The_Drop Bear The Elder Scrolls are useless for combat, unless you plan to run in and whack somebody over the head with them, or open one in the middle of a crowd; a problem easily overcome by turning away or closing your eyes and carving the old fuck like a feast day turkey before he has time to call for help. Besides, How much influence could a group of hermits possibly have with smallfolk who, most likely, think that they’re all a group of old kooks? You are severely overestimating the Moth Priests.

I unironically love ESO to death, despite some lore "mistakes". The team making ESO wasn't directly Bethesda, and checked with Bethesda on every piece of lore they decided to include and portray. The likely explanation is that the lore somehow got flubbed somewhere in translation between teams. ESO has contributed so much cool stuff to the TES universe and is a fantastic MMO to boot, I'm so glad we have it.
It's one of my favorite games. I'll be playing this for years to come. Only MMO I've actually dedicated myself to. Only lore mishap that gets me is the ebonheart pact and I understand why they needed to include it, they just could've made it make more since like a alliance out of necessity instead of just shoehorning some details. I can look past that. Besides I'm all AD aside from my nightblade.
Just imagine an Elder Scrolls/Total War crossover set during this time where one of the factions you can play is Tiber Septim trying to expand the Empire, or another faction opposing him
The Prostitutes' Guild. I am genuinely surprised that isn't a mod. I'm just thinking about how it would function, considering how guilds in Morrowind and Oblivion worked, with ranks and everything.
I would argue that either the Reman dynasty or the reign of Tiber Septim was actually the “Golden Age” of the Elder Scrolls. Given, from Men’s perspective. The second era may have been better for the Elves as they had more independence, but it seems the Elves’ “golden age” is about to happen in ES6 with the Aldmeri Dominion having control of the Empire.
@@timetraveler5547 For real. Tiber Septum backstabbing his allies and runs through innocents in his conquest for power, but no one seems to care, as long as he "sounds" like a badass. He literally grabs the Numidium and annihilates the Summerset Isles and somehow the fanbase thinks it's wrong that the Elves are pissed?
I know this is super old but thank you for the hard work over the years! I'm rewatching this video as preparation for Elder Kings 2: A Crusader Kings 3 mod.
I really hope that Bethesda watches your content guys, you three do such a fantastic job with your videos and I am confident you put smiles on the faces of not only the viewers of your content such as myself but even the developers as well. I really hope they are keeping track of your other series of videos regarding what we all wish to see in the next ES installment. I'm sure they will not following everything to the letter, but if they at least considered a few things you guys recommended, the next game will be a smash hit. Keep up your great work I'm am looking forward to the next video you make (Part 7???) fingers crossed
I can’t even begin to understand how you did this. It’s remarkable. There’s just so much history here. You did a phenomenal job, and these videos just blow my mind. Keep them coming!
I'm enjoying this series immensely and I'm grateful that you've taken the time and effort to put this complex history into this format. I love being able to replay and rewind as many times as I need to increase my understanding as I re-examine the various books in Skyrim and Solstheim. Thank you.
I have a solution for the whole Maxevian vs Anton 1 problem. I think "King" Maxevian was a rebel attempting to take the throne who had the loyalty of many who saw him as the true king of Daggerfal, including the knights of Watcher's Hold. My guess is that he is a brother to Anton I who had more military experience and saw his brother's lack of determination to exterminate all orcs as dangerous for Daggerfall, a sentiment shared by many others. Maxevian's hatred of the orsimer was shared by enough people in the court that there were those who were willing to act as spies for him and attempt to poison the true king, Anton. There is a second mention of Maxevian in the Letter to King Maxevian which was written in 458 by Captain Orrent Retene. That letter states that they have not recieved orders to return from Watcher's Hold for 24 years, suggesting that Maxevian had died before he could send those orders
Thank you Scott & all FM guys, for making my dream come true. These era timelines really give me a better grasp of the entirety of Nirn, throughout time. It helps put together the political climate as a whole and what the different mer & men were dealing with in their own lands and in relation to each other. It also helps point out any seeming inconsistencies, which is helpful for not getting confused, laying it all out there. Very cohesive. I don’t need every little quest detail from ESO or any other TES game for a project like this. I find your historic overview quite informative with the relevant facts and people included. Much 💕and respect.
I'm so in love with the lore of this series it's right up there with star wars and Naruto and all of the other mediums that I'm interested in... Long live the Elder Scrolls Series
I can't tell you how enjoyable these stories are especially hearing from Morrowind hearing familiar topics and I must say I'm glad I never joined the Morag tong but rather the dark brotherhood.
Yo, just wanted to say I'm digging these videos and appreciate the effort you are going through on these ones in particular. Not many CZcamsrs delve into Elder Scrolls like this.
Man, these series are great! I love learning abt the game lore but man it makes my head spin. Also makes creating and playing a lore correct character more challenging. So for my own clarity, in lore the events of ESO we play take place mid 2nd era and the lore w. Talos and the Imperial rise and domination are late 2nd era? Thank you so much for these videos!
I would love for there to be a non-main-line game set in the reign of Versidue Shae or Savirien Chorak in Black Marsh with the Lilmothiit and Kothringi making appearances
The Ordained Receptacle? Sounds a lot like something out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. LOL :) "Fetch me the Ordained Receptacle!" "Don't you mean the Holy Hand Grenade?" "No, damn you, if I had meant the Holy Hand Grenade I would have said the Holy Hand Grenade!" ROFLMAO!!!
Great video man, love how you have the whole playlist of lore. Been watching bunches of your videos for years. Figured I’d throw some positivity your way✌️
Just found your videos and am getting into eso. I've dabbled a bit within tamriel with skyrim and oblivion and was always fascinated by the lore that seemed never ending and a bit overwhelming at times. These videos help to make a bit of sense of everything. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they are informative as fuck!
Anyone else wonder where does the vampire Harkon fits in this era? 579 seems to be it, but after joining the Volkihar vampires, he mentions that in an "era lost to history" he was a powerful king, so when was he King and what was he king of or what region?
Hm...written record of the Dark Brotherhood surfaces in 358, and details an ongoing power struggle between the organization and the Morag Tong. 324 saw the Tsaesci Potentate assassinated seemingly at random after 300 years of rule and "Morag Tong" is painted on his chamber wall in blood, ensuring the Morag Tong are attributed with the killing....unless there is evidence to indicate that the Morag Tong sanctioned this act, I'd speculate the possibility that the Dark Brotherhood perpetrated the assassination and, in an attempt to direct animosity from the empire toward their competitors, direct blame upon the Tong....I like tinfoil.
Have you ever thought about doing Warhammer 40k lore videos? I'm not sure if you are familiar with it, but it has a lot of mystery and in-depth lore. You do an amazing job covering Elder Scrolls and Fallout, I would love to see what you could do with the expansive Warhammer 40k universe.
There's an easy solution to the Anton/ Maxevian dichotomy: *DRAGONBREAK!!* *"Dragonbreaks for everyone!!! Or cheese. Funny how I mix those two up. Must be due to how similar they both are... I wonder if you break open a dragon, if cheese comes out...? Well, off to Skyrim to find out! Ta-taa!!"*
It is so cool how Bethesda created such a deep and story filled universe! You just don't see this type of depth in modern games (because they're all online/battle royale)
Shout out to my fellow ESO fans!!! The soulless one is also known as "the vestige," and the main plot in vanilla ESO revolves around your soul being taken, but you still being alive. If you've never played, definitely pick the game up on a free week and at least play the main quest line through. It's worth it!
A thought about King Maxevian seeming to rule Daggerfall at the same time as King Anton was still alive and well... What if Anton placed an advisor on the trone during a period of particular instability and violence around the royal court? It has precedents in IRL history, so perhaps Maxevian was a steward who took his position a bit too seriously when he had executive powers, and called himself a king in his documents. It would make the lack of any other mention of him more sensible too, with the possibility that Anton caught wind of Maxevian's growing lust for more and more power and had him removed, potentially from any documents he could find afterwards as well.
Although it was a lot of information to digest from a 40 minute video, I greatly enjoyed the 1st era video earlier today. I've been looking forward to this 2nd era video.
24:20 Honestly, there are several explanations for why the Hist would command this: a) They know what/who the Ordained Receptacle is, and realized that it/they threaten their existence in the wrong hands. b) They know that the Ordained Receptacle is deep in Argonia, and the Akaviri would have eradicated Hist trees to reach it. c) Tsono-Xuhil is the Ordained Receptacle, and the other Hist decided to destroy the Akaviri before this revelation could turn Tsono-Xuhil into a rogue messiah.
@Fudgemuppet; really love the video! But I have an idea that might make it a bit better. What about showing us on the Tamriel map where the event you're talking about happened? I'd like to see that. It's okay if you don't though... I appreciate the video anyway!
Thank you for this but soon as you hit orsinium dlc (forward in eso timeline) I hit pause. Will return once I get around to all the DLCs :) thank you for all your videos tho man
I find the orsinium dlc to be kinda disappointing (might be because I despise traitors both in games and irl, I can't wait to make traitors in games not alive)
Honestly the second era is sounds the most fascinating out of all the era's there's a lot that happens and that goes on. Outside of eso it would be interesting to see more games that take place during this era
As a long time player of ESO, i can say with absolute confidence vanus galerion is my least favorite person in the second era. Varen aquilarios is second on that list simply because of his early arrogance and later his withholding of his true identity.
Eight provinces for eight races for eight races for eight main (major) divines. The ayleids (aylieds?) where obsessed with the number eight. Anyone got other good ones
More people lore! And the dawn era! I think more detail into nations or factions or events (the recent ones with “people who changed Tamriel forever” are awesome !
Maybe the Hist had the Argonians attack the Kumal because they have the Ordained Receptacle and wanted to stop the Kumal before they figured out that the Hist had it and invade Blackmarsh.
I was surprised to hear that nocturnal wants to take over the crystal tower. She is very direct in her intention of taking the tower. I thought she is the most indirect daedric prince, only influencing nirn with her luck. Am i missing something here? Enlighten me oh loremasters
@@Justanobody8472 Ahh yes, because once a game comes out, no one new ever joins later and experiences it for the first time. Certainly not me when I wrote that comment, no sir. Sterling fuckin logic there, champ. Try again.
... and I can't wait for the next one. Badass video, fellahs. Incidentally, I think the period in Morrowind from Dagoth's cutting off the tribunal to the events of the Nerevarine are Tamrielic lore's high point, its finest hour.
Every time I hear "...this is Scott..." at the beginning of one of these videos I start thinking of an old friend who died a few years back. This always puts me in something of a somber state. Given the overall state of affairs in TES, this state of mind is quite fitting. I love and hate this at the same time for reasons that should be obvious. Though the sadness that comes back far outweighs being in a good mindstate for a lore video. However that sadness stems from remembering the fun times we had as much as it comes from the fact that I will never see him again. Those are things that I like to think about even if they are bittersweet. I know this sounds random and is something of a downer, but I really mean this as a thank you. Since at the end of the day things that remind me of those friends I have lost are important to me, because they do this. The only way to remember is to think about what it is you are remembering. Keeping memories alive means activating them often enough so they do not fade off into oblivion. (and I don't think I'll be able to strike up a deal with Hermaeus Mora anytime soon) addendum: I don't really like the idea of becoming numb to ones own memories. There are memories I have, which I know should come with some emotions, but do not (I am not talking about trivial memories). I recognize them as poor reflections or shadows of reality. I abhor the feeling I get when I know I should feel something but don't. It is as if I have found where I have lost a fragment of my humanity, with that fragment nowhere in sight. Stuff like what I said above can hurt. But that these memories come with associated emotions helps me to keep my humanity in a day when being a decent human seems to be in short supply.

Daggerfall has several Kings to govern the different areas, they all swear loallity to the High king. They should have just called them Lord's.
It’s comparable to pre Norman Ireland with petty kings owing allegiance to stronger kings.
1:40 aint no way they named him Zebiden-Joe lmao
Amazing video man Nice work! 😀
The Soulless one is an absolute chad mopping up this many messes.
Although it was a lot of information to digest from a 40 minute video, I greatly enjoyed the 1st era video earlier today. I've been looking forward to this 2nd era video.
@FudgeMuppet I found a steel warhammer called Trollsbane. I’ve been playing Skyrim for years and had never come across it before.
Going back through these
24:20
Honestly, there are several explanations for why the Hist would command this:
a) They know what/who the Ordained Receptacle is, and realized that it/they threaten their existence in the wrong hands.
b) They know that the Ordained Receptacle is deep in Argonia, and the Akaviri would have eradicated Hist trees to reach it.
c) Tsono-Xuhil is the Ordained Receptacle, and the other Hist decided to destroy the Akaviri before this revelation could turn Tsono-Xuhil into a rogue messiah.
@Fudgemuppet; really love the video!
But I have an idea that might make it a bit better.
What about showing us on the Tamriel map where the event you're talking about happened?
I'd like to see that. It's okay if you don't though... I appreciate the video anyway!
More content to relax to from a 1AM night shift. 💓 Love you guys!
Thank you for this but soon as you hit orsinium dlc (forward in eso timeline) I hit pause. Will return once I get around to all the DLCs :) thank you for all your videos tho man
I find the orsinium dlc to be kinda disappointing (might be because I despise traitors both in games and irl, I can't wait to make traitors in games not alive)
Honestly the second era is sounds the most fascinating out of all the era's there's a lot that happens and that goes on. Outside of eso it would be interesting to see more games that take place during this era
And now I have to wait for the 3rd Era video! Dear Akatosh, see it done for I cannot wait!
I love these type of video stheir very informative because I wanna know more about the Elder Scrolls lore, even if it is an old game.
"Disliked so much"
What do you mean? It only has 7 dislikes
@@crqzed True, TBH I thought that it would have more dislikes but I guess not, meh.
As a long time player of ESO, i can say with absolute confidence vanus galerion is my least favorite person in the second era. Varen aquilarios is second on that list simply because of his early arrogance and later his withholding of his true identity.
Agreed. They are both pricks
11:52 Lamias in Elder Scrolls?! Cool.
Eight provinces for eight races for eight races for eight main (major) divines. The ayleids (aylieds?) where obsessed with the number eight. Anyone got other good ones
This is by far my fav seires thus far. Thank you very much sir muppet of the fudge
You guys are awesome love it when I get a notification from fudge muppet !!!!
I love you so much for linking your other videos so helpful
I love these videos so much combines my two favorite things history and elder scrolls
More people lore! And the dawn era!
I think more detail into nations or factions or events (the recent ones with “people who changed Tamriel forever” are awesome !
Maybe the Hist had the Argonians attack the Kumal because they have the Ordained Receptacle and wanted to stop the Kumal before they figured out that the Hist had it and invade Blackmarsh.
I was surprised to hear that nocturnal wants to take over the crystal tower. She is very direct in her intention of taking the tower. I thought she is the most indirect daedric prince, only influencing nirn with her luck. Am i missing something here? Enlighten me oh loremasters
"So as to minimize spoilers if you do care"
*IMMEDIATELY SPOILS THE PROPHET'S IDENTITY*
Thanks dude, really needed that.
Bro the game came out in 2014, everyone knows this
@@Justanobody8472 Ahh yes, because once a game comes out, no one new ever joins later and experiences it for the first time. Certainly not me when I wrote that comment, no sir.
Sterling fuckin logic there, champ. Try again.
... and I can't wait for the next one. Badass video, fellahs. Incidentally, I think the period in Morrowind from Dagoth's cutting off the tribunal to the events of the Nerevarine are Tamrielic lore's high point, its finest hour.
NICE VIDEO MAN, I CANT WAIT FOR THE 3RD ERA VIDEO 👍.
Every time I hear "...this is Scott..." at the beginning of one of these videos I start thinking of an old friend who died a few years back. This always puts me in something of a somber state. Given the overall state of affairs in TES, this state of mind is quite fitting.
I love and hate this at the same time for reasons that should be obvious. Though the sadness that comes back far outweighs being in a good mindstate for a lore video. However that sadness stems from remembering the fun times we had as much as it comes from the fact that I will never see him again. Those are things that I like to think about even if they are bittersweet.
I know this sounds random and is something of a downer, but I really mean this as a thank you. Since at the end of the day things that remind me of those friends I have lost are important to me, because they do this. The only way to remember is to think about what it is you are remembering. Keeping memories alive means activating them often enough so they do not fade off into oblivion. (and I don't think I'll be able to strike up a deal with Hermaeus Mora anytime soon)
addendum: I don't really like the idea of becoming numb to ones own memories. There are memories I have, which I know should come with some emotions, but do not (I am not talking about trivial memories). I recognize them as poor reflections or shadows of reality. I abhor the feeling I get when I know I should feel something but don't. It is as if I have found where I have lost a fragment of my humanity, with that fragment nowhere in sight. Stuff like what I said above can hurt. But that these memories come with associated emotions helps me to keep my humanity in a day when being a decent human seems to be in short supply.
the elder scrolls have made a whole lore and history about it, its beautiful
Boring at home and work, lets watch FUDGEMUPPET!
In the year 420, I still followed the Green Pact religiously if you catch my drift
Yes! More lore videos! Thank you so much
35:17 , the Era of the Murderous Tiber Septim Begins... !
If the empire really cared about levitation spell laws, they would have already arrested the dragon priests.
Honestly these videos are the highlight of my day (sad I know but I don’t care)
Seto Kaiba You are a true friend to Yugi. Not. 😆
Lora Elstad Friends are for losers like Joey Wheeler.
