The Lore of Elden Ring's Dragons 

Most sponsors prefer to have their ads at the start or middle of a video - but for some videos that can really affect the viewing experience. So with that in mind, I'd like to take a second to appreciate Displate, who permit me to put their ads at any point in my videos. In this video, their ad is at 1:39:55. As a result, you get an uninterrupted viewing experience in this one, so I'd really appreciate if you could check out their products, if you're interested. I'm lucky to have them supporting this sort of lore content, and of course lucky to have you guys supporting as well. Thank you!

37:08 “placidusax is in a state of eternal maidenlessness.” Yeah, same

The quality of these videos is just incredible. The music, cinematography, and presentation really make you feel the scale of Elden Ring.

watch a movie: nah watch an almost 2 hour youtube video about game lore: hell yeah

1:08:56 So we got a floating city that is most likely from Caelid, and a possible huge part of land that vanished, right next to architecture that looks exactly like Farum Azula, and on the other side you've got animals and Giants that match the beings from the other side? Has anyone considered the fact that Farum Azula IS the land bridge that is now gone?

I love the fact that we had so much dragon-related Zullie the Witch content recently and to discover now that it was no coincidence and that you two were collaborating for this wonderful and massive video !

This is my favorite lore video on the channel. So much substance involved with the ancient dragons and I love how FromSoft designed the Farum Azula architecture into Caelid and didn't write any item descriptions or dialogue to explain it, letting us draw the connection ourselves as to how or why the dragons and probably their caretakers (Beastmen) migrated or established roots to that region. I know From is welk-known for this, leaving things unexplained or unanswered for us to interpret how we prefer, but this is just one of the coolest examples of it

I really appreciate the dragons in Elden Ring because it’s the first time in the series for me that they really felt like a “people” or group. Before you just have Seath and the immortal dragon in DS1, nothing else. In DS2 you have the fake dragon and Sinh, the rest are completely uncharacteristic. DS3 has even less so. I feel like Elden Ring really makes them feel more like characters with their names and unique abilities. At least, for me it did

I don't know what's more mind-blowing: The staggering amount of detail FromSoft packed into this game, or the ability of Vaati and his team to rigorously parse it all out.

This was just … MIND BLOWING ! Thank you so much Vaati 🙏🏻. Everything from the thumbnail all the way to the ending shot was so gripping. I feel lucky to have played the game more now. The hype for the DLC just became much more thanks to this.

Now, I know nothing about this character, but referring to Placidusax's god as 'The Nameless God' instantly made me think of the Nameless King. Kind of plays into that whole connected universe theory for FromSoft games (at least SoulsBorne) but if memory serves, the Nameless King was a forgotten god from long ago and far away and has tons of dragon iconography associated with him. What with Elden Beasts and Greater Wills and all of that, as well as outer gods, it doesn't seem crazy that the Nameless King was Placidusax's God and would explain the abandonment as TNK is in another world/time

one thing about the glintstone dragons that i appreciate very much is how they are named. the first glintstone dragon Smarag is most certainly named after the precious gemstone emerald, which is called a smaragd in german for example, a stone known for its green color. Adula is what truely made me smile though, because it is likely named after Adularia or the effect of adularescence which describes the blue sheen most commonly found in moonstones. a good fit for Ranni's oathsworn

Admittedly, this video is about more than just dragons. But if it's only the dragons you're interested in, I'd recommend skipping ahead to 55:00 at some point as that's where I discuss most of the named dragons!

Im already ready for Vaat to drop the 8 hour video essay analyzing the DLC trailer

The amount of attention to detail it takes to disassemble all the lore and story bits to put it into item descriptions, environments and putting them back together is such a mind boggling thing to see unfold thats why fromsoft games would always be special. Also the people who goes out of their way to piece everything in a team effort matter is such an awesome thing these games does to its players.

Best video in awhile, Vaati! I really like the theory that Azula was once just built in Caelid and a meteor came down, uprooting it and making it float forever. It makes so much sense when you look at architecture in Caelid and Radahn's story, along with what happens to the ground when a meteor goes through in in Limgrave.

Vaati dropping a video right now, seems like DLC update confirmation to me!

About the Old Lord's Talisman having four heads: Since Dragons could turn into humans. The talisman would have been worn when Placidusax was in their human form, which would mean the last head would be the one wearing the talisman

I don't know what to say anymore, I wonder if there is any game where a content creator (and the community around him) plays such a part in the experience of a game. Sometimes I ask myself if it's a good thing for newcomers, and I'd love to hear Vaati's take on this. I certainly enjoy the community aspect of From Soft's games, but isn't that a shame that most players won't have the time, or just know that such a deep lore exist, because at this point it takes multiple full time community members to piece that together. Anyway, I enjoyed every second of this, thank you

Thanks for the deep dives. These are so interesting to listen to!

This could be a stretch but, when Vaati talked about the similarities between Caelid and the mountaintop, all I could think about was that Farum Azula is literally east of that gap between the two sections of the map. What im trying to say is that Farum Azula could possibly have been that land mass between both locations. Could be the reason why Caelid has Farum architecture, why Maliketh is located in both Caelid and Farum, why Greyoll and the northern section of Caelid is called the Dragonsbarrow, why the ice dragons are found in the mountaintops along with the corpses of the giants and the monster dogs and crows are in both locations. There’s so many connections between the three locations and the placement of Farum Azula so close to both Caelid and the mountaintops that it’s possible that long ago Farum was apart of the Lands Between. A capital in place of Leyndell before the Greater Will. Then, when the Nameless God died (or fled) the ancient dragons suspended Farum Azula in an eternal, timeless loop, tearing it away from the Lands Between. Another thing to add is that you can only reach Farum from the mountaintops. Again, could be a stretch, but it’s possible.

-The Nameless Dragon God abandoned Placidusax. -Marika abandoned Godfrey *looks at Ranni* Uh oh...

By far the best Elden Ring lore video you’ve made, in my opinion! This was such a fantastic treat to watch. Thank you for once again delivering a most spectacular viewing experience, Vaati!

Incredible video kept me engaged throughout a whole day whether I was staring at the footage or playing a game just listening.

such a cool thumbnail 😳

Incredible - absolutely breathtaking work as always Vaati. I constantly watch out for your content and you always lift the boundaries of what are possible, inspiring the rest of us. Thanks for the work, you and your collaborators have done; I know how much work goes into a long video - never mind one of this quality.

Waiting room for Vaati’s video about the new DLC trailer, right here.

Vaati, I LOVE your longer content. The quality and depth is awesome. I'll watch your 40, 50, 60+ minute videos once and then replay them as if they were audio podcasts. I'm interested to hear your thoughts/analysis on the DLC release date trailer.

I like the idea of placidusax having both male and female heads, it mirrors Marika and Radagon in a really cool way as we have these two Elden lords that sired their offspring with themself

Modern dragons: 2 wings. Ancient dragons: 4 wings. Elden Beast: 8 wings. So here's my question: what are the odds that the Greater Will has 16 wings like a Biblical angel? Because that would be rad as hell.

I remember watching his lore videos years ago when this channel had a little over 500k subs. So glad to see it growing. VaatiVidya makes such amazing lore. Tbh, if whipped up some D&D homebrew type lore and had images and such to accompany it, id so watch it

The production of this video was so well done. You can tell it comes from a place of love for its source. Well Done!

I always remember the first time i saw Placidusax's intro cut scene - the two remaining heads reaching up and crossing over - the parallel between the two fingers communing or trying to commune with the Great Will was clear and impactful. From's story telling in their design is as masterful as their written story telling.

"He is in an eternal state of...maidenlessness." Sounds like me fr

35:36 I think the lattice pattern actually reflects Radagon’s upbringings as a craftsman of sorts. One of the sewing kits (I believe it’s the one you find in Church of Vows) mentions something of this nature if my memory is clear!

Incredible video as usual. I really had no idea there was so much lore we knew or could speculate about for all these dragons.

1:14:14 Yes, Miquella most likely created castle sol as a way to help Malenia. The eclipse was supposed to cure the Rot God's influence over Malenia, but the eclipse never came, because Radahn was holding back the celestial bodies required to create it. This is why Malenia fought Radahn in the Caelid Wilds. You will also notice that Royal Knight Loretta, who appears in the Carian Manor and the Haligtree, wields Carian magic, but wears the symbol of the Haligtree on her crown. This further implies some relation between Miquella and the Carians.

1:02:41 here's a fun idea. How about both? It was struck by a meteorite, crumbling the city and raising it. Placidusax, to hold the city in the sky, in case the gravitational magic ever began to fail, made the time stopping vortex in the middle of the city, holding himself within it to preserve the city. Perhaps, with his death, it will crash back down someday

41:26 Or if, perhaps, it struck a ruin that had already fallen from farum azula; as the wording of the item seems to imply.

I do love so much your narrative, so plaisant. Thanks for your info collections and hard work to make that video for our biggest joy.

Vaati clearly knows something, we are going back in time for the dlc

So, if there was a land bridge between Caelid and the Mountaintops, and Farum Azula used to be on the ground... was that what the bridge was?

I love you man. These deep lore things I miss while playing make the game feel so much bigger and cooler.❤

All I get out of these videos is From Softwares attention to detail, environment design and art direction is just beyond anything I’ve ever seen

I think Vyke's turning to Frenzy makes sense with the Lokey theory in mind. Him going deep within the underside of Lleyendell to find their old nameless god and uncovering the Frenzy Flame only to be burnt by it and self-imposing exile to prevent its spread would be a very cool story.

BRO that shot at 0:27 where the dragons' maws look like a xenomorph... Absolute masterpiece material

Vaati is probably cooking up a storm with the DLC trailer analysis video 😂

Thank you for your videos, so smoothing and calm, love to listen when I work on something fantasy related!

After months of silence, Vaati has emerged from his tomb to deliver another top tier video. You should start selling these as "Sleep Aids" because it's going to take me 5 watches to make it through.

The dragons' lore is so compelling, there's a reason why I developed my first Tarnished/made a bit of a roleplay of him. I named him Anders Born-Of-Stone, and he sought to emulate the Ancient Dragons. He lived in Farum Azula until the meteor struck and he plummeted to his death, only to rise later as a Tarnished. I used the Draconian preset ethnicity as a basis, I sought out the Scaled set, armed him with the Ruins Greatsword (reclaiming that disaster) + Fingerprint Shield (wanted to know what happened to Vyke) and the Giant Crusher (to avenge the frost dragons and showcase his inhuman strength), and pursued Dragon Communion for those sweet eyes and spells. It was a ton of fun.

Goddamn, the opinion that every tid bit of deep Elden Ring lore is piece meal and connected mostly by speculation and coincidence is getting harder and harder to argue. Your research and deep diving into it shows that it's all just too consistent and specific to not be intentional. The stuff about Miquella's needle needing the absence of time - and all the time related stuff with the dragons and Farum Azula in general, is an amazing piece of detailed lore that noooo one could put together without knowing the full picture of almost everything else. If it were just kind of a bunch of concepts thrown into a pot and scrambled together, it would instantly fall apart when you dug into it and examined the references and connections between things, whether it's item descriptions, character or weapon models, the passive story telling in the environments, it's fucking nutty to conceive hahaha The notion that you, and other creators can make a career almost exclusively deciphering and piecing this stuff together is an ode to the talent of the writers for these games. I was convinced before and didn't hold any of the doubts that people usually bring up ("it's not as thorough as you think, it's a skeleton and the players fill in all of the gaps etc etc") but now I am 100% certain these are some of the greatest world building writers that are out there or that there will be. No other game or fictional world, that ive interacted with, comes even close in my mind. It's top notch shit.

I rarely give compliments to content creators. I get 24 hour blocks often enough. I have to say thank you for what you create on here. I dare say this channel is the single reason I've learned so much about this dark yet beautiful and utterly fascinating world that is The Lands Between. You've added another layer of beauty to it, and we all see it. Great work! With each video, I find myself needing more!

In many depictions of Hydra and hydra like creatures there is believed to be a "lead" head, one that holds most of the control over the beast. The other heads each have their own thoughts and ideas but collectively they work for the lead head's desires. Seeing as Placidusax is the only enemy (afaik) with multiple heads and very much resembles a winged hydra. What if he is both the dragonlord and his god. His god being the missing lead head. Just something I thought was interesting to think about seeing as we don't know who Marika equivalent for the dragonlord is.

I always thought the relationship of Vyke and Lansseax was incredibly romantic, when you consider how intense all the red lightning incantations get. And he was able to coat himself with it. Also makes sense in the way that "a crown is warranted by strength"...maybe that's why dragons also become oathsworn to those who can best them in combat.

Mind blown finding out the broken structures you first see in Limgrave are actually from Farum Azula. I always thought they were weirdly placed ruins from Stormveil but they never lined up. Your videos are amazing.

My theory about farum azula's time twisting properties is that placudisax actually has direct influence. Placudisax is still alive there in the past. Because he is entangled with that location in the past, when we lay down and become part of the land, we are then entangled with the land and become part of the moment in time affected by placudisax's presence. This only happens because we are not immune to time, just like crumbling farum azula. So we can be manipulated just like the land. For placudisax the arena isnt destroyed like it is for us, so by being at the same place where placudisax was, for him it could be the same thing as us just being there normally since its the same physical location, just different time location.

11:48 I think miquella did know that time, or at least plasidusax and the ancient dragons, was the missing puzzle piece. When you pick up miquellas needle, you also get an somber ancient dragon smithing stone, which is said to be one of plasidusax's scales which warps time around it

DS1's Everlasting Dragons: *got killed by Gwyn and his lightnings* ER's Ancient Dragons: "Well well well, how the turntables?"

I believe it is stated why Vyke tried to claim the frenzied flame, and it is the same reason many players did. He cared too much about Lannseax and was not willing to give her up to burn the Erdtree. Unfortunately his claiming of the flame was flawed, and he was driven mad, ultimately being sealed away.

I can’t wait for your video on the DLC trailer. I had no idea what was going on, please enlighten me!

In Japanese tornado is called Tatsumaki(竜巻) or dragon(竜) twist(巻). In Japanese or Asia, dragons are considered divine and said to be able to summon storm. You can clearly see where they got the inspiration for those western looking dragons

I hope we get to see a black flame dragon. That would be dope

Amazing video dude, the artworks realy help us engage with the lore

I bet the game developers behind the lore aspect of the game absolutely loves when Vaati drops a lore video as it shows there are individuals that truly adore their created world to the extent the developers do.

On the question of whether Farum Azula was already in the air when it was struck by a meteorite, it's a tough one. The Ruin Fragment description says they are "believed to have once been part of a temple in the sky". We know wording is chosen very carefully in this game, and to me the way that's worded implies that Farum Azula was whole at some point when it was in the sky. The Ruins Greatsword is a little harder to parse: "Originally rubble from a ruin which fell from the sky, the ruin it came from crumbled when struck by a meteorite." But again, it seems like Farum Azula was already in the sky when it became a "ruin", with pieces of it falling from the sky only after it's destruction. It also feels too well-preserved to have survived being destroyed on the ground and only then hoisted into the sky. This does leave us with the question of what magic allowed Farum Azula to float, if not gravity magic from the meteorite. I feel like time and gravity are somewhat interwoven thematically: Radahn uses gravity magic to hold back the stars, but in doing so they seem almost frozen in time. Dragons are often referred to by their stony nature (with gravity magic often involving stones also): Fortissax was called the "mightiest boulderstone", and Greyoll is likened to a mountain. It could be that the time-twisting magic of the ancient dragons also allowed them to manipulate gravity, allowing Farum Azula to float above the Lands Between.

"Tarnished Archeologist" makes a great analogy with trees and botanical grafting as explanation for all the different "devolutions".

I just want to put into perspective how good you are at making videos that anyone can watch without needing any previous videos to understand it

My theory on the meteorite that destroyed Farum Azula is that it was the golden star itself containing the elden beast that upon arrival to the lands between passed through Farum Azula fragmenting the city. This act of destruction was the catalyst of the end of the pre-historic age of the dragons and beasts and the rise of the new age of the Golden Order. I believe this happened when the Greater Will became dissatisfied with the "Nameless God" abandoning the lands between weakening "Order" itself, so the Greater will sent the Golden Star as both a punishment to the previous ruling order and simultaneously to start a new age.

Hope to see Tarnished Archeologists' theories mentioned in the future - their analysis is always fun to watch

one thing that came to mind during the ancient elden ring chapter was a method I learned in school: when chopping a tree down, you would cut a lattice/checker-like pattern into the stump to slow its regrowth/aid in decomposition. ...which COULD be something but I dunno 🤷‍♂just one of those weird coincidences maybe

Perhaps the frenzied flame IS the crucible. If the crucible contained everything, and all was one. Then that matches perfectly the frenzied flames objective of “once everything was one and to one everything will return”

"Salt makes any meal taste a little bit better" Is such a cold line 🔥🔥🔥

The scope of history in Elden Ring is astonishing to me. This story stretches across millenia (and if Enya is to be believed, tens of millenia). This was my first FromSoft game, and to have different historical periods to identify within a fictional land is a level of world-building I have never seen vefore

I was thinking about the nature of the dragon's missing god, and I developed a theory (apologies if you have covered this already) that I believe ties up some loose ends in the lore. You reference early on that at one point we suspect that the two fingers and the three fingers were one (for convenience, let's say the five fingers). If true, then the five fingers are what was originally sent to the land between as the representative of an outer god, and the five five fingers acted as its representative in prehistoric times. As I see it, the five fingers were a combination of two aspects: order (represented by the gold color) and passion (represented by red). This was the god of the ancient dragons, who utilized the power of this combined aspect (lightning, a spell of order in the modern times, but infused with the red passion that makes it stronger). Items related to the crucible having a color scheme containing both red and gold further supports this. Finally, the outer god is described as the "greater will." To have will means to have 1) purpose (or passion) and 2) specific focus (or order). However, something happened. At some point during the crucible, the two fingers (order) and the three fingers (passion) separated from each other. Because passion without order is uncontrolled chaos, the three fingers were sealed away to prevent the total destruction of the land between, and those touched by the three fingers suffered uncontrollable passion, frenzy. Meanwhile, the unalloyed order of the two fingers controlled the lands between through the Erdtree (which also served as the prison of the three fingers), creating a regime of passionless order. It was order without purpose, direction, or intent: order for order's sake, and it eventually drove the denizens of the land between mad. Those physically changed by the three fingers saw their changes (like the horns of the omens) grew uncontrollably without any order to guide them. Followers of order became austere, lacking in passion lest it be seen as a betrayal of order. It is unclear to me what happened, but whatever it was destroyed the crucible and left the Erdtree and the elden rune altered. Perhaps the combined fires of creation grew out of control and ripped the five fingers apart. As "crucible" can also be defined as a "test," perhaps the five fingers failed somehow. At any rate, my theory is that the ancient dragons are indeed waiting for their god to return, but their god never did because it had been broken into two aspects. The greater will cannot effectively influence the lands between because its two aspects are no longer on speaking terms--the two halves of the messages are not being combined, and so the greater will's influence is being interrupted. I could go on about the duality inherent in representatives of the greater will, but I've rambled long enough...

The quality is outstanding, I can't wait to see the armored core video

My man, when are you gonna do a series on Lies of P????? That game is a masterpiece and has not gotten anywhere close to enough love as it should be getting.

"Placidusax is in a state of eternal maidenlesness" I felt this on a spiritual level :(

It's also important to note that the banished knights can use dragon comunion incantations.

While I was watching this video, right after Vaati said ‘it’s possible to get Yuma to say this…’ I got a ad that starting out with a person saying ‘yeah baby that was fun’. I thought ‘that’s not how I remember that line going’

52:15 How about this: When Godwyn the Golden's spirit died, what he left behind was the *fog of death* , something that rivaled the outer Gods. What if when the Nameless God died, their spirit left behind the erdtree and possibly the elden ring, but their body left behind the *flame of frenzy* ? Maybe some forces in the Lands Between are made from dead God-like entities, and are not actual Outer Gods.

I feel like I saw a twitter thread forever ago probably by Quelaag taking about Vyke's lore and the reason why he sought the 3 fingers is because he learned about how he would have to sacrifice his maiden to complete his quest and he couldn't bear doing that so likely Shabriri in some guise told him of the 3 fingers and how to completely the ritual at the mountaintops without sacrificing his maiden. At some point he was stopped and imprisoned up there before he could do it though.

This is better than most movies that clock in at 1hr 40min. The pacing, visuals, and sheer writing quality are leaps and bounds better than most of what passes for entertainment these days. To put it simply, this reeks of hard work and passion.

This video makes me want to do a Dragon Cult run where I do everything to honour the ancient dragons.

Ive been a devout follower since DS1. I may have missed it but have you, or would you, make a video discribing how you have felt about the evolution of the series of games made from Miyazakis games and how his games having so many reoccurring themes impacted you as a creator. On one hand its super interesting and awesome how the creators take his input and views and make such different and great games. But on the other from your perspective, how does it feel and what does it mean to try interpret the very similar meanings and themes throught his games.

I always liked Placidusax and the ancient dragons and their lore. But i can see there was more to learn of the other dragons. I really liked this video Vatti.

The lore of all from software games is just always so ... enchanting? Grand, and magical. Mythical and all the good things that dark fantasy needs. You carry us through this world with your well thought through script and soothing voice. These games and your videos proof that entertainment can be more than that. Thank you for that!

hearing about the dragon cult items in Faram Azula reminded me of the teleporter at The Four Belfries. perhaps the citizens of Leyndell used this to aquire dragon cult incantations and may even be one of the reasons Radagon allied with Raya Lucaria in the first place - to gain access to Faram azula.

This was amazing. Were you to ever become a movie director....you would change the artistic history of humanity. Thank you for all that you do.

I think there's something worth noting here: Placidusax is said to be waiting for the return of their god, but it is waiting in the one place in all the Lands Between where the influence of a god cannot be reached, and its body and that of their kin are all arrayed in a way to prevent any divine influence from ever reaching them. So, it is unlikely that this reunion that Placidusax is waiting for is some kind of tear-filled and joyous reconciliation, and is more likely to be a vengeful reckoning. This tracks when you consider what gods have long been like throughout the history of Elden Ring. Every one of Marika/Radagon's past consorts have been betrayed in one way or another. Godfrey was cast out as soon as he had finished slaying all of the enemies of Marika's order. Renalla was gifted the golden egg, a poison chalice that damaged her mind and left her unable to rule. Then, when Marika and Radagon ruled as one, they betrayed each other. Even when married to herself, Marika could not stop betraying her consort. Further, in Crumbling Farum Azula, we're given indications that beasts once served Placidusax, the beasts being granted thumbs in exchange for betraying the dragons and serving Marika instead. However, given the treatment we then see non-humans like the demi-humans receiving afterwards, we can see how that deal turned out. Marika betrays everyone, over and over again. But wait, Marika was around at the time of Placidusax? Then doesn't that mean that she could very well be the god that Placidusax is waiting for? But if so, then why did the dragon never go to confront her? Well, he is. But not in the present. Here in the modern age, Marika is too strong and Placidusax too weak. Rather, he and his subjects are rewinding time, trying to return to a time before Marika betrayed them, before everything went wrong. They are trying to end the Golden Order before it can begin. Consider all the enemies and bosses we meet in that domain. Beastmen, godskins, everyone with a legitimate beef with the gods are there. All of them are trying to hitch a ride to the past, to a time before betrayal left them diminished and destitute. In the modern era, they can't defeat Marika and the Elden Beast. However, if they rewind time to the past, they can end her reign before it starts. Even Maliketh is here, hoping to ride the storm until before the theft of the rune of destined death, seeking to undo his failure and redeem himself. Farum Azula is a time machine, filled with people who were screwed over by Marika and the Golden Order, all hoping for a do-over.

Vaati: Superserious almost 2 hours video of ER lore. Also Vaati: Lego Yoda death scream in 2:32 Never change xD

I love all the effort you put into the videos and the way you use your voice to tell about the lore and theories behind. There is just one thing that distracts me from listening and thats your way you put pauses while speaking, if you know what I mean. If you care ^^ Anyway, keep up the good work. A elden ring enjoyer

that was cool. I'm actually very fond of dragons, have been since I was a kid. but I am also fond of listening to gaming lore, so this was a wonderful treat to listen to and enjoy

With regards to Placudisax's heads being labeled as both male and female, we see this same representation of divine hermaphroditism embodied by Marika/Radagon, also within nature itself in various species of flowering trees/plants. Divine hermaphroditism is also featured pretty heavily in alchemical mythology as well, which this game's lore is steeped in to a large degree. Love these new long form lore deep-dives, Vaati. Thanks for everything you and the other lore-masters do for this community!

Something to note and, correct me if I’m wrong but when you get the final version of the needle you also get an ancient dragon smithing stone. That is, at the very least to me, a hint that Miquella did know about the time component, but was unable to either fuse the needle with the stones time warping capabilities. Or Miquella did not merge them in time (no pun intended) before mogh took him from the haligtree. That’s my thoughts on it.

Eternal maidenlessnes 😭💀

32:08 Was that a parry?! Edit: Incredible video; a truly momentous effort to explain the dragons and their history/importance, in full.

Another tidbit that could add to your theory of "the storm is helping twisting time" is that all the tornadoes spin counter-clockwise. Against the very flow of time.

1:05:57 This shot kind of brings attention to an interesting parallel - The dead giants in the ground in Caelid are kind of analogous to the ancient dragons buried in the ground in Farum Azula.

Some of the theories definitely feel like reaches where there is little evidence, but they do make some sense, and I often think you do a better job at sticking to the item descriptions than other youtubers. Awesome job. I love long lore videos.

LOVE these videos. been binging the playlist today after Ludwig watched 2 on stream the other day. so well done.
