Mehrunes dagon is like a reversed Pandora's box Rather than finding hope amidst all of the destruction. You find destruction amidst the hope.

I've always like the Khajitii view; Dagon is a kitten. He caused chaos and sometimes destruction because it is his nature, but you cannot punish him for that

i love this channel. it's not just repeating game lore, y'all actually get INTO it. deeper meanings, deeper philosophy, filling in gaps or building on ideas. every video is a new and exciting way to experience these games.

The Dawn Era is the Godhead taking Ambien before bed

Dagon is the embodiment of the Mandate of Heaven. If you rule poorly, Dagon gets more power, and then you’re screwed.

Imagine how many buckets that book made when it burned

I blessed the rains down in Blackmarsh?

dagon: ive come to save you! mortals: hurray! dagon: from YOURSELVES! he has always been THE daedric prince since oblivion, great video!

13:46 I bless the rains down in Aaargoniaa

"...After all, what have the Aedra done for you? Life and death? Linear time? Love and prosperity? Pft! What about some good old anarchy?"

Liberté, égalité, fraternité, ou la mort! Long live the Dagon, God of Revolution!

We need Oblivion Special Edition.

Pappa Dagon is a garbage collector, cleans the fetid corrupted mess of mortals. But sometimes Pappa Dagon accidentally crushes the innocent in his Trash compactor

*sees thumbnail* Mehrunes Dagon: Daedric Prince of Lifting

In TES6 there needs to be a bard called Totonius who sings the ballad “I blessed the rains down in Argonia”

The best way of waking up is fudgemupet and great coffee in your cup!

Finally! This is finally a video! I've been waiting eras for something this *REVOLUTIONARY*

*Dagon enters world* Imperial soldier: Uncool man

I choose to believe that mehrunes dagon COULD have been a god of hope and good but as he was released from the depths of lig he looked apon the world and saw only fire and chaos and destruction. so that is what he became to rival the cold tyranny a firey revolution. I only think this because of the quote "at the heart of every cynic is a disappointed optimist."

Perfect way to wake up.

Now I'm wondering if Dagon influenced Ulfric in any way...

good video. your comments of perspective reminds me of the line from jurassic world: to a canary, a cat is a monster. we just got used to being the cat.

4 minute long intro? What is this, a Metallica song? 😂❤️❤️

"Y'all mind if I praise Lord Dagon?" *DO YOU WANT A REVOLUTION?* *DO YOU WANT A REVOLUTION?!*

Mehrunes Dagon is one of the most intresting Daedric Princes. Mankar's writings are debatable though.

God, this takes me back to the game that started it all for me. Thanks for the journey down memory lane, Scott and Michael!

I kept the Mehrunes Razor with me throught Skyrim because I really liked it and because during my first playthrough the Mythic Dawn quest didn't appear because of a bug.

The idea of Daedric Princes not being Et Ada is always interesting, it could mean that maybe a new one can come around at any time, I hope Jyggylag becomes more prominent in the franchise some day

It seems likely that Mehrunes Dagon was partially inspired by the Hindu goddess Kali.

These were the days of Hoag the Greater, born in a boot...[Long after] the two bells [of the All-Maker's Goat] rang out their clamouring, calling the end of days again in Sarthaal and the world, and Alduin's shadow was cast like carpetflame on east, west, south, and north...[he was] epoch eater. For as far as any man's eyes, only High Hrothgaar remained above the churning coils of dragon stop. And Alduin said, "Ho ha ho." But, look! Seven more mountains remained through Mereth like Hrothgaar and the Leaper Devil King (a kindly leaper demon, to be sure, but their king) jumped across the nilphony swirl. He came to Alduin (who always eats Nords first) and said, "Wait, wait, wait! Wait! It is not time to destroy the world yet!" To which Alduin roared and laughed and said, "King of Leapers, you always bounce up to me around this time (for you are one of the only spirits that can last til my last bite) and shout, 'Wait!', but I never do and I will not now. Leap up to Hrothgaar's top and wait awhile longer in little dignity. The two bells have went 'Gong! Gong!' and that means the kalpa has turned." The Leaper Demon King knew all this was true but still he said, "Wait, first and last of spirits, the kalpa-turning is brought too soon and I can prove it! Look over there on top of Red Mountain. See the Greedy Man waving his arms?" Alduin swallowed more of Mereth (this was the destruction of Njorvela and Teed County) and looked over. Indeed the Greedy Man was waving his arms as if to tell the time-eating dragon to stop. Alduin snorted gruffly (a few farms shot out of his nose but he caught them with his tongue and pulled them back into his mouth, for he eats it all) and said, "And the Greedy Man always waves his arms about around this time as if to stop me just like you. It is almost as if you two work together to delay me. Is that what this is? Is some other low spirit hiding portions of the world while you two do this thing? Is this why the kalpa-feast always takes a little longer than it did the previous time?" And then Alduin looked hard into the eyes of both the Greedy Man (far away) and the Leaper Demon King (close up), one of them for each eye of his own, and he knew it was so. These two spirits gulped big, and were caught. "Oh crap," the Greedy Man said, "He knows my bargain with the king of leapers, I'd better hide under my mountain!" but he thought and said all this too fast and, without thinking, hid under his mountain even though its base had already been eaten and so it wasn't all still there. (This is how the Greedy Man became trapped both in and outside of kalpas.) "Oh crap," said the Leaper Demon King, "You have found us out, World-Eater! Yes, just after the two bells of the All-Maker's Goat sound the Greedy Man and I and our servants hoard bits and bobs of the world so you can't eat it all. And when the world comes back we sort of just stick these portions back on and so that's why it is all bigger and bigger for you to eat each time. But it wasn't my idea! The Greedy Man hates you so much and it was his idea to finally trap you one kalpa when it was all much too big and so you would explode out from your belly and die so that the world would never have to die again!" Alduin (whose stomach was hurting because it was a little too stretched, which had never happened before, and now he knew why) grew furiously angry and boomed out, "You stupid little f*cker, do you even know what would HAPPEN if that happened, my dying and being unable to eat and the kalpa left to run forever? Why do I even ask, you who are a little low spirit whose only real power is jumping around? It is the Greedy Man I should really be mad at!" And the Leaper Demon King saw a possible way out of this mess for himself but he nodded too eagerly, saying "Yes, yes, yes! Yes!" and the dragon knew that any mercy he might give to this little demon would not result in any true learning. So he cursed the king of the leapers, calling him Dagon, saying: "The Greedy Man has already f*cked himself up good, hiding inside something that didn't exist anymore, but you: you I curse right here and right now! I take away your ability to jump and jump and jump and doom you to [the void] where you will not be able to leave except for auspicious days long between one and another and even so only through hard, hard work. And it will be this way, my little corner cutter, until you have destroyed all that in the world which you have stolen from earlier kalpas, which is to say probably never at all!"

Why dagon did you put a bucket in your book?

why is skyrim lore so relaxing

Based on their spheres molag bal and mehrunes dagon must despise each other. I need fanart of this!

Do you ever plan to make a video on the augur of dunlain?

yeah i remember oblivion, i loved going through the portals to the relm of hel.....hope! and those dramora that stormed the city drenching the streets in blood were so full of hope it truly inspired me. hope /hōp/ noun 1. a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. "he looked through her belongings in the hope of coming across some information" synonyms: aspiration, desire, wish, expectation, ambition, aim, plan, dream, daydream, pipe dream; More 2. ARCHAIC a feeling of trust. yup......daygon, killer of mortals ruler of oblivion beacon of hope

Was watching a fudge Muppet vid patiently waiting for this vid thank u fudge Muppet

“How can a lowly plant ever hope for a fair share, when the weed controls all the wealth, all the military power, all the influence?” *USSR anthem intensifies in Daedric*

This channel is absolutely amazing! 🙌 Learning more about the Elder Scrolls universe is always wonderful. 😃 Still waiting for Elder Scrolls VI (6) 👀

so he really did win in Oblivion he killed the line of the septims just as he intend. Martins sacrifice was all for naught for he fell right into Dagon's hands by sacrificing himself.

That is such an interesting perspective on the Virtue of Hope. I like it!

Boethiah: Prince of plots, turns people against each other, sows seeds of paranoia and chaos, creates whispers of betrayal and ma... Mehrunes Dagon: *BOOM!*

"...as common as the rains down in Argonia." I spit out my drink. Well done!

The word Dreugh is pronounced as 'Druck', not as 'Dreg'. You can hear the correct pronunciation in the Oblivion game.

I don't know but I think that Lyg was a sister world to Nirn, and by the birth of Dagon, it was transformed into his real of Oblivion, the world we enter in TES4 through fiery gates.

Omg, Dagon is like a merge of Tzeench and Khorne from Warhammer.

Your speech about hope makes me think of the Twin Lamps from Morrowind. The Twin Lamps were an organization who’s job was to go undercover to set slaves free. The slaves with hope and a will to escape often did with the twin lamps, but the ones with no hope were bound forever in slavery, saying “no, there is no hope for us”.

Very interesting take on Dagon! Was a little disappointed you didn't go into the Leaper Demon King though.

The quest to get his dagger in oblivion was super cool.

Whether he's good or evil, that razor of his is my favorite so I'll worship him until a better dagger arrives lol.

You cannot escape the master's vigilance!

Hope..."you keep using that word...I don't think it means what you think it means"

This is an interesting theory/info- video on Dagon. But even though I myself may not be in position to speak this, as I do not know much about Dagon, I still personally feel like linking him to "hope" and "liberation" is a bit far stretched. Sure, his followers, like the Mythic Dawn may see it like that, plus that it's also interesting how Dagon is also related to natural destruction. And yes, in the natural disasters destruction-sense, he does seem less evil as they say that from flames and destruction life is born anew. But then again, in all those times I remember venturing into Dagons Oblivion planes, I saw no hope or new life to follow in such destruction, plus all of the suffering of creatures and mortals that could never ever be justified. Sure. natural destructions are like this too, but the the difference between natural destructions and Dagon is that Dagon does this deliberately. He deliberately destroys because he wants to take over Tamriel, maybe destroying to create something new? But then the next question would be, would that new Tamriel be the new hopeful place for every living creature on Tamriel? Sure, destroying corrupted authorities seems sorta well and good, but from all of my playithroughs of Oblivion, I never saw the Emperor (whom then had to be murdered) to be corrupted as he seemed quite kind and wise. Or where there other authorities around him who had the real power and reign? Or was the Septim family murdered just because of their Dragon Blood which kept Oblivion gates from connecting to Tamriel? No matter, it just seems like such a shame, and all the suffering to so many innocent ones... So much for that new hope and paradise of Dagons... Maybe I am going too deeply into this, but what I like about your videos is that (as many others in the comments has already said) they open up for deep discussions about the ES-lore like this.

mehrunes dagon demands I start calling sweetrolls rolls of sweetness I must be a useful tool and obey

I’m glad to see someone is still talking about ES.

Mehrunes Dagon is my favorite of the Daedric Princes.

I wonder if he uses two bars on the bench press or just switches between pairs of arms

I got two ideas for your next Things we want in Elder Scrolls 6 video. And you will be doing one. 1. How would you improve/change/overhaul the races unique abilities/powers and resistance. 2.I don't know if you done this one our something like it already but if there is small city or town destroyed like Kvatch/Helgan that mild or late game you could become the lord mayor, Governor or whatever fancy title you like.And rebuilt it over time rather like the Hearthfire DLC than say Fallout 4 settlement system.

Divayth Fyr only ever dealed with two Daedra, Mehrunes Dagon and Azura.

His blade which he rewards you in skyrim is looking badass.

Drew strikes again

beautifully written!

Thoroughly interesting. When a video on Akatosh itself?

True fudgemuppet is the best elder scrolls KZfaqr🔥

So, Dagon wants us to seize the means of production? (And then have those means seized again?)

“Even Dagon himself is the very image of brutality”? That title belongs to the prince of BRUTALITY lord molag bal.

Woah. This deadra seems so cool. Bethesda should make a game that revolves around an invasion of Meh'runes Dagon on Tamriel. That would be cool.

i never saw Meh'rune dagon portrayed like this ever before ! i like it !

What if mehrunes dagon was the one who told that guy to get the emperor assassinated.

Got home from school and i see my fav daedra.. my day just got much better.. thanks guys!!

Daedric Prince of Destruction, Revolution & Ambition.

Can you make a wind build like windshear weapon, whirlwind cloak, visage of misund and the tornado shout ?

The Leaper Demon King. Humiliated by the Devourer and cursed with the name Dagon.

3:25 this xivilai's moonwalk needs a lot more practice lol

Mehrunes Dagon is the Necessary Evil.

4 minute intro? Fudge, you're getting pretty good at storytelling all of your own.

I find it highly unlikely that Dagon, being the incarnation of Change, did not purposefully cause the end of the Cyrodiilic Empire in some way or another.

Have you done a video on the Mage and his apprentice that explored the deadric realms?

The dawn is breaking Greet the new day

We need Mehrunes Dagon more than ever today.

Summary of Dagon - Those who don’t want change are either in charge telling subordinates they’re in a great place, or are too weak to rise up and fight for themselves and therefore should be purged along with the nobles.

That dagger did look good on a stealth build 🤤

If one translates the daedric script for “Mehrunes Dagon” to English they get Karl Marx.

Ummm Lord Dagon we could use some destructive liberation right about now.

As a retired Khajiit mercanary, this one enjoys listening to your videos. They make it a lot easier to learn about the Deadra than reading about them from the hundreds of novels Khajiit used to find in Nordic ruins.

Change. Energy. Hope. Excellent.

you should cover the oblivion "crisis" that happened in the black marsh

Brilliant

Wow what an interesting plot twist, not sure everyone will get it though.

The elder scrolls could make such an amazing cinematic universe 😂

Make a Nord Necromancer build, the perspective head of the Skyrim Order of the Black Worm.

I *hope* to see you in the next video

I would like an Elder Scrolls game that takes place during either the Merethic Era, the First Era during the middle dawn or just some time before the Thrassian Plague so that we could potentially see races that were wiped out, or during the Reman Dynasty near the end of the FIrst Era. Hopefully, we can eventually get multiple games that take us back in time because I would also like a game set during the Second Era before the Interregnum because the Knahaten Flu had not taken place yet and it would be interesting to see at least a part of Cyrodill when it was a jungle. I would hope that if they were to take us back in time, they would give a setting in sections or fully in multiple provinces. I feel like they could do so much with just one province tho, so I don't see us ever getting a full Valenwood/Elsweyr combo in a game. It would be cool to go back in time, though so no matter what I won't complain

Woke up at 7:30am, watches this. Perfect way to wake up lol.

You should do a video on Lyg itself.

What a hero!

Maybe a video about ogres and goblins and why they don't appear in Skyrim?

Now I finally could a copy of The Witcher 3, so I decided to check my other favourite medieval high fantasy games, I really late to the party, but is was really hard to get a very good repack copy, and good thing that CDPR provide one.

Mehrunes Dagon is one of the coolest Daedra. Love a good revolution. I just wish he'd smash the Cyrodill empire already.

Greetings Fudgemuppet! Drew here...

I *hope* to see you in the next video...
