Oblivion talk:The Dragon Break

Time Paradox

Question: The way this is written it as if it was written well after the time of the events of oblivion, yet it is a book in Oblivion itself, would anyone care to explain the logical hedaches that gives me? — Unsigned comment by ‎80.225.83.238 (talk) at 10:42 on 25 December 2009

The dragon break does not refer to any event in oblivion, but to events from an earlier era. --85.191.86.135 01:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

The book is strangely written. Oblivion is set at the end of the third era and beginning of the fourth, however the book refers to historians of the late 3rd era as if they were some time in the past. Uriel VII is the emperor at the start of Daggerfall, so obviously most of it is talking about that time. My best guess is that it's just continuity mistakes; the book was written before the setting had been finalized for Oblivion and Bethesda never got around to fixing it for the setting that they'd decided on. It's a pretty rare book so they probably forgot about it. --Morrolan (talk) 05:16, 11 October 2013 (GMT)
