    I don't see why it's necessary to even bother with the lore. It's all there, let the DM figure out what he/she wants to do with it.

    Personally, while converting certain game mechanics is a good idea, (for example, I guess you'll want to use the Luck stat in some capacity, or maybe a Magicka system resembling Psionics or Spell Points) personally I'd want a game where I could, if I wanted to, take what I needed from it and put it into my own setting (I actually homebrewed a whole bunch of Tamrielic races a while ago, and I'm quite happy with them), or take what I needed from something else and place it into this setting.

    It's my biggest problem with the (largely abandoned, I believe) Legend of Zelda d20 project. There's no (or very little, anyway) backwards-compatibility.

    So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't fix what's not broken.
