The Fall of the Ayleids - The Elder Scrolls Lore

Рет қаралды 312,589

Күн бұрын

The Ayleids were one of the most powerful races in the history of Tamriel. That being so, why did they fall? How did a group of human slaves topple this great empire? And what role did a time traveling demigod play in the war for humanity's freedom? Here you'll find the answers to these questions and more.
These videos take quite a while to make. I assure you, the next episode is always on the way.

Basically what is sounds like is Pelinal was a godlike human/daedra from the future who used an elderscroll to change time. Bascially it makes you wonder what his world was like which made him want to come to that time.

yeah, with an elder scroll anything is basically possible and impossible at the same time. he might as well have come from our world to there when you follow that logic.

@squidwardtentacles244 6 жыл бұрын

my theory is: Pelinal comes from original future which humans are still enslaved by ayleids. Pelinal's family gets killed by ayleids or something like that. Pelinal uses a elder scroll to go back time and stop human slavery. It's a dragonbreak or something like that I suppose.

In the game Oblivion (if I remember correctly) you aren't allowed to use Pelinal's armor if you follow the steps of the Dark Brotherhood. Who worship Sithis. Which leads me to believe that he is not tied to Lorkan or Sithis. Since they are from the same line.

Pelinal, possibly a Shezzarine, saying his maniacal homicidal rages feel like “when the dream no longer needs its dreamer” goes hard AF. Think about having a dream and the beings in it being so wronged, that the dream itself becomes animate and goes on a rage bender. This gets even crazier when you consider the concept of the Godhead, and all of the Aurbis being a dream. Either the creation/dream itself, or Shor/Lorkhan, being the heart of Mundus itself, was PISSED at the Ayleids. Just. Damn.
