- In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we explore the secrets of Yokuda's Sinking.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series and was released worldwide on November 11, 2011. The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim.

Everytime I hear Yokuda, I think of the Yoruba of Nigeria. My families ancestral homeland.They made special steel swords call Ida. When they discovered how to forge steel weapons instead on basic iron it set them apart from the other tribes in thier region of Africa and lead to thier rise forming the old Oyo empire. Our traditional god Ogun gifted us metallurgy to save us from the threat of other tribes.
That’s cool history!
Yea, that’s really cool!
Going to school all you ever learn about is European history and hardly any African history outside of slavery. It's nice to hear about African history
That's really awesome. A great history to look into!
Ogun is a synth in FL studio as well as a god
If ES6 is based in Hammerfell it will only make sense to include some kind of Yokudan story line. Would love to see the unknown secrets of its lore. What life was like for Redgaurds before arriving in Hammerfell.
Can you imagine it as a DLC? An exploration of the ruins of the islands? I feel a mix of FFX and Everquest: Champions of Norrath would be a good approximation.
You mean Yokudans
Yes and the left hand elves 💜
*Yokudans
I want more lore for them too tbh there’s too little of it.
Knowing Bethesda, it would end up being cut content. That, or a incomplete shadow of what it was supposed to be.
I can imagine that the Redgards viewed Yokuda in the same way that Gondorians viewed Numenor.
Yeah I wonder if that was the ES teams inspiration for yokuda
As a fan of both tolkein and elder scrolls I think theyre kindaa similar
Disregarding the fact that the Ansei would have to cut specifically into some sort of fissile material to actually cause a chain reaction, we can't even say for certain that the setting operates on a conventional atomic model of physics. I think it's just as if not more likely that they cut a hole in the fabric of Mundus and released energy from the Aetherius.
To be honest, thats way more impressive 😂
Oh what I'd kill for a game or novel set in Yokuda's golden age....
I don't think we'll ever get an Elder Scroll's game involving a place's "golden age" sadly. I mean just look at Oblivion and Skyrim lol they take place during the worst of times. Hopefully Yokuda has a part in the main quest though.
Personally I like how mysterious Yokuda is. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for just a bit more information but actually seeing it in its golden age would kinda make it less interesting. Exploring the ruins of an entire continent would be fun though
I heard they have curved swords. Curved. Swords.
@@frostfrog6393 The golden age of yokuda was probably the last kalpic cycle and it was probably a larger continent inhabited by all types of men and mer. I don't think the redguards had an entire continent/kalpa exclusively to themselves. In fact I don't really think they're originally from yokuda but probably had HoonDing "make way" for them previously when fleeing more westernly lands
I always thought Yokuda might still exist just in broken up, barely habitable islands like the Santorini volcano that basically forced the Minoans into the Stone Age, and was so devastating that the Titanomachy and the Atlantis myth are likely based on that eruption
I like how more eso footage is in these videos
Yes, enough showing the Sleeping Tree in Whiterun's tundra every time the Argonians and Hist is mentioned. I love Skyrim but sometimes (and especially when directly related), ESO footage is very appreciated.
@@Aethuviel yeah I must've seen that fucking tree a hundred times in fudgemuppet videos
Even though I don't like mmo games so eso I can respect it
@@ciaranmck4469 eso is not a mmo style game anymore
@@JStaal-do5id I mean it's officially a mmo so that's 🧢
@@ciaranmck4469 yeah like skyrim is officialy an rpg, labels dont mean shit game play do
I love the lore in Elder Scrolls. It's so deep.
In the real world something like this really happened. The Minoan Civilization was very powerful in the Bronze age. It was destroyed by the eruption of a volcano. People still live on the island of Crete today but they never achieved that level of dominance again.
No shade on Scott or Michael, but i could listen to Drew all day.
So much yes in this.
Same :)
Well the other 2 sound like twins
Atleast they're all beautiful Men. Id any of them on a date. 😊
I like Drew, not trying to be a little bitch, but all his sentences have the exact same cadence and tone. I might be in the minority, but it sorta drives me nuts. Mix it up, Drew! Love your content and all your good work
I genuinely can't describe the joy I get when I see an new Fudgemuppet video is uploaded 🤣
Me too. Good way to start the day
I can... "sweet roll"
Makes me feel really nostalgic and calm for the duration of the video I love it. Helps me sleep to watch their videos also.
Me too like you just get so ready to see some new lore
i've recently returned to Skyrim, and having fun after a years long absence. Skyrim is the only Elder Scrolls game i've played. i stumbled on this channel and stayed initially for the game tips. However, these lore videos have quickly become my favorite part of the channel. i absolutely love everything about them. i am learning all kinds of fascinating stories beyond just Skyrim and of Skyrim. i especially love these ones narrated by Drew. i enjoy the voice, script, and in-character storytelling. In a way is it both soothing and educational to listen to. i feel like i'm listening to a lore scholar, and it's a wonderful experience. i love your channel. Please keep making these. :)
I’m fairly certain Kirkbride was trying to imply the nuke idea with Pankratosword, but I like the idea that it wasn’t like
That literal
Given how different the physics of Nirn are from our world (what with the provable existence of souls, magic, tonal architecture, chaotic creatia, etc) I’m not entirely sure atoms exist in-universe as we know them? Not saying it’s impossible, just that it would be a little weird
That, and “Cutting the uncuttable” is a very poetic turn of phrase. Yes, it’s an accurate description of nuclear fission, but it could just as easily be used as a reference to, say, Mehrune’s Razor shaving off something’s connection to reality.
Again, not saying it’s not the nuke thing for sure. I just like the idea that it’s a little more metaphorical than that.
I agree. I object the notion that we can just apply any real world physic to fantasy worlds.
Sure there is real world physics in the ES Universe. There's gravity and apparently vulcanic forces and we see stars and moons. But then again, the whole of Nirn is the dream of some sleeping overgod...
@@JH-zs3bs
There also aren't actually any stars, they (as well as the sun) are holes in the sky, and the moons are Shor/Lorkhan's remains.
I think they mean atom in its original sense. The bottom layer, the building blocks of the world, the most basic ingredient. Perhaps they didn't split an atom and cause a nuclear explosion, but rather they cut the foundation of the whole continent, or maybe the very idea of Yokuda itself. It's hard to say whether atoms, in this interpretation of the term's use, refers to the physical makeup of the world or if it goes into even more metaphysical concepts. I mean, "cutting the uncuttable"? Could mean something more abstract than just, y'know. Rebar and big stones.
If TES 6 is set in Hammerfell like people seem to think,I'd love the chance to explore Yokudan Ruins and Tombs. Just imagine the possibilities!
There will be a DLC for that!
@@laurynasg9932 Let's hope not
Given that tes6 will likely be taking place after skyrim, if there are any yokudan tombs we visit i reckon they would have been looted ages ago.
@@ThePresidentofMars you can still find ancient tombs in skyrim.
Not saying you wont find them just that they probably would have been looted long ago
Vivec wanted to make Cyrus the Restless his *wife*
👀💦
I mean, i would too. He's like the hottest thing in Aurbis lmfao
It doesn't seem too far out of the realm of posibility that either could be a reality, both the sword spliting of atoms or some of Yokuda surviving. I believe that until stated a lot is left up to the player's imagination for roleplaying narratives as well as just wanderlust. It's nice to imagine the posibility of being able to see these places again. Just like the Dwemer we may never actually know the whole truth of the matter and that, in a way, makes it more interesting.
Doubtfull. The freezing over of Atmora should rather lowered the sea leavel. It is however possible that Youkuda was very low over the sea level and simple erosion destroyed it. This happens for real in some places of the world. This could destroy the kontinent leaving behind only an archipelago of was once the highlands.
well when a continent gets pulled into the ground, water level doesnt really matter. since it would imply yokuda fell into a chasm.
@@meg0ros300 That would be a slow process. Maybe there where massive caverns below the kontinent that simply collapsed?
@@michaelpettersson4919 well... IF magic was involved, with these "stone mages" many things are possible, otherwise yeah, probs a giant cavern underneath it.
Disasters don't just happen in Nirn. Atmora was pummeled with show storms by The Hawk/Kyne (or possibly the All-maker) for the Nords' dragon worship and unsustainable lifestyle. Similarly, Yokuda sunk because the sword singers acquired the power to destroy all of the gods' creation.
Whatever happened, I like to think after Kyne's people (the Nords) betrayed her, she turned her attention to the Yokudans and helped them find their way to Tamriel as "Tava." Kyne is particularly interested in preserving nature, so I can see her being more than willing to distance the Redgaurd from the libraries of their homeland so they could be less of a threat.
Great theory! It dovetails with my theory that the Nords made a deal with alduin to live in atmora and worship him so that they didnt get eaten in the last kalpa. This couldve seemed like a cowardly betrayal to kyne or shor
i love the hammerfell lore content cant wait for tes6
It is possible that 'sank' could refer to the sands as well! deserts are often likened to oceans and a civilization that 'sank' into the sands via the cataclysm.
It might also be that 'sank' could be more metaphorical: 'civilization sank back to the stone age after cataclysm'. etc.
Perhaps the 'sank' refers to the cataclysm messing up the weather patterns of the area and they suffered a great flood etc. (Which would tie nicely to the lore of the Redguard fleeing on ships. And mythologies do so love Great Floods, it seems interesting that I can't think of one being mentioned in the Elder Scrolls.)
Just some random thoughts XD Amazing video!
It would be cool or intense to see a podcast episode with Michael Kirkbride if AllInAll got him for that song so can you guys lol but love the podcasts it’s cool 😎
The explanation for the lighthouse keeper is pretty obvious: Ships set sail from there looking for Yokuda. Just because it's known that Yokuda sank doesn't mean everyone agrees. There are bound to be people that doubt and set sail, hoping to find traces of Yokuda themselves.
Makes me super stoked that you guys at Fudgemuppet are finally embracing ESO. I know it takes some getting used to but if only for love of lore alone, it's worth paying attention to.
(Even though I do genuinely enjoy all game content)
The first year of ESO was the best. The alliance wars were actually competitive
@@BetheLightCS Strange considering all I've ever heard is that when ESO started it was awful, mind you I never played it then.
@@lryiss9407 not sure of the exact timeframe but I just meant that it was best when it was popular and the servers were full
I just don't buy the Sinsteral Mer being evil...
It sounds more like they and the Yokudans were always fighting anyways regardless.
History is written by the victors. That's true for our world and the TES universe too.
Maybe The Yokudan's started the conflict and after winning and presumably wiping out the Sinestral Mer,they portrayed them as evil?
Like Tarlo said victors write the history and unfortunately TES history has proven that the Sinstral like their Altmer brethren (and offshoot brethren Falmer, Dunmer, Dwemer) might have been juiced with the ideas of supremacy leading them to do evil acts in the name of daedra, which lead to Yokudans putting a collective foot in their asses.
Well based off the history of the yakuda they most likely were the more evil ones. The yakudens were like the fist nords. So meny fucking genocides, as in anything that didn’t look like them. Elves, goblins, trolls, sloads, orcs, the crab people, the talking elementals, dwemer, other humans, etc. at least the old elves just enslaved you or were highly, highly territorial, with a penitent to over exsperiment with magic. The og humans were overly brutal
Thou to be honest it was most likely the elves or outside forces like the deadra or sloads who sank the continent. Be it for pride or their own perpuses.
@@kevind3974 True in most cases except with the altmer thwy did horrific things to the Nedic tribes of men.
Me and a few friends were taslking about the theory that the "sinking" of yokuda might of not had such literal meaning. Maybe the sinking was of their country and homeland after loosing a war and them escaping into the sea was the sinking of their culture and country. Also it was stated in lore somewhere that the left handed elves were powerful in earth magic....if it did really sink, maybe it was brought back up? Or some parts of it was protected. Hopefully we will find out one way or the other some day. :)
Plus theirs also the sloads and deadra to deal with. The sloads live around that area and the deadra have stolen islands before.
The Sword-Singers really are the TES equivilent of Jedi aren't they?
Not really but they are really cool
Jedi are fodder in comparison to Sword-Singers.
@@Rodiacreed uh no a jedi would clap a swordsinger but swordsingers are cool
@@grifcheese1076 well technically any person in elder scrolls could clap a jedi if they use kinetic weapons and flame spells. Mandalorian used to use them as anti jedi weapons during the war.
@@eltacothemagnificent1029 you're under estimating their power
To cut atomos doesn't necessarily mean to split atoms in a nuclear physics sense. Also, splitting some atoms doesn't necessarily result in a nuclear chain reaction, which wouldn't be enough to sink or destroy a continent. The pankratosword technique cuts the uncuttable, that which (supposedly) cannot be devided. The laws of nature, as Cyrus says. Earthbones. That could maybe sink Yokuda
Thats dope, when does cyrus say that?
It's crazy how deep The Elder Scrolls Lore is. Imagine if we eventually got to play on or find substantially more out about Yokuda, Akavir, Atmora, etc
I would do anything for a game in Akavir. *Anything.*
Michael Kirkbride does exaggerate and try to create a lot of mystery when he comes up with TES lore, but I trust him on most things. Would be interesting for him to come on the podcast and talk with Scott, Michael, and Drew, kinda like the AllInAll podcast but maybe talk about the development of Morrowind and his parts of Oblivion such as Knights of the Nine, what happened in the Middle Dawn, or what he imagined was happening in Akavir in the Third/Fourth Era (and other mysterious) places while he was working on the development of Morrowind and helping write the lore for Oblivion and how that has changed in 2021 just as an idea
I wish dude
I wanna see the What If Story where the Dwemer have not yet disappeared and are still there when the Redguards arrive.
ayoo ❤️ can’t wait for the next Camelworks collab eh? ;)
Those dark blue night skies shown periodically in the video (presumably from ESO's version of Hammerfell) are absolutely breathtaking and I hope they are a frequent occurence in TES6.
his cut was so sharp , he cut Yokuda from the map
Yalls videos somehow keep me absolutely captivated yet could lull me into solid sleep. Thanks for the lore!
There is an ESO in-game book called The Ubiquitous Sinking Isle that is tied into this, It takes the position that none of the islands sank, and that it is a bit of poetic license by the writers.
So, does this mean that Yokuda is Schrodinger's continent? We don't know whether it's above or below the sea until we observe it?
If applying schrodingers logic then yokuda is both above and below sea level until observed.
Man, nuke swords sounds so nice. I need this.
it didnt sink ,it merely flooded to the point were no one can find it
Maybe it only partially sunk/flooded?
or maybe covered in ice
Or maybe some small island
Just wanted to say how much I absolutely love your voice content and presentation and keep me coming back to skyrim and oblivion keep up the amazing work
My man is still making these holy crap keep it up.
I head-canon that Yokuda is in a similar state to Hyrule in Windwaker (but likely without the protective magic), and while it is currently underwater the peaks of its former mountains exist now as islands with populated towns and perhaps even cities. This would explain why its still destroyed but can still have people still existent and it would explain the seafaring nature of the Redguards.
My day always a hell of a lot better when the 3 kings upload another TES video
Isn't Vivec somehow involved in the Yokudan cataclysm? You can read of it in one of the 36 Lessons (I don't remember exactly which one, sorry xD). Basically it says that he went there with Nerevar, then he took some Yokudan kings and made them pregnant and some kind of monster came out of it. Very weird stuff.
Im a dunmer through and through. But even the beauty of mournholds lofty towers always leave me missing my winter home in the alik'r. Hammerfells architecture is stunning to me. I can only imagine how in love id fall with yokuda during its heights. The greatest works of architecture are always hidden amidst sand and ash.
Seriously tho they did such a good job on hammerfell in eso i doubt theyll top it in es6. Still my favorite region to visit.
hammerfell in eso is so beautiful
Wow I never knew that the forbidden sword technique involved splitting up atoms
If there’s one good thing I can definitely say about ESO it’s that the music is amazing
I feel like Yokuda still exists as Islands like we have seen on maps and depicted in the mod Elder Kings for Crusader Kings
Not to be dramatic or anything but I’d die for this channel. Y’all are the backbone of my sanity
@@Gabriel-lh9xy L comment.
Build idea: mage knight with ward and bound sword, crusades / wanders around Skyrim helping people and giving food to beggars.
I have been watching Fudgemuppet since 2018, and boy is it a great joy when another video drops♥️
This reminds me a lot of the disappearance of the dwemer. One incredibly powerful tool, used once, creating a cataclysm that broke time and space itself. Because the dwarves were telepathic, the tone created by beating the heart of lorkhan rang loudly through the entire dwarven race making them vanish in an instant. With Yokuda a sword cut the fabric of space making the ground itself fall through.
Why would you consider Elder Scrolls Adventures Redguard non-cannon? Pretty sure the events are referenced in the main series. Not to mention it was published and developed by Bethesda. If ESO is cannon, so is Redguard.
I think it's canon yet part of it's have been retconned. Like Arena
@@wiibrockster What's been retconned? In-game events that is, disregarding the Pocket Guide that came with it.
Nice, I was just looking through your old vids to see if there was anything to watch
Interesting video! Thanks for uploading!
Interesting to note that in Oblivion, Yokuda was still a thing and Elder Scrolls Online is based approx. 400 years before. So shouldn't the continent of Yokuda be in ESO...? Love your work Drew, great research and storytelling. Your the best.
So close to a million subs
I love you guys
I was watching one of your videos recently and Michael Kirkbride’s Koda was briefly mentioned. I know it’s not cannon to TES but it would be pretty cool to see a video covering it
Loved the vid btw
Me: *wakes up*
FudgeMuppet: "DID YOKUDA REALLY SINK??"
Me: ...."long pause*....
Me: "DID IT??" 😅😂
sigh, i read the title as "Did Yokuda REALLY stink?!"
The answer *may* shock you.
same
My theory is that along with the capital and main islands most of the arable land went with it meaning food shortage afterward that probably killed most survivors. The remnant populations on the surviving islands likely live in small little enclaves that require trade with places like anvil to survive long term.
I watch these when they drop. But then come back to the elder scrolls playlist and listen to it as I fall asleep. Its either this or the podcast lmao
Ah, Drew. The silken voiced FudgeMuppet.
awesome vid, as always.
Frankly, a lot of what they reference sounds like a massive tidal wave hit Yokuda. It's possible it's still there and just decimated on the surface. Doesn't change much other than a lifeless landmass being out there tho.
From a geological standpoint, it's impossible to "sink" a continent. You can flood it, but unless the entire planet's sea level rises, the flooding of a continent will be temporary at most. And flooding an _entire_ continent is pretty much impossible. Even in the most apocalyptic situations where both of Earth's ice caps melt entirely, only lowland and coastal areas are lost.
And I doubt even a magical sword that can create an atomic explosion would would somehow increase the entire planet's sea level in such a way that _only one_ continent is flooded.
I think it's less that it "sunk" and more that it was obliterated. But also this is a world of magic where swords can cause nukes so it probably doesn't play by conventional real world physics
Well then how about stealing an island. That’s happens before with the island of eyevea. Straight up got dragged into the shivering isle. Plus sloads have sunk an island before
Real world phisics are only one possibility in a world of myth and magic.
Had the worst lab today, happy to come home to a fudgemuppet video. Thanks guys, you’re doing Talos’ work
Did you just say *talos?*
Deserts are often overdone in games. Skyrim was not a entirely snow covered map even tho lorewise you would think that. I really hope es6 is not egyption and arab themed out the butt, but rather shows diversity and creativity.
Don't get me wrong,I'd love to explore cities with Arab and Egyptian influence in their design but exploring the Redguards more Japanese inspired history and traditions would be interesting.
Bogus, there's few Arabian good RPGs.
@@wiibrockster The Akaviri are the Japanese inspired ones. Yokuda is based on The Middle East.
It’s based on the moors of Spain. Similar to Nords having a liking to Vikings.
I hope the maritime life is depicted well.
Well in eso The Warrior does state when starting the fight with him in Hel Ra Citadel that the Shehai of a first rank Ansei sank Yokuda, and he's been around since creation basicaly so pretty reliable source.
Considering he's the center piece of the most sacred place of the Yokudan era forteresse he state himself "only first rank Ansei may enter" and the sand warrior (whom some are resurected yokudan it seems) follow he's order like a extremely loyal pupil follow he's masters orders
Safe to assume he created the yokudan warrior culture as he can also pull out a Shehai, if anything he's the last existing first hand source of Yokudan history/culture beside Hermaeus Mora (I doubt he doesn't have any info)
Sword singers swing their swords in nuclear blast rhythm, that is so dope! FudgeMuppet always brightens my day, thank you!!!
5:30 There is evidence that there was sea trade between europe and south america before it's discovery. I wouldn't be surprised if once or twice a year a ship went to Yokuda but it wasn't known or never written about, until an official expedition.
People talking about how long we will have to wait before ES6 launches and here im wondering how long it will be before mod makers will make it a good game, because if you have ANY faith in Bethesda, your mental.
We now know for certain that some of Yokuda still remains, as Mount Hattu is still an active mine as of ESO from an antiquity. What likely happened was that most of Yokuda sank beneath the waves during whatever calamity caused it, but some of the central, higher elevation parts of the island survived the destruction (although whatever civilization remains on the island is likely small and fractured).This is why sources reference the sinking of Yokuda, and it's continued survival. Most of it was wiped out and it's great civilizations are gone, but some islands still remain.
I have said this before you guys have saved my life more than once so I’m forever in your debut
I would love to sit down and talk with a skyrim lore youtuber. I could talk about it all day. still waiting for TES6
You can find Yokuda on world maps of Nirn. It’s likely that Yokuda experienced a severe flood, and didn’t actually sink.
Someone must want the Redguards to think Yokuda did sink, however.
Fresh and crispy
Sound just like fudgemuppet too get us ready for the The Elder Scrolls 6
Patrolling Hammerfell almost makes me wish for a Yokudan winter...
Yup, this is gonna be a good work shift
Realistically in ES6 should have access to at least 2 other oblivion realms or countries similarly to how we practically gained access to The Soul Cairn and basically part of poor Morrowind in Solsthsiem.
If Hammerfell is the setting then I could see it getting paired with either The Summerset Isles(My personal choice) or High Rock.
Although unlikely The Black Marsh or Elswyer are also up for grabs.
I’m seeing a possibility for ES6 to carry a message about nuclear annihilation, this universe truly has everything.
Could be that some of the mountains weren't completely submerged and survived.
I personally like to think someone made a pact kinda somewhat like summerset went through but was saved unlike summerset and the sloads pulled it into the sea
I am pretty sure ESO implied yokuda is from a previous kalpa
The fact that the ancient Yokudans potentially had nuclear weapons is almost too badass to be considered Canon. And that's why I love it! Please, Bethesda! Make this a reality!
What is the power of nuclear weapon compared to the Brass Tower?
@@mariuszsobolewski9839 Detonate one inside the Brass Tower and you see...
I like that both the so called "left hand elves" and the dwemer are survivors of an earlier captcha. Perhaps the same one.
When you have to focus on your exams but there is a new video about one of your favorite lores...!
With a heavy heart add it to your "watch later" list...
Hello fellow Aussie ES fans! 😃🤟
aye o
Heyo! But I'm American...
Sup
I'm not Ozzy but I think I can give the accent a go! "Bonza! Barbie! Sheela! Joey!"
I'm not aussie but whats good
This is the content I’m here for, happy black history month lol
My personal theory is that Yokuda was ripped to pieces by Stone Mages and became an island archipelago.
So Yokuda never sank and Aldmeris never really existed... I get that the unreliable narrator is a staple to Elder Scrolls but having two lost homelands not actually be lost seems like a stretch.
people take the unreliable narrator thing a bit too far
More likely that information becomes corrupted over time. Maybe yokuda suffered a series of tsunamis from an earthquake or whatever, and this survived the generations as the place having “sunk” since it was overrun by the ocean. And aldmeris did exist just not in the way the elves generally believe it did.
@@BoxStudioExecutive likely but remember it's also quite possible that it was actually sunk by sword singers, remember the unreliable narrator goes both ways
Maybe they are the same continent.
Like despite Yokuda being west and Aldmeris being south I could see that; given the time being so long in the far past; practically at the dawn of time; that these two concepts are split off from one another like the Ehlnofey did.
I mean there are supposedly small islands to the west where yokuda which could be areas of high elevations that didn't sink fully
when i read about somebody cutting Yokuda, i think of Roronoa Zoro chopping freaking cliffsides off in Wano Kuni
Thanks i was bored
I keep seeing new skyrim videos i feel like im being called back lol
Dammit Drew, you almost summoned onion-cutting sword-singers with this musical accompaniment!
Imagine playing the next elder scrolls here and in the middle of a battle the ground shakes and everyone runs away in fear and flaming swords rain from above this would be cool
The Sword Singers sort of loosely remind me of Samurai been devoted to combat and the way of the blade
Just because Yokuda sank doesn't mean it's gone. There could well be a few small islands or mountaintop cities that survived.
Nirn's seas seem hungry. Aldermerus, Winterhold, Yokuda. Maybe they're connected?
Plot twist: Yokuda and Aldmeris are actually just Lyg.
You mean Atmora ?
@@tillm.142 no... Yokuda and Aldmeris both "sank" and Lyg is a parallel version of tamriel
My friend thinks that the elder scrolls 6 is going to have a voces main character but i just funny think it'll work with all the diff races that they have
Yokudeez nuts gottem
