    For anyone interested this is a little more in depth of what happened to Black Marsh. The argonians worship a race of ancient sentient trees known as the hist. Some time before any oblivion gates where opened, the hist trees telepathically let all the argonians across every province of Tamriel know that they had to return to Black Marsh and defend their homelands. There was a great migration as argonians answered the call to come home and prepare the defense. Waiting in the swamps they consumed the sap of the hist trees, the hist sap tremendously enhances nearly all physical attributes of argonians. When Dagon opened his oblivion gates in Black Marsh the argonians were more than ready. They destroyed the first waves and rushed the oblivion gates, surprising the dedra forces now in their realm with such great numbers and ferocity, that Dagon closed his gates, and was basically forced out of Black Marsh.

      and as a little added fun fact: According to the Hist, they were created by Sithis prior to the creation of Nirn by Lorkhan and the Aedra. The Hist hive-minded tree thus still worship Sithis, and since the Hists created the Argonian race, the Argonians of Black Marsh also have a cult for Sithis.
      Heck, all Argonians born under the sign of the Shadow are raised in the Black Brotherhood, or at least they were prior to the Skyrim game(since the Black Brotherhood lost much of its influence). Those Argonians were known as Shadowscales, and the ones who survive and who are in Black Marsh are also acting as assassins and spies for Argonia(the Argonian country in Black Marsh).
      As such, now with so little contact with the Black Brotherhood, the ones born under the sign of the Shadow are likely just trained by the remaining Shadowscales who work for the Argonian government, and they likely just contribute to that work too once they are trained.

    The Thalmor came into power because they saved the Altmeri refugees from the Crystal Tower right after it collapse and then made a campaign to fight off the daedra and close the gates. They actually saved Summerset from worse destruction. With the instability after words they started taking control of everything and even killed the current Monarchy so they could rule. Don't hate the high elves hate the Thalmor. Many high elves hate them because they kill their own people. I think 40 years after the crisis a bunch of high elf dissidents fled to Northern Hammerfell and were assassinated by Thalmor bounty hunters

    For some reason I often think the Oblivion Crisis took place in Cyrodiil alone. Then I remember Mehrunes Dagon tried to take over ALL of Tamriel. It would only stand to reason that other provinces would be affected in some way or another. In that case, though, there ARE mods you can add that will put Oblivion gates in Skyrim, so there's that if you want your game to be more lore-friendly (there strangely seem to be none in the vanilla game, but with structures like Oblivion gates, whether shut or not, you'd think you could still find remnants of them 200 years or however long later).

      @The Mad Hattress You would think their would be Oblivion Gates still around two hundred years later.However i think their are at least two factors to consider.First within the empire i believe religious authorities would have gotten the government to tear most if not all of them down.As a " just in case " measure and to make sure they do not become gathering places for daedric worship.( especially for followers of Dagon ) If the empire missed any the Vigilants of Stendaar would have surely been keeping an eye out for any in their travels.Then wasted no time in tearing them down themselves once they got enough men and the necessary tools at the site.The rest may have suffered erosion due to various climate conditions and the weather.Then collapsed on their own.I am sure the other provinces may have torn down their's as well for the same reasons.But it is possible their might be some left in Tamriel and possibly even Akavir as well.

Also they for the most part always have a strong military

      The Maormer don't have the Hist backing them. The Hist are the only reason the Argonians turned back the invasion: the Hist knew that it was coming, altered Argonians to make them more powerful and more aggressive, and had these beefed up Argonians mass in the locations where the Hist knew the Oblivion Gates would appear. They made the Argonians ready for the invasion.

    I have a few video ideas
    1: why you should kill/not kill Cicero
    2: why you should not kill Alduin
    3:why you should not kill Mercer Frey
    4:what happend to the other provinces during the Dragon crisis
    5:why was the emperor okay with you killing him
    6:ranking the elder scrolls games
    7:why the blades are dicks
    8:what is the best guild in skyrim
    9:beyond skyrim Burma play through
    10: I cant remember the name of the mid but it is the one that has 3 faction either imperials irks or a local jarl it it based on the skyrim border it is like beyond skyrim Burma

      These are interesting questions so I'll answer them from my view!
      1. I didn't kill cicero because he was just trying to help. The night mother to him is like his actual mother, and hearing everyone in the brotherhood pretty much say "She shouldn't be here" made cicero angry. I think he was reasonably correct in what he did, especially considering the times that he is in (Where people could kill for a sweetroll)
      2. Because he is meant to end the kalpa. Not much you can do, so you may as well enjoy what you've got.
      3. Hahaha no.
      4. Can't remember lel
      5. There was a theory about the emperor hiring the brotherhood himself, you should check it out!
      6. From my least favourite to most favourite: Morrowind is a 1/10 for me. Oblivion is a 7/10 and skyrim is a 9/10 (I enjoy good graphics and open world)
      7. I'd love to know that myself.
      8. Personally, the college of winterhold. I enjoy the magical aspect of the elder scrolls series. I loved the design and lore of winterhold, because it really is mysterious! I'll expand on why I didn't choose the others:
      Companions: They were my 2nd favourite but I love magic too much haha
      Thieves Guild: This is my 3rd favourite because I loved the abilities you get from this, and it's also fine to use my magic (Illusion)
      Dark brotherhood: They had like one amazing quest (My fave quest in the game too) but not much else. Idk, this dark brotherhood didn't have the charm of the oblivion one.
      ----
      DLC
      -----
      Dawnguard: It was amazing and mystical but I hated the characters.
      Lord Harkons court: My least favourite, I don't like vampires.
      9. Uhhhhhh
      10. That's called Lordbound, and I'm super hyped for it.

    So this is just a theory on my end But I think that for those remaining 4 provinces 3 of them probably did OK During the crisis and that would be valanwood elsweyr and hammerfell. Allow me to explain The redguards are naturally skilled Warriors considered to be some of the best warriors in tamriel combined with the deserts of their homeland being difficult to traverse I could see them having a sizable combat advantage. I could actually picture them using guerrilla tactics to defeat the deadra like they did against the Thalmor. Also redguard cavalry aint nothing to fuck with so ya if Their people were smart and fell back to the deserts they could easily defeat the deadra BUT I feel like taking the fight to them like the argonians did....yeah they would get smoked...pun intended...
    The wood elves would actually have done surprisingly well at first. Guerrilla warfare is something they are great at and I guarantee you that deadra would not know the forests as well as they do. So ya snipers dream! Downside unlike the deserts forests can be destroyed and I imagine that a good chunk of their forest would have been burned.....like a lot! So for the wood elves I have to say strong start weak finish.
    Now our beloved Kitty friends. I know this is gonna sound really lame but guerrilla tactics again! Given the terrain of their homeland they have A LOT to work with. The cats have forests and deserts as well as murky water like the argonians and the genetics of their people as a whole is an advantage! Kahjeet come in many different varieties and all of these varieties are capable of interbreeding with each other so if one breed wasn't good for fighting the deadra guess what the species continues. This is a lot of advantages however in terms of head on combat they would probably get destroyed so I imagine that they had to resort to guerrilla tactics even more than the rest.
    Now for my favorite race the bretons...... Yeah they're fucked! Like there is no doubt in my mind that they got completely destroyed during the oblivion crisis. Breton kings have a bad habit of feuding and they aren't very good at uniting even under crisis scenarios so the province would have been shattered the second this started and even allied lords would have probably been separated from their allies due to the size of the invading armies. And while I feel like Breton knights would be capable of holding their own against Deadra I doubt they would be able to do so for a long. And while Breton castles are impressive the common people yeah they got screwed HARD. And any lords that didn't have extra stocks of food would have probably died in their castles while their lands burned.
    So yeah long story short I feel like 3 out of the 4 provinces would have done OK but high rock probably got screwed which definitely accounts for the sorry state of the Empire currently.

    If you go to the Arcane University in the Imperial City, you can sometimes here the scholars discussing what is happening everywhere else.

Also, in the Sommerset Isles, they say it had become a very dangerous place, with an ever increasing prevalence of Daedra worship.

    @mayhare9754 6 років тому

    On the Summerset end, we also know Crystal-Like Law (AKA the Crystal Tower) was taken and toppled by the Daedra.
    Honestly, knowing what little we know about the other provinces, it feels like Oblivion *seriously* downplays the effects of the Oblivion Crisis on Cyrodiil, probably for gameplay/engine purposes. If there were literal piles of dead in the Summerset Isles, can you even begin to imagine what Kvatch would have realistically looked like during and after the siege? It must have turned into a slaughterhouse. And how many people were killed during the siege on the Imperial City which ended with Martin dead, considering we know that lore-wise the Imperial City's population is MASSIVE?
    Not to mention how it left the Empire in shambles. The Oblivion Crisis might as well have been the most catastrophic event in the history of Tamriel. The Mythic Dawn probably single-handedly caused more destruction than everyone and everything else in history, even the Dragons and the Red Year.

    In Skyrim, the Dawnstar Museum is run by a man who is part of the Church of the Mythic Dawn - they helped Mehrunes Dagon and are basically the Church of Scientologists - who sends you on a quest to retrieve parts of an ancient sword called the Mythic Razor, which has enough power to suck the lifeforce out of any mortal (if it was activated). You then go on a quest with him to give the sword to Dagon at a shrine. Afterwards Dagon will command you to kill him - there are two choices. 1st: kill museum manager and gain the influence and affection of Dagon or; 2nd: don’t kill him, Dagon will then proceed to summon two Deadra to kill you. There is no way to obtain the Mythic Razor as you must retrieve the parts and the sword cannot be built. You must give the parts to the manager who then keeps it to give to Dagon.

    I can't agree with you about the Argonians. Yes, they defeated the daedra(with lots of help from the Hist trees), but they couldn't easily over run the Dunmer of Morrowind after they took massive casualties from the Oblivion crisis and the entire island of Vvardenfell becoming a wasteland after the Red Mountain Eruption. For a race that had to rely on their sacred Hist trees to empower them to defeat the Daedra, the Argonians, without Hist magic, could not defeat the already dysfunctional Dunmer of Morrowind that barely had a leg to stand on.
