Well either you got the collectors edition of oblivion or I need to re-play that game cause I don't remember there being a slider that turns dunmer purple or blue. And even if there is, its a game mechanic.
The lore websites make it clear that azura turned the chimer into the ashen grey dunmer.
Considering that the vampire lady is trying to make her helgen home and cracked dusk keep more livable, I think she cares about decorations and shiney things more than farmers tools and some spoilable foodstuffs she probably wont eat.
Though she probably would have stolen any trade goods she could fit in her wagon that were small enough in quantity or magnitude to not be noticed to be gone for awhile, if she could managed to swipe any without waking people up.
But I feel like most trade goods would be found in crates and barrels lying around the town so she could have easily swiped those cause no one ever seems to check those places for some reason.
Seriously, you can clean out all the crates and barrels in a small town in skyrim and as long as the guards don't catch you,
no one ever seems to notice. So I think that's sufficient trade goods to have been taken, right there.
As for the farmers to soldiers comment, think about this, have you ever seen a solider in the imperial legion say he used to be a farmer or that he has plans of going back to being a farmer after the war is over? No you don't. Once your in the legion, your in the legion. That's it. The games make it pretty clear the legion is a life time obligation and if you try to leave, you get thrown in jail for deserting or you get killed. At least that's what happened in the games anytime I tried to quit after joining.
The only way for someone to be a retired veteran is either if they are injured and cant fight for the legion anymore, in which case they would probably be too injured to farm either, or they are old, in which case they would be too old to farm as well.
So unless they have someone else living with them who is young enough to farm, I don't see it very likely that an old worn legion veteran would be in a farm town.
As for the smiths, metal doesn't have to just come in ingots. That just happens to be what people find mostly.
You can also find piles of dwarven scrap metal too you know, so there could be scrap metal of other things or old worn beaten down armor that can be melted down for its parts.
whatever else they are, amulets of mara are pieces of jewelry first and foremost. So they probably would have been swiped by the vampire lady.
As for the rorik family thing, I am just going to say she wasn't aware of such a thing and never found their house and just leave it at that.
Uhm. Not all Nords fought in the legions. I believe the Empire has Auxiliary Corps, and there is always provincial forces as well. A majority of Nords of this generation probably have seen some sort of fighting or combat.
Even in the Roman Legions (which is what the Imperial Legion is based off), you served your time and left, and were given land to settle. The whole "once in the Legion, always in the legion", is more symbolic then a hard fact. If Legionnaires couldn't leave and settle down, half the damn small towns and farmsteads in Skyrim wouldn't exist.
