Prod[edit]

The prod tag here says there's no reference to the term on the site, but there is for another spelling; Glenumbria Moors. Should this be moved, integrated with another article, or still deleted? --GKTalk2me 08:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I'd rename this article to the correct spelling and kill the redirect. Eventually I dare say it'll be merged into the Lore:Wars page - unless we decide to split that out into separate articles instead. Decisions, decisions... –rpehTCE 09:20, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
I had missed the misspelling. Thx. Joram 21:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
The spelling is indeed Glenumbra Moors, and a redirect should be used until all links are corrected, and then the prod should be discussed. --Uniblab 22:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
I just looked at Five Songs of King Wulfharth in the Morrowind Construction Set and it uses Glenumbria Moors so Bethesda was inconsistent about it. ‒ JoramTalk 22:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
If Glenumbra is used in a game and Glenumbria only appears in a book, then the former should be preferred, with the other getting a Category:Redirects from Alternate Names redirect in Lore. –rpeh TCE 23:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Article contains important omissions that need filled[edit]

There is no mention of the Nords taking part under King Hoag Merkiller, or his death in the battle, or that he wielded the thu'um (Five Songs of King Wulfharth, Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Ed.). There is also no mention of the decisive role played by Raven Direnni in the battle (De Rerum Dirennis). There is no mention of the Day of Release, a holiday celebrated by the inhabitants of Glenumbra Moors in remembrance of this battle.

If there are any other suggestions for additions, just leave them here.

Should be okay now. It should be noted that it's not explicitly stated that the Ayleid king helped the Direnni, but I don't think there's any other logical conclusion given what we know of the Alessian Order. Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 02:35, 30 June 2013 (GMT)
According to the ballad in ESO, the Bretons fought on the side of the Direnni as well: "Who took up arms that winter dawn and to Glenumbra came? / To raise their hand 'gainst tyrants stand and die in freedom's name? / Who stood upon the field that hour to answer Direnni's call? / Men, Breton-born, all came that morn, to fend the land for all!" It appears that the Alessian Order had worn out the patience of just about everyone else, and they chose to stand against it here. 174.6.51.17 02:29, 14 July 2014 (GMT)
This article will need a fair amount of updating given the events of ESO and the time travelling weirdness the player causes. It also ought to mention Faolchu and the nameless soldier. —Legoless (talk) 02:42, 14 July 2014 (GMT)
