A point that was never mentioned with the Eternal Champion was the fact that Arena ends in 3e 399, only 34 years before the events of Oblivion, meaning the Champion couldn't have been older than 70, give or take a few years. There's a pretty high likelihood that he would have been assassinated alongside his friend Uriel in the opening hours of the oblivion crisis due to his status and trustworthiness with the Emporer
@@Tony-ih1pg the E C does not necessarily need to be an elf to live that long, there are quite a few strong humans who have lived even longer then 70 years, Tharn's ancestor in the 2nd era during the soul burst lived for over 120 years be his age started catching up to him, the grey beards are also stated to be very old too at 100 years plus

The last Dragonborn saved the world from at least FOUR different apocalyptic events, and was then murdered by angry townsfolk for accidentally hitting a chicken. Edit: holy crap, a thousand likes?! Thank you all! 😊
I love how the Hero of Kvatch, us the players who played Oblivion, become Sheogorath. Therefore, we are Sheogorath. Therefore, meeting Sheogorath in Skyrim kinda seems like meeting ourselves which is kind of madness itself.
You could roleplay the Dragonborn as the sane reminants of the Hero of Kvatch that were separated from Sheogorath by Akatosh and placed into a new body when the Dragon crisis started. If you want to make it even more inception like
@BaronSengir1008 No, not really? All we know about them is that they MAYBE were created by Akatosh, being a role play game things like that are left as much as possible in the open, that's why I said "you could roleplay", you make your own story and crap v:
My hope for the Dragonborn is that he simply retired to the countryside with his wife and children. Skyrim was the first game in the series to have marriage and adoption, and the whole Hearthfire DLC was about building a house. It would be a fitting and deserved end for him. Edit: I wrote this before I got to where you suggested the same thing lol
I wish, but being Dragonborn is something of a double-edged sword. Having the soul of a dragon means having the ambition of a dragon. Even if the LDB retired to the countryside, that hunger for power and dominion would always be eating at them. They may not even be capable of living a satisfying, normal life.

Azura: Dagon is coming soon, Morrowind needs you. I assume you know what to do from here. Argonian Nerevar: Flee the continent for some Akaviri Snakussy? Azura: ... Argonian Nerevar: Prepairing the boat rn.
When I read "Argonian Nerevar", I kinda expected "go to blackmarsh and rally the army. Right? Right?" Mayb ethe Argonian Nerevar never went to Akavir, but just took a boat east, circled around to blackmarsh and joined the fight. Not like the Dunmer could tell. Doubt these racists could differentiate between two Argonians by looking at them.
@@sockymonkie It would be pretty hilarious if one day Bethesda actually stated the Nerevar to be an Argonian, even if it's a joke considering how it's basically a running thing across the whole ES community.
@@wolfscar5557 Either Argonian or Nord Nerevarine would be hilarious, seeing as Argonians were kept as slaves by the Dunmer and also seeing as it was during the Battle of Red Mountain that Nerevar was originally killed. The same battle in which the ghost of Shor, alongside many Nord warriors, attempted to claim the Heart so Shor could fully regenerate and become Lorkhan once again. Also, the Nerevarine bumping off Almalexia is just desserts. The conniving bitch just stood there and grinned while Vivec impaled Nerevar with his severed penis of Molag Bal spear.
I thought we had agreed 10 years ago that the last dragonborn was the mortal incarnation of Shor wich was why we could sit in Shor's throne in Sovngarde
@@bokrugthewaterserpent3012 we can speculate, but no where in that realm, im not even going to try and spell it because ill be wrong, shor is nowhere to be found.
@@jakemathews2630 Yeah, and you wouldn't expect him to be found either. In fact it'd be weirder if he was there, considering his sundered corpse orbits Nirn, his Heart is implanted in it, and his blood has hardened into Ebony veins all throughout the planet. Expecting to find Shor is like visiting a memorial for the victims of the Titanic and going "Hey, where are all the bodies?"
It's a chair. Just because I can also sit in every thrones doesn't mean I'm instantly a Jarl or High King. I've seen stupid head cannons, but this, this is the most stupidest one that I've ever read.
Dragonborn got all his allies together and sailed to the shimmering isles, destroyed the thalmor (he is a racist nord and so killed lots of innocent elves too), and was crowned the new Dragonborn emperor (he killed the last one” where he ruled as a god king forever, never dying due to the dragon soul, the end.
You dont simply invade the Summerset Isles. Even Tiber Septim needed the Numidium. Your basically implying the Dragonborn is stronger then a god and stronger then Talos
@@jeambeam3173Talos is prolly a case of not being that strong my man I’m pretty sure he was just a hero that once passed was worshipped by the inhabitants of Tamriel as a god
In The Elder Scrolls, headcanon is MORE true than actual canon. "Each reader sees different reflections through different lenses, and may come away with a different reading. But at the same time, all of it is true. Even the falsehoods. Especially the falsehoods."
Now that's just wrong, yes two people can have different believes on the same topics and both of them are true but there's some stuff that can't be watered down to "my headcanon is..." Like the creation myths, lorkhan trick and his sundering, the disapprences of the dwemer, the fall of the ayleids, the rise of Tiber septim, the numidium, the prisoner role, the death of indoril nerevar, the death of Uriel septim, the rise of the slave rebellion, the fall of lygg, the aedras and daedras, anu padomay...etc
When it comes to the actual canon then Bethesda have the actual power and ability to say what’s canon and what’s not. No has the say when it comes to something like only the creators have the say, and we all have to deal with it. So if Bethesda went and say the Dragonborn is a white nord with blond hair and has an iron sword and copper iron shield (forgot what it’s called), one of the bandit armor, iron helmet, iron gauntlets, an iron boots, as well as the Dragonborn only did the main story fought vampire killed their leader, fought and defeated miraak. That would be the actual canon to the game lore if Bethesda comes out and say it is. But they won’t.
For the Nerevarine I always just imagined the council saw them as a threat considering their god killing activities and sent them to Akavir for a little bit in hopes that they would die but they didn’t. So sometime after the Red Year and when they stop getting orders they go back to Morrowind only to nope on out of there once they see the consequences of their actions
It is interesting to think that with the ALMSIVI, Morrowind probably could have survived into the 4e and red mountain wouldnt have erupted since the heart would still be there. However, this is an impossible timeline as there was no possible way the nerevarine could have defeated Dagoth ur without destroying the heart.
One thing to note is the Hero of Kvatch ("Champion of Cyrodil" is not a title unique to that character, sorry dude) as the Mad God is distinctly DIFFERENT from the original Mad God. Original Sheogorath loved to create madness,and drive people insane. However, as shown in the Sheo quest in Skyrim, the remantled Sheogorath tries to CURE the madness of those souls who have entered his realm.
My headcanon is that the Hero of Kvatch is still the Hero of Kvatch and only appears as Sheogorath when doing official Shivering Isles business, because that’s what’s expected from Sheogorath.
Eh, not quite "cure" it, so much as "treat" it. He's not there to make Pelagius sane, just there to turn his negative insanity into a more harmless one.
In Oblivion, Mannimarco is also the Necromancer's Moon who bestows the Shade of the Revenant on necromantic altars every 8 days. It allows necromancers to create black soul gems. So in a way, there are two Mannimarcos in Oblivion.
I like to imagine The Last Dragonborn would retire from adventuring and settling down with their family before they pass on peacefully as Akatosh holds dominion over the Dragonborn's dragon soul and the Dragonborn enters Soverngarde and the Hall of Valor to drink and feast to the end of time.
Well, my DB won't be able to do that. I have sold their soul way too many times to different daedra for that to happen. But maybe for exactly that reason it gets to Sovengarde. the half dozen Daedra that try to grab it get in each others way and it just slipps them^^
@@advocatusdiaboli9971 Congratulations, you have started an Interplanar War between multiple Deadra and Aedra. The Heaven quake before the wrath of the gods as they struggle to claim your soul. Grab some mead; and enjoy the fireworks.
The Question is : Can the Dragonborn die? He has a Body that can be destroyed. But a Dragonsoul is immortal. Maybe he will forever a Ghost to wander Skyrim? Who knows what it will be at the End. And one Thing more. Paarthurnax said, that the World should have ended. But the Dragonborn breaks the Cycle. I think it has a Role in ES6.
Too bad that ESO couldn't be featured on this video, because the fun part is that the Vestige is also immortal due to in fact being a daedra that always respawns from amber plasm in Coldharbour everytime it dies.
@@abhabh6896 yeah, it respawns from azure plasm (my bad if I spelled amber plasm) using the Chaotic Creatia. Deadra respawn from the same azure plasm also using the Chaotic Creatia, Soul Shriven (Vestige included) respawn in Coldharbour using the same method due to Molag Bal wanting to constantly revive them after torturing them to death so he can torture the Soul Shriven over and over eternally inside Coldharbour. In a way, the Vestige is immortal and, whenever it dies, it just respawns at Coldharbour.
The Last Dragonborn actually ends up dying and remain in limbo, tugged around by all the Deadras/Aedras that want their soul in their realm for the rest of time.
I figure the last dragonborn probably just went like "fuck all of you I go where I please" and just floats around the planes as a spectral grey area nobody wants to touch
"A new hand touches the becon!" (Dragonborn screams internaly WTF NOT AIGEN!" :p speaking of, i wonder what would happend if you pick it up if you happend to be a vampyre or wherwolf at the time. specialy vampires would not be on good terms with that Aedra (Think she is considerd Aedra and not deadra)
Player: "Bethesda, what happened to *insert TES protagonist here*? Bethesda: "What do *you* think happened to them? :)" The freedom to interpret your own character, their path, and ultimately their fate, is one of the reasons I love The Elder Scrolls.
So since sheogorath mentions the severed head in the dark brotherhood quests does that mean that our oblivion character cannonicly was the night mothers listener
Bethesda’s take on what the player character does in lore is “yes” That’s why one game ends with the Dragon Break, so they can have every possible outcome be canon. So yes, they are.
@@zachlewis9751 The way i see it is every questline is canon and did happen, but if you personally didnt do them as your character then someone else in world did. So for example, the emperor is still assassinated in Skyrim regardless of whether it was the dragonborn or not, if not it was probably some random who became listener instead.
You can assume the events of each questline occur, but that the player character at the centre of them may not be the same for each. So the curse on the Cowl of Nocturnal was definitely lifted. The Mage's Guild was definitely assaulted by Mannimarco. Umbacano definitely died trying to resurrect an Ayleid king. Etc etc But was the Hero of Kvatch involved? Maybe. Maybe not.
I agree with you about the dragon born. They'd be way too powerful to leave in the world. With the bend will shout, they could raise an army of dragons and make themselves emperor.
I have all my protagonists be related in some way. Eternal Champion and Agent are dead from old age and the warp in the west. Neravarine is alive in Akavir still. Hero of Kvatch is Sheo Last Dragonborn alive
The Last Dragonborn is definitely imprisoned in Apocrypha. However during the companions questline it is mentioned that the heroes of Sovngarde may invade the Hunting Grounds to save the previous Harbingers trapped there due to their beast blood. That implies they can invade other realms of oblivion from aetherius and pull people out who have been bound there one way or another. I imagine the Last Dragonborn, who's soul belongs to Sovngarde by birthright alone (much less his feats) would be among their list of rescues for Shor's army when the time comes.
What doesnt make sense for the Dragonborn is suggested to be Akatosh who basically came to the mortal realm to stop Alduin which makes Mora's fascination more interesting but also makes it less likely that he could do anything to the Dragonborn as they are basically the reincarnation of a god
During my very first play through of skyrim, my head canon for my character was that he was literally the same character that I played in Oblivion just two hundred years older
I think that the last Dragonborn would simply go blind from reading the elder scrolls multiple times and would study the way of the voice with the Greybeards
At least we're not mentioning the Vestige; who beat 6 Daedric Princes up (as of right now) and pissed off literally *all* of them, killed a crazy amount of dragons without even being Dragonborn and even killed one dragon on the fucking moon, killed the vampire lord who bested Leki in combat, dunked on Mannimarco at the height of his power, is the only being (aside for Mora) to have knowledge about Ithelia and the concept/creation of the Prisoners, has time travelled to the First/Third/Fourth Era, saved Nirn from at least 10 doomsday-level scenarios.... all in 1 single year. No idea how/if they ever intend to end the Vestige's story, but since they're not around when the main games happens, I suppose either they're susceptible to old age (we don't know if the Vestige ages), Molag Bal was successful in reclaiming the Vestige's soul, they went on to explore the Aurbis, time travelled further to a further point, or settled down with Naryu Virian.
I've always liked the idea that the Eternal Champion possibly being High Chancellor Ocato or Jauffre. I don't believe it too seriously, but its just a fun idea to headcanon.
What’s extremely funny to me personally about this video was when he said ES6 wouldn’t come out until he was married and had his 4th child. I was 13 when Skyrim came out, I’m now currently 26 in 2024 and I’m married, I have 4 kids, and I’m still waiting for ES6
If only they didnt bother with 76, Starfield, or hell fallout 4 for that matter. It would be insane what kinda game we would get with all those resources poured into one game. Mabye even an ESO like game but just as a normal rpg and not a WOW clone

There is just no telling where my Dragonborn will wind up when he dies. He's a Nord, so Sovngarde? But He's also the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, so Sythis. Then again, he was a werewolf who was cured and then turned into a vampire, so that's two Daedric Princes that might want a say, but he's also a Nightengale, so there's a third. And since he is, in fact, Dragonborn, there may be an Aedra that wants a word as well. He also carries all of the Daedric weapons and artifacts... Darn. That's one complex afterlife.
It is likely its gonna go the same way as the other Elder Scroll games that while all the side quests happen its not necessarily the Dragonborn that does it. Although the only one that rly breaks "cannon" with who you think the Dragonborn should be is the Dark Brotherhood and u can choose to side with Imperials and destroy them. Also u dont have to be a vampire as part of the Vampire dlc

i did a d&d campaign set in skyrim 15 years after the events of TES5. in my world, i made the dragonborn only a small part of one quest (so as not to have him overshadow the group’s adventure) but in my world after defeating alduin and miraak he basically retired to a small hut in the pine forest, leaving skyrim to whatever fate came next. a lot of people resented him over it because he never got involved in the civil war, or in the events that followed the end of the civil war. he instead spent his time perfecting alteration magic, and even created a handful of new spells that nobody else in tamriel knew how to use properly. he kind of acted as the wise old man that they stumbled across in the woods

The interesting part about meeting Sheogorath in Skyrim, is it actually _is_ the Champion of Cyrodiil. Jyggalag's curse was broken by the Champion, and Mundus needed someone to fill the role of Sheogorath. That's part of the reason O.G Sheogorath was able to shake the curse placed on him by the other Daedra. That leaves the question of when will we meet Jyggalag again?
The 'Pocket Guide to the Empire' included with my 360 copy of Oblivion only says that the Neravrine likely vanished, so I'd honestly assume the Akavir trip is probably true.
I had always assumed that the Agent and the Eternal Champion were the same person, too. It works because the Agent dies at the end of Daggerfall and all the other games are so different.
I've always believed that the Nerverine, best player character, went to Akavir and Vivec went with him in an attempt to atone for his crimes, whatever they may have been.
Kind of like the idea that in the next game the Thalmor took most of Tamriel BECAUSE the Dragonborn was swept away into Herma Mora’s realm of Apocrypha, and so it’ll take a new hero to liberate whatever province the game’s set in from the Thalmor with some other twists in there.
@@caiuscosades1791I was just thinking the other day that The Last Dragonborn canonically could have worn the Amulet of Kings if it hadn't been destroyed...
@@BaronSengir1008except i think the Amulet of Kings doesnt exist anymore or for the very least doesnt matter as the portals to Oblivion are suppose to be permanently closed
@@caiuscosades1791Too bad that's just a wish dream. The more obvious is pretty much the Dragonborn is playing eternal mind games with Hearmaus Mora in Apocrypha and living sometimes in Solstheim far away from the political turmoil of Skyrim. He/She already defeated Alduin, they aren't gonna let some tentacle eyeballs of a blob cause more havoc. Plus the Dragonborn is a pretty smart fellow.
The Agent didn't die to the Numidium. That was a scrapped ending where you refused to give the totem to anyone and used it on yourself. I've done every ending in Daggerfall except Eadwyre and Akorithi's. The Hero dying isn't in the game thus it's non-canon much like Neloth being a scrapped asassination for the Morag Tong. Baurus being the Agent of Daggerfall and Ocato being the Eternal Champion are way cooler theories for those two imo.
I already did a story for my Dargonborn. She tries to recreat what the Dwemer did and ends up vanishing. Turns out it transports her to a different dimension where magic doesnt exist, but, radiation takes its place. Instead of great big cities, she's in the ruins of a city. Instead of bows, there's automatic guns. Instead of Dwemer automatons, there's robots. There are no horses either. Yes, she gets transported to Boston in the year 2287. She's in Fallout 4. Also, she's stripped of everything and must find stuff to protect and defend herself with.
The end of the Dragonborn is that, after many years collecting a horde that would make every dragon he absorbed jealous, he fell off the side of a mountain he was jumping on and died. This sets off a civil war among all the daedric princes that claimed the rights to his soul. In the chaos, the Dragonborn crouches, becoming literally undetectable, then goes to sovngard by showing Tsun the stamp on his hand.
I never played oblivion, so I never saw the akitosh vs dagon fight, I'm glad that despite the older graphics, it looks just as badass as I imagined. Thanks.
Page Up and Page Down can be used to angle the camera up or down for Daggerfall. Or the Home / Insert keys, I forget. Those can be changed in the key bindings, of course.
Not to forget the theory, that the ebony warrior you meet in Skyrim is The Forgotten Hero from, I think Elder Scrolls Legends? So that'd mean, their story ends in a duel against The Last Dragonborn, and getting their wish to go to Sovngard.
I already see all my favorite headcanons mentioned and discussed in the comments so I'm just gonna say in Daggerfall 6:40 YOU CAN LOOK DOWN...and set it to mouse look, and bind keys more or less to standard First Person Shooter controls, all that kind of stuff without mods. (Yes okay sure, the default controls suck) Nice vid!
Fun story, if you bought the collectors edition Oblivion, it came with a little leather book that was a travelers guide to Tamriel, and it says the nerrarvarine went to Akavir and is still alive as well.

My personal head cannon for my characters across the Elder Scrolls is that it is a lineage of heroes. The Vestige of ESO being the first of note in the family line. Followed by the Eternal Champion, who is also the Agent of Daggerfall. In Arena Ria Silmane says that you were left to die in the Imperial dungeons since you were a minor part of the court i.e. in some way related to Talin. I personally like the idea that the Eternal Champion becomes a member of the Blades after the events of Arena and is then entrusted with the mission in Daggerfall. Then, his son is whisked away in chains as "a child born on a certain day to uncertain parents" but its just Uriel saying, "Send the Champion's kid." Then much like the Eternal Champion being sent to Daggerfall, the "nereverine" (I put it in quotes, because there is some fluff lore that suggests the great houses and ash tribes sending you out was them just telling you to go do something to claim that you filled the prophecy) is sent by the Emperor to Akavir to try and see if it was worth launching a campaign, before being intercepted upon his return and once again whisked into the Imperial Dungeon to await the meeting with the Emperor. Uriel being super dramatic and clandestine tries to act like he doesn't know the nereverine/hero of Kvatch in the dungeon, but it's why he trusts him so much. Then after disappearing into Oblivion his children continue his line in Cyrodil until one of them wants to return to their ancestral homeland only to be caught at the border and sentenced to death alongside the Stormcloak rebels and Ulfric himself.
In my game, the dragonborn saw a dragon, warned the jarl, then refused to go to bleaks falls barrow, instead finding a haunted farm. He solved a mystery and gained the deed, becoming a farmer.
it’s so funny you bring up the champion of cyrodiil thing because i was just thinking that same thing TWO days ago while watching my brother play oblivion
I think the LDB might ultimately be consumed by Herma Mora. Though, I assume before that, the LDB will rally the empire again. Talos was a DB without the opportunity to gulp dragonsouls by the gallon and still conquered the world. Now we habe a DB with such a source of power, at least two dragons to call on for aid, and a shout that literally dominates the mind. Therefore, I think the story between TESV and VI will be that the Dragonborn "ended the civil war in skyrim" (regardless of how), and rallied the nords and the empire behind them to fight the Thalmor (which are mandatory antagonists in TESV). Coincidentally, the throne was unexpecedly empty anyway, since Titus Mede died on his ship near Solitude. Maybe at some point then the DB turns... weird and vanishes (into apocrypha).
Honestly it just seems like such a copout ending for the Dragonborn that only someone with the imagination of Emil Pagliarulo would come up with. They're pretty much an aspect of Talos, meaning they are probably the only being in existence that could kick that tentacled fucker's ass in his own realm and leave. I like to think that he tried to imprison the LDB, but they just went full Omni-Man on Apocrypha and left it in ruins, then some years later became the new emperor, pretty much becoming the next Tiber Septim, ruling the empire and the next game is another protagonist helping the LDB's empire take on the Thalmor in the next Great War.
@@caiuscosades1791 Is a dragonborn not more an aspect of Akatosh? At least that is where the divinity comes from. The only connection to Talos is that they were both dragonborn.
@@advocatusdiaboli9971 it's so complicated, some say it's Akatosh, some say Talos and the lore says that Kynareth gave humans the ability to become Dragonborn because Alessia prayed to her. Then that old guy with the Skaal said that it was The All Maker, who is pretty much Padomay, the primordial chaos before existence. I personally think that the Dragonborn were ordained by Akatosh and Kynareth originally but Talos lent a portion of his power to make the Dragonborn who they are, to operate as an extension of himself because of his lost worship thanks to the Thalmor's ban.
@@caiuscosades1791 I am pretty sure Talos the god was not connected to the creation of Dragonborns, as he himself was a dragonborn before he ascended to godhood. I think the best source here is Paarthurnax, who directly relates dragons and dovakhin to Akatosh. Of course, it is possible that this specific dragonborn is also a chosen of talos, but I do not see any sign for that.
@@caiuscosades1791Its both, like Pelinal the LDB is an aspect of both Akatosh (Anuiel) and Talos (Lorkhan). Given A the fact that Shor (Nordic Aspect of Lorkhan) is missing in Sovngarde and you can sit on his throne in Sovngarde, and B. You are the Last Dragonborn created by Akatosh himself and you slay Alduin, their essence being reabsorbed by Akatosh.

Great video. I like to play the ELder Scrolls games with the idea of the heroes all being the same dude. A Norde male, In ESO gets his soul stolen becomign the Vestige, gets it back in time, deals with many threats, has the dragonblood but cannot use the Amulet of Kings due to not being of royal lineage, the power remains dormant for years. Father was a Nord werewolf with the dragonblood, mother a Dunmer vampire where Neravar would reincarnate into the hero through her Dunmer origin. Eventually somehow the hero is sent forward in time after ESO's events wrap up, her is taken in by Talin like a son. Eentually defeats Tharn, deals with Daggerfall, and barely remembers that aside form scatttered jumbled memories of his multiple selves splitting, and remerging at he end of the War In The West. Serves the Empire for a bit but fades into the background of events. Fate plays out funny as he remembers past events but others can never recall his name or face or exact deeds, only remembering him for the larger events or the many titles he went by. He eventually gets arrested by the Empire and Uriel Septim sends him with a gut feeling to Morrowind. That shit happens and afterwards goes on a trip to Akavir, and eventually returns to Tamriel, gets arrested again, goes through Oblivion, He temproarily becomes Sheogorath but soon the 2 seperate due to Akatosh's influence, and 200 years later Skyrim. Dude does not age due to all the shit he's been through involving gods, Daedric Princes, and magic. I know it's a mess, but I love the idea of this long lived hero who's gone through so mch shit, heeds each time the call to adventure, then fades into the background with people only ever remembering his legend, and he also just tends to play dumb knowing fate will play out in his favor somehow.
I have a mod downloaded where The Nerevarine returns and you track him down, ultimately finding him at the Great Shrine of Azura. Once you find him he just kinda sits there and acts like a wise old man and gives the Dragonborn some demigod-to-demigod advice.
I always headcanon-ed that the High Chancellor in Oblivion (Ocato? Its been a while) that is kind of running the empire after the Septims were murdered was the eternal champion from Arena. Meaning he was there with the emperor when he was talking to the agent sent to Daggerfall too.
I think it’s ironic that you didn’t mention the dialogue of Neloth making the last Dragonborn officially a member of House Telvanni and saying in a few decades you’d be seen as nobility when we returns to Morrowind in a few decades. Perhaps the last Dragonborn actually just goes with him.
I really liked the interpretation on mantling Sheogorath subsuming the champion of cyrodill. I have my head canon that since they mantled sheogorath AND Pelinal Whitestrake that their soul was split into two and the crusader part of them is running around as a ghost. Too many people though say that skyrim confirms that the Champion of Cyrodill was a male nord but forget that he is the god of madness and can choose whatever form he wants.
I personally like to think Ocato is the Eternal Champion, no real proof but I just really like the thought that Ocato, even after the Septim dynasty fell, he tried to help his friends empire even after he died.
Enjoyed your video. I recently came up with the idea of the Agent in Daggerfall being a Blades member since Blades were indeed the "agents" of the Emperor. And given the time that passes between that time and Morrowind and Oblivion the Agent could have been either Caius Cosades or Jauffre even. In the latter case (Jauffre) he may have succeeded quite well in Daggerfall and became a favorite of the Emperor and a high riser in the Blades as a result thus explaining him ending up as their Grandmaster. In the first case (Caius Cosades) he may not have done so well nor pleased the Emperor so was sent out to what was viewed as a backwards province and assigned not to it's capitol even and spiraled down into a skooma addict there. Maybe even suffered some PTSD from his experiences in Daggerfall as well thus using skooma as his method of coping with same. I'm no expert in the lore of Elder Scrolls but I liked the idea above of playing Daggerfall Unity again as one of these two characters so it worked for me.
Guys, if you ever think that you still haven't done anything in your life then don't worry because TES 6 still hasn't released yet so there is still time to make do with what you have and live your best life, other than that, if ever TES 6 get's released and you still haven't touched grass then ur screwed
I like to imagine that after the last Dragonborn dies all the daedric princes they sold their soul to start squabbling over who gets it while Akatosh just walks in and picks them up like a toddler being taken home after preschool.
I feel you, since 11/11/11 I have graduated middle and high-school, college, served 8 years (and counting) in the army, married, have a kid with one on the way and even waited 10 years to kill the witness (destiny 2) and still Nada
It'd be kind of lame if the Dragonborn got owned by Herma that much. Clavicus already tells us we're almost half as strong as a Daedric Lord ourselves. It'd be much more amusing if the Dragonborn wins that fight, and you only find out if you go looking for Hermeus... and find out the Dragonborn did a funny and did a Jiggy-to-Sheo-type funny.
So you're saying he BECAME Hermaeus Mora. That... Wouldn't be out of the picture. The Dragonborn is most likely a Shezzarine or some sort of equivalent demigod-esque being, especially if they're almost half as strong as a Daedric Prince. Which, let me remind you, is more powerful than a Divine as they didn't give up their power to help create the mortal plane. This means the Dragonborn is probably 3/4ths as powerful as a Divine if not equal to. The question is, how would one mantle Hermaeus Mora, and WHY would you want to? For how slow the tentacled bastard talks, you damn near need to be immortal just to hold a basic conversation with him. I aged a good 30 years the first time I spoke to him about Bend Will all the way back in 2013. One minute, I was 13 and in 8th grade. The next minute I was 43 and experiencing chronic joint pain and male pattern baldness. Now I'm somehow back to being 24 and the slimy goat-pupiled bastard never took the chronic joint pain back.
That's early game dragonborn, imagine how powerful he would become after the events of the dragonborn's dlc, all the magic, thu'um, and skills TLD obtained could easily rival and beat multiple daedric princes.
Pls do a video on the dragur deathlord warlord gathrik. He’s the strongest draugr in Skyrim and one of the tallest humanoid figures in Skyrim (on par with Tsun and Ebony Warrior) and his past is mysterious. I’d love to hear your theories as to why he’s so tall and his origins.
I think it would be a good wrap up for the series if in whatever the final game is, all of the previous mainline protagonists lend their aid to the player directly or indirectly.
The nerevarine is either travelling mundus or some other realm or he met his end somewhere while saving people. Yagrum bagarn does mention that he was in some outer realm when the rest of the dwemer dissappeared. Hero of kvatch becomes sheogorath or my headcannon sheogorath watches the oblivion crisis from close up. The dragonborn probably adopts a kid, then becomes entrapped by herma mora or maybe he dies in the civil war when it continues or maybe a future war that might be started by the thalmor. Or he might travel the world and other rrealms for knowledge and eventually ending up as miraak, then get killed by people he once knew. I think it would bring the dragonborns story to a full circle he beats up villains all of his life but by the end he has become one.
lol I knew Skyrim Sheo was the Hero of Kvatch when I met him and he's like "I was there for the oblivion crisis... And the CHEESE! To die for!" or something like that xD I mainly remember him mentioning that he was present for the Crisis along with the cheese during oblivion being "to die for" lol

A point that was never mentioned with the Eternal Champion was the fact that Arena ends in 3e 399, only 34 years before the events of Oblivion, meaning the Champion couldn't have been older than 70, give or take a few years.

And everything he mentions is a reference to events in Oblivion...
You could roleplay the Dragonborn as the sane reminants of the Hero of Kvatch that were separated from Sheogorath by Akatosh and placed into a new body when the Dragon crisis started. If you want to make it even more inception like

@@HiAgainTheNameIsStillAyleI mean yeah but it’s pretty much explicit that LDB is a Shezarrine.
My hope for the Dragonborn is that he simply retired to the countryside with his wife and children. Skyrim was the first game in the series to have marriage and adoption, and the whole Hearthfire DLC was about building a house. It would be a fitting and deserved end for him.
Edit: I wrote this before I got to where you suggested the same thing lol
Lots of little Argonian children running around.
or he rise to become the new emperor like the old one who had the dragon bloodline
Considering the canon Dragonborn joined Harkon he first of all is immortal but is now locked in Hermaeus Mora's realm of Oblivion for eternity.
@@nbHawkeye What are you talking about? That is literally not canon.
I wish, but being Dragonborn is something of a double-edged sword. Having the soul of a dragon means having the ambition of a dragon. Even if the LDB retired to the countryside, that hunger for power and dominion would always be eating at them. They may not even be capable of living a satisfying, normal life.

I read a theory once that every player character in every elder scrolls game is an incarnation of the god Lorkhan, which was pretty interesting to me.
The reason you can sit in Shor's throne is because it's just a reused asset that they didn't disable when they placed it.

In The Elder Scrolls, headcanon is MORE true than actual canon.
"Each reader sees different reflections through different lenses, and may come away with a different reading. But at the same time, all of it is true. Even the falsehoods. Especially the falsehoods."
So Maiq isn't a liar 😂.
This one line explains why Elderscrolls lore is annoying and dumb. Because they give everything and nothing at the same time.
The simple fact is, we all can decide what IS canon cause we ARE the Godhead
Now that's just wrong, yes two people can have different believes on the same topics and both of them are true but there's some stuff that can't be watered down to "my headcanon is..." Like the creation myths, lorkhan trick and his sundering, the disapprences of the dwemer, the fall of the ayleids, the rise of Tiber septim, the numidium, the prisoner role, the death of indoril nerevar, the death of Uriel septim, the rise of the slave rebellion, the fall of lygg, the aedras and daedras, anu padomay...etc
When it comes to the actual canon then Bethesda have the actual power and ability to say what’s canon and what’s not. No has the say when it comes to something like only the creators have the say, and we all have to deal with it. So if Bethesda went and say the Dragonborn is a white nord with blond hair and has an iron sword and copper iron shield (forgot what it’s called), one of the bandit armor, iron helmet, iron gauntlets, an iron boots, as well as the Dragonborn only did the main story fought vampire killed their leader, fought and defeated miraak. That would be the actual canon to the game lore if Bethesda comes out and say it is. But they won’t.
For the Nerevarine I always just imagined the council saw them as a threat considering their god killing activities and sent them to Akavir for a little bit in hopes that they would die but they didn’t. So sometime after the Red Year and when they stop getting orders they go back to Morrowind only to nope on out of there once they see the consequences of their actions
Nerevarine: "Ah, well this sucks. I'm gonna go look for a lusty argonian."
It is interesting to think that with the ALMSIVI, Morrowind probably could have survived into the 4e and red mountain wouldnt have erupted since the heart would still be there. However, this is an impossible timeline as there was no possible way the nerevarine could have defeated Dagoth ur without destroying the heart.
One thing to note is the Hero of Kvatch ("Champion of Cyrodil" is not a title unique to that character, sorry dude) as the Mad God is distinctly DIFFERENT from the original Mad God. Original Sheogorath loved to create madness,and drive people insane. However, as shown in the Sheo quest in Skyrim, the remantled Sheogorath tries to CURE the madness of those souls who have entered his realm.
My headcanon is that the Hero of Kvatch is still the Hero of Kvatch and only appears as Sheogorath when doing official Shivering Isles business, because that’s what’s expected from Sheogorath.
@@Nagtloper431 I'm with you. I think he'd rather go back and have fun as the Gray Fox more than stay in the Shimmering Isles.

In Oblivion, Mannimarco is also the Necromancer's Moon who bestows the Shade of the Revenant on necromantic altars every 8 days. It allows necromancers to create black soul gems. So in a way, there are two Mannimarcos in Oblivion.

Well, my DB won't be able to do that. I have sold their soul way too many times to different daedra for that to happen.

The Question is : Can the Dragonborn die? He has a Body that can be destroyed. But a Dragonsoul is immortal. Maybe he will forever a Ghost to wander Skyrim? Who knows what it will be at the End. And one Thing more. Paarthurnax said, that the World should have ended. But the Dragonborn breaks the Cycle. I think it has a Role in ES6.
Too bad that ESO couldn't be featured on this video, because the fun part is that the Vestige is also immortal due to in fact being a daedra that always respawns from amber plasm in Coldharbour everytime it dies.
Vestige isa daedra?
@@abhabh6896 yeah, it respawns from azure plasm (my bad if I spelled amber plasm) using the Chaotic Creatia. Deadra respawn from the same azure plasm also using the Chaotic Creatia, Soul Shriven (Vestige included) respawn in Coldharbour using the same method due to Molag Bal wanting to constantly revive them after torturing them to death so he can torture the Soul Shriven over and over eternally inside Coldharbour.
In a way, the Vestige is immortal and, whenever it dies, it just respawns at Coldharbour.
The Last Dragonborn actually ends up dying and remain in limbo, tugged around by all the Deadras/Aedras that want their soul in their realm for the rest of time.
By the end of the dragonborn's dlc, TLD would grow powerful enough to challenge the gods and possibly win.

The freedom to interpret your own character, their path, and ultimately their fate, is one of the reasons I love The Elder Scrolls.
So since sheogorath mentions the severed head in the dark brotherhood quests does that mean that our oblivion character cannonicly was the night mothers listener
Bethesda’s take on what the player character does in lore is “yes”
That’s why one game ends with the Dragon Break, so they can have every possible outcome be canon. So yes, they are.
@@zachlewis9751 The way i see it is every questline is canon and did happen, but if you personally didnt do them as your character then someone else in world did. So for example, the emperor is still assassinated in Skyrim regardless of whether it was the dragonborn or not, if not it was probably some random who became listener instead.
You can assume the events of each questline occur, but that the player character at the centre of them may not be the same for each.
So the curse on the Cowl of Nocturnal was definitely lifted.
The Mage's Guild was definitely assaulted by Mannimarco.
Umbacano definitely died trying to resurrect an Ayleid king.
Etc etc
But was the Hero of Kvatch involved? Maybe. Maybe not.
I agree with you about the dragon born. They'd be way too powerful to leave in the world. With the bend will shout, they could raise an army of dragons and make themselves emperor.
I have all my protagonists be related in some way.
Eternal Champion and Agent are dead from old age and the warp in the west.
Neravarine is alive in Akavir still.
Hero of Kvatch is Sheo
Last Dragonborn alive
What about until elder scrolls 6
Then they will be in Sovenguard?
The Last Dragonborn is definitely imprisoned in Apocrypha.
However during the companions questline it is mentioned that the heroes of Sovngarde may invade the Hunting Grounds to save the previous Harbingers trapped there due to their beast blood.
That implies they can invade other realms of oblivion from aetherius and pull people out who have been bound there one way or another.
I imagine the Last Dragonborn, who's soul belongs to Sovngarde by birthright alone (much less his feats) would be among their list of rescues for Shor's army when the time comes.
The dragonborn settled down with his notwife serana and raised adopted kids together. Including nazeems daughter after he shouted him to ash.
Master has graced us with another video, uploaded whenever the F*RICK he wants to
What doesnt make sense for the Dragonborn is suggested to be Akatosh who basically came to the mortal realm to stop Alduin which makes Mora's fascination more interesting but also makes it less likely that he could do anything to the Dragonborn as they are basically the reincarnation of a god
We're all Lorkhan... reincarnated to mortal form in order to enjoy or suffer the splendor we sacrificed ourselves for oh so long ago.
Ok, Mancan camaron.....
after the events in Skyrim, the last dragonborn finally gets to visit the cloud district with Nazeem.
During my very first play through of skyrim, my head canon for my character was that he was literally the same character that I played in Oblivion just two hundred years older
I think that the last Dragonborn would simply go blind from reading the elder scrolls multiple times and would study the way of the voice with the Greybeards
At least we're not mentioning the Vestige; who beat 6 Daedric Princes up (as of right now) and pissed off literally *all* of them, killed a crazy amount of dragons without even being Dragonborn and even killed one dragon on the fucking moon, killed the vampire lord who bested Leki in combat, dunked on Mannimarco at the height of his power, is the only being (aside for Mora) to have knowledge about Ithelia and the concept/creation of the Prisoners, has time travelled to the First/Third/Fourth Era, saved Nirn from at least 10 doomsday-level scenarios.... all in 1 single year.
No idea how/if they ever intend to end the Vestige's story, but since they're not around when the main games happens, I suppose either they're susceptible to old age (we don't know if the Vestige ages), Molag Bal was successful in reclaiming the Vestige's soul, they went on to explore the Aurbis, time travelled further to a further point, or settled down with Naryu Virian.
Idk man I don’t see that game as canon but that’s my head canon mmos always have you doin some crazy shit

There is just no telling where my Dragonborn will wind up when he dies. He's a Nord, so Sovngarde? But He's also the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, so Sythis. Then again, he was a werewolf who was cured and then turned into a vampire, so that's two Daedric Princes that might want a say, but he's also a Nightengale, so there's a third. And since he is, in fact, Dragonborn, there may be an Aedra that wants a word as well. He also carries all of the Daedric weapons and artifacts... Darn. That's one complex afterlife.
It is likely its gonna go the same way as the other Elder Scroll games that while all the side quests happen its not necessarily the Dragonborn that does it. Although the only one that rly breaks "cannon" with who you think the Dragonborn should be is the Dark Brotherhood and u can choose to side with Imperials and destroy them.

The interesting part about meeting Sheogorath in Skyrim, is it actually _is_ the Champion of Cyrodiil. Jyggalag's curse was broken by the Champion, and Mundus needed someone to fill the role of Sheogorath. That's part of the reason O.G Sheogorath was able to shake the curse placed on him by the other Daedra.
That leaves the question of when will we meet Jyggalag again?
The 'Pocket Guide to the Empire' included with my 360 copy of Oblivion only says that the Neravrine likely vanished, so I'd honestly assume the Akavir trip is probably true.
I had always assumed that the Agent and the Eternal Champion were the same person, too. It works because the Agent dies at the end of Daggerfall and all the other games are so different.
these videos remind of a more genuine era of youtube, where having a bit was more fun than making a brand, i love your creativity master neloth
I've always believed that the Nerverine, best player character, went to Akavir and Vivec went with him in an attempt to atone for his crimes, whatever they may have been.
Kind of like the idea that in the next game the Thalmor took most of Tamriel BECAUSE the Dragonborn was swept away into Herma Mora’s realm of Apocrypha, and so it’ll take a new hero to liberate whatever province the game’s set in from the Thalmor with some other twists in there.
I would love the next game to have the Dragonborn becoming the new emperor. For some reason it just seems fitting.

I've done every ending in Daggerfall except Eadwyre and Akorithi's. The Hero dying isn't in the game thus it's non-canon much like Neloth being a scrapped asassination for the Morag Tong. Baurus being the Agent of Daggerfall and Ocato being the Eternal Champion are way cooler theories for those two imo.
Baurus couldn't be the agent. Jauffre tells us that he was one of the youngest Blades member. Daggerfall takes place 30 years before Oblivion
I already did a story for my Dargonborn. She tries to recreat what the Dwemer did and ends up vanishing. Turns out it transports her to a different dimension where magic doesnt exist, but, radiation takes its place. Instead of great big cities, she's in the ruins of a city. Instead of bows, there's automatic guns. Instead of Dwemer automatons, there's robots. There are no horses either. Yes, she gets transported to Boston in the year 2287. She's in Fallout 4. Also, she's stripped of everything and must find stuff to protect and defend herself with.
😂 I love this one
The end of the Dragonborn is that, after many years collecting a horde that would make every dragon he absorbed jealous, he fell off the side of a mountain he was jumping on and died. This sets off a civil war among all the daedric princes that claimed the rights to his soul. In the chaos, the Dragonborn crouches, becoming literally undetectable, then goes to sovngard by showing Tsun the stamp on his hand.
I never played oblivion, so I never saw the akitosh vs dagon fight, I'm glad that despite the older graphics, it looks just as badass as I imagined. Thanks.
Page Up and Page Down can be used to angle the camera up or down for Daggerfall. Or the Home / Insert keys, I forget. Those can be changed in the key bindings, of course.
My dragonborn awaits for events to unfold towards The Elder Scrolls 6🤌
Beyond Skyrim awaits
Not to forget the theory, that the ebony warrior you meet in Skyrim is The Forgotten Hero from, I think Elder Scrolls Legends? So that'd mean, their story ends in a duel against The Last Dragonborn, and getting their wish to go to Sovngard.
I already see all my favorite headcanons mentioned and discussed in the comments so I'm just gonna say in Daggerfall 6:40 YOU CAN LOOK DOWN...and set it to mouse look, and bind keys more or less to standard First Person Shooter controls, all that kind of stuff without mods. (Yes okay sure, the default controls suck)
Nice vid!
I just finished the whole Dragonborn dlc recently. It’s funny to imagine that this is Neloth’s real youtube channel.
I can’t imagine the Dragonborn handling everything he did and then finally giving into Herma-Mora.
Yea I don’t see mora corrupting him
This is a really great video 👌 Keep up the great work man!
Fun story, if you bought the collectors edition Oblivion, it came with a little leather book that was a travelers guide to Tamriel, and it says the nerrarvarine went to Akavir and is still alive as well.
0:17 that makes me think. How would the OG Avengers team handle The Warp in the West, Dagoth Ur, The Oblivion Crisis and The Dragon Crisis and let's not forget Mirrak and Harkon
Thor solos dagon no diff
Mehrunes Dagon squints in the distance at a screaming green dot before he gets shot into space by the Hulk, who then accidentally collapses the White Gold tower because he runs right through the base of it while dragging Daedra to their deaths.
The hulk after thrashing dagoth: puny god
@vegetableman3911 dagon: you can't defeat me!
Thor: oh I know...but he can
*akatosh*
@@AlexSmith-tp7xu HAHA YES
don’t forget Iron Man taking advantage of Dwemer tech and camping outside Daedra spawn points just to build dragon/daedric prince buster suits
My personal head cannon for my characters across the Elder Scrolls is that it is a lineage of heroes. The Vestige of ESO being the first of note in the family line. Followed by the Eternal Champion, who is also the Agent of Daggerfall. In Arena Ria Silmane says that you were left to die in the Imperial dungeons since you were a minor part of the court i.e. in some way related to Talin. I personally like the idea that the Eternal Champion becomes a member of the Blades after the events of Arena and is then entrusted with the mission in Daggerfall. Then, his son is whisked away in chains as "a child born on a certain day to uncertain parents" but its just Uriel saying, "Send the Champion's kid." Then much like the Eternal Champion being sent to Daggerfall, the "nereverine" (I put it in quotes, because there is some fluff lore that suggests the great houses and ash tribes sending you out was them just telling you to go do something to claim that you filled the prophecy) is sent by the Emperor to Akavir to try and see if it was worth launching a campaign, before being intercepted upon his return and once again whisked into the Imperial Dungeon to await the meeting with the Emperor. Uriel being super dramatic and clandestine tries to act like he doesn't know the nereverine/hero of Kvatch in the dungeon, but it's why he trusts him so much. Then after disappearing into Oblivion his children continue his line in Cyrodil until one of them wants to return to their ancestral homeland only to be caught at the border and sentenced to death alongside the Stormcloak rebels and Ulfric himself.
YES YOU ARE CREATIVE BEYOND LIMIT😎 i always watch your videos untill the end beacuse you explain the magnificent elder scrolls very well
In my game, the dragonborn saw a dragon, warned the jarl, then refused to go to bleaks falls barrow, instead finding a haunted farm. He solved a mystery and gained the deed, becoming a farmer.
it’s so funny you bring up the champion of cyrodiil thing because i was just thinking that same thing TWO days ago while watching my brother play oblivion
I think the LDB might ultimately be consumed by Herma Mora. Though, I assume before that, the LDB will rally the empire again. Talos was a DB without the opportunity to gulp dragonsouls by the gallon and still conquered the world. Now we habe a DB with such a source of power, at least two dragons to call on for aid, and a shout that literally dominates the mind.
Therefore, I think the story between TESV and VI will be that the Dragonborn "ended the civil war in skyrim" (regardless of how), and rallied the nords and the empire behind them to fight the Thalmor (which are mandatory antagonists in TESV). Coincidentally, the throne was unexpecedly empty anyway, since Titus Mede died on his ship near Solitude.
Maybe at some point then the DB turns... weird and vanishes (into apocrypha).
Honestly it just seems like such a copout ending for the Dragonborn that only someone with the imagination of Emil Pagliarulo would come up with. They're pretty much an aspect of Talos, meaning they are probably the only being in existence that could kick that tentacled fucker's ass in his own realm and leave. I like to think that he tried to imprison the LDB, but they just went full Omni-Man on Apocrypha and left it in ruins, then some years later became the new emperor, pretty much becoming the next Tiber Septim, ruling the empire and the next game is another protagonist helping the LDB's empire take on the Thalmor in the next Great War.
@@caiuscosades1791 Is a dragonborn not more an aspect of Akatosh? At least that is where the divinity comes from. The only connection to Talos is that they were both dragonborn.
@@advocatusdiaboli9971 it's so complicated, some say it's Akatosh, some say Talos and the lore says that Kynareth gave humans the ability to become Dragonborn because Alessia prayed to her. Then that old guy with the Skaal said that it was The All Maker, who is pretty much Padomay, the primordial chaos before existence. I personally think that the Dragonborn were ordained by Akatosh and Kynareth originally but Talos lent a portion of his power to make the Dragonborn who they are, to operate as an extension of himself because of his lost worship thanks to the Thalmor's ban.
@@caiuscosades1791 I am pretty sure Talos the god was not connected to the creation of Dragonborns, as he himself was a dragonborn before he ascended to godhood.
I think the best source here is Paarthurnax, who directly relates dragons and dovakhin to Akatosh. Of course, it is possible that this specific dragonborn is also a chosen of talos, but I do not see any sign for that.
@@caiuscosades1791Its both, like Pelinal the LDB is an aspect of both Akatosh (Anuiel) and Talos (Lorkhan). Given A the fact that Shor (Nordic Aspect of Lorkhan) is missing in Sovngarde and you can sit on his throne in Sovngarde, and B. You are the Last Dragonborn created by Akatosh himself and you slay Alduin, their essence being reabsorbed by Akatosh.
10:55 Thanks to the quest "Ahnassi, a special friend", I can't unsee the nerevarine there chilling with either Ahnassi herself, or with a Tiger gf.
Thanks, Todd.
Great video. I like to play the ELder Scrolls games with the idea of the heroes all being the same dude. A Norde male, In ESO gets his soul stolen becomign the Vestige, gets it back in time, deals with many threats, has the dragonblood but cannot use the Amulet of Kings due to not being of royal lineage, the power remains dormant for years. Father was a Nord werewolf with the dragonblood, mother a Dunmer vampire where Neravar would reincarnate into the hero through her Dunmer origin. Eventually somehow the hero is sent forward in time after ESO's events wrap up, her is taken in by Talin like a son. Eentually defeats Tharn, deals with Daggerfall, and barely remembers that aside form scatttered jumbled memories of his multiple selves splitting, and remerging at he end of the War In The West. Serves the Empire for a bit but fades into the background of events. Fate plays out funny as he remembers past events but others can never recall his name or face or exact deeds, only remembering him for the larger events or the many titles he went by. He eventually gets arrested by the Empire and Uriel Septim sends him with a gut feeling to Morrowind. That shit happens and afterwards goes on a trip to Akavir, and eventually returns to Tamriel, gets arrested again, goes through Oblivion, He temproarily becomes Sheogorath but soon the 2 seperate due to Akatosh's influence, and 200 years later Skyrim. Dude does not age due to all the shit he's been through involving gods, Daedric Princes, and magic. I know it's a mess, but I love the idea of this long lived hero who's gone through so mch shit, heeds each time the call to adventure, then fades into the background with people only ever remembering his legend, and he also just tends to play dumb knowing fate will play out in his favor somehow.
The Nerevarine is immortal, if any character reaches Morrowind that's the only explanation needed besides being undead.
@@mando_dablord2646 Good point.
I have a mod downloaded where The Nerevarine returns and you track him down, ultimately finding him at the Great Shrine of Azura. Once you find him he just kinda sits there and acts like a wise old man and gives the Dragonborn some demigod-to-demigod advice.
I always headcanon-ed that the High Chancellor in Oblivion (Ocato? Its been a while) that is kind of running the empire after the Septims were murdered was the eternal champion from Arena. Meaning he was there with the emperor when he was talking to the agent sent to Daggerfall too.
I think it’s ironic that you didn’t mention the dialogue of Neloth making the last Dragonborn officially a member of House Telvanni and saying in a few decades you’d be seen as nobility when we returns to Morrowind in a few decades. Perhaps the last Dragonborn actually just goes with him.
I really liked the interpretation on mantling Sheogorath subsuming the champion of cyrodill. I have my head canon that since they mantled sheogorath AND Pelinal Whitestrake that their soul was split into two and the crusader part of them is running around as a ghost. Too many people though say that skyrim confirms that the Champion of Cyrodill was a male nord but forget that he is the god of madness and can choose whatever form he wants.
Liked for the title & thumbnail, so much potential
I personally like to think Ocato is the Eternal Champion, no real proof but I just really like the thought that Ocato, even after the Septim dynasty fell, he tried to help his friends empire even after he died.
I don’t think it as necessary as people seem to believe it is. That the previous antagonist are out of the picture for the next game.
Well seems i found a new Skyrim lore channel to watch :)
You definitely earned my subscription and likes.
Enjoyed your video. I recently came up with the idea of the Agent in Daggerfall being a Blades member since Blades were indeed the "agents" of the Emperor. And given the time that passes between that time and Morrowind and Oblivion the Agent could have been either Caius Cosades or Jauffre even.
In the latter case (Jauffre) he may have succeeded quite well in Daggerfall and became a favorite of the Emperor and a high riser in the Blades as a result thus explaining him ending up as their Grandmaster.
In the first case (Caius Cosades) he may not have done so well nor pleased the Emperor so was sent out to what was viewed as a backwards province and assigned not to it's capitol even and spiraled down into a skooma addict there. Maybe even suffered some PTSD from his experiences in Daggerfall as well thus using skooma as his method of coping with same.
I'm no expert in the lore of Elder Scrolls but I liked the idea above of playing Daggerfall Unity again as one of these two characters so it worked for me.
Guys, if you ever think that you still haven't done anything in your life then don't worry because TES 6 still hasn't released yet so there is still time to make do with what you have and live your best life, other than that, if ever TES 6 get's released and you still haven't touched grass then ur screwed
People always forget the cheese reference Sheo makes in Skyrim. Remember, eating cheese wheels to heal os an infamous meme.
I like to imagine that after the last Dragonborn dies all the daedric princes they sold their soul to start squabbling over who gets it while Akatosh just walks in and picks them up like a toddler being taken home after preschool.
Holy moly I never knew it took 10 years for the first elder scrolls to finish. Now that’s a journey and a half
I feel you, since 11/11/11 I have graduated middle and high-school, college, served 8 years (and counting) in the army, married, have a kid with one on the way and even waited 10 years to kill the witness (destiny 2) and still Nada
It'd be kind of lame if the Dragonborn got owned by Herma that much. Clavicus already tells us we're almost half as strong as a Daedric Lord ourselves.
It'd be much more amusing if the Dragonborn wins that fight, and you only find out if you go looking for Hermeus... and find out the Dragonborn did a funny and did a Jiggy-to-Sheo-type funny.
So you're saying he BECAME Hermaeus Mora. That... Wouldn't be out of the picture. The Dragonborn is most likely a Shezzarine or some sort of equivalent demigod-esque being, especially if they're almost half as strong as a Daedric Prince. Which, let me remind you, is more powerful than a Divine as they didn't give up their power to help create the mortal plane. This means the Dragonborn is probably 3/4ths as powerful as a Divine if not equal to.
The question is, how would one mantle Hermaeus Mora, and WHY would you want to? For how slow the tentacled bastard talks, you damn near need to be immortal just to hold a basic conversation with him. I aged a good 30 years the first time I spoke to him about Bend Will all the way back in 2013. One minute, I was 13 and in 8th grade. The next minute I was 43 and experiencing chronic joint pain and male pattern baldness. Now I'm somehow back to being 24 and the slimy goat-pupiled bastard never took the chronic joint pain back.
That's early game dragonborn, imagine how powerful he would become after the events of the dragonborn's dlc, all the magic, thu'um, and skills TLD obtained could easily rival and beat multiple daedric princes.
You made the correct choice in not including stuff from the side games, ESO alone would've been hell to cover...
Howdy Master Neloth definitely like this video 😅
Great video!
Pls do a video on the dragur deathlord warlord gathrik. He’s the strongest draugr in Skyrim and one of the tallest humanoid figures in Skyrim (on par with Tsun and Ebony Warrior) and his past is mysterious. I’d love to hear your theories as to why he’s so tall and his origins.
I think it would be a good wrap up for the series if in whatever the final game is, all of the previous mainline protagonists lend their aid to the player directly or indirectly.
Always a very interesting topic. I'd like to believe my Dragonborn becomes emperor but that's quite unlikely
The nerevarine is either travelling mundus or some other realm or he met his end somewhere while saving people.
Yagrum bagarn does mention that he was in some outer realm when the rest of the dwemer dissappeared.
Hero of kvatch becomes sheogorath or my headcannon sheogorath watches the oblivion crisis from close up.
The dragonborn probably adopts a kid, then becomes entrapped by herma mora or maybe he dies in the civil war when it continues or maybe a future war that might be started by the thalmor.
Or he might travel the world and other rrealms for knowledge and eventually ending up as miraak, then get killed by people he once knew.
I think it would bring the dragonborns story to a full circle he beats up villains all of his life but by the end he has become one.
I still believe that High Chancellor Ocato is "The Eternal Champion"
lol I knew Skyrim Sheo was the Hero of Kvatch when I met him and he's like "I was there for the oblivion crisis... And the CHEESE! To die for!" or something like that xD I mainly remember him mentioning that he was present for the Crisis along with the cheese during oblivion being "to die for" lol
great video Neloth
