Vivec needs to make his mind up. Either levitate or don’t.
"Float or stand. Vivec tries to be all things."
Morrowind Vivec is enough to drive you crazy. Thank the Three they had him make a decision in ESO. (Levitate, because of course levitate.)
I just wish he would put on pants.
It’s the goldly version of shifting in your bed.
It would be great if he only cycled through the animation for dialogue
They really did just give the dark elves ALL the lore didn't they
It's almost like the Dunmer are their own thing. They're Elder Scrolls but somehow also Elder Scrolls adjacent. By and large, I'm not overly enthralled by the wider Elder Scrolls lore, but I could read about Morrowind - especially Tribunal-era Morrowind - all day.
Yea, just a little bit more that the other races
Because When they wrote Morrowind they went all out on the weirdness and how to make it seem as a passable setting. The rest of the games lack the weirdness barring a few places like Shivering isles in Oblivion.
Different writers. Not commercial enough. Keep it simple and you will sell. The art form Bethesda raised their games to didn't last, money is needed, don't forget Daggerfall and Morrowind almost ruined them and allowed Robert Altman in to oust Chris so as to regear them to massive success that now needed modders to make it a Morrowind.
yiasemi didn’t Morrowind save Beth from bankruptcy?
FudgeMuppet should do a "Last Bouyant Armiger" build for Skyrim. Make him/her and old mad Dunmer clinging to the hope that Vivec still lives.
Who fully believes Vivek is talking to him through dreams but also questioning if he is crazy, but he doesn't know for sure because he is mostly normal except for that, the contradiction of insanity
Isn't there a chance that he is alive? In lore he is never said to be killed, just missing
@@Standstudios671 he is both alive and dead
@@shadowbanned1999 so nothing has changed and hes probably just sitting in a cave somewhere waiting for the world to end
Combining this idea with what Scott said at the end of the video, you could have a character who isn't an old, mad dunmer, but a younger one who learns of the legends of the heroic Buoyant Armigers, sees the sad and morose state their people are in, and takes up the mantle.
i’m truly amazed after all these years you’re still holding strong with this channel and doing lore
ES lore is timeless
Oh this is but the beginning Jacob....Trust Me, it's only the foundation for what lore that will be following Elder Elder Scroll's 6.
TheSlotVampire _E.T-1 when ES6 comes out, their vids are getting at least a mil a pop
@@bigboy2782 I truly cannot wait to see this channel that I’ve watched for all these years _finally_ hit that millionth subscriber, and I think TES VI is just gonna shoot them above that number big time. If anyone deserves it, Michael, Drew, and Scott, most certainly do.
That's what I love about the elder scrolls lore. Even with years and years of work on this channel, they really are only getting started!!!!
I don’t have anything insightful to say.... just that I like that Vivec, who is blue and yellow, has green minions. Feels fitting.
💛💚💙
Without this comment I would have gone my whole life without realizing this neat little detail lol.
I always saw the “levitating” animation as a symbol of Vivec’s power, but also a sign that he was losing his power.
That's a good way of looking at it.
This is embarrassing to admit. As an AVID lover of Morrowind, frequently claiming its my favorite game of all time. I JUST realized why their called the Almsivi.
ALM - Almalexia
SI - Sotha Sil
VI - Vivec
Thanks, now I feel stupid as well.
Wow I feel like so much just clicked
The ending of the words is ALMSIVI
This blows my mind lol
that is embarrassing
I wish ESO did more with the Armigers. Vivec was losing his divinity in one of the ESO chapters and they were hardly involved in the plot. However, I do remember an interesting Armiger who is feeding off Work Cultists after being cursed with vampirism.
I’m actually a mod author primarily for the ps4 and I just want to say this channel is so amazing and has helped me out on so many different ideas for mods.
Thank PS4 mod author thank you
Thank you sir or maam
Actually, this gives perfect context to the project I'm working on; rewriting all 36 Lessons in Daedric and with calligraphy brushes.
Thanks a ton!
Cool, anywhere we can see the finished project?
I would buy that
Still love seeing that guy mess up his magic and fling himself into the air at the beginning of the game.
"Aieee!" The last nobel words of Tarhiel.
Jumping is the best locomotion
Same
I’ve never played a single ES game and I am living this channel and the lore stuff. So learning about the random canon and non canon lore literally is the most geeky thing I’ve done. The only issue I have is remembering the character and place names, so my retelling goes something like “so there was a bad dragon that was thrown forward from a dragon break that cause by the dwellmer’s machine thing and a heart thing but then a powerful mage horacrux life source thingy. Well that really threw a ratchet in the thing...”
All I can say is play, I hope your circumstances allow you to. May your arms be bouyant, your spear mightier than Molag's, Bal's and all.
Maps are a huge help, and fans have been remaking them on Etsy for quite some time.
That’s awesome that you’re into elder scrolls man, I would recommend elder scrolls online, since it takes place before the major games and is full of lore.
@@bronzecobra8556 like 90% of ESO's content can be played in single player with relative ease as well.
Just keep reading and watching friend. It may take a year or two but eventually you'll know all but the most obscure of names second nature. Playing the games will at least put you right in the middle of some of the plots too, and you'll have tons of fun reading all the books that talk about the distant past but somehow also have context relative to the game's present.
I wish we got to play a Buoyant Armiger quest line. They sound awsome.
Hoping Morrowind gets revisited in ESO. It's the best expansion + DLC (Clockwork City) combination in the game. It was immensely enjoyable and as such, simply not enough. You can get the Glass (Buoyant Armiger) Crafting Style from it, though.
There's still so much of Tamriel that hasn't been explored, it's hard to see it happening, but this is their best content with, quite possibly, the most ardent fans. And it would be hard to revisit in another later-era game with Dunmer culture in spiraling decline.
Hopefully they won't sit on it.
@@verminjerky I hope it doesn't i can't stand ESO i'm to used to Skyrim.
I knowwwwwwww, right???
They’re just so awesomely mysterious.
@@stevesreplaybuttons5771 same dlc,s of eso kinda suck comparing to rest dlc's from tes 3 4 5
Perhaps the peeps working on Skywind can put something like that in
Boyant also refers to an object's ability to float in a substance, in reference to Vivec's ability to levitate in the air. Boyancy also applies to the fact that they're all wearing light armor. They don't stomp into the ground like most heavily armored knights. This may indicate that they are known to be stealthy or quick. Or both, like assassins, which we all know Morrowind is famous for.
Not even close haha. The term Bouyant means to float, sure, but that's missing the point entirely. What it really refers to is that they are the opposites of the Ordinators. Whilst the Ordinators are grave, and of dire mood, the Armigers (or "Happy Knights") are just that, happy, flamboyant, cheerful. Just as Vivec is always in duality, so are his ordos.
It most certainly doesn't have anything to do with their armor type nor Vivec's ability to float.
-Much love from someone who actually reads the in-game text and doesn't overanalyze
@@jamesswanson4085 Now explain to me why it can't be both.
Fudgemuppet comes out with morrowind lore right when I'm replaying for the first time in a decade. How awesome!
i think you and vaatividya are my favorite lore channels. You both have great narrative voices and your scripts are solid. Keep up the good work, it’s top quality.
YES! Thank you guys SO much. I just got out of the hospital yesterday and saw this video, it really lifted my spirits. I think I’ve asked for you guys to do an Armiger vid and while I doubt this was made by my request, thank you guys SO much. Amazing video guys. The Dunmer are the most awesome race for a reason.
And hey! You guys should ABSOLUTELY do an Armiger build.
I have an Armiger build of my own, “Sargon Asher-Dan”. An ashlander who became devoted to Vivec and became a great Armiger. To then have his faith nearly shattered by the Nerevarine Prophecy. Now knowing the awful truth of his God”, he left the temple and the Armigers. Returning to his ashland tribe, the Zainab, he re-devoted himself to the Good Daedra and became a holy warrior of his own tribe and of his Reclamtions. He used his years of service in the Armigers for the benefit of his tribe. Under the hard and battle-ready gaze of Boethiah, the clear and all-seeing eyes of Azura, and the hidden, piercing eyes of Mephala, he defended his tribe alongside his fellow warriors.
I have SO much more to the build and I’ve used the format that you guys have made. I have the rest of his backstory, perks, skills, standing stone, and even some mods. If you guys wanna see it I’d love to show you!!! Not to make as a video, I just wanna see if you guys think it’s cool lol
I haven't played Morrowind yet and didn't know much about this order up to now. Loved the way you narrated their story, i for sure "enjoyed this dive" into the lore!
That ESO version of their armor looks awesome. I’ll have to try to get some.
These explorations have been a saving grace through the pandemic. I just love what you guys do.
I wrote a fanfiction of a former Bouyant Armiger - among the highest in his order - several hundred years after the fall of ALMSIVI during the events of the impending Second Great War. Once bouyant and lighthearted, always a song or clever quip upon his tongue, now bitter and hateful, roaming Tamriel as a mercenary.
In it, he met Vivec and Nerevar(ine), and attempted to kill them in rage.
Wasn't my best literary work, but the concept was fun.
late to this but given the introduction of anniversary edition and "the ghosts of the tribunal", its a shame to imagine these ancient orders totally dying out and instead I find it cooler to think these armigers carried on their tradition in secret and passed it on generationally, spawning adventure loving dark elves across Morrowind and Tamriel, Vesparth the Toe being a good example of this.
Still love Morrowind most of all, even after all this time. So, how about a Skyrim "Buoyant Armiger" build video?
Glad you called out that Vivec’s lessons shouldnt be taken as truth so fervently. I see so many people use it as proof and Im like “You know Vivec is associated with lies right?”
Hence the theology that Mephala is the anticipation of Vivec.
Hey Scott great video. I like to think that in some way the Buoyant Armigers are still around getting by the best they can just like the Blades are in Skyrim. Be well and stay safe, regards Gary.
OMC never thought we'd see this. TY!!
Really like these deeper dives into stuff some people may not be aware of. Keep it up, Fudgemuppet!
I have no idea what I’ve just listened to... but my word do I love ES lore
Morrowind lore is the greatest. Awesome video Fudge! :)
I love the lore surrounding Vivec and the Tribunal temple. This is parts of what makes Morrowind (in my eyes of course) the best elder scrolls game.
I never knew that the glass armor design (which i will fight you over is the best in Morrowind :D ) was made for the Buoyant Armigers. I learned so much from this, even as an old Morrowind player. Thanks!
Your voice and information is literally comparable to Morgan Freeman, only gamer version. Legendary!!!!!
Man, feels like It's been a while since I've watched one of your vids.
I did like and enjoy watching and listening to this.
Hope you're staying SAFE out there, and stay AWESOME, FudgeMuppet.
I have nothing but love for this channel. Your tone is very calming, and you don't moan after every sentence like that epicnate dude.
With all the chaos and uncertainty going on, fudge muppet has become my beacon of peace
It’s a tragic thing that both the Tribunal and Empire, factions which were so important in Morrowind, have been beaten and battered into unrecognizable forms in the current timeline. If there is one thing that Bethesda has done well, its convey the passage of time. Love the channel and content even if watching it makes me feel old and sad
Thank you for all that you do. The podcasts are cool and everything else in between, I have a podcast idea. How about discussing stuff like CHIM, C0DA etc and it’ll be cool to discuss the obscure texts of Michael Kirkbride while granted not exactly “canon” it’s still entertaining nonetheless and amaranth is a cool concept
I always used to think that they were saying 'I'll be back to Nirn out with you again' until I watched videos about other games lol
Thanks so much for some more Morrowind lore!
Sweet sweet Morrowind lore
That's the level of faith and devotion you get when your gods walk the earth with their people not hide in the above the clouds pfffft.....ALMSIVI!!!!
Video topic: why is the dungeon of Red Mountain called Dagoth Ur. Is Dagoth Ur REALLY even there as part of a dream? Or is he projected into reality by the dungeon “coming to life” because of the heart?
2:40 you missed the chance to say "myth meets mer", and said elf instead. I know... I'm nitpicking, but we hold you folks at *extremely high regard* so y'all just... Y'know... Keep being awesome.
Well, that makes it less confusing.
So when is the Knights of Vivec Skyrim build coming out? Or are we waiting for ES6?
The greatest order of knights in the mundus!
So... I guess these mer knew and were willingly serving someone who wrote how to karma sutra with a daedric prince of rape and submission...?
But only his head.
Yes. Wouldn't you?
Well they are used to having there bodies changed unwillingly from the princes. They may aswell learn to enjoy it.
I mean if you can go through it and live, wouldnt you want to know the best ways how?
I'm sad that we never got a Buoyant Armiger build for Skyrim.
Fudgemuppet
Yall just saved me from a bad hungover morning with my mother raining her usual grand of hell
Could you do a video on the history of Winterhold? They have some interesting stuff there and a lot of people are not familiar with it.
I think that brand bold and ostentatious is exactly what Dunmer society needs. Face the grim nature of Morrowind with a chuckle
reinforced ebony armor the best armor
The first Buoyant Armiger I met was a Buoyant Armiger at Ghostgate who told me that his name was Buoyant Armiger and that he was a Buoyant Armiger. For half a minute I thought that Buoyant Armigers were all called Buoyant Armiger, until I met one who wasn't and realised that what I thought was an interesting piece of lore was just slopping dialogue programming.
Vivec is definitely dead. Not only does the player have the option to kill him as revenge, but Almalexia even has unique dialogue for if you chose to do so before meeting her. Additionally, Vivec himself admits to the player that his power is running out, and that without the Heart of Lorkan, he will not be able to replenish his divinity. Meaning even if you don't kill him, completing the main quest destroys the source of his power, and his immortality. Evidence of Vivec's passing is also seen when the meteor above the city of Vivec, which was suspended above the city as a show of Vivec's power, suddenly crashes into the city after the events of Morrowind.
The idea of a world filled with happy, murderous warrior poets is very interesting
I am curious, just how bouyant are they? As a duck or as a really small rock?
were did this thumbnail come from . its awsome
Maybe a few might try making their flamboyance some kind of display to please Asura? It's a bit of a stretch... but it's the only Reclamation I could see working.
I think the Bouyant Armigers still have a place, especially now that times are bad. The ability to laugh in the face of adversity and maintain their dignity through martial prowess and intellect is something the Dunmer will need if they are to rebuild a fighting force even if they don't have Vivec anymore.
Ok, you've talked about the Bouyant Armigers. Now can you talk about either the Bal Molagmer or that one sect of Dwemer who practiced Daedra worship beneath Mournhold?
You said that the lessons of Vivec are teachings in a Velothi context. Could you elaborate on that? I always thought Vec's teachings were his own.
Buoyant Armigers, or as I call them, swimmer soldiers.
That floating guys just showing off
My guess is that once the Almsivi fell that the Armigers got incorporated mostly into house Redoran. Partly because most of them were Redoran-born and Redoran now holds most political power and possibly has their fingers in the new religion given that their greatest rival, the Hlaalu, are now gone and that house Indoril mostly rode the coattails of Almsivi to survive
This will be my next character rp build
Gotta love morrowind content
Really nice vid. Would be a cool Type of dunmer characterbuild.
what if M'aiq the liar is an avatar of vivec?
He is most likely Lorkhan doomed to walk Nirn for ever.
That or a self insert of Michael (Ma'iq => Maiq=> Mike) Kirkbride
Vivec would never pose as a piece of dirty, furry farm equipment.
@@patrickaycock3655 considering how low his standards are I wouldn't put it past him
@@Srksius2802 truth
I watch all of these videos but have never played Morrowind. Does anybody recommend it?
Definitely, but if you grew up playing new games, you’ll want to mod it.
Yes.
Yes, Morrowind is wonderfull. Is a complete RPG game.But you need study the books, the lore and everything.
You can even play on your phone now using openmw! It's a product of it's time, but still one of the best 3d rpgs to date.
Skyrim was my first game and I just started playing morrowind on my Xbox one with no mods and I got use to it so definitely play it
In Skyrim on the dlc the bodyguard has on chitin armor
Oh kirkbride took alllll the drugs ❤
I was more interested how one of ghose warriors came to posession of Auriel's shield and Auriel's bow
How about a Skyrim AE build? Since the AE content added a mask of Vivec
I decided not to play as a Bouyant Armiger because they're not very immersive.
Frieza- "Awfully Zarbon in here..."
Anyone getting a Frieza and the Ginyu force vibe here?
very interesting
so, out of curiosity, if vivec is chim and the daedra/aedra aren't (presumably at least based on their "limited" actions) does that then make Vivec more powerful than them and even Lorkhan, auri-el, and even Anu? Also iI would be a cool spinoff where Vivec becomes Amaranth and make nirn in his own image in his own universe. I mean what else is he doing since he didn't zero sum?
C0DA.
Could y'all do one more modded build? One to match the evil and power of Emperor Palatine.
For Skyrim special edition
So in short, they're Vivec's Hype Men.
Would be an intresting dark elf build
1. Morrowind is so much more than just a game to me. I played it after Oblivion and Skyrim and it just clicked with me in a way no other game has done before or after. I just love it so much.
2. Michael Kirkbride is a treasure and I hope Bethesda hires him for TES:VI. His work on Dunmer lore, TES metaphysics, Redguard lore, Pelinal the gay time-traveling cyborg, and Alduin lore is the perfect blend of madness and creativity. You can tell he majored in comparative religion because his writing feels like genuine religious stuff. Just look at Vivec's sermons. Also check out c0da if you want a true mindfuck.
3. Dunmerettes are hot little minxes and I want Ranys Athrys to punish me for the filthy n'wah I am.
Actually first, love the podcast guys
3:05 FUCKIN’ WHAT!?
Does someone have a link to the mods that these guys use? I really love Morrowind, and play it as is, but I think I might be ready for a bit of a touch up.
check the morrowind graphics guide on nexus it basically has every single graphic mod for morrowind and what order to install them
Build video?
Vivec that goofball, always telling his mystical jokes, wearing his classic mating bones flatbrim, and summoning those celebration demons.
only vivec would have happy glass knights
I'm on PS4 is there a way I can play Oblivion and Morrowind please help
Edit:also which should I play first if I should play them
No.
-fellow ps4 player. Sony hates us.
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger They do indeed we should've gotten a PC hey
@@Grave_of_the_Sea they both run happily on an ok laptop; walmart sells Elder Scrolls Anthology for like $50; you get Arena,Daggerfall, morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.
Morrowind: You WILL miss constantly till you get your stats up; hits are based on a d20 dice roll mechanic so running is a viable tactic if you're having a hard time. Beware of Cliffracers, watch your stamina because once it's out you cant fight or move till it recharges some if I recall correctly, listen to dialogue and learn location names because theres no quest markers
If you’ve got a laptop morrowind runs just fine, especially if it’s a newer one. Can even slap some mods on it if you want.
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger Thanks fellow PS4 player if I save up maybe I can get it
Hey #Fudgemuppet are you guys planning on doing any content for AC Valhalla ?
I think they lived outside dunmer society probably, or at least like an auxilliary of the Fighter's Guild in Morrowind.
They do not need vivec to survive, even if their influence will be greatly reduced, they only need an example and to follow their virtue, and in Tamriel, there is always place for chivalrous warriors, so why can't they survive really ?
This will certainly not be a grand organisations in the 4E though.
How are your graphics for morrowimd so good?
mods
some of it is eso not morrowind (in case you didnt know)
Don't worry about what happened with them. Like people may stop worshipping Vivec but come on. Thanks to old stories, there will definitely be a place for fearless buoyant warriors that would be of great wit and would be willing to risk their lives just coz it's the right thing to do. Yeah, they will not be as numerous but still enough to be somewhere around.
Vivec band of merry men and women.... i think you mean merry mer and womer.
Thanks for the video, Morrowind looks good with mods. Question: is there a mod where we don't have to look at vivec's bare butt?
Basically Vivec got fucked up with his homies and said yall my boys
Bouyant tends to mean something that floats. So maybe they got their names when Vivec flooded Morrowind during the invasion of Akavir.
A dark elf or a light elf
Nice lore.But i literally took over the temple and then killed every member right down to the priest in the cuts of morrowind.😭
As much as I love the Dunmer. I love the Altmer more. I love being taller cause I'm tall. I love Magic in games. Altmer are perfect Magisters. The Dunmer make good Mages too but I feel Altmer would be stronger in a Magical fight than a Dunmer. Altmer go for Lighting while Dunmer go for Fire.
Although I always do get indecisive cause I love the Druchii in Warhammer and the Style which are Dark themed High Elves. Wish I could have a less Gold Altmer.
One word, telvanni
Dunmer are the best. Of course we get all the lore filthy s'wits.
HAHAHAHA YES
MOAR MORROWIND CONTENT
