6:00 this is because there was no listener for the dark brotherhood for god knows how long, and due to the way the black sacrament works (night mother hears your plea, and speaks only to the listener), it may seem like the dark brotherhood is incompetent, but they quite literally cant recieve contracts via the black sacrament (nobody knows this though, including maven), i dont actually know how they end up recieivng contracts in skyrim prior to the arrival of the nightmother and the dragonborn becoming the listener, and maybe thats just an oversight xD
I believe they go out of their way to say it's just been through word of mouth that the sacrament was performed, which is ridiculous because performing it should be illegal in and of itself So the person should be in jail by the time they find out
They know when they hear rumors about it. Like, everyone and their mother knew that Aventus Aretino was doing the black sacrement and Muiri tell everyone in Markarth that she wanted to kill someone lmao. Maven was doing the sacrement in secret, so the DB never heard ot it.

It’s called propaganda they want us to think the rich are evil so that we won’t seek to be rich, saying things like money is the root of all evil. The actual verse says the love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself, and the majority of people who love to say money is the root of all evil tend to be anti-Christianity and anti-bible
I actually think the Empire making Maven interim jarl of Riften is a good idea IF they play their cards right. While she's an official position of power, there is going to be a LOT of paperwork and a LOT of non-business matters she'll have to take care of. She'd essentially be working two jobs. This means she's more likely to slip up somewhere. To write her secrets onto Imperial paper. It also allows the Empire a means to double-puppet her. By puppeteering Elisif as High Queen to ask things of Maven, who would be reluctantly subservient to Elisif as her liege.
To put into perspective just how valuable daedric armor was in Morrowind: in the base game, the literal only way to get a full set of daedric armor was to kill Divayth Fyr. In the first and second DLCs they put a left shoulder pad and right shoulder pad just in two completely random spots so you could get the full set without killing an essential NPC (in 3 you could kill essential NPCs, but the game would tell you after "hey, that guy was important, if you don't revert save right now your file will be fucked up"). So the literal only way to get a full set was to ruin your save file.
If we take the… silly little book known as the Sonni-etta as somewhat cannon (if forum posts by past devs count that is) Reman had the Amulet of kings in his forehead and could use his man milk to bake bread. So I think that counts as a form of wealth
@@masterneloth I think the Orc Butler is oblivios to the counts conditon. He would not bring that up to a stranger. Also its not said that in lore vampires don't eat also normal food. Evidence is also Vicente Valteris complaint about Marie Antoinettes cooking with garlic. So maybe only true blooded vampires can live without food or Serana was in magical coma.
@@mikeynth7919idk, as bad a rep Bethesda gets, their attention to minute details in all their games would lead me to believe Serena wouldn't use the eating bread animation if, in lore, she doesn't need to eat
I am the richest. I ask Elenwen when we were in morrowind for a small loan of 1millon spetims. When the hero of kavatch came knocking in chorrol. I had him send my paument, in tripple, back to Elenwen in skyrim so she could build the embassy outside solitude. The best part is Elenwen maid the nords pay for it in the end and we split the Spetims between both of us.
Nice video. I really enjoyed it ^^ Also... I had an idea for another one. You did videos about the strongest vampires and werewolves. What about video about the strongest monster hunter?
@@masterneloth I can think about few more already. Like Mel Adrys or Gloria Fausta. Also Movarth was an vampire hunter before he was transformed into one
i would say Neloth Telvanni during the 4th era specifically since he is one of the few if not the only one who during the 4th era who can make magic staffs of high quality and its likely anyone who uses a magic staff in skyrim is probably holding a Neloth piece except the ones found in ancient nord tombs and Neloth canonically has collected massive numbers of ancient and valuable staffs including sanguins rose and skull of corruption at one point and probably even now and then sells valuable staffs he doesn't need, he also happens to be a grandmaster in the house with a mouth living in the Telvanni coast, and its very likely he has made very exquisite staffs on commission for very wealthy people throughout tamriel during his time
He is also a very talented and skilled master enchanter. And no doubt would in time create some very powerful artifacts of his own, especially if his life-extending heartstone research goes anywhere.
@@videocrowsnest5251 exactly so he probably has a pretty strong enchanting business to fund his research, he is responsible for 90% of the staffs we find on bandits and magic users and probably has a very select cliantel for his top shelf staffs. it wouldn't surprise me if he simply ships his staffs off to morrowind, cyrodiil through portals or even teleportation spells for income (and enchanted items including some staffs can be very expensive) and being one of the heads of the house he probably is swimming in personal wealth just by being on the councel of house Telvanni and being of the Telvanni family of said house and being a descendent of the house's founder, he probably also has a massive amount of wealth he also inherited and in morrowind he also had investments we can rule out the emperor Titus Meade II, and the Jarls since the empire is in decline and in lore this has greatly affected Skyrim's Economy as well as specific members of Jarl Elesif's thanes. Neloth and his skill and reputation he would have a lot of gold to fund his experiemnts just by selling staffs and enchanted goods as well as commissions for enchanting specific items which would fetch a high price also he probably takes a cut from his apprentice's sales of rare spell tomes. if you break down all the known investments of House Telvanni Neloth being from the Telvanni family and decendent of its founder. also Neloth has in the past been in the trade of buying and selling Dwemer items and relics. Neloth Telvanni is the best candidate for being the richest in all of tamriel because of the fact he is the head of the Telvanni council and of the core Telvanni family, he is a master enchanter and presumably been enchanting and selling enchanted items for 200 years or more is interest in buying and selling dwarven artifacts for the last 200 years, he is very likely very wealthy by the 4th era
@@HappyBeezerStudios yeah, i would assume most staffs would be either be a Neloth or a replication of his staff enchanting techniques. it wouldn't surprise me if the most of the most powerful mages use a Neloth rather than a poorly made staff so he likely has a monopoly on their sales so mr. Neloth Telvanni, i solute you and your ability to gain a monopoly on staff creation and sales through out the empire and morrowind. i wouldn't be surprised if his Mouth was running the sales part in morrowind as a side buisness while representing Neloth in the Telvanni council, his name does carry a lot of weight as if i remember right he is the head house Telvanni since the nereverine appeared
The last dragonborn ofcourse. Having daedric artifacts. House in every hold. The loot of every burial chest. Giant pile of every gem, gold amd silver ignots (and moonstone if that count) , every faction armor and heirloom, stalhrim , pile of dragonbones. And does dragonsouls have price. Also ariels bow and shiels and those giant egg like gems. Well we can keep goin on
So... becoming a Master alchemist and selling illicit substances to the people of Skyrim while evading the law? Because Ysolda is kinda that. Sleeping Tree Sap is a technically legal substance in Skyrim, and she's the only person who sells it (aside from those random encounter drug dealers).
I have a mod that allows you to make high grade skooma in cooking pots and I have a chest room that allows duplicates, i made a drug dealer character who supplies skooma only to people who seem kinda shady by like 300 bottle shipments, started out by just stashing everything in a sack in the ratway vaults (because it doesn’t reset) before moving in as a member of the fields guild, did the skooma quest with the vampire den and took over there I reckon I have about 25000 skooma bottles if not more stashed around Skyrim and I just bought the riften home so if I ever return to that playthrough then that’s certainly where my operation will be running from, for rp I used to run the skooma trade in cyrodil and they began taking down my huge network so I fled to Skyrim before I could be caught joined the thieves guild and swiftly set up my skooma operation under mavens nose. I know they’d get suspicious, so I keep 50 bottles of high grade skooma and 500 nightshade and moon sugar (ingredients) in a chest so they can see I’m making skooma but the majority of the product gets kept in the ratway vault, the crimson den and now my home, with barrel stashes around whiterun and solitude, I tried to make my character very paranoid because he’s recently got busted and he doesn’t trust anybody convinced there was a leak
(Divayth fyr) after you finish his part of the main quest line if you have enough potions of health absorb spell and reflect spell you can kill him and take his armor
When playing Elder Scrolls Daggerfall, I thought I was the King of the World...when I bought My first house. Only to be arrested 5 minuets later, when I tried to camp in My house. I learned real quick, I was NOT the King of anything.
Probably not the richest either, but I'd like to mention the Volkihar family, who are pretty obviously wealthy and if I remember correctly it's implied Serana is older than the septim dynasty. Would also say that maybe Knight Paladin Gelebor or his brother are the richest, because while technically they probably don't do business with anyone, they basically have the entire forgotten vale and legacy of the snow elves to themselves.
Janus Hassildor, Count of Skingrad. He just kept giving me infinite money when I completed his quest like it was nothing, which implies he has infinite money, I certainly never found the end of it.
The last Dragonborn, leader of the dark brotherhood, the thiefs guild, the collage in winterhold, the vampires/dawnguard, the companions... Knows all shouts, all magic, killed Aldui, Mirrak, Harkon, all dragon priests, countless dragons, owns every purchaseable property, had connections to countless rich people, etc etc... Owns all deadric Artifacts, knows all of the forbidden knowledge... Casually gives full enchanted legendary deadric armor to his followers.... And I am not even CLOSE to saying everything... And yeah, im talking about my dragonborn who has all skills maxed in skyrim. (I dont say that he is THE richest, cuse sadly you cant take over Tamriel in skyrim... Even tho my dragonborn is definitly more powerful than tiber septim.)
I love watching these videos with the head cannon that the Elder Scrolls Neloth somehow got into our reality, discovered technology, then took some and was sent back to Tamriel, starting a UA-cam channel lol

My hope for ES6 is that Bethsda will add more options for the MC to open a variety of bussinesses illegal and otherwise as well as upgrading the market system to allow for more localized price fluctuations and variations of quality and quantity. I think this would pad the stealth based gameplay by turning the Barter/Mercantile into something a little bit more lethal. In Morrowind and Skyrim the market system and bartering is kind of a flat experience. It really only serves to get you better deals on equipment. I like the Oblivion feature where you can invest in businesses but this only gives the merchants more barter gold for the MC to sell more things to them. It would be cool to own shops, inns/pubs, rental housing, farmland, skooma dens, burglery rings, mercenary companies, arenas and/or gambling establishments. I also think it would be cool to be able to effect economic policy in a town, county or hold as well as adding a political system. Something like the Skyrim civil war and the Morrowind Raven Rock questlines but in a more non-descript, radient quest style where the MC can run smear campaigns, affect laws, amass soldiers, build forts and towns, and take territory. This would make the speechcraft skills more central to stealth characters. A character who focuses more in stealth or magic would be able to get more access to allies for battle with out having to add illusion magic to a character build which would feasibly not use magic like a merchant, enforcer, smuggler, ect
The two astronauts with gun meme - The Coffer model in Legacy of the Dragonborn is a LotD original? Ice Cream Assassin, also in a space explorer outfit ""always has been" (shivs Nate with a Stahlrim spoon)
The finest clothes worn by Jarls are 50 gold a piece. I have 50k gold in a random chest in Breezehome at level 20. I am the richest person in Skyrim. I often have tens of thousands of coins worth of potions in my inventory at any given time.
It's actually my OC who was Tiber Septim's borther who actually did all of the things that tiber did but his brother took the credit so he actually had all the wealth and stuff and was super ocool.
"Maybe the real wealth was the friends we 'made' along the way." NO FYR! STOP! Belethor's probably not the richest, but he's up there. After The Last Dragonborn fucks off to (redacated by jills), Skyrim attempts to recover from mass inflation. Similar to Torasa Aram (Morrowind Artifact Museum) is really weathy. Until all the priceless artifacts are infused with the will of a thousand refrigerators and start running.
Actually, it's Jubal-lun-Sul. After the destruction of Nirn in the Fifth Age, his Ghost Hands allowed him to CHIM the hell out of reality, so even Orgnum's Coffer is meaningless before the guy that talked Numidium to death and wanked the Universe from beyond the fourth wall.
What about grandmaster Pl'a-yer who is able to influence time, life, death, and the material plane itself and is able to create infinite amounts of whatever is wanted, to such an extend that the world itself can cease to exist.
If one WERE to include elder scrolls protagonists, it could be done by just rating the wealth of the leaders of all the factions the protagonist CAN be the leader of, assuming the protagonist canonically does everything they can in the game, and then adding up all the totals and you get a starting point for their canonical wealth.
None of the skyrim npcs you mentioned should even be on this list? Even in Skyrim there are npcs that are far wealthier: Harkon, Paarthunax, Amaund Motierre, the Psijic monks (possibly the 2nd richest in nirn after getting the eye of magnus, but still extremely wealthy, only beaten by Tiber Septim in his ownership of the Numidium and heart of lorkhan). Also to be mentioned is Umbacano in Oblivion, the last Ayleid and Mankar Camoran owning his own plane of oblivion. Also the Ideal masters were mortals so rich and cunning that they stole their own pseudo godhood.
Zenithar probably saw Talos after the apotheosized and was like, "Dude..." But Mara was like, "We all saw what you did to Barenziah. Akatosh says your great great great great great great great grandson is totally gonna bang a Dark Elf named Katariah and have a son! And he's gonna be emperor! You d_ck!" And then Cassynder popped out as a human and Talos just had this huuuuuge grin on his face. Speaking of which... how the hell did the Mythic Dawn kill every single member of the Septim dynasty? They would've had to have killed all the Lariats too. There is no way Martin Septim was the last of the Septim bloodline. Nor is there any possibility of the Last Dragonborn being the last dragonborn. It's just impossible. And yet apparently no relatives of the Septims ever stepped up to claim the Ruby Throne.
The Psijic Order is the richest organization. The empires coffers pales to contents of the Vault of Maowita. The Vault of Maowita contains an enough artifacts to undo Aetherius. Some of the artifacts are Daedric in origin and some come from Sloads, Maomer, or even Tamriel itself. I speculate they also have an Elder Scroll just because they can. Not to mention they also can create magical items.
I was about to say that Titus Mede II was the richest of the Fourth Era, but realized that he and the Empire are probably deeply in debt after the Great War. It's a shame. He's not really that bad a guy.
I was waiting for mention of King Helseth but other than that when it comes to pre-Skyrim characters everyone on my guess list was there and I think number one is dead on
Hear me out… Lord Harkon at some point owned two elder scrolls and was gunning for a third. I’m not sure how valuable the physical constructs of space time are, bit I feel like it might be a non-insignificant number.
Pretty sure it’s Nazeem. It takes a lot of wealth to make it to the cloud district as often as he does.

The actual verse says the love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself, and the majority of people who love to say money is the root of all evil tend to be anti-Christianity and anti-bible
I actually think the Empire making Maven interim jarl of Riften is a good idea IF they play their cards right. While she's an official position of power, there is going to be a LOT of paperwork and a LOT of non-business matters she'll have to take care of. She'd essentially be working two jobs. This means she's more likely to slip up somewhere. To write her secrets onto Imperial paper.
It also allows the Empire a means to double-puppet her. By puppeteering Elisif as High Queen to ask things of Maven, who would be reluctantly subservient to Elisif as her liege.
Hail Sithis!

THERE WE GO, THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MR. LOTH.
Definetely Tiber Septim, bro has the Skyrin currency as his surname 🙏
thing about nords loving mead, they love mead because it's dirt cheap, not because it's good alcohol
It is pretty good though, in case you never drank any.
To put into perspective just how valuable daedric armor was in Morrowind: in the base game, the literal only way to get a full set of daedric armor was to kill Divayth Fyr. In the first and second DLCs they put a left shoulder pad and right shoulder pad just in two completely random spots so you could get the full set without killing an essential NPC (in 3 you could kill essential NPCs, but the game would tell you after "hey, that guy was important, if you don't revert save right now your file will be fucked up"). So the literal only way to get a full set was to ruin your save file.
If we take the… silly little book known as the Sonni-etta as somewhat cannon (if forum posts by past devs count that is) Reman had the Amulet of kings in his forehead and could use his man milk to bake bread. So I think that counts as a form of wealth
I think this answers why we wouldn't take it seriously

No the count needs food. The Orc Butler says his meals need special preparations.
I’d need to look more into it, but the special preparation could be preparing a human for getting sucked lol
@@masterneloth I think the Orc Butler is oblivios to the counts conditon. He would not bring that up to a stranger. Also its not said that in lore vampires don't eat also normal food. Evidence is also Vicente Valteris complaint about Marie Antoinettes cooking with garlic. So maybe only true blooded vampires can live without food or Serana was in magical coma.
@@saxogrammatikus4195 It might just be NPC game mechanics, but I've seen Serana chowing down on a loaf of bread.
@@mikeynth7919idk, as bad a rep Bethesda gets, their attention to minute details in all their games would lead me to believe Serena wouldn't use the eating bread animation if, in lore, she doesn't need to eat
@@mikeynth7919 might as well be that she enjoys eating bread, even if it doesn't give her any sustenance.
I am the richest. I ask Elenwen when we were in morrowind for a small loan of 1millon spetims. When the hero of kavatch came knocking in chorrol. I had him send my paument, in tripple, back to Elenwen in skyrim so she could build the embassy outside solitude.
The best part is Elenwen maid the nords pay for it in the end and we split the Spetims between both of us.
Orgnum's coffer also magically returns to him eventually
Nice video. I really enjoyed it ^^
Also... I had an idea for another one. You did videos about the strongest vampires and werewolves. What about video about the strongest monster hunter?
Shut up its Geralt of Rivia The butcher of Bsthican
That could be a good potential one, although funding contenders outside of Isran might prove difficult lol
@@masterneloth I can think about few more already. Like Mel Adrys or Gloria Fausta. Also Movarth was an vampire hunter before he was transformed into one
0:00 EXCLUDING THE DRAGONBORN I'd say Maven Black-Briar
i would say Neloth Telvanni during the 4th era specifically since he is one of the few if not the only one who during the 4th era who can make magic staffs of high quality and its likely anyone who uses a magic staff in skyrim is probably holding a Neloth piece except the ones found in ancient nord tombs and Neloth canonically has collected massive numbers of ancient and valuable staffs including sanguins rose and skull of corruption at one point and probably even now and then sells valuable staffs he doesn't need, he also happens to be a grandmaster in the house with a mouth living in the Telvanni coast, and its very likely he has made very exquisite staffs on commission for very wealthy people throughout tamriel during his time
He is also a very talented and skilled master enchanter. And no doubt would in time create some very powerful artifacts of his own, especially if his life-extending heartstone research goes anywhere.
@@videocrowsnest5251 exactly so he probably has a pretty strong enchanting business to fund his research, he is responsible for 90% of the staffs we find on bandits and magic users and probably has a very select cliantel for his top shelf staffs. it wouldn't surprise me if he simply ships his staffs off to morrowind, cyrodiil through portals or even teleportation spells for income (and enchanted items including some staffs can be very expensive) and being one of the heads of the house he probably is swimming in personal wealth just by being on the councel of house Telvanni and being of the Telvanni family of said house and being a descendent of the house's founder, he probably also has a massive amount of wealth he also inherited and in morrowind he also had investments
we can rule out the emperor Titus Meade II, and the Jarls since the empire is in decline and in lore this has greatly affected Skyrim's Economy as well as specific members of Jarl Elesif's thanes. Neloth and his skill and reputation he would have a lot of gold to fund his experiemnts just by selling staffs and enchanted goods as well as commissions for enchanting specific items which would fetch a high price also he probably takes a cut from his apprentice's sales of rare spell tomes. if you break down all the known investments of House Telvanni Neloth being from the Telvanni family and decendent of its founder. also Neloth has in the past been in the trade of buying and selling Dwemer items and relics.
Neloth Telvanni is the best candidate for being the richest in all of tamriel because of the fact he is the head of the Telvanni council and of the core Telvanni family, he is a master enchanter and presumably been enchanting and selling enchanted items for 200 years or more is interest in buying and selling dwarven artifacts for the last 200 years, he is very likely very wealthy by the 4th era
@@fangslore9988 he clearly is at the very top towards the early 3rd century of the 4th era
@@HappyBeezerStudios yeah, i would assume most staffs would be either be a Neloth or a replication of his staff enchanting techniques. it wouldn't surprise me if the most of the most powerful mages use a Neloth rather than a poorly made staff so he likely has a monopoly on their sales so mr. Neloth Telvanni, i solute you and your ability to gain a monopoly on staff creation and sales through out the empire and morrowind. i wouldn't be surprised if his Mouth was running the sales part in morrowind as a side buisness while representing Neloth in the Telvanni council, his name does carry a lot of weight as if i remember right he is the head house Telvanni since the nereverine appeared
The last dragonborn ofcourse. Having daedric artifacts. House in every hold. The loot of every burial chest. Giant pile of every gem, gold amd silver ignots (and moonstone if that count) , every faction armor and heirloom, stalhrim , pile of dragonbones.
And does dragonsouls have price.
Also ariels bow and shiels and those giant egg like gems. Well we can keep goin on
Not gonna lie master neloth. You make my day every nightp. I put your video on and the soothing voice lulls me to sleep!
Does anyone ever think about recreating the legacy of Breaking Bad and Walter White in Elder Scrolls?
So... becoming a Master alchemist and selling illicit substances to the people of Skyrim while evading the law? Because Ysolda is kinda that. Sleeping Tree Sap is a technically legal substance in Skyrim, and she's the only person who sells it (aside from those random encounter drug dealers).
I have a mod that allows you to make high grade skooma in cooking pots and I have a chest room that allows duplicates, i made a drug dealer character who supplies skooma only to people who seem kinda shady by like 300 bottle shipments, started out by just stashing everything in a sack in the ratway vaults (because it doesn’t reset) before moving in as a member of the fields guild, did the skooma quest with the vampire den and took over there I reckon I have about 25000 skooma bottles if not more stashed around Skyrim and I just bought the riften home so if I ever return to that playthrough then that’s certainly where my operation will be running from, for rp I used to run the skooma trade in cyrodil and they began taking down my huge network so I fled to Skyrim before I could be caught joined the thieves guild and swiftly set up my skooma operation under mavens nose. I know they’d get suspicious, so I keep 50 bottles of high grade skooma and 500 nightshade and moon sugar (ingredients) in a chest so they can see I’m making skooma but the majority of the product gets kept in the ratway vault, the crimson den and now my home, with barrel stashes around whiterun and solitude, I tried to make my character very paranoid because he’s recently got busted and he doesn’t trust anybody convinced there was a leak
(Divayth fyr) after you finish his part of the main quest line if you have enough potions of health absorb spell and reflect spell you can kill him and take his armor
I know I'm late to this party, but this was a fun video. Thanks, UA-cam algorithm. This is actually the kind of content I want.
When playing Elder Scrolls Daggerfall, I thought I was the King of the World...when I bought My first house. Only to be arrested 5 minuets later, when I tried to camp in My house. I learned real quick, I was NOT the King of anything.
Probably not the richest either, but I'd like to mention the Volkihar family, who are pretty obviously wealthy and if I remember correctly it's implied Serana is older than the septim dynasty. Would also say that maybe Knight Paladin Gelebor or his brother are the richest, because while technically they probably don't do business with anyone, they basically have the entire forgotten vale and legacy of the snow elves to themselves.
As an Imperial fan, I can confirm that Tiber Septim was an asshole.
These style of videos are amazing and very very interesting. 👏
Another note to Talos, Talos is 3 people. Tiber Septim is 1/3 of Talos
Janus Hassildor, Count of Skingrad. He just kept giving me infinite money when I completed his quest like it was nothing, which implies he has infinite money, I certainly never found the end of it.
so that is where the chest of infinite gold ended up
Interesting idea for a video my man!
Nazeem, he owns chillfurrow farm, very successful business, obviously.
Love these type of videos!
The last Dragonborn, leader of the dark brotherhood, the thiefs guild, the collage in winterhold, the vampires/dawnguard, the companions... Knows all shouts, all magic, killed Aldui, Mirrak, Harkon, all dragon priests, countless dragons, owns every purchaseable property, had connections to countless rich people, etc etc... Owns all deadric Artifacts, knows all of the forbidden knowledge... Casually gives full enchanted legendary deadric armor to his followers.... And I am not even CLOSE to saying everything... And yeah, im talking about my dragonborn who has all skills maxed in skyrim.
(I dont say that he is THE richest, cuse sadly you cant take over Tamriel in skyrim... Even tho my dragonborn is definitly more powerful than tiber septim.)
I liked this video on the qui gon reference alone lol
I like that you played ARENA MUSIC in the outro.
I love watching these videos with the head cannon that the Elder Scrolls Neloth somehow got into our reality, discovered technology, then took some and was sent back to Tamriel, starting a UA-cam channel lol

Thonar Silverblood?
He has a whole city and they listen like robots?
My hope for ES6 is that Bethsda will add more options for the MC to open a variety of bussinesses illegal and otherwise as well as upgrading the market system to allow for more localized price fluctuations and variations of quality and quantity. I think this would pad the stealth based gameplay by turning the Barter/Mercantile into something a little bit more lethal. In Morrowind and Skyrim the market system and bartering is kind of a flat experience. It really only serves to get you better deals on equipment. I like the Oblivion feature where you can invest in businesses but this only gives the merchants more barter gold for the MC to sell more things to them. It would be cool to own shops, inns/pubs, rental housing, farmland, skooma dens, burglery rings, mercenary companies, arenas and/or gambling establishments. I also think it would be cool to be able to effect economic policy in a town, county or hold as well as adding a political system. Something like the Skyrim civil war and the Morrowind Raven Rock questlines but in a more non-descript, radient quest style where the MC can run smear campaigns, affect laws, amass soldiers, build forts and towns, and take territory. This would make the speechcraft skills more central to stealth characters. A character who focuses more in stealth or magic would be able to get more access to allies for battle with out having to add illusion magic to a character build which would feasibly not use magic like a merchant, enforcer, smuggler, ect

Great video. Good job
Your videos are pretty good, congrats dude
The finest clothes worn by Jarls are 50 gold a piece. I have 50k gold in a random chest in Breezehome at level 20. I am the richest person in Skyrim. I often have tens of thousands of coins worth of potions in my inventory at any given time.
It's actually my OC who was Tiber Septim's borther who actually did all of the things that tiber did but his brother took the credit so he actually had all the wealth and stuff and was super ocool.
let me guess, John Septim, who was Tiber Septim's brother, was also very humble, fought against zombie ghosts, and had to kill but magic too slow?
@@HappyBeezerStudios That sounds like Aragorn.
the only reason vedam dren is an honorable mention is for two reasons. haha. love it
"Maybe the real wealth was the friends we 'made' along the way."
NO FYR! STOP!
Belethor's probably not the richest, but he's up there. After The Last Dragonborn fucks off to (redacated by jills), Skyrim attempts to recover from mass inflation. Similar to Torasa Aram (Morrowind Artifact Museum) is really weathy. Until all the priceless artifacts are infused with the will of a thousand refrigerators and start running.
Incredible, my jaw dropped when i heard about king orgnum
You missed the count of skingrad is killed after found out he was a vampire.
It's whoever the hell is getting all those guild trader fees.
This must reference ESO..
I assumed it'd be Urbul gro-Orkulg, who I always sold my goods to.
Can you do one with the greatest witches?
Someday… maybe… 😏

That skamp in caldera is doing pretty good
this guy sounds like a more animated jesse eisenberg
The dragonborn has amassed several homes, rare artifacts, dragon masks, daedric armour, and most importantly aela the huntress, oooooweeeeee
Obviously its the Nerevarine after selling all that dark brotherhood armor to creeper in Caldera
Actually, it's Jubal-lun-Sul. After the destruction of Nirn in the Fifth Age, his Ghost Hands allowed him to CHIM the hell out of reality, so even Orgnum's Coffer is meaningless before the guy that talked Numidium to death and wanked the Universe from beyond the fourth wall.
What about grandmaster Pl'a-yer who is able to influence time, life, death, and the material plane itself and is able to create infinite amounts of whatever is wanted, to such an extend that the world itself can cease to exist.
If one WERE to include elder scrolls protagonists, it could be done by just rating the wealth of the leaders of all the factions the protagonist CAN be the leader of, assuming the protagonist canonically does everything they can in the game, and then adding up all the totals and you get a starting point for their canonical wealth.
None of the skyrim npcs you mentioned should even be on this list? Even in Skyrim there are npcs that are far wealthier: Harkon, Paarthunax, Amaund Motierre, the Psijic monks (possibly the 2nd richest in nirn after getting the eye of magnus, but still extremely wealthy, only beaten by Tiber Septim in his ownership of the Numidium and heart of lorkhan). Also to be mentioned is Umbacano in Oblivion, the last Ayleid and Mankar Camoran owning his own plane of oblivion.
Also the Ideal masters were mortals so rich and cunning that they stole their own pseudo godhood.

King Orgnum's Inflationary Coffer!

i love your content, oh dear master neloth. please keep using your knowledge to upload on youtube somehow!!
Zenithar probably saw Talos after the apotheosized and was like, "Dude..."
But Mara was like, "We all saw what you did to Barenziah. Akatosh says your great great great great great great great grandson is totally gonna bang a Dark Elf named Katariah and have a son! And he's gonna be emperor! You d_ck!"
And then Cassynder popped out as a human and Talos just had this huuuuuge grin on his face.
Speaking of which... how the hell did the Mythic Dawn kill every single member of the Septim dynasty? They would've had to have killed all the Lariats too. There is no way Martin Septim was the last of the Septim bloodline. Nor is there any possibility of the Last Dragonborn being the last dragonborn. It's just impossible. And yet apparently no relatives of the Septims ever stepped up to claim the Ruby Throne.
I already know who it is Neloth after he showed that money making guide.
The Psijic Order is the richest organization. The empires coffers pales to contents of the Vault of Maowita.
The Vault of Maowita contains an enough artifacts to undo Aetherius. Some of the artifacts are Daedric in origin and some come from Sloads, Maomer, or even Tamriel itself. I speculate they also have an Elder Scroll just because they can. Not to mention they also can create magical items.
I was about to say that Titus Mede II was the richest of the Fourth Era, but realized that he and the Empire are probably deeply in debt after the Great War. It's a shame. He's not really that bad a guy.
considering the currency of skyrim is named after tiber septim it only makes sense
I was waiting for mention of King Helseth but other than that when it comes to pre-Skyrim characters everyone on my guess list was there and I think number one is dead on
all you had to say was that septim has a currency named after him
Hear me out… Lord Harkon at some point owned two elder scrolls and was gunning for a third. I’m not sure how valuable the physical constructs of space time are, bit I feel like it might be a non-insignificant number.
