Skyrim's Giants have always been one of the more mysterious inhabitants of the nine holds. Beyond their large stature, giants in The Elder Scrolls are surrounded by a number of more terrestrial mysteries as well. They practice a unique, strange culture, share both human and elven characteristics and hold a strange grudge with Malacath.
Thus today we explore Skyrim's biggest (B'dum 'tss) mystery as we investigate the origins and nature of Tamriel's Giants

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. - Acts 3:19 If you’re in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna/Rpc, Urcna, or a canrc church (These are conservative and actual Presbyterian churches) If you can’t find one of the conservative presby churches then, maybe a Lcms Lutheran church. If you are Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC. (Different from the Church of Scotland) If you’re English I recommend the Free Church of England (Different from the Church of England) Also online you can look up church finders for each of the groups, it will show you locations

Idk if anyone else has brought this up, but I've a theory? The Talking Stones might be a literal meaning? "Talking Stones" the stones where giants come to 'Talk', maybe like a Moot area? You have until/begin when the sun sets between the two stones to speak. Additionally, Secunda's Kiss, it might be a Lunar calendar? They watched the moons set behind the Mountain and watched the moons phases, marking 16 stones for each of the two Moons 8 phases? (Honestly just a hypothesis, but I thought it might be something to bring up!!)

@linogden4608 4 ай бұрын

Watched more lol sorry more theories!! So, adding into the Giant's drawings of the Swirls/Marks of Death - if I'm remembering correctly - Shor/Lorkhan was considered the Alpha and Omega to Nords, so there could be a connection or a reason to the fact Giants worship the Swirls too outside of common ancestors. Wasn't Lorkhan (admittedly in Khajiit mythology) called the Dark Heart when his heart was ripped out, which then became the moons? Not a big addition, just a curious thought!!

Yamarz was able to take down the giant completely on his own... well, at least until the Giant got to about 10% of his HP left, then he remembered he was supposed to fight back, then he one-shot Yamarz. But it was the first time I genuinely wasn't lying when I told Atub that Yamarz fought bravely.

Given how the lore seems to suggest men and mer were one race at one point I can believe the Nordic giants being a divergent human clan. As for frost giants...to me they look like enormous, horned trolls. Especially if you compare them with frost trolls. And one of the sources for trolls is the wood elf wild hunts. So perhaps not so far off the mark to see frost giants as the elf equivalent to Nordic giants

@cplhazard2113 4 ай бұрын

Considering Giants are shown living semi sedentary nomadic lives, I'd say Guldun rock is a religious site, two offering fires surrounded by offerings and sacrifices from around Skyrim brought by Giant pilgrims, it would explain the beacon fire on the platform. Also Giants are pretty self sufficient so I doubt they are trading there, rather they most likely leave their offerings there for spiritual protection on their camps and cattle which is why they arnorn them with markings, perhaps it's a form of primal magic which requires being connected with those rocks and perhaps the Spirits inhabiting them.

@cplhazard2113 4 ай бұрын

To add onto this perhaps it's the reason Atmoran descendants care so much about the lands they inhabit, we need more Human and Nature interaction within Elder Scrolls, the Elves and Argonians aren't the only beings connected with natural phenomenon.

It's well established lore (though I can't remember if the source is an ingame book, a blurb in ESO or something else) that the frost giant's appearance being similar to Nordic giants is just a coincidence - or perhaps the trick of a Daedra, mocking Shor and his children.

This is actually a great question. I'm leaning more towards the ancient Nordic size like Ysgramor and Tsun(well he's a god but still) for the origins of the Keepers. But didn't the Ideal Masters only crafted the Soul Cairn after they were Ascended into Ideal Masters? They were just mortal necromancers who had a lot of power. Did they craft and build sad architecture themselves or did they make the souls trapped in their domain build it? Cause the souls inside the Soul cairn are not just nords, but also of different races. I don't think the other races know how to build said architectures unless the Ideal Masters gave them a blueprint or the ideal Masters literally sucked some old Atmoran buildings from Tamriel.

Perhaps the giants were an elite magic wielding race that lived and worked with the Nords and through the dulling of their minds they lost some of that. They still retain their telepathy and so never speak and their "strength" is actually a manifestation of that telekinesis, as they put their will into action. As in they can't levitate rocks as they once did but rather think "I need to throw this boulder at his guy" and suddenly they are able to throw it.

@funfsinn14 4 ай бұрын

to add to your levitation theory one can perhaps surmise that the reason for the wacky physics when a player is hit and ragdolls flying hundreds of feet in the air is connected to the levitation magic and not from the physical blow itself, like it's a latent burst of magic that accompanies the blow intended or not by the giant. Maybe conscious control of the power was lost and so don't see them lifting monoliths but in fits of passion and violence is surfaces as that.

Gjalder, the Father of Lyris Titanborn, actually shows up in the ESO storyline as a ghost, and he talks! So somewhere between ESO and Skyrim SOMETHING happened that made the giants stop talking to humans. Though, it can be argued that Lyris' father was not a full blood giant. His exact line is "The blood of giants flows through my veins. " Which can mean anything really. Also the wiki classifies him as Nord, not Giant.

"Driven into the mountains...and came back different...lesser...." When have we heard that before? Oh, right the snow elf conversion into falmer. I suspect the Dwemmer might also be a piece in this jig-saw.

@stephenlong9806 4 ай бұрын

The Dwemmer also got their names from the giants in the first place. When the giants could still speak and had a more firm cultural heritage, they were the first to call the Dwemer 'Dwarves'.

Perhaps as part of the curse that was levied against Shore's Old Chosen they were given those Elven ears as a sortof grim reminder of their loss.

An amazing video. I’m very glad I found your channel. I’ve been fairly obsessed with Skyrim ever since its first release, and it’s my favourite game of all time. Giants have always been the most interesting beings in the game for me. Your video is the perfect rhythm and depth for this kind of thing. Not too dense, informative, well presented and narrated.

When I saw the rock it looked like an arched, so it made me think of an oblivion gate, and I instantly started thinking that the Giants worship Deidre at this camp. 14:17

I never kill the giants at Fallowstone, just the one at the end, I sneak past the rest. There is a telekenesis spell, so it really isn't that wacky to consider. I am curious how Halted Stream Camp plays into it, as they have a lot of mammoths.

Dragon bones in itself while rare aren't weird to find especially since some dragons literaly had their own graves. Also Saarthal has an undead dragon aswell. It is possible they found the bone by chance.
