From the years 3E 389 - 399, the evil battlemage Jagar Tharn held Emperor Uriel Septim VII captive in another dimension. During this time, Tharn posed as the true emperor, and ruled over Cyrodiil. How did the villain obtain the necessary power to pull off his scheme? Was the Eternal Champion alone in their quest to deliver justice to the imposter? How far did Tharn's influence spread during his ten-year reign? All of these questions will be answered within.

I wonder if the Imperial Simulacrum was a preparation for the Oblivion Crisis. It has to have weakened the Empire morally, financially and military. And Jagar Tharn was in an alliance with Mehrunes Dagon, as seen in Battle Spire.

Yeah but it was a long time after that when the Oblivion Crisis took place. Tharn didn't really have a role to play in that I think

It could also be possible that the high elves could have been behind it all. The high elves could have been manipulating the events of the imperial simulacrum and Oblivion Crises in order to weaken the empire over a long period of time so they could reform the Aldmeri Dominion and dominate the continent bring back the rule of elves over Tamriel

I agree, the Elder Scrolls lore is very detailed. The series should be told in other media than just games because there is simply too much lore to be told. The Elder Scrolls series is two decades old and we have only known and introduced into several provinces of Tamriel. There's still other continents with its own cultures and history such as Akavir, Atmora, Yokuda, Pyandonea, etc. And there are other planets and planes of Oblivion still left untouched. I think I'd be a hundred years old before the series run out of things to tell

I find having the actual books to read instead of just reading them in game helps me focus more on the content & retain it better. Hopefully eventually we get more tho, I’d love to see new books & maybe even a show/movie one day.

Excellent video! I would just like to add that in the last book of the in game book series The Mystery of Princess Talara,i think volume 5, there is mention that a local conflict between ruling lords in the province of High Rock, prevented the emperor Uriel VII to know of Tharn's treachery earlier thus avoiding the whole simulacrum incident plus all the other wars and conflicts mentioned in your video as well 😁I don't want to spoil the story of the Talara books that is why i am being so vague.. Also that incident mentioned in the Talara book might explain how Eadwear knew of Tharn's treachery beforehand, since he is a Breton.

I'm really loving this series. Its like an abridged version of Zaric Zhakaron's TES Lore series that cuts out a lot of the fat and provides only the basic essentials for anyone wanting to get into the lore and backstory of The Elder Scrolls. This is easily a preferred starting point for newcomers, and from there, they can go read up on the lore themselves for other miscellaneous events not covered in this series. I may not watch the Daggerfall video immediately since I'm currently doing my first serious playthrough of the game on Daggerfall Unity. I'll be sure to give it a watch though when I'm finished with Daggerfall's main quest and see how well your plot synopsis holds up.

@agrippa2012 Жыл бұрын

The Eternal Champion is **not** the Hero of Daggerfall. This theory is disproved by the "background history" that can be found in the character sheet after you create your character in TES2. There are many possible backgrounds that the game can generate for the player depending of what you choose during character creation. But all of them describe the defeat of Jagar Tharn as a event you had no involvement with.

Bro she made up for it in the end though. Yes possibly Tharn might not of got the staff without her but the Champion wouldn't of been able to stop him without her either. But yeah I'd bet that Tharn would of taken care of the Emperor in a different way or he would of got the staff with simply a bit more difficultly if she didn't. Plus the male elf husband informed the Emperor right away instead of trying to hide the fuck up like an Altmer would do!
