Line 279:
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Katanas in ''Morrowind'' are only surpassed by claymores; the Orcish armour also looks very Japanese, and it's the best medium armour in the game.
** Mostly subverted in ''Oblivion'', though. Orcish armour now looks like stuff out of a gladiator movie, and Akaviri Katanas and Dai-Katanas are excellent starting weapons but nowhere near the cream of the crop. That said, one of the best obtainable weapons, Goldbrand, is an enchanted katana won from a Daedra Lord's quest. It's not ''quite'' an [[Infinity+1 Sword]], but it's close.
* [[Land of the Shattered Empire]]: The Earth Kingdom had this problem during the war with the Fire Nation; while individual factions and cities were holding their own against the invasion, they were unable to serve a united front. Bumi opted to surrender Omashu to Mai's parents, explaining to Aang that his ''ching'' told him it was the right decision to allow his people to evacuate. The generals at Ba Sing Se are forced to keep a war a secret from their King, meaning they all get blindsided when Kuei's [[Treacherous Advisor]] delivers the city to Azula on a platter. On the other side of the coin, Azula and Ozai opt to burn the entire kingdom to the ground when a war council reveals that factions still exist that are fighting their armies.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: There is one {{spoiler|Dwemer to be found}} in ''Morrowind'', but he's {{spoiler|been horribly mutated by corprus disease and [[Half the Man He Used To Be|has had his lower body replaced by a mechanical spider-like contraption]].}}
** An Argonian in Skyrim's Dark Brotherhood is the last of the Shadowscales, Argonians born under the sign of The Shadow who are sent to the Dark Brotherhood.
