What Happened To The Other Provinces During The Oblivion Crisis? - Elder Scrolls Lore 

Daedra: I fear no mortal, but that thing *glances at Argonians* its scares me

Argonians Soviet

All of Argonian species: I serve the *Hist*

Vencidious no, WE serve the hist

RU-vid User no, All serve the Hist.

Vencidious no, All serve our hist

Sheiiiit free armor dawg

Hey, you live in blackmarsh and see a portal to a land that seems slightly more hospitable, better believe you are gonna manifest that destiny.

Black Friday in Black Marsh

Random Native Khajit going into Oblivion Gate during late-3rd Era: "Cool, what can I use HERE to make drugs?"

Holy shit thats awesome

and as a little added fun fact: According to the Hist, they were created by Sithis prior to the creation of Nirn by Lorkhan and the Aedra. The Hist hive-minded tree thus still worship Sithis, and since the Hists created the Argonian race, the Argonians of Black Marsh also have a cult for Sithis. Heck, all Argonians born under the sign of the Shadow are raised in the Black Brotherhood, or at least they were prior to the Skyrim game(since the Black Brotherhood lost much of its influence). Those Argonians were known as Shadowscales, and the ones who survive and who are in Black Marsh are also acting as assassins and spies for Argonia(the Argonian country in Black Marsh). As such, now with so little contact with the Black Brotherhood, the ones born under the sign of the Shadow are likely just trained by the remaining Shadowscales who work for the Argonian government, and they likely just contribute to that work too once they are trained.

Why are there argonians during the events of Oblivion in cyrodiil and why is this never mentioned in game?

Lore fleshed out after the game? There was almost no outside lore in game, Skyrim mentioned a couple of times. Also some Argonians might've not gotten into the migration business.

Why didn't I get this call from the Hist tree during my play throughs in Oblivion lol I only use Argonian when I choose a race.

they came out of the trees, man! they came out of the trees!

IM iii

They have a symbiotic relationship - like the Gungans and the Naboo ;P Seriously, though, the Hist need the Argonians to watch their backs, and in return the Hist acts as the eyes, ears, and support structure for Argonian Society.

Does a tree have a back to watch?

A tree is literally ALL back, my dude. They need a race of lizard loraxes to speak for them, you know how it is. To keep those Imperial and Dunmer logging companies from turning them into Hist-scented scroll paper.

Shogorath will always protect us. He is just waiting to tell others that Jyggalag is free. oh, what fubn that will be. He and Jyggalag made plans, I am 100% sure of it. Soon deadric princes will die off. Rest assured, Dagon cnat even scratch fully leveled hero of Kvatch and he can kill Dagon with mere thought.

@@007RAJKOify but Daedra are immortal. Even when they "die", their bodies and souls will get recycled and come back, whether it takes them mere seconds or decades or in Umaril's case, a few thousand years. Please note: Umaril was Aylied , but struck a deal with one of the Daedric Lord's, got a army of Aurorans and became a Daedra for lack of a better word to call him.

The Champion of Morrowind wait, I know you.

@@paladinheadquarters7776 You're making a mistake...

There's no mistake. You ran away when the Daedra attacked Morrowind, now what are you going to say?

That’s what I’m doing in Skyrim I’m like do you have any idea who you are messing with

They need to be summoned or come through a gate. Not many magic users in Skyrim. No gates either. Skyrim seems one of the most vulnerable to Daedra attack I would guess they got mauled.

There actually is a voiceline in oblivion that says that from falkreath to windhelm skyrim was overrun with deadra

@@marsnz1002 Who knows how bad it was exactly, but Whiterun is literally surrounded by ruins, in fact there's so many ruins in Skyrim that makes you think that they never fully recovered

I think they did

Doctor Strangelove no. That is actually false the hist never told the argonians about the deadra coming they didn't even know the argonians only faired so well in the oblivion crisis because how deadly black marsh. All the info about the hist telling the argonians was just some fan story some guy came up with years ago I can't remember the name but people just stuck to it and they end up thinking it is canon when we have litteraly no record about how the argonians stormed oblivion in any of the games

Wasn't it something MK wrote up? I don't at all like C0DA but a lot of his work I do consider lore, I digress as you are write in that it's technically not canon but MK canon.

Doctor Strangelove no that' one of the many parts of TES c0da lore MK didn't create but people mistake it as his

I stand corrected.

HiiPER MaaDMaan lol people keep citing this all through the comments as if its relevant... And it turns out to not even be canon? Hilarious 😂

StraightUpIrish How do ya know all these things about the udder provences?

StraightUpIrish In all seriousness, Bethesda needs to use you (more specifically, your voice) in one of their TES games.

Neat! You also play ESO. I'm an Imperial!

miaq no maik

Gerfoe, One with the Cheese It's M'aiq.

Kerschi 14 Have you heard any news from the other provinces?

@@deanmurray4776 Lol

@@deanmurray4776 I have been better.

Ok

Uuuh.. they're very good... uh sometimes people got turned into them... and people would steal them a lot. There you go. Years of research all put into one comment.

I'm hungry and that stupid robot destroyed the cake. Give me that sweetroll you got from old lady palmer.

@Willow Hicks They also took credit for ending the Oblivion Crisis.Which at the time many high elves believed them since they were not immediately aware of the events that took place in Cyrodiil.

Steven Green A course. Thank you I forgot to mention that.

Man you can't trust Them tall long ear bastards. They don't even have respect to their bosmer cousins.

@jahmerry h Yes the Thalmor are extremists.Even going as far as to commit the occasional purge of any bosmer clan or faction that does not subscribe to their policies of elven unification or supremacy.But you must remember not all high elves think the way they do.Chancellor Ocato who was part of the imperial government during the Oblivion Crisis.Did not agree with what the Thalmor were doing back in his homeland.He ended up getting exiled back to Cyrodiil.Along with other high elves seeking amnesty within the empire.

Steven Green for all way know 60% of the Altmer could hate their government just like America and her president, but the High Elves live in fear of interrogation, torture and even death if they speak out.

alex fxll I feel they definitely try to put the story in, but don't bother going in depth or explaining in any way other than superficially. Or it just seems like they have a complete blank spot in their memory to major plots in previous games that would have massive ramifications that if it were a real scenario, would be talked of for centuries. Slaying of an Ayleid? Eh, the oblivion crisis that threatened to end the world as it was known? Oblivion crisis? The hell is the oblivion crisis..oh right some dark elf kicked the bucket from a daedra when he was making an opus - Skyrim

@@unholymalformationoffisto2131 "Some dark elf" is our saviour Jiub, the eradicator of the winged menace

yeah but they dont say anything meaningful.

Irene Parkin I read somewhere that Valenwood thought of unleashing the Wild Hunt and turning every Bosmer within the province into bloodthirsty shape shifting monsters to kill the Daedra. They ended up not doing it, since it would practically drive the race to extinction. That could also be completely fake.

Jorge Filêmom what are the clues tho

They only tell us about the Mythic Dawn,no "Clues" about what happened to the provinces during the Obvlion Crisis.

If you have the dawnguard dlc, there’s a tattered mythic dawn banner in Lord Horkan? I can’t remember his name. But the banner is hanging in the castle, implying a, this vampire clan has been around for centuries, and b, that the oblivion crisis bled into Skyrim at least slightly. This isn’t definitive, just something worth noting.

Chelsie yeah that mythic dawn banner is a real head scratcher eh? But considering molag bal and Mehrunes Dagon are about as chummy as the empire and the stormcloaks it’s safe to assume that banner is likely one of Harmon’s spoils of war

The Mad Hattress there's a mod that can put dead Oblivion Gates into Skyrim.

I guess they ended up buried by snow

File Scout or destroyed.

Irene Parkin I was talking about the remainings, that rocks that stay in the ground even after destroying them.

@The Mad Hattress You would think their would be Oblivion Gates still around two hundred years later.However i think their are at least two factors to consider.First within the empire i believe religious authorities would have gotten the government to tear most if not all of them down.As a " just in case " measure and to make sure they do not become gathering places for daedric worship.( especially for followers of Dagon ) If the empire missed any the Vigilants of Stendaar would have surely been keeping an eye out for any in their travels.Then wasted no time in tearing them down themselves once they got enough men and the necessary tools at the site.The rest may have suffered erosion due to various climate conditions and the weather.Then collapsed on their own.I am sure the other provinces may have torn down their's as well for the same reasons.But it is possible their might be some left in Tamriel and possibly even Akavir as well.

Have*

It's my favorite deadra god I think they really do care about blackmarsh

They have always been the best race

*for slavery*

Yeah, I've always loved the argonians, I just never felt compelled to play as one.. I just remember them having so much character in Oblivion, lol! Damn i need to finish that game. This video also made me respect them so much more.

ironically enough, i don't think i've ever played as an argonian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eww

ben schlahmilch No

The Maormer don't have the Hist backing them. The Hist are the only reason the Argonians turned back the invasion: the Hist knew that it was coming, altered Argonians to make them more powerful and more aggressive, and had these beefed up Argonians mass in the locations where the Hist knew the Oblivion Gates would appear. They made the Argonians ready for the invasion.

also the nords probably annhialated the daedra tbh

Gearóid Folan Great ideas 😀👍

Weißt du den Weg

These are interesting questions so I'll answer them from my view! 1. I didn't kill cicero because he was just trying to help. The night mother to him is like his actual mother, and hearing everyone in the brotherhood pretty much say "She shouldn't be here" made cicero angry. I think he was reasonably correct in what he did, especially considering the times that he is in (Where people could kill for a sweetroll) 2. Because he is meant to end the kalpa. Not much you can do, so you may as well enjoy what you've got. 3. Hahaha no. 4. Can't remember lel 5. There was a theory about the emperor hiring the brotherhood himself, you should check it out! 6. From my least favourite to most favourite: Morrowind is a 1/10 for me. Oblivion is a 7/10 and skyrim is a 9/10 (I enjoy good graphics and open world) 7. I'd love to know that myself. 8. Personally, the college of winterhold. I enjoy the magical aspect of the elder scrolls series. I loved the design and lore of winterhold, because it really is mysterious! I'll expand on why I didn't choose the others: Companions: They were my 2nd favourite but I love magic too much haha Thieves Guild: This is my 3rd favourite because I loved the abilities you get from this, and it's also fine to use my magic (Illusion) Dark brotherhood: They had like one amazing quest (My fave quest in the game too) but not much else. Idk, this dark brotherhood didn't have the charm of the oblivion one. ---- DLC ----- Dawnguard: It was amazing and mystical but I hated the characters. Lord Harkons court: My least favourite, I don't like vampires. 9. Uhhhhhh 10. That's called Lordbound, and I'm super hyped for it.

The Blades aren't dicks. Delphine is a dick. The Blades from TES IV - Oblivion are pretty cool.

Quin B Why is Morrowind 1/10? Mario Vinicius Agreed Gearóid Folan What is Dragon Crysis? Do you mean the return of Alduin?

And a think i head few NPCs in Bruma say that most of the major holds in skyrim were destroyed by daedra.
