This, coupled with the fact that His Holiness was never able to pronounce 'Guar' correctly (his troubles with the provincial Chimeric tongue is legendary), led to Septim finally callings them 'Tigers', from a fabled recollection of a storybook beast he loved as a youth.
On the mainland, and specifically the Deshaan Plains, Guars are striped. Here's why: during a tour of Morrowind in the earliest days of the Armistace, Tiber Septim became enamored of the beasts. Another little known fact is that the Imperials often refer to Guars as 'Tigers'.
In fact, they were created by Vivec to hunt Dreughs during a time-lost campaign against the Altmer of the sea.īackground on Guars and Tiber Septim's love of tigers
