NotesEdit
- This statue can be found in use in Skywatch as a statue of Aldmeri origin, though it can also be found in Ayleid Ruins like Nonungalo. It features a Welkynd Stone in its chest, which is associated with Ayleid culture.
- This statue was created with being an Ayleid asset in mind. In earlier versions of ESO, conflicting sources described the Ancients of Auridon as not only Aldmer and Altmer, but as exiled Ayleids from Valenwood. This theory was presented in the old version of Auridon Explored, Chapter XII, where Fenlil the Wayfarer asserts that the Ayleids landed on the northern tip of Auridon following the Alessian Slave Rebellion and became the ancestors of the island's Altmer population.[1] A member of the Mages Guild also asserted that the ruins of Ezduiin were Ayleid.[2] These sources conflicted with both established lore and other in-game texts, including earlier entries in the Auridon Explored series. They were later refuted by developers[3] and ultimately removed from the game during a patch. However, ESO continues to occasionally mistakenly identify ruins on Auridon (such as Torinaan) as Ayleid in origin.[4]
