M’aiq thinks there should be a top 10 M’aiq quotes

Dwemer Tonal Architects: screw the daedra we'll make our own artifacts Daedric Princes: no need make our own artifacts we'll just take the dwemers

Suggestion for when you start running low on trivia: Skyrim Book Club, talking about the individual books in the game, what they are, how they connect to the larger universe, etc.

What I find unsettling is that I have never seen Nazeem in the cloud district

Most unsettling of all: The idea theres not many tiny details and mysteries left

Me: Does everything in Skyrim Nate: Here are five more mysteries you may have missed Me: *Goes back and checks and sees I missed.* Also me: How does he do that?

Last time I was this early, I was ambushed trying to cross the border.

No one: Absolutely no one on this earth: Nate: "If he was well trained, it's impossible that he was MURDERED TO DEATH by a skeever"

One mystery is how you find so many mysteries.

Isn’t pretty weird how that guy acts when you give him back the golden claw.

The mystery that's been plaguing me since the first time in the College of Winterhold is who exactly is the Augur of Dunlain and what was the incident that turned him into the orb of light we saw in the questline?

I have to admit I never found that desecrated imperial guy in all of my playthroughs

Me: Ive finally found them all. I can finally put Skyrim down. Epic Nate: 5 more little details you may have missed. Me: By Sithis!

I wished that there was a cure for the Snow Elves to transform in their elves form...

The real mysteries are: Who did put all those candles in grottos, caverns and even Draugr's tombs? And who really is Nate? For the latter I think he's just from actual Skyrim and managed to get in our realm.

Most unsettling of all is how you still haven't made it to the Cloud District.

Nate the Soul Cairn Word Wall DOES have a small purpose! That's where Durnehviir hangs out at when hes not called into Tamriel by the Dragonborn.

These are my theories for the volendrung and spellbreaker: Volendrung: There are many orc tribes in and around Hammerfell, so maybe when the dwarves dissapeared some orcs entered their ruins and found the hammer and offered it to Malacath. Spellbreaker: When the dwarf tribe left Morrowind they most likely brought along some snow elf slaves. So when the dwarves dissapeared the snow elves, changing into falmer at this point, offered the shield to Peryite in hopes he would cure them back to being snow elves.

My theory is that when Durnheviir (or however you spell it) agreed to come to the soul cairn, he somehow brought his word wall. Most word walls have a dragon guarding them, so maybe it was the one he guarded beforehand. Maybe it Even contained the soul tear shout he teaches us.

I suspect the word wall has something to do with the dragon you encounter in the Soul Cairn. I forgot his name, I think it's Durnevheir which I'm definitely spelling wrong Remember he willingly traveled to the soul cairn in order to deal with the ideal masters and improve upon his necromancy, and he did this thousands of years prior when dragons still roamed the land Getting into the Soul cairn requires a portal and even an offering of some part of the caster for it to activate, such as with Valerica's portal which needed her blood If this is Durnevhiers word wall, as dragons do seem to be bound to them, if not just for a place to roost, then it could have a component of how he traveled to the soul cairn Valerica's portal is clearly not the only way to reach the dimension of the ideal masters, and the delicate practise of alchemy doesn't look like something a dragon can really master The word walls are inscribed with shouts along with epitaphs, and they do hold a power within the words scrawled into the rock That could likely be the way in which he opened a portal to the soul cairn, perhaps by making the word wall a portal itself And because he's trapped there and had been for thousands of years, the portal has long since closed and is now derelict and half-buried into the desolate lands It's just another piece of the dead, wasteland of the dimension

Nate doing an asmr video of him just saying murdered to death for 10 hours when, Nate?

I was literally just thinking "I wonder when is a new epicnate video is coming out?" Then I got a notification.

Another unsettling mystery: Where did this dude in the quest in cydna mine in markath hid the shiv he gives us and do we wanna touch it?

“The leaves have begun whittling” Laughed so hard at that! I think you meant wilting, but picturing some flowers whittling is glorious

Skyrim: 5 Ways To Read The Lusty Argonian Maid in The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim

I just assumed that the word wall is Durnivhir's (sp), and it came with him, when he was summoned to the Soul Cairn.

14:31 I imagine it happend like this: Peryite and Malacath *doing their morning stroll together as usal* Malacath: Yo Peryite, look over there isn't there a nice hammer and shield lying on the ground? Peryite: Damn right Malacath let's take those with us, you can have the hammer I like the shield more. Malacath: Nice going buddy I love hammers!

"More gods than you can count on your fingers" *Laughs in Dungeons & Dragons*

Nothing can make me unsettled considering your Fundo is tomorrow and we're fighting malaria with those proceedes!

The Eldergleam might be an offshoot of The Hist or maybe have some connection to Kyne?

The real mystery: Does Nate even have a life? Or does he just live to find Skyrim info for us?

Everyone else: How does he find all these new things? Me: He's using Heartstone armor from Konahrik's Accourtrements in the thumbnail, nice

Another mystery: why are children immortal

"more gods then I can count on my finger" you underestimate how much fallout I play

That desiccated corpse in Solitude was a snack for Sybille Stentor.

Regarding the word wall, my theory has always been that each word wall has either a dragon, or dragon priest attached, right? Well, there is the ghostly dragon in the Cairn. I always suspected that the dragon's Wall, being a memorial or tomb, had an unbreakable connection to said dragon. When the dragon was brought there, it's wall went with it. Removed from Nirn, the magic inherent there was stripped away. Any powers it had in "life" were lost, and it became forgotten and ruined, a relic of a lost dragon. Any word it might have once carried was likely torn away, as the dragon itself likely destroyed the wall. Seen as a mocking reminder of the life and power the dragon had lost to the thief with the soul stone, it likely burned and clawed at the wall in rage, until nothing was left but the blank ruin.

The mystery of how Nate still finds all this time, and how he keeps me interested! Awsome content!

I always thought that the eldergleam might be related to the hist trees somehow

Ok two things: 1. Peryite says his shield is of dwemer make in his question if you ask what do you get in return for doing his quest. 2. What about the word wall in sovengarde? Anyone else curious about that one?

I think my dad was a dwemer... You know why..

Watching all of epicnate's Skyrim videos has made me play Skyrim again. Even got me into modding the game graphically so my eyes don't hurt haha. Thanks Nate!

NATE! I clicked on this video when it was "2 seconds ago", am I qualified for notification recognition?

When you think about it, they're called Deadric *princes* I always liked to speculate that there could, at some point, have been something along the lines of Deadric Kings, or a differing type of deity along the line of the Princes. Great video as usual Nate :) Keep it up.

The Word Wall was likely brought to the Soul Cairn when Durnehviir first sought an audience with the Ideal Masters. Between the inter planar transfer, time and the dragon using it as a perch, it likely became unusable as a result. Its also possible that Durnehviir may have just gotten bored and decided to try carving one himself.

Damn, i spent many years playing skyrim but i never found the dead body in imperial armor!

Could that have been Durnehviir's word wall at some point?

Theory about the Wooden Mask: what if it’s actually an artifact of Akatosh, and its ability is to harness the power of a dragonbreak within a specific space, likely chosen by Akatosh himself. Akatosh believes that if he hides the Konahriik mask in a dangerous place, maybe a powerful hero of Tamriel would find it one day and use its powers for good. for mor information about dragonbreaks, there are a few videos on the subject (although i personally recommend fudgemuppet’s video on them)

Dont know what I'm proud of more.. My 10 year old passing all his classes with A's. Or the fact he is 60 hours into skyrim and has built 2 homes, married and has never taken an arrow to the knee. :)

I wouldn't wonder if the world wall in the soul cairn has to do something Durnehviir. To mock him even more.

“Massive gathering of pilgrims” = 2 pilgrims 😂

“Their grubby little supernatural hands” - that line killed me! Haha 😂 Comedy Gold!

The wooden mask could’ve been the original mold used to press into something for them to make the named masks shapes from

17:44 *THAT EPIC MOUSE CLICK*

I LITERALLY didn't even know you could get a sapling, I thought that was a mod..... I must be terrible, I always got the sap from stabbing the Gildergreen 😭

i really appreciate the fact you still do so many skyrim videos even though its already been a few years. these videos actually made me come back to skyrim

>Unsettling mysteries >This tree is really old and self aware Wot?

a detail you might have missed is the book "withershins" a reference to the Scottish adverb, widdershins. which means to walk in a direction contrary to the sun's course, considered as unlucky; anticlockwise. in withershins, If one reads the first letter of the first word spoken every time a character talks, it becomes apparent just why Zaki believed that every conversation flowed in alphabetical order, and it even explains why he questions some of his responses, due to the fact that he feels they had to start with the correct letter of the alphabet.

I found that Imperial Corpse in Solitude while using the mod "Undeath" and playing through the questline to become a Lich and I assumed it was part of the mod,as you can get what is esentially The TMNT's Sewer Lair for Necromancers and thought it was part of the mod as it's told through notes and journals that you aren't the first necromancer to inhabit that lair and I thought it was just part of the mod as a nice little detail

Another unsettling mystery: I have a friend in real life named Nate who has almost the exact same voice, but who is a different guy. :thinking:

Nate on the Gildergreen -"It's flowers have begun whittling" I'm real excited to see what those flowers were able to whittle lol.

Always love the way you say "Soul Karen".

Lightning hit the gildergleam, Danica tells the npc that wants to tag along this when you are in front of them. It's not "sick".

Your Skyrim videos inspired me to finally make a new character and try out quests I blew off the last time I played through, thanks for that :)

I just re downloaded Skyrim, and I’m super new and I want to learn more. These videos are great for lore, guides, and e.t.c. You earned a new subscriber

Mystery 1: How is Nazeem always so early? This secret is hidden in the cloud district. But you never go there anyway... Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh, what am I saying.. Of course you don’t.

The largest mystery is how many tiny details and mysteries does skyrim have? Will we be able to document them all before TES6?

I love the way you feed us the info in digestible pieces, feels like absorbing a dragon soul

There are times when I get bored of Skyrim, but there will never be a time when I get bored of watching these videos. Thank you

I seem to recall that the Argonians worship something called Hist-trees, which allegedly have strange abilities. Could the Eldergleam be one of them? Anyone who knows more about this?

Word Wall probably came with Durnahving the dragon who made a deal with the ideal masters. Probably the shout he teaches the player

Oh, I know! Let's ask the Dragon Priests about the wooden mask! :) Oh wait, I already killed them all and took their masks. :/ Oh wait, I Soul Trapped them all, so they'll be in the Soul Cairn! :) Oh wait, they're all mad at me because I Soul Trapped them all, and now they're stuck in the Soul Cairn. :/

Maybe the Mysterious Imperial was actually the first victim of the necromancer in Meridias temple. Maybe in the first drafts of Skyrim, he held Meridias beacon that began the quest in the first place, rather than in being in some randomly spawned chest in the game (but this ultimately changed in the final version of the game by the developers for some reason).

"Throw another log on the fire and let's begin." **puts a log in the fire** Now how did he know I had a warm roaring fire for my own use... more important question: where is that body?

Hi Nate! Love your videos, they keep me entertained at work. I love hearing about the lore, details and theories of Skyrim. I haven't found any clear answers online and haven't seen this come up in any of your videos so far... So maybe this can be another mystery or tiny detail! Why does Kodlak have a daedric heart?

"more gods that you can count on your fingers!" ....... I have more than 8 fingers!

One other mystery is the falmer lying next to a female nord

Maybe The Real 5 Unsettling Mysteries Were the Friends We Made Along the Way.

I forgot about this channel and I’m back and i feel at home. Thanks Nate for the thing you do. It makes people happy.

Hey, maybe the disintegrated corpse was also part of the experiment of the mage, and was just left there and the skeever tried to eat the corpse but was "poisoned" by its "dark magic"...

I have over 200 hours of gameplay in Skyrim and he still surprise me every-time

What if the dwarves somehow became the dadric gods by time travel or some other technology. That would explain the hammer and shield.

"A massive gathering of pilgrims" ... 2, there are 2 pilgrims in there, plus Maurice, who follows you.

I don’t know why, but your videos give me so much serotonin and I just wanted to thank you for making quarantine a bit better

I could scream its the first time i ever understood where this damn place for the masks is exactly located and the only character i have all masks with is my first on Skyrim Goty PS3 which broke yesterday... Well now i have a new goal... Get this masks on the switch too...

The origins of the wooden mask? Hmm, I wooden't know...

Great video as always. Regarding the word wall i think it could have been the one for the Dragonrend shout in a previous age of Tamriel. I look forward to another 5 unsettling Skyrim mysteries video. Keep safe, regards Gary.

A idea for a mystery in the next vid: how many goddamn guards have had a arrow shot into their knee

"La-brin-thee-an" Seriously, Nate?

A mask more convenient than a Delorean?? PFFFFTT

I think this is the first time in a long while i learnt something new from Nates videos, I never knew you could pray for a new sapling.

The lore from Morrowind onward is absolutely insane, you could probably spend your entire life looking into it and still not know everything about the games. Like, the lore answers questions no one would ever even think to ask, like, they even give the information as to why it’s a video game with the whole Dreamer nonsense. It’s off the walls insane and I love it.

With the third mystery, it looks like the skeever and the Imperial guard are near a manhole. Could it be that the imperial was holding a torch too near the sewer entrance and got torched by a pocket of methane that happened out of the sewer? Alternately, it could've been a murder done by the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood with the skeever left as a means of coverup.

Bold of you to assume I have a fireplace

its probably just Durnehviir's word wall, you do tend to find dragons near word walls that are not underground after all.

Me when Nate uploads: A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Mercs, bandits and rogue mages in skyrim be like: Dear diary, we had nice breakfast today.....

Another great video! Thanks for giving me something else to look forward to, I appreciate it.

I've played a sickening amount of Skyrim over the past 8 years and never found the dead imperial behind Angelines Aromatics. Take my like, you've earned it

The story of my Skyrim is full of starting new game, adding like 10 mods every day, until it completely breaks to the point of reinstalling a fresh copy. rince and repeat :D
