As for the next Dragon Priest, I would love to hear about Krosis. His name is a curse, and unlike the other priests, he's just kinda out in the middle of nowhere. There's of course also Morokei, the only one that we get to "converse with," so to speak.

Drew is such a fantastic storyteller. Even when I'm not paying attention to the words of the story, his tone and cadence is so relaxing.

The part of the story about Yngol & Ysgramor's interaction on their ship, while Tamriel was once again fading from view behind them after the Night of Tears, gave me chills. It really did. The whole thing about how Ysgramor's eldest son consoled and grieved with him, got him to take a few swigs of mead, wrapped him up in furs before laying him down in a hammock below deck, and then went on to forge the original Wuuthrad for his dad _right there on the sea,_ with only the tools they brought, and Ysgramor's tears, and the natural gifts of Kyne around them...I mean come on, it's _so good._ And by the time the Harbinger awoke, Yngol presented the yet unnamed Wuuthrad to him, who named it Storm's Tears in their tongue on the spot, and embraced his son with all of the bittersweet emotions going around in their heads on their way back to Atmora. Man, that was awesome, thank you, Drew. I was under the impression all this time that I read the Songs of the Return series in-game at some point, or that I'd at least absorbed all of the information in them over time throughout my 11 years of playing the games and watching lore videos, but it turns out, _nope._ I didn't lol, so I'm going through them now! *Even Ysgramor cries,* fellas. The ancient Nords had masculinity and the importance of good emotional health figured out a long time ago. So if any of my guys out there need to hear this, *follow Ysgramor's example.* I'm not saying you have to genocide elves, but _I am_ saying that they're lucky they don't exist alongside us in the real world-hey wait, what? lmao 😉😂

I like to think that Azhidal played 5D chess and gave the Dwemer the idea to do ... whatever they did to the Falmer. It's probably not what happened, but it'd be a fun twist.

My fav Dragon Priest finally deserved sum recognition

I still wonder what happened to Divath Fyr after the eruption of Red Mountain. Can’t imagine he died but I also can’t exactly see him abandoning his tower and Corprasarium… maybe he was far enough away from the eruption?

Haven't watched this yet, I wanted to say beforehand Thank you Drew. You keep putting out quality Elder Scrolls lore material that I & so many can count on to enjoy. Wish you the best with your channel. Hope you continue to enjoy doing it as much as we enjoy watching & listening

While you, Scott, and Michael are an amazing team together, you Drew, were clearly the workhorse of the group. You are clearly intelligent, with your wording, and ability to look in between lines. Thank you for all the content Drew. Plz continue to do more lore and may your mead, never run out.

I always get very hyped when I see a dragon priest .. Ahzidal was even more fascinating

I must say again, your writing is amazing, I just love the way you put everything together almost poetically. The daedrologist in his telvanni tower writing masterpieces to keep us all interested in this beautiful world.

One of the great story tellers of our time! Thanks Drew!

Would love a video on Konahrik

Ahzidal has always been my favorite dragon priest; you covered his tale beautifully!

Imagine if azhidal were Dragonborn he’d probably kill more dragons than mirrak did

Also….. Drew Mora is the Elder Scrolls equivalent of Vaati Vidya

Thank you for the video. It was quite interesting, and easy to follow and listen too. I would love to hear more about Nahkriin or Hevnoraak.

Konahrik would be an interesting one to cover.

I'd love to here any of the story's of the dragon priests if not all of them. Love the videos keep up the good work

God I can’t wait for you to talk about all the lore tidbits of TESVI.

Oh snap! New Drewmora already?? Thank you! Lol

Once again, Drew's storytelling brings great entertainment. It's quite interesting that Ahzidal had learned a lot from the Elves, the Falmer specifically. The fact he was able to partake and learn from Falmer Mages after the Night of Tears already makes you wonder if the Snow Elves were only after humans in Saarthal, and let the other Nedes and humans live. Because... why let Ahzidal live if it was a genocidal conflict in the start? Which shows that yeah, it wasn't the population of man that truly bothered the Snow Elves. And I wonder if he ever found out why the Falmer destroyed Saarthal, and why he assumed all of them supposedly "deserved" to die for it I hope we learn the truth from Bethesda one day. Maybe we can see a short-movie or something that shows the tensions rising between Falmer and Atmorans...

Fantastic as always! A whole series on the Dragon Priests would be awesome, especially the rest of the ones on Solstheim. Not sure if there’s as much lore in regards to those specifically but I’m sure you’re up to the challenge! Hope you’ve been well 😊

It would be awesome to do a full series on all the different dragon priests.

I can't believe I have completely watched all of the fudgemuppet elderscrolls lore and am now catching up here. Thank you, Drew for giving us this

Mr. Drew, another fine telling. You had me enthralled and I was feeling sadness for Ahzidal until he turned to the dragons and then betrayed, even them. He was consumed by his need for knowledge and that, in itself, is very sad as there is not enough knowledge anywhere, in any time, to satisfy one so consumed. Well, thank you for all you do for the community and the lore you highlight for us. As for which dragon priest I'd like to hear about, honestly, ANY of them. They all have a tale to tell and you, being the premiere "teller" of tales, are the only one who can bring the stories to us! Thank you, kind Sir.

Honestly loving these videos, watched the 6 newest ones before I even realized that they were all by the same guy! Had to subscribe at this point, keep up the deep dive lore, it’s honestly amazing!

Like listening to silk and always makes me want to go home to Skyrim

Thank you for posting this

Your videos are great. Long live Drew the Daedrologist and Dragon Historian

Thank you for another amazing tale, Drew. Awesome as always. Please do the same for Mannimarco 🙏🙏🙏

You always put out top notch content Drew! From the narration to your edits🔥 bro. I’m interested on your take on Konahrik and if there is a correlation with the mask and Goldbrand. The 🐉 priest series going to be lit💯

Fascinating! I’d be interested in hearing about any dragon priest that has enough lore surrounding them to make a video!

"Ahzidal, what are you doing with those Snow Elf child-sized daedric mines?" "Don't distract me Yngol. *Front Towards Enemy."*

Your videos helps me so much with my anxiety-calming-excercises, so not only do I want to thank you for making such amazing content for us to enjoy - but also for that! Thank you Drew

MAN! I'm playing the Companions Quest line right now, and THIS vid is the one that pops up! So cool!

this is why I love Elder scrolls! So many great youtubers and so much LOREEE

Drew, you are amazing.

Okay not as early as last time but still good, absolutely love your content ❤

Babe, wake up. Drewmora uploaded another banger.

Was Solstheim even an island at this point in time? The battle between Vahlok and Miraak split Solstheim from greater Tamriel, I thought? So wouldn’t Solstheim be part of northern Skyrim at the time of the Battle of the Moesring?

I wonder if the eye is the tower of Skyrim, maybe called a cave when it was dark, like a deep pupil. It knew it would be found and awoken, it's perceptive physical self a machination of the mind, not unlike the way we perceive the moon's and the sun.

Thank you again Drew for gleaning more knowledge from the Elder Scrolls and providing a deeper understanding of it's contents. The sacrifice of slowly losing your vision through continued exposure to them will not be forgotten, nor will your decipherings be. The day you can no longer provide us with the knowledge of the Elder Scrolls will be a sad one indeed, again thank you.

Your like hermaous morus drew keeper of knowledge and secrets…

Thank you! I would enjoy learning more about the dragon priests. 💜

Your content, your delivery, and your ability to immerse a listener in your videos always keeps me coming back. It never ceases to get me the most hype & brighten up any day when I see a new video drop!

Completely out there topic but I know you're also interested in the connection between Lorkhan and Namira hence the "Great Darkness". "Sep, was driven mad by the Hunger of Satakal, and convinced the other gods to create a 'shortcut' to the Walkabout, resulting in the creation of the mortal world. Though punished for his actions by Tall Papa, Sep continues to exist as a shadow of his former self, attempting to prevent mortal souls from reaching the Far Shores after death."

I didn't even know about Sarthaal's history, I only ever thought it was the capital of the Dragon-Preists that the Falmer sacked for some reason... They need to give Drew and the lads lore consultation jobs 😆 BETHESDA 👏 GET 👏 ON👏 IT! 👏

A video on Konahriik would be sweet

Drewmora & Jeremy Soule's compositions as the ambiance. Cheers! ☕

Literally found the channel yesterday, thanks for dropping the vid

I would love to see Studio MAPPA or Perriot Co. do a TES anime mini-series with 8-12 episodes, each revolving around a specific event in the history of Nirn, beginning with the Dawn War and ending with the Great War of the Fourth Era. I think they would be able to do it justice while giving it a Japanese twist. Or, a Japanese live-action series about the men of Akavir fighting the Snake Men would be very good as well, If we never get a game in Akavir. Really doesn’t matter which of the big studios would do it, I just wanna see a TES anime

I don't care who's next, as long as you do the videos, I will watch them!

Superb episode, so good! Thanks, Drew.👍

Splendid video. Great subject!

Bangers as always

The daedra hearts I offered were accepted. My prize.... A new drewmora!!🙏

Such a good vid this was ❤ I’d love to learn more about the dragon priests and their masks, they’re so interesting 😁

Whoever did the enchantment, that scene on the ship is heart-wrenching

I love this! I will subscribe too, the dragon priest I do find to be mysterious like hidden among the shadows is Vokun. I would love the dragon priest Vokun to be spoken about and why he guards that encrypted scroll.

imagine if the night of tears never happened.

He was possibly the greatest mage; however, his greatest strength was also his greatest weakness. Fueled by the illusory nature of duality and opposition, he was consumed by the 'I' of the Aurbis and the Wheel of Convention.

No shade to the other muppets, but drew was hands down my favorite

It doesn't matter how many years go by, each lore video on any channel for that matter makes me so so soooo excited yet incredibly sad until TESVI comes out, because on one hand i love imagening what amazing thing's we'll learn in the next elder scrolls, but my crazed need for it makes me sad because its still so far away. In the mean time though i cant get enough of these videos Drew. Always done with the utmost prowess in both knowledge and story telling!

I think the Dwemer were responsible, whether directly or indirectly, for the Night of Tears. The ruins of Mzulf proved that the Dwemer were the ones that had the means to locate both the Eye and Staff of Magnus. And whether they convinced some rogue Snow Elves or did it themselves, Saarthal was attacked but the Eye somehow wasn't relocated. I think this means that the Eye was not the real target. Then Ysgramor and the Nords happened, killing and enslaving any elf in sight (they even confused Bretons as elves at some point). Of course the elves that would suffer the most are the Snow Elves which are the most prominent elves on the surface. This forced the Snow Elves to desperately seek refuge with the Dwemer, which I think is the whole plan all along. A magically-inclined race is a perfect subject for magical and supernatural experiments.

I'd like to learn about Krosis. Why is his coffin out in the middle of nowhere, with no tomb or barrow? Just a coffin barely shielded from the elements by a word wall. Why does that word wall contain all three words of the Throw Voice shout? What's the significance behind his name, which translates to "sorrow"?

And yet you bop him with your Orc Berserker turning him to ashes to steal his shit. A breton just eats him for breakfast 🤣 I kinda wish the dragon priests had abilities that do justice to their lore

Camel's microphone sounds so good, lol

All of them you can, any kind of dark priest is fascinating really, or at least that's how I see it

The Greatest Mage Who Ever Lived. The Greatest Emperor That Ever Lived. The choice of titles is always entertaining to see. Hope y'all are doing good.

The 15 and 1 tones is what made the falmer blind! The fruit of the stones is the tones!

Would love to see/hear the story of Konahrik or what story there is to tell 😁

Raghot would be my request for next priest. As to Azidal, one wonders if he made contact with Mora prior to Ysgramor's return, and Mora only collected his debt later, when the prince could use him to acquire the knowledge kept by the dragon cult. Food for thought.

Even though i know everything about a topic, you manage to make it interesting to listen to. I dont know how you do it but keep it up!

and during the cold nights, with theo nly light be a torch. would the nords of skyrim be able to tell the difference from Aylieds, Falmer, and the dwemer?

One of my absolute favorite characters. As always Drew makes God level content. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Ahzidal is one of those Dragon Priests who has a inspirational poster in his bathroom that says "Go hard, or go home!" I'm guessing.

You should definitely see him in Vicn's mod, Glenmoril...

13:43 Did I just hear that the Sygics learned their magic from the Dreughs?! What the hell kinda bomb is that to drop like common knowledge? Lmao

You're my favorite youtube channel

Awesome video! Do one on Vahlok the Jailor next.

Could u cover Dukaan nxt

Otar the Mad.

Keep to the Dragon Priests on Solstheim first. Dukaan is interesting because he could summon Seekers but I can't recall any story about his background.

0:36 this armour looks so damn cool what mod is it?

Can you do khonariik? Wasn't he the leader?

May Herma Mora grant you the hidden knowledge to enthrall the great algorithm of KZfaq.

Hi 👋🏻 Drew! I love the historic knowledge of the lore, even the controversial bits, and the philosophical discussion method of presentation. Always have. Also like the way it’s logically constructed in a manner that is easy to consume and understand. I would love you to delve into each of the Dragon Priests. If some have little known about them, they could be consolidated with others. They are as fascinating as the Ringwraiths who were once kings of men in LOTR. I find Ahzidal particularly interesting as a mage because usually the Nords at least by the time of Skyrim, distrustful of magic. We’re they always so, or was Ahzidal’s tale & the Eye of Magnus conflict of Saarthal part of the foundation of that distrust? That endless knowledge seeking driving him mad, could it have had anything to do with Hermaeus Mora? He seems to fit that whole narrative because of what happens in Apocrypha and his deigns on the Skaal knowledge, who also happened to pass down the tales of Ahzidal. If you mentioned such a possible connection in the video & I missed it, it should be noted that my oldest daughter kept distracting me whilst I tried to listen. 😁

I didn't know Ahzidal was so damn powerful

Falmer: "We can't let the Men use the magics that belong to the Mer against us! We *must* take the Eye of Magnus before they tap it's power!" Ahzidal: "So I was just traveling the world learning the magics of the Mer when I came along and, well they gave me a reason." wonderful irony

What I don't quite understand, if the snow elves wanted the Eye of Magnus, why would they leave it in Saarthal? Why not bring it to one of their own settlements or temples? Especially since Saarthal has basically been turned into a huge grave, wouldn't be my location of choice for a divine artifact. If they did move it, why would the Nords bring it back later on (as "The Night Of Tears" suggests)? Would they (Nords) really have cared for it? I imagine we would have documentation of that, like a dramatic telling on how and why they bothered to re-bury it back in Sarthaal. I also imagine Ahzidal would have tried to figure out how to utilize the Eye against the elves, if he knew about it - which he would have. What if the Eye of Magnus was not in Saarthal at that time - what if it showed up later? Divine artifacts do have a tendency to show up wherever and whenever in the elder scrolls universe. What if the snow elves were at the right place, but at the wrong time? On another note: who even figured out the eye was connected to Magnus? And how? Like, who officially named it? It's so strange that we basically don't know anything about this thing, but we know it is connected to Magnus, hmm

Ahzidal was a chad

whats the connection between azidhal and the Bloodskal Blade.

Any dragon priest

For being one of the greatest mages who have ever lived, it was surprisingly easy to shank him and take his stuff. Should've casted "protagonist ward"

What Sarthal mod is that?!

the miraak lore video? Did he and veloth the jailer really disconnect solthiem from Skyrim ? This story makes it sound like it was an island before the dragon cult even came to power

I'm still curious why nobody did anything with the eye? If the Falmer knew it was there and launched a full assault on a nordic settlement, I feel like the other mer would have likely known about it. Why didn't anyone try going after this all powerful eye in the centuries before ES5?

FYI the dewmer were basically using string theory, super long story short, every atom/ energy source has a vibration that can be tuned etc to get it to do something else. NGL ES lore is so deep that to this day I’m still finding out cool things. Also Molag did nothing wrong ;3

Hey btw, I don't know if you play Crusader Kings 3 at all but a massive Elder Scrolls adaptation is about to release on 11/11. It all takes place in the second era and I'd love to see what your take on it is!

Krosis please ^_^
