You're sheltering Elves under your floorboards, aren't you?
Ah, the Shezarrine
Good to see you
Yes, I am currently sheltering dead elf bodies under my floorboards to make sure no one steals my food
Glorious shezzarine may i please enter sovengarde to drink feast and fight with skyrims greatest heroes
Or possibly in....... Ze Attic!
Elfs wanted to steal my moon sugar. Khajiit killed them for it. All the good moon sugar.
If they're gonna rule all of Tamriel they need better embassy security.....hehe.
You know i hear a werewolf got into there embassy and what was left behind was not good for them you got to becareful not to let werewolves in or vampires!
@@supernova582 I also heard a certain red dragon flew over their embassy and then the spirit of a frost giant was summoned in the blizzard. There were no survivors in the embassy except for one drunken business man. No one knows what was behind this savage summoning. But the business man swears he vaguely heard someone yelling odahviing before that nightmare began.

Generic fantasy elves: lives in the woods and is slaughtered by humans.
Tamriel elves: "Bow down to your elven lord, you inferior human filth."
Nah all elves are like that
The generic fantasy elves were like the tamriel elves at one point in their own history but the humans wiped them out and pushed them to being tree lovers
What about warhammer and lotr elves, both are considered fsr more powerful than humans. Warhammer elves are more like tameriel elves where as lotr elves are lawful good.

They think like Sid Meier's Civilizations games AI, denounce other nations for being at war, even if it's a defensive war that they never wanted to be in, then declare war on the nation they just denounced.

Is it really "destruction" if it results in all Mer and Men becoming divine and joining their ancestors in Aetherius?
@@arcanefelinethis is a fan theory that’s been spread so much it’s basically accepted as canon, but there is NO evidence that undoing Mundus is actually possible in this way or that the majority Thalmor see this as the end goal.
And Men do NOT ascend to Aetherius and become divine according to Altmer. Men are inherently different to Mer, not descended from the divine Aedra but instead they are children of traitor Lorkhan, the mortal god the missing god, trickster, etc. And so the only way to ascend from the mortal realm and return to their divine ancestors is to destroy Mankind which is necessarily bound to the mortal plane
^^^ again ALL of this plan is a fan theory extrapolated from very little in-game evidence and taken as scripture by way too many well-meaning fans. And of course I oversimplified everything as well, we could go back to Anu and Padomay and I’d argue that just like in our real universe the forces of Padomay, those of change and chaos, are inherent all existence and fighting those forces in favor of some primordial stasis is delusional at best.
Elves fear change and work to undo it or keep it at bay while yearning for some likely imaginary past where they existed as divines.
Humans fear change too but more often embrace it and use it to their advantage given their shorter lives which results in a more padomaic outlook on the world.
As someone who lives in a real universe (as real as we can know) that is consistently observed to tend towards chaos rather than order or stasis, the Elves are trying to achieve something that was never meant to be, in every Kalpa chaos begins creation and without this chaos there is no new Kalpa there is no reality but there is also likely no Aetherius since all of these realms are tied to the Aurbis which is reset every Kalpa as far as we know
Ok that was the deepest TES metaphysics rabbit hole I’ve sunk myself into in a while, but I hope it kinda makes sense what I’m trying to say.
@@lukasp5892 fair enough.
One of the multitude of reasons I love TES is this abundance of lore and fan theories.
But sometimes people take things too far, lol.
No. We've already seen a Tamriel under the rule of elves:
Fractured and squabbling, more often than not driven apart by their own religious prejudices and physical differences, and their unwillingness to mingle. Despite the elves' deeper wisdom and capacity for magical warfare, it was their disharmony and deeply ingrained superiority complex that did them in time and again:
The Snow Elves, despite living in relative peace with the Nords for some time, ultimately decided to place their desires over the lives of those living in Sarthaal and paid a terrible price for it.
The Ayleids represent the other extreme: They allowed their worship of the daedra to justify the sadistic torture, sacrifice and slavery of those they saw as lesser than themselves. And like the Snow Elves, they paid the price.
The Chimer and their Dark Elf descendants, under the guidance of daedra and demigods, enslaved generation upon generation of beastfolk. And when Dunmer society was rocked by a string of natural and unnatural disasters, when they needed mercy and compassion the most, there was little goodwill to be found from their neighbors to the west, and certainly NONE from the south.
And then of course there's the Dwemer: Perhaps the zenith of elfkind's capacity for arrogance and cruelty. They may not have had the same impact as the Ayleids, but they are a textbook example of those undone by their own hubris and delusions of godhood.
Men and beastfolk aren't perfect by any means, and are guilty of many of the same sins as elves, but at the end of the day, they've simply proven themselves more willing to coexist and build up what they have, as opposed to claiming by force what others do, be it land, freedom or lives.
Anyone else wanna see Summerset burn as vengeance for Saarthal?
@@mattaffenit9898
No. The Snow Elves paid in full for Sarthaal and then some. And Summerset isn't just one big Thalmor moshpit: There are those living there that despise the Dominion.
@@Scotttjt
You assume I care.
@@Scotttjtno thier all stuck up and arrogant listen to 95 percent of high elves in skyrim and eso.
@@Scotttjt given the various references to purges and camps in the domion id say all altmer in summerset all very enthusiastically and openly suport the thalmor those that dont are dead or left. Any opposition to the current leaders is likely very quite
Altmer - “We’re the best to rule Tamriel! We should conquer all of it!”
Bosmer - “Oh gods, you’re not dragging us into this again.”
Dunmer - “That’s dumb! You’re dumb! Fighting the humans always fails! Be like us and chill instead.”
Dunmer- here drink this.
@@FallenRingbearer Khajiit- Here, this one asks that you smoke this.
Didn't they enslave humans in Morrrowind?
@@asteroidalassassin6949 Yes. They also enslaved orcs, khajiit, argonians, and elves, including other dark elves. The Dunmer were equal opportunity employers of prisoners with jobs.
Of course, so weren’t the Altmer, and at least with the Dunmer they didn’t tend to torture their slaves like the Ayleid high elves did. Also, despite some houses’ tendency to use slaves, the dark elves were never imperialists like high elves often tend to be.
Dunmer are nowhere near the powerhouse the Altmer are and have their own shit to deal with, they're not "chill"
the irony is of all is if you play the three different faction story lines in ESO Queen Ayrenn feels like the best pick for the throne. and Shares a more Colovian lime Cosmopolitan view. For starters she went out and traveled the different lands and got to know the people some of the more "fun storries about her include that she sailed as first mate with a pirate captain from Anvil, disguised herself as a Dunmer in order to read the Indigo Scrolls in the vaults of Necrom, bested the Dervishes of Rihad at their own sword-dance, and outdrank Queen Mabjaarn Flame-Hair of Windhelm in a mead-slamming contest. she never says discouraging things about the other races and shows and genuinely respects the traditions of the people in the First Dominion. with the exception of some choice words she has about her own people's attitudes
Queen Aryenn the only good apple in a whole barrel of bad apples
Yeah, but she’s an elf
Pact fanboy. But yeah. King Jorunns son immediately makes me cringe.
Don't remember much of the daggerfall covenant aside from lots of Breton infighting and Darien
If we are talking about the Thalmor here... their distant cousins, the Ayleids, had that chance and look at where it got them.
How dare you compare Ayleids to mighty Altmer
To be fair, they got deus ex machina'd by a damn terminator blessed by the gods themselves.
Men are better than mer, but the Dark Elves are the best mers
@Wirr Ling because their lifespans are shorter
that wasn't REAL Ayleid Superiority.

Shor: BFG Division starts playing…
I honestly think the Thalmor corrupted the Aldmeri Dominion and turned it away from what it was intended to be. I get a feeling Ayrenn intended the Aldmeri Dominion to be akin to what the vulcan are to humans in Star Trek: Enterprise (the only Star Trek show I watched willingly with my mom and I am not a Star Trek fan by any means), which was guides, advisors, and counselors who helped humanity as if humanity were like a little brother. The Thalmor seem to me to be the ones who are keen on keeping wounds open and seek to punish humans that were not around (and thus not responsible for what happened) for the Warp of the West and Tiber Septim's conquest and becoming Talos.
By that logic you can almost say that Thalmor are like the Romulans of The Elder Scrolls.
Iirc you're generally right. The third Aldmeri Dominion is a reboot of a reboot and was distilled down to an extremist group. It's why the Psijics separated during the first or second iterations and why The Mythic Dawn became a thing I think. The Third Dominion is supposedly generally disliked by Altmer society (remember they call themselves *Aldmeri* to distinguish themselves from the latter generations of Altmer to justify including Khajiit and Bosmer who remain relatively unchanged) and they've essentially supplanted the throne in Alinor with the supposition that they're doing their race a service by patrolling Tamriel and essentially being "peacekeepers".
Note, I'm secretly in love with the Altmer, but I sure af couldn't say in good conscience that deserve anything less than total humiliation, defeat and dissolution.
Just saying.
@@poochyenajones1362 Possibly, but like I said, I am not a Star Trek fan. Despite willingly watching Star Trek: Enterprise, I have only watched a handful of episodes with my mom. I have not seen many of the episodes dealing with the Romulans to make that comparison.
@@NOHTenma I have heard a little about that. I think it was during the second iteration of the Aldmeri Dominion that the Psijic Order separated because in ESO their region is still technically part of the Summerset Isles. As for the Mythic Dawn, I have limited knowledge of them as I have not played Oblivion yet. I only know that they are responsible for the Oblivion Crisis and got Uriel Septim killed.
I like playing as an Altmer myself in the Elder Scrolls series. My character in Skyrim thinks that the Thalmor are rotten apples that have spoiled the bunch and have given Altmer a very bad name, especially in the region of Skyrim where she was born. I will admit Altmer are easy to write as butt monkeys due to the stereotype that they are usually seen as being (haughty and in need of some lessons in humility and humbleness).
@Nii Lantei Bright-Davies Which is unfortunate.
Short answer: Hell no!
Long answer: Oh HAAAAAAAAAAAAAYLL NO!
I concur.
I believe the correct Ebonics translation of no is "naw".
Here before Rolff Stone-Fist copy-strikes this video
Theory: Rolff is actually a Wandering Ehlnofey who's still p*ssed off about how the Old Ehlnofey treated him.

@@gabrielarchangel2658the Aldmeri Dominion is probably going to get destroyed at some point in the future lore. Humans are always going to come out on top because the entire fictional universe is developed and designed by humans and marketed to humans for the sake of playing a game.

How does one best describe our Dread Father? Imagine a perfect, cloudless midnight, cold as winter ice and shrouded in shadow. That is Sithis.
Please contact the Night Mother for customer relations and we will solve all of your issues.
Last emperor Killed Recommended our services : I told him you can't stop the Dark Brotherhood. Never could.
Titus Mede II died like a champ. No begging, no screaming, no crying, no running... took it like a real man. I press F for him.
There is no 'Night Mother', as Daedra are both sexes, Sithis never broke that rule (that rebel Gods broke and continued to do so to drive their own tales of petty lusts and guilt) and never took a mortal female and no Mortal female ever took to shim as a partner - he she it destroyed he she its own children. He She It is of the Void and thus Null and made/unmade shimself. There is nothing but Sithis and Sithis for itself, oneself, evil, whole and complete, a masterstroke of an entire masterpiece. The Dark Elves are all liars and have incorporated and indoctrinated what is Daedric to try to protect Nirn from the Daedra's true, brutal, extreme and total existence!!
@@mjag2834 The Night Mother, is the bride of Sithis, the Dread Father of the Dark Brotherhood. Those who wish to have someone assassinated pray to the Night Mother by performing the Black Sacrament, and she extends their requests to her Listener, who in turn passes the task on to the Speakers. It is debatable whether she was a single person, a title passed down through the eras, or an immortal spirit.
Sithis is neither an Aedra nor a Daedra. Although usually referred to as male by the Dark Brotherhood, Sithis, like most deities, has no gender
@@im_a_simulation433 The Night Mother was a Dark Elf - and once again - a likely story...the Dark Elves have been deterring mortalkind from Daedra for aeons. I believe the Night Mother never existed, and perhaps Astrid and those at the Falkreath Sanctuary believed that too...who knows...
I agree, those are the facts. But then again so are flying dragons, and giant spiders...does it really matter???
I definitely feel a lot for Ayrenn. I feel like she genuinely looked at her her own people and saw their potential in being effective, powerful, and benevolent rulers of Tamriel. She was just very lonely when it came to getting support from her own race, which was supposed to be the forefront of the Dominion. It mostly feels like she had the potential to be one of the greatest rulers in Tamriel, but her dreams of her Dominion just kinda fell through because her own people did not share her dream.
I may be biased because I like the Aldmeri questline more than the Pact's or Covenant's (and is the only one that I've finished), but I still feel like she was the better of the alternatives at the time.
I'll pay you guys money to write an Elder Scrolls book. Not even kidding. You guys are so good
Given the Mer cultures'track records, they have no business whining about the viciousness or barbarity of Men. Let's face it, Tamriel is marred by the primal discord between Anu and Padomay-it's not a peaceful world. Conflict is inherent in its cosmic source code.
That's perhaps the biggest detriment to the elven capability of ruling tamriel
They wish to inflict anu's perfect unchaging order unto the house of sithis itself, they see themselves as superiors for not bending to the ever changing nature of mundus, and yet they are the most changed by it. They wage wars, enslave, and genocide no more and no less than men but they are blinded by righteousness to their own contradictions

@@obijuanquenobi1911 elves are no different to men, they just see themselves as dofferent

I just misread the title of this video as "Should Elvis Rule All Tamriel".
Well Elvis is the King
Elvis to go from King of Freeside to Tamriel
yes.
*YES*
Ahh uh huh !
The High Elves seem more likely to oppress than gently govern. I would hope that one day an ecumenical and peaceful government could emerge without the xenophobia that plagued Nirn for so long. The Cyrodillic Empires are as close as we've come thus far.... And I often play as Elves. Usually as a cosmopolitan Bosmer who doesn't follow the green pact.
Well, at least they didn't conquer they provinces by force like septim empire did. AD history less oppressive in general and not built on genocide and betrayals. It d be highly interesting how d they rule without 4E thalmor.
Really?
How about everyone governs themselves.
I think it was a small group from among the snow elves that actually were responsible for the night of tears. Sadly, the whole race suffered for the crimes of the few.
Yeah I feel like that’s a theme with the elves, with all of the chimer becoming dunmer for the actions of the tribunal and the Dwemer disappearing with the actions of just kagrenac
Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this.
This is Helgen, I used to be sweet on a girl from here.
Hey, what village are you from WfxRS?
The Mer are pretty ruthless to others and even their own but maybe the High Elves (non-Thalmor) are able to rule Tamriel as peacefully as it can be. Still, the Septim Empire did a fine job uniting all of Tamriel. Violent conquests but mostly peaceful government.
The War of the Red Diamond, the Invasion of the Continent of Akavir, etc all happened under the Septim Empire.
It wasn't a peaceful, totally great time...
there were MANY rebellions throughout the centuries of imperial rule, not peaceful at all
22:29 This is literally the point, each race has the capability to only rule over their own. Any and all attempts at assimiliation of the other races through intricate peace treaties or outright conquest through martial superiority ALWAYS leads to bloodshed and war. The one and only inevitable truth is that eventually all the races of Nirn will experience some sort of Ragnarok at the end of all times, and the souls of everyone residing upon the Mundus will seperate into their respective Anuic and Padomaic origins, leading to both Mundus and Aetherius collapsing and rejoing the primordial, cosmic amoebas of pure power that are Anu and Padomay.
I like to point out that the Aldmeri Dominion in Skyrim is the third incarnation of such an organization. The third Dominion.... Well that explains the Gestapo Squads rounding up all the Talos worshippers.
As humans, let's kick some Thalmor ass with steel plate boots. There is no better material than steel. I love it. Thou i like the silver-sword design the most
you know what's funny the all mighty Dominion who it seemed had the Empire Finished ready to be vanquished yet some reason they offered a peace treaty right after Mankind made a push back and regained the capital.
You can color me impressed that I was on my phone as soon as the notification that this video was uploaded showed up, yet there were already 10 comments and 24 likes by the time it pulled up. Keep up the solid content that inspires such dedication lads
Thalmor: Nooo mer are the most civilized and must rule Tamriel!
Ayleids: Haha flesh sculptures go brrrrr
True. Yes the Elves have had their wrongdoings and their BS problems, but for all their worth, they rarely ever actually start wars themselves (perhaps the Direnni may have, after a while, but only amongst themselves, and the Bretons haven't exactly stopped it)
Think about it; what major contributions did Humans make in the early Era's of Tamriel? Most all Governments and Provinces can trace their systems and foundations upon Elven sophistication.
The Empire now? It was built upon what the Aylieds had established. High Rock? Elven dominance built it up to what it is today. Morrowind? Always has been Elves.
Only case where civilization has flourished without Mer are the Beast Races. They have their own things going on, but Humans? Bottom of the pile.
Other than the Nords, who slaughtered every Snow Elf they came across, they built up their own stuff, but even then, they only ever got the chance to settle Skyrim since the Snow Elves let them into their province in the first place.
Technically, the humans were the ones who kept on coming to Tamriel since they screwed up their own Continents, if you look at history.

The elves as a whole? No. Ayrenn as empress though? That I might be okay with. She's a good egg.
Though only if she rules not as an enforcer of elven supremacy but as a protector of all races.
She would be, if she had been put on the throne. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if it was eventually made canon the Thalmor prevented her from obtaining the throne
@@brendanclark1058 yeah, the current Thalmor in Skyrim definitely share qualities with the Veiled Inheritance.

From Stormcloak to imperial, let us set our differences asside and let us kick Thalmor asses together as one. They deserve it. They are the true enemy. And a reason why We( i am mostly Khajiit thou) want to go away from the empire. Plus the ban of Talos worshipping.
I have a soft spot for the altmer. I get their perspective. Long life spans, and a culture that emphasizes that they are descendents of something greater and divine. And a longing to return back to where they came from. Aliens on this false reality of nirn.
Their architecture is amazing, everyone is so pristine and clean and beautiful.
Also queen ayrenn. Aside from her being voiced by kate beckinsale who has an amazing voice, I liked her and Raz.
Sadly... Altmer hearts as a whole throughout the ages are clouded with evil. Hope to see good elves taking over.
Also want to see more psijic order in future games. They're so cool.
A well structured argument, of which I commend you, unfortunately it is about Altmer being good, so I must disagree.
They're also a bunch of salty assholes.
Plus, not all of them are like this. An Altmer Legate in the imperial legion hates the thalmor and saw other Altmers get massacred for opposing the thalmor. He’s stationed in skyrim to keep a watch on them

Ahh so I was driving home from work and put this on my blue tooth to listen while I drive, and a lady pulled out infront of me. Everyone is ok, and both cars are drivable, it just sucks.
After the dust settled I was able to have Drews calm, relaxing voice to help me relax, and help me forget about my problems for at least twenty minutes
Thank you Drew, sometimes all I need is a reprieve from the stress of life.
ESO is so close to my heart- thank you for representing the visuals from the game so heavily in your newer videos.
The mer are wise, the men are strong.
The leadership of Tanriel should lay in the balance of the two, just as the Aurbis exists in the balance of Anu's stasis and Padomay's change.
But you forgot the reason for that inability. Intrinsic Pride and racism
@@kevind3974 from both sides, yes. The Alessian empire attempted that same but the humans slaughtered their Ayleid allies from the rebellion.
Of course not, Tamriel belongs to the bretons.
@wolf bane Wasn't Talos a breton? They kind of already do rule Tamriel from that perspective
@wolf bane Talos was a Kahjiit
@wolf bane it was worth a shot...

Unironically yes elven emperors with their long lifespans would rarely have succession crises and live long enough to see huge projects completed
True. Yes the Elves have had their wrongdoings and their BS problems, but for all their worth, they rarely ever actually start wars themselves (perhaps the Direnni may have, after a while, but only amongst themselves, and the Bretons haven't exactly stopped it)
Think about it; what major contributions did Humans make in the early Era's of Tamriel? Most all Governments and Provinces can trace their systems and foundations upon Elven sophistication.
The Empire now? It was built upon what the Aylieds had established. High Rock? Elven dominance built it up to what it is today. Morrowind? Always has been Elves.
Only case where civilization has flourished without Mer are the Beast Races. They have their own things going on, but Humans? Bottom of the pile.
Other than the Nords, who slaughtered every Snow Elf they came across, they built up their own stuff, but even then, they only ever got the chance to settle Skyrim since the Snow Elves let them into their province in the first place.
Technically, the humans were the ones who kept on coming to Tamriel since they screwed up their own Continents, if you look at history.

Want us to make another elven race disappear beneath the earth? Because it can be aranged, elf-kin.
We remember Saarthal.
Matt Affenit I dare say Nord you have the wrong mer. You hate the empire, we hate the empire. It’s those dunmer you should be angry at, what have they done to support your cause?
@@azadisoleil6319
I don't hate the Empire, I hate what the Thalmor did to it. The Dunmer fought alongside us in the Second Era - and we stand by our allies. You, however, have been shown time and again to be cowards who would rather betray an ally than stand with them.
Matt Affenit not all Altmer are Thalmor. A lot really hate the uptight stuffy nazi like Altmer attitude.
ah, this was a great one! I play AD in ESO... but sometimes I'm not so sure about Queen Ayrenn becoming empress. Then I look at the center of the Planemeld above the White-Gold tower, and I am reminded... the Three-Banners War is not a war that strives for lasting peace. It is a war of endless domination.
If Elven superiority were true, their own Gods wouldn't continually sack their kingdoms
@michel durant The Gods never try to wipe them out entirely, but they continually have to keep Elven pride in check and have succeeded every time they've tried
Only a human ever JOINED them
I’m creating a word to describe the high elves “over civilized”
Well, I'd rather over civilized than under civilized, like the Nords are

Great video, youve done such a great job on your channel i always enjpy seeing one of your videos in my feed.
They already had their chance and failed
They should feel free to try again as long as they actually bring something new to the table and actually prove they’re better rulers than they once were.
@@Valencetheshireman927 considering their whole thing is not changing, probably not no
This video actually intrigued me for as soon as I saw it I started thinking about all the possibilities that would happen like the court system and new laws that the elves would bring to the land of Tamriel I find this topic interesting for I saw the court system is based on the elves own biases and how unfair it would be for the other none elf races but that's where the imagination begins because we don't know the answer and it's up only to the interpretation of the topic
@michel durant Microsoft might 😬
Even then it would be cool to have some interim game that would be another Warp in the... World. Elven Rule; a la The Hidden City mod play. The player has to keep repeating the same time frame to figure out how it happened and how to stop it, just with more budget money and engine thrust.
It's a pointless "wtf" game to tide us over until TESVI
@michel durant I know you most likely don’t actually think like this- elder scrolls fans just have this weird complex where they act like they believe these things- but it’s obvious and proven that your statement is false.
FudgeMuppet: * Uploads this video *
**Ulfric Stormcloak would like to know your location**
The better question is "should the dragonborn (aka me) rule all of tamriel?" and the answer is yes. By the end of skyrim nobody alive can stop me, so why fight for the either empire or the stormcloaks when i could just take over the world by myself? And i mean *by myself*, i don't even need an army by that point.
u can just tame 1000 dragons and rule the whole world with peace and prosperity... or with dictatorship and suffering. Who the heck cares? You are unstoppable! (traitors can be FUS RO DAh from the Troat of the world) (Blades should be destroyed cause they are dumb) (nazeem should be sent to Cold Harbor)
True, Tiber septim did it, why can’t the last Dragonborn take the septim name and reform the empire?
Exactly
One thing is the game, and another the Lore.
Good idea
I think we all know who needs to rule Tamriel and indeed the whole universe...
It's me
I disagree, Jyggles the Prince of Jaggle, high priest of Lagspikes. Trinimac should rule.
@@mattaffenit9898 IM SORRY WHAT!!!

I love how their videos are done almost like a real world documentary (with the occasional comment like they’re a tour guid)😂
this is a real good one my dude
Bruh, u killed thiz vid! The tone, dialect & ambiance that the music & in game shotz set a perfect setting for the recounting of thiz epic. My only critique would be to add more high quality fan art 2 break up the monotony of game shotz. Still, stellar job. I still come back 2 these vidz 2day, usually while playing ESO.
I asked 4 chan, they kept going on about securing a place for their people and something about Bretons being impure

Wow. Big nord fan, never play high elf. Hearing Drew read that intro speech almost had me making an Altmer character. ALMOST
Imperial is the best...
Seems you nords somehow get along better with Altmer better than those dark elves
@@azadisoleil6319 how do you mean?
Jimothy Jimmz The Altmer not tied to the dominion or college in Skyrim seem to be not treated as poorly. That one In Windhelm of all places herself said she was able to get a place of respect. Those two in Solitude seem ok. Dunmer don’t seem as lucky.
Personally I prefer the dark elves. Been through more so much tougher. I don’t like stone-fist or the gnisis owner, take each person as an individual. But the dunmer are half like that, half let’s just work hard. I’d play a dunmer before Altmer. Too haughty

Well considering the Thalmor plan to destroy Nirn to ascend to their “rightful” place in Aetherius I wouldn’t say so
@@yesiamawatermelon4126 By that logic, opposimg Mehrunes Dagon was a mistake. Afterall, he also wanted to destroy the Towers.
@@TheBayzent He did not want to acsnenfld nirn he wanted to conquer it
@@yesiamawatermelon4126
Since when have Altmer ever been that altruistic? Their priority is high elves first, other mer if there's time, and screw literally everyone else.
I finished the DawnGuard DLC yesterday and this time I paid attention and I must say I felt sad at the Snow Elves story. I know they attacked the Nords at Saarthal but does that give the Nords the right to exterminate an entire race? I found myself asking the question, if I were in the Snow Elves position what would I do when an alien race rocked up and started taking over my homeland.
@michel durant ..I'm not saying the Thalmor are right in their thinking. I just think its a whole bundle of complication which has no right or wrong answer.
It was their land, they were very tolerant before the attack on Saarthal. And I don't know much about it (except that Tamriel has the "unreliable narrator"), but I bet the nords provoked them into it. Other than the Ayleids being obviously (mostly) evil to the core and the Dunmer having their slave trade, I can't see where "all elves evil" comes from. (I'm a Dunmer supremacist but I can see why others wouldn't want them ruling...)
@@Aethuviel It was the Snow Elves’ land first and they were tolerable of the Nords firstly. And the truth is, we don’t know what truly happened at Sarthal. Personally, I believe what we see in game is likely merely what was told by Ysgramor- Nord “propaganda.” History is written by the victors after all. In fact, I’ve seen videos Scott theories that the Snow Elves didn’t attack the Nords at all. And the fact we now know the Eye of Magnus was there during that time... We definitely don’t have the complete picture.
Everyone blames the Nords, but not the Dwemer. Wtf. You all do know that the Falmer survived well beyond Ysgramor's time, right? They warred countless times with the Nords over centuries, and kept losing, until finally, the Snow Prince fell at the Moesring. Even after that length of time, there were enough surviving Snow Elves to seek refuge with a far crueler neighbour. I honestly doubt Ysgramor even committed genocide. The kings after him? Maybe, but everyone seems to wrongly assume all the Falmer were gone by the time Ysgramor's own life and reign was over, which simply is not true.
@@356MONKEYMAN , it's called "genocide" when ur kind is killed because of ur ethnicity, especially if nords killed around 85% of them no matter kids or women. And going by this logic nords also deserve good old genocide because they did exactly the same "Saarthal" to the dunmer having no reason for it besides "why not?". Obviously they used it as excuse to conquer land and get rid of the locals.
Dwemer were real dickheads though.
Wow man you're gonna be at 1 mill subs soon!!
Is there of a video of this caliber about the Daggerfall covenant or the Ebonheart Pact? thatd be sick
ESO's Summerset is GOD DAMN amazing.
I think that Elves should rule all of Tamriel, in particular the Aldmeri Dominion. personally.
Can you do a video on whether killing Amand Montiuerr (the guy who assign the assassination of Titus Mede) is a good idea? and possible lore consequences for both decisions.
Keep up the good work!
Bro had a glass dagger at his throat during this.
With the mention of the Direnni could they be a subject of a new video later?
I dunno if they have enough to fill a video.

Beautiful shots of Alinor from Elder Scrolls Online!!
Uhhhh, not if we want more Elder Scrolls games.
Idk people love the underdog. They sure as hell couldn't hold it so a rebellion of some kind is inevitable. Wether social or political the game could have some epoc quests
@@colonagray2454 And the player character becomes a reincarnation of Pelinal Whitstrake
Honestly no one should rule tamriel, each state has the right to be free, thats the better option, no Empire and no supreme rulers, and now they dont have the nunidium nor someome like talos to maintain the land united under one name
When the nations are free, they fight and kill one another. When the Empire is in charge, people live (mostly) in peace. Of course, in an ideal world there would be no need for governments or rulers, and we'd all live as autonomous anarchic collectives; but neither Earth nor Mundus are ideal worlds.
Then who the fuck would secure the dragonfires?
@Giorgos Georgiou whats funny is that the Septim Empire didn't even have to conquere Skyrim, High Rock, Elsweyr and Morrowind. They just joined in. Proving it wasn't with force.
@@Werrf1 i'm not talking about anarchism, i'm talking about actual states, like what we have on earth, empires never last long and always end in chaos and destruction
@@Daniel-cl7kx Empires bring peace and stability. Multiple small states bring war and chaos. Like we have on earth -when empires fall, chaos and destruction are rampant. That's an argument FOR empires, not against them.
To quote Kurt Russel from Tombstone (regarding the Thalmor):
"From now on I see a red sash, I kill the man wearing it. So run you cur. And tell the other curs the law is coming. You tell 'em I'm coming! And Hell's coming with me you hear! Hell's coming with me!"
I would like to see justice done for the Falmer.
Does time travel exist in the Elder Scrolls universe (yet)?
If they "use the White-Gold Tower" to turn Cyrodiil into a jungle again, then they've got my vote.
The easiest argument against elvish rule is a fact. If elves ever where ment to rule there unity and their kingdoms would never have fallen by the repeating interference of gods. The elven gods don't smile upon them. They punish them at every possible point.
lets not pretend the gods aren't malevolent and egocentric. Only doing things in order to be worshipped and kept powerful. these elves are a direct threat to their godhood, they have a goal of reclaiming their true place.
Well not the Bosmer they've survived many thousands of years and where never destroyed by the Gods also I don't think all Bosmer agree/ally with the Thalmor. Also my 4 favorite races are: Argonion, Orc, Bosmer, Khajit
Morrigan KASA The Bosmer were getting massacred by the Thalmor. They must be really brain dead if they think allying with the Thalmor would do them any good
@@obijuanquenobi1911 right so like I was implying that the Bosmer are a decent elven race
Morrigan KASA also, nirn is flat. Fight me
No. They claim elven supremacy. Anyone who claims they are superior at birth don't deserve anything
so like pretty much every race but the Argonians and Khajiit?
idk which games you've been playing but, that ain't just the elves
Is Micah an Elf?
@@gaywoman420 Khajiit claim Azura made them the perfect being. It's not like they are exempt from this line of thought.
@@oldensten3337 no one deserves to rule. Except the mighty Talos.
Can you have videos that go in depth with your builds stories? I love listen to the build stories as I'm playing and I think it would be cool if you guys had the story for say the arcane worrier or vampire temptress put in a lot more detail
Sup guys was just wandering if ye will ever do a video on the conjunction of spheres from the witcher I know I'm not on a witcher video just a topic that interest me highly
Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
No the Khajiit should rule not just Tamriel, but all of Nirn
Yes, finally. Love Khajiits.
i still need to get a chance to play an elf because i like maged (i play bretons alot so thats close right?), but still, the thalmor as of now are zionist REALLY bordering with how they treat mortals and even other elves. The last time elves also has ruling power over multiple mortal races well...we had Ysgramor, Pelinal, and The Argonian Revolution in response (and probably more)
It is fascinating that their God of Justice is the same as their God of Wild Luck
