Lore talk:Eternal Champion

Start of the game and Symachus death

In vol 5 of Lore:The Real Barenziah, v 5 and vol 3 Lore:Biography of Queen Barenziah it is mentioned that she helped free the Eternal Champion after Symachus died .That would mean it supposedly happened in 391 or even 396 (according to the third pocket guide) which would contradict the ingame start year that is always 389.That would mean the quest took only 8 or even just 3 years.--217.244.69.107 20:16, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Eternal Champion's class

I know this might not be added to the page but wanted to write this anyway. Can we assume that the champion was a batlemage? Ria Silmane was Tharn's apprentice and she tutors the champion. Furthermore, mage classes start with a dagger and the intro text states Talin taking out his dagger. TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 14:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Insufficient source for obtaining artefacts

I cannot find any source for the champion collecting artefacts, the link just says events of arena but it is optional to pursue the artefacts. TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 14:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I restored your edit with a fix for the error. The whole area of canonical Hero deeds is a sort of gray area on the wiki, I brought it up on the community portal a while back and there wasn't really a consensus. One of the things I brought up in that discussion was how bloated individual lorepages would be for the Heroes, as it would be notable to describe each and every one of their godly artifacts. That point was never addressed by the opposition so its inconclusive exactly what the wiki's stance is on it. On one hand, most of the artifact pages have in their history that the Nerevarine, Last Dragonborn, Hero of Kvatch, etc. claimed them. On the other hand, it is not so for their respective pages (or entries on Lore:Hero) This page being the sole exception to that is, in my opinion, a poor precedent as it doesn't accurately reflect what has been exhibited in the rest of the wiki, thus my reverting.

Childhood home

A picture has the caption underneath stating it is the childhood home of the eternal champion, what is the source of this?TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 01:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

This is the background image seen during the character creation sequence where you answer a bunch of questions based on the Champion's upbringing. --Rezalon (talk) 01:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I am well aware but can this not just be some home? TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 03:51, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Why would it be just some random home if not the Eternal Champion's before the events of the game? --Rezalon (talk) 04:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Maybe just some background image to add to the atmosphere? 80.60.179.34 04:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I've always thought of it as the EC's home, too, but isn't it original research? Even if it were safe to assume that the image is of something in the class quiz, there are multiple buildings mentioned there that it could be; how do we know it's not the friend's home? And if we accept it on this page, consider that the same image is used in Daggerfall's class quiz. Would we then be forced to conclude that the Agent and EC lived together?

The Daggerfall character creation scenario reuses Arena's, and its scenarios even contradict already established lore (such as the Agent's birth year), so I think it's safe to say it has no bearing on Daggerfall's PC. --Rezalon (talk) 21:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
