Please in ES6 let there be an old dark brotherhood assassin named aventus

Jesus Nate, no need to scare us like that, calm down

Know whats always bothered me? Ever notice all those green and red apples in skyrim? Well, where the hell did they come from? I've not seen a SINGLE APPLE TREE in Skyrim! Not one!

What's interesting about the first theory, and lends a bit of credence to it is that starting off in the orphanage are 4 children. This number will go up to 5 whenever Aventus eventually returns and providing you don't murder and children's parents (or they're not killed by dragons or vampires) the number of children at the orphanage will remain at 5. Now 5 is a very special number in the dark brotherhood. The night mother originally begat 5 children by the dread father Sithis whom she later sacrificed to him. The Back Hand, made up of 4 speakers and a listener is the ruling body of the Dark Brotherhood and each member of the Black Hand is said to have their own personal hand picked assassin for special tasks called a silencer. Finally, there are exactly 5 tenets of the code of the Dark Brotherhood. 5 sacrificed children of the dread father, 5 members of the ruling body of the Brotherhood, 5 hand-picked silencers and 5 tenets with 5 children at Honorhall Orphanage.

That first one would make a good fanfic. I could see Babette befriending the orphans and protecting them as they train to become assassins.

*Its not like they have families* or jobs to worry about. Damn thats cold

If the Dark Brotherhood is rebuilt with the children of Skyrim, the odds are good that the next Listener will be Nelkir, the illegitimate child of Jarl Balgruuf. Think of it: he could hear the Whispering Lady behind that door in Dragonsreach where the Ebony Blade is kept. If you accept the idea the Night Mother is an aspect of Mephala, then Nelkir has heard the voice of The Night Mother.

Whispers *murdered to death*

Nate: “The organization of assassins is down to no more than 4 members.” Dark Brotherhood Initiates: “Are we a joke to you?”

Sheogorath in a spooky stories video? That's just a regular story video for him

The scariest thing Nate can do in the next spooky video is not ask us "how's it going"

I imagine in ES6 there will be dude somewhere named Nate that has almost every book in a huge library named “Books you may not have read”

I just imagine someone talking about how horrid the Dark Brotherhood is, and how terrifying they are, so someone goes to join them, only to find an order of murderous children. 😆

1: Nazeem is actually the strongest character in Skyrim and all of the ES games. Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don’t.

#1: The dragon born is not as fierce as a mud crab

Maybe instead of Sheogorath it’s Meridia due to her rivalry with the undead

Reyda was actually a victim of circumstances, according to Narfi Narf Narf and Wilhelm, Reyda used to pick up flowers and herbs, possibly to treat Narfi's condition, seems like she also didn't live with him but used to visit frequently. At the time of Reyda's disappearance, Windelius arrived at the crypt and started falling into his own madness, constantly spooking the guards whose barracks are literally in front of the barrow. It is possible that Reyda may or may not have a nirnroot in her possession (one growing near Vilemyr Inn) causing a guard or guards to become startled and in consequence, starting to fire arrows at her (hence why there are arrows always around the site where her body lies). Due to the proximity of her corpse to the bridge, it is possible that Reyda was in fact walking by it at that moment, and either by the guards accounting for their mistake or in her confusion and pain falling to the water, Reyda died of drowning before succumbing to her wounds, what few people knew about the incident decided to keep shut about it

"The guild will survive in Elder Scrolls: 5" The guild will be fixed in Elder Scrolls: 6

#6: the dragonborn is actually a mortal and everyone is just paranoid

Here's a theory: if you noticed, skyrim has very few non-alcoholic beverages. So what if there isn't actually any dragons and everyone is just drunk out of their minds?

4:21 Girl that riekling has got some moves.

If i remember well sybille refers to the vampires of Pinemoon as "uncivilized". She says something like that after you clear the cave as she asked. Could be wrong tho.

Considering the Reiklings, in ESO we meet goblins in northern Skyrim who are smaller and more pale than their green counter parts so it is believed that the Reiklings are a goblin specie which evolved to the Skyrim climate

I like to think I'm raising my children to be fine assassins. Traveling from one home to another, learning to fight with actual weaponry. The one I adopted from the orphanage has even lately started gifting me with daggers and deathbells. I'm so proud of them.

As Listener, I'll recruit Aventus when he comes of age.

I actually have an interesting theory of my own So, in Skyrim you have a few weapons that do extra damage to certain species, Horksbane does more damage to Horkers, Trollsbane does more damage to Trolls, Dragonsbane... I think you know what I'm about to say, but where did this weapons get these powers? Well, in the journal of the man who weilds Horksbane, you get the explicit line of "It brought a fire to my chest, a hate to my gut that I can almost feel coursing into my mace in my hand." My theory now is, that these weapons power actually comes from the pure determination, desires and rage of the ones who wielded them. Wuuthrads power came from Ysgramor, Horksbanes power came from Sadir, Trollsbanes power came from Frofnir Trollsbane and Dragonsbanes power came from an ancient Blades Memeber that used it.

Sybille has really glowing red vampire eyes (like all vampires) in my game so it was pretty obvious she was a vampire. The weird thing was, she gave me a quest to kill some vampires, but she talked about the vampires as if she hates others of her own kind. It sounded more like something I'd expect a member of the Dawnguard to say. And it was different to just not liking those particular vampires - she insulted vampires as a race.

It was said that Harkon One Eye and other Nord heroes requested help from Miraak in their revolution, but Miraak refused them and challenged the dragons by himself, and ofc, failed

I have a quick thing you might not have known, The Draugr actually use a different shout than Fus Ro Dah as they use Fus Do Rah which translates to Force of God

Hey Nate, idk if this has been covered already for Fallout 4 ten tiny details but i’ll jz suggest it anyway -In the quest where you take Billy home, when you do take him home, the raider Bullet (the one that tries to buy Billy from you) will approach the house with a group of other raiders. If you pass the speech check where you lied that they’re *not* here and they just leave, it unlocks a random encounter where you can randomly encounter Bullet during your other journeys in the Commonwealth -(Idk if this is a random encounter) There is a unique Brahmin named “Idiot” that you can meet throughout the map. I encountered it at the National Guard Training Facility, but I’m still doubtful if its a random encounter or if its part of that location

I found a rather dark little implication in Riften's Temple of Mara. Inside one of the bedrooms is a letter from that one Argonian in Riften who wants you to get him 3 flawless amethysts so he can propose to his girlfriend. In it he's asking if the temple would be willing to learn and perform the rather complicated argonian wedding ceremony, he even offers to provide a book on the subject. Next to that letter is the book detailing how to contact the Dark Brotherhood.

If you meet Aventus after completing his mission he will sometimes say something along the lines of "when I grow up I'm gonna become an assassin too, so I can help lots of children, like you did"

I wouldn't be surprised if the Arkay guy was being talked to by Meridith or however you spell her name, the Daedric Prince who hates Undead and is only pretending to be Arkay to help the Dawnguard kill vampires. Also, Dawnguard - Dawnbringer? I know it's a coincidence, but the two things do share a purpose in defeating undead.

Dark Brotherhood Initiate: am I a joke to you?

near uttering hills cave, there's a frost troll lair, containing a dead wolf, a skeleton, fur gauntlets and a stormcloak helmet. maybe he/she was taking a toilet break and got eaten by a troll, and the wolf was his pet who died defending his /her master.

I think it's more likely the snow elves on solstheim were wiped out by the nords during the battle of Moesring. Also florentius could also be an agent of meridia instead of sheogorath as she hates undead and has been in direct conflict with molag bal before. and since the dawnguard, being offshoots of the vigilants of stendarr hate daedra he is being deceptive not insane for his protection.

The tale that Solstheim physically split from Skyrim due to Vahlok and Miraak battling one another is almost certainly a myth, and much more likely a metaphor for the divergence of the two cultures following Miraaks fall, with the mainland Nords becoming, well, Nords; while the Nords of Solstheim become the Skaal.

That detect dead spell didn’t work on my wife Ysolda after I was tasked into making her a vampire, and later I was a werewolf she didn’t care like the rest of the castle: “Have Serana change you back!” I wonder where Babette went during destroy the dark brotherhood. Was she out on a contract? She could’ve been a little girl that “needed saving” when you destroy the stronghold, “I’m just a prisoner here.” Perhaps later assassin notes would be signed by Babette instead of Astrid (notice you can’t even bring up that Assassin’s Note signed by Astrid when you join, I was attacked by three of them before murdering to death that “kind old lady”). You can help Cicero get his wagon fix after you destroy the dark brotherhood. Perhaps Babette will show up in the next game. Not sure when and where it’s set. If it’s centuries later, that means nothing to a vampire. If it’s elsewhere (could even be Elsweyr 🤣), she can ask the new protagonist: “have you ever been to Skyrim?”

A questline about multiple vampire factions waging a secret war would be amazing!

Ok now if TES6's Dark Brotherhood questline isn't medieval Oliver Twist with extra murder, I will be very disappointed.

Obligatory comment to help the channel

BY THE NINE DIVINES! Don't scare me like that Nate!

Sybile asks the Dragonborn to clear out the cave so she's certainly not concerned with protecting her kind. She just doesn't want attention drawn to it.

Hey Nate. You forgot about the initiate. After the quest line you always get a initiate.

9:16 i believe him he did kill 30 vampires with his bare hands after all

The Dark Brotherhood one is something I adamantly believe in, tbh. I believe wholeheartedly that Adventus will grow up to be a brother, even if none of those other orphans do.

You my friend, are a big reason that the game is still so popular and , growing in depth of mods, and game play ,3200 hours of playing this this game and still injoying it

#1 that's why I downloaded the "save the dark brotherhood" mod

Good I needed my Skyrim fix.

Day 69 of asking nate to make a video about trees

'boo.yeah this is another of those spooky intros' -TheEpicNate315,2019

To the question of why the dragon priests became tyranical: too much power can often corrupt people. They simply started enjoying all the power they had a little too much and started stretching what they could do and exerting more control and power than they should and they enjoyed it.

I hope that in TES VI we would meet Dark Brotherhood and assassins named like these kids.

'angry smurfs' XD i almost choked on a Doritos

Rieklings could be the result of Insular Dwarfism which happens to an isolated population that find themselves suddenly in a limited environment with fewer resources like an island. I think I once read somewhere that people were speculating that Rieklings were snow elves that revolted against the Dwemer after awhile. However they had consumed the fungus but not enough of it to lose their eyesight yet tho it effected their minds causing them to degrade in intelligent a bit.

Aventus quite literally has lines saying "When I grow up, I want to be an assassin!" which I discovered recently when he randomly showed up at the orphanage.

ever hear the theory that the atronach forge beneath the college of winterhold was built by the dwarves? supported by the fact that the offerings box has the same appearance as the doors in dwarven ruins.

I enjoy all your research and theories about Skyrim. Thanks Nate!

I thought the theory for Florentius was going to be that he was in contact with Meridia, as she would have similar light based abilities, and also have a reason for wanting the dead gone.

Nate, I absolutely love your content. You keep my love for Skyrim alive and you definitely deserve more views and subscribers. Keep being awesome!

Arkay:”He just listens, gets me, y’know?”

I’ve been spooked Nate

Another thing that could have happened with the Dragon Priests: With the ambition for power that all the dragons have internally (as mentioned by Paarthurnax), perhaps the Dragon Priest masks were created by the Dragons, having some of their power, and, unbeknownst to anyone, they actually had some of this ambition in it also, growing and growing over time, until their lust for power led them to atrocities.

NGL, I've been watching these videos to sleep in for about two weeks now and it's still about the best thing ever. So, thanks for that.

Me: Relaxing and completely vulnerable. Nate: Boo Me:Hshwjrjjeisbdsjsj

I'm pretty sure Florentius is an Easter Egg nod to the mad Irishman from Braveheart. One of his comments about Arkay not being sure about you is suspiciously close to a line used in the movie.

All of your Skyrim videos have become my primary resource for my Skyrim story.

Maybe the Rieklings are hybrid dwarf/falmers like the Bretons are Hybrid Altmer/humans?

Sybille stentor could be part of the volkinhar clan. If you join them, they sometimes give you missions to turn a person into a vampire of high importance. They also give you a mission to clear out unblooded vampires. Much like stentor when she asks you to clear out a vampire nest.

A good mod for expanding the dark brotherhood is, the brotherhood of old, it feels more realistic than leaving just three assassins

I like to think that the goblins evolved from the Falmer who left Skyrim for Cyrodiil and/or Solstheim, becoming an entirely different species, and that the Reiklings are a variant of goblin that's not exactly a separate species from goblins, just more adapted to the cold and possessing more intelligence. Goblins in Cyrodiil demonstrate greater intelligence than Falmer, and Reiklings likewise demonstrate greater intelligence than regular Goblins. The key would be that goblins and Reiklings would have gotten away from the poison that the Dwemer fed the Falmer, while the Falmer continue to consume it and thus have their eyesight suppressed to the point where they still have no eyes, and their progress with intellectual evolution stunted.

the vampire group reminds me of the count of skingrad. a peaceful ruler that minds his own.

I have a theory that every goblonoid creature is derived from one of the Mer races. Falmer (Snow) - Duh confirmed Goblins (Orcs) Reiklings (Dunmer)

Yeah just what I want hroar as one of my dark brotherhood assassins. I think I'll just buy/free criminals, the guild could use a khajitt or two.

Fifteen minutes of pure glory... you're spoiling us, Nate.

I love your humor nate. Like "those angry smurfs" lmfao

These videos are getting better even though you are losing ideas (possibly). Great job!

Can anyone identify Nate's ENB and major graphics mods? Or did he maybe make a video on it?

I remember one time when I was exploring a riekling cave, I discovered a riekling hut filled with stamina potions, rags, and a copy of the lusty argonian maid. Had a good laugh at that one😂

thank god, i have had the worst day in a long time, and i’ve been binging the whole skyrim series for the last three days and just ran out of content. woke up to a video from my FAVOURITE skyrim series 💕💕💕

LET THIS SERIES NEVER END!

I swear there is more theories and conspiracies in Skyrim than there will ever be about world war 2

You are amazing man. You can still make content out of an old but a great game like this.Keep it up !

I actually really like that theory that it could be Sheogorath who is pretending to be Arkay and giving real information to the priest. He's nuts, but it's a useful nuts, and we've all but been told that Sheogorath is the Champion of Cyrodiil. So maybe he's still helping out and protecting people, just in his own unique and crazy way.

This is better education than school

My Grandfather was watching the intro and he died of a heart attack!!!! I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF NATE!!

Something that I just found out today... During the first Thieves Guild mission where you're to collect gold from the three shopkeepers, Bersi and Haelga (if your relationship is high enough) will respond to your character as "Darling" and gladly give you the gold instead of the more negative routes you can normally take. As for Stentor being part of that Vampiric order... Makes sense... As does Count Hassildor of Skingrad in Oblivion.

Solstheim might have been too cold for the falmer though. Ya never know. Might be something to think about

That priest talks about being able to talk to arkay like vegans talk about being vegan

Ah back to the MURDER TO DEATH thing

Also with Sybille, she tries to deter any forces investigating Wolf Skull cave (where vampires are trying to bring back Potema) AND once you finally destroy Potema's spirit that is when Sybille goes to her room and never leaves, constantly sleeps unless you wake her up

I was home alone and I left my Bluetooth speaker on by accident and went down stairs, so when I started this video and you saying boo at max volume made me need a new pair of pants.

Someday... The Elder Scrolls VI is a big game

Is the Skyrim chapter of the Dark brotherhood the only surviving assassins? I know they are likely the last active chapter but chances are there are still some assassins out there

I find the fact that Sybil is actually a vampire to be particularly interesting. I had some suspicion to this fact for a while now, as she is always asleep when I try to speak to her.

I'd never thought about why Sybille is usually asleep when I go to her to do business in the Blue Palace. This explains SO much! On the up side, at least she isn't certifiably insane like Harkon. And she's a more generous merchant than some in the magickal market.

Who else gets spooked every time they see a skeleton in a cave?

These intros are the most evil thing in your videos.

My favourite vid of yours. Good job

Keep up the great work. I believe I've watched all of your videos.
