I love ESO for that aspect more than anything else. The many areas of lore that were given to experience and by doing that also delve into greater detail of so much of the mysteries of the elder scrolls series.
Having maormer and padomaic islanders ( race of men who love on the islamds of esroniet cathnoquey and yneslea) as playable races in tes 6 would be the great
Maybe the Maormer will help the other provinces in the war against the Aldmeri Dominion? Sure they have their past issues with the Empire and other races, but as the old saying goes "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Not sure if youve given them a video before, but a video on the "lost races" like the Birdfolk, Lilmothite, and the Giant Goblins, would be pretty cool. You could even throw in some of the extinct Human offshoots as well, like the Kothringi, and the Nede groups that didnt leave any living descendants, like the Duraki.
I know he’s covered at least some of these in some of the other videos. He’s probably covered all the races & stuff like that by now, he’s been at it a while lol
the aquatic beastfolk races theory might actually have some truth to it as there was a in-game book which canonized lovecraft style deep ones and then there is the Dreugh.
It would be amusing if Altmeris was actually Yokuda, and the Left-Handed Elves turned out to be a mistranslation referring to the elves who left or something like that!
I keep hoping the next ESO chapter brings us to Pyandonea, so the Maomer gets more depth than enemy raiders. Basically, the same treatment the Reachmen got with the Markarth DLC.
at least we know from the Breton dlc that a great part of them lives on boats and that they are seeking fame absolutely because it would mean a promotion or a plot of lands so some privacy when 80 % of sailors lives collectively
As long as Orgnum is alive, majority of Maormer have innate hatred towards Altmer and would attack them on sight (and vice versa). Would have to be some major shift in the lore to allow visiting that continent considering timeline being before singleplayer games and Orgnum is still more or less alive. Reachmen are shunned as barbarians, but not as much to be attacked on sight, even after conquests by Nords.
@@wailfulcrab The Despot of Markarth didn't execute the character. The xenophobic Altmer let outsiders on Summerset. No where could be more hostile than the Deadlands or Coldharbor. Plus, details are scares enough that there could easily be a justification for the King to temporarily allow outsiders in.
@@badluck5647 Pyandoea is not hostile other than waters sorrounding it. It's the Orgnum's hatred toward Altmer through the millennia. Only time Maormer and Altmer were not openly hostile was the time of Tiber Septim conquests and even that was short and ended in bloodshed. This is different from Summerset isles, the Altmer there while not happy about outsiders were not openly hostile to them and tried to get rid of them by beaurocracy and diplomacy. Only way to allow Maormer and Altmer somehow coexist is making Orgnum dead that would lift his spell on the people or get replaced/possesed by Daedra or something. They would be extremely on edge like elves and Nords but should not constantly be at each other throats.
@@wailfulcrab That is a pretty extreme interpretation, even considering the highly biased sources about the sea elves Especially, if you consider that the Maormer and Khajiit lived in relative peace on Khenarthi's Roost until the Dominion came to push them out.
I wonder if the actions of Orgnum's rebellion & the establishment of the mist directly or indirectly played a role in the so called "Doom" of Aldmeris? More on the Maormer themselves, I'm also curious on the status of their society in the late-3rd & 4th eras.
Considering maormer are renowned sea captain and TEs vi is most likely taking place in hammerfell home of the Redguard who sailed from yokuda, plus the thalmor influence in hammerfell might beckon some maormer to fight the altmer there
Perhaps Maormer are not visible in 3rd and 4th eras because Orgnum is literally getting younger, so he become a toddler and couldn't meaningfully do magic anymore.
I believe the Aldmeri split into two lineages after the Dawn War; The Altmeri Line and the Maomeri Line. I believe the Altmer, Derreni, Bosmer, Alyied, and Chimer/Dunmer, and Orsimer represent the Altmeri Line and share a Tan/Yellow skintone(except when cursed like the Dunmer and Orsimer). They were the group that primarily left Tamriel(except the Bosmer) heading South, and eventually returning to resettle Tamriel, leading to the more well known history of those races, which is largely defined by their wars and interactions with Man. The Maomeri Line primarily stayed on Tamriel or sailed to the West, and consist of the Maomer and Sinestral Elves as groups that sailed West while the Falmer and Dwemer stayed on Tamriel. These groups share a more monochromatic skintone, ranging from the alabaster skinned Falmer to the obsidian skinned Sinestrals, and their religions are not as interrelated as those of the Altmeri Line, but still connect back to the Aldmeri Pantheon at the very base of their religion showing a shared origin with the Altmeri Line in early pre-history(with the exception of the Sinestral, about whom little to nothing is known). The history of the Maomeri Line after their split with the Altmeri Line is defined by not just their war with man, but also various wars against the Altmeri Line of elves. *CONTINUED IN REPLIES*
*PROPOSED ORIGIN* Shortly after the Dawn War, when Lorkhans heart was ripped out and shot far into the East, the original split within the Aldmeri Elves occured, a debate stemming from what direction their mythologized homeland of Aldmeris was in. Though their Gods had won the war, they were unable to truly kill Lorkhan, which shook the faith of the Aldmeri, cause various reaction in its different population. The progenitors of the Altmeri Line, believing that Tamriel was a land of Lorkhan and thus no place for Elves, had quickly and fimly placed their belief in Aldmeris laying to the South, where as the progenitors of the Maomeri Line had chosen West. The Altmeri Line was the first to leave, heading to the Southern costs of Tamriel where they would board their ships and set off to find their long lost home, however, the Bosmer chose to remain in Valenwood, the sacred land to the god their subset of Atmeri venerated most, Jephre, forever seperating themselves from the rest of the Altmeri Line. While this was happening, the Maomeri Line lingered in the North for longer, their people having a more varied reaction that their Altmeri cousins. Those who would become the Falmer, remained in the North their faith in their Gods unshaken by the laughing Heart, seeing this battlefield of Gods as sacred to Auriel and remained to build great monuments and chantries to honor him. The ancestors of the Dwemer, on the other had, had the opposite reaction, seeing the Atmoran Gods as too weak to worship having had lost the war amd seeing the Aldmeri Gods as undeserving of worship since they had failed to truly kill the Trickster. Their faith had shattered but their resolve had hardened, and so they followed the path of the heart, hoping to one day find it and hopefully come to master its undying power, worshping nothing amd no one besides their own intellect and prowess. Those of the Maomeri Line that would give raise to the Sinestral and the Maomer proper cose to exit Tamriel fromtye western coasts, but would fracture further, one last time, before their departure. Thee Maomer's ancestors chose to sail to the Southwest, however the progenitors of the Sinestral chose the Northwest as route across the sea to Almeris. Upon reaching the distant shores which they hopped were their ancient home, the Sinestral found themselves in a strange new land, Yokuda, a land already populated by a race surpringly similar to the Men they had fought on Tamriel. Taking this as a sign from their Gods that the Dawn War had yet to truly end, the Sinestral relaunched their war on Man, now fighting the Men of the new Westen Continent rather then those of the Northern Atmora. This lead them to the belief that existence is a constant battle to remain living and that meeting the nothingness of nonexistence through death is the ultimate end of all beings. The Maomer proper sailed to the southwest, eventually meeting with their Altmeri cousins on Summerset, believing it to be Aldmeris, and almost immediatly come to odds with the Altmer before being driven to the islands of Pyandonea, with this history eventually becoming mythologized as the Altmer banishing them from Aldmeris, despite them neither group ever actually finding Aldmeris. Since then, they have waged a continual war on the Altmer, believing they are keeping the Maomer from their homeland.
This is actually false because the Lefthanded elves supposedly crossed over from the previous kalpa with the redguards who they were at war with in the previous kalpa already, which is why in the merethic era it’s told like they’ve been at war for all of eternity
@@Scout34111 Fair enough, but keep in mind, that story is as unreliable as any other myth within the Elder Scrolls that hasnt been confirmed. Not that my peraonal little head cannon here holds any significance whatsoever, but you cant really tout a theory as being correct when in the lore of the game its left as an ambiguous maybe.
Maormer are my favorite race. I hope they become a playable race in the future. They fit into the lore very well, are unique, and are just cool. I kind hope when we see them, they have a more Hawaiian/Polynesian vibe.
The premise around Sea Elves is really interesting I see 2 possible outcomes Best Case Scenario: They will appear as a race in Elder Scrolls 6 or at the very least have a DLC centered around the Sea Elves, very similar to the Snow Elves in the Dawnguard DLC in Skyrim Worst Case Scenario: They will just be completely ignored by Bethesda and will remain an interesting side lore
We will never get too play as a Maormer in a single player RPG unfortunately Bethesda is way too lazy for that sadly. Other than that a great video keep up the great work👍 And greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
Pretty soon, its not the next video im working on, but its one of the ones after that (tho I have several different ones in the works but its likely going to be within 4 videos)
I see elves all over the place there's high elves, dark elves, wood elves and I am pretty sure orcs are some type of elf mutation... I See elves all over the place can't not
People keep talking about this Y'tuub Alg'rthm guy lately. I don't know who he is, but I'm guessing he's a really stupid and incompetent daedric prince judging by what folks have been saying about him.
comments under this video be like: tes6 would be so cool if [insert unrealistic thing Bethesda would never do here] no wonder the devs think we have high expectations and will be disappointed
ESO did so much for the fish folk
I love ESO for that aspect more than anything else. The many areas of lore that were given to experience and by doing that also delve into greater detail of so much of the mysteries of the elder scrolls series.
Next chapter👉 pyandonea
@@PiTiDoSis this a guess?? Because I like it
@@PiTiDoS Divines I hope so
@@PiTiDoS On Sithis, Let this be truth
Having maormer and padomaic islanders ( race of men who love on the islamds of esroniet cathnoquey and yneslea) as playable races in tes 6 would be the great
It would also be cool for minotaurs to be treated like people instead of just monsters (kind of like the orc storyline in Daggerfall).

Personally I think Yokuda and Pyandonea are the same place, and Atmora and Aldmeris are also the same place.

I have the idea that the mist conjured up for orgnum and his followers is what prevented other elves from finding aldmeris back.
I hope they appear in Elder Scrolls VI, they are one of the most interesting races in the lore
Considering maormer are renowned sea captain and TEs vi is most likely taking place in hammerfell home of the Redguard who sailed from yokuda, plus the thalmor influence in hammerfell might beckon some maormer to fight the altmer there
The videos lately have been awesome. You've become my favorite elder scrolls youtuber over time
the Pirate Elves. glad you covered them
I've heard canon that they were the Bosmer of the Sea, having their own variant of the Green Pact.
They have a "Sea Pact" with cool serpent creature magic stuff n stuff n more stuff.
Mother Sea might just be an aspect of Nirn.
Perhaps Maormer are not visible in 3rd and 4th eras because Orgnum is literally getting younger, so he become a toddler and couldn't meaningfully do magic anymore.
I don't know how you ended up on my feed because I haven't watched any Elder Scrolls stuff here for months. But your channel is superb.
