I'm starting to think Nate is actually Hermaeus Mora himself... I'm a little scared but very intrigued

M'aiq was in falkreath once. M'aiq met a weird talking dog m'aiq was freaked out and ran to the closest skooma den

Just imagine being a historian in Skyrim and having to list every major event that happened in 4E 201. *Every. Single. Event.*

Falkreath: Has a small cemetery and not the biggest in Skyrim. Me playing unmodded Skyrim: Fine, I'll do it myself.

Welcome to Falkreath traveler, safest city in Falkreath

Another fact: The Bloodlet Throne is one of the few dungeons to receive an update when Dawnguard originally released -- adding Gargoyle enemies to the castle interior.

I remember coming here once when a dragon attacked. As it landed in the middle of town, I drew my weapons ready to fight it. Before I could, everyone (and I mean everyone) in Falkreath rushed it and completely surrounded it. I couldn't even find a spot to start hitting. It was dead before I could touch it. Falkreath: You picked the wrong town fool!

Falkreath.. Not as beautiful as the Cloud District but pretty nonetheless..

Whenever I play with my own RP (it's my mercenary character, no fast travel, no waiting, sleep only at inns, actually doing mercenary work so only quests for money, eat at meal times, no potions, etc) and play as a mercenary wandering about looking for work falkreath is my unnoficial base, it's one of the best holds for this.

The Volkihar vampires DO make use of frost magic. Their death hounds make almost exclusive use of it, and so do the vampires. They just use their vampire-specific powers more often.

Nate: There's nothing in the city or hold of "narrative significance". Helgen: What am I, chopped liver?

I am waiting for ‘5 things you, probably, didn’t know about Horses’ Edit: Sorry, Forgot to add, ‘in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

A point for Number 2: Remember when you first come to falkreath and pass the hall of the dead? What’s Runil doing? He’s holding a service for a couple who lost their child. In fact, if you pay attention, you do come in on his left much like he describes in the dream. So while the death isn’t “plot relevant” it is an allusion as you when the player first meets the priest. Rather interesting how we see a lot of people with prophetic dreams in Skyrim...

I'm so glad that Skyrim still has a cult following. Such an iconic game that will never be forgotten by us true fans.

Falkreath is actually my favourite hold. I think that its forest and lake Illinalta is the most beautiful natural parts of Skyrim. On the other hand the city is not that great but I installed a mod to make it better and especially with a bigger cemetery.

11:24, Preston Garvey: "Hidden settlements? Not on my watch. Here, I'll mark it on your map."

Falkreath is actually my favorite town. It's the first town I went to because I didn't follow Hadvar and I was instantly in love with its lush and beautiful scenery. I know that it actually looks pretty basic for a seasoned veteran, but to me, who was a rookie at the time looking at Skyrim through a fresh pair of eyes, it looked like paradise. I even built my house there. The lore of the place is pretty rich too, and I wish Bethesda could have done more with it.

I would like to see someone overlap every single intro from you that would be amazing

"I don't know what's wrong with his face either" I'm dead 😂😂

Forgot to mention Falkreath is one of few holds that has no Dwemer ruins, the others being Haafingar (Solitude) and Hjaalmarch (Morthal); why is that?

The people killed everyone in that graveyard. Im telling yah

Falkreath has such a nice atmosphere when it rains, the woods of that hold is one of my favorite areas.

My favorite Hold in the game. Why does that Mod make an Altmer look like leather???

Always wished they'd made Falkreath's "palace" a little more like a Imperial fort with maybe a statue of the first Third Era Emperor outside it.

Well, when the player and Serana walk around Castle Volkihar during a quest to find the back entrance, Serana explains that the previous owners used to receive supplies through there. So, the castle wasn't always Harkon's place, meaning his family and clan could easily have come from Bloodlet Throne in Falkreath. Also, as far as I recall, if you play the basegame without Dawnguard and Dragonborn installed, the stronger vampires in Bloodlet Throne are in fact named Volkihar vampires. So, there you have it. Harkon's old hangout :)

Between Runil and Florentius, Arkay sure comes off way more communicative than the other Aedra.

I have a suggestion for tiny details, which I just discovered. In Whiterun in the Drunken Huntsman you can sell Elrindir your food, weapons and clothes, but you can actually also sell him potions. Well, I say potions. When you go to the potion slot and you happen to carry skooma with you, you can sell him potions, but only your skooma. Everything else won't be shown there, except the moonsuggary drug. He seems to be a Mer with a little dirty secret 😏. I thought this might be interesting :)

Hey Nate! How you handling the quarantine? Stay safe!

“Falkreath is a minor city in Skyrim.” Barbas and the Dark Brotherhood: *are we a joke to you*

If anyone here is interested in this region there is an in depth video by camel works called curating curious curiosities falkreath

Why do people in skyrim always go into caves and dungeons to loose things.? 🤔

I hate Falkreath for one reason... That damn dog I have to find EVERY play through...

let's be honest Falkreath and several the other minor holds are very underwhelming without mods.

When you're so early all the comments are about being early. ...

Hey Nate, I really love your content. Whenever I feel frustrated playing Skyrim and want to stop playing, I watch your videos and feel interested all over again. Your videos are entertaining and fun. It's really helping me get through this corona virus lock down time by keeping me entertained and engaged. So big thanks to you and keep up the good work!

He's not the only one with special dreams, the girl in the town outside of whiterun in rorikstead named I think Sissl or something she has them too.

This man forgets Helgen is in falkreath hold, one of the most important parts of the game smh nate smh

Falkreath is one of those small towns that I find to be the most relaxing, with Riverwood being a hard second. Its nested in a wooded area, with a small stream running nearby, lots of trees, etc. Sure it aint the safest, but damn is it scenic

0:45 I love how there's just a random Khajit at a certain point in every video

Actually, I would say that the stranger mentioned in the journal is *definitely* the Dragonborn. Typically the first time you meet him (at least, this is how it's always gone for me) is when Thadgeir asks you to deliver Berit's ashes to Runil, and when you find him he's conducting the funeral that starts Ill Met by Moonlight. It also bears some similarity to Kodlak's dream, wherein he also sees the Dragonborn in a dream shortly before actually meeting them.

Honestly I really hope in Elder Scrolls 6 they make the cities actual cities not a collection of 5 buildings, and 4 people. The lack of actual cities bugged me even in 2011.

Just so you know for future videos. The 3rd Empire ended after Martin’s sacrifice & the assassination of the Potentate. The Empire in Skyrim is the 4th Cyrodillic Empire, ruled by the Mede Dynasty.

I fell in love with Falkreath very early on in my first ever experience with Skyrim. I'd never played an open-world game like Skyrim before, and when I finished the tutorial and was cast out to fend for myself, I had no idea what I was doing…nor did I notice the compass at the top of the screen. As such, I quickly got lost, and eventually wound up in Falkreath. There, people talked about how the sun shines so rarely in the town - and as someone who HATES sunlight IRL (it just feels unpleasant on my skin, I know I'm a freak but it's just how I am), I liked the place immediately. I then tried to leave Falkreath proper, still not noticing the compass, and somehow ended up doubling back to it at least three times. At one point during that doubling-back, I ran into my ultimate Skyrim husbando, Talsgar the Wanderer - if my username doesn't indicate enough why I was immediately drawn to the character (it's been my username since before I tried Skyrim), I also love music, and of course, the wanderer is a bard. For these reasons, Falkreath is permanently my favorite part of Skyrim. I went SO far out of my way to become a thane in Falkreath so I could live there, and when the vanilla game didn't let me get a house in the hold, I was devastated. Luckily, I'd gotten the ultimate edition with the DLC included, and after some digging, I discovered this and was over the moon, immediately installing the DLCs and happily setting to building an estate for myself by the lake. To this day, no matter what properties I may accrue in Skyrim, Lakeview Manor in Falkreath will always and forever be my only true home in the nation. Funny that it's where the Dark Brotherhood are housed…for my good guy playthrough, I was heartbroken that my home was also home to such monsters, and glad to rid the place of them; and for my asshole playthrough, it's nice that my favorite guild is also stationed in the place I call home. XD

Also, with the largest graveyard in Skyrim, people are just dying to get in there.

Yay! This is the one I was waiting for! I like Falkreath, it kinda felt like a getaway place where I could go to get away from all the dragonborn responsibilitys and civil war fights.

Last time I was this early, I started my first playthrough

The only thing I remember about Falkreath are the graves...

Seriously, with Visual and lighting mods, Falkreth is fricking BEAUTIFUL and I love shopping, smithing, questing and everything else in that hold.

Nate: five things you didnt know about the dragon borns big toe. Us: .... ( cracks knuckles and neck) lets do this..

I had a look at cracked tusk keep in the creation kit and it turns out it's also called Gularz Khazgur Keep

I’ve been playing Skyrim for about five or six years now, and I’ve got the game on four different consoles. PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Switch. I enjoy every second I spend in the game and all of the extra information I’ve got from these videos makes it even more fun than I thought possible.

Anyone know the name of that tune that Nate used to use as an outro in his videos? PS. I miss those outros. Allways makes me smile when I am listening to the classics

Hey nate i love your videos and this past year or so of watching you have made me really happy 😊

So I got Oblivion the other day and played it for the first time.... I thought Skyrim had bad/hilarious voice acting and NPC interactions

Remember what Runil says about performing services before being approached by someone that can roar. It's literally what you do if you pick up the ashes from Thadgeir usually cutting wood at the entrance of Falkreath. He says Runil needs to perform some last rights for Berit's soul. Then you saunter over to Runil who is - if you are meeting him for the first time - giving a sermon to Mathies and his wife, which I presume is for their daughter that was killed by Sinding. So he is actively involved in two services when you approach hiim. I presume this is what he is experiencing in the dream.

Runil's journal was one of the only journals I ever read because I was so curious at what a simple priest would write in a journal

Would point out that Serana, while not using frost breath, does really love her ice spells and casts them with incredible efficiency. :)

There's evidences pointing to Harkon's family becoming vampires as early as the Merethic Era or the early 1st Era, before any human Empire existed. Serana specifically questions "what Empire" when you awaken her. They are quite likely older than the Bloodlet Throne and unlikely to be related to the Jarl of Falkreath.

I really love how you did this video, especially with the tale of Tiber Septim and Falkreath. It was cool to see the Imperial City and interpretations of the characters!

Bilegulch mine is a former orc stronghold I think. As it the other one I think. Everytime I've gone there it's only been orc mercenaries or orc bandits. The architecture is so similar to the strongholds it's hard to deny.

Nate can I have a heart so I can smile knowing one day you will acknowledge me

Just realized how Nate gonna be all over Elder Scrolls 6

There's I'd like to share that could reveal more about the Volkihars. In Volkihar ruins in one room on a tall shelf I found a silver sword. I checked around the ruins for more, but this is the only silver sword in the entire castle. No vampire would use this weapon, it specifically made for fighting undead. I believe it's possible the clan had some conflict with the Silver Hand(or a similar group), in which this single sword was taken as a trophy by one of the vampires.

Fantastical detailed history of our game. Still good today! Simply the best, Nate. Love from England.

I just want to know what the story is with that ship sunk under Lake Ilinalta.

Hey Nate! Do you know what those light orbs that follows you are in Yngol Barrow? I went into Yngol Barrow for a mission yesterday but I was left fascinated with those following light orbs.

The best thing about COVID-19 is Nate uploading lots of Skyrim videos - and having the time to watch them!

I absolutely love all your skyrim videos!!! I just recently started watching and I absolutely love them. Skyrim is my favorite game and I love learning new things! So by watching your videos I am learning more about my favorite game! Thank you for all your content!!!!

Notification gang... shoutout my Skyrim people

watches the video for a second time: yes, yes i did know that 😎

Bro i love ur videos the way u describe things and how you go with the flow lol great vid man

Probably the best skyrim youtuber ever !!! Love you Nate keep up the good work

vampires do use ice magic. the death hounds also use it in their bites also for games, i know it's not fallout or elder scrolls.. but dragon age ^.^ it's also a good series.

I believe Harkon may have some connection to the Blades. His sword is a Blades sword with a unique guard. Could just be a lazy design, but this channel has taught me to not ignore coincidences.

The Dark Brotherhood questline is mostly based in Falkreath, as well as a Silver Hand questline, so it does have some action.

I always love your videos Nate, please keep on keeping on🔥🔥

"If you're headed to the Blue Palace you might want to... RETHINK that outfit." Taarie

Did Nate create Skyrim. He seems to know everything about it.

Falkreath has a large connection to vampirism. So many vampires in this region including Falkreath itself having a contract with Half Moon Mill ... a sawmill run by vampires

Mara’s Eye Pond has vampires living under it. They could be related to the vampires in Immortal Blood too.

Anyone ever notice that falkreaths fast travel icon is a deer and the jarl’s crown is deer horns

i just found out ill be 18+ when elder scrolls 6 comes out 👁👁

Hey Nate, been watching your vids for awhile and love your list vids, I'll listen to them at work. You should do more daedric prince lists. Like Sheo or Molag bal, your hermaeus mora list was really interesting

Looked this up a few months ago so thank you for making it

If NBA was in Skyrim Falkreath Bucks Whiterun Mavericks Windhelm Grizzlies Solitude Timber Wolves

Plot twist: Hircine is just a furry that makes people grow bigger and give them claws and sharp teeth but there fur is his chest hair

These are great videos. Keep it up, bro.

i love watching streamers on twitch who will mention my favorite youtubers makes me happy :), Monocramantic mentioned you the other day and other youtubers im thinking hahah i love watching them :) hope you are well Nate, im loving my no modded runs through skyrim two handed Orc and Fallout 4 no mods runs :) Also last few weeks really tucked into oblivion and wow amazing games, love the quests and armors, weapons, the guilds, classes etc i really wish skyrim had classes and guilds and the mages recommendations i loved, and spell crafting, lock picking spells haha. i was late to oblivion as skyrim was my first :) thank you again Nate :)

Sweet!!! Thanks for making my evening awesome nate!!! ^w^ youre 1 of my favorites ^w^

The best prt of the video was the paper scroll rolling into Falkreath xD! No I really love your videos, very cool.

Hey Nate good video! I was hoping you could go over the weirdness which is the Strange Vessel in Sostheim in Moesring Pass. I know it has been covered before and I remember some stuff from Morrowind but I love the way you break stuff down.

Great vid! Really interesting lore. Thanks.

i love your content. you give out facts and explain things that most people dont realize. Thank you

Hey Nate, I really like your deep dives in lore videos! They’re really fascinating to me and help me appreciate the game so much more! If I may make one small criticism, I think these Skyrim videos could use a little more variety in your background music. I noticed that most of your videos play the main Skyrim theme in the background for the entire thing. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Skyrim theme as much as the next guy, but I think including other songs in your videos from the same soundtrack, even playing more of those songs through your videos, would be really cool too! Other than that, I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work 😊

Glad you covered Falkreath. I keep going there first before going to Riverwood

Great video, Nate!

I super love your video, Nate!

Thank you Nate for another amazing entertaining videos please make more even about other games idc if I didn’t play it I like how you make videos it’s a like a mini history lesson

There actually is another small location with only Orc bandits in the game. It’s called Rift Watchtower and it’s in the Riften hold. (Who would’ve thought?)

It’s amazing that this game is 9 years old and people still make videos about it :)
