  • Skyrim is a game boasting an endless number of villains for the Dragonborn to contend with, but perhaps no foe in The Elder Scrolls 5 is quite as unique as Miraak. The first true Dragonborn, Miraak is an ancient, twisted character who’s captured the attention of much of the community. However, despite being such a prolific antagonist, there’s probably still quite a few things most player never knew about this villain. So today we’ll be diving right into five Miraak secrets that you (probably) didn’t know in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

      Quite a weaksauce first dragonborn if I may say so myself. Even on Master, he's weaksauce if you're perked up and have potions out the ass. I'm running my first complete Legendary run right now (not at the beginning of course, I'd have gotten nowhere with my iron shit), so I will see if he's as weaksauce as he is on Master.

      I don't have any problems myself playing on legendary difficulty. Once you max up your armor, enchant with elemental resistances and learn some restoration, you dont even need a single potion.
      I do think that miraak is stronger though (at least at shouting), as he can shout more frequently and knows the shout that instantly kills dragons.

If you have killed Grelod the Kind already, but not yet been picked up by Astrid, and you go to Solsthiem to sleep, Astrid overrides. That means Astrid gets to you instead of Miraak. A bit interesting given the circumstances, but it's true. Tested it, myself.

    I don't think it's so strange. If anything was made clear, it's that Alduin would have destroyed the world itself. If Miraak did want to conquer it, sooner or later he would have had to defeat him. Makes sense that Hakon and the others would seek him out.
    That he chose otherwise though, might have been old Herma Mora's doing.
    The Daedric Prince of Knowledge would have known the outcome through knowledge of the prophesy of Alduin, and realizing that Miraak would not be a part of it, played him into becoming his champion.
    None of us would put it past a Daedric Prince to twist another for their own ends. He needed a champion, and Miraak was apparently the strongest of all dragonborn.
    Of course, if he did know, it would mean that he also knew that there would be another dragonborn to defeat Alduin and the "friend" that keeps sending the dragonborn the location of word walls might me Hermaus Mora himself.
    He would have needed to make the new dragonborn strong enough to not just defeat Alduin, but Miraak as well.

    His temple being at the Tree stone is likely a reference to Viking Mythos. The serpent/dragon Nidhogg lives around and gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree. Oddly enough, Alduin is also often associated with Nidhogg as well, since he feeds on the souls of the dead and bears the title of World-Eater.

    The tree stone is the one at the highest elevation, with a great many ways to make it defensible. Makes wonderful sense to make your seat of power there out of the stones that exist, especially with Dragons liking to perch up high.

    4:57 What is usually referred to as "Nord" is the modern race that lives today and has existed for some centuries, realistically not genetically the same as Miraak's because he was born *thousands* of years ago. His race can be _called_ "Nord" because of uninterrupted culture, but racially speaking he's probably an ancestor to Nords not more nor less than he is an ancestor to the other human races.

  • @kalamitylife7791

    My favorite head cannon idea with Miraak is that he knew you would eventually be born into the world and waited until you came into your true power to try and take it from you, but instead he underestimated the player character and hermaeus mora decided to try and lull us into servitude
