Oooooooo this should be a good one
Dieses Gespräch ist eine Erinnerung an die Kraft des Dialogs, Gräben zu überbrücken und Verständnis zu fördern. Es ist erhebend.😘
Cette vidéo est la meilleure chose qui soit arrivée à mon chat. Elle a maintenant une nouvelle idole💝
no views, 33 seconds? i feel special
Ooooooo more information on xrib
For context it's written: Xrib
We don't know how it's pronounced unfortunately
Shrooms, not even once.
nice
Hahah been waiting for this
Great vid
This concept needs to be explored further in Elder Scrolls VI
Glad you’re feeling better!
Oh wow, i was just exploring the forgotten vale again!
I've watched so many hours of your content thanks for putting out such consistent and entertaining videos
It a shame we don't have more also get well soon as in wish you luck getting better from your bug
Always a good day when I see a new video on snow elves
perhaps xrib is a merging of the snow elven pantheon that was corrupted due to the feeling of betrayal that was most likely present after undergoing dwemer torture and experiments.
I hope in the future we can have a game set in Skyrim during the Merethic Era, imagine seeing the war between Ysgramor and the Snow Elves in game, that'd be cool.
I hope we get the snow elves as a secret unlockable race in character creation, and have its own side quest where we find other members of the snow elves . I really like the snow elves and i hope they are not extinct
Honestly I love the idea of a false gods, or like a rise of "new" one. Though I wouldn't know how another god like that would come to be, since previous arguably false gods were like the Tribunal or I guess also like the Numidium, who are rly tied to already existing great powers like the Heart of Lorkhan.
Simply for me, it'd be hella interesting if some Great Being just manifested through the years of misfortune and suffering that the Falmer went through
But yeah, it's probably just Namira…
hope you feel better soon, great vid as always 👍
I hope ESO or TES 6 explores the falmer more they are so interesting but so little explored
Do the modern Falmer know that their species used to be Snow Elves?
A Daedra of some sort seems very likely with the brutal nature of how the Falmer behave but with the name seemingly only ever being used in one place, it's very hard to be sure what that name belongs to. Interestingly, the altar above the temple has its own little bit of magic in place. Once you interact with the items on the altar itself, some of the bones below will stand up and attack you, meaning both revival and reanimation are seemingly used by the same entity.
We can safely rule out Meridia with the reanimation, it doesn't line up with most princes in any way, and the closest thing to compare to Falmer religion is seemingly Reachman religion. Based on that, the first guesses would be Namira, Hircine, and Peryite. The latter two make no sense with the magic being used so Namira, being associated with spirits fairly often, actually fits reasonably well. She likes revulsion and the Falmer tame skeevers and bugs, use bug parts for weaponry, and eat people, with signs that they turn skin from those people into leather based on what's seen in Alftand. The undead aren't common for Namira but walking corpses don't conflict with her either.
The only other known deity they might be worshipping (if assuming it's another name for one we know) would be Molag Bal. They're a cruel race that feeds people to giant bugs and in one clear case kept them in what was surely designed by the Dwemer to be a torture chamber, Bal likes necromancy and based on the story about vampirism being made may have been the original user of it, and he also has demonstrated the ability to revive a dead man at his own altar in Markarth. All the magic directly connected to whatever Xrib is suits Molag Bal rather well and brutality is definitely the kind of thing he'd encourage in his followers, which means Falmer generally allign with his tendencies.
My best guess currently is that Falmer religion is actually a mix of both Namira and Molag Bal worship, with some kind of unnamed fertility god they revere and they probably have their own names for all of it. That would explain a lot of strange things that can be found in their underground camps. It's entirely possible they gradually switched to a focus on fertility after becoming blind, using generations as a measurement of time and abandoning Auriel in favor of something vaguely similar but no longer using measurements of day and night to track time passing since they don't see the sky and usually stay underground away from any weather.
Perhaps Xrib is a Daedric Prince of Caves, the Abyss, and Insects.
To build on “Xrib” being a made up deity, maybe their rituals and practices of Him/Her/It empower multiple Daedric gods; worshipping multiple in all but name. In return, their race gain unilateral boons from them like the increased intelligence which could come from H. Mora.
Hey can we please get a video on the camonna tong.
Abandon the Nine, praise Xrib.
Really interesting stuff.
Namira and Hermeus Mora are considered siblings by some cultures right? Maybe they worship them both?
Another option for the origins of Xrib: it's a corruption and combination of "Xarxes" and "Scribe"' (Xarxes being a sort of scribe god in a couple of elven pantheons).
Been here for about a decade and I’ll be here in another if I’m still around!
When I think of the name Xrib I think of Cathulu and Warhammer's God Tzeentch probably taking a form similar to Mora in Skyrim but that's my idea I get from the name and how the falmer survived on chorus and glowing mushrooms if you look at their chests further in the Dlc it makes me think the the containers could have been eggs of some kind
👏
I always wondered if they could make pacts with the deadra to see again
"Come at me, Xrib-lord, I'm ripped."
– Dragonborn
Xrib is the Falmer version of Xarxes, the scribe. They worship him because they seek their higher intelegence and knowledge back.
In Elder Scrolls primitive races like goblins and falmer for some reason only their females practice sorcery.
Just what i needed during my fasting hours
