In the moat outside of Dragonsreach, in Whiterun’s coveted (by Nazeem) Cloud District, one can find a rather out of place looking skeleton in the water. How did this poor soul get here? How come everybody is oblivious to it? Let’s find out.

Speshmarines! We are Speshmarines! Boryalum!!!!
I think Bartlett's remains are as good a guess as any
In defense of the so-called “aggressive skeleton”; keep in mind that they suffer the perpetual and ironic fate of having no wiener, yet always having a b*ner.
Dev 1: what if we put a random skeleton in the moat.
Dev 2: why?
Dev 1: eh why not
I always wondered what the context was of that letter in the Bannered Manor
New video? Thats so sigma
your videos are so addicting! always glad to see another upload from fizhy 🖤
I was always curious about that skeleton.
I thought that skeleton was a bug, lmai
I've been seeing that skeleton every now and then for 13 years so I was so used to it that I didn't know what skeleton you were talking about at first
I figured it was a joke about someone who had to wait to see the Jarl for so long they perished and turned into bones and are still there waiting. 😂
But really, its probably a piece of a cut quest from the originally planned larger Whiterun that actually had a Cloud District. Nazeem used to have a house, but it was cut so he's basically homeless.
Another amaz8ng video, live skyrim, well the game, tge world sounds like itll ve a little depressing to live in irl lol
I don't really think Bethesda puts as much thought into its environmental storytelling as to give every skeleton a backstory.
Naughty
It's obviously a redguard, we all know redguards can't swim
MonkaW 💀
How did I miss this upload? This would have been perfect to throw on while making dinner
7:47 I know that elsewhere is an actual word, but for some reason when you said it I first thought of Elsweyr, where the Khajiit come from, which just shows how much time I spend watching Elder Scrolls lore videos.
It would be very strange if the skeleton was actually transported to Whiterun from Elsweyr by the Khajiit caravans.
only fishee could make a 20 minute video about this guy
I always thought of Dragonreach’s “decorative moat” as you put it as an actually functional piece of architecture. Just not as part of the palace’s defenses, but more of a day to day thing. I think it’s a livewell that’s been made to resemble a moat. There’s always fish in there, and Whiterun Hold has lots of fertile fishing spots. Fisherman throughout the Hold could be payed by the Jarl’s household to catch fish from around the Hold and bring them back to Dragonsreach alive, so that the fish can be released into the livewell and recaptured when the Jarl’s kitchens are ready to cook them. There’s even waterfalls oxygenating the water and keeping them pure and flowing downhill. People often like to keep catfish or carp alive for a while in ponds, pools, or even bathtubs before cooking them. It lets you keep them in clean water eating clean food for a while, which lets some of the bottom-feeder funk work it’s way out of the meat.
It probably something to do with cut content for the Mephala quest, since the ebony blade is followed by a trail of death and it in Whiterun I imagine it would've had been for to kill someone at some point.
It's the last person who got to the cloud district very often. Nazeem was trying to warn us all along
So I don’t know what I did in my vanilla play through, but every time I enter Riften a huge fight happens in the town and everybody fights Maven. Serves her right I’ve always hated her. I am a dragon slaying badass I could easily turn her into paste if only the game would allow me.
Regardless how the body got there and who it is, a decomposing body would stink to high heaven so, which would not go un-noticed, especially considering where it was. I doubt the Jarl, his family or guards would tolerate that whiff for very long.
Obviously it was Nazeem, he seems so interested in whether or not people have been to the cloud district…. A little too interested.
Your videos are so great dude. As long as you keep making them I’ll keep watching
I’ve loved watching all of your RDR2 videos for the years you’ve been making them, and today I log onto YouTube to find out you’re making Skyrim videos, that are really interesting, in 2024!!!! My day has been made and my life complete
I certainly feel bad for anyone who considers Maven a 'friend' as there's no loyalty or honor in that woman's bones. God I hate her so much. And I feel bad for the poor wood elf who runs the meadery for her. The man is terrified, he even tells you she made multiple disappear and dumped their bodies in a lake.
Edit: I wasn't expecting it but you brought it up as soon as I finished writing this comment lol.
RIP Jones
1:14 Easter egg to Elisa Lam, who drowned mysteriously in a watertank above the Cecil Hotel
The moat/pons you mention where this skeleton floats in is the water supply for the city below, it flows all the way down through the districts and out of the city by the city gates.
There is one, though not very strong, reason why it is not Christophe. Maven letter says someone will come and escort him back to Riften, so it would be much easier to dispatch of Christophe somewhere on the road in the wilderness. If she wanted to send a message, well then the assassin wouldn't have hidden the body. And about the black sacrament, the letter to Astrid is unsent and the ritual sacrifice still in place so most likely whoever Maven wanted killed by the Dark Brotherhood is still alive. A potential target for the dark brotherhood might be Svidi/Lynly Star-Sung. She might be Sibbis problem, but I doubt that Maven would tolerate anyone humiliating her family
I love when Maven threatens me with the dark brotherhood bc I'm almost certainly the leader at that juncture
nazeem killed them. that's why he keeps asking you if you go to the cloud district often
He could be someone who is hated by the people. Maybe a traitor or someone who betrayed and as punishment their corpse was left under the bridge for everyone to walk over in disrespect
And being erased from history so no one will remember you
I don't think Maven even had to pay anyone to "look the other way" – death isn't exactly a rare sight in Skyrim, those are wild times in a country that is mostly untamed wilderness. People don't say much if you show up in town with a whole skeleton army following you, at max you get some grumpy comments about using magic which most nords see as weakness. Also if anyone is caught pickpocketing or lockpicking, the guards would be their BEST option, as some offended citizens would straight up attack a thief and could very much get them killed before the guards even arrive. So I don't think guards aren't used to see an unaccounted body here and there. After all, who cares? Noone? Then it isn't something worthy of attention.
