I still imagine Otar the Mad as unceasingly slamming his dead hands into the sarcophagus's lid, headbutting it, silently screaming and thrashing maniacally, for four-thousand years. Then he gets let out and immedeately some oaf in fancy armor smashes a Dragon's hipbone through his head. :D

After defeating Hevnorak at Valthume, and allowing Valdar to finally be at peace, I always take his helmet, sitting there by his throne in front, and enchant it so I can rename it "Valdar's Helm," as a momento. I usually put a Restoration enchantment on it, since that is the school of magic that has the Turn Undead spell. And that's pretty much what Valdar was doing for 4000 years.

Ah Rogot, now i know the story behind that place i randomly ransacked in 5 minutes.

dragon priests be like: _unexplainable screeching_

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nate actually lived in Skyrim

Best one was Vahlok. He was just a nice guy, honorable and willing to fight a madman. If only we could recruit his spirit to help up take out Miraak in Mora's realm.

If Nate doesn’t say that Skyrim is a ”THICC” game in the next tiny details video i might have to perform the black sacrament

Dragonborn = Dovahkiin Nate = Triviahkiin

Petition for Nate to say Skyrim is a thicc game for the big 50

Is there just way too little lore on Nahkriin? I mean he's the one guarding the entrance to Sovngarde, in Skuldafn. I feel as if he's got to be pretty important.

Ahzidal is probably my favorite. Dude has a deep history and is rooted all over Skyrim and his mission is pretty cool, the reward is even better.

I liked the back story on the one dragon priest who fought Miraak.

Me: I have 4k hours in Skyrim and I know everything in the game, I've every achievement! Nate: Hold my Nord mead

When I fought Otar, i had a legion of rieklings helping me. Apparently they can just randomly show up in dungeons

Gotta say though, the "reason" Alduin appears at that exact time is *BECAUSE* of the civil war "As the scrolls have foretold Of black wings in the cold That come unfurled when brothers wage war Alduin, bane of kings Comes with a hunger to swallow the world" Or so I remember

Holy shit Rahgot went full-Jonestown.......... Which I’m sure is what this quest line references.

No one: Alduin:I shall begin my world domination plan now Dragonborn:*Just arrives to Skyrim* Sad Alduin Hours

Rahgot: **awakens** Im have awak- Why do i here boss music?

That is not how it went with Rahgot. From the journal of the one who attacked: '27th of Sun's Dusk 1E139 It sounds impossible, but we appeared to have stumbled upon a massive hold out of the Dragon Cultists, who were believed to be wiped out during the Dragon War. The Elves must wait, as this is a threat we cannot ignore. If we are quick, we may be able to catch them unaware and avoid a lengthy siege.' They were in the area looking for SNOW ELVES, not Raghot and his followers.

Still waiting for Nate to do his intro on the ' 10 tiny details we may have missed' series in the dragon tounge.... but as always, still very happy with the content

Nobody..... Nate: Murdered to death

What about the dragon priest from the College of Winterhold quest. He fricking talks to us and casts cool spells as well as some other stuff that I won’t spoil. I though he was the coolest dragon priest.

Nate, the next prophecy is for you to call the game THICC, you must do it; for Skyrim.

Gah, Rahgot. At first I was just ransacking the place, picking up everything in sight, vaguely aware that Rahgot's followers poisoned themselves - then I saw the mass graves with the children's bodies, and all the flowers. That made me stop and really look at what was going on.

I wished the encounters with the priests were similar to Morokai when we go in the tombs. They just start screetching when you mess with their nap time...

Rahgot has taught me 1 thing today.... Don't drink the "special" Kool-aide!

"Boots that allow you to walk on water" hmmm I could make a religion out of this

1:47 Damn son Nate’s bringing these historic tales to life

I'd like to see and elderscrolls game mainly focused on the dragonpriests and the dragon war in the merethic era.

Nate, I gotta give it to ya. The effort you put into these videos is amazing and doesn't go unnoticed. From your cinematography for playing out the scenarios, to looking up the lore and giving it to us so we don't have to, all the way to your charisma while recording. Thank you so much for giving me and so many others the depth and lore we so crave. Always supported and always whitelisted on my ad block so i can help you earn what you deserve. Keep it up dude, and i always look forward to your next work of art

Ahzidal's mask looks pretty chill tho.

Another epic vid. No Morokei, and his acquisition of Laborynthian, or how he came to possess the Staff of Magnus?

UM Nate i was just about to get the last dragon priest mask and this came up edit:you wanna explain something

The dragon priests were always so interesting to me. Some greatly differ with morality from godly good to neutral to down right evil. Then you have the pseudo priests as well. Wish we had a quest to actually talk to one. Besides Mirrak of course as he’s technically ex dragon priest

Everyone in forrelhost about to die in a siege: what do we do? Rhagot, about to create forrelhost kool-aid: oh, you haven't heard?

Great video as always, Nate. Maybe for your next project you can take a look at some Dwarven ruins, either actual dungeons or some small things that dot the map such as Deep Folk Crossing.

I was just bout to slay a dragon priest..... Um, Nate?

It's funny that one of the Dragon Priests should be named "Ohtar," as that is the Sindarin Elvish (Tolkien) word for "warrior."

i like to roleplay that Vahlok isnt fighting my Dragonborn because their a soulless husk, but that he's testing me to find me worthy enough to finish what he started when it comes to fighting Miraak.

Interesting to see how many of the Dragon Priests went mad... I guess their minds weren't ready for the power they were given.

This might just be my favourite of all your Skyrim vids. Very well done, and five great stories. Rahgot honestly stunned me the first time I did this quest - the note you find about the children was absolutely chilling. I’d love to see more lore videos about characters like Barenziah or something similar. There are so many great stories that tie into Skyrim that you don’t get to experience unless you actually read the books in this or previous games, so a series about the most interesting characters you don’t ever actually meet in Skyrim would be cool.

love seeing a new skyrim video of yours on my recommended - you never fail to deliver great content

Nothing on Morokei? He's the most interesting one IMO, the only one actually speaking to you!

Dovahkiin: I don't know, your temple was burned to shit. Mirak: That's because I left a cigar burning on the nightstand! Dovahkiin: Sure, if by cigar you mean Vahlok and a legion of pissed-off dragons!

Who wants to get going on the petition for an epic Nate cameo in TES6?

The cinematic views you added are awesome Nate!

3:00 has a Draugr holding a longsword or Zweihänder as if it was an axe, lmao.

I love how there’s like three elder scrolls youtubers all telling the same stories and the lore over and over again, but I keep watching it all anyways.

This was an excellent video Nate! I love these types of videos. Keep up the amazing work.

This is the subject I was waiting for. I hope your content never ends

You got it wrong, King Haralds men werent sent to attack Rahgot. They came across forelhost while driving out the elves.

thank you so much m8 for awesome videos I always enjoy them :) keep up the great work.

From what I understand, the dragon war mainly happened because of the dragon priests in Skyrim. Apparently the dragon priests in Atmora were pretty fair rulers, as opposed to most of those in Skyrim being rather tyrannical. If the dragon priests had reigned in their evil ways, the dragon war may have never happened at all.

Just found this video series and loving it nice work nate after owning the game since xbox 360 and now finally on pc and you tell a wicked story and make me think more on how much you can miss really nice job man i look forward to watching more

The work you put in to line up nords to show the invasion force on that one city, or stage a battle between npcs wearing the ancient falmer armor to represent they were snow elves or all the other details I didn't notice is so subtle and I think underappreciated. There's a lot of work put in to make it high quality

What's more terrifying: the stories behind the Priests or the fact we slay them to death, rip off their faces and wear them or show them on a statue in our house?

Morokei was also one of top 5 Dragon Priests since he has a Staff of Magnus.

I'd love to see a background on the rest of the priests they all are very interesting

I've watched all your skyrim videos your still my favorite KZfaq channel thank you for bringing me happiness

As i watched this vid, i assumed that it could be a pretty dated video, because i usually watch older videos. I was vastly surprised to see this was made TODAY. Like, thats awesome that you still make content like this man, definitely some of the most entertaining content on the platform. Keep em coming!

I love the histories of the Dragon Priest. I have a bearded dragon named Alduin and a hamster named Nahkriin. More tes names too lol

So are you going to be doing this still when TES 6 comes out in 2050? (Love the videos)

Love for these videos❤

“My Top 5 dragon priests, and their terrifying tales in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. Storting off...”

I’m actually early for once!!! I love your videos !!

Definitely my favorite video so far. Love the dragon priest addition to Skyrim more than anything lol

I love your videos watch them all the times. Love the random encounters videos ran into the mad women on top of a snow mountain out of no where. she kept telling me master on vacation and i need to careful was hilarious encounter.

Love the history! You should do more lore!

Did you know Sean Bean voice acted Martin Septim?

I created a new character just because collecting the masks is so fun for me.

Thanks for this one Nate!! The dragon preists were my favourite part of Skyrim.

I never really looked into the dragon priest lore but I always collected their masks as soon as I could but the ones that comes to mind the most is Nahkriin and Krosis and I don’t remember why I remember it so much

I like this alot, keep up the good work

Great video!

You might be the first channel I actually subscribe to...the videos are cool BTW 👍

I know that this is somewhat off topic, but the biggest mystery to me other than the insects in the jars is why Alduin appeared at Helgen during the execution. There's some theories that one of the characters that were being held began praying to the Divines, and Akatosh sent Alduin to help him. There's another one that says that when Alduin was sent to the future, he was transported to Helgen by chance. Some other people suspect that the Thalmor had something to do with it too since they wanted to prolong the war. Skyrim has an immense amount of matters that need to be explained.

Thanks for the information really interesting

Nate, you did it again! I really like the way you pull all the details together about each Dragon Priest. Thank you. btw on another subject, is there anything special when you finally get all the dragon shouts?

Funny that this was the first video I saw when I opened YT. I literally just finished the dragon priest mask sidequest and got Konahrik like... ten minutes ago.

Thank you for this! Vahlok definitely deserves more love!

love u for still making these vids

This channel and mxr's -hentai- immersive mods are the reason I decided to pick up Skyrim again

These videos are always so entertaining. I watch like 7 in one go

This video was really interesting!

Great lore video, Nate! Dragon Priest Otar reminds me a lot of King Leoric from Diablo lore. Horrible circumstances drove him to madness and he became The Skeleton King.

So skyrim had their own version of Jonestown

Your videos are amazing.

Still can't belive you played Minecraft before this.

Another interesting vid

Alternative ways Nate can say Skyrim is a massive game he hasn't said: Skyrim is a Thicc game. Skyrim is the Hitomi Tanaka of the video games Skyrim is a big chungus of a game Skyrim is the Motumbo of video games

I wish they made it so you could rule the dragon priests instead of killing them all.

The Dragon Priests are awesome, perhaps most of all because of their masks. I have all nine (ten if you count the Wooden Mask) from vanilla and I'm wearing Konahriik, I can't wait to get the perk for tempering enchanted items. The only one I have from Solstheim is Zahkriisos, but that is going to change in the next day or so.

Great video, dude. Just saying, the Dragon Priest masks was the reason I really enjoyed the game. So hard to beat but so worth it when you do.

Azidal’s boots of water walking I always kept with me. But I realized they weighed too much so I gave them to my Dwarven Armored Mudcrab. But then my Creation Club stopped functioning so he disappeared and the boots went with him 😢😢😢.

Valok could've been the only Dragon Priest we could engage in a conversation with. Like possibly, we could learn how he incapacitated Mirrak the first time and use some of his knowledge against our battle with Mirrak in Aporapha. Then he could've requested the Dragonborn to defeat him in battle so he knows we're the real deal

When he mentions the "innocent" women and children I immediately thought of Star Wars Episode II attack of the Clones

So we can definitely see Hevnoraak's ghost in Valthuume - thanks, you lifted off some trauma from me haha

That battle between Vahlok and Miraak sounds epic. Meanwhile, all we got was a small and boring fight, that ended in minutes.

do something about hidden details maybe? i think it would be good :p

At the end of the quest "A cornered rat" and the beginning of the quest "Alduin's wall" If you run out of the ratway without Esbern and go straight to Delphine and proceed to talk to her you can get some unique dialogue, where Delphine will proceed to yell at the Dovahkiin ordering them to come back when they have Esbern with them. Also if you don't say Skyrim is a THICC game. I will have to order a shill.
