The Elder Scrolls Lore: Alessia, Morihaus, and Belharza

- Alessia, who went by many titles, Slave-Queen Alessia, Paravania, and Pevesh to name a few, was a Nedic slave woman in the first era, who was able to overthrow her Ayleid overlords and end human slavery in Cyrodiil. She had become the first Empress and ruler, and had established what is today known as the 8 divines. This video covers her, as well as her demigod lover Morihaus, their son Belharza, as well as a bit on the Alessian Order who reigned supreme for centuries after her death.
~This video was originally only going to be about Alessia, however Morihaus and their son do not have enough lore to cover for individual videos so I have decided to include them both in this one! The Alessian Order I briefly touch on in this video, however since they have a wide pool of lore, I will save them more for a separate video in the future.

REEEEEEMAAAANN.
“Pelinal calm down!”
Imagine being so out ofnyour mind you perceive time as it really was in that universe. You would freak out too lol
@Tobias Roeuth Alessia: Kynareth please sooth the anger of Pelinal before he slays every living thing.
Morihuas: Uncle calm thy rage.
Khajiit: STOP KILLING US!!! WE ARE NOT ELVES!!!
Sheogorath: DAMN and people say i am crazy.
He also a shezarine lorkhan my man shor buddy who hurt u did an elf kill u or something in one of ur past lives
@@stevengreen9536 hey hey don't use my name in vane im still the craziest god this world has ever seen why event of shivering isles for more info
@@jasonarcand1871 Everybody knows about uncle Sheo especically from the lore books. Pelinal could never hope to match him madness wise. But when enraged Pelinal reached a state of what could only be described as genocidal homicidal psychosis. Which i doubt even Sheogorath has ever felt.
Ahahahaha reminds me of my lil sis first time playing Skyrim. She names her character Alessia...only to find a book about alessia in whiterun...she thought the game recognize her character she is so happy!
Soo adorable
That's adorable
Awwww, that's so cute.
"I will not deny her the heads of kings" Pelinal Whitestrike
L
I can only imagine the mental gymnastics the Alessian Order went through when shit talking their messiah's half- minotaur son, who is also supposed to be the grandson of a divine.
Never underestimate the mental gymnastics of a fanatic cult
"His ears are vaguely pointy, so he's an elf!"
@@badjuju8624 remember when pelinial massacred khajits because he thought they were elves, I guess they had pointy ears too. lol
@@Zhar06 yeah the human appering ones acctualy do have pointy ears, ohmes they are called
@coomie Well that is what happens when the founder of a faith dies and disagreements over doctrine create schisms and factions. :P
I watch a lot of Elder Scrolls Lore stuff but you’re videos I like with the awesome artwork you feature in it keep it up
I love Alessia so much. She was not only a great general but also a great diplomat. She knew when force was needed and when diplomacy was needed.
And just to make it worse, Belharza's throne seems to be stuck down in storage. That's my personal explanation for the giant things you find during the Thieves' Guild quest.
i recall there being a giant hour glass
Ah...So that's what the giant chair is all about. I always thought that it's some magic experiment gone wrong
The reason morihaus calls pelinal his uncle and pelinal calls him nephew is because pelinal was the combination aspect of lorkhan and akatosh. They were united in opinion that the humans should be freed from elves and their cruelty. And thus visited upon them with an equally if not more cruel manifestation of their anger. Lorkhan the heartless as pelinal was described to not have a heart but a crystal of pure hate in his chest, and time manipulation as he traversed through time to free the nedic peoples. He also reportedly had the ability of the thuum which is aedric tonal architecture basically that all of the aedra can wield.
Holy shit 😳
I watch you watching me watching back
How did both aspects end up merging?
@@nbmoleminer5051 gods in TES lore are able to create lesser aspects like thay. Of lorkhan and akatosh agree on something, it manifests itself as an independent being that has a nigh single minded goal. And because of its nature being contradictory, is almost always insane.
I was just starting to think "oh, Alessia seems cool" and then she diddled a bull man.
I'm just confused as to how a demigod minotaur and human can have healthy children but the beast races can't reproduce with men or mer.
@@zeche8477
He might not have been a bull man, he could have just been a huge powerful man who had horns on his armor, and over the years this lead him to becoming mythical.
@@the_dropbear4392 This is probably true. It doesn't make any sense to me that Kyne would have a minotaur son and like @Tom John said the beast races can't reproduce with men or mer.
@@ajsouza3720 yeah
He's a demigod u gotta make exceptions for divinity.
The Minotaurs fighting alongside the Empire again would be glorious.
Videos I’d love to see include, but not limited to: Maormer, Reachmen, Goblin-ken, Harpies, etc...
Harpies are a thing in Tamriel?
Dang... hide your kids folks.
It takes talent to take some of the most convoluted and difficult to follow lore in the entirety of TES and make it easy to follow and entertaining. Clearly it's talent you have, well done!
Alright, something incredible happend.
After playing the amazing mod Vigilant, I was left with many questions regarding TES lore. Who was Alessia, Pelinal, Morihaus and all those legendary figures, what was the Alessian Order and why were they so powerful?
I found your channel by accident, and I'm glad I did. Your videos are great, far beyond the quality you would expect from most channels. All my questions were given an answer and I felt closer to Godd Howard.
Yet, something else happend, I fell in love with the music you use in your videos, this one in particular. "Wrechted Weaponry" is a theme that moved me, I don't know how or why, but it truly cautivated me. This lead me to getting interested in Nier: Automata, and I eventually played it... I'll never experience anything like it again. That game completely blew my mind (I'm still recovering from the emotional rollercoaster), and it wouldn't have done so if I hadn't come to this channel, looking for TES lore...
My point is, I have to thank you, Lady of Scrolls, both for aiding me in my search for lore, and for indirectly introducing me to a game and music that I'll always carry with me. Thank you.
I'm currently playing through Vigilant and was super confused as to what was going on. I was told to hit the Vigilant of Stendar with a spinning needle and that transported me straight into Coldharbour with no explanation. Apparently I skipped like half the quest and am way over-powered for the boss fights, but the mod is crafted so well that I don't care.
At least thanks to Lady Scrolls, I kind of understand Pelinal and Alessia
@@legitimatemedicine See if you can go back. The spinning needle is a newer addition to prep for Glenmoril.
@@GandhiTheGodOfWar I'll do it properly in my next playthrough. I'm already like 15 hours in
@@legitimatemedicine The needle is added for people who want to skip the first few parts. It's meant for repeat playthroughs, not what should be considered "canon" to the mod. Lorewise, it's Hermaeus Mora lending you a hand and saying 'let's not waste time with Molag Bal's crap.'
The Vicn Trilogy is better than the actual main plot.
Vigilant is actually the weakest when it comes to plot in the trilogy. And it's still great.
The Alessian Era in a nutshell: "Calm DOWN Pelinal!"
No let the man vent
The mythology of the Elder Scrolls 'verse is so incredibly rich!
I know
Hears Amulet of Kings
*Mannimarco triggered*
wHEre iS ThE AmULEt oF kINGs???
The artwork works so well with the storytelling.
2:29 that is one of the most beautiful works of art I have seen in a while. Looks damn near photographic.
Using Wretched Automatons soundtrack from Nier Automata as an opening theme? Subscribed
ysmir beard your a good storyteller
Great video on Alessia, Morihaus & Belharza, the visuals used and the musical score for the video all tied in-together for a really good video.
Outstanding work as always, would love to see a potential video on The Knights of the Nine and the War of the Red Diamond.
Awesome video. Would you do a video on Nocturnal soon? I very much hope you do :)
An elder scrolls game when the Alessian Order was around would be like, an ungodly cool game.
Have you tried vigilant? it might suit your skyrim adventure.
I think a game after the rebellion but before the order would be better
Very well done. And the music: beautiful. I can't wait till you get to Argonian lore, well what little there is. And I hope we get to see, or at least learn more about the Tsaici in ES6. One side note, but if your interested maybe a beastiary of sorts could be made into a few videos. Ones that cover the creatures native to certain provinces. These could incorporate, habitats, diets, and some legends, myths, or stories of some of the more prominent or interesting species.
Just got the notification and clicked on the video.
outstanding work as always.
I love this channel from art to music that you find,keep up the good work. ;)
Great lore
Great Pictures
Great music
As always 😁
I misheard her names at first.
"... and other sh*t." 1:40 😄
lmao how did i not hear this, i apologize for the fowl language friend, the correct word is Aleshut, forever now Alessia's nickname will be "other shit"
@@ladyofscrolls4598 forever? 😳
We cant do that. She's a saint 😌
TSOT - That Saint Over There :D
Another great video Lady...your choice of music is spot on by the way. And the accompanying visuals to your narration...can’t ask for better than this. I’m a big lore buff so I am INTO the obscure. Can’t wait for more.
I Really love your videos they are just so sothing and infomative
Its great so please keep op the good work
Outstanding detail! Very well presented with great illustrations and narrations. Thank you!
You should totally start a Let’s play of your favorite Elder Scrolls game!
Beautiful work Love your choice of art and music You give me a similar vibe as the NEWEARTH channel you may appreciate her work Thanks again Tamrielic lore is full of much wonder and thought
Always looking for more Elder Scrolls lore, thanks for this! :)
This helps to make some sense for past events relived in the mod of VIGILANT
Periff is among the most incredible characters in Elder Scrolls.
So many sources. .-.
Im glad you go through all of that lore so we don't have to.
Well most of us anyway this just makes me want to read it more!
Pelinal's arrival I feel like would be sorta like someone being invited to a multiplayer game, Morihaus screaming like an excited toddler because his best boy, Uncle Pen, is coming down to kill dirty elves with him and the giddy bull's new utterly confused bae who is just wondering who the hell this bloody knight-lookin' asshole is while Pelinal just stands there silent and breathing mad like the insane emo teen he is.
Alessia the slave queen and her two companions: shouting bullman and DEUS VULT
I love the lore behind The Alessian Slave Rebellion and how Alessia created The Amulet of Kings and The first Empire of men. Morihaus has some intresting lore too with he esentially creating the race of Minotaur's.
I never imagined Morihaus as an actual Bull/Minotaur. I always thought he was just a human with a bull motiff on his armor/shield.
I'm interested where the images came from, some are good enough to put on a wall at home.
It’s the small things you don’t hear too often in the games (unless DLC) that seem to have huge elaborate stories. I am looking at you oblivion
Perfect music choice as always
Alessia is hands down the most fascinating person in ES lore.
I love that Reman Cyrodill looks like Russell Crowe.
I've been suscribed to your channel since a few weeks and I just finished watching your TES lore episodes. Amazing and original content!
Before I only watched TES and Fallout lore on the Shoddycast channel. Your videos are a nice changeup after having rewatched all their lore videos for the third time over. You have gained a new loyal subscriber for sure!
I have a few suggestions though. I like listning to your videos and dozing off while trying to sleep. However, in my opinion it would be easier to listnen to if you spoke a little slower. It would also feel a little less rushed. Also, maybe it's a good idea to create a more storyline/timeline based lore series. This might make your audience more invested in your show, and more eager to see your next episode. These are just my own personal thoughts though.
Again, great work. Keep it up please!
Wow I think this is my favorite lore channel now thank you so much!!!! I LOVE the music you use
This channel needs more subs.
4:10 - she had a body to die for ❤️🔥
Beautiful vid! Keep up the lovely work!
She's pretty much a non-ruined version of Daenarys
Vigilant is the reason i know about these characters
Me too😅😅😅
Lady of Scrolls is the best Elder Scrolls lore teller. Praise be.
7:13: the reason why I made a headcanon lore about Drows being descendants of surviving Ayleids who fled deep underground when I play Skyrim with a Drow(basically altmer with pitch black skin and white hair) race mod.
Best Elder Scrolls Lore content on TH-cam
We out here gettin notifications!
Aaaand that is my friend
One of the best narrators
Can you create audio books mod for skyrim?
Create your own books and scripts
That would be totally awesome
I'll have to look up that song sometime.
Very well done!
Not related, but the music made me try NieR Automata and I finished today. It was worth every damn second. Thank you very much!!!
Great as always
Too bad the wackier elements that Kirkbride infused into the lore like Morihaus & Pelinal dont make an appearance in modern tes
some quests in eso mention them but thats all.Mod Vigilant for skyrim brings all this lore toblife
@@lop90ful1 vigilant also rips up all the lore on bal
@@the_dropbear4392 how come?
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646
Molag bal dying, him begin a bard in love with princess (Lamae) and when he could be with her he raped her and became molag bal.
That's just wrong, molag can't die, none of the daedra can. And Lamae was a priestess not princess, and molag was always a daedric prince, not some bard, and he raped her to create vampires as she was a priestess of arkay and he wanted to spite arkay.
The whole thing with a fake amulet of kings that the order had.
I think there should be a spin-off game in black marsh and the Blackwater region of cyrodiil that takes place before any of the Elder Scrolls games and has reference to the first empire's culture in the region
Wasn't Pelinals battle with Umaril rather one sided? I thought I read that Umaril sent his entire army at him just to slow him down, and even wounded and tired Pelinal took him out.
it was
Yeah even though an entire army if elves with weapons that pierced pelenials armor had fought him, pelenial still stomped umrial
pelenial is the elder scrolls version of doomguy almost nothing can stop him
Pretty much
Think of this as Achilles vs Hector. Our cyborg elf slaying knight was divine in origin and had the bloodlust to slay armies but umiril was like Hector a prince and slayer of men it was one sided which made it even stranger that he did stand his ground against whitestrake (for every great hero there needs to be a great villian)
I love your videos keep them up💙
I love the lore on Saint Alessia. The Alessian empire is an amazing chapter in Tamrielic history.
the mod "Vigilant" brought me here. i was not disappointed
Me too 😅
When they say "Akatosh might have been present".
In what way? Spiritually? Or pretty physical looking like meeting Sheogorath or Nocturnal? Wasn't it when the Aedra created Nirn they gave up most of their power and pretty much became dormant planets. That only intervene in small and subtle ways??
I think they are mostly dormant and intervene in subtle ways. Akatosh' intervention during the Oblivion crisis was an exception I think, and mostly due to the power of the Amulet in the hands of an heir to the throne
@@verav.6424 Akatosh intervened only because Martin shattered the Amulet of Kings which had all the Emperor's souls. Not to mention it was a massive middle finger to Akatosh to do so.
Will you do a video on what you want in the elderscrolls 6 or just what you think will be nice? I came here via emperial knowledge btw.
Best TES lore videos ever.
I miss you, Lady of Scrolls.
This was awesome. Thank you
Currently running a mage named Morihaus Ravencrone. Son of mystic jarl and visionary Igrod Ravencrone. He considers himself protector of Morthal and resides in Winstad Manor.
Paravant will become a star... I will never forget how her eyes burned like meteors
Do you think you could eventually make a video on the tribunal members or The Nightingales
Nicely done, new sub earned easily.
1108 views, 0 downvotes. Well deserved.
How about a Video about Shor and the theory that the Dovahkiin is an aspect of him ? 😄
Eadric Robertson well, since you are replying to a nearly 1 year old post I still gonna have to point out that I referred to a „Theory“ on which Roshank Redemption made an interesting video about a long time ago.
Check it out.
i was waiting for this
Oh my god that voice
Alright, found my new favorite night videos
Awesome video!
So excited!!
As a Nord Paladin of St Alessia in my last Skyrim playthrough (thanks to the Wintersun religion mod and also Vigilant) I did my best to follow the Alessian Orders doctrine as the game allowed me, oh and I also slaughtered every High Elf/Thalmor I saw
I am satisfied.. But then... I want more
People if youtube..
Carry her words to every elder scrolls fan you know, make her videos triumph with millions of view, so she make more damn it i can't wait till the other one
I wish they'd make a proper game about the Thrassian plague and the Alessian Order. And no, the "Vigilant" mod doesn't count. That's just Dark Souls with a TES label on it.
Imagine if they made a game in western Black marsh and the blackwater region of cyrodiil during the first empire when or before the Alessian order took power or during the second empire
I mean you’re not wrong about the vigilant thing, but it’s the best we’ve got right now.
@@Brownieval That is far from encouraging...
@@MCPunk55 yeah... I know, sorry.
@@Brownieval For what? You did nothing wrong.
It would be cool if Morihuas is part of the story in Elder Scrolls 6 or gets gets his own DLC. :)
Play the vigilant mod on skyrim, he os one of very many bosses you fight. It has alot to do will all of these characters like st. Alessia
@@threadworm437 I think i saw a video on that mod. Idk if i have enough space on my console hard drive or if it is available.But i will give it a try if i can.
Love the Nier Automata reference. Quite appropriate too.
Ah Alessia, the Third best of the Dragonborn beginners of Cyrodiilic human empires.
My theory is that Morihaus Breath-of-Kyne was a Nord of Skyrim, with horns on his helmet. I know the Elder Scrolls can get really weird with its lore but this just seems to add up.
That doesn't explain their child Belharza, though.
I find it interesting how ESO lore combines tropes from both the Bible and the Illiad.
17:19 I think the history records had to say it was Akatosh to appease the elves, but I’m convinced that god that blessed and supported Alessia and her rebellion was actually Shor. That plus Pelinal is supposedly his avatar
I like the video already after hearing Nier Automota ost in the beginning.
Alessia was visited by both Akatosh and Shezarr before her ascension to godhood.
Saint Alessia is my chosen Saint. All hail the breaker of chains!
But wasnt Martin sealing of oblivion temporary? Barbas, sanguinne and hermaeus mora all manifested phisically on nirn during skyrim and Sheogorath did the same in blades, the seals are weakening or broken now. I hope they expand on this in the next game.
Martin stopped the armies of mehrunes dagon from invading cyrodil from portals to dagons plane of oblivion not all daedric gods
@@gavinfuhs6702 yes, but they shouldnt be able to enter because of Alessia covenant with akatosh, the barrier between mundus and oblivion seem to be awakening and we don't have the amulet of kings to light the dragonfires.
Barbas has always been different when it comes to the laws of Daedra in nirn, he outright ignores them. Maybe when he was created vile tied barbas essence to nirn.
All the others only appear near artifacts, and aren't actually physically manifesting
@@the_dropbear4392 you literally have a drinking game with sanguinne and theres no artifact involved when shogorath decided to take a stroll in the character home village in blades. I agree with the barbas point tough.
Why does Alessia look like she was a princess all her life? As a slave woman, she probably wouldn't have any of that fancy stuff, and I doubt a life of servitude did her figure any favors.
how awsome a movie this story would make
I love ur lore video
You know I was just in discussion with some guy how allot of nier: Automata music sounds like its pretty much copied from Origa, and after listening to some of her music I clicked on this video and I thought I clicked on an Origa video by mistake... Inner Universe is still beautiful.
When the amulet of kings- a divinely modified soul gem- was shattered... does it mean her soul went to the soul cairn?!
Can you do a video on The Alessian Order?? They're a complete subversion of Alessia's original ideas.
Awww yeaaaa new videoooo
keep it up!
