Lore talk:Exegesis of Merid-Nunda

Herminia Cinna

This has to be a name coincidence. I see no way that the name mentioned in the text refers to Oblivion:Herminia Cinna, being an Imperial living 800(?) years later. Then again the The Last King of the Ayleids seems to appear in ESO too. What's going on here, did we attribute the author wrong there or is something more unusual involved? --Alfwyn (talk) 16:19, 20 February 2014 (GMT)

Looks like another continuity error on ESO's part. With The Last King of the Ayleids, Zemimax likely didn't check who wrote the book or when it was written before they added it to the game. The same thing happened with the ESO book Lore:Varieties of Faith: The Khajiit, where it mentions Empress Kintyra from the 3rd Era. Lore explanation: super coincidence or Herminia Cinna's ancestor who also happened to be a scholar. Sloppy. --Jimeee (talk) 16:42, 20 February 2014 (GMT)

Yeah, likely just a slip up. I'm actually pleasantly surprised there haven't been more of these. We can inform ZOS, and they may or may not fix it, or create an official position or something. These lore problems happen every game. Jeancey (talk) 19:28, 20 February 2014 (GMT)
