Dragon Priests EXPLAINED! - Leaders of the Dragon Cult - Elder Scrolls Lore 

"Smok'n"

@@awesomeatronik oooh, Otar uses shock, and that can leave you ssssmokin’

They called him Cuban Pete.

@@isexuallyidentifyasukraini5407 He's the king of the rumba beat

Absoloute power corrupts absolutely... so I should be trusted with ALL the Dragon priest masks as power is clearly safer with me than him XD

Jay K. lol I thought the dragons kept saying krosis because I was wearing the mask that’s when I found out my mask meant sorry

Niiiice.

I thought I read somewhere that Krosis also means unknown or lost. Which would make more sense of why throw voice is nearby-its an unknown source/direction of sound. It had something to do with a phrase said by draugr that could be seen as "Im sorry im gonna kill you" or possibly "I will make you unknown/forgotten"...I might be completely mistaken however; The mask makes much more sense when seen this way; the wearer becomes unknowable and forgotten. Like an ancient form of the Gray Fox within the Dragon Cult. This "Unknown" priest had no great tomb. No draugr followers. Absolutely zero books, scrolls, or walls filled with murals before his lair. He sits alone atop a mountain. Unknown. ...aaaand now Im super curious what the throw voice word wall says. Because that is technically the only record near his tomb proving this whole comment wrong. Still...its a brainstorm.

@@Ruhrich92 krossis means sorry and sorrow

@@Maniachook4099 😢

maybe someone should try to make a mod like that.

It would have been awesome to see labyrinthian when it was still populated and maybe being able to talk to the people who would one day be the draugr we slay daily.

Definitely an interesting idea would be curious to see if it gets put into practice

@@ghostwarrior3878 to be honest most of these will probably be used for eso just throue different methods. thats why i think they never did all of skyrim and only did one third of it. laberithian would make a great raid. the etheriam forge would be a great story location (espeshaly since the ending of it will be its distruction) and so on. skyrim had a lot more legendary locations of old then the other games and thay knew this.

Oh, you should've seen my first time finding it. It was totally random and I had no idea wtf was going on, cuz I'd decided to not focus on the story and instead focus on finding easter eggs that playthrough. I was SO confused when I put the mask on and everything warped to the past lol aaah original skyrim memories

there's a theory that Archmage Shalidor (who actually repurposed the ruins of Bromjuunar) created the wooden mask or at least studied it and figured out how to copy or modify its power, based on a rumor that Shalidor "Stole Glamoril, the secret of life from Akatosh himself" which in this case would make a hell lot of sense

Sick theory

Who is akotosh?

@@jonathonparson5299 The god of time and the main god of the 9 divines, represented by the imperial dragon

@@jonathonparson5299 alduin.

KingOfCrayfish I still don’t think so, I think the Last Dragonborn is Konarhiik, and the mask is a reward from the dragons to a priest strong enough to kill all of the others. You are the only one able.

@@baronofbahlingen9662 Unlikely as that mask has been there for thousands of years.

Exept we know that high kings during that time weren't dragon priests

The_Drop Bear the mask has been there for years WAITING for someone strong enough to wear it. Konahrik means Warlord. It is a title, not a name. What Baron of Bahlingen means is that you are Konahrik, Warlord, as you are the only one who has been able to earn the mask and the title.

Baron of Bahlingen It it possible that there was meant to be a dragon priest high king but no one was strong enough to wear the king’s mask... until now.

Cameran E. Every elder scrolls since Morrowind was a masterpiece of its time.

lOW qUALITY wONDERS Popularity doesnt mean anything. Morrowind was ahead of its time. It was the first mainstream viewing of the full capabilities of an open world RPG, with seemingly endless boundaries in character development and world interactions. I remember having classes that could run across the map in a minute. Could jump into the clouds, so high i couldnt see the ground, and levitate across the map even faster than that. I remember making elaborate pillow forts with the old stacking mechanic when you drop items, using every single pillow in the game. That game defined what would become the modern RPG, the one by which all future games should be measured against.

Steven Seagal idk about you but Daggerfall and Arena were great games when they first came out.

*sees Paarthurnax glitch and spin away into the air* Eh

The community around the game is great the games lore is incredible , but don’t call vanilla Skyrim a masterpiece .

wow thay actually makes sense

This is an amazing narrative and now my head Canon

You should write for skyrim mods.

I believe the same as you on this regard. I think Konahkrik mask was designed during the period Miraak turned against the dragon priests and dragons. More so likely I think the mask was formed after Alduin was banished( it might be before too. Im not sure if Alduin was around when Miraak turned against him, cause if he was then it would make sense that Alduin would of fought Miraak) We know even though it is not directly confirmed that the 3 Solstheim priests turned against the dragons too and served Miraak( their masks is shaped after Miraak's ) so I assume Vahlok was the leader( as well as the priest serving Alduin) of the priests and he was chosen to wear the mask as he was strongest of the priests. So when he defeated Miraak he was appointed ruler of Solstheim and probably maintained leadership of dragon cult. Nahkrin probably took over his servitude to Alduin as we know and it is confirmed Nahkrin is the priest serving Alduin. So if Vahlok wasn't the leader of the cult and Nahkrin was back then, then I probably assume they chose on power( even though I would think leadership is associated with the strongest). Some say Miraak was the leader of the cult before he turned which made Vahlok leader. But to come to my conclusion I agree with you on the mask and I believe the mask of Konahkrik was a mask made in that krisis time and the title was given to the strongest priest to lead the cult and defeat Miraak. It would make sense cuz Miraak had the other 3 priests in Solstheim to fight with him which probably made the creation of the mask( cause if those 3 didn't support Miraak then how is he stronger than 11 dragon priests?)

Matthew Morrow IT’S YOU! FUDGE MUPPET

When ES 6 arrives this channel will 💥💥EXPLODE💥💥 :)

U'd have to wear a dragon preist mask with master neloth robes or mirraak's robes

there is a mod called konahrik accountrements. You can loot dragon priest ashes and their cursed clothing. You then can create scrolls of abjuration at a tanning station. You can then cleanse the clothing by putting one piece on the ground and firing the scroll at i then you get to wear it

@@vorkaath1402 they all look pretty damn cool but it lacks the full appearance or most dragon priest robes and armor

@@vorkaath1402 Bro thank you so much, that's going right into my load order

Ya this game has so much secrets in its worlds

Despite hundreds, if not thousands of hours in Skyrim... Haven't done it yet. I'll have to think of a roleplay where it's suitable!

@@loosetube5417 My reason for my most reccent character was them finding the wooden mask after defeating alduin. She was craving another goal to pursue after conquering the world eater, and the mystery of this mask and the place it sent her to was exactly what she needed

@@loosetube5417 If you’re on PC get the Konahrik’s Accoutrements mod. I’m not sure if it’s available on consoles. It adds a dungeon with a dragon forge, used to craft dragon priest armour, along with Konahrik’s robes, boots and gloves, once you’ve unlocked the mask. With the mod, each dragon priest drops their robes upon death, which must be purified by lifting their curses with scrolls of abjuration, before you can wear them. Each set is enchanted with unique effects like the corresponding mask and are well designed. In term of RP reasons to get the masks, I like a power and knowledge hungry Hermaeus Mora worshiping mage/scholar, out to collect the greatest artefacts to bend the world around them. Using Merunes Razor or the Skeleton Key to become Dragonborn much like Mankar Camoran did in Oblivion. I’d recommend the Wintersun Faiths mod for such a build.

I remember thinking it was cool finding another mask after doing the College of Winterhold Questline and it drove me to keep on trucking

Call me basic idc

Not basic bro I used to be so obsessed with them after I finished the college story line

i wish i could become one and serve the dragons

Definitely they’re so intriguing

Upsilon yeah I do too

I have a theory, Konahrik means warlord in dovahzol and a dragon’s philosophy is might makes right. I think the idea was whoever killed all of the other dragon priests and took the masks would have been names Konahrik and thus the high dragon priest.

@@loganwoods1590 That sounds good, my theory is that someone dawns the mask when the dragons need a general to lead an army. or maybe it was made for the dragonborn.

Why? The player character is Konahrik

@@bat32391 The player could be Konahrik

Illuminati

and also a total of 9 Towers that protected Mundus, "protected" because some were deactivated

ThatWhiteGuy The ‘knights of the nine’ expansion for Oblivion does a good job of proving that Talos is actually a god in TES. Then again, if he truly was a god then he’s a pretty fucking pathetic one since his empire got demolished by some trumped-up goldust cosplayers and a few overgrown street cats.

@@Obozo_Gaming let the humans have their man-god *in his proper place, separate from the true Aedra.* The Elder Race has had no fewer than *seven* of their own lifted to godhood before him.

@@badgerbane You don't know what you are talking about.

Wonder if he turned to priesthood after taking an arrow in knee?

@@SonGara I know this is a joke,but priests usually can't marry. So most likely not

just kidding...unless?

Gonna kiss every last dragon priest no matter what. It's my duty as the dovahkin.

Giggity heheh...Meow

Only if I get to cosplay as a Draugr Deathlord

Same

I think that he was a sea merchant. The prices and carry weight for the selling and carrying of good and the waterbreating for safety on the waters

@@Kng-hv2qb still a strange thought how he became a dragon priest from that

@@soloshermitshack4955 the dragonborn was a person trying to cross the border. A powerful merchant is much more a start than that

@@Kng-hv2qb you know what? That's valid. Weirder things could happen in this game 😂😂

@@Kng-hv2qb Well to be fair, the Dragonborn was a Prisoner, and in the Elder Scrolls that's kinda metaphysically important.

Get the undeath mod and immersive litchdom mod. You too can become a dragon priest like litch.

@@shadowstrider5033 I'm on PS4, that's just a dream for us

Kind of like the Dragonborn DLC

@DEACON STRUKT Mostly in another dimension. Would have liked the foreshadowing and after killing all the Dragon Priests playing a bigger role at the end of the main game. Still optional, but making a difference. Ya know?

There's a mod that does exactly that: It's called "The New Dragon Cult", and adds neo-dragon cultists to most of the dragon burial mounds throughout Skyrim. It's not much; no quests, or unique dialogue or anything, but it's one of those things that adds some genuine weight to the Dragon Crisis beyond a few random dragon attacks.

“But he didn’t worship the dragons... He devoured them”

Its honestly one of the best side quests to place on your self, by the time my character had collected all the masks he was level 30 something. Its a great journey.

Yeah, in some dungeons I got completely destroyed and needed to return later. :D

I now make a Mask hunter every time I play a new character. It's very fun

@@andrewfornes5458 there is one mask that can be worn under a helmet thus granting huge AC bonus :)

@@gwarscout1825 ac?

Pain in the everloving backsides, that's what they are.

Krosis is the best. Always fun watching your body rag doll off the mountain after getting hit by his Hiroshima staff.

@@MorrowMatty yeah

I agree, but they were fun battles, and I always felt a sense of completion when I killed them all

I wanted to loot their armor...

I can usually snipe them while sneaking and kill them in 1 shot. It's a bit too easy

@@an2n901 there is a mod for that

Theres a mod to make them stronger and have new one unique ability, staff, textures for each one of them and new spells, I forgot its name though, it was dragon priest enhanced or something along that line.

Because you break your way into his tomb, killing his guards and stealing his stuff. Plus he's just woke up and is grumpy

Because he was not in full control of himself he was still a lich and thus was just a mindless lich or that's what I think not sure if right

The court wizards serve many purposes, 1st is to advice the Jarl on matters of a magical nature, 2nd is to scry the area for magical anomalies & 3rd is to make the peepee & poopoo of the citizens of their respective holds vanish. That's why non-citizens like bandits have to use buckets.

@@LordOctopussy oh jk rowlings

they use buckets for shit and just pee in a bush outside.

Everyone in Skyrim just shits themselves.

I use the three seashells.

Youve got a point.

So what if konariik mammoth??

GP Technologies Mangalore Might also be appropriate. As the alleged mightiest Dragon Priest, would make sense that his mask resemble the mightiest beast in Skyrim

Old comment but artifacts kinda move a lot Daedric artifacts usually stay in oblivion until daedric prince's send them down when it's needed

Oo, Kitisan wishes she could have joined them.

🤣🤣🤣

With wabbajack you can turn them all into sweet rolls

They worshiped all the dragons, who where ruled with a iron dust by alduin. They did not fight amongst themselves

@@the_dropbear4392 I agree...war was not the right word I mean more...contest or sport. the dragons demanded powerful followers and dragons are creatures of pride so less actual war and more battles for pride and skill. example being dragon A and B think there select pet priest is better they could perhaps have some tradition for this...which would explain what if any merit was used when appointing a priest. but again as for outright dissent among the dragon ranks? perhaps after the world eater was sent into the time void...but before? no way. :3

Right? I can't see all of those personalities getting along xD Just like any other big group of nobles xD

Were nine rings given to the race of men?

Its German and Scandinavian I already knew that though

They say Jarl all the time... I'd think someone as learned as Scott would understand that

No lmao krosis means sorry in the dragon tongue

Either a pirate or sea merchant.

We don't know

Guess we’ll find out in ESVI.
