PGE1 explicitly states they have strong Elven ancestry https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Pocket_Guide_to_the_Empire,_First_Edition:_High_Rock - though this information did not carry over to PGE3, it's safe to assume some level of Elf blood is a thing. -Toyotomi Hideyoshi succeeded Oda Nobunaga NOT the other way around. Toyotomi enacted the sword hunt. -The "Berber" pictured in the Redguard section is sub-saharan African, NOT Berber as stated. On a lighter note, some have pointed out even more sub-saharan medieval influences in Redguards, such as from the Mali and Songhai. -The Sami people are not just from Finland, but all of northern Scandinavia.
