I thought it was the fungus there. Could be that the Flamer rub fungus on it to turn it green, knowing the fungus just by smell and touch. As a dye and because of the smell is familiar to them. It’s probably just a bug.

Makes sense

They did rely on sounds and tones. Maybe they were losing their sight?

Perhaps it was made by a Falmer slave who was in the process of going blind .

That's actually highly unlikely. As the players we have a very top down, limited perspective of the world and it's lore. Considering most of what we know fairly well to be true is speculation and conjecture among the people in universe, and we have little to no practical information about the world on a micro social scale, we would probably just seem batshit insane.

I think that's part of why Morrowind is many people's favorite. That game is really carrying the rest of the games in terms of lore building. Not that Oblivion and Skyrim don't build on stuff and have cool lore, but Morrowind pretty much established all of things people theorize on.

Yes only the blinding was purposely done. The rest is just history, history only the Falmer know and the Falmer, well by now they just shriek allot.

Yeah they didnt use a fungus they used tonal magic

Yea, the decline was natural. It wasn't magic but devolution

@@achmadtitofauzan3809 Someone explored the idea that blind slaves is a dumb idea. However, the way the dwemer conduct themselves in regards to the enslavement of the falmer makes it seem like they needed them nevertheless. Also that degeneration is extreme, too extreme. Yargrum the last dwemer had less degeneration even with corprus disease. So the most likely explanation is that the diet was aiding something else, being the main reason for their degradation, tonal architecture. The falmer being test subjects

@@muhammadedwards8425 i also suspect the falmers were a subject of experiments too, dwemers may use the tonal architecture and yes that magic is a completely different kind of magic because it altered the world by sound. But still, i believe the main reason of their decline was thousand of years underground, poisoned by the fungus and experimented with the tonal architecture, made their body to degenerate naturally adapting to the new environments (you can say the fungus and tonal architecture magic boosted the declining progress). The first time dagoth released that ash disease was in the second era, meanwhile the falmers were poisoned and conducted as test subject in the merethic era thus having more time for their body to degenerate even more. As for yagrum i don't know in which era he contracted the corprus when he visited vvardenfell, but was cured and taken care of by a dark elf wizard, divayth fyr, so his fate is not as misserable as the falmers

There is an elder scrolls loremaster, not sure if hes employed by bethesda or what, but it does exist!

Is that not what they are doing now? I mean the videos are like a library for us they do make revenue from KZfaq.

Then I'd finally have found my calling. I love collecting all the lore I can, be it the lore of the Elder scrolls, which I haven't even scratched the surface of, Kirby lore, which is where I started out, or the lore of Hollow Knight, which is my specialty.

You guys should check out the fudgemuppet podcast, they literally just talk about lore for an hour

Imagine if aliens came to our world and elder scrolls lore was all that was left of our society.

First dungeon I ever attempted in Skyrim. It didn’t end well.. I think it’s one of the very few ‘one way’ dungeons in the game so once you’re in, you’re in.

It was source of my death when I attemted a hardcore playthrough. I've been avoiding that cave since then. Chaurus hunters are nightmare fuel.

I have a very similar story. It’s still one of the worst dungeons in the game to me. Not because it’s bad level design, just from that past experience.

Had a similar experience w bloodlet throne. Dont remember how i cleared it esrly on, but i was confused af when i got vampirism & everyone stsrted attacking me (before dawnguard was even announced)

i have to admit my first "dungeon" was Blackreach and i only wound up there because i knew about the "using a wooden plate to clip through walls" hack, seen a big gate and thought.. "ooo whats in there?!"... Safe to say, ive never put plate to gate so fast when trying to escape my own curiousity and the many creatures that were there to greet me, if only i knew there was a lever to open the gate i came through right next to it and in my panic didnt see it so spent 10-15 minutes running into the gate 😂

I have been wondering why there are no dwemer ghosts in Skyrim unlike in Morrowind.

@Samuel Bishop No telling. I imagine the writers/devs will keep them ambigious. I think I read that we are going to hammerfell so the dwemer mystery will once again take the back seat. The last dwarve, the fat spiderman in morrowind, has the hammer which defined the name of hammerfell (someone threw the hammer in the air and wherever it landed they would settle.) So maybe we will see sooooomething but I wouldn't hold my breath on getting an answer if I were you. We can almost gaurantee elf and god shit though, because skyrim had it seeded throughout the entire plot and many subplots and dialogue.

The eye of the falmer where created after there blindness i think. They wished there eyes back so they put special attention to them in hope some god would appreciate it and give them there eyes back.

I agree about the Ayleids but it was both the tenacity and complete cruelty of humans with the Snow Elves.

Not tenacity really but merely outbreeding elves coupled with their Thuum which is practically a cheat skill. Do you really believe 500 metal wielding brutes managed to wipe out a race during their lifetime just because of tenacity? Nah. Human ships arrived by the hundreds. And with them, thousands of raging vikings with dragon powers. The figure "500" was merely there to exaggerate the legend.

@@chrisdominguez5097 I personally think the "500" meant the number of _ships_ that sailed there. Either way, regardless of if you wanna whine about the Thu'um being "cheating", they still dunked on the Elves.

@@DarthSidian Which I never argued against. But this idea that Nords just happened to be this kind of humans that eliminated a race by being tenacious is by all means wrong. It paints the wrong idea that if Nords try NOW they'd be able to do it again... And that's not gonna happen. Not without a Dragonborn to support them and not without magic which they shun. A single fireball will kill them by the dozen. They're just normal humans after all who are used to cold weather.

Well, we can't say that for sure. Aylieds sure, but even the Nedes had 2 Demigods, as well as Nords and other Aylieds helping them. The last Aylieds in Cyrodiil were betrayed and slaughtered by their old allied humans. As for the Snow Elves, we don't have the specifics of the Night of Tears, nor do we know why it happened, or if the Snow Elves actually killed everyone or took any prisoners or slaves. Ysgramor never saw how the fight started, and wasn't in Saarthal when it was Sacked. Not only that, but they had the Thu'um and Dragons with them as well. It wasn't just 500 Nords that wiped out the Snow Elves, just saying. Ans you can't judge a whole race on a single event that you don't have the full story of.

"..as your vision clouds, as the darkness sets in, fear not. Know only our mercy and the radiance of our affection, which unbinds your bones to the earth before, and sets your final path to the music of your new eternity."

Maybe that's what the green banner's about: color coding designating Falmer stuff. Not so much for THEIR benefit, they're blind, but so their Dwemer handlers could keep track of it better. Hence why they wear the green tatters as well, it's the stuff they had access to from their old holding areas

@@insaincaldo Given the torture chambers, I'd say the Dwemer meant you're gonna go insane and feral, but you won't be wiped out and now your eternity will be spent in this new world underground. They didn't have a general concept of "mercy" it seems

@@eid8fkebe7f27ejdjdjduyhsvqhwu2 Logic and sound. They know they're being attacked already, whether from a previous arrow that missed or at least didn't kill them (or maybe they heard it kill an ally), or from a sword (or axe or mace/maul) swing that stung already. If they have already been attacked once, its unlikely the bow they hear being prepared is aimed at someone else instead. After all, with a ranged weapon, why not finish off one enemy before moving onto the next? Close range is different, attack the closest enemy, but a normal person wouldn't use a bow close range. So logically speaking, its most likely aimed at them. As such, its much safer to block and end up with the arrow hitting your ally while you miss a chance at an attack, than it is to try rushing in and attacking and hoping it isn't aimed at you. That and, as someone else already said, its a video game. Its very hard to program AI that are competent enough to fight, let alone be a threat, while making them fully blind and have no way of knowing they should block your arrow. I mean, they could go with the ideas mentioned above, but with the limits of AI, you'd end up with enemies that are almost constantly blocking instead of attacking in a game where you could, in theory, aim for a spot the shield can't cover, hit them in the foot, and still kill them, or have them never block and have them so easy to pick off that they're less threatening than wolves. So skip logic a bit for game purposes, then have a bit of lore explain how, in theory, they are managing, even if game AI doesn't perfectly fit that. Or are you going to complain about the logic of a lone bandit wearing leather thinking he can take out a traveler in full plate armour and still not fleeing even after being shown they have no chance of winning, or of any animal that should have survival instincts continuing to attack "potential prey" that has just killed 4 others, instead of running away and surviving instead?

That's agnostic

I believe there is a hint as to why the Empire was having such troubles and not getting backup, a hint that is the main support for why the canon timeline will have the Empire win the war. I can't remember where, but there's a mountain pass or something that would normally lead out of Skyrim, but it has been blocked off by a rockslide. There's even a note nearby that you can find, a letter stating the Empire is trying to send backup, but because of the rockslide, the backup will be delayed while they clear it out. Once they clear out the rockslide, the full power of the Empire would be available to fight off the rebellion. I would have to double check full maps myself, but I believe this passage also slows, if not fully halts, any real passage from High Rock as well. Given the mountains, it wouldn't be easy to march an army into Skyrim from just anywhere. So while the rest of the Empire could potentially send small groups to help, a large enough group to really make a difference is blocked off I suppose they could try by sea, given that's how the Emperor got there, but that doesn't seem ideal either.
