Skyrim: 5 Things They Never Told You About Dragons

- Skyrim is a land of numerous creatures, but perhaps the Elder Scrolls 5's most iconic inhabit would have to be Dragons. Large, winged beasts, said to be the children of Akatosh, the Dragons of Skyrim have returned from a long slumber and now seek to bring the world under their rule once again. Central to the game's plot, Skyrim's Dovahs are discussed frequently by the game, yet there's still quite a bit about these creatures the title intentionally tries to hide. So today we'll be taking a look at five things you (probably) never knew about the Dragons of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

I actually advise the Jarl on political matters. My input is invaluable, of course. But this is all probably a bit over your head.
Just like dragons when they fly.

Skyrim belongs to the Nords! Also Nords invaded and supposedly killed all but two snow elves that inhabited Skyrim. I'm sorry but they won by a lot 🤣. Skyrim lore 100
Hundreds of Thousands of innocent men women and children were butchered and burned... and you're laughing?
@@johnathanthurmond11 People love to omit the fact that the Snow Elves started the whole thing by massacring a Nord town(Sarthal) in the dead of night unprovoked

Wait. This is actualy hilarious.
Dragon: Your prayers have been answered, Atmorans! The Falmer race is now extinct.

Dragon: You asked us to "Kill the snow elves", did you not?
Ysgramor:
THAT I'd love to see.
Bruh
imagine 500 dragons decimating the continent lol
It would make sense, the Nords worshipped the dragons, the dragons were still in charge, when the elves attacked Sarthaal, it disrupted the dragon’s servants and work basically, and maybe the dragons wanted The Eye Of Magnus, Dragons do meddle in magic, so they maybe worked together to take over Skyrim and then the Dragon Cult rose, then the war against dragons and the cult, and the Eye was forgotten, but the Nords must of had help from dragons during the battle against falmer first…
500 people killing all elves?
Hmmm seems exaggerated, and exactly what one side would write about the other, and they did build tons of temples to worship dragons in all over after they took over Skyrim. It’s dragon magic that keeps Draugr slowly feeding their life to the high Priest, just like a Dragonborn absorbs the soul of a dragon, a dragon priest can learn magic taught to them by dragons on how to absorb the life of others… it’s why few know this power, dragonborns, very high Priests, the graybeards and dragons themselves know how to do it..
The dragons were always in charge and they liked their slaves...
Dragons probably stayed in Atmora at first, ruling over Men, that’s why Elves barely mention them?
(Idk if elves or Falmer ever mention dragons as a problem)
who then came to Skyrim from Atmora after they made a deal to take over Skyrim for them and the Nords and wipe the elves out, something only a ruthless dragon army could and would do…. Maybe 🤷🏽♂️
I find it important to point out that you don’t have to be Dragonborn to use the Thu’um. Miraak is the confirmed first Dragonborn. I find it more likely, instead, that the dragons simply taught Ysgramor the Thu’um, like the Greybeards did Ulfric Stormcloak.
I thought it was Paarthurnax who first taught the Thu’um to mortals who rebelled against Alduin.
@@obi-wan-jacobi840 he did, but they were not the first mortals to be able to use the Thu’um; the dragon priests were, and were given the ability to do so by their dragon overlords (it’s most likely they were taught by the dragons as opposed to being made Dragonborns but the lore does not specify, and we don’t know if Miraak was the first dragon priest, as well).
@@zeykriidnd Miraak ain't telling.
I'm still sad that after you defeat Alduin, nothing has changed in terms of dragon attacks. They are still hostile.
Would have loved something like a dragon recognizing you and he lands in front of you, greeting you.
Good thing mods exists I guess-
I like to think they do this because of their nature, what better way to go out than fighting a mighty dragon born, they'll have it no other way
Does Odahviing count? He greets you after Alduins defeat and says he doubts the other dragons will give in to Paarthurnaxs peaceful lifestyle so easily

The idea that Paarthurnax put the scales on the shrine is interesting. If he flew there one night, it might explain why Sissel thinks she's seen him in her dreams. Also, we do know he has left the Throat of the World on rare occasions before. According to him, he used to visit Numinex in Dragonsreach from time to time.
it's also possible that it was placed there by one of the grey beards on a sort of proving mission
About the fourth spot, the dragon scales could be from Paarthurnax, I remember that in Rorikstead near the shrine is this girl named Sissel and she said this: "I had a dream that there was a good dragon. He was old and gray, but he wasn't scary." This can mean something, maybe it was not a dream, and she saw Paarthurnax near the shrine, just a theory :D
Two more facts:
1. Dragons greet each other by saying, "How Y'Alduin?"
2. Dragons weigh a lot because they're covered with scales.

I want to see a mod that allows for random encounters of two dragons sitting around and having a casual conversation.
you know that casual conversations between two dragons sounds like two T-Rex arguing whose meat that is right now?
I mean, we got a taste of what that looks like when we first met paarthurnax, they kinda Shout at each other
Ive got some interesting little details that might interest you
1. I dont know if this is a well known fact. But in the companions, you could ask Athis the reason why he join the companion, he would then say the lines from Indiana jones. HOWEVER, should you ask him again he would mock the player for being too annoying, he will actually notice that the dragonborn ask the same question twice, which he says "to get away from people who ask the same questions twice" or somewhere along that line
2. After joining up with the companions, fighting with vilkas in the yard. You could talk to kodlak and he will say the word "eyes on the horizon" what's interesting is during the quest proving honor. A contradicting statement is muttered by Farkas on dustman cairn "eyes on the prey, not the horizon" this is a little nod to Farkas wolfish personality and Kodlak's wisdom where he see fit that Sovngarde would be his home.
3. You could stumble upon Kodlak and Torvar talking about which weapon they like to use. Kodlak said that in his younger years he likes to use a bigger weapon but now he have a hard time lifting a greatsword, which then he says he still love to bludgeon someone with a hammer. Well if you check out the living quarters on his room would be a steel warhammer. It doesnt end there, when you return from gathering glenmoril witches head Kodlak will die while holding the same steel warhammer. The conversation from Torvar foreshadows how Kodlaks fighting years are behind him (too frail to wield a warhammer) and he will not survive the companions questline.
Hope you take notice.
I did not notice nor know any of those, guess I'm still learning
15/10 if true
Hope to encounter more posts made by you
@@meonkrishnanan5920 guess I must point out this too,
The acccidental rhyme made by you.
I agree with "eyes on the horizon" being about Kodlak thinking of Sovngarde, but I think that "eyes on the prey" is more about focusing on the task in front of you (lest the prey (or task) get away from you, or even hurt you), more than any wolfishness. (Beyond the choice of analogy.)

@@darinlocklear9938 I used to be a traveller like you, but one day someone stole a sweet roll. I chased through all of tamriel chasing the thief making sure not to lollygag'. However I didn't have my eyes to the skies and a damned dragon swooped down on me. I then thought maybe I'm Dragonborn but I just dont know it yet and decided to fight the dragon. The sweetroll thief then took out his bow and I was shot in the knee. This is why my cousin gets to fight dragons and I get guard duty.
@@wondersofthewildnetwork *steals a Sweet Roll* Let me guess...*eats sweet roll* Someone stole your sweet roll?

Well maybe if you didnt take a damn arrow to the knee...
I realized something about the fourth fact regarding the dragon scales at the Akatosh shrine. Nate mentioned that Paarthurnax is the only dragon that's been around since the dragons disappeared, and therefore is the most likely candidate for the source of those scales. However, that would mean risking exposing his existence by flying to that open spot close to a settlement - Rorikstead. Well, may I remind, that we *do* have an instance of someone in Rorikstead mentioning Paarthurnax, albeit vaguely. Sissel - one of Lemkil's daughters - mentions she had a dream of an old and gray dragon who "wasn't scary". Perhaps it's possible that Paarthurnax *did* risk a trip to the shrine at least a little bit before the game takes place, and Sissel managed to see him during the night, although believing that it was just a dream.
Make sense, I've always wondered why would Sissel see dream of Paarthurnax.
Arngeir tells us that Kynareth first gave humans the gift of the Voice. So, Kynareth must also be a dragon then, as the Voice is in fact dragon speech. Talos was also dragonborn and is said to have ascended to become the leader of the other eight divines. I'm getting the impression that all the Aedra are in fact dragons.
Dragons are shards of Akatosh's Soul, hence why they call him Bormahu, or Father.
Kynareth is a Divine, she doesn't need to be a dragon to teach humans how to Shout, especially considering Paarthurnax helped teach humans to Shout.
@@Mr-Trox but Partysnax is a dragon so Ofcourse he could teach people. What’s makes Kynareth so special that out of all the other aedra, she has the power to gift the thuum like akatosh a dragon god. I’m not saying she’s a dragon but it’s strange
@@theboy1625 Any of them could have, it's Kyne who took mercy on Man and gave them the gift.
Akatosh didn't care about Man until Saint Alessia and Shor/Lorkhan, the God of Man, was dead.
@@Mr-Trox gotcha
Akatosh is *THE* dragon all others are lesser dragons created by akatosh after his own image and alduin was his first creation, I suppose it's comparable to God, angels and Lucifer in particular but my point is shouting is ultimately a divine power/aedra power so I see no reason why any divine couldn't replicate that power without being a dragon, Talos was indeed a dragonborn so it's reasonable to think his soul had a spark of divinity which is how he became a divine
Brigands I can handle, but this talk of dragons? World's gone mad, I say.
Hey have you figured out who stole that sweetroll yet?
@@AlaskanWildChild Heard about you and your honeyed words.
Greetings! M’aiq knows who stole the sweetroll. M’aiq still wonders why all the guards have injuries

People definitely knew that dragons had existed, I mean the Jarl of Whiterun has a dragon skull in his palace and the story of dragonsreach in general was always considered historical. It was the dragon war that was only thought to be a myth, not the dragons themselves (Farengar says essentially this when asked about it)
Also I believe with enough of the shit going on in the world at that time, more people would rather wishfully think the dragons were completely extinct. Civil War, Thalmor, I don't want to add dragons to the list if I lived in Tamriel.
Well if you think about it in our world multiple different groups of people and civilisations have documented seeing dragons and have similar depictions of dragons, yet even after none of those people had contact with each other at the time and all of them say dragons existed.
We don’t believe they do or very little people do because well seeing is believing.🤷♂️
This is why I don’t understand why Whiterun guards say „they returned for the first time since forever”. I mean, they live under dragon’s skull. Forever isn’t that long so. Forever is as long as old is Dragonsreach. 😂
@@Buli0n To be fair Dragonsreach and the reign of Olaf One-Eye is about 4000 years old. It would be like if woolly mammoths started appearing out of nowhere today. Sure, it wasn't literally forever ago, but it probably does feel like forever.
There is a dragon that was sighted 20 years prior to the events of Skyrim that is hidden away in some cave in Cyrodiil. His name is Shulkunaak.

Are you sure about that?
From what I understand; many innocent lives were slaughtered in Sarthaal. Many men, women, and children; many noncombatants dying at the end of a sword. Ysgramor wanted the Snow Elves to know the pain of the Nords. The problem was; the Snow Elves were an empire. They weren't familiar with the concept of feeling defenseless like the people of Sarthaal. For the Snow Elves to know the pain felt by Sarthaal, Ysgramor sought to treat them as they treated Sarthaal; slaughter all without any mercy. It's a very simple concept, really; and befits the very logic of a true Nord.
tl/dr, revenge
Plus, if you leave the kids alive after a bloody slaughter they’ll just grow up to try and kill you later, everyone knows that

As far as the dragon scales: I've come across draugr with dragonbone weapons, so it could've been a religious type adventurer who found dragon scales in a crypt and decided to offer it to akatosh

Well played Bethesda, well played

I mean, we already had the 'dragonbreaks' and mercurial Elder Scrolls themselves, which resolve all the potential endings for open-ended stories, so it seems only fitting to have an entire race who can create still more solutions just in case. Although, the true genius was to embed hints at a still never-observed female version of that ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card who fills in all the plot holes we haven't even thought of yet but could potentially arise if anyone examines the lore too closely.

No if you listen carefully he says god duty. He’s ascending to godhood.
I do have a bit of a mystery - one that I literally thought of as I was watching this video. Why are Paarthurnax and Durnehviir the only dragons that are visually old? Could it be possible that denying or being denied their nature (that of conquerors and rulers) somehow changed them? Why do no other dragons seem to age? I get that Alduin had to raise most of them from the dead, but literally none of them look old.
i think you may've answered your own question. Paarthurnax and Durnevir have lived continuously for thousands of years, whereas the others were killed in the first era and brought back just now. There's no aging when you don't occupy a physical body.

12:55 "It doesn't make sense that he risked himself to so much exposure by flying to this WIDE OPEN shrine and leaving an offering."
Except, he has done it in the past. Remember Numinex? Paarthunax himself said he visited him from time to time in Dragonsreach...which is in a CITY. Him visiting a shrine in the middle of nowhere is more than plausible.
Also, I thought p'nax could have the grey beards make the offering for him. Heck, maybe Klimmek did it.
Aannndd... If im not mistaken, there is an invisibility shout in the game so... It makes sense that the ancient wise great master of the thu'm would know that shout and could sneak out at night and i dunno.... Pray or show respect to his father
crimsonlord I think it was “Become Ethereal” and it just makes you a ghost. But I haven’t discovered all the shouts so I may be wrong...
@@crimsonlord525 I was thinking the same, Paarthurnax is clearly, like, really really wise and ancient, he surely knows some tricks, invisibility shouts sound pretty posible

I mean, that's not even the whole story. For all we know, who's to say that it wasn't a Nord who instigated something in the first place?

“Akatosh 🐉 killing off the snake ppl 🐍, then invading Tamriel”.... Idk why, but for some reason I imagine the emperor that got lost, being represented as Akatosh, and then coming back to Tamriel to help put the high elves in their place. I feel that would make a little sense 🤷🏻♀️

My personal favorite moment happens of you try to use Bend Will on the dragon being revived by Alduin. The two of them have a chat in Dovazhul and insult the notion of you identifying as a dragon by being dragonborn.
Alduin (and by extension, all dragons and dragonborn individuals) are demigods. Firstborn of Akatosh etc.
Never leave a child to take vengeance. Happens in gangs, only makes sense that the Nords would do likewise.
"Night of Tears" explains the Eye of Magnus is the reason for the attack. A Dragon Word Wall *on top of the tomb* would suggest Ysgramor was Dragonborn/Dragon Priest
Not necessarily

@@nomclippin4730 I'm curious to know what your reasoning for saying no. Seems like you just want to disagree for no reason.
As for the OP yeah, I can see that as a possibility, but until there's proof one way or the other we will never know for sure.
I never really thought about Dwarves and Dragons existing at the same time before and now I'm wondering: what was the Dwarves' opinion on the Thu'um? The Dwarves were all about tonal magic, the creation of seemingly impossible effects through the use of sound. Did they respect the power of the Thu'um as a sort of naturally existing tonal magic, or did they look down on it as a sort of raw/imperfect application?
Honestly, considering the Dov are pieces of Akatosh, the Dwarves probably saw the sheer control and power of Shouts as something for their Tonal Magic to strive to succeed, as it was likely inferior in one-on-one comparisons.
Fun fact by the time of Skyrim, the dragons had only really been threatened for a couple of hundred years. There are elves alive who would have heard of dragon sightings.
And those dragon symbols on Nordic tombs are actually Akaviri.
Maybe the greybeards leave some of Paarunthax's scales evert year or so to honor Akantosh. Since Paarunthax cannot go down himself for risk of the blades or just being seen in general.

I always figured Ysgramor didn't literally just have 500 men. He had 500 bannermen who all brought their own hosts.
Nate, I’m not sure if this has been mentioned already but I thought it might be worth some research.
While looking at the artwork in the stone walls of dwarves ruins there are circles with a dot in the middle (an eye?) with lines coming from the center (tentacles?) Could this be a depiction of Hermaeus Mora from the dwarves?
you could be right because towards the ending of septimus signus's quest, transmunding the mundane, the box in septimus's outpost will open by using the blood of orc, wood elf, high elf, dark elf, and falmer, once it opens, we will find a book called the oghma infinium which is hermaeus mora's daedric artifact
The Oghma Infinium is locked up in a Dwemer container and one of Mora's Black Books is in a Dwemer Ruin on Solstheim. The Dwemer most definitely made contact with Hermaeus Mora and would've propably depicted that contact.
There is a loading screen about the dragons that talks about their fire and frost breath, and how they use the dovah language to do that, and then explained a fight between dragons was just an overly violent argument/shouting match, which I find to be kind of funny

Hi Nate! You mentioned the Dragons might have come from the continent Akavir, and the name of the Dragon mentioned sounded similar to Akintosh. Well, Akavir also sounds similar to Akintoah, which would further the theory that the dragon/ruler is Akintosh. I was also fascinated with Akavir, and was wondering (and requesting) that you make a “Five Things You May Not Have Know About...” about Nirn, and the continents in Nirn. The games only take place in Tamriel, and I think it would be cool to hear about other places in Nirn. That’s all! Love the content! Have a good day!

Honor cpapn actually be interpretted many different ways as honor is either a great respect or high esteem. Or it is the adherence to what is right or to a conventional standard of conduct.
With regards to Saarthal and whether Ysgramor was a dragon priest. My personal dragon theory - I think the Nords were sent to Skyrim by their dragon masters to find and secure the artifact known as the Eye of Magnus (Dragons could probably sense it's Aedric power naturally similar to the way that wizard knew of it using the oculury), under the pretense that they were just settlers to keep the snow elves off their backs. When the snow elves realized what the Nords had found they attacked out of panic of such a powerful dangerous artifact being misused or because coveted it for themselves. Ysgramor escaped and reported to the Dragons about the Eye and then was sent back with a big army along with Dragon's to genocide the elves. The Nords retook Saarthal but the Dragons could probably recognize the Eye as an Artifact of another Aedra (Magnus) and thus a potential threat to them or all of Mundus perhaps. So they buried its existence and commanded it to be hidden away.
I really wish they would do a game where akavir invades Tamrie. Maybe even be able to travel back and forth between Tamriel and Akavir.
As a derg myself, I do find it annoying that one can't just go to the local market without everyone freaking out.
At least the carriage driver and their horse are more forgiving.
Odavhiing is the ultimate dragon and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

O-O-Odahvhiing?
Sorry bro, Durnehviir is better.
Otherwise
nah parthuunax is cuz he was voiced by jumpman himself: mario
I suspect that a Greybeard placed one of Partha's scales there on his behalf. Between their devotion, honor and loyalty I can totally see that happening and easily being missed by the people at the base of the mountain.
My theory for the dragon scales being at the akatosh shrine is that they are from the warriors you see fighting dragons during the sequence shown from the elder scroll of how they sealed alduin. That means they had been held onto for generations and even placed at that shrine when it was first erected many years in the past long forgotten by all but the scroll and parthunax
To be fair, the snow elves killed women and children first when they killed everyone at Sarthal.
Right, that makes it *totally* fair
@@daintysload They killed evergone ar Sarthal, women and children included. If an entire army can't beat 500 people, that's on them.
@@squidsquid7487 well the ancient nords did use the Thu'um against the snow elves so they were at a disadvantage.
We don't talk about Saarthal
Squid Squid it's unfair and not the women and children's fault for their civilization's army not being able to beat 500 Nords with the power of the thu'um (and possibly dragons?)
I can think of ways the dragon scales got there... the real question is:
Why that particular shrine?
is it the closest akatosh shrine to high hrothgar?
I think it was because of unused content suggesting Rorikstead was at one point suppose to have more of interest in that there was some time of time fuckery going on, the scales could have been an offering to the god of time to release the tome from it's curse or maybe even have been the offering to start it to begin with.
@@Amy-yf9zc it is one of them if you start at the top and use godmode to jump off and run to the nearest ones it is one of three that are close its hard to tell which is closer without a way to tell the distance
18:20 Yngol can also appear as a spectral dragon priest at high levels, and thats even in vanilla (suggesting he was either a dragon priest himself or an aspiring one at the time of his death, as his specter bares no mask and unlike the jailer he has no backstory as to why he wouldn't have one)
Now, Parthuurnax's horn is interesting indeed... I have noticed he is missing that part, but I always assumed that he was missing it as a result from a battle before the alligance with Jurgen and the founding of the way of the voice. I mean... It is stated a lot in the lore how the dragons existed long before the humans. And also about the shrine in Rorikstead - if you speak to Sissel, one of the children in the town, she mention that she have had dreams about a dragon. This fact can give a lot of speculations and theories going. :) And the ninth dragon preist mask "Kohnariik" can strengthen the theory about Ysgramor being a dragon priest, it does translate into "warlord" but we really have nothing that suggests that. I gave this a little thought as I watched this video. :)
Another thing that could confirm Ysgramor as part of the Dragoncult, there’s a Dragon Priest Dagger in his tomb. That dagger was one of the reasons I replayed the Companions Questline on a future playthrough, at least until I discovered Folgunthur and the Dragon Cult quest.
I was wondering about that! I always assumed that dagger was Ahzidal's.
"And not just the fighters, but the innocent women, children, and elderly too." - Ysgramor committing Order 66 on the Falmer colorized
See? I made the same joke but I know that's Anakin getting revenge on the tuskin raiders that killed his mom and it has nothing to do with order 66 but whatever
"A child's Tamriel Bestiary"
"By Shane gro-Orath (Clever, no? Ha, Ha!)"
I see what you did there you rascal of a dreadric prince of madness
I love how he didn't even say anything about the dragons on Ysgramor's helm.... 😂
This game is so big and full of thing inside that, at distance of years, people like me still don't know a lot of things.
we mostly play the game to simply enjoy it or roleplay our own stories, not to find out things like this.
@@grefsteel3989 speak for yourself
that's because they added a ton of lore without thinking how it fit together so you just end up with plotholes and mechanics that don't make sense
6. They're actually made of candy
7. They all love the music of Barry Manilow
8. They're awesome help at barbeques
9. They work at the behest of their bunny overlords (hence the 'bunny's slaughtered' kill count)
10. If the Dragonborn goes 'pspspspspspspsppsps' they will be swarmed by every Dragon in Skyrim.

19:44 ''A very smart maniac'' I don't know why, but I love the way you said it xD
You can find a dragon priest dagger inside Ysgramors tomb
Ysgramor shared a home city with a soon to be dragon priest before he took the name Azhidal, he probs had it in with the Dragon cult since they both came from Atmora
There’s also a dragon priest dagger at vuhlker guard in Harkons part of his castle in a display case
oooo, the dragon lore is so fascinating! I liked it all. Thanks Nate
hi hey hello hope you’re doing great today and you’re a beautiful person
(edit)if you kill paarthurnax or cicero we can’t be friends
Yes
It's like killing a feeble old man for having a dark past which he feels regretful for, terrible.
@@atastydonut Like killing Austin Powers in his 60's, after his swinger years.
@@atastydonut Its like killing Hitler when he is in his 90's and he feels bad about it.
@@23Raind not hitler, hitler was killing people he is a dragon it's a human squashing a cockroach or a rat you don't see em crying about it.
12:50 It was definitely Paarthurnax paying tribute to A-Ka-Tosh at the Rorikstead shrine. Sissel, one of the little girls, caught him. She thought she was dreaming, though.
9:30 He's Vivec.
I'm not kidding, I'm not being metaphorical. Vivec transcended Morrowind and came alive in Kirkbride's head during the amphetamine binge where he wrote the trunk of Morrowind lore. He's a ghost in the man's head and knows it.
It has been 9 damn years and Epic Nate still finds new things and he can even suprise veterans like me who played the game more than 3000 hours he is really epic long live the Skyrim's Professor.
An interesting note on that line in "Mysterious Akavir," It sounds much like the line in Shakespeare's King Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2.
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".
Mate so many years after it’s release and I’ve poured many hours into this and you provide some stuff I don’t even know about?! Your on point dude

Ysgramor could also have been a powerful enough Dragonborn that he actually scared the dragons and that's why they didn't start ruling in Skyrim until he died. It wouldn't explain his brutality towards the Snow Elf Innocents, but it's a theory.
I stopped watching you for like 4 months, and still new content of Skyrim. How much have I missed
Ah yes, Yeesgramor and his sons Yingle and Tingle.
Almost 10 year ago and there's still thing to say about this legendary game
I can’t even imagine what Nate puts himself through to find similar references across the entire map of Skyrim.
We appreciate you 🙌🏻
Picked up Skyrim again and I’ve been watching more of your content than I have been playing
13:10 To me, I see some peasant out in the woods in the days before, or even on the day the game starts, seeing a dragon burst free and maybe lose some scales as it did so. The peasant being terrified of what he witnessed lays out the scales as his ancestors did to prevent the beast from returning and eating him.
Epic seeing the notification for you Nate
I know this guy
I wonder if he made a deal with the dragons, promising them rule over these new lands if they help take out the elves and thus clearing the way for overlords
19:03
Good theory but you're forgetting the elves attacked first, and when they did attack they pretty much used the same hostility as Ysgramor
when he came back with the great army. Personally speaking i think both sides were being manipulated.
I still remember when dragons would scare the shit out of me in this game. I thought they were so OP and i would run everytime i seen one. lol. Just seeing that one flying around the mountain top NW of Whiterun would make me panic haha. I would give up just about anything to be able to go back to that time of playing. Just forget the game and start all over. Skyrim was the first game i ever become hardcore obsessed with and it was great then.
Same
i'll never forget the second dragon i ever fought (after murmulnr). it was on my way up the mountain to see the greybeards- mfer BEAT MY ASS, threw me off the mountain (dead) did the CHOMP on me and shook me (dead) burnt me to a crisp (dead) threw me off the mountain again, etc. freaked me out so badly i had to stop playing for a week. good times, good times...
Bro same I even bought it again to get the same feel wasn’t the same.
I still enjoy fighting them it reminds me how strong I have gotten
"Where do dragons come from?"
Well, when a daddy and mommy love each other very much...wait
In Rorikstead there's this girl called Sissel who when speaked to will say about a dream she has of a good dragon.
"I had a dream that there was a good dragon. He was old and gray, but he wasn't scary."
I take that as confirmation that Paarthurnax does indeed traveled to Rorikstead's shrine of Akatosh and placed those dragon scales there himself.
Sissel wasn't dreaming... She actually saw him.
Gosh knowing all this now and seeing that map with bunches of other lands i wish wish wish!!!! Skyrim was a huge open world game!!!! Love all the skyrim lore im still playing skyrim on a daily. Keep up all the great work nate!!!!!
From what elder scrolls online tells us the horns made from dragon’s horn are used by dragon slayers to force the dragon to land, just like the dragonrend shout
Alduin is known as an aspect of Akatosh, with Akatosh being the birth of the world, Auriel being its preservation, and Alduin being its inevitable end. Could Akatosh's invasion of Tamriel refer to Alduin? I may be completely off here.
What about Alkosh?
I have become addicted to this guy and his skyrim videos, I put the "everything skyrim" play list every night 😭
The snow elf armor is my favorite in the game
