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.

You forgot to mention that in 3E 433, the Hero of Kvatch violated the law and refused to pay the court a fine.
Did he serve his sentence or paid with his blood?
cogtroper This one has been highly debated upon, but the lore says he paid with his blood.
Akatosh Slayer huh, may a dovah Fus Ro Da you back to oblivion Dagon
@@imperialguard1546 Dagon WOULD listen to Slayer.
@@imperialguard1546 damn faithless imperial
Falling off a horse is a pretty common way for Septims to die.
Guess they all can't ride their horse up a 90 degree angle like our favorite Dragonborn.
Dragonborn superiority confirmed. Let the next empire last a thousand years, with our immortal Last Dragonborn at its helm!
They outlaw Levitation magic and then fall and die from horses.
Fun Fact! In real life when anthropologists find a person with broken bones that they can't tell how died, they simply say "it fell of a horse" It became a meme in the academic community.
"Falling off horse" has a double meaning
@@kyesickhead7008 I am skeptical but don't know enough to tell if wrong or correct so who knows
I can't chill without these videos. Now I play Skyrim like an intellectual.
(Intelegently clicks dialogue options that imply you have no knowledge of the lore because you have no other choice, but it’s okay you can pretend you know your just making sure THEY know to)
@@pisscvre69 amen
Peasant.
Just Skyrim? Not any other Elder Scrolls game? Just Skyrim? Why?
@@pancake_the_pancake maybe she just likes Skyrim or maybe it’s the only game of the series she has, she doesn’t really need a reason to play just skyrim
Yeesh, the Septims have more drama than the Skywalkers
I find your lack of Fus disturbing...
@@JB-xl2jc Dah
Still can't beat the drama with the Wrynns.
Impossible
@@JB-xl2jc lol
Now did Martin actually get crowned emperor right before Dagon attacked? If so he’s gotta have like the shortest reign in the history of Tamriel, about 10 minutes. Also like the most successful emperor ever, he saved the entire continent from a deadric prince in about 10 minutes.
Definitely the most efficient reign.
A lot happened in 10 minutes makes me feel a lot better
Coronation + Daedra prince slayer Speedun
One second is enough to change the world
@@uneterostardust8233 😂😂
The third era contrasts the fourth so much. From a bastard son of an emperor sacrificing himself to save the world to an emperor, who supposedly wields goldbrand, that doesn’t even fight back when an assassin comes for him. The great houses of morrowind being so obscenely powerful and wealthy that they can disobey the empire’s laws without repercussion to house Hlaalu members living in slums with the other houses on the brink of collapse. The dark brotherhood being feared by the common populace to it crumbling into nothing more than a bandit gang led by someone who doesn’t even follow the five tenants. And the mages guild being disbanded to create the synod council which just hordes artifacts.
yeah, its not even him who wields the goldbrand rigth ?
@pioz44 from what I remember they were disbanded shortly after the oblivion crisis due to distrust from civilians over their role in the daedric invasions
In the Dragonborn book it says that when everything goes to shit the last Dragonborn will appear and fix the shit.
I think the Dragonborn will become the next emperor there's some hints to it in the game.
@@60sspider-man29 How would the writing team even handle that? The Dragonborn is INCREDIBLY flexible about who they are and where they are from. I guess a dragonbreak could justify it.
Knowledge ebbs and flows and the tides of time in this human story of a videogame shows alot. Before the mages guild was even banded and created, it was illegal to learn magic and in many places illegal to even learn how to read and write. Maybe Tamriel will be going into another era of wide spread Men and Mer slavery just like it did back in the earlier Era of widespread Ayelid rule where everyone including elves were kept as slaves for one single empire that spread the entire continent of Nirn. Now it will be the elves how rule, if the terrible Thalmor succeed in gaining power. But Talos alone can not save everyone from the High Elves, because they just want to make their own empire the same way Men made their own under Talos. It's more of the same, sort of.

Wait hold up.... so septims decedents are still in high rock?!
I wonder if that will be significant in another game. Or maybe a story.
Fanfic writers, to your keyboards!
@@Volcanoran3 there is a theory that Karliah is a septim because her mother is either a daughter of the nightingale or tiber septim
@@wolves600 that's a pretty interesting theory. I guess it would make sense if she knew and didn't say because she is a dunmer and well the nords aren't the most friendly to other races especially if she is from the bloodline of Nord legends
@@anattackhelicopter2680 didn’t the septims become imperials after a while anyways?

It's weird being an American that watches your videos, it's 5 am over here. No one is supposed to upload. Here you are.

My number one channel to go to for ES lore
It really shouldn't be.
Imperial Knowledge and Lady of Elder Scrolls are far more accurate. The latter even posting sources for the claims in the vids.
Fudgemuppet has a history of butchering lore amongst the lore community.
The Forgotten Hero but they don’t have annoying voices so here I am
@@CarlShull Why go to the channel with annoying voices?
bryn bello If you’re new to the Tes franchise USEP is a solid source for understanding the games individuality but to understand the Lore as a whole use the imperial library or r/teslore if you only played Skyrim or Oblivion stick with I recommend ShottyCast for beginners. If you played more then two games I would watch Zaric Zhakaron lore series. If you really want to understand all the lore and I mean all play all the games and read all the books:
@@bignwah6905 r/teslore is trash for TES lore. Way too much opinionated fanfiction in there.
I ended up looking for The Elder Scrolls 4 opening done by Sir Patrick Stewart and it still brings an awe-inspiring tear to my eye listening to him in one of my favorite game series.
And Sean Bean as Martin Septim! Although Oblivion is my least favorite TES game (though I still love it) I can’t deny that it has great voice actors
"One does not just light the fires to thwart Oblivion, you must extinguish the threat!"

‘‘Nazeem’s power explained’’ should be your next video.
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don’t.
Nazeem I'm going to soul trap you then enchant my sword with your power then sell your farm
@@supernova582 But his soul is not grand
Ok I will become a werewolf and eat his heart then sell his farm! ha ha ha! Unless you have some better ideas this is nazeem so no mercy!
supernova582 yes , paralyze him.
Then use telekinesis to carry him up a mountain , and chuck him off to watch his stiff body flip down the mountain.
Only for the paralysis to wear off and all the damage hits him at once and he dies.
Then sell his farm.
By cloud district you mean this nice plant then YEAH MAN
Before the video, an advertisement for ESO: Elseweyr played, and I got so scared it was the Elder Scrolls 6 trailer 😂
No it's just another example of Bethesda disregarding ES lore by saying "Oh yeah the dragons are in Elsweyr for soms reason."
@@rylonharmon542 dragons were around through all of tamriel history not just skyrim you s'wit.
@@loganglessner4892 No they were not, that is a big mistake. The only places they were confirmed to control was Atmora, Skyrim, Akivir, and some of Morrowind. Oh, and they only ruled the land until the end of the Merethic era. They were never seen in the second era.
@@rylonharmon542 how do explain tiber septim have a meeting with some of the surviving dragons in the late second era? And it was confirmed that hammerfell and high rock had dragons during the events of skyrim too. If paarthurnax survived why couldnt more?
@@loganglessner4892 OK, but Talos isn't confirmed to have seen a dragon, and regardless the whole Elsweyr plot is the fact that dragons (plural) have returned. The dragons are never supposed to return until Skyrim takes place. End of story that is the plot of ES relating to dragons.
Wait, does this means that Uriel's three legitimate children were in their 50s when they were killed by Mythic Dawn? They never got married and had kids of their own?
They probably killed his grandchildren too.
Uriel was such a good man he could understand me unlike everybody else.
Know this is an older comment but I always assumed the Dawn killed Uriel's three sons and their whole families, so spouses, children, and possible great-grandchildren of Uriel VII. Ironically, if Martin hadn't been a priest then there could have been some spare heirs of the spare heir, so unless Martin's old Sanguine party days resulted in an ultra ultra hidden child then the only possible relations of the Septims left would probably be in High Rock, northern Hammerfell, or some very distant Nordic families.
@@Priceluked or the ldb 🤨
@@bleachmaster1545 The last dragonborn is unlikely to be related to the Septims at all. Especially at the moment when the race of the Dragonborn isn't confirmed and probably won't be confirmed.
One of the best videos ever the way you guys tell the stories about TES and it's lore is amazing keep up
The crazy thing about this is that with all these times that the crown changes hands they all are able to light the dragon fires even if they aren't blood related to the Septim dynasty. Which means that they were all either already dragonborn or granted dragon blood by Akatosh. It makes me wonder if they had set up a line of succession beyond the royal family would Akatosh have accepted it and allowed the lighting of the dragon fires, averting the oblivion crisis?
I was thinking that too... the oblivion crisis makes no sense looking back. The emperor dies for two seconds and the oblivion gates open up everywhere, but emperors have died without heirs all the time before. That and... I really have to investigate St. Alessia's bloodline because it doesn't sound like it went very far

When you know Elder Scrolls history better than real history. 🤓
I've noticed that throughout the Elder Scrolls franchise, the dominating factions tend to be knocked down a peg every now and then, usually by some otherworldly influence, until the new faction begins dominating, and gets knocked down like their predecessor, almost as if the Aurbis is trying to maintain a balance of power.
When men first came to Tamriel, the entire continent was ruled by mer (and dragons, I guess) and then through various events of supposed divine interference, they rose up and took most of Tamriel after having been dominated. For a while, I've thought that the recent downfall of the Empire following the Oblivion Crisis is the gods letting the elves take the reigns again for a while, in order to lecture men on their centuries of warmongering and petty infighting.
1yrclater and preety good theory
The elves are just as warring and petty my guy.
@@DanimoroZ ahah, no
If not more so @@DanimoroZ
mehrunes dagon specifically likes ruining people who are too powerful, even when theyre good:
Bethesda should be writing you a check for these videos. You help keep the magic alive.
Oblivion was such a great time. Excited for Skyblivion.
11:26 Imagine being the emperor to the most powerful nation and dying from a fall off your horse...
19:44 imagine that happening twice 😂
If you want to get really wasted, play a drinking game where every time Scott says "yeeeeeea" (year), you take a shot.
Me before watching this: Man I love the Elder Scrolls, all the Medieval without anything messed up like inbreed- *14 year girl marries 62 year old man*
:O
that ain't inbreeding tho, only the habsburgs and smaller families did inbreeding
@@viveka2994 I mean technically we all do
@@ciaranmck4469 true but only because we were less than 1000 people 70000 years ago, which is why we are one of the most less genetically diverse species
Wait until you learn about Divayth Fyr
Thank you kind sir!!!
@Fudgemuppet: Awesome video Scott. Also, seeing that Avatar of Akatosh scene is always so epic to me
Damn, those Septims and their falling from horses!
Thank you so much for the videos, the lore of the Elder Scrolls is by the far the most interesting setting!
I used a cheat follower spell from cheat room mod, made nazeem follow me to boethia shrine to sacrifice.
Noice gonna get some popcorn and get fully immersed
This research is amazing. You're incredible man.
Oh wow wasnt expecting this at this time, was literally doing a last ditch no hope look for a video before bed.
Love coming back to the old fudgemuppet videos. Ive recently been playing Snowrunner and ill put a fudgemuppet, camelworks, or drewmora playlist on get to work trucking for hours and hours
Potema was badass. That is one thing I will not deny about her.
She's sexy
Honestly the dwemer are my favorite part of skyrim and I hope elder scrolls six will give us more data about them and maybe more assumptions of what happened after they struck the heart
Should be an explanation for no Falmer in the dwemer ruins in Morrowind
@@viveka2994 the reason is that the falmer are transformed snow elves and the snow elves were only found in Skyrim
@@moeless65 I know but I mean wouldn't they transfer them? Kinda like slave trade irl
@@viveka2994 the dwemer clans fought a lot an example is the Athereum wars , and they probably didn’t use the snow elves as slaves because they were pretty useless when blind,and if they needed slaves they could use the automatons, so the snow elves were likely used to test the effect of tones on elves
I'm from the future.
No ES6 yet. But we did get another version of 5! Rejoice!
Has Tamriel invented windows yet? I may be wrong but I swear in every single game I have never seen a glass window...
Oblivion churches had stained glass glass windows
Never played morrowind?
There are windows.... Just can't see through them...
@@pancake_the_pancake then is that truly a window? What is glass that isn’t reflective or see through ?
Wow, awesome. Brilliantly put together synopsys of a great part of Elder Scrolls history. More intriguing and entertaining than my entire schooling of European monarch history. Thanks for putting this together. This depth of lore makes the Elder Scrolls a great franchise and one that will last for many more generations.
Hearing these videos as I relax late in the eve, or while playing my modded Skyrim SE, makes me want to dive in all of the Elder Scrolls lore. Just imagining how great my notes and homework would have been if Elder Scrolls history was being taught in high school by fudgemuppets. LOL, I would have known my career choice by the first couple of classes.
Some of your best content.
i am going to opt for honours in elder scrolls from fudgemuppet university. Now i even see the walls of ruined structures in skyrim with a sense of history. It gives me a feeling of being high elf.
I would love a game set on the continent of the Sea Elves.
Definitely those were the best Era's in the Elder Scrolls universe, Morrowind and Oblivion are top tier experiences
Bruh its 2:03 AM and im watching this... ight
Bruh it's 4:16 am and I'm watching this 🤘
You guys are the best at any lore type of video. Love all the information and find it fascinating! Keep up the amazing and wonderful work guys!!
Thanks for releasing a video on my birthday :)
I can see myself binge watching your entire collection of lore videos just before the next Elder Scrolls comes out :)
Good thing you have years to do so🙂
fudge you should do more explanation videos on the history of tamriel
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this one. Love the lore videos, guys. I put these on when I'm laying in bed, and they're like bedtime stories.
Love these videos, dude. You have wonderful writing, and your voice is nice to listen to.
No joke after like 700 hours or so of Skyrim, I have a hard time playing.
But I love listening to your channel so I can experience TES without playing as much as I used to.
Thank you FudgeMuppet (+your team if you have one)
Man I just can't wait till you get to this it's like getting to a movie cliffhanger....
I feel like no one is speaking about the 14 year old getting married to a 62 year old...
While that is strange. Looking back at our own history, (in the real world, all over)
In history, many countries would marry off their 13 and 14 year old daughters to old and/or elderly men in power.
One era of elder scrolls history has hurt my brain more than "The history of the entire world I guess"
Really love these deep dives into tamriel history that you guys do. You should write a book😁
I almost can't play Elder Scrolls games without these videos. They enrich the experience!
The Elder Scrolls timeline used to make sense, then I took an era in the knee.
Watching your videos made me play Skyrim again. For fun before I started back on Skyrim, I played through the whole series from Arena to Oblivion. TES has come a long way lol... although I DO think that the procedural generation in Daggerfall makes it one of the best and most unique RPGs out there (outdated graphics and controls notwithstanding). It's just so BIG. I literally could have been playing Daggerfall since it came out and still not run out of things to do... but anyway, I can't wait for your 4th Era video and I wonder if you guys have any more wacky awesome builds for us? I did a playthrough with your Necromancer build and I never thought that playing a mage could be so much fun. It gave me a chance to do all of the grotesque evil things that don't fit a lot of my playthroughs... my guy was eating corpses, murdering townsfolk, raising zombies and just generally being a scourge upon the land. What fun! I think my next playthrough will be an honorable warrior type. I'll have to peek through your builds to see what looks like fun... any suggestions?
Slightly off topic but I want to say that if ES6 is in hammerfell or high rock then they should make quests about Orsicinium where you either side with the humans to destroy orscinium or side with the Orcs to rebuild or defend it. They should make something like the Hearthfire or base building like fallout 4, and you get to rebuild Orscinium. It will be great fun to be able to rebuild an entire city yourself!!!
That's why I want it to be in high rock, so we can go to old orsinium
@@the_dropbear4392 why? It would just be abandoned and probably in ruins since the current Orsinium is in Hammerfell
@@redfallxenos4585 yes but the current one is just a small small strong hold. Where as this is the only place where we will be able to explore ancient orcish ruins. We will also have ancient alyied ruins, dirreni ruins and ancient medical ruins. Where as in hammerfell it's just dwemer and redguard
@@the_dropbear4392 Hammerfell also has Nede, Goblin, and Ayleid ruins.
@@dutchpatriot17
A few nedic ruins in the north, (caraglorn) as the medical people in southern hammerfell where migratory Tribes. And there are no alyied ruins
I love the lore videos but id really love some more builds with mods

I'm pretty sure it's worse for the Dunmer.
I've been playing elder scrolls games for years and your videos are actually neat asf my dude!
This is the best ES channel ever, and that voice, it’s like listening to vocal vanilla.

LMAO I completely forgot about this series! So glad you reminded me
I drop everything to sit down and watch your videos EVERY SINGLE time your videos are great guys love them keep them up 🤘❤🤘
Fudgemuppet is essentially the Archives of The Elder Scrolls
hmm anybody notice that in skyrim the ship of the emperor was called katariah was also connected in name to storylines potema wolf queens attempted resurection and pelagius the mad in sheogorath quest?
I never realized that Skyrim is the only game (so far) that didn't take place in the 3rd era. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention, but i thought Tiber Septim founded the empire a lot earlier than he did.
It's also crazy to me that there are dunmer alive who can remember the eruption of Vvardenfell while the nords right next door will have passed 6+ generations since that time
3:28, Aw, they're like Geralt and Yen.
Gangsta video bro, much love from Gold Coast Australiaa
Been looking forward to this one, sincere thanks for your diligent research and work. Great videos.
I just want the fourth era to come out soon! This one made me so anxious for the next one. Cannot wait
God I remember the Oblivion Crisis. I was there. Good times.
Love all of these videos guys, so great.
this just made me realize i’ll be forgotten in time
You have to be known to be forgotten
It's super satisfying when you get a like that makes it go up 3 digits
I love videos like this. I can play this while I'm playing something like Pokemon or Minecraft and just be vibin
Elder Scrolls 6 better be a HUUUUUGE map, like 5 times the size of Skyrim.
I want Elder Scrolls 6 to be so big and content filled that it is 100% impossible to play the entire game on one character, even 10 characters. Shite better be MYSTERIOUS and fantastical, the first glimpse of what a virtual reality life will look like.
The two of you are brilliant. Thanks gents.
Shoddycast planted the seed with their series years ago but damn it you guys really knock it out of the park
i have no life so i am watching this at 5:01 am

Oblivion on PC is the absolute best because of Spell creation, Enchanting, and Xivilai.
"only Vivec remains alive." Funny, that's not how I remember it...
I wonder if there are Elder Scrolls on Akavir?
You never know. For all we know, the Scrolls, the Aedra and Daedra have influenced events on Akavir and Pyandonea just as they have on Tamriel. No one ever said the gods' interests in the affairs of mortals stops at Tamriel's shores...
probably are, and might be scroll guilds who search for them
Fudge Muppet why did that vampire book have to be translated? Did you have a video on that first vampire?
Levon The Lights i would imagine it would be wrote in daedric like the mysterium Xarxes
Allen Spriggs Good point, since Molag Bal raped and created the first “pureblood” vampire. It’s possible the book was written in the Daedric language or some lost tongue.
Lmao I was just getting ready for bed , guess I can spare 30 minutes.
I have 2 go school in 20 minutes but I learn more from these videos
Thank god, no ads
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! THANK!
I don't nerd out much but can anyone tell me when is Elder scroll 6 is supposed to take place? Era land etc?
We have no clue but the most likely seems to be Hammerfell or High Rock. This channel has videos talking about them
I could just read all the Elder Scrolls role all day than my History books. No wonder its name Elder Scrolls wow.
