Lore talk:Sanguine

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

'Sanguine' only means 'bloody' with reference to sanguine sketching chalk and then it was a simple reference to its coppery-red colour; see Leonardo Da Vinci's sketches for an example of what it looks like. Sanguine does not reference 'blood' or 'bloody' in the sense of temperamental violence or gore. Hey, but if that was the intention of the creators of the game then who am I to complain? I'll leave it in but it seems wrong to me.--Wangpangu 12:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

It can also mean cheerful, carefree, or complacent. All of its meanings seem to be related to the Red Humors of blood.74.65.142.202 15:01, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
