Valenwood

Well, in the Elder Scrolls Online, we can stumble across an extremely similar object, at least in appearance.

Beneath the city of Eldenroot in the Bosmer province of Valenwood, we can discover an old alien ruin from thousands of years ago, called the Orrery.

And at the center of the orrery is a very familiar-looking sphere.

The object looks nay identical to the Eye of Magnus in everything but its color.

Nivenor is a Bosmer married to the Nord-Boli, so another Bosmer-Nord pairing.

Jaeger-Tharn, one source says he was born in southern Valenwood to a Bosmer mother with mixed elven ancestry.

In the real Berenziah, Simicus calls him a mongrel elf who is part wood elf, part dark elf with dubious human ancestry.

There's also evidence of Bosmer mixing with other elves.

So, Ayleid refugees fleeing the Alessian Order intermingled with Bosmer.

According to the Theorem of Disheritage, the Valenwood Ayleids eventually could only have children by mating with local Bosmer.

Mankar Cameron was an Altmer with Bosmeri heritage as well, thought to be the son of Haman Cameron and a Bosmer woman named Kaelas.

So, It's not like there's not interbreeding, intermixing of lineages.

offering a nice little extra reward alongside the gold we're normally given for helping a brusa out.

Next on our list, speaking of Crimson Nurmroot, did you know that Skyrim isn't actually the only Elder Scrolls game they appear in? In the Elder Scrolls Online, within the Mage's Guild Hall in the Valenwood City of Marbrook, during the quest, The Staff of Magnus, players get a chance to delve into that building's vault, where the guild stores all sorts of interesting trinkets and objects of magical significance.

and, sure enough, within there, growing in a pot, is a Crimson Nirnroot.

How this little guy was found by the Valenwood Mages Guild thousands of years prior to the events of Skyrim is unclear at best.

It's long been suspected that the existence of these plants is the result of something Dwemer-related, and the Dwemer kept themselves in Morrowind and Skyrim, literally as far away as you could get from Valenwood.

So, perhaps this little detail is cause for reconsideration of that theory.

Whatever the case, a very intriguing find, indeed.

Some may call this junk.
