In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we explain the mysterious eastern continent; Akavir.
Dragonbreaks: • The MOST Confusing Con...
Godhead, CHIM & Amaranth: • There is Only ONE God ...
Complete Guide to Gods: • The COMPLETE Guide to ...
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

"Mortals can't simply learn to become Dragons".... * *Martin Septim intensify* *
Well, to be fair, he didn't learn. He became an aspect of Akatosh as a reaction to the Ruby. He also can't repeat the lesson or demonstrate ot again, so there's that...
Typical uneducated Nedes
I mean, Martin didn't *BECOME* a dragon, he merely took on the form of Akatosh and fought Dagon, and now he can't ever do it again.
@@DracoSafarius I'd say it's pretty hard to turn into a dragon when you're dead, so yeah?
That's funny if consider that sean bean plays martin septim and boromir and then you remember the meme: one does not simply walks into mordor
I can't be the only one that wants "The Elder Scrolls: Akavir"
Definitely would want to play as a japanese snake-man
How about TES: Nirn?
Akavir is just not that interesting on it's own because we have no real connection with it. It would be great for a DLC.
@@leediaz5690 would be either far too big or far too watered down
ill take your entire stock
So basically the "people" of Kung Fu Panda but more feral
kung fu panda on steroid and evil demons possession
It's been thousands of years they don't land in Tamriel. We don't even know if they are still ferals or even look like animals. They're probably what would be the asians of Mundus, the Blades and their armors, swords and temples are a big hint to that. I wouldn't be surprise if the ancient descriptions of the Akaviri are actually costumes from their festivals, similar to what we have in China and other asian countries.
Got a good kick outta this lol
@@gamblerfls A good speculation but can we really assume they’ve altered so physically over time? The argonians and khajits of Tamriel have been consistent in their forms for centuries. Although, I do hope they were all truly in armor that made them seem like “beast men” that scared the first foreigners 🤯
@@STAR-bc5xc I mean...they better still be Tiger/Dragon beast men should they ever appear in an Elder Scrolls game. Otherwise, I'm breaking into Todd's house and eat his cookie stash
I hear them snakes in Akavir have thin swords, THIN SWORDS!! Edit: how the fuck did this shitty joke get 160 likes?
Perhaps the Tsaesci, like Kajit, have multiple forms? Some more rare than others? Humanoids might be the most common, but perhaps the half snakes were Alphas of a sort?
Maybe
Given how different the varieties of Khajiit are, that's entirely possible.
If anthropomorphic cat and (almost) wood elf can have a child that's an 8ft tall Sabre Tooth all the while the uncle looks like a house cat, then everything's possible.
If it weren’t for the Tsaesci, we wouldn’t have the Dragonguard. There’s many theories about them, and you made a good point. But it’s also because we know so little about the race it freaking terrifies me.
They invaded Tamriel looking for a Dragonborn. After the assassination of the Last Akaviri Potentate, The Interregnum began. I believe the Tsaesci will invade again very soon. The return of the Last Dragonborn during a time of chaos in a falling empire, when you think about it, isn’t a coincidence.
@@crazyhercules9442 Perhaps the Tsaesci will show up as refugees as well as invaders after suffering critical defeats from the Ka Po'Tun.
One word, Yuan-ti.
These are the type of videos where you can start a new play through of Skyrim and become immersed. These are the types of videos that give me a reason to play the game no matter what. Thank you FudgeMuppet for yet another great video.
-A Fan
It's easy to tell you're a fan mate
"Akavir is the greatest threat to tamerial"
*Oblivion: am i a joke to you?*
*cries in Molag Bal's plane meld*
*laughs in argonian*
Oblivion is the greatest threat to the enter planet of Nirn, not just a single continent
Also, am I the only one who imagines the argonians just eating those buff sandwiches from castle crashers and becoming absolute buff muscle monsters of death whenever a daedra decides to invade?
Considering how badly the Daedra lost in Black Marsh I would say yes
Me: Man, it's five in the morning and I work in 3 hours. I should probably go to bed.
Fudgemuppet: *Uploads new video
Me: I can spare 15 minutes
No one:
Not even Dylan Szalay:
Fudge Muppet at 5 am: ''I had you figured for a mage. I think you'll appreciate this :)''
A true scholar right here
Same atm lol
An Akavirian invasion would be a great story for ES 6 imo...!
Thor Boysen Maybe they’ll see a weak Empire, and the extermination of their influence on Imperial culture (with the death of the Blades and lost influence of many guilds founded by them) and attempt to retake the Imperial City.
@@baronofbahlingen9662 Yeah! And it would be cool to see the tsaesci, the snake people that feed on humans...!
As would the Slode
It's been 200 years since Nerevarine went there, who knows what goes on in the Akavir except Nerevarine, maybe we can get a book ingame which is authored by Nerevarine, where he writes about his events in The Akavir ! :)
Bethesda would probably set the game in one of the provinces to the West and the NPCs talking about how the akaviri have invaded Tamriel. This means the akaviri probably won't reach the province the player is in. Also would still keep akaviri people mysterious in some way because we still wouldn't be seeing them.
Tsaesci: Japan
Ka’Po’Tun: China
Tang Mo: India
Kamal: Russia
Pretty accurate considering what we know
Shit ! Just like how Tamriel is a mix of mostly European cultures, Akavir can be a mix of all-asian cultures :D
@@SanilJadhav711 Redguard -> Arabian
Arabian -> Asian
did you say all Asian cultures
@@g4fly4ever8 For some reason most Westerners don't consider the Middle East as part of Asia.
@@g4fly4ever8 Redguards are moors
There should've been more akaviri temples in skyrim... but then sky haven would've been less special
I know theres a big one in rimmen. Dont know if were ever getting an elsweyr game tho
That Ka Po'Tun feller better pray to the gods that the Dovakhiin don't show up cuz he does 38,756 unarmed damage thanks to some handy guides lul
My khajiit and his dragon bone bow does over 990,000,000 damage - before adding any sneak multipliers. That's in vanilla Skyrim from using the alchemy/enchanting loop exploit. Is that a lot? 😁
@@thewhat531 Unfortunately yes, you run the risk of crashing the game with digits that dope my dude
*laughs In Morrowind Alchemist*
we are waiting
@@excessiveone9952 And the Nerevarine actually went to Akavir.
I always thought the dragonguard was created by the remaining humans fleeing from akavir because if I remember correctly the army that is beaten by Reman Cyrodiil is never directly refered to as entirely made up of Tsaesci.
Also if I remember correctly there is the ghost of an Akaviri Human in a quest in Oblivion who wears a dragonguard armour.
True
The Akaviri Dragonguard probably came to Tamriel to hunt dragons, they crossed Morrowind, Skyrim and High Rock, but then retreated to the Pale Pass and were stuck, because of the harsh weather and the supply line was cut by Vivec and his soldiers. Then Reman came from south and you know the rest...
Reman saw this as an opportunity and allowed them to settle. Versidue-Shae , who was with the invaders, is described as tsaesci, so they were most likely tsaesci warroirs. After the Assassination of Reman III. the Dragonguard was disbanded, because of their failure to protect him and a new guard named the Honor Guard protected the Potentates. There is a stone tablet in ESO of an Honor Guard member named Sadineras-Kos, who committed some kind of suicide ritual, after Emperor Kastav died.
Maybe they have a second snake form. Or it is just Tamriel propagand to make them look bad.
@@eatsthedarkness8059 I'm sure they would have recruited from the local provinces as they were invading and would have had a mixed army as a result, in our real world that was how some longer classical and medieval era military campaigns were able to continue
If Tosh-Raka was the largest dragon on Nirn during the times of Mysterious Akavir's publication wouldn't that make him the only dragon of the time of it's publication known?
Dragons never really went extinct or disappeared, iirc. Some just went into hiding after the Dragon War.
@@mainaccount3087 I know that much, that's obvious. But almost all dragons died and the few that survived and hid didn't come out often. To the point where 99% of everyone on Tamriel believed they had been extinct since the First Era or longer. ESO seems to be retconning this a bit apparently but I think that's kind of retarded. I realize Bethesda doesn't work on ESO directly but it's so stupid to reton lore of the very last game in the series to have been released prior to ESO.
@@Priceluked No, ESO is really retconning anything. 200 years befor ESO the last Dragon is killd in Skyrim and a few hundred years after, Tiber Septim used Dragons in his army. Dragons were not that special in the second era
@@bebo2629 That's still a retcon from the main games lore. The lore in Skyrim and mainline games back to Arena was that the dragons were widely believed to be extinct. Tiber Septim had one dragon that served him, and we don't know much about it other than it was the only one under Septim and the last under Septim.
[Gasp]
So im just going to ask. Make a video about history of skooma.
I hope we get to see some of these races in future games there’s so much Bethesda could do with them.
Pikachu Yeah, maybe not in full invasions but as a small settlements of the ka po tum or the tiger people would be cool
i meant tang mo
You think Akavir is hot stuff? Try out Lyg.
@foxycommie Lmaooooo
@foxycommie GOTTEM !!!
@foxycommie nice.
Lyg is long gone homie, old City Face took that shit out a while ago.
R.I.P Lyg
Am I the only one that loves all the different and amazing types of architecture in the elder scrolls?? 😧 where are my architecture buddies and students out there??
(Edit) babies who get triggered- have a beautiful day 😚
Yes, you are the only one. No one else loves that. Only you.
@@Soumada.
Yes, you are super special, nobody loves that architecture. Not even the thousands of fans who are on this channel and others.
@Arkady Summerset was disappointing the crystal architect and insect wing structure replace with boring Anor Londo rip off how generic
I honestly feel you. Love all the types of architecture, from Summerset to that nordic architecture of windhelm. I also hate that in the heartfire dlc you can't change the style of architecture and you are stuck with the generic whiterun architectural style.
@@moiserares6974 my favourite is the Sky Heaven temple, both inside and outside, indeed it would be great if the dlc had different styles that you could build a house, maybe based on location too - like you could make the house the same style like the ones in the nearest city
Really good and interesting vid. Instantly clicked when I got the notification
Lets go Ka'Po'Tum! They are very interesting and curious
The tsaesci seem the most interesting to me
Playing Skyrim whilst continuously trying to update FudgeMuppet’s CZcams channel at 6:30 this morning until the new vid gets uploaded acting like I’m not addicted to both 👀
We need a game set during the Akaviri invasion to know the truth
i really hope we get some appearances of akavir inhabitants in Elder Scrolls VI
How amazing would it be if one of the future Elder Scrolls games dealt with the arrival of Tosh Raka.
Compared to the other options for leadership, an enlightened tiger-dragon doesn't seem like a bad choice tbh
this upload schedule is amazing, keep up the good work!
I can't imagine the pressures feel for daily uploads. Make sure to put priority in your mental well being first, we as subscribers will always be grateful for the loves you given to your contents. :)
I used to watch Oxhorn everyday when he was releasing Fallout content everyday, now were lucky to get a Fallout video once a week. But in the last month Fudgemuppet has been releasing consistent content and now this channel is at the top of my subscriber list. Keep up the good work guys, you're amazing
Great video Fudge! Love diving into your videos and getting lost in the elder scroll world - your voice is also very good! 👍
Thank you for your hard work and effort in bringing us this great content!!
I love this video and the Akaviri location mods in it. I'm really hoping Akavir invades Tamriel again for TESVI. There should be a future video of what TESVI would be like if Akavir invades again.
Wow! An Akavir episode? Y'all are consistently pumping out awesome content, guys. Keep it up!
I love every video that comes out of this channel. You guys are seriously underrated.
I absolutely love all of these videos! They are not only incredibly interesting but also quite relaxing.
I just love the way Drew says Fudgemuppet.
I just want to say thank you for your videos! I'm having a hard day- I have to go get a root canal in a few hours. The pain of the cavity, and the anxiety of the wait, has been very stressful. But these videos have been a great distraction/entertainment, helping me to forget the stress at least a little bit.
This would be a great DLC the dragonborns final mission Slay Tosh Roka the Last dragon!
Bethesda should REALLY make Elder Scrolls VI about a war between tamriel and akavir and allow you to travel to both continents
It would be too big of a game, and there would be loads of empty spaces in places like black marsh and morrowind
I was waiting for this one. Thank you.
Where is “Dark elf, is it worth it?!?!?”
I love videos like this. Very glad I found your channel
Great video. I never realized the people of the first Akaviri invasion weren't human. I was under the impression that were long-lived humans for some reason. As always, thanks so much for the rich lesson in Elder Scrolls lore.
I think there's a Theory that some of the Humans from Ionith were enslaved to fight for the Tsaesci during their Invasion
If I’m remembering correctly, when the text said the Tsaesci devoured the humans, don’t believe it meant eaten. It can also mean conquer depending on use. To conquer a nation, devour its people into submission. Like they ‘devoured’ the red and black dragons. While trying to do the same with Tamriel. Sure they most likely ate what slaves they didn’t need for labor, but being eaten to extinction kinda contradicts the Akaviri becoming dragon slayers for the Tsaesci as their Dragon Guard. Before they eventually pledged their allegiance to Tiber Septim, centuries later. I could just be contradicting myself here, but again it’s been a while since I’ve read the lore.
I literally thought the Akaviri who invaded and swore allegiance to Reman were human Akaviri. Like asiatic style humans.
According to some sources, they are humans while other sources claim they are serpents, we simply can't know. What is known however is that their culture is heavily inspired by Japanese/asiatic culture.
@@TheOllecool My current belief is that it was a combined force of Tsaesci and men. I think that it's highly unlikely the serpents "devoured" all men because we have so little information on the snakes. The info we do have implies they enslave others, so I bet the men of Akavir exist still as a slave race.
Luke Price They’ve been compared to vampires, maybe the infected the men, making them serpentine, or bred with them, making them reptilian men, distinct from the pure-blooded serpentine Tsaeci. I like the second one most of all, as it would explain the confusion, given that they are either more snake-like or human-like, but all reptilian.
We see them in Oblivion and they are humans (they alos are using shields). Maybe the hole Snake thing is just propaganda or they have a second snake form like wercreatures.
Given how long the potentate lived for, he definitely wasn't human.
Was looking forward to this video!
Could we have a lore video on the Sinistrel Elves?
Everyone's gang until serpent people say "you look tasty"
Cancer
I had a wondrous week... And to top it all off Fudge Muppet is on a streak... The gods must smile upon me!
I just found out about fudgemuppet a month ago and I LOVE THIS CHANNEL best builds and EPIC LORE
Thank you guys for all the Amazing ES lore!!!
Man I want The Elder Scrolls: Akavir a billion times more than something like Hammerfell which sadly is what it looks like we’re going to get :/.
Dude imagine tho
An elder scrolls game where the main conflict comes from a new akaviri invasion, with the feature to travel to akavir and learn of its politics... That would be amazing
Daily dose of fudgemuppet. Thanks guys
I just really hope Akavir is where ES6 takes place. I've wanted to explore it since Oblivion, it seems like it would be so much different from the other elder scrolls games just based on the races alone.
es6 is gonna be in hammerfell but maybe we'll get akavir someday
@@kai8853doubt it'll be in hammerfell since that's where Daggerfall takes place
I did a build with the Akaviri set and as a Khajiit. I loved every moment of it.
I think the ultimate power move Todd and Co. Could do is give us a TES 6 trailer thst transitions every race on Tameriel into their equvilant on Akavir and give us a game there.
None of the 10 Tameriel races are playable, but the 9 in Akavir are.
The goal? Find the Nevararine
No
Lol
*Immediatly drops what I'm doing* ☺️😊
Fudgemuppet please do another skyrim build, I love them so much! Keep it up tho 😀
13:22 "And the times when living gods could rescue Tamriel from defeat are long gone"
Dragonborne: "Am I joke to you?"
Lyg, Akavir, and Atmora are places that would be cool to visit.

Gotta binge some skyrim and some of fudgemuppet’s velvety voice.
*checks phone* oh this morning blunt and coffee is going to be lit. thank you Fudgemuppet!
Great vid Drew
Hey FudgeMuppet I love your videos and I have been subscribed to you for quite some time now. Back when you only had 20k, You should do some more Skyrim Special Edition Builds. It has been a while and I know you may get this comment a lot but your builds really inspire me to play Skyrim different ways. Just do what you wanna do just feel like it would be pretty cool. I hope you have a nice night and continue your videos cuz I love them all ~Rex
I hope we get to go there someday. The whole continent sounds so interesting.
Great video, bruv!
Everyday a movie! Geez, how can you guys do it! xD
Well akaviri invasion for elder scrolls 6 wouldn't that be nice possibly even go over to a spot in akavir with a dlc
Those sassy snake men. I love reading the subtitles for videos like these.
Would love to see or learn more about akavir in the next Elder scrolls game or maybe in the next ESO expansion
Tosh Raka is Uriel Septim and they "became dragons" because he learned the Thuum then taught it to others
A dragonborn emperor, blessed by Akatosh - Tosh Aka?
Also, Martin literally became a dragon, so that's possible too to an extent
People describe the tcisei differently so im thinking what if its sort of like the kahjit depending on when they are born is what they look like
Amazing theory
I’ve never looked at the beyond Skyrim Bruma mod but seeing cloud ruler temple like that breaks my god damn heart
Just started a new play-through of Skyrim and I usually play from 12am to 6am just because of how immersed I am into the game. I haven’t played Skyrim since the Xbox 360 days and I finally decided to buy Skyrim Special Edition and decided to get some mods to improve the game and I’m loving it all. So many memories. I’ve played through 100% a total of 11 times. These videos give me a quiet relaxing break and I just chill. I loving Nerding out cause I usually don’t act like one in reality. Can’t wait for TES6🔥
Probably the best Skyrim CZcamsrs ever
It'd be sweet if they started a separate series in akavari along side finishing tamriel or even make an eso mmo set thier
Akavir: Where the Nerevarine went and never returned from...
Is it worth being a Sload?
FUmarc Fuck no
If you want to be a fat and 10 feet tall snail , that can only move, due teleportation magic, because of its anatomy. I mean they are freaking powerful in magic, especially necromancy, but disgusting too.
Fought one and I can say he's OP but ugly as heck.
the only race that has internet of course it is worth it
@G4 fly What about the Lilmothiit or the Snow Elves? Pretty sure they have wifi.
Can’t wait to play an Elder Scrolls Akavir
Can we get a pseudo-Tsaeci build? Using argonian as the race of course
The video we needed
tsaeci pledged allegiance to reman for being dragon born which makes me wonder more about the history of the dragon born blessing as well as the tsaeci and dragons interactions
I hope there's an akavir dlc in TES 6 and that we could maybe see the worm or learn more about Akavir
I was lost in the lore...great video
the continent of Akavir is more like the East Asian counterpart of our world from what I see.
Tang-mo would probably be South East Asia, Kamal are Mongolians or Siberians, Ka Po' Tun is certainly Chinese while Tsaesci would be the Japanese especially since they were the one's who brought the Katana's and eastern style temples to Tamriel.
would be interesting if ES6 assuming it's going to be set on the 5th era that they'd expand on this.
Yep, i agree, most of the races from elder scrolls are based of the cultures from the real world. I don't believe it will take place in the 5th era, only with Skyrim they did a huge timejump. Most of the games played only a few years apart, like Morrowind, Arena, Daggerfall and Oblivion. I guess TES 6 will play a few years later after Skyrim, because they were setting way to much up with the Thalmor, etc. It would be a waste to just jump right into the 5th era without reason, there is still a lot they can continue with.
@@eatsthedarkness8059 yeah would be a shame if they'd just skip the thalmor conflict by doing time jumps, my guess is that it would probably take place at the end of the 4th era and if possible close to the timeline of the 2nd great war if it ever happens, especially since ES6 is more likely to take place at High Rock where the Dirreni tower presumably the last active tower in tamriel still stands. though not really sure, maybe I'll just wait for ES6 but looking at Bethesda's current track record... ehh dunno, but Beth might be back on it's feet if they release ES6 or Starfield
@@yanagida_01 From the information we have right now, it's most likely Hammerfell and due to the Thalmor conflict being still active, according to Kematu, we will probably have a timejump of less than 10 years. Why would the thalmor conflict erupt, at the end of a whole era, that would be way too much time wasted and too much work for Bethesda to filll this gap with lore.
the akavir did not bow to him because of the power of his thuum they bow to because he yelled free sweetrolls
One small bit of information is known that was excluded is that the Nerevarine made way for Akavir, though whether they even made landfall is a mystery. However, the Nerevarine is hardier than most, and regardless of age could still be alive due to their very nature. Such a prominent figure in history would most surely return in some capacity should Akavir invade in a future game, even if only in a book or something of the sort.
I hope we get to go there one day!
A lot of this information can be read in the book mysterious akavir in Skyrim if you want a simplified version
Another Awesome lore vid nice one Drew, but funny thing happened while playing this one on my phone @32 sec into the vid stupid Siri logged to the Internet to find a store? idk I restarted the vid 4xs each time the same thing funny though lol :-)
A cool idea would be like in the next couple games the Akavir invade and the main storyline is fighting them off and saving Tamriel
When they make akavir, I'll buy eso online
I don't think Elder Scrolls Online online is a thing, my dude.
Yeah after they completed all of Tamriel and all the planes of oblivion. Guess we have to wait a bit.
BOOM!
I doubt they'll make akavir. There are no maps of Akavir either so they're already stuck.
I hope the elder scrolls 6 includes something about akavir or maybe a DLC
I think Tiber Septim may could have conquered Akaviri with the god weapon Numidium
I would love to play an elder scrolls game set in black marsh with the main plot centered around an akaviri invasion.
that was meant to be the plot of skyrim where uriel septum comes back with his dragons to fuck shit up
Tiger dragon gon be the next alduin in ES6 💯
We won't go to Akavir...
but...
Akavir will come to us.
Took you long enough. You should also do what would a game in Akavir would be/should be like.
Loved it
You guys should do a video on Frandar Hunding! (If you don't already)
Best lore in any video game ever.
Imagine Akavir as part Elder Scrolls 6 expansion
