The COMPLETE GUIDE to DRAGONS in the Elder Scrolls - Elder Scrolls Lore 

Alduin is that twin who claims to be born 2 minutes and 36 seconds before the other twin.

"I hear those elder dragons down in Skyrim have curved horns.. CURVED HORNS..!"

"Due to th'uum being more closely tied to their language, fights are more closely related to heated debates than actual fights." Dragon to another dragon: "Your waifu is shit!" *Dragon war has begun*

You forgot our old friend, the red dragon Odahviing. He’s my favorite.

"Apparently the Cliff Racers pushed out Dragons out of Morrowind" Probably because they got swarmed, and missed every single attack.

"Dragons used to raise cattle and smith weapons" Wait, what?!

We even put dragons in fallout 76

Yeah, I made a shout used to kill dragons, it’s so strong that aldrin fears it immensely. What does it do you ask? It does like 0 damage and makes them sit down for a lil bit

"supposedly the cliff racers pushed the dragons out of Morrowind" Of course they did, only Saint Jiub could truly stand up to those beasts, not even the Nerevarine was able to beat them.

"you absolutely should not kill Paarthurnax" 😂😂😂😂

It honestly always bothered me that we supposedly HAVE to kill the dragons. Alduin is one thing, as well as any fiercely loyal followers, but the rest should be able to be our ally, especially since we're the dragonborn.

So the Dragons that died in Elsweyr never had their souls devoured, therefore are technically still alive? Or at the very least able to be brought back?

Imagine being a child of Akatosh but being scared of a kitty

You forgot to mention Odahving, one of Alduin's liutenants during the events of Skyrim. He betrayed him and changed his loyalty towards us, the Dragonborn as we beated him un combat and he considered dragonborn stronger than Alduin.

"He is the least impressive of the dragon trio" Hey, that hurt his feelings.

What's the story of Naaslaarum & Voslaarum, the two dragons you find in the Forgotten Vale?

WINGED ARGONIANS! THEY'VE RETURNED AT LAST!

Wait Dragons used to raise cattle,by Oblivion now I have a images of Dragons watching over herds of sheep.

Immortal dragon: exists Dragonborn: *immabout to eat this mans whole soul*

Guard in town says "Watch the skies traveler", and suddenly the song of the same name starts playing when a Dragon attacks in Skyrim.😎

Wow, they're really Dragon out these videos... JK love your content. All hail the true Tribunal!

As cliche as Dragon's can be,I really like TES's interpretation of them.

i think you forgot about Odahviing, another unique dragon. great video as usual, informative and compact.

"(Tosh Rhaka) was the only person in recorded history to do what he did and turn into a dragon" Martin Septim: Am I a joke to you?

Dragon herder and blacksmith? Now that would be a sight to see. I do hope we get to see some dragons with unique personalities in TES6.

Whenever a dragon absorbs the soul of another dragon, it's consolidating Akatosh's power. Theoretically, once one dragon (or dragonborn) has absorbed the souls of every other dragon, that being will _be_ Akatosh, or at the very least, capable of Mantling him.

I'd go the Miraak route, gain power as a Dragonpriest and then fight back against them, although from within. Raise an army, take out any threats as sneakily as possible before a full out attack.

What does the nature of the soul of a dragon mean for the dragonborn, they will just ascend to atherius, also if dragons arn't born is it possible that the dragon born is the same dragon soul reincarnated over and over as tamriel needs it

In Skyrim, I would highly recommended you install two mods - KS Dragon Overhaul 2 & Dragon Combat Overhaul and then fight dragons. It's a whole new experience which will have you scooped up by giant talons, flattened on the ground by the powerful gusts of wind & running away from a meteor storm with your pants down if you're not prepared.

Wait wait wait. You said Numinex forgot his own name? How is that possible? To know a thu'um is to become one with the very essence of it's meaning. If a dragon somehow forgot it's own name, wouldn't the dragon simply no longer exist?

I would join the dragon cult for sure. Great video.

So THAT'S why my parents are always arguing... it's not that they hate each other, it's that they are practicing their thu'ums and such.

I was subscribed for 2 years and only today I realized that the channel is owned by 3 people

I want an explanation of how Kalpas work. Do the gods stay between Kalpas? Do they go through the same process to create Mundus, as if they are in a time loop? I have never stayed up so late thinking about fictional epistemology.

Alduin after saving you: Why do I hear boss music

Someone’s been reading Skyrim’s loading screens 😏

Something about that skyrim theme at the start makes my heart jump

Since the dragonborns are practically dragons but in human form does that mean they are also immortal you said that dragons do not die unless their soul was consumed does that include dragonborns as well

19:20 And don't forget the mask of Alkosh, it's similar to a dragon priest mask, and when the mask is empowered, the user is enveloped in an aura identical to the dragon aspect shout

Martin Septim was able to use the Amulet of Kings to transform into am Avatar of Akatosh, in the form of a very powerful dragon. Its very plausible that Tosh Raka was able to do something similar.

He turned himself into a dragon, funniest shit I ever seen.

YAY TIME FOR ANOTHER FUDGMUPET VID

There is so much lore to this universe I can just lose myself in

i’ve been fascinated with the dragons of the Elder Scrolls lore and so to getting learn this much in depth of them wether or not i knew already was awesome. i’ve been watching your vids for years and this is THE BEST! love you fudge muppet

LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH

Absolutely brilliant videos. Just the thing I need when I need to calm down and fall asleep. You guys have the most soothing voices ever. Much love

Lovely, content as always! Might i suggest a video about the herbs of Tamriel

I love these lore videos so much. Thank you FudgeMuppet!

What if Shor, via his avatar the last dragonborn, tricked Alduin into his domain(Sovngard) and Absorbed his essence(or a part of it) when he "died".

If Alduin was brought in to end the world, does that mean Akatosh wanted to hit the reset button barely after creation?!

Great stuff. Love dragon lore!

Love your vids!

Dude your videos are the absolute best thank you Jarl Scott

I feel that since Alduin was slain in Sovenguard he was absorbed by Shor/Loken, and thus gaining more strength.

Hallo lovely FudgeMuppet bois. I am in Los Angeles, so your videos always drop around 4-4:30 am for me. I usually just watch them when I wake up. But, last few days I have been watching this pretty close to right away. So good! You each do so well & draw us into the different series, whatever the particular subject might be. Love you guys & hope you are all doing well. Summer here, so Winter there? If so, stay cozy, gents.

Honestly, I find it amazing how much lore there is in Skyrim, it's so cool to me.

Love these lore videos! It would be awesome to have a book with all of this laid out!

What an informative video, finally a complete-feeling summary of the lore behind the dragons in the Elder Scrolls. I've watched many of your lore vids and this has to be one of my favorites. Thinking of them as Aedra manifesting themselves in Mundus for some reason makes them ten times cooler, as I never really understood before where they lay in terms of power and influence among the Daedra and divines. I really wish we got to explore the Merethic era and its events more, the Dragon War especially. Additionally, I wonder if the dragons, the Ehlnofey and the Hist are fundamentally connected in some way, given that all three of these beings were present in the Dawn Era and have such divine niches to fulfill in the flow of future events on Nirn. Some kind of distant connection there would be really fascinating.

Kinda glad that Aldiun decided to rebel against his duty at first, or else the world might've already been destroyed, who knows

Thank you for all the lore videos, FM. While you can read a bunch of wiki entries to get all this information it is far superior to be able to just sit someone down and say 'watch this'.

Another great video to start off my morning !!!

Keep the good work up love your videos keep it up 🤙🏽

I don’t know if I misunderstood you, but you said it’s unlikely that there can be multiple Dragonborns at once. But LDB and Miraak existed at the same time. Also if the Dragonborn Emperors are actually Dragonborn, that would also mean that there can be multiple Dragonborns at once, since Uriel and Martin Septim existed at the same time.

Shor’s bones Fudge Muppet actually acknowledged ESO for once. About time you finally accept that ESO is cannon.

I love your lore videos and stuff like this.

"You trying to get some of this hot fire?" -Dylon

Think this is is my Favourite video of the many I've viewed on this channel

Would you be able to put TES lore videos in one playlist? Btw love your videos.

Yesssss. It's almost like you read my personal video request and made it. 😂😂 Thanks boys!!

Yes! Fudgemuppet using ESO footage!

Alduin should attack with Smash mouth playing RockStar. And when they fall, Sound of Silence.

I love the lore videos. Thanks!

Beautiful vid and music man

You skipped over Odahving and Vultheryol when discussing unique dragons. Vultheryol, I kind of understand, but Odahving is completely unique in his appearance and interactions.

“He’s the only person to ever do what he did; turn into a dragon” Martin Septim: Am I a joke to you?

There are only 14 dragon priest masks that feature in Skyrim, not 19.

man the intro music is soo nostalgic i can't believe its been 9 years since it came out i remember being 10 when it first came out a friend of mine bought it and invited me to play it and instantly i wanted my mom to buy it for me and i would spent hour upon hours completing it ahhh so many memories

Great vid

I can’t wait to see where this channel goes when TES VI comes out!

"I'm hiccup the third, and this is 'how to train you dragon'"

Dragons: we are superior beings! Mortals: Wiggle opposable thumbs

thank you for this video. i was wondering what the relation the eso dragons had to alduin. they're way larger than him lol

I love you guys

Al, of these great Elder Scrolls Lore videos are making me want to get back into playing Skyrim or should I look into getting ESO?

By Aka I love these videos.

Say what you want about ESO but it did it dragons justice besides being free shouts.

Fascinating work condensing the dragon lore in a wonderful guide, as always. Thank you again and everyone at Fudgemuppet. I only wish you would delve into the realm of the unknown and explored theories of your own. When you look at the how Lorkhain and Akatosh created Mundus it appears similar to other realms of oblivion however this is a realm that has had the immortal energies that connects all in Oblvion together, severed. In Oblivion where the world is shaped by even the simplest of lifeforms who are as immortal as they are amorphous. With this energy separated, magic is still accessible and instead of the immortal spirit reforming it's physical vessel like a Daedra's Animus, instead these souls of the mortal races ascend to the realm of pure mysticism which is shaped by the various beliefs of the now mortal races. The races of Mer clearly evolved from the "Aedra" who were just powerful Daedra whom had lost their divine immortality and evolved into mortal Mer after Mundus was created. The most powerful of these Aedra were able to use the heart of Lorkhain to finish constructing the realm then used it to become pure energy. The raw forces of energy that can be accessed by its followers, in other words, the Divines. Then you have dragons, immortal conduits of energy whose immortality has failed to have been separated from their physical vessels. Even after being slain, the soul of a dragon does not ascend and therefore any can be resurrected unless their immortal energy is absorbed and therefore assimilates into another. The dragon god of time, Akatosh and his connection to time's conclusion by the jaws of Alduin. Perhaps both are aspects that were separated from Auriel when he transcended, ignoring the potential dragon break's influence. Dragons are the closest thing Mundus has to immortal Daedra and it has been shown how these creatures can venture into other realms of oblivion and become a part of those realms like other Daedra who dwell in new realms of Oblivion. Their artifacts like Goldbrand was even claimed by a Daedra Prince.The only hole is that if the Daedra had became the Aedra who evolved into the various races of Mer, then how were the dragons born? Maybe the power the immortality itself, became personified in its patron deities form. Did the act of Auriel becoming the god of this realm of oblivion create the race of dragons? I don't even think the writers at Bethesda know this.

Amazing video,its like the history channel but I really want to watch

Imagining Cliff Racers attacking Dragons has to be one of the funniest things.

My younger brothers birthday is on Aug 22 and he loves your videos I was wondering if you could give him a shout out

In some gameplay, I don't like using Dragonrend - if you've got the soul of a Dragon, it'd be like torturing the dragon half of your being the same way Dragonrend seemed to pain Alduin right?

An ideea just hit me hearing you, if Akatosh can bestow the gift of dragonborn on any individual as a whim perhaps the duty/ability of world eater can be bestowed the same on another, maybe Parthurnax will become the world eater at the end of time, regardless if you kill him or not in Skyrim, or another worthy dragon, Now that the dragonborn has the strongest Thum after defeating Alduin he shape the dragons into the ways of the old not being the tyrannical rules that they were under Alduin but a new milder version of cohabitants with the rest of Tamriel - my dream is that when the TSaeci will invade we will have dragon riders fighting in the great army of the Tamriel.

I binge these videos everyday. Ring that bell bois. ❤

Man, he forgot the new dragon king, and skyrim's red tail call....

Paarthurnax confirms that Alduin is the first born dragon of Akatosh. "As is usually the case with FIRST BORNS."

At the end of Southern Elsweyr main quest in ESO the dragon that help us, says something like he feel some force (or something like that) that is still there waiting to return, implying Alduin's return

R’hakatosh couldve just been a conduit like martin but since it happened to him first in a very ancient time its possible his deeds and name became merged into the use of akatosh to describe said divine

I hope we get more info on those vampire snake people they sound terrifying

Hahaha! You have much to learn of the dov, then. There is nothing else but philosophy to a dovah. It is no accident that we do battle with our Thu'um, our Voices. There is no distinction between debate and combat to a dragon. Tinvaak los grah. For us it is one and the same."

4:10 was mega trippy to me because one of my Argonian characters, Gryphys, has a very similar getup. The pic looks like ebony armor (?), mine has nordic carved armor with ebony boots, and im pretty sure that's a dragon priest mask edit: nvm it literally shows it in light 2 secs later, its orcish i think
