  • Are the gods screaming in pain? Is Nirnroot attuned to a divine frequency? Or is it just annoying? The FALLOUT of the secret lore at the end will SHOCK you... Oh and it gets louder every time I say Nirnroot.
    I'm sorry for making this. But there's a big video coming this week :)

    I've seen a few mentions of Nirnroot noise in this video? That was not in there when I uploaded the video. Are we just imagining it? (All seriousness though, I'm sorry for my actions, and there will be a big video dropping very soon. :)

      I dunno, it depends. Not all aspects of the Mundus is of Aetherius, some of it is of Oblivion, the more Padomaic elements. So Nirnroots may just be of Oblivion, or just doesn't have any Earthbones that deride mostly of Aetherius

    Nirn root's cry is the echo of Nir crying out in the Time-before-Time when she was struck down and remade as the Planet Nirn. It is the fragments of her memory, forever crying over the loss of her love and life.

  • @TheNuclearGeek
    @TheNuclearGeek Рік тому +11

    Here's a serious lore theory that you can chew on Drew. Perhaps Crimson Nirnroot's specific "song" provides the required harmonics to make Dwemer Tonal Architecture function which is why it is only found in Blackreach now? However, if the song is specifically tied to the color as was theorized, perhaps Crimson Nirnroot isn't actually the correct color of Nirnroot to provide the correct tone and has just changed over time without proper care? What would happen then if Orange Nirnroot were cultivated? The rebirth of Engineering? The return of the Dwemer? Can it be done? SHOULD it be tried? Dun Dun Dun...or I guess ring...ring...ring...
