Serana has a unique line of dialogue when you approach dwemer ruins where she'll say something along the lines of "This was a dwarven city, hard to believe they'd let it fall into this state.." inclining one to believe she was alive when there were still dwemer in Tamriel.
She was sealed in the 2nd Era, before they had gone missing, or just after. She lived in isolation, and may not have known when they disappeared, but she definitely lived when the Dwemer were still around.

7:39 "Movarth Piquine is a vampire with a randomly generated appearance": this is true only in vanilla Skyrim, if you have Dawnguard installed he will always look like a bald guy
The most horrible vampire in Tamreial: Player. The last dragonborn, Arch mage, leader of companions, Listener of Dark brotherhood, the one himself who killed the emperor, the one himself who killed Alduin.
Honestly, Hert and Hern are two of the most interesting because they have an actual business in Skyrim. Yeah, they obviously feed on travellers but they still have a pretty normal life, all things considered, especially because they're a married couple. They don't dress in black, constantly seek to create hives of thralls - they just own a Mill. I don't know if they're doing it as a ploy or they do genuinely love that simple life and only use their vampiric powers when they have to but I wish there was so much more with them. I find them such intriguing and mysterious characters.
@@clothar23 yeah as long as you get the armor effect from full dawnguard all vampires are immediately hostile for some reason the only exceptions are serana and the court mages of solitude.
Nerdy- -Kat129 my vid is struggling to load so haven't watch it yet but I think that the trapdoor is part of a mod. I believe u do a quesy with some people from interesting NPCs in there
That door and the cave is base game content. What's intriguing is the two surviving vampires(the third was either food or a vampire that died in transit) are always female. They might be prospective brides for Movarth's clan or the Volkihar. But now they have a little lair of their own to work from.
Dengeir’s relative IS a Volkihar and this is actually confirmed. I went to Bloodlet Throne without being given the quest (until I saw this video I didn’t know there was a quest), and if you don’t have the quest, the vampire sitting in the throne at the end is simply identified as “Volkihar vampire.” And I didn’t have Dawnguard installed at the time, so you can bet I was a little confused! So there you are, sir, your theory is correct.
yeah, it's not even that far-fetched. the volkihar clan has been around forever. i'm actually shocked there aren't more offshoots of the clan all around skyrim.
Many years ago when I had the legendary edition for ps3 I would play without the add ons and still get Volkihar Vampires and Gargoyles to spawn on occasion west of Solitude
Nate: Top 5 vampires you should AVOID Also Nate: I wish we had more of Vyrther, he held a special little place in my heart. Anyway, he's number one on that list
Something that supports the theory about the original Volkihar vampires is that Bloodlet Throne is the only location in the vanilla game where you can find Volkihar vampires before the Dawnguard DLC.
They problably stayed in Falkreath because they refuse to change the ways of living, and that old vampyr buried became their ruler whem the true Volk left.
Some details you might not have covered: -The Oghma Infinium's cover is made from a patchwork of elven flesh -In the Forgotten Vale, beside the frozen lake with the hidden dragon battle, are two skeletons. One has a sword in its ribcage and the other is clutching to resist fire potions -Foxes lead the player to places of interest
Yeah Harkon's a bit of a dumbass, so I always go out of my way to not avoid him, and kill him as soon as possible. Even If we could side with him, I wouldn't. He's just not much of a thinker, and only would have gotten Vampires wiped out had he succeeded. You ever wonder why his Daedric Lord was remarkably silent on the whole plot to end the sun thing? Why he seemed fine with you becoming a Vampire Lord and doing nothing to help Harkon at all? There you go, because he knew Harkon was wrong and needed to die.
Fallout 76 and tes blades arent main fallout and tes games. They know less people are going to buy them so they need other ways to get profit on the budget of those games
In Shriekwind Bastion, another vampire lair, there's an alcove in a certain room with a lot of various boots and shoes that puts Movarth's collection to shame. I wonder if it's a vampire thing?
Shoes are relatively small, useful to keep around, and are a very personal item to take from a victim. Shoes are a common item collected by serial killers. Its a trophy thing. Like how humans collect bunny feets and antlers from our own prey. And how the more ancient peoples of earth/old fashioned tribal people like native americans today use hooves as colletion items or instruments.
If you do a part two... you HAVE to talk about Babette... i mean she's on of like 3 characters i hope to meet in ES6 (likely as the head of the Dark Brotherhood)
It's very possible. For one, vampires don't age. She was old when the Oblivion Crisis occurred. She's also one of the two survivors of the Penitus Oculatus attack near the end of the DB questline. If you chose to destroy the Dark Brotherhood yourself, she's nowhere to be found in the Sanctuary.
The Volkihar theory is also supported by the fact that if you approach Bloodlet throne before you get the quest, there is a "Volkihar Vampire Master" or something to that end as a replacement for Vighar.
Bloodletting Throne is the OG fort of Harkon, He was a noble from Falkreath and after the ritual with Molag Bal he started his Volkhar clan there... after some time he moved to the island we know as Volkhar Castle, His inner circle followed him, but some rebels refused and stayed in the fort with Vighar as his leader. That's why in "immortal blood" they talk about the "under the ice Volkhar", the ones in the Bloodlet fort are the only ones know for society. The Originals Harkon Volkhar stayed hidden until the events of the Dawnguard DLC. And the Bloodlet fort vampires get almost exterminated by the old dawnguard, who couldn't kill Vighar because he's a Vampire lord (gifted by Harkon) so they sealed Vighar.... That's my headcannon interpretation.
@@zereaper13 It's just not fair. It seems a little silly, but for whatever reason she was one of my favorite characters for as short a time as she showed up.
@@Riverwind5 Yes, if you go back to the Soul Cairn and tell her that Harkon is dead, she'll actually leave the Soul Cairn and return to Castle Volkihar.
It is explained how Vyrthur got turned into a vampire, he tells Serana himself. One of his initiates (some kind of apprentice priest or something) was apparently a vampire. He probably made the water jug pilgrimage, like you did, which granted him the audience with the Arch-Curate, as Gelebor tells you. And then he probably attacked and thus infected Vyrthur. For someone who makes a lot of videos about "tiny details" you sure forget about some not so tiny ones.
Doesn't that deny you the ability to loot his unique armour ? Or at least add a bitch of needle in a haystack hunt element to looting his unique armour ?
Cool idea for a mod: the redemption of Movarth. Cure him of his vampiric nature, and restore his glory as a hunter once more! Could be a cool add on to dawnguard. "These vampires, they're too strong. We need something to turn the tide. " " It's time to restore Movarth."
Actually, when talking to the Arch Curate, he will say that one of the acolytes who just completed the walk through the forgotten vale approached him like any other acolyte, and then out of nowhere attacked him, turning the Arch Curate into a vampire
... i feel like you missed a bit about Vyrthur... i remember reading or hearing from an npc in the game, (likely gelebor) that one of the acolytes underneath him was a vampire, and that's how he ended up being infected.
If you do another vampire vid, try to delve into Sybille Stentor's background. If there's any lore about where she came from and how she gained her position in Solitude, it would be fascinating.
The most interesting vampire in Skyrim is definitely that Khajiit one. You know? The one that comes from Elsweyr, trying to illegally cross the border, and then discovers that has dragon blood and a prophecy regarding the very end of time revolves around him.
@Philip Dawn probably because it's his style. Fudgemuppet do a more immersive and relaxing type of delivery. I usually feel sleepy in their videos because of the chill theme and soft music playing in the background.
(4:00) What if Vigalmo is not a High Elf, but a Snow Elf? What if he's the one who turned Arch-Curate Vyrthur? We don't have the specifics of how Vyrthur was turned. (15:30) It would take powerful blood to turn a priest into a vampire. Just touching a shrine will cure Sanguinare Vampiris, so someone turned him instantly, like someone of the Volkihar bloodline.
Uuuuuh.... Nate, I think you might have missed something. Vighar does actually speak during this. It might not happen in the Vanilla game, but I run with the mod "Cutting room floor" which might have added his dialogue back in. Anyway, when you get up close to him, the vampire woman beside him will say something like, "Intruders, my Lord," to which Vighar replies, "Hold, my dear. Let the dogs take care of it." To which the wolves are released from their cage. I know it has little bearing on the rest of the theory, but this interaction is rather interesting, as it shows that there might be some familiarity between Vighar and his clanswoman. Perhaps she was even the one who dug him up?
So many possibilities in this DLC... You could have made the Forgotten Vale a vampire colony under Vythur, or a human one under Gelebor; then maybe get a quest from the Academy or Cancelmo to ear some Dwemer backstory; then maybe find where some other surviving Snow Elves went... I mean, you really find almost nothing of that culture, it's just Falmer everywhere. It's been really disappointing to get a disposable location which was that cool!
Hes not Akatosh. Auri El origin is entirely different. He was once a mortal, an elven king who ascended and teaches all elven kind to follow his steps to godhood. To become like they were in the beginning. Same with Syrabane, Xarxes, Arkay, Jephre. Mara is his wife so he can't be a "she". Nate maybe got confused because princes like Mephala, Molag Bal, Boethia and others are know for take different forms and genders.
@@MrChristophSteininge With the Deadra is pretty explicit they are almost all both male and female, but Auriel is more like a Divine, I thought they had a more defined gender, than the Daedra.
Serana was trapped about 4000 years ago so it is clear that Vingalmo is at least 4000 years old. I also looked up to learn about his past since he is really interesting.
Can we believe that this game was done in 2011...yet, it is still very much interresting to find out about it's lore. Books found in the game can basically be 'research' to find out certain truth behind characters, story events, and so on... I know Bethesda is screwing up big time in recent years, but man, just listening to you talking about Skyrim lore, just make me want to play it again... which i already did so many times already, i just cannot support talking to Balgruff anymore... yet, this game is just the most amazingly deep piece of life stealer out there... Your video are so interresting, your nice narration is always cool and on point, and the way you show the Skyrim world as if a real movie, documentory i should say, just make it more easy to watch. GREAT WORK!, you deserve it! And thank you.
My theory about the bloodlet throne vs Castle Volkihar is that both are clan volkihar, with Harkon ruling from the clans original Stronghold after conquering its original inhabitants, since his take over the clan split and now has two branches. One follows Harkon, a vampire of pure blood from Molag Bal, and the other is at Bloodlet throne, being descended from Lamae Bal herself as ALL vampire clans come from her blood. Harkon also was probably part of the Gray Host given his age, and Serana even hints that she predates the Cyrodilic empire as she doesnt know that Cyrodil is the seat of power, so she at the least predates Tiber Septim, and the most predates Reman Cyrodil himself.
I’ve got this personal theory/head canon that makes no sense but Vingalmo is a snow elf that found a way to disguise himself as a High Elf so the Nords and/or Dwemer couldn’t find him, maybe with a permanent illusion spell. I’m sure there’s a million ways to disprove it but idk I always felt like it fit with the theory that he wrote Night of Tears
i noticed that if you approach Garen after bringing Serana back to Harkon upon first entry,. and if your a vampire, Garen tells you to present yourself to Lord Harkon at once. Like he was expecting you. At least thats how it seemed to me. I noticed that every where i traveled thats a cave of dungeon, a swarm of BATS flies away and in the direction of Castle Volkihar. I think Garen is aware of what i was doing, since he seems to keep track of the Dragonborn.
@@frogman72davitto94 Which glitches and crashes the game if you even attempt to turn more than a few npcs into actual vampires ( i.e turn on the race change option ) . Hell even creating more than a couple of thralls can do funny things to the game.

6:54, haha, love the Skyrim-shaped censors in the text XD
That's actually because of the font he's using. The same symbol shows up in my game to replace the "$" dollar sign.
Cool idea for a mod: the redemption of Movarth. Cure him of his vampiric nature, and restore his glory as a hunter once more! Could be a cool add on to dawnguard.
"These vampires, they're too strong. We need something to turn the tide. "
" It's time to restore Movarth."
Actually, when talking to the Arch Curate, he will say that one of the acolytes who just completed the walk through the forgotten vale approached him like any other acolyte, and then out of nowhere attacked him, turning the Arch Curate into a vampire
... i feel like you missed a bit about Vyrthur... i remember reading or hearing from an npc in the game, (likely gelebor) that one of the acolytes underneath him was a vampire, and that's how he ended up being infected.
I agree with you, Vyrther was way more interesting and after the Dawnguard questline, I felt there could have been more done with him.
If you do another vampire vid, try to delve into Sybille Stentor's background. If there's any lore about where she came from and how she gained her position in Solitude, it would be fascinating.
Headcannon....
She was one of the Potema's generals but she survived and manipulates the Solitude royal family.
Nate: Top 5 Vampires to avoid
Skyrim Players: Top 5 Vampire targets to test my skills against
Hey, Nate... Arch-Curate Vyrthur explains that one of his students were vampires and they infected him with vampirism!
The most interesting vampire in Skyrim is definitely that Khajiit one.
You know?
The one that comes from Elsweyr, trying to illegally cross the border, and then discovers that has dragon blood and a prophecy regarding the very end of time revolves around him.
Day four of asking fudgemuppe- wait wrong channel...
@Philip Dawn probably because it's his style. Fudgemuppet do a more immersive and relaxing type of delivery. I usually feel sleepy in their videos because of the chill theme and soft music playing in the background.
(4:00) What if Vigalmo is not a High Elf, but a Snow Elf? What if he's the one who turned Arch-Curate Vyrthur? We don't have the specifics of how Vyrthur was turned.
(15:30) It would take powerful blood to turn a priest into a vampire. Just touching a shrine will cure Sanguinare Vampiris, so someone turned him instantly, like someone of the Volkihar bloodline.
Nate: "Top 5 Vampires to avoid"
Me, a Dawnguard member:
- Thanks for making a hit list.
Uuuuuh.... Nate, I think you might have missed something. Vighar does actually speak during this. It might not happen in the Vanilla game, but I run with the mod "Cutting room floor" which might have added his dialogue back in. Anyway, when you get up close to him, the vampire woman beside him will say something like, "Intruders, my Lord," to which Vighar replies, "Hold, my dear. Let the dogs take care of it." To which the wolves are released from their cage. I know it has little bearing on the rest of the theory, but this interaction is rather interesting, as it shows that there might be some familiarity between Vighar and his clanswoman. Perhaps she was even the one who dug him up?
I love how the one vamp in Dimhollow Crypt thinks he can get Vingalmo’s/Orthjolf’s spot. Good luck with that buddy.
If you do another video you should mention Babette. She is the undead embodiment of “ The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing “.
I never knew about the quest from Dengeir. This game is so big, I learn something knew all the time!
I wish vampires in vanilla skyrim had a more melee class leaning. I wouldn't have minded playing a vampiric redguard warrior.
Or you know give vampires CLAWS
Blade???
@@miguelnb1585 Why should they have claws in their normal form? They aren't Khajiits.
huh? skyrim is easiest when you are a melee character. two enchanted dragonbone daggers will make short work of everything.
I never miss your vids. Thanks for the tips to spice up the game!
Last time I was this early, Talos was still mortal!
Ah double Elder Scrolls Vampire videos in a day by the ES community, pleaasssinngggg XX
You should start doing character highlights, like explaining the backstory, motivations, and their story (however small) that takes place in skyrim :)
One thing I dig about Valerica is that, once Harkon is gone, she actually seems peaceful toward the Dragonborn.
Me: Can you please load like a normal video?
This video: 3 seconds, take it or leave it
Butter Baron
Me too.
So many possibilities in this DLC... You could have made the Forgotten Vale a vampire colony under Vythur, or a human one under Gelebor; then maybe get a quest from the Academy or Cancelmo to ear some Dwemer backstory; then maybe find where some other surviving Snow Elves went... I mean, you really find almost nothing of that culture, it's just Falmer everywhere. It's been really disappointing to get a disposable location which was that cool!
"She"? Always thought Auriel was a male.
@Oryx The taken king That's what made me think that...
Hes not Akatosh. Auri El origin is entirely different. He was once a mortal, an elven king who ascended and teaches all elven kind to follow his steps to godhood. To become like they were in the beginning.
Same with Syrabane, Xarxes, Arkay, Jephre. Mara is his wife so he can't be a "she".
Nate maybe got confused because princes like Mephala, Molag Bal, Boethia and others are know for take different forms and genders.
even Vivecs gender was not entirely fixed. And the game speaks of "daedric lords" even if they are decidedly female!
@@MrChristophSteininge With the Deadra is pretty explicit they are almost all both male and female, but Auriel is more like a Divine, I thought they had a more defined gender, than the Daedra.
@@evilkate9884 Wait so the bastard is basically a elven Talos ? Bloody hypocritical Thalmor.
YOUR VOICE IS GETTING BETTER BUT IT'S STILL PRETTY GODDAMN UNBEARABLE
WE BELIEVE IN YOU NATE, KEEP IMPROVING
Serana was trapped about 4000 years ago so it is clear that Vingalmo is at least 4000 years old. I also looked up to learn about his past since he is really interesting.
I expected most of the obvious vampires from the game but you found a way to show unique and intresting ones great job!
My theory is that the Bloodlet Throne vampires are/were part of Volkihar Clan, and are the only known ones to the writer/writers of Immortal Blood.
this video released on my birthday. best present, thank you.
0:20 why are Neloth’s cheekbones so A G G R E S S I V E
Can we believe that this game was done in 2011...yet, it is still very much interresting to find out about it's lore. Books found in the game can basically be 'research' to find out certain truth behind characters, story events, and so on... I know Bethesda is screwing up big time in recent years, but man, just listening to you talking about Skyrim lore, just make me want to play it again... which i already did so many times already, i just cannot support talking to Balgruff anymore... yet, this game is just the most amazingly deep piece of life stealer out there... Your video are so interresting, your nice narration is always cool and on point, and the way you show the Skyrim world as if a real movie, documentory i should say, just make it more easy to watch. GREAT WORK!, you deserve it! And thank you.
What is it
What is it
Yes?
Yes?
Done and done
Where you come from
Me:........
My theory about the bloodlet throne vs Castle Volkihar is that both are clan volkihar, with Harkon ruling from the clans original Stronghold after conquering its original inhabitants, since his take over the clan split and now has two branches. One follows Harkon, a vampire of pure blood from Molag Bal, and the other is at Bloodlet throne, being descended from Lamae Bal herself as ALL vampire clans come from her blood. Harkon also was probably part of the Gray Host given his age, and Serana even hints that she predates the Cyrodilic empire as she doesnt know that Cyrodil is the seat of power, so she at the least predates Tiber Septim, and the most predates Reman Cyrodil himself.
Nate will have content for centuries with how gargantuan Skyrim is.
Eventually he'll be doing Skyrim fo4 and tes6!
I’ve got this personal theory/head canon that makes no sense but Vingalmo is a snow elf that found a way to disguise himself as a High Elf so the Nords and/or Dwemer couldn’t find him, maybe with a permanent illusion spell. I’m sure there’s a million ways to disprove it but idk I always felt like it fit with the theory that he wrote Night of Tears
Do a separate video about the volkihar clan if you haven't already
Nate, I always look forward to your videos, thank you so much.
Last time is listened to this I couldn't marry Serana, so I'm going to pass
That's what mods are made for.
I'm gunna talk about that chill music you use to play during the outro until you use it as a throwback to sooth my aches of nostalgic epicnate videos.
Even though the length of your videos set me aside at first, I always get hooked on to them and watch till the end.
i noticed that if you approach Garen after bringing Serana back to Harkon upon first entry,. and if your a vampire, Garen tells you to present yourself to Lord Harkon at once. Like he was expecting you. At least thats how it seemed to me. I noticed that every where i traveled thats a cave of dungeon, a swarm of BATS flies away and in the direction of Castle Volkihar.
I think Garen is aware of what i was doing, since he seems to keep track of the Dragonborn.

Man I miss this game, soon as I get my PC rebuilt I’m taking a trip back to Tamriel
Oops almost didn’t see the NOTIFICATION through the Elder Scrolls Blades, but luckily it crashed
IKR. That shit always keeps crashing.
Luke Hemry underrated comment
_River I don’t know what to put for a Last Name_ thanks lol
Thanks for showing my mother in law as the thumbnail, Nate... I'm sure she will appreciate that.
Imagine if there was a mod that had you infect all of skyrim (or at least a hold)with vampirism.
There is. Better Vampires
@@frogman72davitto94 Which glitches and crashes the game if you even attempt to turn more than a few npcs into actual vampires ( i.e turn on the race change option ) . Hell even creating more than a couple of thralls can do funny things to the game.
I always watch his videos to see what quests I might've missed but kept forgetting that he also tells you what exactly happened to those quests making the experience less if not at all enjoyable lol
I can’t wait to not listen to you and go after them 😂
Oh, I was hoping Sybille Stentor (court wizard blue palace) would make the list, she is one of my favorite characters overall and by far my favorite vampire in skyrim. But the list was really good anyways.
Just a warning if it has fangs but limps towards you, it's not a vampire!
Now i have a big hole in my nec.........BRAINS!!!.AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!
Vighar is the original Volkihar Vampire. If you hit him in combat, his name will pop up at the top right as "Volkihar Master Vampire"
For some reason the video won’t play for me.
Am sad 🥺
I’ll leave a like anyway
PaigeNomsFaces same It freezes every three seconds and then refuses to play
I'm a new subscriber and I've been seriously addicted to your videos since I found you. I listened to all the tiny details videos and the things you probably didn't know while also playing Skyrim at the same time. You're awesome man, keep it up.
Serana is the only vamp to not avoid.
10:12 he does have a problem: His lady friend is sweeping the porch with no Broom! = Might want to get her help....
Gotta flee,
Gotta flee,
For the singles party!
For the night!
For the food!
*Can't remember the words.*
Will *idk* find out,who's assaulting her son?
Wasn't me,
Gotta pee!
At the singles party!
Best song I ever heard..
@DEUS VULT So I don't forget it?
1. Auri-El is a He lol
2. Volkihar Vampires want what Harkon wants because they themselves can't fight him nor are they willing he's a scary vamp.
This video just will not work for me, a bunch of other videos load fine, but this one plays for a second or two then starts buffering forever
What the hells going on
Might be your internet
The two vampires on mara's pond are likely a reference to Bram Stocker's Dracula, were Dracula sends himself from his castle in Transylvania to England in a similar way through a ship. Then he kills the crew and in the captains journal you can read a glimpse of what happened
