actually, you can see the augur of dunlain a second time. if your restoration skill is 90, you'll be given a quest by one of the mages, and augur has a little test for you.
He means inside the game code. Story-wise no one likes her. But inside the game code? Well no one is set to dislike her enough to try to kill her on sight. The worst everyone but Edda will do is employ harsh language.
Hmmm...I may have to exploit this info the next time I have to kill Grelod. Maybe reverse-pickpocket a poisoned dagger into Edda's inventory first. The possibilities....

In the Magicians novels by Lev Grossman, the books that the SyFy TV series is based on, a wizard who loses control of a spell that's too powerful for them to handle can be consumed by the spell and transformed into a being of pure magical energy that possesses greatly increased power and magical knowledge. Two of the books in the series were published before the release of Skyrim and could have potentially provided some inspiration for the Augur.
Don't know if you covered that, but, two little details I came across recently: after you release Durnehviir from the Ideal Masters by releasing him three times, the forth time you summon him with the shout, he will stay flying and chilling in the area you summoned him, until you summon him in another area, with a small "distortion" in the ground where you summoned him, and, during the quest The Heart of Dibella, after you rescued Fjotra from the Forsworn, you can make a quick stop in the village she's from to let her say her goodbyes to her father (maybe you can bring her to her mother as well, but she never leaves the house, as far as I know), sweet wholesome moment! Love your vids!
@@karakas9905 yeah, the third time I summoned him in a plain field close to Whiterun, I fast traveled to the hold and he simply and gracefully landed right beside me like "Sup Dovah"
The Augur of Dunlain is someone that reached Chim in my opinion. In his study of the workings of life and his study of the mysteries of Oblivion, he realized he was part of the Dreamers Dream but had the will to last, not physically, which he cared little about, but his mind and power carried on to amass more knowledge.
I need to add "Edda killing Grelod for us" to my collection of ways I've killed Grelod "The Kind" in various playthroughs. This makes Edda so much cooler AFAIC.
Just mod then and give them both ridiculously large weapons like 2h swords or giant hammers and spawn them both in the middle of the Riften market. I would pay septims to watch that fight. XD
The two vampires that you think killed the people in Falkreath are actually targets for the dark brotherhood, just the male vamp though. Maybe the people knew the vampires were killing their people and decided to take one out via the black sacrament.
There's the potential that edas hatred for gerlod is for players who don't want to kill grelod and try to scare her out if the orphanage. Eda would then kill her and you could continue?
Maybe, the devs do like to have multiple ways to do some of the stuff, and if you're a sneaky assassin you don't actually get the victim's blood on your hands. This would make a lot of sense if you can talk to Edda, but I have no idea if Edda even has dialog. If you could talk to her before the quest starts and find out she hates Grelod, then it's a logical alternate path to quest completion.
@@marhawkman303 all beggars at least have the option to give them a septim to get the gift of charity speech buff. Though i wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda initially wanted to give players the option to convince others to do your dirty work for the Brotherhood
@@marhawkman303 she does hate her as used to be at orphanage and will attack her if spawned with her, but not sure you can get them together with consol....
Nate's in game chatacter has probably achieved CHIM and is working toward mantling Hermaeus Mora. Id love to see Mora return in TES:VI and his first line of dialogue be "Hey guys, Its Herma Mora here-and today we'll be exploring a brand new questline."
With the Enodius thing, I always like to make up little stories for stuff like this and imagine that there was some rich and secret story behind him. After the end of the Great War he was being targeted by the Thalmor after it was discovered that he was a member of the Blades, he discovered that they were after him he left his old life behind so that they couldn't track him. Eventually they grew desperate and contacted the Brotherhood via Black Sacrament to hunt him down. One assassin came after him before and he barely managed to fight and kill him thanks to his combat experience. After some time had passed he realized that he was getting old and frail, he realized that he wouldn't be able to fight off another assassin so he fled for the hills to hopefully hide from his would be killer. Alas, he was not so fortunate and was killed by the player.
Ennodius seems quite panicky for a former Blade. If you tried that trick on Fultheim or the other two I'd imagine they'll swing first and ask questions never. Fultheim already has an itchy blade hand and will attack the Dragonborn if they're wearing Thalmor robes.
Ancano actually caused the great collapse. the eye of magnus is the eye of the architect of the world. when ancano tries to use it, he blew up winterhold 80 years in the past.
I think the Augur of Dunlain has the potential to be seen as a god in Elder Scrolls VI. Some Nord mages could be some sort of cultists or whatever. And I've already put more thought into this game than Bethesda but into Fallout 76
At 6:49, remember the quest, “Ill met by moonlight”? The guy in the Falkreath jail admits he killed a little girl. Maybe he killed a little more than just one person. Food for thought.
I've been bingeing these, but it was just as I was listening to how we don't know about the Augur of Dunlain's deal that I realized why these types of videos - and Skyrim as a whole - are so fascinating and engaging: TES5 doesn't feel like it was made just for the player to do stuff in, it feels like a world where things are happening that the player will never know about. That sort of thing brings any fictional world to life more than anything else, the sense that it doesn't just exist for the audience, there's so much more going on than we'll ever be privy to. Like, if every single thing in a game exists solely for the player to learn about and/or interact with, that's fun and all, but it's not very immersive; the idea that there's more than we'll ever know makes it feel less like a game and more like an actual place, much like the real world wherein we will never know all of what's up; that's why Skyrim is so easy to get lost in despite being janky to play and not very pretty.
I'm sure it's been theorized a lot before, but I wonder if Yokuda's disappearence and Winterhold's great collapse were connected somehow? Like whatever magical thing that sank the continent later did the same to Winterhold thousands of year later, or something.
2:42 This is incorrect. In the Restoration Master Spell quest, which you get from Colette Marence after you get your Restoration to 90 or above, you interact with him another time.
9:27 He also said the Redguards sailed WEST until landing in Hammerfell, which you cannot go to by sailing West, you have to go East... it's on the West side of Tamriel... he really fucked up this video.
@@RustyMerc4Hire Well... assuming Nirn isn't flat, they could have sailed west, then north or south to go around the eastern side of Tamriel, then continue west, and reach Hammerfell that way.
@@_chew_ let me reiterate to make what I said clearer for you, they were sailing until they landed in in the mainland to try to conquer it, correct? If they sailed directly west from their home, then why wouldn't they stop & land literally anywhere on the right side? Why go all the way around the continent to this one specific spot? That makes 0 sense. If they were sailing west & they all came to conquer Tamriel then they would of just landed in Morrowind or Black Marsh. In this case it makes far more sense if they sailed east considering where Hammerfell is on the map now.
@@RustyMerc4Hire I'm not saying that's what happened, I was just thinking of a way they could get to Hammerfell by sailing west. Obviously it makes a lot more sense that they just sailed east, especially since if they had sailed west they would have gotten to Akavir before Tamriel. I'm just saying it's not impossible to reach Hammerfell by sailing west from Yokuda. I'm not being entirely serious here, I'm just bored.
Ancient Yokudan history suggests that there was a race of "left-handed elves" in Yokuda who could use magic to shape and into structures. My theory is that these elves were actually Dwemer, who used tonal architecture to sink Yokuda after losing a war to the Yokudans. This war is also what drove the Dwemer to Hammerfell and Tamriel beyond.
There actually is an answer about yokuda if you look into it. It’s something to do with a forbidden sword singing technique that was used to wipe out a race of elves called the sinestral elves. Hopefully with the next elder scrolls game and the rumours we learn more though.
One time Balimund killed Grelod the kind. I have to admit that i've invested money in his work and gave him the 10 pints of fire salts. Also i thought his son had lived in the orphanage or he was just helping me as a friend. Now i'm really getting worried. TheEpicNate315, have you ever tried this before or after giving Edda a Septim? If you have given her a Septim she can become friends and will fight for you when in danger.
@@marhawkman303 Yes a little. Not enough to have a full conversation with her. She's always nice if you've given her a Septim. She makes a few comments and you can start a bumfight when you just drop something at the marketplace in Riften.
The people who don't look in depth are the ones who cannot truly appreciate it. I know so many people who just run through dungeons without learning a single detail of the story for the dungeon. I knew a guy who had been playing skyrim for years before I even touched it and I knew all about the bugs in jars before him.
did anyone notice that servos aren summons daedras to help fight? i got attacked by an ancient dragon as he came out of the college and he summoned a dremora
I think it makes the most sense that Edda in fact was an orphan and just hates Gerlod for her cruelty. It crossed my mind right away when you started talking about the orphanage.
For the Falkreath one I suscribe to the theory of the vampires in Halfmoon Mill. Another reason could be Sinding... he said he was traveling for a while. Maybe he was roaming the forests before getting to town?
Just found this channel about 2 months ago and have been absolutely hooked, been slowly watching through all of Nate’s previous videos as well as any new videos that come out, fantastic work my dude!
Not sure if you've covered this before (I haven't made it through all of your videos yet) or if this belongs in an "Unsettling Mysteries" video or some other category, but in Riften, when doing the quest to get the Marks of Dibella, there are two men who claim to be married to the same woman. Bolli is married to Drifa, but when you go to get the Mark of Dibella from another character, Bersi, Bersi says, "I would never sleep with anyone other than my good wife, Drifa." However, he also has dialogue (not related to the quest) that mentions his wife, Nivenor. Nivenor has dialogue that says, "My husband, Bersi, will be the death of me." So a writer at Bethesda got these two mixed up when writing their dialogue. (Or there are some polygamists running around Riften. But, hey, who am I to judge?)
I always assumed the corpses around falkreath elude to the dark brotherhood, since many of them do seem to enjoy killing and might just do so in their free time
5:49 Sinding, the aftermath of Sinding’s hunts. Unless the bodies spawn in after we kill Sinding, if we choose to do so, it’s gotta be Sinding right?? Well, or Hern and Hert of course
Ever wonder what is up with the sewer grate in Solitude? If you talk to Ri'saad about the bandits on the road you will start a quest chain to deal with the Saints and Seducers. This is quite the beneficial quest chain while the boss fight is quite nasty. It has it all. A second companion, new armor recipes, crazy alchemy components, new summon spells, new atronach forge recipes, and even visits from the past Elder Scrolls games.
Hey Nate! Hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday!!! On the subject of the Auger of Dunlain, you left out that he gives the Dovakiin the Master of Restoration challenge. He takes everything away from you leaving only your ability to cast Restoration spells while being attacked for a certain length of time. I was wondering if what the Auger was doing to lead him to his present situation is very similar to what the Ideal Master did. Short of his location, everything about him reeks of what a very early stage of what the Ideal Masters became. Anyway, just a thought that I'd love some feedback on.
Hi Nate, great vid. Kodrir at Anga's mill will send you a letter if you kill Ennodius (negative dispostion), but from memory he also has some dialogue. Maybe he did the Black Sacrament.
Pretty sure, given the detail and time Nate has put into Skyrim, he actually knows more than Todd Howard at this point. Nate is the master of the Elder Scrolls. Alt theory, one of his cats is Todd Howard and he whispers secrets of Skyrim into Nate’s ears while he’s sleeping.
As someone who's fiddled around with Skyrim's Creation Kit: You don't just accidentally set a relationship to hostile. You'd have to go out of your way to create a relationship for those two characters and SET it to hostile.
Imagine walking through winterhold to get to the collage Now imagine Naziem randomly appearing behind you Because you don’t get to the cloud district often
For Ennodius Pappius, the Dark Brotherhood hasn't been able to get contracts through the Black Sacrament for a while now, so they listen for contracts through the rumor mill, so him hearing about the contract on his head isn't too far out of the ordinary.
I love watching your videos in most video games I've been through snowy mountains vast oceans and cities but I would love to go through deserts like in hammerfell
my headcanon on what sunk yokuda were sword-singers. by their usage of pankratosword which is like a nuclear bomb. that pankratosword manuever is very powerful. Cyrus the restless (the hoonding) used it against Talos and beat him which prompted Talos to use CHIM to changed Cyrus timeline to make sure he didn't use the pankratosword on vivec.
The Augur being linked to The Great Collapse seems to be a likely probability to me, yeah. Was thinking of saying something about that, before I heard you mention it, lol. I think it's implied in the dialogues that he can move around through the inanimate material of the college & its foundations, or that he himself (or his Energy) Are Now Inanimate. And every time I saw that loading-screen quote about the Collapse I just thought "Well, they Are Wizards, maybe one of them had Just Enough Time to Cast A Big Spell or something." But if one of them had Botched An Experiment, and turned themself into The Very Inanimate Rocks & Foundations (in some weird existential Magical-Energy way) that might fortify it?!
Wait dont you mean that the yukudans sailed east because their home island was west of tamriel putting hammerfell on the east of yukuda so sailing west would have them end up in akavir. Just a thought 9:26
@@Soapy_Sophie23 honestly, we don't know if it is or not. we don't even know if they actually have outer space or not. i can shoot an arrow and hit the sun. light from the sun and stars comes from another plane of existence. nirn could very well be flat.
@@thomasjenkins7506 nirn has tidal movements which are cause by both the sun and moons gravity pulling on nirn causing high tide and low tide on opposite ends of a planet. Tidal movements just couldn't occur on a flat world
I think it would be pretty cool if the Ansai used their stone magic to raise Yokuda into the air and out of the sea...but if they "took their magic out on the land", well that could be destruction of Yokuda.
Awww, you missed a lovely chance to end the first one like this: "Whatever the Augur's tale, only it knows... and that information's not available in his speech selections."
Its worth noting that you get to interact with the Augur of Dunlain a second time when you reach level 90 restoration magic as part of a mission if I remember correctly
Yokuda has some reasoning behind its disappearance actually, the redguards populated and lived alongside another race called sinistral elves and they usually lived harmoneously until an all out war went on and it i think if im correct, the redguards dominated and in a last ditch salty attempt at wrecking the spoils of their victors, the stone mages (basically earth benders) or specific 1s of the sinistral elves would try and sink the islands
The siblings that work the half-moon mill are half vampire and half werewolf. A guy did a video on it and shows how they did it. Half moon/half werewolf, they're out in the middle of the day with no issues, things like that.
You can meet the Augur of Dunlain again when doing the Master Restoration quest for Colette Marence. The quest reward is a Master spell called Bane of the Undead.
actually, you can see the augur of dunlain a second time. if your restoration skill is 90, you'll be given a quest by one of the mages, and augur has a little test for you.

The guy in the Falkreath jail admits he killed a little girl. Maybe he killed a little more than just one person.
Food for thought.
I always thought that, cuz wasn’t he a werewolf? So it made sense he never took their items. (Haven’t played in awhile)
I've been bingeing these, but it was just as I was listening to how we don't know about the Augur of Dunlain's deal that I realized why these types of videos - and Skyrim as a whole - are so fascinating and engaging: TES5 doesn't feel like it was made just for the player to do stuff in, it feels like a world where things are happening that the player will never know about. That sort of thing brings any fictional world to life more than anything else, the sense that it doesn't just exist for the audience, there's so much more going on than we'll ever be privy to. Like, if every single thing in a game exists solely for the player to learn about and/or interact with, that's fun and all, but it's not very immersive; the idea that there's more than we'll ever know makes it feel less like a game and more like an actual place, much like the real world wherein we will never know all of what's up; that's why Skyrim is so easy to get lost in despite being janky to play and not very pretty.
The biggest mystery is whether Nate will even learn to correctly say "et cetera".... We might never know
the way he says "atronoch" is like me taking 1hp of damage in an MMO
What I like the most about your videos is that it lets us see things from another perspective and solve quests in some other fun ways
I'm sure it's been theorized a lot before, but I wonder if Yokuda's disappearence and Winterhold's great collapse were connected somehow? Like whatever magical thing that sank the continent later did the same to Winterhold thousands of year later, or something.
2:42 This is incorrect. In the Restoration Master Spell quest, which you get from Colette Marence after you get your Restoration to 90 or above, you interact with him another time.
9:27 He also said the Redguards sailed WEST until landing in Hammerfell, which you cannot go to by sailing West, you have to go East... it's on the West side of Tamriel... he really fucked up this video.
@@RustyMerc4Hire Well... assuming Nirn isn't flat, they could have sailed west, then north or south to go around the eastern side of Tamriel, then continue west, and reach Hammerfell that way.
@@_chew_ let me reiterate to make what I said clearer for you, they were sailing until they landed in in the mainland to try to conquer it, correct? If they sailed directly west from their home, then why wouldn't they stop & land literally anywhere on the right side? Why go all the way around the continent to this one specific spot? That makes 0 sense. If they were sailing west & they all came to conquer Tamriel then they would of just landed in Morrowind or Black Marsh. In this case it makes far more sense if they sailed east considering where Hammerfell is on the map now.
@@RustyMerc4Hire I'm not saying that's what happened, I was just thinking of a way they could get to Hammerfell by sailing west. Obviously it makes a lot more sense that they just sailed east, especially since if they had sailed west they would have gotten to Akavir before Tamriel. I'm just saying it's not impossible to reach Hammerfell by sailing west from Yokuda. I'm not being entirely serious here, I'm just bored.
@@_chew_ Nah, he made a mistake. In previous video, he said that Akavir is on the west of Tamriel.
The one causing the death's at falkreath is me, I murdered practically everyone
Ancient Yokudan history suggests that there was a race of "left-handed elves" in Yokuda who could use magic to shape and into structures. My theory is that these elves were actually Dwemer, who used tonal architecture to sink Yokuda after losing a war to the Yokudans. This war is also what drove the Dwemer to Hammerfell and Tamriel beyond.
Interesting theory
Was about to go to bed when I saw this video. Already knew that another 14mins of no sleep wasnt going to be a problem for this awesome video!
Another unsettling mystery how does Nate find all of these tiny details
He watches ESO's channel for Skyrim ideas and Oxhorn's for Fallout material.
No it must be more mysterious than that
@@joeyvanostrand3655 ESO does guides but no Lore explanations
@@MEYH3M which is where Nate comes in lol. He does the lore explanation
The world may never know...
Thx for bringing this Vamps up again. Found this myself and loved to think about this.
have you tried shouting at the mine in dawnstart? you will get another letter from that friend if you do that
@MJPK i dont remember but try it at both
Thanks for the underlying story lines that Bethesda apparently meant to remove, it adds more depth to the game! TeeHee
Binge watch every video during work. Best content so far ...
There actually is an answer about yokuda if you look into it. It’s something to do with a forbidden sword singing technique that was used to wipe out a race of elves called the sinestral elves. Hopefully with the next elder scrolls game and the rumours we learn more though.
One time Balimund killed Grelod the kind. I have to admit that i've invested money in his work and gave him the 10 pints of fire salts. Also i thought his son had lived in the orphanage or he was just helping me as a friend. Now i'm really getting worried. TheEpicNate315, have you ever tried this before or after giving Edda a Septim? If you have given her a Septim she can become friends and will fight for you when in danger.
Hmm so does she have any dialog?
@@marhawkman303 Yes a little. Not enough to have a full conversation with her. She's always nice if you've given her a Septim. She makes a few comments and you can start a bumfight when you just drop something at the marketplace in Riften.
@@ramonnik82 no dialog about Grelod I suppose?
@@marhawkman303 Nope, nothing.
“The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense”
- mark twain I believe
If Yokuda is west of Hammerfell, wouldn't the Red Guards have had to sailed eastward, not west? Great video though.
This was confusing me too.
Nate you're a legend for looking this in depth at this buggy game
The people who don't look in depth are the ones who cannot truly appreciate it. I know so many people who just run through dungeons without learning a single detail of the story for the dungeon. I knew a guy who had been playing skyrim for years before I even touched it and I knew all about the bugs in jars before him.
did anyone notice that servos aren summons daedras to help fight? i got attacked by an ancient dragon as he came out of the college and he summoned a dremora
I think it makes the most sense that Edda in fact was an orphan and just hates Gerlod for her cruelty. It crossed my mind right away when you started talking about the orphanage.
One unsettling unknown is if skyrim is a big game or not. Y dont u tell us, nate? Y do u hide the answer?
Big in terms of scale or impact on gaming itself?
It's a big game.
For you.
For the Falkreath one I suscribe to the theory of the vampires in Halfmoon Mill.
Another reason could be Sinding... he said he was traveling for a while. Maybe he was roaming the forests before getting to town?
12:02 "Grelod isn't hated by anyone else". I'm pretty sure Aventus Aretino does.
Just found this channel about 2 months ago and have been absolutely hooked, been slowly watching through all of Nate’s previous videos as well as any new videos that come out, fantastic work my dude!
Not sure if you've covered this before (I haven't made it through all of your videos yet) or if this belongs in an "Unsettling Mysteries" video or some other category, but in Riften, when doing the quest to get the Marks of Dibella, there are two men who claim to be married to the same woman. Bolli is married to Drifa, but when you go to get the Mark of Dibella from another character, Bersi, Bersi says, "I would never sleep with anyone other than my good wife, Drifa." However, he also has dialogue (not related to the quest) that mentions his wife, Nivenor. Nivenor has dialogue that says, "My husband, Bersi, will be the death of me." So a writer at Bethesda got these two mixed up when writing their dialogue. (Or there are some polygamists running around Riften. But, hey, who am I to judge?)
Grelod put the scars on Edda's face
I had the Dark Brotherhood sent after me a few times.
I always came out on top.
I always assumed the corpses around falkreath elude to the dark brotherhood, since many of them do seem to enjoy killing and might just do so in their free time
For the falkreath one it could be the werewolf because I'll lit by moonlight starts in falkreath
There's theories grellad killed edda's child
I was watching some of the other unsettling mystery videos when this came out 😂
That’s an unsettling mystery
You are easily in my top 7 yt channels ever❤️
6:30 Falkreath is also where Sinding the Werewolf and Babette the chibi-vampire roam, as well as the ones you named.
I love seeing a Nate notification on my YT reminders
Another strange thing about Edda is that I got a courier letter giving me inheritance from Edda, before I’d even been to Riften.
Spicing up the intro adding the call out to the other elder scrolls games not just our fav
I love the video man keep it going u are doing good work
Glad to see u modding it up for your b-roll
5:49 Sinding, the aftermath of Sinding’s hunts. Unless the bodies spawn in after we kill Sinding, if we choose to do so, it’s gotta be Sinding right??
Well, or Hern and Hert of course
I love your channel! New subscriber 🥳
Ever wonder what is up with the sewer grate in Solitude? If you talk to Ri'saad about the bandits on the road you will start a quest chain to deal with the Saints and Seducers. This is quite the beneficial quest chain while the boss fight is quite nasty. It has it all. A second companion, new armor recipes, crazy alchemy components, new summon spells, new atronach forge recipes, and even visits from the past Elder Scrolls games.
Hey Nate! Hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday!!!
On the subject of the Auger of Dunlain, you left out that he gives the Dovakiin the Master of Restoration challenge. He takes everything away from you leaving only your ability to cast Restoration spells while being attacked for a certain length of time. I was wondering if what the Auger was doing to lead him to his present situation is very similar to what the Ideal Master did. Short of his location, everything about him reeks of what a very early stage of what the Ideal Masters became. Anyway, just a thought that I'd love some feedback on.
You can actually pass the quest with high sneak as well. They quest ghosts can't find you so they can't hurt you so you survive
@@chefedegaru Cool! You'd think I'd have known that as much as I love to sneak around the game.
That would mean he was a super powerful lich.
I really like the imperial hero armor in the thumbnail 😍👌
Hi Nate, great vid. Kodrir at Anga's mill will send you a letter if you kill Ennodius (negative dispostion), but from memory he also has some dialogue. Maybe he did the Black Sacrament.
Pretty sure, given the detail and time Nate has put into Skyrim, he actually knows more than Todd Howard at this point. Nate is the master of the Elder Scrolls.
Alt theory, one of his cats is Todd Howard and he whispers secrets of Skyrim into Nate’s ears while he’s sleeping.
Todd realizing that the fans have been thinking and theorizing about Skyrim errors way too much*
Laughs in Sheo
I have a theory: Papius was drunk with Sanguine and the Dragonborn, and he performed the Black Sacrament on himself
As someone who's fiddled around with Skyrim's Creation Kit: You don't just accidentally set a relationship to hostile. You'd have to go out of your way to create a relationship for those two characters and SET it to hostile.
Imagine walking through winterhold to get to the collage
Now imagine Naziem randomly appearing behind you
Because you don’t get to the cloud district often
For Ennodius Pappius, the Dark Brotherhood hasn't been able to get contracts through the Black Sacrament for a while now, so they listen for contracts through the rumor mill, so him hearing about the contract on his head isn't too far out of the ordinary.
I was most intrigued by the final entry, but I'm most curious about the first. The College of Winterhold is my favorite faction in Skyrim.
Best elder scrolls channel!!!
I love watching your videos in most video games I've been through snowy mountains vast oceans and cities but I would love to go through deserts like in hammerfell
my headcanon on what sunk yokuda were sword-singers. by their usage of pankratosword which is like a nuclear bomb.
that pankratosword manuever is very powerful. Cyrus the restless (the hoonding) used it against Talos and beat him
which prompted Talos to use CHIM to changed Cyrus timeline to make sure he didn't use the pankratosword on vivec.
Merry Christmas, Nate 🤶
The Augur being linked to The Great Collapse seems to be a likely probability to me, yeah.
Was thinking of saying something about that, before I heard you mention it, lol.
I think it's implied in the dialogues that he can move around through the inanimate material of the college & its foundations, or that he himself (or his Energy) Are Now Inanimate.
And every time I saw that loading-screen quote about the Collapse I just thought "Well, they Are Wizards, maybe one of them had Just Enough Time to Cast A Big Spell or something."
But if one of them had Botched An Experiment, and turned themself into The Very Inanimate Rocks & Foundations (in some weird existential Magical-Energy way) that might fortify it?!
Wait dont you mean that the yukudans sailed east because their home island was west of tamriel putting hammerfell on the east of yukuda so sailing west would have them end up in akavir. Just a thought 9:26
That's if Nirn isn't flat
@@samsonguy10k it isn't
@@Soapy_Sophie23 honestly, we don't know if it is or not. we don't even know if they actually have outer space or not. i can shoot an arrow and hit the sun. light from the sun and stars comes from another plane of existence. nirn could very well be flat.
@@thomasjenkins7506 nirn has tidal movements which are cause by both the sun and moons gravity pulling on nirn causing high tide and low tide on opposite ends of a planet. Tidal movements just couldn't occur on a flat world
@@Soapy_Sophie23 you say that, but the moons have disappeared before and the world didn't end. nirn doesn't follow the laws of physics from our world.
I think it would be pretty cool if the Ansai used their stone magic to raise Yokuda into the air and out of the sea...but if they "took their magic out on the land", well that could be destruction of Yokuda.
I don’t normally kill random npcs in the games I play, but I made an exception for Grelod
Nice video 😀
Awww, you missed a lovely chance to end the first one like this:
"Whatever the Augur's tale, only it knows... and that information's not available in his speech selections."
Prey to the great Devines that Nate never runs out of content to reveal.
Maybe Enodius performed the black sacrament himself, it supports the idea from being a broken to aware of the dark brotherhood assasins. 😂
You get to talk to the Augur during the Restoration Ritual Spell Quest, where you have to prove yourself for him to teach you the master spells
Its worth noting that you get to interact with the Augur of Dunlain a second time when you reach level 90 restoration magic as part of a mission if I remember correctly
Yokuda has some reasoning behind its disappearance actually, the redguards populated and lived alongside another race called sinistral elves and they usually lived harmoneously until an all out war went on and it i think if im correct, the redguards dominated and in a last ditch salty attempt at wrecking the spoils of their victors, the stone mages (basically earth benders) or specific 1s of the sinistral elves would try and sink the islands
*my favorite Skyrim channel! Let's get some tiny details*
My first thought with the bodies in falkreath is "it was probably foreshadowing to discovering Sinding in "I'll met by moonlight"
Hey, how's it going Nate, it's Guys here!
10:20 Yukoda had just lost a civil war.
Can you ever really win a civil war?
Nope, loss-loss situation.
How it going Nate
It's guy here
The siblings that work the half-moon mill are half vampire and half werewolf. A guy did a video on it and shows how they did it. Half moon/half werewolf, they're out in the middle of the day with no issues, things like that.
You can meet the Augur of Dunlain again when doing the Master Restoration quest for Colette Marence. The quest reward is a Master spell called Bane of the Undead.
Hey Nate! 😙
Edda kind of looks like Grelod... Maybe she's her estranged daughter?
