I suspected but you never know
My bad
Dude, you gotta check out elder scrolls lore, it's fucking wild. The world runs on clockwork, vivec gave molag bal sloppy toppy while his toppy was sloppy (he was headless), the lizards lick trees to become argonians which are wifi-enabled (the Hist trees can remotely control argonians, which meant shit got real during the Oblivion Crisis and Mehrunes Dagon, a fucking daedric prince pissed himself in fear when he tried to invade the Black Marsh), there are like, 72 1/2 forms of khajiit, it's heavily suggested that the elder scrolls is a post-apocalyptic fantasy game...
Also, every race in the elder scrolls has had a space program. The khajiit space program was literally just them standing on each other's shoulders to reach space.
Oh yeah. And the dragon breaks. When time and space just kinda fuck up and every possible outcome happens at the same time before settling onto a single thread (in-universe explanation for why there's one canon ending to each game despite players being able to get other endings; each game takes place during a dragon break).
Are there any pictures of this? I can't stop laughing at the image in my head. This is phenomenal world building.
Sadly, afaik, there are no official images of it. As Skua noted, it's not exactly canon, but to my knowledge there isn't actually anything that contradicts it. As such, I think most lore nerds take it as fact. Also because, as Skua said, it's way more interesting for the Khajiit to have had a space program where they stood on each other's shoulders than not.
Also, Bethesda has severely neglected the Argonians and Khajiit, so people take whatever Argonian or Khajiit lore they can get. I think they're "too furry" for Bethesda or something.
Admittedly, a Black Marsh TES would be difficult to do without it being an Argonian-only spin-off because, iirc, Argonians violently eject anyone trying to enter the marsh.
Meanwhile, a game set in Elsweyr would require a lot of effort due to all the different skeletons and character models they'd have to create. They'd probably double or triple the number of character models simply due to all the different forms of Khajiit (there are 17 forms, ranging from having the appearance of a basic house cat to being almost identical to Mer (elves) or Men (Redguard, imperial, etc)), with significantly more work if they tried to make them all playable with full armor sets.
the marsh is also near impossible to live in unless you are argonian
Or Decimus Scotti.
