Why do the Thalmor hate Tiber Septim?

The Thalmor hate Tiber Septim (Talos) because he was a mortal man who conquered their homeland, the Summerset Isles, uniting Tamriel under human rule, which they see as a desecration of elven heritage and power. They view his deification as a blasphemy, a corruption of Lorkhan (Shor), and believe eradicating his worship weakens the Empire, restores elven dominance, and helps them undo creation to achieve divinity.

What is the rarest thing in Skyrim?

The "rarest" item in Skyrim is subjective, but often cited are uniquely named, single-occurrence items like the Notched Pickaxe (found near a skeleton) or Cabo Zane's Fane (a dagger for slicing dragon scales), or quest-specific items like Barenziah's Crown or Colovian Brandy, which can be permanently missed if choices aren't made carefully, making them rare through player error rather than inherent scarcity. Truly rare items are often unique artifacts or quest rewards that have no other source in the game, like Daedric artifacts or unique weapons such as Firiniel's End, but many players consider quest-critical items that can be permanently lost to be the rarest.
