Lore talk:Mane

Always Male?Edit

Is it implied that a "mane" is always male? — Unsigned comment by ‎139.67.203.22 (talk) at 23:31 on 27 June 2010

In fact, I can't find a single case where a mane is referred to by any gender-specific term. Most explicit is Master Zoaraym's Tale, which includes the phrase "The Mane itself", implying an absence of gender, or at least that gender is irrelevant to a Mane. I'm going to tweak the article to reflect this. rpeh •TCE 07:16, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Real world comparison leads me to believe it is implied quite heavily, as the only feline animal with a mane is a male lion. A lion's mane also carries significance in hierarchy, long manes are connected to higher testosterone and healthier lions will grow denser manes, thus it is likelier for large maned lion to become the pride's leader. 88.193.133.174 15:06, 24 September 2014 (GMT)
The events of ESO are quite clear that it can be female. You are involved in choosing the next mane, with both hopefuls being female. Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 17:35, 24 September 2014 (GMT)

DeletionEdit

I oppose the deletion because, while the Khajiit page contains overlapping info, the role of the Mane is significant enough to warrant its own page - much like Lore:The Silvenar. This page also lacks ESO info that would expand it. A revamp of this page was actually on my to-do list. --Jimeee (talk) 09:41, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I agree. The Mane is a key part of Reaper's March questline, where you get to choose one, and also a lot of names of past Manes and other lore details are mentioned there. So there's really a lot of lore to be added. I have also thought about revamping this page for some time and will gladly help. --Vordur Steel-Hammer (TINV1K) 12:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Fair enough. I know very little about ESO, and didn't see a revamp template or anything of the like on this page, so I thought it'd be alright to delete this as it is a very small page and could simply be moved to the Khajiit page. So, I'll stand down and let you guys do your thing. --Rezalon (talk) 00:30, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Return to "Mane" page.
