And, while he is no longer technically employed by Bethesda, he is occasionally hired as a "Lore Consonant." He no longer writes for the games directly, but does shape the greater world still. He is Elder Scrolls in many ways. A pretentious little twerp, yes, but he is near singlehandedly responsible for the more interesting aspects of Tamriel that separate it from your average fantasy setting. He is also responsible for one of the biggest Gary Stus in existence, (Vivec you prick) but I digress.

No, sadly, this is not just his own fanfic. Can Bethesda make it so? Of course they can (and I prey they do) but as it stands, it is more then that. He still works for the company (albeit as a freelancer rather then payroll) and he is a massive influence among the writers. While unconfirmed, it is said several writers who are still on payroll are in support of C0DA and it's ideas on canon. So, unless we want to draw the ire of the Elder Scrolls community, and directly ignore a potential massive aspect of how Bethesda treats canon, we have to careful in how we treat missions in the canon. Is it impossible? No. But it takes a lot more work then before.
