  1. Hope you guys enjoyed this look into the Elder Scrolls lore! Do let me know if you wanna see any other topics from this series. Also apologies for some mispronunciations, I did look up most of the name but trying to record them it's very hard to get them right and have the video flow well. Hope it wasn't too bad, I beat myself up about this a lot if they are too bad!

  2. "To the land known as "Skyrim" shall I return once again to prevent the world from being eaten, lay an ancient evil power to rest and stop Molag Bal's influence from fully taking over Skyrim. Atmora. Tis a strange land indeed, but I have seen stranger things."

  3. Send this to Fudge Muppet if anyone here is in their discord (if they have one). They've got a lot of fans that would like this.

  4. Ok so idk if this leads anywhere, just a question: In Sky Haven Temple, theres a book talking about dragonborns saying how being dragonborn has to do somewhat with ancestry and or divine intervention. The book also says that the Septim line were mostly/somewhat dragonborn. Could this mean the Dragonborn could be a Septim, as we dont know our family in game?

  5. Its so odd to me how everyone's always just casually like "yeah the nords wiped the snow elves out" as though they didn't commit like genocide

  6. I think alot of people skimped over the fact that Ulfric is basically a medieval Lenin, he was sent to deliberately start a civil war and weaken the Empire by the Thalmor, yet an independent Skyrim could theoretically become just as powerful as the Empire or even moreso. Land size alone doesn't determine the strength of a nation, and if Skyrim was independent it could enjoy an economic and industrial boom like most authoritarian nations who get independent. I know Imperial stans will go crazy over defending their precious Empire- but ultimately every great nation crumbles and declines, especially multi-ethnic over expansionist ones like the one in Cyrodiil. Honestly it all comes down to stubbornness and unwillingness to cut losses or allow new powers to grow, Thucydides Trap is in full-swing here.

  7. Why the fuck does YouTube keep Glitching out and unsubbing me from this channel?! Fuckin hell YouTube , also I keep remembering the unnamed villager from the North from the anime To your eternity and his tragic and sad death and PewDiePies telltale game of thrones gameplay after hearing about the nords and Skyrim in the intro Lol.

  8. In my opinion I just feel like Ulfric is the best option for Skyrim, just like every human he has his flaws. But he would be a better king then torrygg or Elisif. Skyrim is better off independent and better off without the empire as the empire isn’t the same as it once was. I just feel like there is more pros for the stormcloacks then imperials

  9. Damn PC mods are so much better. But I don’t have the money to get a PC since Joe racist Biden is fucking up so horrible

  10. So what youre saying is everyone lived in peace until the white people came.

  11. I will never not be mad at Bethesda for handwaving so much potential for the unique nord lore we had before with a vague 'erm, imperialism' excuse that nothing in-game meaningfully addresses.

  12. The Orcs / Orsimer are not beast folk, actually were elves, hence the mer in Orsimer. A group of Altmer left Aldmeris following prophet Trinimac, who was then tricked by Maephala and then became Malacath and his followers became the Orcs / Orsimer, long story short.

  13. I got last very early on but it's because the names are hard and I wish I could have them up on screen to remember 😅

  14. Optics (deception) is the republican (religious) heart (mind)

    I.e. to deceive (steal/kill) by the idolatry that comes by life (perception/faith) in the constant-variable of conscience living, the hypocrisy whose blind terror can never reason by the subconscious/father truth/son; the only unpardonable sin)

    Evidence: subconscious/father truth/son (everlasting life)

    Hence, true/full insanity is of the conscience living; the hypocrisy that comes by the fear/hate that enslaves our believe system (heart), for which reason the religious are set apart from the subconscious truth (heaven)

    I.e. Jesus Christ is not idolatry

    Fate: everlasting life = subconscious truth (unchanging progenitor = constant-constant I.e. father/son)

    Because to have a hate-mongering leader is to lack all reasoning

    *No brain/mind (no heart/wisdom, which spirit of understanding comes by loves (Gods) believe/reasoning (love/mind: life/son); Gods/loves son/life: subconscious/unconditional/holy-truth/love/spirit)

    I.e. only ignorant animals (flesh/religious/blind/dead: heartless/midless/Godless) are his (liars) followers (seed of the devil by the enslaved consciousness of the conscious terrorism of living from hypocrisy in the believe system: murderers/thieves at the core/heart)

    (weak people live by fear in the constant variable) I.e. full/true hypocrites/devils

    *Capitalism first (conscience living) is the deception of a paramount democracy (the subconscious/father truth/son: Jesus Christ)

    I.e. conscience living is blind idolatry; the Nazism that comes by faith in the deception of life in the outer appearance (the deception that comes by faith in the constant variable of human perception)

    The Subconscious (Father) Truth (Son) is the constant (everlasting) courage (spirit) of unconditional (eternal) love (life), the only one who is holy (a true constant because He is set apart from our conscious perception; constant variable/fear)

    I.e. Jesus Christ (not idolatry by Christianity, who is conscience/false living/faith)

    because slavery to sin is the life of deception (perception) by the outer appearance (for fear through the lack of substance: subconscious truth), the truth (imagination/love) of the right wing terrorist (conscience living) believe system (heart)

    I.e. an offended mind = a small heart (false understanding)

    Hence, the reflection of your heart is in your perception

    “For as he thinketh (believes/understands/reasons) in his heart (subconscious/spirit/nature/soul/mind/ghost), so is he”

    “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of”

    only one heart/mind (believe system: progenitor of life) is good/perfect/sane:

    unconditional/holy/good/unchanging/perfect/everlasting (thinketh = way/truth/life = son)

    From,

    love/spirit/subconscious/creator/progenitor/imagination (heart = father)

    Hence,,

    “Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge"
    -Carl Jung

    Therefore,

    All men are morons (the subconsciously dead, for which lack of substance they surrender to conscience slavery because of the fear that comes by the lacking strong man; the subconscious/father truth/son)

    “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

    -Albert Einstein

    (Since each step in the process of reasoning must depend upon the intuitive perception of immediate agreement, the certainty of demonstrative knowledge is grounded on the certainty of intuition)

    “For as he thinketh (believes/understands/reasons) in his heart (subconscious/spirit/nature/soul/mind/ghost), so is he”

    The reason why some think like animals (conscience enslaved) and others seem foreign (subconscious freedom)

    conscience (outer appearance perception; conscious judgement)

    Subconscious truth (the life that pushes you forward; believing) = unconditional love

    I.e. trumpism = Nazism (blind religious hate; the ignorance of the subconscious/father truth/son; unconditional/unchanging (everlasting/holy) love/God (life/spirit): Jesus Christ

    *Wisdom = unconditional (holy) love (spirit)

    I.e. eternal life (the life of the subconscious/father truth/son, whom we ultimately become because it is who we truly are)
