Dagoth Ur closed the book, its black cover matching well with his grey skin, his red eyes darted from the golden text of the cover to Neravar, who was sat across from him. “Well, anything to say on this old friend?” Ur said, as if something had been revealed that had before been so obvious. Neravar seemed to writhe somewhat in his seat, growing restless for from his perspective Dagoth Ur was giving justification to his maddening plague. “What am i to make of such ramblings Voryn? Am i to believe that you seek to reveal some great truth to the Mer who you torture in their dreams?” Neravar said, his voice a questioning but also frustrated sound that made Dagoth Ur place a hand solemnly over the shining gold like metal of the Dwemer mask he wore. “Neravar oh my friend Neravar, how can you, you! Who have seen the false gods of the tribunal for who they really are, who have died and been resurrected, who have read the works of that snake Vivek, how can you not see the truth?” Dagoth Ur said, a mild desperation in his voice, as if he was to convince Neravar of something dire that he simply couldn’t see but was all the same looming over him… “Enough of this madness Voryn, i am glad to have seen you, to know that you were once the Mer i called friend, but i am still on a mission from Azura herself, either cease your efforts… or let us finally cast aside this nonsense and do battle!” Neravar said, standing for only a moment before Dagoth Ur spoke. “Its all a dream Neravar…” he said, his words echoing off the stone walls of the chamber, his tone was that of a man finally confessing a truth he had previously hid. “What?” Said Neravar, cocking his head to the side and speaking in a baffled tone. “Its all a dream… here, sit, and i will explain,” the Mer who had once been Voryn Dagoth said, putting away the black covered book, before pulling out another, this one’s cover was a mix of all colors that had ever been, and Neravar’s eyes vibrated in his skull when he looked at it for too long. The cover read “The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath” and below that it also said, “Fungi from Yuggoth”
Dagoth's voice for Dagon and Beyond the Wall of Sleep are surprisingly perfect. I had already read Beyond the Wall of Sleep, but it is far more satisfying an experience in Dagoth Ur's voice, for whatever reason.
Strangely there is such a thing as a habitual vacancy of the mountaineer. High mountains are a place hostile and alien to humans. Anyone who habitually goes there is sure to become habitually vacant.
@@downward7296 he was a product of his time. Racism was an open thing during his time. But he came to mature and realise those beliefs weren't his own but rather the influence of his peers. A sad habit that still persists to this day but nowhere near as much as Lovecrafts time
@@antonironstag5085 he was noted as especially racist, classist and generally bigoted even for his time as well as being a huge antisemite until death. Don’t get me wrong I love pretty much all of his books and a lot of the works he inspired but please just read some of his correspondence of close friends asking him to turn the racism down for the sake of his career
Saying that stupid people are stupid is not racism, I can get on my bicycle and in not much time be in a place with people who are so low IQ that can barely read and write well enough to function and that use very limited language, the sort of people that could never read a mildly complex book and understand it, and that must have an IQ of 80 on average, that are prone to violence and don't even understand that you should take medicine when the doctor prescribes it because somehow drinking a herbal tea works better. Ironically you people in the comments think you are smarter than this ignorant man who was merely a product of those uneducated times, but in reality you are just blinded by political correctness to the point you think people like this existing is an exaggeration, even more ridiculous when you consider this story was set more than 100 years ago.
It's almost as he isn't racist at all, and judges everyone equally. But we live in one of the most ignorant times ever, and nowadays it is considered racist to not be racist.
which means his anti racism, as being against racist non whites hating white people or things that are a threat to white people. anyone people here see racism and its used against white people, check if its because they fight against racism against white people or not. that way people can see if they are just using anti white tactic of calling people who fight against racism towards white people racist or racism to hide or protect racists and racism against white people.

Thank you, I enjoyed reading that
Then, Dagoth Ur proceeded to read The Lusty Argonian Maid.
Can hardly wait for "Boethiah's Pillow Book" ;)
Reading your text reminded me a lot of Legacy of Kain dialogues, wich is one of my favorite game series ever.
The day Dagoth Ur archived CHIM
I never knew how enjoyable something like having Dagoth Ur read out Lovecraft could be. Truly a wonderful experience.
Imagine the wealth of knowledge that could be taught. Now that Dagoth Ur can guide us to salvation, maybe humanity can finally ascend.
What a grand and intoxicating innocence!
Lovecraft has an air of high self esteem, but Ur's voice makes it seem as though the stories were written for him.
He was terrified of pretty much everything.

@@CordellPotts Haters gonna hate. One day the Sixth House shall dab upon your corpse.
DU is unironically a fantastic narration voice
Extremely entertaining. Dagoth Ur's voice is perfect for Eldritch horror.
I love how modern technology has made this possible.
I'll be honest, I'm curiois about more stories narrated by Dagoth Ur.
One of my favorite Lovecraft stories
Would like to know more about Dagoth Ur's "college days"
Bro holding his hand out saying "4 state policemen" was fukn hilarious
Beautiful. Fantastic narration, thank you for posting all that you did !
I feel as though I'm being uncontrollably swept into a reading of The Yellow King and my doom awaits.
Absolute gold 🔥

Nose laughed immediately and realized I may not be able to take this seriously
This story is ironic since the world of elder scrolls is itself a dream
I know what I'll be listening to next time I'm on my way to Arkham
His silky smooth voice gets me lost in the story
This is fantastic.
3 minutes and its pretty much just; "these foul and stupid creatures i hesitate to call people". oh lovecraft
Pretty sure in a couple of his books the "horror" was literally just black people.
@@downward7296 can't be blamed tbh
@@RavenWolffe77 And what's your source for the existence of these works, or for this supposed change of character?

Lovecraft really opening a can of racism on this one
Look up what he named his cat
Watch as dagoth ur roasts an Ashlander
14:48 anyone else hear that?
Gees lovecraft was really roasting the f$ck out of that guy lol.
Lovecrafts bigotry does match up really well with dagoth
The way he talks about Republicans is so awesome
I love how lovecraft is even racist against white people lol. Its like he is racist against humans overall.
We call them misanthrope

@@schnek8927 he is very racist by any stardarts wtf you on bruh
Having Lovecraft's putrid racism narrated by a canonically racist character makes it more bearable somehow
I almost forgot about the racism.
Modern day makes a lot of ho Lovecraft stories nonsensical af
Dagoth's voice fits Lovecraft's racism.
