Skyrim: 5 Spooky Theories Crazy Enough to be True - The Elder Scrolls 5 Lore (Part 8) 

Nope sorry...nothing

he's secretly a daedric lord from the shivering isles, aiding in the creation of the great sweet roll pyramids. why do you think he knows of our location and is there to personally deliver us a message? he has god tier teleportation and clairvoyance.

I just subbed like 2 weeks ago haha been binge watching all of his small detail videos

He accepts payments in sweet rolls and simply decided to save everyone the hassle of an invoice. This is why you read the fine print

@@ElectromagNick read? HAH, this is skyrim, if its not said with a weapon or spell in hand, nobody cares. :P

Guess not

Hmm better cut down on the ale. Been seeing things! *AAAAARGH!*

That's actually naturally in game irrc

Andrew Drumwright it does show it for like a second and a half in the beginning.

Lol, yup

Humans weren't to nice themselves in the early days.

@@frozenlizard7738 You have no fucking right to say that. The Aylieds would cut open children and use their guts as artwork. Those Elves were fucking horrible, and NOTHING the humans have done comes CLOSE to being bad by comparison.

@@Alizudo Wasn't talking about the aylieds, was talking about the snow elves.

@@frozenlizard7738 The Snow Elves who also murdered a bunch of children and their families, and destroyed an entire city in one night for seemingly no reason at all?

@@Alizudo I feel like those don't always just reflect on the entire Snow Elves race and doesn't warrant absolute genocide towards them.

I like to headcanon she was trying to find out the "forbidden legend" Thing much like we are after hearing about it or something.

Adam Baker I agree 100%. It's a shame we never got anything else story-wise in regards to the Forsworn outside of two side quests.

the forsworns in general are a missed opportunity, they are mostly a bunch of crazy primitive bandits

@@Gensolink There's a long list of reasons to think that the producers basically just gave the devs a deadline and the game wasn't really finished when shipped.

iT JusT wOrKs!

I think it's good they were left to linger. If it was possible to resolve that centuries-old problem along with a civil war, killing an armageddon dragon, stopping vampires from blotting out the sun and preventing an ancient dragonborn from enslaving an Elvish island seems like you're able to literally solve any problem with just a couple of dungeon crawls. I think it's a good thing for a couple of issues to be left out of the Dragonborn's hands.

I like wulfgar mostly because his name is epik and cool

‘Speaks i mean, stupid autocorrect

Wait, you mean it wasn't? I always figured the friend was the head of the dudes that shouted at the start of the game.

Actually, it comes from the word wall that you're led to

Like my brother. Lol

That is epic.

You’re acting like it’s rare..

You don't have to have done the whole thing. I cometed like 3 or 4 west's and got this. It was really funny to hear though

Well. Skyrim constantly getting rebooted for the cashgrab doesn't make it better, but also stops it from getting old.

@@FifinatorKlon it's a catch 22

This didn't age well

My. Fucking. God.

Luke Ramsey So are you saying that Wulfgar the Greybeard is really Talos?

@@EchoKnightYT An aspect manifested. Not the whole oversoul of course. But it is likely Talos is keeping an eye on the Dragonborn.

Luke Ramsey I like this theory, because I find the implications interesting.

@@EchoKnightYT Also, if you're curious, in Morrowind he says ""The Emperor is getting old. Don't know how much longer he'll hang on. So is the whole Empire, for that matter. Getting old, that is. The Emperor and the legions have held the Empire together for hundreds of years. It's been a good thing, by and large. But maybe it's time for a change. Time for something young and new. What? No idea. Because I'm old. Old dog doesn't get new ideas. But maybe young folks like you should try some new ideas. I don't know. Could be messy. But change is never pretty.""

@Little Shmuplet The answer is that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.

@@Longshanks1690 also Jeffrey Eppstein didn't kill himself

Your points may be true but I think Jeffrey Epstien didn't kill himself...

The hebrew word for Skyrim is Hkde... spelled backwards is EDKH... which stands for... Epstein Didn't Kill Himself

Well when we look at the clues, it's pretty easy to see RU-vid doesn't care

Hmmm!!! Weird!! Some say He killed her but idk

@@chibichan9586 I think it was Willhelm in the Inn. He's paranoid about hagravens with the mace and book about killing hagravens under his bar. Probably thought her interest in alchemy (she went to gather ingredients and has a bunch of rare ones on her when you find the skeleton) meant she had ties to that sort of "evil" magic

Probably akatosh then

You:Looking in code to find the truth Todd Howard: lol you thought

sol1d gh0st you’re watching a video about a game where there are literally cat people, lizard people, and the main character is technically part dragon. You’re pretty slow, huh?

@@doubtful_seer We've all secretly been furries this whole time...

YoshiCookiesZDX oshit

Sam Wicks They also have no fear and stop you in a middle of a fight for giving you the message

If only they used their powers for good, then there wouldn't even be a need for the last Dragonborn

@@kaleidoscope19 maybe they r connected to akatosh and they r keeping the timeline in order

Only if my UPS man was like that instead I get it extremely late or never even get my mail

Omg I knew it! Seriously tho that guy is so annoying, you can’t even get rid of him!

This is what I aways assumed even if you do the main quest she wouldn't want people to see who is sending you these letters

You can still get letters from the friend, even if you tell Delphine to fuck off during the Paarthurnax dilema

1 I don't see why not 2 That's not accurate. If you ask argenier, he says the gods punished the nords for using shouts for war. They say the ability to shout is a gift from the gods that is only to be used for the worship of the gods. He also say the gift the dragonborn has is a gift from akatosh given directly to the player. And he asks who they would be to acknowledge one gift but deny the other. It is a separate gift with separate restrictions. The greybeards never intended to force the dragonborn into seclusion. This still leaves room for the individual greybeards to have additional nuance and one of the greybeards approving more than the others would explain why an alias was used. 3 Most of the locations that the player can be sent to are draugr tombs, not dragon roosts. 4 Delphine might keep tabs on where the dragonborn is. But delphine doesn't know how to determine when the dragonborn shouts or have any reason to record that. The speed of messages is almost certainly developer oversight. After all, the player can 'cause a stir' at their own home (outside of a city) or even in a daedric princes realm, which doesn't seem to be intended (and if it was, well there goes your delphine theory anyway as delphine doesn't have operatives in daedric realms). They simply set a trigger to send the note after the player had used a shout. Creating a system to delay the word usage and the message arrival would be additional work on their part.

I always assume it was the Fucking Esbern, because in all my playthrough, i only got it after i unlock Akaviri's Temple

Actually the greybeards want u to use ir thuum for other purposes. When u first meet them and u get tasked to find the horn u tell them u will try to use the thuum the way they do and they say no ur dragonborn u need to use it for other purposes

Similarly to the Polisario Front, who claims Western Sahara but the Headquarter is in Algeria

I don't know if I trust the NPCs timelines that much. I was just in the College of Winterhold and asked about the missing apprentices. He said 'yeah they were in the batch before you. they've been missing for...about a month.' it's been like 2 years in-game since I went back to the College of Winterhold since I have no interest in ancano's shit. Not to mention I'm going to have to fight him while he's naked. One day he just turned up nude except for a thalmor cloak and he's sticking with his new signature look.

I kind of imagine that not much time passes while you’re in Skyrim, yes there are days, weeks and months, but Skyrim is set in a specific year, 4E 201, so when you get to the last day of the year, 31st of Evening Star (December), you just go back to the 1st of Morning Star (January) still in 4E 201. So if that logic is true, anything that happened about a year ago must have happened in the year 4E 200. This is reflected in Wyndelius‘ journal, which starts on the 18th of Morning Star 4E 200.

The innkeeper mentioned something about a vampire looking for “food” around the time Reyna went missing 🤔

@@khaztheconfuser1466 bro partysnax is a much better name lmao

@@Xixion1123 that was probably from a mod. Normally the letter never changes, and who sent it has been the subject of furious debate since the release of skyrim. I think Nate even did a video on it.

@@khaztheconfuser1466 Well, how would Delphine even know all that stuff?

Well the Khajiit pantheon is also a mix of Daedra and Aedra, even though it has nothing to do with forsworns. So it isn't as farfetched of an idea.

@@pepeberlusconi1736 Correct. And Khajiiti cosmology makes no inherent distinction between the two, seeing most of them as liter mates, children of Ahnurr and Fadomai. Those that are regarded as evil or adversarial spirits are so for reasons other than "because Daedra."

@@HickoryDickory86 I know this is beyond late but eso does have a book that goes into forsworn gods and they are all daedra the main three that all clans worship are Hircine Peryite and Namira its actually quite an interesting religion and one of my favourites of any race.

@@placeholder2586 Late or not, I'm qlways happy to discuss Elder Scrolls lore. Thanks for that insight? Was there no mention of Dibella in the book? If not, I find that very odd and very much a missed opportunity on the developers'/writers' part.

@@HickoryDickory86 There wasn't any mention of dibella in fact the first book in the series kinda denounces the aedra outright but the books do go on to say that the clans do have different beliefs and ways of worship so it's possible the one clan we meet in the skyrim quest did worship her. If your interested the books are called: The great spirits of the reach. I believe there are three volumes but I could be forgetting one or 2. OK nevermind I checked there are 5 books not 3.

I have never been this early

@@lossnt557 fr

I've never been this late though...

@@mergen3125 hm me neither

Nate: What's up guys it's Nate here. Guys: (Uses an Uno reverse card) What's up Nate it's guys here That's brilliant

The stable master outside Markarth speaks a bit about the forsworn and their "old ways." He says some of the traditions should be left in the past, and specifically mentions daedra worship. That is why I, like you, assumed all forsworn were daedra worshipers, and the old gods were in fact the daedra.

Their enemies all say they are daedric worshippers, but as Nate states, that is not confirmed in game. Maybe, like many other peoples, they had no overarching cosmology and various clans worship their clan totems, which may or may not be Aedra or Daedra. Animal worship, or gods in the shapes of animals (as in ancient Egypt), is not unusual in totemic systems.

"Murdered to death" as opposed to..?

@@AB-gb6zz Well, a Vampire can murder you to undead...

@@AB-gb6zz Maybe he just borrowed the phrase from Nate, who says "murdered to death" a lot.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Golden Knight What a stupid question. Who'd doubt that, to begin with?

@@raelaash4759 Maybe by the time of Skyrim they've changed their name to "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z'nourrwringmm?"

You... you just might have a point there.

I don’t know... IT’s a bit of a stretch

Ni!

why would kitty cat god meddle in the affairs of us lowly mortals

@@CharoGaming why tho

Or ebony warrior

Its hermaus Mora in my opinion, he knows where you are when you do that shouting. He is a god afterall.

Its sadly no one. Its just a scripted event to get you another shout. Nate said it himself that you can shout in apocrypha and he can hear you?! That would make that person have EXTRAORDINARY power so it's no one. Well maybe PartySnaxx.

Gotta keep the grindstone lubricated

"I missed the part where that's my problem"

That's a question, not a theory

Evil Monster Gaming that’s where you’re wrong my friend

umpa lumpa maybe your character in Skyrim shot him in the knee and then fled to try and escape Skyrim and was caught

@@TJLikePiggy and how's that? It wasn't a theory though. It was a question

Taking an “arrow to the knee” is old Norse slang for getting married

I would be down

I'd like to imagine its actually Talos, back in Morrowind, you can actually encounter him in ghostgate before you go to the final showdown, Talos as an old soldier will give you a lucky coin. So I'd imagine Talos sends those letters, from one Dragonborn to another.

It's probably Hermaeus Mora

Steve Quick question what book cover mod is Nate using?

Aress Epelu Froki 👍🏻

Kyne and Shor, and others, are the old NORDIC gods. The Reachmen identify with their Breton ancestors, not the Nords who invaded their land, even if there is some Nord DNA in their bloodlines.

I remember the quest but not where to find it and I have been looking. Where is it?

Logan Goerks It’s somewhere in between Falkreath and Riften, I think. Up in the mountains. There should be the cabin where old Froki lives.

@@aressepelu9046 Thank you I thought it was somewhere behind Riften.
