@Rick K Then you will be glad I intend to make 2 follow up videos as I mention in the end of the video haha (No promises when, I have SO MANY subjects I have to do but I am going to try to bring them as quick as possible without getting too much off track)

@Rick K Thanks for the support :)

@@ImperialKnowledge It's Blacklight not Blackrose. Though I myself called Jehanna as Jeranna...So I'm no better then thee.

Yes, transmute is a problem. But I suspect it would be illigal and a very hard spell to use. If it were done on mass scalr it would be a big problem though

I've thought about that to, if that spell was used on a large scale it would cause hell to the gold based economy of the empire. Because the more gold and silver there is the less valuable it is. As for the bandit camp you fined the spell in, I believe the chief was onto the secrets of the spell. Because in the area you find the spell there is a few chunks of iron ore and one chunk of silver ore.

FulgrimClone #8675309 Good catch! Yeah, he might’ve been on to trying to figure it out. I believe it is listed as an adept level spell, so it’s not too difficult to use hypothetically. If it was a known spell then it would be illegal for sure. But I don’t think it is a known spell, because it makes gold and silver drop in value based on the amount of iron you could obtain. So at risk of devaluing the currency you’d think they would just switch to a mineral or material you cannot simply make more of by transmuting iron ore. If it was a known spell though, how might it be used in war time to effect the economy? And could the Dominion have used it to pay the Empire after signing the concordat?

Most settings that have metal transmutation magic/tech make it excedingly rare and restricted. Also I think a decent mage or very experienced smith could tell the gold was counterfeit or at least tempered with

@@AlshainFR But would transmuted material be any less valuable than untampered gold or silver? Would there be any characteristics that would have an affect on wether they could be used interchangeably? What is to stop someone from mass transmuting materials illegally? Or for perhaps a province to do it on a major scale should they be faced with an international crisis?

Nice!

How is it going so far?

Hows it going?

Any help or support wanted. I haven’t made anything for the nexus but I’ve done a few random things on the creation kit. Not a pro but happy to help

Which is much better :P

That is an amazing idea. Like instead of gold coins, glass coins. Instead of silver coins moonstone coins

Imperial Knowledge Yeah exactly, like every country used something important to their traditions or culture

Bosmeri coins: Made from the bones of their fallen enemies :)

@@JeFilm94 Bosmeri coins: Made from the bones of their fallen FAMILLY :^p

Altmer stuff just needs glass in general. Glass everywhere! Maybe glass-inlaid moonstone?

Lol

Hmhm Interesting! Unfortunately I did not come up with that as I am not that economically educated. This video is just hobby work haha

That existed in Daggerfall I believe. A lot of really sick rpg stuff did actually that we lost in morrowind, though honestly the lore changes in mw made it better imo

Yeah I found it too to be very interesting!

Unfortunately we don't get an indication of pirate impact on trade around tamriel. We do get some data about skyrim and the sea of ghosts, but not much else unfortunately

@@ImperialKnowledge Hammerfell is famous for its pirates, I'd argue western Tamriel is a threat to trade lanes if not properly defended.

ok but who asked ¿

They are at peace, search for "second treaty of stros mkai

Imperial alteration mage. Get transmute spell in a bandit hunting camp north west of whiterun. Boom.

Invest in Alchemy, it is a highly profitable skill. Which also opens up the path to better enchanting and smithing so more wealth to be had there if you choose to combine it all. Also choosing an Imperial would be fitting, considering they're more charismatic than the usual races. And they find more wealth when dungeon diving.

As for example, my current character has 100 in all 3 skills, and with materials numbering around 2000, I can get 5 times that amount if I choose the correct enchantments. Although I would resort to potions more often to earn wealth, easier to carry and all.

Could be

No because when Skyrim starts the Windhelm office has been excluded from most trade by the company because of the raids. Its essentially out of business until you put it back in business again after the quest rise in the east.

Imperial Knowledge However, in oblivion and Morrowind you can find many EETC locations on the trading map

Probably their trade would be handled, maritimely, by the shatter shields as mentioned in the video. Other than that I mention some things in my civil war economy video if I remember correctly

Imperial Knowledge though I am a firm Imperial supporter I am always eager to listen to the opposition and their possibilities. Thanks for telling me

It probably wouldn't work that great. With a full-blown war with the Empire, their trade lanes are probably going to get raided constantly, and with Skyrim fresh from Civil war, the goods exported from Skyrim would cost an unreasonable amount of coin, especially because they also have to rebuild their land, deal with Legion stragglers and finish off the Forsworn, all endevours that cost a lot of coin.

I believe he's dutch.

Or German

I am dutch

YW

From a game perspective, very much! From a lore perspective not so much, since I get a lot of trolls saying "this lore is canon because its in beyond skyrim" but that is not how anything works, it isnt canon

@@ImperialKnowledge I'm so hyped ,their saying even the cyrodil project it's self is like a huge file simaliar to Skyrim, and once it comes out perhaps the modding community can just start making submods for it. Because I'll admit Skyrim the region on tameriel is getting somewhat boring.

Among other things. The biggest problem is the local support for the Legion, the Forsworn in the Reach, and Skyrim's dire state of economy following the Civil War. With no trade partners, getting deals will be difficult, as the Stormcloaks would probably ask prices that are totally unreasonable when compared to the other provinces of Tamriel.

Skyrim is going to be in real trouble no matter who wins the civil war, both sides are bad for Skyrim. Which is nothing new, having a game set in your province of Tamriel ha been terrible for you in all TES games except Daggerfall. In Daggerfall the warp in the west led to a peace in High Rock. But in Morrowind, they get the red year and the Argonian invasion. In Oblivion, Cyrodiil loses power, most of the provinces become independent, and they get punched by the Thalmor. I fully expect TES6 to tell us that since TES5, things have gone really badly in Skyrim.

Skooma is outlawed you filthy skooma addict! :P

Make some khajiit friends. They'll hook you up.

Well we know they have to import all their wood, since the green pact prevents them from chopping trees in valenwood. So everything has to be imported. I think that is the biggest factor in valenwood trade

@Rick K Good observation, from the top of my head a lot of them are on a strict meat diet. But I can imagine food being a big part of the import too! Nice catch!

Imperial Knowledge Idk if u concider eso cannon enough to get a broader sense of eco omics or trade but I was digging around in malabal tor and greenshade and found out that treeminders and treethanes are the ones who oversee settlement trade and money , I also know that altmer settlements have envoys from auridon that come in and the high elven "kinladys" act as a sort of chancelors of trade between the bosmer settlements and their respective treethanes, Its like if in skyrim, appointed Thanes of a hold were in charge of domestic trade between other holds I'm not sure how it works with other provinces. But it seems like the different regions of valenwood has similar but different hierarchy of trade. Most of the merchants and traders I see in valenwood are nonelven and reside in altmer towns, complaining how hard it is to make money because bosmer would rather trade with meats and hides than with gold which they don't really use a lot or have in abundance of. Also, the altmer have been trying to install their own currency, a glass slate that is like identification of money earned. That's not going so well for them. In the towns like elden root and falenesti, speakers hired by spinners would patrol and inspect houses and camps of any non meat mandated materials. The higher your political and social status , the less lenient these things are. If you are found to have broken the pact, it is charged that your family must be responsible for your execution and .. ... Disposal... This is just what I've learned today running around talking to certain people

@Rick K People in Valenwood exclusively eat meat, as shown in the book series "a dance in fire" I believe it's called (it's good, give it a try, it's the source of basically 100% of bosmer lore), even foreigners eat basically only meat to avoid insulting the bosmer, though they tend to import foreign meat stuff.

As for bosmer trade in general, they mostly barter. They use imperial coins, but they don't really understand their value. Bosmer from Valenwood are very easy to scam, they don't understand the value of things not made in Valenwood and tend to overestimate the value of wooden items, as well as completely misunderstand what they are for to begin with. Most bosmer live very tribally and don't have a real economy, they produce or exchange things they need, and they'e famously very lazy at doing that to begin with.

Not on the map for some reason, that is for sure
