We shouldn't forget the Akaviri had far more exposure to dragons than the tamrielic people. So yeah, them knowing Thu'um and using it to control the weather doesn't seem unlikely at all.
On top of the fact it takes decades for non dragon borns to master the Thuum depending on the user and shout but some races on Akavir can live for over a century easily like the high elf’s
Yeah. I always figured their king was dragon born. That’s why when they invaded the empire, they immediately stopped, bowed and retreated after the septum dragon shouted
I do love the parallels between the Imperial 10th legion being lost in a hostile land with false ambassadors, and the Roman 9th being lost in similar circumstances.

It's strange that with conquered islands being so close to Akavir. They did not first try to establish trade relations to gather intelligence on the continent.
Great video. So, the original idea for Skyrim was they were going to have Ureil Septum VII return, with a dragon army to reclaim his empire. Epic Nate has a video in it. Here's hoping ES6 uses this as the main quest line
I don't t think the three eastern Islands are owned by the emperor but Roscrea and some of Islands surrounding Tamriel is still owned by the Emperor but I could be wrong
Does make you wonder how and if Daedra influnce Akavir in some way. From what it sounds like every race from that part of the world are battle hardened beasts (Literally and figuratively) that really makes a lot of the Tamerialic Races seem infantile. Between the snow beasts of the Kamal, the serperent-like Tsacesi that may or may not literally ate all of the men that were there (As well as the dragons). The Ka-po-Tun and one of their leaders some how transcended into an actual Dragon that has aims to venture to Tamerial once they deal with their enemies. All these forces and factors could be exploited by the likes of Daedra Princes. Like I'm sure at least Molag Bal would consider exploiting atleast some of this violent and conquest-minded forces. The mad Monkies the Tang-Mo while great fighters if they really are as mad as the claims present them good ol Sheo could have some fun with those guys.
I'm pretty sure the Daedra invasion only affected Tamriel, not all of Nirn. Because the Amulet of Kings and the Dragonfires only really applied to Tamriel, not the surrounding areas. I'd also imagine the Thalmor from the Summerset Isles would've had more reports written about it. But even if Akavir was invaded by Dagon, I'd imagine it was very short-lived. The Daedra were routed by hist-sapped-up Argonians in Blackmarsh early into the invasion. I can only begin to imagine how poorly the Daedra would have fared against literally any race from Akavir.
Tsaesci are already the most terrifying race I’ve ever seen and heard about in TES Lore. For me, anyway. But IF they can, in fact, manipulate the weather against their enemies to a point where their enemy is suffering, I’m having a panic attack thinking about it😂😳
they probably just used the thum against the imperial army, nothing the greybeards can't teach you. truth be told, the emperor only lost because he was unprepared.
Dude this is crazy impressive and informative. I appreciate your research and hard-work and the quality of the video really shows that. I had trouble understanding some things before I watched this but with the map system you use showing the expansion and changes in land and territories is awesome and cleared so much up. I actually feel like I understand the invasion a bit better. Akavir is one of my favorite pieces of elder scrolls lore, it is so alien and mysterious and has crazy cool conflicts and unknown races. I really hope the next main game or another game in the series touches on this or makes Akavir a part of the story or even just a villain that is a Tsaesci or a million other ideas and story/lore possibilities with this beautiful piece of awesomeness.
Man, it's been fun watching you channel grow. I've been a regular viewer since 1,500 subs or so and I subbed at somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000. You've had a steady growth but you still definitely do get anywhere near the recognition you deserve.
If the empire had conquered that fourth island set first, then they could have hit the rest of that country from about any angle ( particularly using the three prong attack method ), and break them down to being rather easily conquered.
This map isn't canon it's fan made the actual legit Akavir might not have that forth island...Plus we have no idea what the terrain of said islands are if they even could be fortified and livable in order to stage the campaign from.
@@flamesofchaos13 the map isn't canon? Crap, wish I knew that beforehand. Plus wouldn't any of the canon about akavir be not canon if their is not an official map to go off of?
@@jyrikgaulderson6351 Yeah we literally have no idea what Akavir looks like at all just vague understandings of the geography. So yeah the canon is nothing/unknown as of now.
Knowing one's climate and weather patterns is a good advantage in defense against a foreign invading force is one thing, but being able to alter it to one's favor and plan around it. It would really make the Tsacesi quite the force to be reckoned with, I wouldn't be surprised they have that, who knows what practices they have that could make Tameriel's head spin in comparison.
The two soldiers that managed to escape and regroup with the 14th legion were tseiesi shapeshifters, who went with the legion as spies, so that they may relay the information back to conquer tamriel.
@@noobdodarksouls9699 At what cost Imperial at what cost?! Talos? Your OWN Founder of the Empire? Nordic Traditions? Humanity's Spirit and Soul? Nope the Empire won't save Skyrim only prolong it's misery and fall...The Empire will die it's only a matter of time! So you better start hailing the Dominion before it's too late! Or hope the Dunmer get their act together and Great House Redoran creates the Greater Morrowind Empire to restore peace and order to Tamriel! Either way the time of Man is over and the return of Mer Rule is nigh!
@@conall1916 Believe me Brother I'm no Mer-Lover BUT the winds are indeed blowing a certain way...We'll have to lay low and plan an uprising from within the Dominion in order to destroy it. Just like St. Alessia did to the fucking Ayleid Empire! Afterwords a 4th Human Empire must be established to restore true divine peace across Tamriel. (However if we can't do that then the Dunmer are better rulers then the Altmer.)
Damn winter damn you! Also emperor could have pulled of an defeat in detail again the large force but then again they had no info about it so then they could have used a fake retreat
I wonder if the Empire held on to the islands east of Tamriel? Did separate races of men live there? My guess is that Tsaesci looks like Japan or China and that the men there resemble East Asians, but that the snake men exist as well
Given the name of the continent and thousands of years exposure to dragon cultures, it’s not far fetched the Tsaesci and other people have more advanced magical abilities; enough to change weather at will to hinder Imperial’s ability to supply their overseas forces. Crucial example is a Dragonborn having the Clear skies and Storm call Thu’um. Their ability to randomly change weather patterns between Tamirel and Akavir might be the reason no know knows about it and loved tales about it.
I would love to see a game on the east coast of Tamriel where you could set sale to akavir, maybe have that be the under hard dlc for later. Could find the ruins of septimia and ionith
Yeah would be cool but highly unlikely they would do ALL of the provinces of Tamriel first before they even touch Akavir. So we probably wouldn't be alive at that time seeing how long Bethesda takes between titles.
Considering how Nulfaga created a storm in the Iliac Bay at the beginning of Daggerfall, I would think the weather in this war was also synthetic. Then again, Daggerfall gets retconned from time to time.
My own headcannon is that my dragon born who i roleplayed as a decendant of uriel vii takes the throne fucks up ulfric and the thalmor then conqures akavier and avenges uriel v
Yeah it's because the Snakes CONTROL the weather...Meaning they have better magic then the Imperials. They never stood a chance unknown lands, unknown enemy tactics, low on resources, numbers were more then likely way way less then the enemies. Plus remember this is ONLY the first people/nation on Akavir...Snow Demons, Giant Tigers lead by a Dragon, A shit load of monkey people on islands are what waited next. The Imperials couldn't of prepared for that. The Snow Demons and Tiger would crush the legions in an open field battle then the dragon would burn them from above and the monkeys would fuck them up guerrilla style that we see they had trouble dealing with already from the snakes.
@@flamesofchaos13 Yeah i guess, Akavir is most likely impossible to conquer. I wonder though how it turn out if the imperials sent a even larger army if they had enough resources for it. Like a huge chunk of man power from each province on Tamriel. Also it would be great if the emperor was a dragon born who could change the weather with just a shout while also bringing with him some loyal dragons
@@samuelbabic9441 Dragons were few very few and pretty sure the Empire wouldn't have access to any at the time. As for a Dragonborn Emperor yeah that would probably of helped but if the Snakes just keep changing it back he'd have to continuously keep shouting it back, So I don't think it'd work completely well given he'd have to stop and realize it isn't working permanently plus he could use better shouts in combat to get an edge instead. As for more manpower who knows we don't know how big the populations of the Akaviri races are in order to compare.
@@jeffreysamson5938 Yep good point. But there's two things to note though...They're allies to the Tigers meaning they wouldn't have to worry about them only the Snakes and Demons and they live on an island chain meaning their territory is probably difficult to siege if none of the other nations have a navy. Besides that I'm guessing they have the numbers and either great guerrilla warfare skills or great diplomatic skills.
Uriel V's invasion was doomed from the start i believe. his attempt to bring his talosion bubble of reality onto the realitie(s) of akavir was misguided but ambitious. i believe akavir has no need of talos or dragonborn and he was repelled rightly so. as for the book it provides a lengthy and descriptive account with hints of what could be akavir in the future...
If the original draft of Skyrim, with Uriel Septim V came back from Akavir to take over the empire with an army of dragons ended up being used. I think he would have been left for dead simply put, he was wounded or unconcious & laid low for a while. Once he regained his senses he ran and hid from the Tsaeci, until he found the land of the Ka Po' Tun. In that land he was able to strike a deal with the tiger-dragon people leader. According to the book Mysterious Akavir, their leader Tosh Raka was the first to be able to turn into a dragon. With time I think a lot of soldiers would be able to do it aswell. My headcannon is that those dragons were supposed to be Ka Po' Tun soldiers who are able to turn into dragons. I also like to think that the Nerevarine also is in service of the Ka Po' Tun leader, but that's a story for another time.
I can’t get over the fact that they had a natural choke point which they built a fortress on and as such they decided to make a base further back instead of garrisoning most of the army at the choke point into the rest of akavir
Good question, actually. Probably yes, because it would seem logical for the Daedra to attack all of Nirn. The daedra hate Mundus entirely, not just Tamriel ( I think they attack Mundus because they're jealous of the Gods that made it, but since there is life on Nirn only, they attack only it ). So I think they have attacked Akavir, but its people manage to repell the invasion far more easily. But since we have no informations on this subject, so I can't really argue on it. Hope we'll have informations on it.
Why would the Dominion care about taking over Skyrim there's nothing to gain at all! At best they'll simply sack it destroy the rebels and the belief in Talos then go back to Alinor. The Argonians have zero interest in conquering Morrowind or any lands outside Argonia they simply attacked before for revenge against the Dunmer for hundreds of years of slavery. Also they were under the leadership of a xenophobic-nationalist group back then who's no longer in charge...We even know the Argonians are no longer political enemies of the Dunmer you even have orphaned Dunmer children who were raised by Ex-Argonian soldiers after the war. The tensions are over they have no reason to invade or conquer Morrowind again. Here's my guess on conflicts that could happen.... Hammerfell Vs Aldmeri Dominion, Hammerfell Civil War (Political Schisms), High Rock Civil War (Rebellion against the Empire to become Independent, Or a Regime change by an High Rock Nobility Warlord becoming a New Emperor dividing the Empire in half), The Great War 2 (Two Empire's one Imperial Vs the other Breton Vs Aldmeri Dominion Vs Morrowind Great House Redoran/Sadras Vs Hammerfell). We could even possibly see a Civil War in Alinor between the Thalmor Vs Altmer/Bosmer Royalty Vs Psijic Order. Then of course an Akaviri Invasion is always on the table and a Daedric threat too.
@@chaningdodson4245 In Skyrim they again remind us the Tiger-Dragons long term plans are to take out the Vampire-Snakes then Invade Tamriel. So yeah nope it's coming the only question is when? I could easily also see the Second Great War changing the entirety of Tamriel Politics and for Jyggalag being a Daedric Prince with territorial gains in mind. Anyway the conflicts of Hammerfell Vs Dominion and Empire Vs Dominion are definitely coming if nothing else.
@@flamesofchaos13 that's why I say they will try an take skyrim, an push the empire back to the imperial city. Especially with the imporor having been assassinated by the dark brotherhood, an if we do see the tiger people all hell will break loose over the rumors of one of them having been able to transform into a fucking dragon
The dominion is weaker than it was than in the first great war, meanwhile the empire is not only stronger, but more prepared. Also it is canon that the Imperials win (if you pick the storm cloaks then Skyrim just gets invaded by an actual legion after the avalanche is cleared.) So Skyrim being invaded by anyone is a very low chance, espec since the Dominon is not where near it. If anything a cold war will happen and it may be like SWTOR where you can choose a side but no true victor occurs because the outer invaders come through and they unite.
I love Elderscrolls lore and I love Akavir but the trope of "Mysterious Distant Lands That Always Invade and Barely Lose Anything, Meanwhile We Are Steamrolled No Matter What We Do Because Mysterious Distant Lands Are Just So Mysterious and Deadly" Is possibly the least fun or intriguing trope I've ever seen. The Kamal fucked up Northern Tamriel heavily and the Saesci only stopped because Dragonborn Emporer Reman Cyrodiil showed up. It's so boring learning about how hopeless it is for Tamriel to really do anything to or about Akavir. Akaviri kingdoms invade = Tamriel gets fucked. Tamriel invade = Tamriel gets fucked. I think Akavir would have so much more appeal to me if Bethesda had Uriel Septim V come back as the one returning dragons to Tamriel from Akavir instead of Alduin. TL;DR: Akavir is boringly overpowered because it's MysteriousTM and I don't like it
We shouldn't forget the Akaviri had far more exposure to dragons than the tamrielic people. So yeah, them knowing Thu'um and using it to control the weather doesn't seem unlikely at all.
Akavir literally means Dragon Land. So yeah, your right.
On top of the fact it takes decades for non dragon borns to master the Thuum depending on the user and shout but some races on Akavir can live for over a century easily like the high elf’s
@@aceclover758 true so they could definitely have time to master it. Shit, for all we know, they have an army of snake people that can use the thu’um
Yeah. I always figured their king was dragon born. That’s why when they invaded the empire, they immediately stopped, bowed and retreated after the septum dragon shouted
@@loganpruitt7344 this makes a lot of sense tbh
If you win large chunks of territory without large combat and real decisive victories, fear where the armies might be hiding
If there is one thing I learned from grand strategy games it's to never stop pushing, you never know what they hide behind those borders...
last time I was this early Lorkhan was still alive
Clear Sky? What about Storm Call that literally brings in a lightning rain storm?!
And the shout Alduin uses in Sovngarde to bring the fog back in
The Akavir Invasion is very, VERY reminiscent of Julius Caesar’s invasion of Britain. Not everything is the same, but the small references are there.
I do love the parallels between the Imperial 10th legion being lost in a hostile land with false ambassadors, and the Roman 9th being lost in similar circumstances.

Yes, from the books: Report: Disaster at Ionith and Mysterious Akavir I believe
just thought i should point out that the thu’um isn’t magic
7:39 I guess you could say the winter turned out to be way more... Aka-severe, amirite guys?
is akavir get attack when oblivion crisis happen?
Good question, actually. Probably yes, because it would seem logical for the Daedra to attack all of Nirn. The daedra hate Mundus entirely, not just Tamriel ( I think they attack Mundus because they're jealous of the Gods that made it, but since there is life on Nirn only, they attack only it ). So I think they have attacked Akavir, but its people manage to repell the invasion far more easily. But since we have no informations on this subject, so I can't really argue on it. Hope we'll have informations on it.
Crassus' ego got the better of him.
If they would've landed on the large island just off the coast they could've done better
Hello friends
That fan-made map is even worse from worldcon perspective than tamriel, impressive
I hope they reuse the plot of urial V surviving and coming back to retake his throne.
Because of your profile pic, I must respond to your comment with "gregg rulz ok".
ES6 should be in akavir.
The dominion will definitely be trying to take skyrim, an argonia will be trying to take morrowind for tes 6 is what I predict
Why would the Dominion care about taking over Skyrim there's nothing to gain at all! At best they'll simply sack it destroy the rebels and the belief in Talos then go back to Alinor. The Argonians have zero interest in conquering Morrowind or any lands outside Argonia they simply attacked before for revenge against the Dunmer for hundreds of years of slavery. Also they were under the leadership of a xenophobic-nationalist group back then who's no longer in charge...We even know the Argonians are no longer political enemies of the Dunmer you even have orphaned Dunmer children who were raised by Ex-Argonian soldiers after the war. The tensions are over they have no reason to invade or conquer Morrowind again.
Here's my guess on conflicts that could happen....
Hammerfell Vs Aldmeri Dominion, Hammerfell Civil War (Political Schisms), High Rock Civil War (Rebellion against the Empire to become Independent, Or a Regime change by an High Rock Nobility Warlord becoming a New Emperor dividing the Empire in half), The Great War 2 (Two Empire's one Imperial Vs the other Breton Vs Aldmeri Dominion Vs Morrowind Great House Redoran/Sadras Vs Hammerfell). We could even possibly see a Civil War in Alinor between the Thalmor Vs Altmer/Bosmer Royalty Vs Psijic Order. Then of course an Akaviri Invasion is always on the table and a Daedric threat too.
@@flamesofchaos13 I dont really see anything coming from akavir, but I'm curious to see what happens now
@@chaningdodson4245 In Skyrim they again remind us the Tiger-Dragons long term plans are to take out the Vampire-Snakes then Invade Tamriel. So yeah nope it's coming the only question is when? I could easily also see the Second Great War changing the entirety of Tamriel Politics and for Jyggalag being a Daedric Prince with territorial gains in mind. Anyway the conflicts of Hammerfell Vs Dominion and Empire Vs Dominion are definitely coming if nothing else.
@@flamesofchaos13 that's why I say they will try an take skyrim, an push the empire back to the imperial city. Especially with the imporor having been assassinated by the dark brotherhood, an if we do see the tiger people all hell will break loose over the rumors of one of them having been able to transform into a fucking dragon
The dominion is weaker than it was than in the first great war, meanwhile the empire is not only stronger, but more prepared. Also it is canon that the Imperials win (if you pick the storm cloaks then Skyrim just gets invaded by an actual legion after the avalanche is cleared.) So Skyrim being invaded by anyone is a very low chance, espec since the Dominon is not where near it. If anything a cold war will happen and it may be like SWTOR where you can choose a side but no true victor occurs because the outer invaders come through and they unite.
I love Elderscrolls lore and I love Akavir but the trope of "Mysterious Distant Lands That Always Invade and Barely Lose Anything, Meanwhile We Are Steamrolled No Matter What We Do Because Mysterious Distant Lands Are Just So Mysterious and Deadly" Is possibly the least fun or intriguing trope I've ever seen. The Kamal fucked up Northern Tamriel heavily and the Saesci only stopped because Dragonborn Emporer Reman Cyrodiil showed up. It's so boring learning about how hopeless it is for Tamriel to really do anything to or about Akavir. Akaviri kingdoms invade = Tamriel gets fucked. Tamriel invade = Tamriel gets fucked. I think Akavir would have so much more appeal to me if Bethesda had Uriel Septim V come back as the one returning dragons to Tamriel from Akavir instead of Alduin.
TL;DR: Akavir is boringly overpowered because it's MysteriousTM and I don't like it
Wish you kept the same pronunciation as in the original video, Tsa-ess-key. Fuck that say-see shit.
Uwu yay
I'm guessing that this was the most racially and genderly diverse army established by the empire/Legion in its entire history
