    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.

Even if you do support the Empire, you know that the rebellion is considered advantageous for the Dominion and they would keep to keep the Empire tied down in the north, just as Tullius says.

    It's sad to see the Empire in such a state of chaos. An Empire that once ruled all of Tamriel, now could barely hold its own against an army that would have otherwise been vanquished already. Empire allowed Summerset Isle, Valenwood, Elsweyr, Black Marsh, Morrowind and Hammerfell to secede from the empire but then when Skyrim is ready to jump ship, all of a sudden the Empire wants to put their foot down. Too little too late. If this is to be the end of men, better to die standing and free than on your knees anc begging.

    Could you guys at Fudgemuppet give an explanation for what actually determines when an era starts and ends? Like, what puts Valenwood being united (start of this 1st era) at the same level of significance as Talos of Atmora conquering and uniting all of Tamriel using the Numidium, one if the seven towers holding Mundas together (start of the 3rd era) or the Oblivion crisis (start of the 4th era)? Why is the Planemeld *not* enough to start a new era after?

      Eras start when some powerful ruler says they do.

    There is no proof that the argonians conquered any of Morrowind, it is stated that is unclear if the invasion was an attempt at expansion or revenge, House Redoran also pushed them back at Mournhold. House Dres is also still a Great House alongside House Telvanni so they must have most of their holdings which are in Sothern Morrowind. Telvanni territory is in the North-East of Morrowind past Mournhold so most of House Telvanni was not seriously affected, the only evidence of House Telvanni being affected comes from a Dunmer in his basement in a building probably in Southern Morrowind, the Dunmer also said it was the end of House Telvanni which as we can see in a Skyrim was definitely not the case.

And as little as the victory for the Imperial seamed, it was the true turning point of the war since most of the Dominions forces were there as well as the Daedric artifact that led them to almost winning the war against the Empire. This proved that it was beneficial to retake the Imperial city as otherwise the Empire would have lost the war, besides the fact that if they didn’t, the Dominion would have opened a Oblivion gate inside the Imperial tower

Plus the worship of Talos is outlawed and causes the Stormcloak rebellion to happen, which will then in turn cause the Altmeri Doninion to invade Skyrim. Also Alduin nearly destroyed the world.

And finally, of course the hole Dragon crisis thing, I want to know if it only occured in Skyrim, in game we didn’t really feel how it affected the province of Skyrim, only helgen destroyed for example...

      you must show respect to Medius Empire even if you don't like if wasn't for that emperor the empire was going to destroyed and all forget that when Titus sign the treaty is for save and the others races, who knows how many soldiers have the aldmeri dominions is better that ashools from imperials and for sure for the stormcloacks that guys was with the empire and they know how to fight now they was farmers and galmar say that too, the Dominions live longer then humans so that's why are better and the Nord's hate magic how the hell they fight them without magic and imperials know magic and they have dunmers and some high elves and Bretons who can beat them soon the aldemeri dominions will pay for what they done you see imperials troops in simmerset isles win and the dominions hung in the white cold tower like his leader Narfii

    It would be awesome to hear about the merethic and dawn era's even without concrete dates it's still tamerielic history.

    Favorite series so far, mean as if you use it as background noise, soak up the lore. Would be super mean to see a dawn and or merethic era vid.
