Also for people who actually read this, this is probably my biggest project yet. It's really what my channel has been sort of going towards, and I didnt expect to still be doing this in 2021. I started this channel in 2016 after watching and getting inspired guys like Fudgemuppet , Camelworks and Avarti. And to know that people actually enjoy my stuff is very cool. Thank you all :)

To generally explain a dragon break. Imagine light through a prism. The prism represents the start. The refracted rainbow represents the timelines. Now imagine the entire rainbow of light hitting another prism, and becoming normal light again. This is a dragon break. Time shatters into multiple paths. But they eventually reconverge, and all aspects and events within every path are true and false. But from an outside perspective you see everything as it happens.

@technodroid9411 Жыл бұрын

Hey, I know this is late but how is it possible though? Isn't there a contradiction? Say there was a dragon break when Alduin returned, so there would be a timeline where the Dragonborn fail to stop Alduin and one where he succeeded. If the timelines reconverge how can the Dragonborn have failed and succeeded at the same time?

@@technodroid9411 no, not quite. See, Alduin's defeat did not come at the point of a dragon break, it's the tunnel punched through time he was banished through.

And everything in the Elder Scrolls universe? It is all the manifestation of a dreamer. It's all, technically, one big dream. And dreams do not follow logic as we know it.

I may be decently familiar with _Elder Scrolls_ lore but it is helpful to get an in-depth refresher every now and then; and even in a "Introduction Basics" video I can always learn something new. This is indeed an impressive effort of summarization and I look forward to the future episodes of the "Intro Lore" series you are developing. Also with what you said about Elder Scrolls themselves; I just thought what if its the game code itself that's written on them.

My dream future elder scrolls game is one which does a bait and switch halfway through the main questline where the dwemer return and they become the new antagonists because they've been trapped in some other plain of existence and they've made it their mission to return to tamriel and conquer it. It would be cooler if its kept a secret in the marketing of the game and its a suprise for the player unless they've seen some leaks.

@Jon-ov4nc 2 жыл бұрын

That would be cool, rather than being trapped it's just as likely they were thrown through time as a result of a dragon break caused by the activation of the numidium, kind of like how Alduin was thrown through time by a dragon break.

Example, the Second Era is personally one of my favorite era of ES Lore. That was the era when there was no Dragonborn emperor and with the death of the last Tsaeci potentate, the Interregnum began. It wasn’t until *hundreds* of years later that Hjalti Early-Beard was revealed to be a Dragonborn. When he came to the Ruby Throne, called himself Tiber Septim and relit the Dragon Fires, only then did the Third Era finally begin.

Daggerfall was my gateway drug into TES and it blew my mind when I played it for the first time. I had no inkling of the scope of the game or what to expect from it. My college buddy lent me his copy and right there on the box was written "Welcome to your new obsession". It was the first PC game I'd ever played and, having nothing but console JRPGs under my belt, my sense of awe and wonder was palpable. I could do practically ANYTHING in this world. It was such an enormous sandbox that I have yet to finish the main story line. Someday, King Lysandus,...someday I will finally free your tormented soul and close the marble jaws of Oblivion.

Fun fact: when he was talking about books being censored, he is most likely talking about “The Real Barenziah” which is a biography about one of the most famous Dunmer Queens who came to power just as the Septim Dynasty was founded. The censored portion was actually censored not “by the church” in game but by people rating the game as the particular potion that got censored was a very graphic sex scene between Barenziah and Talos. They just used the church excuse I imagine as a way to explain the blip in the story and also possibly as a jab at the people who made them censor it in the first place.

Thank you for this video! I've always loved Skyrim and the little lore I know from just playing but I've really been wanting to get more into the ES series as a whole recently. I love video game lore, history and theories. This video was very helpful and has me even more in the mood to try Oblivion and Morrowind!

Ahhh you lit the fires inside many souls, including myself; a rekindle of a passion I once had, and forgot existed inside. (Not just for beginners, but even lore masters untold) This is amazing, and while I am a fan, and take my own personal account on how to interpret most of the lore since 'Morrowind' onwards; this does exactly what any fan wants, to learn and know more about, especially in a orderly and summarized way. Definitely interested in watching more of your content, alongside with sharing this with some people who are beginners to the Elder scrolls universe. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world, this is truly amazing. Blessings friends; May the Gods ever shine their glow, and the hearts of people learn to know, May the Fates watch over us, and their threads weave us a future of Gold.

I discovered TES with skyrim like 2 weeks ago and it immediately took me into it, the lore only from one game frome one "country?" seemed so enormous that I wanted badly to know more about the elder scrolls so thank you so much for this video, it's incredible and knowing I'm just scratching the surface and all of that is only from Tamriel's perspective is breathtaking

This is great! Thank you very much. I'm not new to the games by any means, but I've played them out of order and was very confused. Is there a way that subtitles could be added? I'm awful at accents, and at some points, I can't understand what is being said.
