Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Pelinal Whitestrake was a famous Divine Crusader who's most prominent role as such was during the first era, in which he battled and saved mankind from enslavement under the Ayleid rule in Cyrodiil. He battled Elven leaders, as well as the Ayleid King Umaril the Unfeathered. He was known to be quite insane in his hatred for Elven kind, but however is regarded as a hero to mankind. This video talks about his hatred for Elven kind, his madness, his heroism, and his unfortunate end.

He frequently went into murderous rages for no apparent reason... oh so he was a player character, got it.
I wouldn't be surprised if he also joined the dark brotherhood
Think that was pretty common with all crusaders.
Guess at the end of the spree he realized he forgot to quicksave

Who’s here after that “animated opera” about him on AllinAll’s channel?

That is funny. I became interested in Pelinal after playing the Skyrim mod Vigilant and then the Opera randomly showed up in my feed. Can't get the guy out of my head and that is why I am here now.

Penial sounds like a pissed off player who just went around killing things before finally touching the main story
So.. every skyrim playthrough?
Yes... It's Pelinal.
Pelinal was an absolute unit, the guy was an elf slaying machine
You definitely a bad ass if your allies need to turn to gods in order to have them tell you to calm the balls down and the fact you can still talk and salute people despite being cut to pieces.
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646 and the fact that you can appear at your friends deathbed long after you yourself died
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646 If I recall, Alessia had to literally pray to Akatosh to get Pelinal to calm down every time he went crazy.

When lorkhan and akatosh agree that something needs done, things like pelinal come to being. These combined aspects are always mad.

Pelinal: "So anyway, I started blasting"
Which is why this guy, while he was a liberator, he was still a crazy mass murdering zealot who even killed innocents. Always 2 sides of the story, after all
Khajit were wood elves transformed into cats by Azura, but then again he was so blinded by rage after the Ayelids killed his lover.
@@kakashihatake326
Actually, no that's not true. Khajit have a common ancestor, but they're not actually Elves. Not only that, but in a quest to gather Elven Blood, Khajit blood isn't a part of the equation.
Still, he slaughtered a Ton of innocent Khajit for no reason. Even if he thought they were Mer, they didn't do anything to humans, and were in an entirely different Province
@@thalmoragent9344 If im not mistaken wasnt it due to his boyfriend being killed by some Ayelid king so he went on a killing spree only the Aedra themselves could stop.

Still doesn't excuse the Khajit slaughter. He was in Cyrodiil, but went out of his way to kill them down in Elswyr

@@sircrimsonwolf7492
Then you think wrong.
Imperial Knowledge approved
I think Pelinal accepted the Elven name to add insult to injury while slaughtering the Ayleids. It's like a huge insult to their entire race for a warrior to don an Elven name and subsequently slaughter their entire people.
Pelinal is by far my favorite character in Elder Scrolls lore. He’s basically this worlds version of the Doom Guy. Plus his armor is inspired by a Knights Templar’s. This channel has by far the best format and most in depth research I’ve seen. Keep it uppppp.
He is supposedly either a Cyborg from the future or an avatar of Shor
@@wiibrockster both.
Deus Vult
Tamriel is due a second coming of Whitestrake. There’s so many elves to kill and so little time.
He should pay the Thalmor a visit...
I'd say the opposite, we need a culling of Men after all of these warmongering savages like Pelinal, Tiber Septim and Ulfric the Traitor have been glorified and *deified* for their crimes
@@Mare_Man - You're kidding, right? Elder Scrolls lore shows that Pelinal, Talos and Ulfric were created as a direct result of elven cruelty. It's like the elves can't help themselves, they HAVE to be horrible beings and create the tools of their own destruction.
@@arjacfellhand838 Alessia had just as much help from Ayleids sympathetic to her cause as she did from the Nords.
Tiber Septim put the entire *continent* (aside from Morrowind and inner Black Marsh) under his bootheel and threatened Summerset with total obliteration.
Ulfric is a traitorous radical that murders anyone in his way.
If you ask me, the humans should be grateful it's taken the Mer so long to get tired of their bullshit
imagine thinking tes universe is so basic that it has black and white morality lol like good guys and bad guys lmao you guys
Pelinal, Goblin Slayer, Guts, and Doom guy are basically the Avatars of the God of "Being too Angry to die"
Edit. Forgot Big Daddy Kratos. Sorry!
Also played Doom Eternal, so yeah same guy.

By the nine! I have never heard nor seen such a well made documentary about myself! Well done good madam! Well done! You have earned the favor of this crusader this day.
Pelinal could you come back to 4th Era 201 in order to slaughter some Elves that need killing? I'm sure this time around you could eliminate their entire measly kinds from the face of Tamriel!

I believe the proper term would be "By the Eight!"
(No, this is not Thalmor propaganda. Pelinal Whitestrake and Tiber Septim are thousands of years apart)
rezandra rizky SEE I TOLD YOU HE’S A FAKE!!!
Pelinal Whitestrake, a fantasy version of The Doomslayer. Hates elves as much as DS hates demons. Literally too angry to die. Takes shit from no-one, not even his allies.
He’s almost like Elder Scrolls’ Guts.
Pelinal has never lost a game of "who's the protag." He is a walking player character.

@@skepticwolf4856 Elves are plague for humans. Especially the dark elves. Thats why they always "disappear" when i see one. Im doing this for us humans.
Always good to hear more about Pelinal.exe. Still wondering if we will ever get a more definitive answer as to how he knew the name Reman.
Some say he was an avatar of Shor/Lorkhan while others say he was a Cyborg
He was sent by the gods and was from another Kalpa (Basically from another universe) and was also the child of a god of the "World River" from another Kalpa, and while this doesn't explain why he knows the name Reman, it does show he was pretty strange.
Flying Alfredo Saucer it feasible that either one or all the gods blessed him with foresight from the get go or he acquired it on his own or read an elder scroll. But the more interesting question is why the fuck does he care about an Emperor who not even born yet It even more strange when you consider Raman beginning I mean he was found in the middle of nowhere by a peasant woman with the amulet of kings in his baby hands....make one wonder.
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646
He says his madness is like a dream that nolonger needs it's dreamer, which implies he comes from after landfall, which means no wonder he's bat shit insane
The_Drop Bear how does that imply he from landfall isn’t it that one book which said in the fifth era the world will end at least what I remember about it has been a while since I last read it.
Freddy Kruger had a nightmare once,it was called Pelinal Whitestrake.
Freddy couldn't keep it in his mind alone.
He lacked any of the necessary power.
Pelinal & Huna were definitely inspired by Achilles & Patroclus. I love that classical reference.
Michael Kirkbride has gone on record saying that they were very light inspirations, but he and Kurt wanted to try and make Pelinal stand out among real-world mythical warriors. Thus, the whole "cyborg from a future era" theory came along.
Hailed as shor and spat at the thought? He was given that Wallace treatment twice over but lived as a head? Madlad
Wonder if he was shouting in rage that he still wanted to get rid of more elves
Probably.
Appreciating the Dark Souls music as the background while describing a murderous psycho.
Possibly one of my most favorite stories in Elder Scrolls
Imagine playing an Elf. This meme was brought to you by man and Beastfolk gang
Fucking furry or stupid farming tool
You can play an elf and still be against the Thalmor.
To be honest, Skyrim pretty much shows why he should have deleted the elves.
Joao Paulo Soncin they almost got the Silver Hand treatment
Same with Ysgramor.
How would you feel if, within your lifetime, there was a man who unleashed a terrifying weapon that all but annihilated your culture? How would you feel knowing that he didn't even make that weapon, he just received it as a gift from your demon-worshiping cousins in order to assuage him? And then how would you feel if people started worshiping that man as a righteous god?
Even with all the self-righteous notions of elven supremacy, I sincerely do not blame the Aldmeri for being bitter and striking back when they could finally afford to. What the Empire did to them was inhumane, comparable to the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (except of course that it's in a fictional world).
All things considered, the fact that they settled on the races of men ceasing to worship a war criminal as a god was rather gracious of them.
Now I'll admit that doesn't automatically make their cause just, but it would be wise to not forget that every conflict has at least two sides, and each side is always motivated by their own cultural/personal sense of righteousness. This is true no matter the scale. Even when one side has more moral clout, even if they are divinely supported, these things only serve to make them zealous.
Skyrim has not always belonged to the Nords. They conquered it. Therefore, they are liable to be conquered themselves.
@@LeviathanLP You have an amazing response that I honestly feel kinda ashamed I just put a joke response to begin with about that conflict.
But yes I do agree, just saying that 'elves bad' and staying at that would be naive of my part. Both sides hurt each other badly and the Stormcloaks are not helping in the slightest, historically, they drive away from the original habitants (The 'snow' elves) and in their ignorance, think they always stayed like that.
Nobody is in the right, it's all consequences from their ancestors that they are all paying in blood. Nobody is trying to have peace, they only want to be left alone while hiding behind their ego that they call 'honor'.
@@LeviathanLP what the elves did to humans long before Tiber Septim, was not horrible? As for nords, fuck them, Skyrim belongs to the reachmen.
Edit: though when I say fuck the nords, I don't mean Ysgramor, that man removed knife ear, he is good in my books.
Really loved this!
What was so striking about him was his duality, which I thought was done super well done in this. He is a savior and liberator of human kind, St. Alessia's greatest warrior, and touched by the Divines, but also an extreme zealot prone to insane genocidal rage.
I really liked how you talk about his awareness of the Dream. Was that a mix of his Divine-touched nature, his insanity, or both?
I am two weeks late but it is implied his awareness was due to him being either a possible Shezarrine (an incarnation of Lorkhan upon Nirn), or an avatar of Akatosh. His insanity though, would certainly be related to him being an avatar of Akatosh (who suffered from bipolar disorder during the First Era). Gods in TES are shaped in part by their faithful's beliefs. With both humans and elves giving praise to Akatosh each in their own nationalistic way, Akatosh was... for a lack of a better word... broken, and Pelinal may have reflected this, being his avatar.
@@willl676 or maybe he was a mortal who idk how achieved chim without any divine intervention or using the heart of lorkhan but died bcos he a fought umaril who was a daedra after being super weakened.
@@Kami-Sama197 there's absolutely no reason to believe pelinal achieved chim.
His awareness of the dream in all likelihood was probably a result of him being either shezarrine, touched by akatosh, or as sources imply, a man who can either manipulate or see through time to some degree.
While being aware of the dream is a prerequisite for chim, it's known to require more than just that, and he seems to only refer to the dream when looking at his insanity, which leads me to believe that he my not see the dream, or tower, as being legitimate (meaning he may write it off as his own madness instead of attaching some merit to his feeling)
@@Kami-Sama197 oh, one last bit, this is just me, but as Lorkhan attempted chim and sabotaged his own attempt to provide mortals with a blueprint to succeed in the psijic endeavor, I believe individual shezarrines are pretty much incapable of achieving chim for this reason. An avatar or shor/shez/lorkh wouldn't have any better a chance at something Lorkhan intentionally passed up if I'm attaching logic to what it means to be shezarrine. (of course, shezarrines may also just be a myth which would render this comment meaningless)
Pelinal Whitestrake is the only character in TES lore that is written as though a player was controlling him and guiding his exploits
Also probably the highest profile gay character in the series
Gay?
Weird that you think Pelinals sexuality is worth mentioning, but Alessia who fucks bull dudes is beyond reproach
@@Kernwadi Sounds gay to me
@@BlaqueValue He wasn't a bull man, he was a literal bull. As in the animal. He had no human traits at all other than being able to speak.

There's a mod for Skyrim called Vigilant where you revive some memories from Pelinal even the battle with Umaril is a fantastic mod to check it out
What platform?
@@Imdoom1991 On PC I sure it have, on consoles I can't answer :c
@@Imdoom1991 it is the best Skyrim experience I've had in over 4000 hours.
Pelinal Whitestrake had the Amulet of Kings in place of a heart...
The Amulet of Kings is used to prevent the realms of the Daedra from meeting Nirn...
The High Elves believe themselves the closest to the Aedra, the Aedra being pretty much the "good" Daedra (the term "good" is debatable, not all the Daedra are evil).
Pelinal Whitestrake was simply removing the closest thing to the Daedra from Nirn... The High Elves, and their closest relations (Wood Elves, Dark Elves, accidentally Khajiit).
The Elves are not related to Daedra , Pelinal Himself wss literally taken to Nirn by Sithis/Lorkhan himself
Jesus, how I miss Knights of the nine and Shivering Isles😭
Knights of the Nine Revelation is a great addition to KOTN and possibly the best mod I've ever seen for Oblivion, if not ever. I'd highly advise on installing it and playing KOTN again.
alessia: how much elves should be left alive?
pelinal: no
"Smothered to death by moths". And here I thought Pelinal was all slaughter and bloodshed.

You mop the floor with fudgemuppet on ES Lore. Good job!
3:03
Y’know what’d be a cool retcon. If Pelinal was the child who killed the Snow Prince (I know that was a little girl)
Could easily work if a Dragon Break occurred when he was born.
Or I guess the boring method of retconning the child or Pelinal.
Yeah but that would still be pretty messed up. The fact nearly all the Snow Elves were massacred due to the actions of a group that killed a single city... is already screwed up. Saarthal, a single city, didn't warrant the death of almost an entire race by the Atmorans.
So for her to get pissed at other Elves in a province far from Saarthal/Skyrim wouldn't be warranted, it also means she killed off a lot of Khajit. There's revenge, then there's psychotic cruelty for innocents of other races
great vid as always! love the variety of art you use- I see plenty of lore channels just do lingering slow pans over shots of skyrim I’ve seen a zillion times but you always keep things interesting 👍♦️👍
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me, and I felt the same way about those kinds of things! As much as I love Skyrim and how pretty the game can look with Ultra Graphic Mods, the same pans and images of mountains did get boring, especially when they are talking about lore completely opposite of Skyrim. Thank you again so much! Your kind words are what keeps me going!

*I WILL NOT DENY HER THE HEADS OF KINGS!* ~ Pelinal Whitestrake
I sometimes feel overwhelmed by how much lore exists for the fictional IPs out there. Most people can play an Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Warhammer (40k), Halo, etc video game and dismiss all the references as just more silly names, but then you go on the wikis or listen to dildos on youtube and it's like BWAAAMMMM hours and hours of stuff behind the silly names. I love TES, Oblivion and Skyrim especially, but there is so much I haven't bothered to look into until years later. Funnily enough, what sparks the most curiosity of info for me to pursue are those references that make me remember the games so I can go back to play them with a new perspective. For example, one of the biggest, yet subtlest things here is at the end when the text says the dude was smothered by moths for angering Pelinal. Wtf is up TES and moths? Are those the same as the ancestor moths that the librarians of the literal Elder Scrolls worship? Put down the pipe, Todd Howard!
The name you're looking for isn't Todd, it's Michael Kirkbride -- and yes, he needs to put down the pipe.
So, he is a terminator of divine origin going back to the past to slay elves?
Unconfirmed but possible
This is an extremely plausible theory.
I love how you use fan art, its nice to see different stuff once in awhile. Thank you for all you do, lady of scrolls rocks.
Pelinal can't be racist against beings that don't deserve to exist.

Pelinal Whitestrake? My favorite Elder scrolls legend aside for Alessia? YOU GOT YOURSELF A NEW SUBSCRIBER!
Pelinal could be the HoonDing. The Hoonding was believed by the Redgaurds to be sent by the Gods in time of need. The Redgaurds hate elves and battled with them constantly throughout their history. His left arm was made of a killing light. Maybe because he was a sword singer and they mistook his soul sword as a killing light. Pelinal's duel with Haromir of Copper and Tea he his neck-veins while screaming praise to Reman. Perhaps he was referring to Reymon Ebonarm instead who was a HoonDing himself. As we know Yokuda was destroyed. It's a long shot but it could of been Pelinal going on of his madness but it was left unchecked and he his path of destruction cause Yokuda to be destroyed somehow. All the races have differing stories but essentially the same Gods. "During the Tiber Wars, HoonDing was said to have been a sword or a crown, or both" perhaps an amulet even? Tiber Septem maybif gotten the crown from him. Pelinal may of been the numidian for all we know. The history and myth often mix and get obscured a lot so perhaps so it doesn't necessarily line up with dates and descriptions but it kind of fits. The Hoonding was known as "The Make Way God, is the Yokudan spirit of 'perseverance over infidels'. The HoonDing has historically materialized whenever the Redguards need to 'make way' for their people." Which Pelinal definitely made way for mankind from oppression. "The HoonDing has had many other manifestations over the course of time; for example, Reymon Ebonarm may be another aspect of the HoonDing that has manifested on Tamriel as an adversary of the Daedric powers." The Ayleids worshipped Daedra and could summon armies from Oblivion. Since the Hoonding had had many manifestations throughout history. Pelinal was callee the 3rd, perhaps a third manifestation. It's a theory I'm working on and I admit it's a bit out there but it fits somewhat as well
PRAISE REMAN PRAISE REMAN *PRAISE REMAN*
The last thing Umaril heard before he needed to heal:
In the book, The Song of Pelinal, Book I, it says that his left hand "was made of killing light", and was the reason he had the title of Whitestrake, though I have not been able to discover what this actually means.
Another great video and one that covers one of my favorite characters in Elder Scrolls lore. Can't wait for the next entry!
As a lover of all things mer even I have a place in my heart for Pelinal the elf slayer
Pelinal is strange figure and that’s saying something in the elder scrolls.
one of things I found odd about him he believed to be one of the avatars of lorkhan/Shor/sep/shezarr/talos but gave his devotion to the eight even the ones that condemned lorkhan to death.
To go off topic where did you learn about Pelinal being a mage and a king I am asking not only because I wish to know but also I am a lazy shit lol.
Lastly what do you think good old Pelinal would have thought about his slave queen idea of combining the human and elven pantheons in one.
Hi! I also find it all so interesting, and the bit about him being a king is mentioned in the Book Before the Ages of Man, en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Before_the_Ages_of_Man, the last phrase in the book mentioned a legendary hero who went by many names, including Pelinal Whitestrake, being a king, sorcerer, and finding territories to roam freely. And I think he would have been completely against the idea of combining the Elven Pantheon with the Human/ Nordic Pantheon, but it's hard to say.
Lady of Scrolls cheers yeah I think he would be pissed about it but would probably get over it what he probably wouldn’t stand for would be coexistence with elves because the slave queen had no intentions of banishing killing or doing anything horrible to her Elvin supporters she even allowed them to keep their positions which you probably know didn’t really sit well with the nords and imperials but I imagine Pelinal would just take one look at his empress and his demigod friend then go on a murderous rampage the like of which would send a shiver to even molag bal spine.
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646 lmao beautifully phrased, i definitely agree, in the end Pelinal was a hero for defeating Umaril and abolishing slavery of mankind, however his death I believe was certainly deserved at that moment, else there probably would no longer be any Elves, at least on mainland Tamriel. Which isn't what Alessia even desired, his death was timed well and I think makes up for the mindless slaughter he caused. And I think Alessia was certainly more level headed than he. Despite his immense power.
Lady of Scrolls indeed Pelinal would have most likely would have started a civil war with Alessia which could have ended the first empire before it could begin.
He was definitely a hero and a villain a hero for freeing mankind from slavery and helping in establishing the first empire which admittedly become something Alessia would despise with all her being. But Pelinal was also bit of a piece of shit considering he hated all elves and wanted to kill them all he probably butchered elf villagers and townsfolk before and after he met Alessia. It also doesn’t help that he scolded even killed people for what he saw as blasphemy to use the example of the guy in the video when he said he was the avatar of shezarr and he lost his temper instead of going “no my good man I am just a man a knight in our queen and gods Service” but we got “you fucking heretic I will kill you and your family!”
But enough of that you certainly earned a sub this day (or last night as I am in the uk lol) I look forward to seeing what you do next speaking of which what topic will you be discussing next.
I'm late but his devotion to the divine's despite being (possible) shezarrine is generally the prevailing theory on why he's bat-shit crazy to begin with
That's an identity crisis I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, not to mention akatosh's own identity was being split into two parts who were very much against the other to begin with
So being the avatar of a god that was punished by the gods he reveres, while having some connection to akatosh who's already a broken God around this point in history must be unbearable on the psyche.
Although that kind of mind fuckery is what makes him my favorite knight in all history, fictional or real. Still a hero, but totally touched in the head that would put most warlords to shame.
First video of your I've watched and you've earned a subscriber, love the way this was done it seem like a video about actual history
This is a UA-camr that deserves more subscribers, I am happy I just subscribed to a hidden gem channel.
Yes! A new video. Man, I love these. Keep 'em coming.
One of my favorite historical figures in es history. Also bring back ur dark brotherhood video. Liked that story
Yours is one of the better lore channels I’ve found for anything. Thanks for the sweet info
Now i know my builds and name for Elder Scrolls 6
I see
Amazing content.Thank you so much. It really changes the feeling of playing the games. Ofcourse i ve read the books multiple times in game but watching the stories told in their entirety with all the theories and different versions is truly spectacular and an eye opener!Thank you again!
Pelinal was basically the embodiment of every PC that has quick saved and went on a rampage at over lvl 60
I fucking got it lmfao Pelinal is 100% a self insert DnD character that the writing team added into lore
I love your videos. A ton of these tes lore videos are full of fluff and speculation that never gets expounded upon, but you get right to the point and explain everything.
Pelinal used console commands for sure
Just discovered your chanel and I love your videos, don't stop you are good at this 😀😀
I AM ANGRY. ANGRY ABOUT ELVES! Great video about a GREAT MAN
He’s like the TES Achilles.
The es6 plot that I'm imagining is the main character being sent on a quest by talos to gather the robotic parts of pelinal whitestrake and resurrect him to destroy the thalmor, meanwhile they're constantly hunting you throughout the quest line and getting more and more desperate to stop you as you get closer to unleashing their boogeyman. Then at the end there would be a cutscene of you sitting on a mountain watching him absolutely demolish the entire thalmor military
There are just so many enigmatic figures in this series.
Pelinal Whitestrake: The first modder
I really like your channel! I've been inspired to read a lot of books in skyrim because of good contents like this! ^^
Welp time to bring out the ol' face mace
Pelinal, the Doomguy of TES
Loving these, keep them going!
Another reason why Pelinal is definitely a player character: Pelinal is actually a title.
I'm certainly late to this, but I like your format, and your voice is also quite pleasant to listen to.
Keep up the good work.
Fitting intro music for my story, lady of scrolls
Imagine being Umaril, some deific uber wizard. You watch one man tear through everything you own, everything your friends own, you face the realization the *ONLY* way to beat this guy is to let him tire himself out on fighting, and killing, all of your friends and then yourself and even then you barely manage to pull out the win against him -- you *DIE* in the process, but that's ok because you know you can come back to life.
It's fine, right? Just come back to life a few centuries later when he's just *NOT* a problem anymore, right?
*EXCEPT* when you wake up, *THERE HE FUCKING IS* the guy your homies split into 8 pieces, is *STANDING THERE* before you, except, this time, you have no friends to throw at him, and there's a *NEW* god in his corner who's preventing your delayed resurrection trump card...
Umaril really went "I lived, bitch!" only for Pelinel to hit him with the uno reverse card.
Pelinal is a legend among legends lol
To quote leman russ from warhammer 40k “he was of an age of gods! Now we are in a age of mortals”
I want a doom dlc based on this guy even if fan made
If all humanity was like Pelinal Whitestrake, Tamriel would just be medieval Warhammer 40k
>implying is a bad thing
good details.. nicely narrated too... there's certainly a few things you won't easily find in the lore of oblivions knights of the nine dlc...
I think Pelinal must of been able to read an Elder Scroll in order to be so powerful. He probably read bits of the future and that is why he knew the nane of Reman. He may of been able to see some sort of advantage in all of those battles and duels by having that knowledge. Would also explain his fits of madness. As for his head still talking to his friend? Maybe something to do with magic from the amulet of kings, I dunno.
Run program Pelinal: Delete Elf.exe
Hey, that's me!
Pelinal is basically my mood when I find out someone stole my food
3:19 Pelinal must've been like "Hmmm, you're not elves you say? well you're still furries burn!!!!!!!!!"
A true man of culture

Hey Heimskr, how's your Talos-praising going nowadays?
Well done video. The artwork is awesome. The detail of the story is sport on.
"Pelinal Whitestrake, blessed wretched knight of old,
Terrible killer of men, where in thine heart in your armor of gold?
Oh Whitestrake, wicked terrible maddened king,
Bring upon the dawn of our age, so that your name for eternity we sing."
