Wow cool 😎
Cover the Exosquad
I will sir 👍
Not gonna lie very good videos but y’all need to go back to warhammer fantasy
Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!
Can’t believe he skipped all those side missions
Was he the first speedrunner?
Ysgramor and Alessia were apperantly alive at the same time
@@GeldtheGelded In Windhelm you can find a plaque dedicated to Wulfharth that credits him with removing the Alessian Heresy from Skyrim
Without all those sidequests, how else would he have managed to take over cyrrodil!
@@cyberninjazero5659 Ysgramor and Wulfharth are different people. The Alessian Order that Wulfharth defeated came after Alessia passed away.
To have both K&G AND W&W is such a gift. As someone who loves history and enjoys a more graphic presentation of historical events, often you're led to fantasy just as a natural progression, this is the perfect channel to go hand in hand with K&G, LOVE the content guys, keep it coming!
EXACTLY!
Agreed
Couldn’t agree more
the star wars LOTR and the witcher videos is every thing i wanted after watching K&G for the first time
Sure but I can’t ignore the small big mistakes in the video, like Old Hroldan (I might actually be wrong and be mistaken but there’s more) and putting High Hrothgar next to Morthal? I know Skyrim’s geography makes no sense but alas it’s annoying
I like how TES lore is crazy enough that Reman being the result of a madman attempting to fuck a mountain isn't even too outlandish compared to a lot of the other shit that's going on in Tamriel.
"I AM CYRODIIL COME"
Reman was also able to talk fluently even as a baby.
Tbh that craziness makes it way more realistic cuz there are a lot of similar stuff in tons of irl mythologies
Reman also started a party so hedonistic and full of debauchery sanguine had to nope the fuck out, and thats really telling to how crazy reman was
*magic mountain
Reman wasnt a total lunatic lol :D :D :D
I never expected that one-day K&G will extend to an extent where they will make a video on The Elder Scrolls and will be hearing Skyrim's main theme the Dragonborn in the background truly epic.
right? it's so eerie to hear the K&G voice over elder scrolls music.
@Ein Niedersachse yeah they deserve more than this
Well being history geeks and fantasy lore mastering goes nicely side by side in one nerd's mind. 😁
We need a Total War: Elder Scrolls game with all the great music and characters included!
Fr
Real Battlemages, Imperial Legions, Dwemer hordes, Orcs in their holds, and knife-ears to humble? Count. Me. In.
there is a really good crusader kings mod.
@@DeridusPeninal Whitestrake ,Ysgramor,Tiper Septim dlc's required.
The closest thing to a Total War: Elders Scrolls right now is a Medieval II mod.
I wonder if Talos also had a hard time locating the steps to High Hrothgar. Also, did he encounter any trolls on the way up?
He probably had Klimmek tell him the way up, as for the trolls it's obvious he left that for the Last Dragonborn.
If he used this map it’d be incredibly difficult.
If this video is anything to go by, finding his way to High Hrothgar must've been very fucking confusing, because the makers of this video think High Hrothgar is in the mountains between Hjaalmarsh and The Pale 14:05 WTF? That's where the Lord Stone is, High Hrothgar is on the Throat Of The World, between Whiterun, Falkreath and The Rift. It's the most obvious landmark in all of Skyrim, how did they get mess this up?
Also, they get bonus points for mispronouncing "Merethic" as "Metheric"
I already loved kings and generals but this channel is on new level it's basically everything I love in one channel epic fantasy and sci fi worlds combined with massive battles and In-depth historys of the worlds
Please cover the events in Morrowind before Tiber Septim invaded and took over the province. The subsequent battle of Red Mountain and the formation of the tribunal temple. Elder Scrolls is my favourite fantasy RPG game to play
From the Rise of Nerevar and the House of Indoril to the battle of red mountain and his betrayal would be a great video.
@@cpom5075 Morrowind would be my favourite Elder Scrolls game so I guess I'm biased in that way 😅
Id rather see anything Pelinal Whitestrake
@@JayBe443 I'd love to see that too as well. Since that's way before Tiber Septim at least to my knowledge. Don't get me wrong
They'll lose it when the dragon break starts
Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise!
Yes mister Thalmor Justiciar this one right here...
We are but worms!!!!
Oh, hell yes! Did not expect you guys to delve into Elder Scrolls lore.
Right here’s the best and deepest lore in fantasy, at least in gaming.
Pay attention, everyone!
Where does this video fit in the lore? Ive only played skyrim, I didnt realize that a) there was a great deal of lore and b) i havent played enough of the series to understand the timeline.
Is it worth getting into the earlier games? Do they have books or just the games?
@@2639theboss there is so much lore, the first Elder Scrolls game came out in like 1996, and there were many games and even a few novels since
@@2639theboss and yes I’d say it’s definitely worth playing Morrowind, Oblivion and even The Elder Scrolls Online, all of which have hundreds of lore books in game
@@2639theboss oh my god you have barely even scraped the barrel. Im not a super big fan of fantasy stuff, but Elder Scrolls is something entirely different. It’s fanbase is like no other because of the immensely rich story and lore they have created. It’s truly incredible how in depth and believable it all is. Tiber Septim deserves a movie
@@2639theboss this is around 800-700 years before Skyrim basically and is about the start of the empire that you see a weaker version of by the time of the game. There are dozens of good channels to get you introduced into the world of the games that you can watch. As for old games, don’t just listen to anyone making them out as masterpieces, they were masterpieces but the older the more rusty and horribly outdated they are, if you are ok with outdated gameplay and graphics then the rest like the story and quests are still amazing and worth sinking 100s of hours onto
"just as another General From Carthage did in another Universe" Guess the habits of great generals marching down from a mountian path thought to be impossible by their enemies is a habit inherited by many generals
Anyone who has climbed a mountain and doesn't experience the Overwatch Effect has no soul. Those who refuse to climb a mountain have no spirit. Those who have conquered the mountain can conquer the world!
... unless their name is Hannibal Barca, of course.
The Thalmor won’t stop me from worshiping Talos! Long live Talos!
Down with the Thalmor!!! Long live Talos! Long Live the Empire of Mankind!!
F*ck the Thalmor!
WE ARE BUT MAGGOTS, WRITHING IN THE FILTH OF OUR OWN CORRUPTION! WHILE YOU HAVE ASCENDED FROM THE DUNG OF MORTALITY, AND NOW WALK AMONG THE STARS!
Talos is a lie. A usurper claiming to be Lorkhan, the true creator of Mundus and giver of life. Reject the Thalmor and reject the imperialised Stormcloaks and their murderous rage. Embrace Kyne and her consort Hircene, and love the mother of the Void Namira.
The reach belongs to the Forsworn!
@@gorge2786 First time I’ve seen a Forsworn fanatic like that. You’re a rare breed these days.
I'm glad you were allowed to use the music from the Elder Scrolls game! Adds a lot to the atmosphere when you can use music from the source material. Great video, as always!
Having so many settings be treated at the same time makes it tough to wait for each chapter to get its follow-up. XD But I love seeing all those fantasy and sci-fi universes get those videos.
Jeremy Soule relased at least some of the elder Scrolls music on Spotify. So I'd say getting permission wouldn't be that difficult. Bethesda haven't been known for pressing onto that as far as I know
What is that guitar solo that plays?
Yes! YES! HISTORY OF THE ELDER SCROLLS THAT I'M TOO LAZY TO READ IN GAME, or in the wiki.
Oh Wizards and Warriors, you've done it again!
As far has we know, if I'm not mistaken, the old beast folk have no actual relation to the khajiit and argonians. Since the khajiit were most likelly created by azura in some way and with the argonians being clearlly created by the hist using common lizards and the hist sap.
@Broba Which is something we don’t know for certain either way. We do know of the bird people from Topal’s diaries though.
Yeah it's true, if we were to look at their own faiths they may well be separated, I personally like the idea that the bosmer and khajiit share their origin
@divyanshu bhandari bro this be a nerd channel
@divyanshu bhandari Lmao are you in denial ?
they're all related in the sense that Yffre was involved in their creation. Khajjit included. In that sense, the Bosmer are a kind of beast race too, btw.
as a once mighty channel said: But that, is a story for another day
Ahhhhh... The Shoddycast days.
I played TES:IV Oblivion with little to none knowledge of its history. After watching this video, I feel blessed with the memories in game, traveling every road on foot or horse. Exploring every Ayelids ruins and enter the oblivion realm. Awesome game, and thank you for this amazing video!
I love the elder scrolls. Morrowind is my favorite video game of all time so I'm looking forward to seeing more on the series. There are some really good battles in the lore too. Even in books like Mixed Unit Tactics that had a really good fantasy style battle.
Mixed Unit Tactics is one of my favorite books. The description of how the Khajit would lure the Wood Elves in was definitely an interesting read and made me want to gather as many books in Skyrim as I could to have a library.
Morrowind started me off too
First off, loved the video and the art style and hope to see more soon. Second, I don't want to be that guy but some of the locations you showed were inaccurate. High Hrothgar and the throat of the world isn't north of Whiterun, it is to the east of Whiterun. Also if I'm not mistaken, Old Hroldan is also located to the east of Markarth. Bethesda is known to Retcon some of the lore so perhaps the older sources give different locations but as of now there are the correct locations.
Still love the video. Please make more.
True but geography isn’t lore and on top (no pun intended) of that it would seem that Mundos doesn’t operate under the rules of our world, supposedly the planetary core is machinery which is another explanation for no tectonic movement
Rule number one of TES lore: there is no such thing as canon
Best decision King's and Generals ever made!!! Elder scrolls lore is awesome and K&G narration is the perfect compliment to tell the tales.
Thank you for making great documentaries as always! I really enjoyed this one.
I have no clue if this is at all possible, but I'd fucking *die* if you guys somehow did a colab with Fudgemuppet
This needs to happen now
Lol yes
Ysmir's beard, this was great!
Blessings of the Nine upon you!
Just came from the Kings and generals channel, when the narrator starts speaking my jaw dropped, how have I not noticed this channel before?
Amazing!! I love the Elder Scrolls Lore!!
Long live Talos!
By the nine, I was waiting for this one. Thanks
That battle music feels nostalgic
Its amazing to think how many hundreds of hours I've invested in the elder scrolls games, and yet most of what was covered here is still new to me. Incredibly fascinating! Thanks for making these videos!
Up until now I had had nothing to do with the Elder Scrolls universe, but watching this video I fell in love with it instantly.
You keep surprising me with all these great videos, covering a broad range of universes!
Thank you so much!
By the nine! More videos like these please!
Long-time TES fan. Love exploring the lore, but visualizing battlefield movements, remembering dates and specifics is hard for me. This was so beautifully laid out and easy to understand, I loved everything about it. I look forward to more!
I can't even begin to articulate how happy I was when I saw you both made this channel AND made a video about my favorite rpg!
Awesome video nice to see you dabble in elder Scrolls lore.
Two thinks though.
1. The pronunciation of many races was completely wrong, most notably with the chimer, the ayleids and tsaesci. For someone who knows a lot about tes it takes a bit out of the experience.
2. Some of the smaller Facts where wrong. For example the Alessian empire didn't control the west of hammerfall when the Ra Gada came. Also Nord's didn't know how to shout during Tibers time there, the left that behind Way back in the first era when Jurgen Windcaller founded the graybeards (who only told Tiber when they called him) (fun fact: after his crowning, Tiber actually founded a Thu'um school in Markarth to get shouting back into Nordic culture, but it didn't take off since non-dragonborn people had a hard time learning the voice.)
Yep just to add to some other mispronunications I heard:
- Aetherius (pronounced Aetheerius)
- Merethic Era (mispronounced as metheric the 1st time)
- Alessia (pronounced Aleesia)
- Reman (pronounced Reeman)
- Stros M'Kai (pronounced Stros Ma'Kai)
- Yokuda (pronounced Yokooda)
- Hjalti Early-Beard (pronounced Hyalti)
- Colovians (pronounced Coloavians)
That being said other pronunciations were on point, great job on the video guys! Looking forward to more.
It's also fun to mention that while some stories like the birth of Reman may sound pretty far fetched, that's the beauty of TES lore. So much of its history is told through different authors with their own subjective cultural/religious worldviews. The line between fact and fiction can be blurry. The unreliable narrator influence is what makes TES lore distinct to other fantasy worlds like LOTR where everything is often factual.
@@commandy7889 Yep, the only events that we know anything with true certainty are the main questlines of the games, and even that's not always true, such as the fact that every ending of Daggerfall canonically happened due to a dragonbreak. As of Skyrim, for example, it's up in the air whether the Hero of Kvatch, the character in Oblivion who ended the Oblivion crisis, was actually the same individual as who completed the various guild questlines. I remember when I was paying more active attention to the lore (largely before ESO was especially good, and since I don't play that anymore it's hard to keep up with the sheer amount it's added as pretty certain info), a massive question was how they were going to resolve the fact that the Civil War questline had two possible endings, and whether they'd use time fuckery, or simply have the empire finish falling apart by the events of the next game, rending the point moot.
The fun fact is so absurd and ridiculous I bet is taken from that cashgrab MMO.
All the stupid lore comes from there.
@@asgoritolinasgoritolino7708 pocket guide to the empire 1st edition. This lore exits since The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard 1998
Also I don't like how they completely skipped the topic of dragons, even though they were very important because of the whole Thu'um thing.
What a beautiful animation! Also you did a great job of summarizing important events in Tamriel. Excellent video! Thank you for uploading it.
It would be amazing if you did a more detailed look at Alessia's slave revolt, especially since that involved the Elder Scrolls equivalent of Doom Slayer running around covered in Ayleid viscera.
Also, I love the fact that you mentioned the issue with figuring out what the hell the Tsaesci were, which is something that the fans have been arguing about for well over a decade.
They will most likely cover more topics in the future and cover more history of Tamriel.
Yes they are finally covering elder scroll!!
This was cool. The production was amazing. Love Elder Scroll lore.
Omg yes! Thank you! My favorite of the series!
Yo you guys have been pumping these out like crazy. Y'all are on another level of work ethic
I was cheering with my brother when we saw this video in our UA-cam recommendations. You are excellent guys! Keep going on!!
After Kings and Generals, whenever I hear this narrator, I automatically ascribe seriousness and historicity to his narration. The fact that this content is fantasy also kind of makes me laugh for some reason - the absurdity of the situation is amusing.
You guys are killing it!
Oh my gosh you guys are killing it with this channel, I wish you nothing but success
Love it, just as I'm starting up a new character on Skyrim, great timing.
The Era concept in elder scrolls is like the Age concept of Middle Earth. There was the First Age, Second Age, Third Age and Fourth Age in Middle Earth. While there was the Dawn Era, Merethic Era, First Era, Second Era, Third Era and Fourth Era. Perhaps elder scrolls was based on Tolkein's works.
Almost all high fantasy has bases in tolkiens work
Tolkien technically invented/popularized fantasy
Guys you have one of the best contents on YT. Please dont stop at 2-3 vids per series, continue as much as you can. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing video! Great job, folks!
I love this! Elder Scrolls has an amazing history to it
It's got some of the juiciest lore out there
@@HVLLOWS1999 Dare I say, THE juiciest?
May Talos guide this channel!
I had watched many videos and documentries and yet i learned more from K&G videos than all others. I have played Elder scrolls for years, read the books (in game and out) and watched others videos and yet i have learned more from this video than all else combined. Idk what it is about your style but it just works for me. Thank you
This was a really good video. There is so much Lore in TES it can often be overpowering and trying to think of all of those books you've read to find skill points, something gets lost along the way. This was really helpful to break that down and simplify, looking forward to more
Elder scrolls lore is actually pretty interesting, have you heard of the High elves? I think you should do a video on them.
The High Elvs of Summerset Isles...
of course
The Altmer probably take the crown of being the single most assholish take on elves in all of fantasy fiction
@@dirckthedork-knight1201 if people didn't fawn over Morrowind they'd see the Dunmer in much the same light as well, hell they even call you the n-word
Seen any... ELVES? ahhHAhaHAhaha
@@enderman_666 I mean, isn't that kind of implicit? They're the Dark Elves that worship daedric princes and have a fully legalized system dedicated to assassinating your political rivals. Even without the slavery and the racism they were pretty blatantly designed to be the spooky evil ones, Morrowind just brought nuance to that by putting it all in the context of attempted cultural genocide on multiple fronts.
Never knew early Tamriel was brutal…
lurk moar, and you'll see, there's a lot of genocide, and I mean a LOT
It’s kind of always like this with occasional stretches of peace
This isn't even early Tamriel. This is late Second Era. Actual early Tamriel makes this look like a cake walk.
By Talos, Emperor Napoleon likes both TommyKay AND Elder Scrolls? Truly the chaddest military man of all time.
@@joshjames582 Lol early Tamriel didn't even have proper time.
Amazing work! I really hope we get some more Elder Scrolls content! Thank you for releasing awesome videos like this one!
YES ! Videos on the Elder Scrolls series is a thing I have been waiting for on this channel !
We would love another video about a certain genocidal time traveling Cyborg in Nirn.
Pelinal Whitestrake!
REMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
@@LeoWarrior14 Song ends... Of the Knight caaaled Peliiiinaaaal...
YES! Here's hoping for a future video on Indoril Nerevar.
So glad you did the Elder Scrolls! By far my favorite universe.
Could you guys do a video on the Great War prior to the events of Skyrim? It always seemed so enigmatic to me. Like, the empire outlawed the worship of one of their most beloved deities/national heroes and allowed extrajudicial authority to agents of a foreign state, the Thalmor, which implies that they suffered total defeat, but if such was the case why don't the Thalmor rule? Why is it shown they HAVE to divide mankind because they pose an actual threat if they brought them so seemingly low just recently? Was the empire just that spineless and corrupt after the loss of the Septims? Was it an empire of Alexander situation where the High Elves "won" but their victory could never be a long-term one because it bled them damn near dry? I gotta know!
From my understanding the only reason why the empire didn't suffer a total defeat was only at the very end when I believe it was the Mede emperor Titus? (sorry I haven't looked at elder scrolls lore in awhile so I've forgotten a lot of names) was able to unite the last remnant of his armies mixed with the nords and bretons able to completely wipe out the leading thalmor (also forgot his name) general and his army at the imperial city. All of that mixed with the dominions absolute grind in hammerfell only looking worse for them both sides decided to call it quits and find peace as they were both so brutally beaten by eachother. Obviously the empire got the worse ends of the deal as they suffered a lot more especially the destruction of a lot of the empire's lands. Sorry idk if that made any sense.
From what I understand the reason is the whole yes the empire lost. The thalmor lost a lot too. So to avoid war they made whatever sacrifice for peace for the time being. Both sides suffered way too many casualties and looking into the future it seems that the high elf’s extremely low birth rate might bite them in the ass in case another war broke out while humans probably had a full generation. So in the long term the empire has a chance to rise back up again and if it dies it’ll take the dominion with them
@@g4fly4ever8 Not to mention that if another war broke out, the conventionally defensive regions, like Hammerfell, will immediately react by attacking the Dominion while they're busy with the Empire.
I'll never understand why people think that the Septims were all that great. You think the Medes were spineless and corrupt? The only reason they held on to the ruby throne was due to divine right; even during the Septim dynasty, we had wonderful things like Potema. One could even blame the Thalmor on the Septims, given that Tibby dropped a god-robot on Alinor for the abject crime of not licking his boots.
@@LordMortanius I mean, divine right is pretty powerful in a world where the gods genuinely exist, but practically speaking the way I see it is the Septims were just a stronger dynasty compared to the Medes, whether or not they were good people. They fought rebellions and civil wars but they basically kept Tamriel united for the entire third era. The Medes, in contrast, are basically warlords that filled the power vacuum after the Oblivion Crisis. They never had control of Morrowind or Black Marsh, lost Summerset, Valenwood, and Elsweyr to the Dominion without a fight. They got totally flattened during the Great War and then capitulated AFTER turning the tide in their favour, allowing the Thalmor to arrest imperial citizens and outlaw the worship of an important god, and abandoned Hammerfell completely. The redguards then went on to push the Dominion out of Hammerfell on their own, so at the current point in the timeline the Medes just look terrible.
I sort of feel sorry now that I haven't played the Elder Scrolls series. Because this story was a good one. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Tes lore is pretty much as expansive as you can get for a game series, if you love fantasy, its pretty amazing.
@@deadgum11---I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for responding.
I learned SO much in the first 11 mins of the history of the Elder Scrolls game than I ever thought possible. Truly a great vid!
This is an awesome series. Love this!!!
As I recall the lore, the dragons did not teach man the way of the voice. By the mythos, man was taught the dragon tongue by Kyne, when she took pity on man under the rule of dragons, starting the dragon war.
I never understood how dragons fit into the lore, supposedly they ruled all of Tamriel during the Merethic era, but... the Merethic era saw the dominance of the Mer, with them enslaving humans, so who really ruled Tamriel? the Mer or the dragons?
@@ibadurrehman1210 Bethesda writers ruled and still rule, molders of CHIM
@@ibadurrehman1210 The games have conflicting lore, and they actually excuse it by using the real world as an example of an excuse: it was an ancient time so the history gets a bit hazy by the player's "modern" time lol
Raymond actually you and the video are both right. Kyne took pity on the humans that were dominated by dragons and convinced Paarthurnax to teach them the Voice or Thu'um
@@christianwalton7080 could it be because of the Dragon Break event involving the Dwemer and the Numidium?
God damn this really made me miss Elder Scrolls games, hope I get to see another one actually get released before dying of old age, I just turned 25.
YEESS ELDER SCROLLS!! Thank you so much for the video. So excited
Finally, an Elder Scrolls video! I'm already hyped for the next one for sure
Yes Elder Scrolls lore! I used to play all the Elder Scrolls games.
Then I took an arrow to the knee 😔
Wow & first 🥇! Wish for video about Stargate soon!
No way. I already loved your channel, this is just the icing on the cake!
Please don’t ever stop im loving this channel along with K&G
13:15 The thu’um in lore compared to the thu’um in game
Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!
This is what I've been waiting for!!
Good Job. Im never stop watching until finish.
having several generation of historic lore in a single video means there's a lot of details being left out. not necessarily a bad thing but important details such as the nordic giving warriors to alessia during her war with the ayleids (which many claims turns the tide of war for the alessian faction), and how the ayleid kingdoms is badly fragmented and in a strong rivalry with each other, allowing alessia troops to defeat them kingdom by kingdom while their rival ayleid king laughing at the demise of their rival kin, is not mentioned, allowing alessia took all the credits.
that story of hrol banging a hill to make magic babies is new to me, but then again, it's elder scrolls lore.
That's not the point of this video. First half was a general overview.
This isn't a lore video though, it's giving you an overview so the fight that is happening has better context. You are just looking for the faults for the sake of it.
@@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu this video is based on a FICTIONAL LORE and I'm simply pointing out how some finer details being left out due to the video duration, which is not necessarily a bad thing (as i have said) it simply means those who are not into elder scrolls lore will not know of it. I did not try to find a fault. You're assuming things then blowing them out of proportion.
7:05 We see what you did there…
So glad this chanel exists.
At his was such an amazing, digestible, and engrossing video. I can’t wait for the next ones!
Unlike in the other series, the actions of the humans against the elves here mainly justified after what they put them through. Am I wrong to say this? I don't know because personally, I like to side with the elves in most cases. But in this case, I am conflicted between my personal liking of the elves and the crimes that have committed against humans.
well, considering their behaviour upto game 5, I would say they had it coming.
Many elven rulers and preisthoods have been historically opressive and terrible to humans under their rule. While the Thalmor wish to exterminate men, and their upper class is almost certainly thoroughly Ayleid in character worshiping the 'Bad' daedra in the form of Molag Baal there is absolutely no justifiation for the genocide of the Snow elves under the Atmorans and then Norse, nor the eradication of the Ayleid peoples (aligned with the Alessian empire) under the heretical Alessian Order, or even the effective nuking of Somerset by the false god Hjalti. Kyne, Shor and Stun preach mercy above all else, and we should seek to promote harmony instead of war.
on a side note the Imperials dont really exist as a race, nor do the bretons, or reachmen. The Nedes are once people with many languages and cultures. By throwing off the imperialism of the Colovians and the dogma of the Altmer all the people of Dawn's beauty can be united in opposition to the tyranny of the usurper gods and many of the selfish daedra.
It's more morally gray than you think. Many Ayleids were not Daedra worshippers, and actually sided with Alessia against their corrupt kinsmen. Only to be driven out of their homeland by blindly vengeful humans (guided by a talking monkey prophet) centuries after the rebellions end.
Committing genocide on an entire race for the actions of one faction or it is a bit disproportionate on the Nords part too.
It's less that any one race is bad or good but that one or the other is lead by more brutal and aggressive factions. the thalmor are a good example, they don't exactly represent the high elves but are a faction of high elves who have taken control and pushing forward their eleven supremacy views to the rest of Tamriel similar to the nazi party taking control of germany.
Kinda depends tbh
The Ayleids were definitely “evil” by most standards
What happened with the snow elves is up for debate, it could have been the nords or elves that started that conflict.
But either way did they deserve to have their entire civilisation wiped out because of the actions of a few?
The elves of high rock(can’t spell the name) may have done some bad things especially when it comes to the creation of the Bretons but I wouldn’t call them evil
Wood elves are definitely one of the more “peaceful” races
Orcs are …..orcs really
Dark elves are definitely Di*cos no doubt about it
But houses like redoran are pretty decent actually
With high elves it’s actually the humans who are entirely in the wrong
Never did they really threaten human provinces but were constantly invaded
And no matter how awesome a man he was having a race forced to acknowledge Tiber septim as a god after everything he did was evil
The man massacred thousands of elves and then forced them into an empire they didn’t need just to add more insult to injury
So I can definitely sympathise with the altmer
Ultimately no race is perfect especially human and elves races
Netflix should adapt this lore into a TV series! I'd watch it!
Anyone but Netflix please. They've already ruined The Witcher, I won't want them to ruin TES too.

Really loving all the content from this channel. Keep it up!!
I’m absolutely loving these videos you’ve been getting to all my favorite worlds and I couldn’t be happier
Good video, though I would like to see a video covering the Arcturian Heresy in depth and the story of Wulfharth! Some of the most fascinating lore in my humble opinion. Excited for more :)
I’d like to say that a lot of what was said about the Aldmeri is very much up to debate. The lore is very complicated on this, and if aldmeris is actually a “real” place is even up for grabs.
Wonderful work, thanks.
Thank you so much for this video!
The only Elder Scrolls game I've ever played was the Morrowind way back in the day. Despite that (or perhaps because of it), this video gave me a powerful wave of nostalgia.
BTW I was wondering since you are covering material from various media, maybe you could also cover the lore of some fantastical worlds that exist only in literature and weren't adapted into visual form yet. I'm specifically thinking about Roshar from the Sormlight Archive.
You should try the others. I am a busy man but i've been playing on and off Skyrim after its 10 year anniversary release on PS4.
Will you ever consider doing a creator collaboration? Obviously a large entity like Bethesda or the Tolkien estate may not be great partners, but if you ever got to the Honorverse or some other well regarded setting in the hands of a single creator, whose willing to let your work breathe without exorbitant royalty or meddling demands, it would be interesting to have your videos rise to canon or semicanon sourcing on the depictions of the people and weapons involved.
100% didn't expect this. I'm pleasantly surprised
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks. Please make more.
This makes me so happy you don’t understand
SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS!!!!!
Thank you so much for covering elder scrolls history even if it’s just this one video. This series doesn’t get enough consistent attention from the channels that start but never finish. So glad you did it though it brings me back
You did it, wow. You are now the first creator im turning on the notifications for. Youre awesome!
That cringe pronunciation of Chimer...
Awesome video, love this
I am very happy! That I found this channel this content I could watch for days.
Great! Have been waiting for elder scroll lore ............... thank you so much for this
