I accidentally pressed publish, so this video is online 6 hours early. Please don't kill me algorithm :)

So you’re telling me that the Hero of Kvatch with a modded AK-47 and Nuke spell is technically canonical in the lore?

_The Elder Scrolls_ are indeed quite the meta-gaming artifacts in _The Elder Scrolls_ which has it's fare amount of meta-lore. There is still much about them that is unknown. How many are there? What happens when multiple of them are used next to each other at once? Could they be used to find out the release date of ES6? Will there ever be a game where one is the main point of the story? Well, beyond all that, fascinating video on these esoteric creations.

Huh, I never thought of the games being the scrolls. But it makes sense now it's stated

There's some lore book I stumbled upon in Elder Scrolls Online about a researcher who was trying to document the number and general content of the Elder Scrolls in the Moth Priests' possession ... and the scrolls commenced to behave weirdly at him even without him reading them (not recalling all the details, vaguely recalling that they would vanish, reappear elsewhere in the archive, change category, etc.). When this researcher asked the monks WTH is going on, they gave some answer to the effect that yep, that's just how the scrolls are ... and the researcher wound up applying to be initiated into the Moth Priests. I'm sure someone here will come up with the name of that lorebook ... but in any case, that's when I really got it that those scrolls were a whole other level of strange. 😆

Wow. This is a very clever way to explain them.

Basically the games are just a version of an event. SO we as the players are reading the scrolls and these events already happen.

The simplest way to put is..."knowledge"

I've always been under the impression that the Elder Scrolls are essentially complete logs of the universe existing out of the boundaries of time.

You give me something to look forward to in my day to day life

Just dropping a thought here....WE are the dwemer

Short answer:knowledge

This is why I love these games so much. What other fictional universe has this kind of meta ass lore like this ? Like these scrolls are pretty much interpreted as the minds of the developers themselves, put into the game that they created.

My scroll foretold this video will be uploaded

‘And the scrolls heave foretold of black wings in the cold That when brothers wage war come unfurled. Alduin, bane of kings, ancient shadow unbound With a hunger to swallow the world.’

They exist and don't exist at the same time eh? *Nods in Schrödinger*

The elder scrolls are consistently keeping traces of weirdness in the series, big up to those things

Wonderful video as always!

The scroll at the start looks like a map to the realms of oblivion

Just saying even though they didn't appear an elder scroll did play an important part in arena.

Did you know that one of these scrolls contains our past about the stolen sweetroll?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even though the last dragonborn defeated alduin, he will eventually come return and eat the world in the far future

I like the concept of the elder scrolls, it's so neat

Intesting. It could explain a lot of the difficulty behind reading them. Essentially, the Elder Scrolls are source code! Each of the game(an Elder Scroll) is a source code which can be used to generate endless possibilities. They're the definition of the universes "engine".

Where do you get your information from? Do you ever watch Zaric Zhakaron? He's also considered a "lore beard", so to speak. love your content

So does it say anything about TES6 release date?

So they're kind of windows allowing you to see the threads of destiny flowing through time, to look at the flow of events that can be disturbed or changed by the actual actions. like looking at the mastermind's written complex story, which is simultaneously re-written due to things that happen. like reading the code of actions your CPU is doing right now and what it did in the past and you can intervene into that actual writing by only clicking mouse randomly :D

Do you think these scrolls could make this one a more powerfull mage?

it's simply a very weird way to refer to the game master's material covering the campaign which the players are not supposed to know.

"Have you heard of the elder scrolls?"

The games are called The Elder Scrolls because the games are the Elder Scrolls.

Kinda related (and dumb) question, but are the Elder Scrolls encased in their container by default or were they loose scrolls that were placed in there by mortals for safety reasons?

I have question regarding the Daedric Princes. How powerful are they in powerscaling terms at their greatest? I know that they are atleast above universal in their realms since they can shape it any size or form they wish down from physics to time itself. But objectively are they even higher then what I assume of their power?

Imagine if you could use them as weapons and Blind your opponents.

The Elder Scrolls are cut-content quest logs.

I always thought they were part of Lorkan....

I like the theory that Altmeris is in the Altmer's imagination and doesn't actually exist!

Not to stomp all over your excitement (I do appreciate the thought regarding the Elder Scrolls spreading all across the world), but it still feels extremely odd to think of Aldmeris as an actual continent that is in fact out there somewhere and had any sort of existence beyond being the land mass from which all the continents were formed (via its breaking apart during the Ehlnofey War). The idea of it as some fully developed, highly advanced paradise is almost certainly a cultural delusion or actually purposeful propaganda to culturally reinvent the origin story the Aldmer told themselves after they fled. The only real evidence that points to it having been a real place at all would suggest that Tamriel is the heart of what once was, and that the myth, if anything, probably reflects the original settlement that the Old Ehlnofey lived in, which the Wandering Ehlnofey then stumbled upon, before the war between the two groups was sparked. A truly ancient event and reality, which fits the narrative rather perfectly, other than the Altmer not wanting to accept the idea that Tamriel is (what remains of) the land they left.

First to watch, first to like..

elder scrolls are scripts wrtten by the authors of the game

They aren't important. They were slapped on at the end of development, towards the end of the dawn era as one of Auriels farts.
