the only thing i don’t like about the podcast on spotify is how often they interrupt each other and talk over one another. i personally prefer these more focused videos for that reason
This is the single best lore video I, as a fan of The Elder Scrolls series, have seen on the internet. The creation story as told by altmer, is the most thought-through creation story perspectives available to the player and honestly, I love to hear about it over and over again.
The only thing I miss about my old job is the 2 hours of highway slab time I had every day. That's when I'd throw a fudge muppet video on that I can just zone out listening to and just cruise and think. Gosh I loved that. I don't even give myself a single hour a day anymore. Gosh those were the days.

You should do videos about warfare and how each race historically makes it armies. Any information on their military, use of magic, war beasts, historic battles and changes. As well as things like how previlent war is and what scale it gets to.
I was always curious about the Altmer pantheon since we never got to see it in any great detail in the games. All Altmer content is welcome since too many people like to hate on them.
@Wirrling No they watered down their lore. Made their architecture look like typical elven buildings instead of how they are described in lore. ESO made only the dunmer be unique.
@@Rodiacreed to be fair they were probably just building off the Morrowind groundwork. I never played enough ESO to say concretely but I can take a rough stab considering that Morrowind well loved by fans and The Toddhead himself.

Your lore videos are incredible. They never get the views they deserve. I appreciate what you guys do so much, you have made the world of elder scrolls so much more alive for me, thank you.
Maybe I'll roleplay an Altmer paladin, collecting all the artifacts of the Elven pantheon Auriel's Bow and Shield, the staff of Magnus and maybe Volendrung
Try Legacy of The Dragonborn. That mod adds tons of new artifacts from Previous games. Ring of Phynaster is one of them. But you have to start a fresh new game as the mod is gigantic and may cause some issues. Artifacts of Skyrim Revised Edition adds many other Artifacts, Penitent is one of them.
@@lornkern3276 True, any Falmer Lore would be great. Ysgramor and his invaders may have wiped the Falmer Race and it's civilization off from the face of Nirn, but Gelebor and the Chantry of Auriel will always stand as a great monument to their once great civilization, boldly overlooking the lands of Skyrim, untainted by Nords who would Vow to desecrate it.
If you're interested in the Psijic religion, try looking for The Old Ways by Celarus The Loremaster, you can find it for sale with Jobasha in his bookstore Jobasha's Rare Books, found in Vivec, Foreign Quarter waistworks.
I JUST got super into pantheons thank you! Honestly this is the first time I actually understood the reason for Veloth's exodus/Trinimac's transformation, and why Altmer would hate Dunmer so much.
Time is supposed to be linear and unchanging, it's supposed to be rigid, only ever moving in one direction. It's the Force of Order that keeps things in a stable fashion. Which is why Dragon Breaks are so damaging when they occur, time isn't meant to be changed or altered
@@zixx844 Not all of us Altmer who love the Dominion are the same pompous, uncaring Elves you may perceive us as. I'm fighting to destroy the Empire, the legacy of Tiber Septim, the man who assaulted the Summerset Isles unprovoked with a Dwemeri God Weapon
Wouldn't say "most" of them, and not only that, but many of those Mortals were already closer to gods than even the Altmer of today, since Aldmer were closer to Ehlnofey, closer to Et'Ada And Tiber Septim as well as 2 other people all had to come into power into one entity, Talos, so...
It's the very reason why. They want to be gods and their entire culture revolves around returning to godhood. For them, humans do everything wrong. Yet in the end the only one to actually pull off returning to godhood was a human. It's a giant slap in the face.
@@LB-py9ig Well, more Elves in the Lore have ascended to godhood than Humans, and considering that even Talos was a fusion of 3 of them... not as impressive. Plus, it would be something they'd hate given what Tiber Septim did to them
@@thalmoragent9344 Right, I forgot about the mythical figures and the Tribunal. You know, the more I think about it I imagine the Tribunal was also highly unpopular with the Altmer. They were elves sure but their teachings are things the Altmer would see as down right heretical.
You guys have inspired me to give ESO another try (first two times didnt take 😤) with all these amazing visuals and the expanded lore. You should totally start a Fudgmuppet guild! I think it would be the turning point for me in this game being part of a guild that respects the lore as much as I do! 😎
@@thatdudefrombelgium2058 Pfft, please, if I ever saw that around here, I'd bash it into a million pieces. It has the blood of Innocent Snow Elven children all over it
I'm with Fudge Muppet on the disappointment at Summerset looking like the Disney castles. I was expecting the castles made of shining glass like the armor sets.
Also if lorkahn had his way and none of the gods backed out. How "limited" would this world be? They have magic because of magnus leaving early, would that potential universe just be really mundane and without alot of "magical" aspects?
Yeah, Lorkhan's trap didn't go as planned, and so there would've been a LOT more limitations/restrictions in Mundus, which has been called the House of Sithis as well, the Sum of all Limitations. So yeah, no magic, and less spectacular than what Mundus is now. Maybe more like our world, no Magic, no Alchemy, none of that.
@@Super50ldier It is, it has more limitations than not. The only reason it's not as limited as our own world is because Magnus fled and alerted all the Anuic Gods to what was going on. So yeah, just saying.... if Mundus is primarily Lorkhan's realm, and he's the God of Chaos and Limitation, and is seen as a "finite" being, then safe to say Mundus is indeed the House of Sithis. Ever read the Book "Sithis"?
How trinimac really died. Dark elfs left trin follows boetha shows up and says "do you recognize vvardenfels right to exist?" Aurel "im not touching this" trin "no i dont" maphala azura "loud gasp did you hear him get em boe!"
It's a bit of a strange plot hole(?) that the ancient Falmer supposedly had a temple to Syrabane, according to Gelebor, if the Thrassian plague happened over two thousand years after the Falmer rule of Skyrim was over.
Theology a la the Greek word Theos refers to a single god or often referred to as "The One True God", so theology would've really apply to almost all the pantheons of Tamriel.
So almost every story says lorkahn "tricked" the other gods but he never lied in any of those stores, the gods just got cold feet and wanted to back out of his creation, it sounds more like the rest of them being petty than shor being a trickster. Elders scrolls has many very selfish gods
I really hope we don’t have to wait decades before we get to play in the home of the Altmer. Also what’s the background story for the snow elves then? Were they Aldmer and if so why did they leave?
Thanks for this episode! I've been annoying you guys in the comments I'm sure with my complaints about how you guys are too biased towards Dunmer lore/religion haha. From the perspective of the Altmer, if they are truthful, then you can see how the Altmer actually have a fascinating story and task in Tamriel...they aren't merely LOTR imports. And if true, you can also totally see how they would think the other races are not only inferior, but walking abominations associated with Lorkhan's treachery or Daedric influence. This is also why I find Malacath and Meridia two of the most interesting Daedric Princes...as they're not really..."Daedric" in the typical sense. They were both originally related in some way to the aldmer themselves insofar as Malacath was Trinimac (champion of all elves) and Meridia a follower of Magnus and who like the elves did not want Tamriel to be created after discovering Lorkhan's plot. Meridia, in this way, should have somewhat of a natural affinity for Altmer elves and their goals...
Nice lore, entertaining content. Always have trouble especially having the *Dragonborn* not human, i think the gods would place the *Dragonborn* there for a short life (human) for a specific time in need instead of a long-looooong life.
The Old Ways that the Psyjiiks follows explains why they took away the Eye of Magnus and saying that men and elves alike were not ready for such power.
What I find interesting is that all the elves are extremely self absorbed with their race. Like the Thalmor thinking they are the best, the Dunmer are very nationalist, the Orsimer think that they are the best warriors. The only ones that I cant seem to find or infer is the Bosmer being self absorbed
I think all the races are just as capable of being self absorbed. However, as explained in the video the altmer have developed a reputation of being the most self absorbed out of all although I don't think every altmer is that way. But hey that's just me. If you feel otherwise that's fine by me.
Technically, all of them are self absorbed, and I feel that with the Elves, their pride and their feelign of superiority feels warranted given all they've accomplished
i really like the creation story but i have a hard time piutting it in my head, i wish someone made some sort of comic or video explaining with icons and stuff cause im a visual learner
Truly glad that we got a double video today! I’ll be commuting to get vaccinated so on the way there I’ll be listening since I’ve downloaded this video and the latest podcast. Keep up the great work! I hope you reach a Million Subs soon!
I wish we had more on Trinimac, not the least statues. It is tiring to always see him 100% equated to Malacath. One thing I don't understand about the Trinimac/Malacath connection, is why some orcs continue to follow Trinimac. Since the orcs are descendants of the elves that "smeared the Boethiah Trinimac feces over themselves" (no matter how literally you want to interpret that), meaning they followed this new form Malacath... how does it make sense that some *orcs* follow Trinimac? Wouldn't they still be golden-skinned elves?
What if Magnus tore a hole to Aetherius not because he wanted to escape but because a hole connecting Mundus and Aetherius is much needed for the world to flourish? When Lorkhan was spreading too much of his darkness and limitations, some Anuic light from Aetherius was needed to bring the balance back.
What if oriel and laurkan are the same guy with oriel being the soul of laurkan which was the body. What he did may just be tried to kill the world he created and getting back his powers by separating his soul and trying to ascend by killing his body which refused to die and became the sacrifice of the world for the world to live while oriel escaped and Transcended time and is trying to kill everything by making them age to recover his divine power which leaks into the world as mana thus creating a balance of life (given by laurkan) and death (brought by oriel with time).
It's funny how the Aldmeri Dominion believes it a fact that Elves (High Elves) can ascend to godhood, but go full inquisition upon anyone who worships Talos... I just don't see why a Man couldn't ascend when a Mer supposedly can, unless of course, it's just another example of the Aldmeri culture's superiority complex showing.
This place isn't above the spirit world but the spirit world is another trap the Spirit of nern was a book in Skyrim that said something like that, and now the opportunity for whatever is next is possible or something like that I like how Elder Scrolls has changed a lot it makes me feel like real life is a dream I wish I knew the origins of man because the truth is stranger than fiction
While the podcasts are fun I can't always find time for them these shorter more focused videos are perfect for me thanks for another great addition

I wish we had more on Trinimac, not the least statues. It is tiring to always see him 100% equated to Malacath.
One thing I don't understand about the Trinimac/Malacath connection, is why some orcs continue to follow Trinimac. Since the orcs are descendants of the elves that "smeared the Boethiah Trinimac feces over themselves" (no matter how literally you want to interpret that), meaning they followed this new form Malacath... how does it make sense that some *orcs* follow Trinimac? Wouldn't they still be golden-skinned elves?
since everybody is praising fudgmuppet I'm gonna say I really love the Altmer culture, it's so fascinating and alien
Wow nearly 1M abos
What if Magnus tore a hole to Aetherius not because he wanted to escape but because a hole connecting Mundus and Aetherius is much needed for the world to flourish? When Lorkhan was spreading too much of his darkness and limitations, some Anuic light from Aetherius was needed to bring the balance back.
So you mean like that Magnus created the sun to be a battery to recharge Nirn? Or Mundus to be broad.
What if oriel and laurkan are the same guy with oriel being the soul of laurkan which was the body. What he did may just be tried to kill the world he created and getting back his powers by separating his soul and trying to ascend by killing his body which refused to die and became the sacrifice of the world for the world to live while oriel escaped and Transcended time and is trying to kill everything by making them age to recover his divine power which leaks into the world as mana thus creating a balance of life (given by laurkan) and death (brought by oriel with time).
i like your videos
is it possible to do a video about the khajiit pantheon?
It's funny how the Aldmeri Dominion believes it a fact that Elves (High Elves) can ascend to godhood, but go full inquisition upon anyone who worships Talos...
I just don't see why a Man couldn't ascend when a Mer supposedly can, unless of course, it's just another example of the Aldmeri culture's superiority complex showing.
Is Scott using a voice charger he sounds unnatural in the latest videos
This place isn't above the spirit world but the spirit world is another trap the Spirit of nern was a book in Skyrim that said something like that, and now the opportunity for whatever is next is possible or something like that I like how Elder Scrolls has changed a lot it makes me feel like real life is a dream I wish I knew the origins of man because the truth is stranger than fiction
I thought the title read:
"The Pantheon of the High Fives"
