Soft-Spoken ASMR: Elder Scrolls Maps
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 10. 2015
- Hail, adventurers! Today we take a break from wandering Skyrim to pore over some fascinating maps of the Elder Scrolls world. Join me for a relaxing cartographic journey across Tamriel and its provinces! Triggers include paper sounds, pointing and tracing, and soft-spoken rambling.
This video is dedicated to (and was requested by) Matt Taylor, the talented creator of the new banner and icon which grace my channel! In addition to designing awesome channel art, Matt also does custom painting and sculpting for retro consoles; check out his website for some cool examples: www.creativeboxgaming.com
---- What's ASMR, and why am I speaking softly? ----
I speak softly in my videos because they're designed to trigger a sensation called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a very specific feeling that some people experience when they hear certain soft sounds, like whispering and tapping, or see certain visuals, like deliberate hand motions. It's often described as a pleasant tingling in the head and neck, accompanied by a sense of calmness and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to help them relax or fall asleep. To learn more about ASMR, I recommend checking out asmruniversity.com/about-asmr/.... Happy tingles!

Have you heard of those hardy horses of Skyrim? They say they can cross mountains.
all of them
Oh man PLEASE tell me this will be a meme in the next TES game.
Srikrishna Bhat yes all the horses of Skyrim do climb a mountain very easily
more like levitate up them
hover hooves
Hello if anyone sees this. I come back here every now and again and it’s always relaxing and makes me feel good. My dad got me into Skyrim (he’s played all the elder scrolls games) and I am currently replaying Skyrim and something about this world brings me peace. So glad this video and his elder scrolls 6 location theory video exist.
I really loved reading this, thank you so much for your heartwarming comment! So glad these videos bring you peace, and I hope my content continues to relax you :)
Same here, except i'm a morroboomer

There's been talk amongst the guards. That you are... theASMRnerd. But such a thing... Surely that's not possible.
That was funny but butt
maybe I'm the ASMRnerd and I just don't know it yet?
"There has been talk among the guards that you... are... theASMRNerd. Is such a thing really possible?"
FINALLY, a guard quote besides that freaking arrow in the knee meme!
CubeNewb I used to be an ASMRnerd like you, then I got a arrow in the knee.

Man, this video gave me tingles as violent as how I treated my son in Skyrim.
Same...
"is someone there?"
"must be nothing"
proceeds to steal someones clothes off of them
I decided to watch this on a whim today because I ran into an article about ASMR. I have to say it is surprisingly helping with my anxiety. I appreciate the focus on nerdy things. for whatever reason it feels much less weird to listen to the calming journey through fantasy worlds that I'm interested in.
+Jessica Bottiglier Really glad to hear that it helps with your anxiety! When I first discovered ASMR I found it pretty weird, but once I got past the initial weirdness phase I found it incredibly helpful for dealing with stress and sleep issues, which eventually led me to making this channel. I find that the combination of video game/fantasy world escapism and ASMR relaxation really helps to ease the mind.
+theASMRnerd yeah some of them I looked at were a little weird for me but with the context of video games it's much better lol
By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! I love this video!
Me, at first: "what, 55 minutes? No way I'm watching all of it"
Me, 55 minutes later, watched all of it.
Years later, we can still thank Matt Taylor for choosing this topic, and style of video, resulting in Nick producing one of the world's best ASMR video ever created. Thanks both, this was a match made in heaven.
If I watch this video, I instantaneously want to play morrowind again.
That's because it's an awesome game :D
It was the best but I fear that replaying would destroy my awesome memories I have from back in the days :(
Seriously, Morrowind the fucken awesome... Damn I wish they'd either remake it or release an upgraded version. To me it was the best then followed by Skyrim. If Skyrim was released when I was the age I was when playing Morrowind then it'd probably be my favorite. Worst thing about getting older: losing most of your imagination
I know what you mean. I played Morrowind when I was about 15, and it made such an impression on me. So part of my love for it is nostalgia, but it's also just a really unique, ambitious game. I really hope the Skywind team comes through and releases their version, that would be incredible.
Everything about it just seemed amazing, it felt almost like a living world. I could get lost/entranced in the game just by staring at the water
this makes me want to start a geography asmr channel
+Marshmallow Hahaha, yeah, it'd be funny.
Falling asleep to it, and then waking up some time later, thinking:
"Oh... I know all the cities in France now... Don't know how, but I just do."
xD
+Andrew Lee you should really do that i woud love it!

7 years on, I still return to this video for relaxation and Elder Scrolls education
This video had me more interested than relaxed! I mean that in a positive way btw ;)
+The ASMR Gamer what happened to restful tingles?
+TheASMRGamer You play Elder Scrolls? :)
You should try do a colab with ASMR nerd playing elder scrolls online or a similar game :D
The ASMR Gamer Kotor is the best Star Wars rpg ever, curse Disney for buying Lucas arts and preventing the third game from coming out.
Rok Mun That's not really Disney's doing. EA/Bioware were already determined to focus on SWTOR, rather than continuing KOTOR (still makes me sad). But since Disney's purchase, EA does have the Star Wars license so they theoretically could have Bioware make KOTOR 3, or another Star Wars rpg. And hell, maybe after the disappointing performance of Andromeda they'll be more willing to,come back to the Star Wars well.
HAIL SITHIS
Pssst, I know who you are
Sanguine some sort of loud chanting?
Silence brother
NEVER! FOR THE COMPANIONS!
Yes my brother
It's amazing how much you know
about the Elder Scrolls
What's even more amazing is how much I *don't* know about the Elder Scrolls. The lore is so rich and there's so much to know...the rabbit hole goes very deep.
Haha
I know more elder scroll history than American history- I’m in high school

Reaper is that fur coming out of your ears? - is a kajiit -
Let me guess....
Dude, I could've listened to this forever. An hour wasn't long enough for me, and he relentlessly said it was getting too long. I wholeheartedly disagree. I absolutely adored this video, and could have listened for hours longer.
Haha well I'm glad you feel that way! If I had more maps, I'd do another one like it.
Very creative and super relaxing! I really liked the tracing! Wonderful work once again! Keep it up! :)
I've been listening to ASMR fairly consistently for about a year now. I'd never had 'Tingles' before and just used to watch them as a means to relax and unwind. However, this is the first video that has ever given me tingles! Amazing!
Sam Harrington i
Ö _ when did you get them? I have the exact same problem you had
I think the case makes good sounds
J.Taylors I think the Elder Scrolls make good sounds.
J.Taylors ayyyy
I see memes spread from other channels😂
What do you think
Okay
"Nirn" sounds like "Nairn", a small resort town near Inverness I spent most of my early childhood going to holiday there, back in the 90s... what a shithole it was. I wish it had fucking vikings and dragons and shit.
Don't talk shit about Nairn pal the caravans are mint.
I went back in the summer because my grandmother lives there, and I actually saw a child, sitting on the steps of a campervan, bashing two rocks together at the harbour.
+StopMinecraftVIOLENCE Maybe he was levelling his Smithing?
+StopMinecraftVIOLENCE that's the beauty my friend.
Vikings? EXCUUSE ME?
I love collecting old parchment maps and the Elder Scrolls maps are some of my favorite(barring the fact that they're all new and waxy). The artwork is phenomenal.
+Callidus Corvus Yes, they're beautiful maps! Although I wish that for the Anthology, they had used a more textured paper, or even cloth. Would have give them that premium feel. Still awesome though :)
+theASMRnerd Agreed. I believe that if you bought ESO in store from a retailer like Walmart, there would be a cloth map included in the box.
I still come back to this every 3 months. This is my check in haha
I really appreciate that, tysm! I'm glad that this video is still helping you all these years later :)
Trinkets, odds and ends, that sort of thing.

WOW!
"Ayasofya" in Hammerfell is also the Turkish name for the ancient roman church Hagia Sophia
Greek name***
Skyrim is such a great game. My favorite part was giving my weapons funny names such as "Dragon Dildo"
c0da makes it canon.
Chitose Sakura [Sakura Studios Headquarters] I named my staff of firebolts, the Dildo of fiery sperm

Chitose Sakura [Sakura Studios Headquarters] I named my bow Gerald.... :/
I name my weapons aaaaaaa so they show up at the top of my super heavy sack of optional weapons
You should definitely do more videos talking about The Elder Scrolls lore, since you have so much to say! =)
Great video btw, very relaxing. Soft speaking is the best.
+Millor kinda like shoddycast and fallout but he would be doing asmr and thats a perfect combo elder scrolls lore and asmr
this video is a few years old but i still regularly go back to it for reliable relaxation 💤
I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took a comment to the knee.
FAK YU
i used to be straight till i took a dick up my ass
☹
+Me_oh_me_oh_my I agree fok yu

Nice Relaxing Map and Soft Spoken video. Subscribed!
I used to be a Skyrim player like you, and then I took a bug to the knee
you mean to the ear
+Gun Art Enigma he means a game bug, not like an actual bug d:
Or maybe u meant in-game sound bug idk
+ROJUR PICKLZ he was joking, the character actually took a bug ( centerpeede) to the ear xD
ROJUR PICKLZ I meant game bug yes, but he was also joking, as Just a Scientists explained
Ethan H was it 'kneemonia'
been waiting for this ever since the anthology vid u made
+Hidden Peace Haha yes, it took a while, but I hope it lives up to expectations!
I just discovered your channel, I love it! I love nerdy things and I love the soft spoken voice to go along with it. Thank you and I look forward to many more great videos!
+nannybannany Welcome, glad you're enjoying my videos so much! Thanks for your kind words :)
"Do you get to the cloud district often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't"
THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE triggers my ASMR more than anything else. I love listening to people talk about things they enjoy and are interested in. It's also awesome when you get to listen to somebody who shares common interests. Great video man. Definitely going through and watching the rest.
Definitely in the top asmr videos of all time. I've watched asmr for almost 7 years. Hands down, great content.
“That’s not a horker!” Thats my wife!
you have the very best "soft spoken" voice, very hypnotic sounding and I cant wait to hear more soft spoken videos from you. Subbed coz you're definitely worth it!!!
+Tumekera Thank you! I have a few other softspoken videos, but not many. It's something I plan to do more of in future :)
there needs to be more youtubers/asmrtists like you. Skyrim is my escape and the fact that there is an asmr video about just makes me so happy. keep it up 💜
Thank you! It's the same for me, Skyrim is somewhere I go to escape and forget my troubles for a while, which is one of the reasons I started making videos with it :)
My recommended has been Skyrim and ASMR, and this video just brought the two together. I've come full circle. Well done.
I didn't sleep early as I have planned before, cause your video was so interesting :') Great job, dude!
+Maite Alves Haha it's a careful balance, I try to make my videos both relaxing AND interesting :). Glad you enjoyed it!
The first time i experienced asmr I thought that there was something wrong with me. But when I found videos like this I knew that there is people like me and it's pretty normal. And i'm thankful for all these awesome asmr videos, it helped me out so didn't hev to go to like a doctor/school nurse to ask if there is something wrong with me. Just thank you for all your videos!
I have terrible issues with insomnia. This and your whispered "Wandering in Skyrim" videos often knock me right out. Thank you!
Very rarely do I shout AAAAW 5 MORE MINUTES
I want more map lore from you
Just subscribed recently and am a huge fan of your Elder Scrolls ASMR videos. Not only do I love ASMR but I also grew up playing Morrowind, so I really enjoyed relaxing and listening your maps tutorial and lore to go with it. Any chance you might consider doing a similar video but more around the guilds such as the Dark Brotherhood, Mages Guild, etc. I don't know how much you could do on that but just an idea! - Great work and thanks.
+Erik Brand Thanks for the sub, glad you're enjoying my stuff! The Elder Scrolls videos are some of my favorites to make. Morrowind was definitely a formative game for me. Do you mean a video where I go over the Oblivion or Skyrim map, and speak more in-depth about the guilds in each of those provinces, kind of like I did for the Morrowind map?
+theASMRnerd That's right, I actually kind of forgot you went over the guilds of Morrowind (sorry, my bad!). Then maybe Oblivion or Skyrim guilds would be interesting to walk-through, talking about certain groups and their ranks and impacts on the world, etc. I know when I joined the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion and the Werewolves/Vampires, Thieves Guild, etc, in Skyrim thinking how all those side stories are so in depth and would be a cool subject matter!
No reason I just am in a good mood
Stormcloaks, Imperials, dragons. Ain't no matter to me what I kill. Let them come
This dude makes me want to get out of my bed and play Skyrim right now, yet I want to stay and listen to the rest of Tamriel’s description. This is one of the most interesting ASMR videos out there for sure.
The tracing of the pencil is so relaxing, I know this video is quite old but I keep coming back
I appreciate you coming back to the classics!
Wait I know you
You're that asmr creator,fine I'll let you go
the only elder scrolls map I have is Skyrim
maxcrazycam03 I have cyrodiil (goty) and skyrim (se) but I downloaded the rest of the maps on my phone lol
My cat halved my Cyrodiil
It was high on the wall...
Cat used Icarian Flight
It's like hearing a story before sleep or while doing repetitive work, amazing
Great video! Love all the Elder Scrolls related content!
Had a little laugh when the fly got on the map and tried to steal your thunder.
"If someone tries to sneak up on us, I will smell them coming, or, I might not. We will see..."
Skyrim belongs to the nerds! ;)
I can't believe I haven't discovered this channel until now!
I could listen to these nerdy rambles forever and ever...
+Citronnelle Really glad you enjoy the video so much! If you like this, you might enjoy my relaxing Skyrim wander videos too :)
I knew all of these in detail since I'm a big fan of the Elder Scrolls universe...
But holy shit I can't stop watching this video, gives me nostalgia feels
I've never played skyrim seriously but now I will
JVlogs YT please do it's a life changer
Cracked Up Clown help now I'm addicted 😂. I played it when it first came out but school got in the way and never finished it lol
Do you think you'll be able to do a reading of the Improved Emperor's Guide to Tamriel book that came with the Imperial Edition of ESO? You can find new copies of it for fairly cheap on eBay and it's a 200+ page lore book about a guy recording his experiences throughout Tamriel. It also doubles as the art book for the game as it's filled with eso concept art.
I've played all of them, but I really enjoyed this. Awesome work man, I love the Elder Scrolls world.
Lore videos and ASMR go together so well. Keep up the good work.
Stros M'kai looks like an interesting place to go, especially considering all the lore in skyrim about it. Maybe not as the main setting for The Elder Scrolls VI more like a DLC of some kind
Also a bit weird that they didn't label solstheim on the map?
On the Tamriel map? Yeah, it is slightly odd.
You do in fact go to Stros M'Kai in Elder Scrolls Online.
sturminator haha gotta be fergie
m' lady
Who remebers the shimmering isles dlc for oblivion? The disc came with a map, and its a shame it doesn't come with these ones...
Great DLC! And I might have that map somewhere...I'll take a look around for it.
god I was searching a good video that could explain me Tamriel map perfectly and now I'm watching it with asmr also? fucking amazing
Thank you for not including spoilers, I'm just starting to get into The Elder Scrolls games and this was so perfect for me to watch
You've taken your first step into a larger world! Welcome :D
I want soup
It’s not an TES quote I just want soup
i feel my brain melting...
hope you didn't need it!
+theASMRnerd now i don't.
I couldn't have asked for more with this one. This is awesome!! Thank you. :D
man you are just killing it with the videos lately! Both in amount of content and how quick you are posting it!
+Vinny H Haha thanks man, glad you noticed. Really trying to make up for lost time and come back strong. I don't know if multiple vids a week is going to be long-term sustainable, but at the very least I want to upload weekly.
Here, have a fishy stick.
Elder Scrolls Online goes to Elden Root. Haha! in Valenwood!
+Jessica Wilson Yeah a few other people have mentioned that too. I never played very far on my Dominion character, but I should, I'd really like to see Elden Root!
why did they waste that amazing game idea on that mediocre game :(
Oh CZcams.. popped up on my feed again after 6 years ❤️ Sent me me to sleep countless times back when I was at uni
You're the first ever asmrtist I ever watched, I love you man :D
I'm supposed to be writing a paper for grad school right now. Instead I'm watching this video for like, the 20th time and wishing I could be playing Skyrim instead. ::sigh:: :-D
I know that feel. Good luck with the paper! What's your area of study?
+theASMRnerd I'm in seminary working on a Masters of Divinity. I like to imagine that the degree is as magical as it sounds, but it really just means I read a ton about ancient near east religions and try to help people deal with life. :-)
+theASMRnerd I finished the paper this morning and spent all afternoon playing. I feel so much better now. Haha.
I find few things soothe the soul like getting lost in Tamriel :)
you can tell, you spelled grade wrong lmfao
Awesome! my vote counted and he picked a good video too!
+David Hunn It was a very close contest, the winning entry won by 2 votes out of almost 700. So yes, your vote did count!
This is really nice. I love Skyrim and I love how you go through and explain your take on everything. Markarth is probably my favorite city; I just love the dark tribal history behind it and just the Forsworn in general.
Definitely subbing you. No clue how I haven't found you before now.
The maps have always been a very neat addition to the games. I remember playing Daggerfall and Morrowind, but never had a map for either of those. I still have the Cyrodiil and Skyrim maps. They are so cool, thanks for sharing this!
The imperial city island looks like a really rough outline of America, Canada, and Mexico
I used to be an arrow like you then I took an adventurer to the knee
Now THATS some content I werent expecting on youtube.
May Vehk and Vehk bless your path.
I love how knowledge you are in the geography of tamriel to the point you can note of akavir and the moonpath mod.
my god!... look how perfect his hands.
Perfect? Did you not see his thumb?
Flimbo nimbo what thumb is pretty?
Anyone else think Summerset Isle looks a bit like Ireland?
it sorta does yeah
Wuts going on u Fukin druggo?
Sassy The Sasquatch
things
If Ireland and the UK had a fat baby then yes, yes it does.
+Sam Breen this feels like Deja vu
Oh, this soft spoken goodness is putting me to sleep almost immediately.
didn't know I needed elder scrolls asmr in my life until now..
Have you heard any news of the other provenances?
do one of a game of thrones map
The video was fun to watch... very interesting! The tingles were an added bonus lol now I just wanna play Skyrim. great video :)
Man, this truly is a great video. Whenever I'm super stressed out, I'll just plug in some headphones and listen to this. Really appreciate it man, cheers! 🍻🇨🇦
