The Khajiit - The Elder Scrolls Lore
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- The Khajiit are perhaps the most varied and unique species of The Elder Scrolls. Their rich culture combined with a wide-ranging history makes the Khajiit a splendorous topic to delve into. That's why I'm doing just that. Enjoy!

Bcause now eso elsywhr out and show alfiq and senche raft able to speak
Iv been correlating the elder scrolls with historical mythology and the high elves play there Germanic roles well lol but I also think the argonians are a metaphorical depiction of the Amazonian tribes that worshiped the annunaki and drink ayahuasca which is kinda like the hist in a way 🤔 the depth of your videos have helped me in ways the console games oblivion and skyrim could not, so I thank you greatly for presenting your findings 👍 good work
All rights and good so far

May your roads lead you to warm sands
and perhaps to the mighty Jungles as well?

I will never forget my first wife in Elderscrolls. I came home from a bunch of adventuring and she told me "We walk on warm sands". It felt like "I love you".

When they make a game in Elsweyr it will be the best elder scrolls game ever, the contrast alone between jungle and desert would be awesome
Yeah maybe elder scrolls 7
No. It'll be the worst, and the Khajiit culture will be dumbed down to basically just stereotypical Africa. Todd did shit like this to the Nords. He did this to Cyrodiil. He will do it to Elsweyr.
@@ksquidplaysminecraft There's already 2 ESO dlc set in Elsweyr, one in Anequina and one in most of Pelletine, it represented Khajiit society quite faithfully. This wasn't by Bethesda though and despite ESO's early faults their recent DLCs have been rather faithful although Summerset imo could've represented the Altmer architecture differently. Khajiits in the game use architecture remniscent of South East Asia but the culture otherwise is as described by lore.
@@ethanride3203 yeah maybe 7 or 8
@@IronBranchEnjoyer well they did do it to the nords and the imperials sooooo you will never now until it probably comea out
Its easy to reach the moon though, just make a 999999 acrobatics potion
Or make a "your mum" joke to a giant.
Isnt there a guy in one elder scrolls game that casts a spell then immediately gets launched into the heavens or am I tripping. Cause if so, just ask that guy for training.

Yes do your research on a fictional game race my friend, may your road lead you to warm sands.
Pellitine and Anequina sounds like Palpatine and Anakin. Coincidence? Probably.
woah
In Elder Scrolls lore, we have Sithis the Dread Lord. We also have Pelagius the Mad, which sounds like Plagueis the Wise. I think it's safe to say you had some Star Wars fans in the lore department.
Padumay and anukin are gods in the khajiit religion
And part of daggerfalls theme sounds like a song from the star wars prequels.

Learning more about ES lore just makes me angry. Angry about elves.
Found the Nord.
"Everything belongs to the elves!"
why dude? they have their own agenda and the altmer thinking they are the higher race isnt just osme fake shit they are in fact purer than the rest, sure they act like dicks about it but its still fucking fact which makes me like them because they arent bullshitting
these damn elves
@Based Log OOP
I once read that Khajiit can go to and from the moons of they want to. There are even Khajiit colonies living there.
To clarify, you can breathe in space in Elder Scrolls. The nature of space in the Elder Scrolls universe simply tries to make you forget that you can breathe. If you are uneffected, you can live out there. Or so I've heard from lorecasts
Yes, mother azuri has blessed khajiit abundantly. roads lined with moonsugar... paradise
Ah, the classic Tamrieli space programme called Project Giant-Launcher
How did you come across such knowledge
This ones claws wants to know
Gimme skooma
You can teleport to the moons with moonsugar XD
There are a lot of Elder Scrolls lore videos on UA-cam but yours are by far the best. The visual presentation makes them not only easier to digest, but also very entertaining. Keep up the good work ^^
Look at shoddycast.
@@davidhujik1554 shoddycast is ass all he does. Is have a imperialssssss and nordssssss also khajiitsssssss type voice fughmuppet is way better
maps REALLY help understand what he's talking about
Funny that they love sugar so much, since real life cats can't taste sugar. They literally lack the tastebuds needed to taste sweet flavors.

@@Talondrone TES is a helluva drug. My monkey is pleased.
SKOOMA
Yet they still crave it because of its caloric density
Man, I would be so much more interested in history class if our history involved gods, legends and the creation of different species.
Modernism wants you to believe that there isn't a history like that. But the truth is better.
Just look up the culture and beliefes of the old greeks, celts, native americans, and you will find some more...history is very fascinating whenn looking at the old old societies
?
Ancient Greek and Roman history classes are basically this since you will tackle their mythology at various points.
Elsweyr belongs to the Khajits
Miraak thank you mirrak, even though you tried to end all of us
THE NORDS BELONG TO SKYRIM
wait no thats slavery
Miraak, I am the Khajiit Dragonborn, Norman. I am coming to end you. FOR THE EMPIRE!!!

Can you do the argonians next

YES
They speak to Trees, Are born from Trees, Live in a swamp, Have an Assassin Cult known as thy Shadowscales, and fucked up dem Daedra and Dunmer real good, Done.
i agree, blackmarsh/argonian history pls.
Little is known and less is understood about the reptilian denizens of the Black Marsh...
I swear to god there are only 2 types of people
"Khajiit are awesome, the way they speak is so wise and enthralling."

"This one likes this channel. Tho, you should consider selling Khajiit some skooma if you want more spectators."
You have no idea how much I love this comment 😅
I jumped into Elder Scrolls with Skyrim, so this series is absolutely fantastic and so damn helpful. Great work!
That explains why I hear kharjio say "by the twin moons" sometimes lol
The existence of Ohmes explains so much about the Pelinal incident.
Pelinal Whitestrake? He went to Elsweyr too?
@@UN-Seki Yeah and killed a bunch of them
@@nicholasfallbrook9810 Ngl that is kinda cringe
Kill elves, not khajiit.
Welcome back dude i missed you
I love that ESO changed it to where Alfiq can talk. They are my favorite khajiit to talk to, and i stop and talk to every one I see. Because they are very amusing.
Wait what
I'm so happy you uploaded, always waiting for your vids, they're really the best!! Thank you!!
I've always wondered what catnip would do to them.....

It just worked! lol
Best Elder Scrolls lore series on UA-cam
I do believe the Khajit’s “journey to the moons” speaks of a spiritual quest similar to native Americans taking Ayahuasca, I believe they took some form of moon sugar which induced a meditative/hallucinogenic state that also poisoned the body(like the bad effects of skooma), in which usually only one member survived the ordeal and became the next spiritual leader. The point of all this being to speak with the gods.
I love how he switched from idk what to the elder scrolls story, Great job keep it up, you just earned another sub
what did the baby kittys look like when the moons was gone?
That is a damn good question.
I think there were no kittens during the void nights. Like, they would be born already dead and/or mutated. But if that was true, there should be some books about it, bc lack of kittens for 2 years would horribly affect society. What if the moons didn't disappear, but just became invisible?
I think, the fact that moons eventually came back after two years means that they were not destroyed and still could influence the kittens appearance although the cat people couldn't see the moons
I have never clicked on a video so fast. Keep it up man.
What if the “journey to the moon” is a metaphor for the mane canidits attempting to achieve Chim? That would explain why only one returns and why they become enlightened. The others disappear from existence as they do not maintain individualality when viewing the tower.
That may be true, but it being a LITERAL trip to the moons isn’t out of the question.
Spaceflight is absolutely a thing in TES, hell, in their hayday even the Argonians had spacecraft (also the most powerful weapons ever built, but that’s off-topic).
It’s mostly Lost-Technology by the time of the games, but it proves it’s possible.
your elder scrolls videos take ages but they are soo goood, worth the wait
Bunker Boy Gaming it's not that much misinformation but it's still really entertaining
I had just finished watching your other TES Lore videos and went to your channel to subscribe when I saw you just posted this one today! (: Thank you, and keep up the great work, these videos are great.
I love how the channel has blown up with these lore videos. Keep up the good work my man. Khajiit have the views, if you have the videos.
1:30 ok, I need to know how UA-cam 18+ detectors work, so they can't catch that
RitsarStudios obviously kitty tiddies don't count duh
It's informational
she likes only the barbed D :\
Right
1 its not human 2 its a game 3 its a drawing 4 its only breasts
YESSSSS YOU’RE BACK THANK AKATOSH
You mean Alkosh, right? ;p
So basically at the time of eso, Elsweyr is a mess (not even called elsweyr), what a perfect time and plot it would be.
@joe mcnoe Sounds like somebody that does not no the lore or even play the game.
@joe mcnoe If you knew the lore and understood that elder scrolls lore is not set in stone than you would not have said. Want to be lore masters are always the ones that know of the lore less.
@joe mcnoe the are some small mistakes in some dialogs and things like books from the future
But nothing huge. ESO staff try to communicate with lore guys from bethesda and, unlike you i guess, try to read and learn the lore
A video from you is a rare treat
Hope you do the rest of the races you did a very detailed job here. :)
Elder Scrolls: Elsweyr. The game we want and deserve but can't seem to get.
Imagine a whole The Elder Scrolls open-world game with the whole timeline and natural responses (by a very advanced AI) to your actions throughout your journey. You're free to go to a specific point in time where the behavior of the world is shaped by the current events in the lore. You can choose to be whoever you want. You can do whatever you want, although you have to proceed with caution. Just imagine...
Stop I can only get so hard!
This series is very well put together. Love the visuals and animations. Please keep publishing more of these!
HE'S BACK
And GONE
I love this video; it's definitely one of my favorite Khajiit lore videos. I just wanted to point out that UESP and Elder Scrolls Wiki list Masser as Jode and Secunda as Jone, in case anyone else was thrown off at 2:23 like I was. :-) Thank you for putting it all together!
Earned a sub man! Great videos; been watching a few and they are, for lack of better term, great Tamrielic encyclopedias!
Can you perhaps do Argonians next?
Welcome back! Nice presentation!
I love these series for some reason ahha... keep up the good work pls 😀
Why couldn't I have found you later when I could have binge watched you content now I have to wait for this great content.
The Khajiit, creating closet furries out of normies since 1994.

Thx. for your historical Review :) Looking forward to further insights and developments :)
Hey man the next video should do it is the snow elves or falmer
I'd like something more obscure, there already is tons of material on Falmer.
no man falmer means betrayed that's what knight-paladin gelebor said about the falmer so yeah i played the dawnguard dlc bro many times
Bro the falmer are the snow elf's have you played the vampire dlc
Falmer is the name of the Snow Elves. Falmer literally translates into Snow Elf in the language of the Mer. Knight-Paladin Gelebor said that he no longer called them the Falmer, but the Betrayed as they were so twisted and changed that he could no longer find any kinship with them. I hope this clears somethings up.
These videos are really thorough, keep em’ coming.
TheTabaK23 yes but a lot misinformation
M'aiq wishes he had a stick made out of fishies to give to you. Sadly, he does not."
Hoping the channel is popular enough for you to more regularly make content. You do a good job both visually and verbally.
Thalmor: *steals elsweyr from the empire and then lies about saving the khajit's moons.*
Empire: oh thalmor-senpai, i love you so much, uwu.
This one is surprised by the rich culture and history of the cat people. It's actually extremely interesting. Great video
Argonians next please. (Unless you did one and i'm blind)
This might be my favourite UA-cam video of all time
kajiit's version of christian communion is a drug rave with moonsugar
Very good presentation, enjoyed it very much!!!
So ESO Elsweyr is here
Apparently they *literally* go to the Jone's surface through a portal, Moongate of Anequina
Thank you for your awesome work🤩this is the best elder scrolls lore series on youtube
They need a single player elder scrolls that encompasses the entire map with extreme detail and unique/accurate creatures. They could also include the other continents and planes of existence for extra brownie points. Imagine an entire game where you got a feel for the whole world in one time period. You could choose where to start and the factions and Main and side quests are different per location and there is an overarching quest
The only way this is possible is through expansions like ESO. Unless you want an overly expensive 10 year project.
@@ALRuble Achshully with the amount of Skyrim mods out there you can do just that
@@craigatwood3899 "achshully" lol wut? I hope this is a joke
y'all never play Arena

I glad you are back.
The return!
Please make more! These are so interesting and informative!
ITS BEEN SO LONG I MISSED YOU SO MUCH
Get glad you still uploading
We need a "The elder scrolls : Elsweyr
Welcome Back! Keep the lore coming!
Khajiit and argonian are my favorite race on eso and I created a snow leopard khajiit.
Papa Nurgle strikes again. Great choice of background music by the way.
It would be awesome if the next Elder scrolls game involves discovering a secret city of Lilmothiit who were thought to have been extinct due to an epidemic only for you to find out they have hidden cities all over Tamriel. God I wonder what their armor, weapons, and other exports were like.
So good to see you back!! Don't be gone for so long next time :D
I don't understand one thing - "How did khajiit culture rise?" If there are bipedal intelligent Suthay, Cathay, Omhes and quadrupeds, unable to speak and make things (because of paws) Senche, Alfiq, Pahmar and others in one family... I mean, how they teach their children? For example, Alfiq can't talk and so they can't teach their Suthay children, and Suthay can't teach Alfiq, because they can't talk and have only paws, not hands to make things. Most of the country should not even be tribes, rather more like cavemen, but worse without continuity of generations... Rising of khajiits is an accident, to rise they needed to breed often in hope that Suthay, Cathay or Omhes would be born, and parents could teach their children. Until they found out what each phase of the Moons is doing, and then the whole variety of khajiits will disappear (except for those who live in jungles, not in towns), because "Why you need to give birth to a cat-like Alfiq, if you really can plan 6,5 ft (2 m) strong anthropomorphic Cathay-raht!?"
think the feral based ones can talk but choose not to. like why reveal you can talk so can observe with every one thinking your a normal cat or pet cat.
Quality content, thanks for uploading.
I'm curious about the birth rate while the moon's were gone
FG39v9.1 _ 0...every Khajiit born during that time was stillborn
It said disappeared, not gone. It like how when we can’t see our moon it still affects the tides and such
@@helpmereach690subscribers3 I always thought all would have been Born a Mane, I didn't realise they were all dead... Damn Thalmor...
Caller's Bane? Lol
Love the videos, more Skyrim lore is always appreciated.
The only race I ever play as
Word. The unarmed claw attack bonus you get kicks so much ass early on in the game.
You have returned!
OMG HHHEESSSS BACKKKKKK
Finally. Great videos. This one really likes your channel. Keep it up!!!
its been to long, time to get back in the swing of it :)
Awesome video - thanks!
Kajiit has wares if you got coin !
The only reason I came to the comments.
Incredible, thanks for the video, I really enjoy it :D
I want to see battle cats in the next elder scrolls
this is awesome! keep up the good work. ive always loved elder scrolls lore but it can be confusing sometimes!
I just started my first Khajiit character* tonight, about 3 hours ago, and then youtube recommends me this. That's some creepy shit, UA-cam.
*(I called him Grau Meow)
I've named my previous characters, Pickles, Chairman Meow, Catrick, and of course Cat Stevens.
Dude... UA-cam did the same shit to me.
Me too I created my first character khajiit
I went back to ES4 and named mine Kha' lep-toh (as in kleptomaniac).
I just started skyrim for the first time ever a week or so ago with a Khajiit !!
Thanks for making these videos.
I really hope the world of TES 6 is all of Tamriel and not just another individual region.
I don't - making such a game would be extremely difficult, and we could presume that most of the map would be nothingness of nothingsland, also, they should save that for the last TES game.
@@ogalo1653 I agree. I have no issue that the ES games so far ( Not including ESO ) have only tooken place in one region. Just imagine the quality they would have to take out of everything else if they were to make it so you could play in all the regions.
Exactly, would you prefer an ocean shallow like a puddle or a puddle as deep as an ocean?
With bethesda's currently shitty track record, horrible creation engine and horrible draw distance? Hell no.
i dont agree i think its gunna be very difficult,game would be fucking shitty because its all in one which would force them to not do much detailing like they did in skyrim
YEEEESSSSSS!!!!! MORE DECADENCE NIGHT TES LORE!
Those damn Sload!
their berp spread into the khaajit's land
woot your back and have lots of content I DOOOO like these lore videos
