Also for people who actually read this, this is probably my biggest project yet. It’s really what my channel has been sort of going towards, and I didnt expect to still be doing this in 2021. I started this channel in 2016 after watching and getting inspired guys like Fudgemuppet , Camelworks and Avarti. And to know that people actually enjoy my stuff is very cool. Thank you all 🙂

why is bro speaking so fast abt something so complex
In my own personal lore, I'm descended from lemur-like creatures in Africa
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds a lot like the Game of Thrones universe lol
Great video well paced and good length. Particularly loved the explanation of the elder scrolls themselves and why the game is called that, almost one to quote
15:37 there's a hint on dwemers disappearing
If you join the academy wnd do all of arniel gane's quests
I just want the next online game to have the opposing side be run by AI. Make it feel like PVP but with all players going against the AI.
I hope when todd howard retires we still get more elder scrolls games. I hope one (or ES6) has a dynasty system where you can play as your kids and have a family and that type stuff. Other games like mount and blade that have it make it so much more interesting.
instead of studying im watching this, man im cooked
What annoys me about the dragon blood (in Elder Scrolls and in other fantasies) is that if I knew the world rested on my blood existing in the world, I would make so many children.
Martin couldn't just clap 5-6 brothel women's cheeks before he died. Hell, even some of the female Blades would have taken one for the team.
Literally just spread your seed once or twice as a back up. COME ON!
Skyrim is just Early Dark Ages with Imperials playing the Romans and Nords serving the Germanians. That also explains the Europian influence and the heavy use of politics.
Thanks for doing this, it is interesting. I have played and loved these games, it's great to know the stories details.
So you're saying that BLADE ES is actually a part of the lore??, i betyer download it then
There is no information that argonians were fully driven back from Morrowind.
This is even better than human history lol
Hard to understand sometimes 😮
Had to turn the subtitles on
Disagree with me, but Elder Scrolls universe are like fantasy with real life politics. I mean that sucks. Like Great War its like IRL two World Wars. Pretending Mer are like Axis in World War 2 while human are savior etc. Same like The Witcher universe where Elves are persecuted etc. Pretty different than Tolkien stories pretend elves are elves, a fairy creature.
Ah typical western, very different than JRPG. No politics
NB: Aedra and Daedra are just like Jedi and Sith in fantasies. Yet another Star Wars copies
I still say the emperor should be a dragonborn.
Too fast. You talk too damn fast
1:03 that aged poorly
You are insane.
Bruh I was gonna go to sleep before I saw ts
Tiber Septim I was a Breton
Emperors, or anyone trying to rule/keep together an empire REALLY need to invest in some better security as this is getting ridiculous.
Finally a video for beginners who want to learn about the history of Tamriel. Thank you!
What about the redgaurds?
its 2024. In 2012 i thought i'd be playing the elder scrolls 7 by now. LOL. at this point im no longer excited. not in the slightest. after seeing what they did to starfield i have absolutely no hope of ever getting a good bethesda game again. Btw if you think starfield was a good or even decent game you just have no taste. Im not gonna argue with you. Its high budget garbage.
American history: ❌
Tamriel history: 🗿
You mean the white-brown concordat because i wiped my ass with it
It is 2024 and this video is still amazing! Thank you for this dedicated video..
New to Elder Scrolls. Got Skyrim last Christmas and I haven’t been able to put it down since. This game is phenomenal.
Genuinely the most complete whilst still comprehensible summary of the history of Tamriel that I've ever seen.
The dwemer and falmer were already in Skyrim and Marrowind before the Doom of Altmera.
So I just discovered you. Now I have a whole lore backlog to go through to have going in the background while I work! Wahey!
Also, fellow Dutchie I hear, so bonus points for that. Goedenavond!
i hope tes6 will be entire of tamriel
Pro-Tip: Assign playback speed to x0.85 for a calmer cadence that doesn’t render sounding laggy
No other medieval fantasy universe does lore quite like Elder Scrolls. Tamriel has a little bit of everything and is so varied in its worldbuilding.
I can’t wait to get even further
I love this game series
This video is full of great stuff, but please take more breaks in between talking. I can’t process one idea if you are already a full sentence into the next one.
All of us have sinned, turn to Jesus to be forgiven. Repent enless you want to end up with Satan, burning in hell for eternity. Jesus died for us so that we can be forgiven. Just accept him and follow his teachings. “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'”
Thank you deeply
Men, not humans.
This is the best summary of ES history I’ve ever seen. Well done man.
I realised books could be wrong after reading "Alduin/Akatosh Dichotomy" the well learned Imperial scholar gets it wrong, while the airhead Nord who cant even read and write gets it right by following the oral myths and traditions he writes "Alduin is real" a very funny and fascinating read
If you read "Imperial report on Sarthal" it doesn't know why the snow elves decided to sack Sarthal but if you read "Night of Tears" it says the Nords at Sarthal found great power(Eye of Magnus) and possibly the staff which the elves heard about and decided to invade winning initially before Ysgramors 500 companions reclaim it and push them out.
