As for the apperance of the Tsaesci, it's entirely possible that they're a similar case to the Khajiit with some breeds appearing more snake like and others more humanoid. I'd definitely explain the many conflicting accounts of how they look.

Imo that takes something from the khajit for no good reason. I think it's more likely that tsaeci that breed with men create a half reed, that or our historical accounts couldn't differentiate the odd looking men from the snake men as they were both vaguely Asian and likely related in some manner

I could very well see the possibility of the Tsaesci and Ka'Po'Tun being Empires on Akavir with multiple races loyal to each and interbreeding. Like people Tamriel doesn't need to hold a monopoly of having multicultural empires. To me it's been made pretty clear there's both Snakes and Humans and Hybrids all being called Tsaesci because it's not the name of the race it's the people it's them as a faction as a political entity. They're the Imperials of Akavir as in the conquers of many peoples now under their one banner. The more unique rarely mentioned Rat and Canine peoples could indeed be low ranking vassals or minorities within one of the empires/pacts. I'd say all but the Kamal are multicultural multiracial.

That was my thinking, I'm pretty sure the tsaeci eat the men of akavir though, but my interpretation is the human slaves (or potentially human subjects) and tsaeci were both regularly seen and conflated to be the same race (as seeing an Asian human with potentially a similar skin tone to the tsaeci may confuse the men of Tamriel who only know their own concept of men) and the accounts we see of a mix between them weren't first hand. As far as we know racial interbreeding never results in half breeds in TES, one side will always be dominant, so I think this is the most likely thing given Bethesdas tendency to not use design sheets and contradict their own lore only to turn around and make up some bs to cover their asses lmao

My theory with the tsaesci "eating" the human population in akavir was allways 1)they were assimilated, (like you said) or (my perfered theory) 2) the tsaesci are human as well, BUT they are weresnakes. We know that there are not only werewolves, there are also werebears. So why couldn't they by just that? That trough war and forced assimilation normal humankind got eradicated. Because "why be just a normal human when you can have the strenght of of a god" ? The lower classes will probably be more human and can't control their transformation and be just feral beasts ,while the nobility can probably turn themselves into gigantic dragonlike snakes whenever they want too.

The "shapeshifting" theory makes the most sense to me, since vampires in Tamriel are able to morph from a humanoid form, to a more bat-like form. So the Tscaesci being snake-like, instead of bat-like, and shifting from humanoid to serpent, makes sense. Plus, it would make sense that there could be different breeds of vampire, just like the other beast-folk (werewolves, khajiit, etc)

Head cannon/theory : The Tsaesci were human but due to the foreign and adversarial nature of first contact different cultures and socio/economic/political classes accounts of the story of this mysterious people varied heavily based on motive various factors. The Tsaesci seem to have mostly only interbreed with the higher echelons of imperial society, therefore being a sign of prestige, like old money. Hence one of the reasons why there is a spectra of attitudes towards the Tsaesci. Here is a section of a quote from an Italian writer from 551 describing the Huns. "They made their foes flee in horror because their swarthy aspect was fearful, and they had, if I may call it so, a sort of shapeless lump, not a head, with pin-holes rather than eyes." The description here is not only by contemporary standards absurdly racist but also describes something that a reader would have a hard time imagining anything other than something scarcely human. Many Italians may have never seen a Hun, certantly not as often as a description of one is heard or spoken, hence they had been demonized, literally. Versidue Shaie's description of being a snake may be a result of how this figure was felt about rather than how he actually appeared. He rose to power by virtue of sycophancy and attained defacto emperorship through treachery the ultimate snake move.

Still think my most likely theory is that the more serpentine they were the higher born they were thus closer connected to their ancestors, considering how much they hold their ancestry in high regard. Versidue would be much like a naga (the snake men as portayed in the depicted picture in the vid, not whatever those argonians were in murkmire) and the footsoldiers or even commanders were much more humanoid being they were more militant and less proud of their ancestry if not completely shunning the snake counterparts. Versidue was only ever depicted as more snake like, the last year of the first era series depicted him as being coiled from beneath himself as would a snake, so while the book is a bit of a mix in fiction and historical account in the lore, it does add to the consistency of higher born like him being much more snake like.

My theories on the tsaeci appearance are these: A) they are snake werebeast that are humans. This would explain the conflicting accounts and why they seem to be able to go in between the two potentially being able to control the extent at which they transform, this is more likely than shapeshifters as they've only ever been described as men or tsaeci or in between and nothing else. B) the tsaeci are rulers of slave or subject humans, and the accounts of them being human like are due to the men of Tamriel not recognize that these (likely Asian inspired) humans are humans and not just the snake people that have similar characteristics to them. The descriptions of the in between are just second hand accounts that were attempting to reconcile the two. This is likely given how Bethesda typically handled the lore and as we know races on nirn crossbreeding doesn't result in halfbreed races, meaning there can't be a halfway point without their being werebeasts or our accounts being from unreliable narrators

The best fitting explanation of the Tsaesci is that they are either men who have serpent like features, or that they are men who can transform into some sort of weresnake. Every other explanation from there being no humans to them being multicultural has so many holes poked through. There’s also the fact that it’s an open debate within Bethesda what the nature of their appearance is, so until they decide, everyone is wrong

*Edit: Maybe make a video called “What what happend to dragons outside Skyrim?”* Since all dragons in Skyrim awakening after the arrival of Alduin, wouldn’t that mean that all dragons including red dragons in Akavir are also included? Not sure if Alduin has control of *all* dragons or just his little possy in Skyrim. I’d imagine even dragons in Atmora awakening under thick layers of snow and ice. Perhaps dragons like Tosh raqa’ awakening. Maybe even Uriel Septim as he turned into one but now I’m getting a little far fetched..

Uriel achieving Dracochrysalis is something i havent heard but who knows right?

Since leftoverpat said he would not do a video suggested by me in this plane of existence. I'll ask you. Would you do a video about how Human Mer relationships caused the Bretons and or would it be even possible for Human/Elf on Beast races to produce offspring. In Oblivion Shivering isles suggests so but how would it work in the eyes of actual science, and would it cause genetic traits to the child. Such as Fur or Scales on a skin, and would Werewolf/Vampirism be inheritable

Parts of Tamriel yes. But Valenwood, Elsweyr, Argonia, Morrowind, Hammerfell are clearly not European. Hammerfel and Elsweyr have clear African and Middle East inspiration...Maybe even South Eastern Asia for parts of Elsweyr. The rest on the list are High Fantasy areas with no 1:1 to anywhere on earth. Yokuda is also African inspired. Atmora is clearly Arctic Circle. Aldmeris is High Fantasy but inspired by Atlantis. Akavir is definitely Asian influenced yes at least what we know of.

I have an out there theory that the Tsaesci aren't as bad as people say they are. If they are really inspired by Japanese culture then maybe they just want to be left alone. I feel like the other races like the Tang Mo and Kamal are accurate due to the very limited information and contact we have of them. Also cool Monkey people are funny.

my only issues are why bethesda made so much happen in the early eras that we can still come across in the 3rd and 4th eras, like how have easily accessible ruins still got valuables in. then theres the fact that dwemer spectres arent present in skyrim but are in morrowind (even a fully sentient one complete with memories) and a living millenia old dwemer that isnt mentioned by the dark elves of solstheim. Plus how do we not know things about the kamal and the tsaesci despite the 2nd invasion happening only 11 years before the events of ESO and the fact that the empire was ruled by a tsaesci less than 200 years before. its strange how they became lost to time in a decade while i can pick up dwemer gear and books 5000 years later when theres evidence of looters and the doors just open. seems like they just dont want to flesh akavir out

Definitely Post-Nerevar. As for why maybe the Dunmer just changed their language overtime and the new term is just easier to say. Or it's because of foreigners having a hard time saying the old name so they changed it to something they could all pronounce correctly. Me I think native Dunmer would still call it Resdayn in chats with other Dunmer in Dunmerth and only in chats with outsiders speaking in the common tongue is Morrowind used. I think the term and name originates from Cyrodiil and it's Empires.

@@idipped2521 I think they're separate races and that when a race is "consumed" by the Tsaesci what it means is they're conquered or join the Empire of the Snakes. So my belief is that Snakes, Humans and Dragons are all part of an Expansionist Empire over there that seek to conquer the Tigers and their Dov ally then head West to conquer Tamriel. The Dragonguard and Akaviri Potentate showcasing examples of the Humans and Beastfolk of the East are egalitarian and ambitious by nature willing to work with other species as long as the Snakes and/or Dragons are ruling. Also it should be noted that Snakes and Dragons have direct connections mythological wise. With Serpentine Dragons being depicted in the East with more prominence and with certain sources claiming that Snakes/Serpents are but Imperfect Dragons. The Snakes like Men more then likely revere the Dov as Gods or at the least fear/respect their power. Maybe they rebelled against them but I would rather assume they serve them while the Tigers that turned a Mortal into a Dragon through unnatural means are the Rebellious. Explaining why they followed Reman an Human...Because he had the Blood and/or Soul of a Dov naturally. So Snakes and Dragons are the Ruling class/Divines, While Humans are the Warrior class...Whether there are more races under the banner I don't know at the very least they're trying to conquer others. Whether the Snakes are Vampiric I don't know but the system could still be the same regardless.

In my opinion the tsaesci are bipedal and cousins to men and elves. As men cannot reproduce with races like argonians and khajiit. Maybe a race of elves with scales due to the climate they live in. Also the door in sky haven temple has a humanoid face, although doesn't look like any race of human or elf in bone structure. In my opinion the face on sky haven temple is the only concrete evidence of what they looked like. And if they were so easy to assimilate into imperial society , my best guess is that they looked and acted more like man than anything else

The Vth as in Fifth. Uriel number five...He'd be long dead and his descendants if he had any there would be legally bastards and there's this whole thing that the Septim blood and name is no longer needed. The Mede dynasty is a legitimate successor in place by the Elder Council. The dragonfires are now permanent a Dragonborn ruler is no longer needed and Skyrim made it clear that we'd be the last being called a Dragonborn. There's no reason that any bastards of the Septims would or should take the throne outside of traditionalists valuing an defunct dynasty. They could exist yes but the chances are they would never sit on the Imperial Throne and in fact could have an happier easier life in Akavir.
