made up of knights, priests, and middle-aged balding dukes that get foiled by some mysterious outside force or magic that they were too naΓ―ve or caught up in petty power struggles to stop. Where's this society built on magic and knowledge? I swear I've met more priests and brothers than I have sorcerers, and any other character is just some knight in service to his duke or king. To make things worse, maybe this knight belongs to some order that gives off weird zealous crusader vibes, which I've always considered an opposing value to magic.
The only magic I really see is beyond the city walls. You have the Wyrd Sisters, the witches, the werewolves, cults, the Reachmen...... But like I said, these things are like these magical forces just hiding in the woods, something to be scared of rather than learned from. The whole thing just feels like a really basic form medieval/dark age fantasy, which feels out of place next to really out of the box thinking I see with the rest of the lore in this game about other magical peoples (Daedra/Aedra, Dunmer, Dwemer, Altmer, u name it).
Anyone else feel this way?
Apparently some user on the 4chen, mentioned something, and a discord I was in was talking about it. brought it up and this actually looks like it could be a legit thing. As even the Elder Scrolls fandom has a page that confirms some of this information.
The Legacy of the Bretons year-long story starts here! Strange things are happening in the Coral Aerie and Shipwright's Regret as old rivalries, ancient history, and the birthright of the Bretons come into focus and lead to the upcoming High Isle Chapter.
Now I would think that this very interesting, I love the idea of it, but then the Fandom has done this. I'm guessing this was datamined information, https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Coral_Aerie and https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Rivenyard Which not only makes use of a shipyard in Rivenspire, but also uses Coral Aerie for its name, which matches with what was said on the 4Chen. Not only that, but High Isle got directly mentioned in ESO Deadlands, its part of a lore book, which name drops it and this lorebook was about a Breton man. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_First_Gleaner
I know they donβt have much to go on for interesting lore, but that also leaves a lot to go on for future games. I can never fully understand what they did wrong to deserve being memed on, the name being censored so much and just straight up almost every single post I see about Bretons being negative about them.
