I still imagine Otar the Mad as unceasingly slamming his dead hands into the sarcophagus's lid, headbutting it, silently screaming and thrashing maniacally, for four-thousand years. Then he gets let out and immedeately some oaf in fancy armor smashes a Dragon's hipbone through his head. :D
Theirs some hidden lore on him he cares about his men and he used to use a sword and shield untill his hands were charred trying to save his men. He started using magic because he lost the ability to use his sword and shield.
After defeating Hevnorak at Valthume, and allowing Valdar to finally be at peace, I always take his helmet, sitting there by his throne in front, and enchant it so I can rename it "Valdar's Helm," as a momento. I usually put a Restoration enchantment on it, since that is the school of magic that has the Turn Undead spell. And that's pretty much what Valdar was doing for 4000 years.
Uh Oh, here we go again. Night Mother:"YET ANOTHER CHILD.... HAS PRAYED TO THEIR MOTHER...... SPEAK TO THE DEMANDING COMMENTER FOR THICCNESS IN TH-cam, ACCEPT HIS GOLD AND ELIMINATE THE TARGET... HAIL THE LISTENER, HAIL SITHIS!!"
Best one was Vahlok. He was just a nice guy, honorable and willing to fight a madman. If only we could recruit his spirit to help up take out Miraak in Mora's realm.
That should have been an option. Awaken Vahlok and recruit him in your battle with Miraak. The Light Side option would be to work with Vahlok to take him down, and the Dark Side option would be to work with Hermaeus Mora to take him down.
Is there just way too little lore on Nahkriin? I mean he's the one guarding the entrance to Sovngarde, in Skuldafn. I feel as if he's got to be pretty important.
I've often thought that. You get ones like Morokei, Hevnoraak and Otar with cool stories and lore behind them. Then you have ones like Nahkriin, Volsung and Krosis who are kind of just there? Like filling the numbers. Seems a shame to me. I reckon the Dragon Priests could've been some really cool sub-bosses had Bethesda fleshed them out a little more. I mean aside from Nahkriin you don't ever really need to face any of the others.
It sucks that there wasn't an option to join Miraak. But noooo Bethesda just had to make the Dovakin the good guy in the game. Even though you can join shit like the Dark Brotherhood, and the thieves guild.
Gotta say though, the "reason" Alduin appears at that exact time is *BECAUSE* of the civil war "As the scrolls have foretold Of black wings in the cold That come unfurled when brothers wage war Alduin, bane of kings Comes with a hunger to swallow the world" Or so I remember
You are right, but I'll correct the quote. "And the scrolls have foretold of black wings in the cold That when brothers wage war comes unfurled Alduin, Bane of Kings ancient shadow unbound With a hunger to swallow the World!"
Your Friendly Neighbour Hood Lean Dealer only google it if you have a strong stomach. It was a cult that moved down to South America, the leader decided to kill everyone by having them drink flavoraid (offbrand koolaid) laced with cyanide so they’d “ascend to heaven” or something. A horrible, horrible thing that my description here barely does justice.
Still waiting for Nate to do his intro on the ' 10 tiny details we may have missed' series in the dragon tounge.... but as always, still very happy with the content
@@justmonifer I looked at a dragon language "dictionary" and was surprised to discover that there doesn't seem to be a word for "big." The closest I could come up with was "Ni Mal" which translates as "Not Small."
That is not how it went with Rahgot. From the journal of the one who attacked: '27th of Sun's Dusk 1E139 It sounds impossible, but we appeared to have stumbled upon a massive hold out of the Dragon Cultists, who were believed to be wiped out during the Dragon War. The Elves must wait, as this is a threat we cannot ignore. If we are quick, we may be able to catch them unaware and avoid a lengthy siege.' They were in the area looking for SNOW ELVES, not Raghot and his followers.
What about the dragon priest from the College of Winterhold quest. He fricking talks to us and casts cool spells as well as some other stuff that I won’t spoil. I though he was the coolest dragon priest.
@@pachicore The first time I killed him, I knew NOTHING about the dragon priests. I just thought he was a boss. So I shot him a hundred or so times with a hunting bow. He never saw me.
Gah, Rahgot. At first I was just ransacking the place, picking up everything in sight, vaguely aware that Rahgot's followers poisoned themselves - then I saw the mass graves with the children's bodies, and all the flowers. That made me stop and really look at what was going on.
Nate, I gotta give it to ya. The effort you put into these videos is amazing and doesn't go unnoticed. From your cinematography for playing out the scenarios, to looking up the lore and giving it to us so we don't have to, all the way to your charisma while recording. Thank you so much for giving me and so many others the depth and lore we so crave. Always supported and always whitelisted on my ad block so i can help you earn what you deserve. Keep it up dude, and i always look forward to your next work of art
Great video as always, Nate. Maybe for your next project you can take a look at some Dwarven ruins, either actual dungeons or some small things that dot the map such as Deep Folk Crossing.
This might just be my favourite of all your Skyrim vids. Very well done, and five great stories. Rahgot honestly stunned me the first time I did this quest - the note you find about the children was absolutely chilling. I’d love to see more lore videos about characters like Barenziah or something similar. There are so many great stories that tie into Skyrim that you don’t get to experience unless you actually read the books in this or previous games, so a series about the most interesting characters you don’t ever actually meet in Skyrim would be cool.
Dovahkiin: I don't know, your temple was burned to shit. Mirak: That's because I left a cigar burning on the nightstand! Dovahkiin: Sure, if by cigar you mean Vahlok and a legion of pissed-off dragons!
The dragon priests were always so interesting to me. Some greatly differ with morality from godly good to neutral to down right evil. Then you have the pseudo priests as well. Wish we had a quest to actually talk to one. Besides Mirrak of course as he’s technically ex dragon priest
@@krupplet First time I faced him I was a complete noob and he drained the fuck out of my magicka so I was basically useless and got wrecked. Years later I know how his pathing is predictable and you can easily play a little hide and seek :v
I wished the encounters with the priests were similar to Morokai when we go in the tombs. They just start screetching when you mess with their nap time...
i like to roleplay that Vahlok isnt fighting my Dragonborn because their a soulless husk, but that he's testing me to find me worthy enough to finish what he started when it comes to fighting Miraak.
I love how there’s like three elder scrolls youtubers all telling the same stories and the lore over and over again, but I keep watching it all anyways.
The work you put in to line up nords to show the invasion force on that one city, or stage a battle between npcs wearing the ancient falmer armor to represent they were snow elves or all the other details I didn't notice is so subtle and I think underappreciated. There's a lot of work put in to make it high quality
As i watched this vid, i assumed that it could be a pretty dated video, because i usually watch older videos. I was vastly surprised to see this was made TODAY. Like, thats awesome that you still make content like this man, definitely some of the most entertaining content on the platform. Keep em coming!
From what I understand, the dragon war mainly happened because of the dragon priests in Skyrim. Apparently the dragon priests in Atmora were pretty fair rulers, as opposed to most of those in Skyrim being rather tyrannical. If the dragon priests had reigned in their evil ways, the dragon war may have never happened at all.
What's more terrifying: the stories behind the Priests or the fact we slay them to death, rip off their faces and wear them or show them on a statue in our house?
he also talked to you whilst draining your magicka, killed everyone in Savos Aran's expedition team except for Aran himself, as Aran tributed his two friends to seal Morokei (all that effort and he still can talk to you as you enter labyrinthian), dude's crazy
Alternative ways Nate can say Skyrim is a massive game he hasn't said: Skyrim is a Thicc game. Skyrim is the Hitomi Tanaka of the video games Skyrim is a big chungus of a game Skyrim is the Motumbo of video games
I never really looked into the dragon priest lore but I always collected their masks as soon as I could but the ones that comes to mind the most is Nahkriin and Krosis and I don’t remember why I remember it so much
Great lore video, Nate! Dragon Priest Otar reminds me a lot of King Leoric from Diablo lore. Horrible circumstances drove him to madness and he became The Skeleton King.
I love your videos watch them all the times. Love the random encounters videos ran into the mad women on top of a snow mountain out of no where. she kept telling me master on vacation and i need to careful was hilarious encounter.
Just found this video series and loving it nice work nate after owning the game since xbox 360 and now finally on pc and you tell a wicked story and make me think more on how much you can miss really nice job man i look forward to watching more
The Dragon Priests are awesome, perhaps most of all because of their masks. I have all nine (ten if you count the Wooden Mask) from vanilla and I'm wearing Konahriik, I can't wait to get the perk for tempering enchanted items. The only one I have from Solstheim is Zahkriisos, but that is going to change in the next day or so.
@@goldedrag111 Over the past year, when I did go back and play Skyrim, I managed to get all of them on Solstheim too. I'm only playing on an ancient 360 with no mods, so that's it for me.
At the end of the quest "A cornered rat" and the beginning of the quest "Alduin's wall" If you run out of the ratway without Esbern and go straight to Delphine and proceed to talk to her you can get some unique dialogue, where Delphine will proceed to yell at the Dovahkiin ordering them to come back when they have Esbern with them. Also if you don't say Skyrim is a THICC game. I will have to order a shill.
Azidal’s boots of water walking I always kept with me. But I realized they weighed too much so I gave them to my Dwarven Armored Mudcrab. But then my Creation Club stopped functioning so he disappeared and the boots went with him 😢😢😢.
Nate! Great work as always. I think you beat out MxR for my number one Skyrim TH-camr spot (it's the consistency, I love you Henry I love you Jeanie) You might even get me to game again. I'm in Linux now and haven't ironed out my modding kinks yet. So... It may be KC:D that I grab... But still. Love the channel. Keep it up homie!
Valok could've been the only Dragon Priest we could engage in a conversation with. Like possibly, we could learn how he incapacitated Mirrak the first time and use some of his knowledge against our battle with Mirrak in Aporapha. Then he could've requested the Dragonborn to defeat him in battle so he knows we're the real deal
Funny that this was the first video I saw when I opened YT. I literally just finished the dragon priest mask sidequest and got Konahrik like... ten minutes ago.
Wow that was THICC man. I really liked that. I think the dragon priest that defeated mirak was the best story. Fills in why Mirak was in Mora's Part of oblivion for so long. I cant read the books well from the distance i play. So alot of lore is missed. If I had my way, they would add zoom to books. Don't know why Bethesda didn't. Hopefully es6 will.
Nate, you did it again! I really like the way you pull all the details together about each Dragon Priest. Thank you. btw on another subject, is there anything special when you finally get all the dragon shouts?
I think I may have a tiny detail for you, u less you've covered it already: In the book Horker Attacks, it mentions a hunter named Gromm. In Oblivion, the bodyguard to one of the Dark Brotherhood targets was named Gromm.
@ 4:07, noticed the polygonal masonry on the wall behind the character....looks like Peru, among many other global sites....hats off to Bethesda for that...i never noticed before. That's amazing.

@@behrjudysson6159 he makes up for it by being unkillable in Hitman
Morokei was also one of top 5 Dragon Priests since he has a Staff of Magnus.
he also talked to you whilst draining your magicka, killed everyone in Savos Aran's expedition team except for Aran himself, as Aran tributed his two friends to seal Morokei (all that effort and he still can talk to you as you enter labyrinthian), dude's crazy
@@kapxbianz it kept recharging my magica, I had the archnoch stone
I'd love to see a background on the rest of the priests they all are very interesting
I love the histories of the Dragon Priest. I have a bearded dragon named Alduin and a hamster named Nahkriin. More tes names too lol
Ayyyy! My boyfriend and I wanna get a bearded durgen and name it "Parthunaax." :D
Dorks
3:00 has a Draugr holding a longsword or Zweihänder as if it was an axe, lmao.
This channel and mxr's -hentai- immersive mods are the reason I decided to pick up Skyrim again

I never put it down my child 😶

@@Allantitan Yes my child, you have a choice 😶
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 DADDY! I MISSED YOU ( please kill me wait did you get your name from spiderman? )
I created a new character just because collecting the masks is so fun for me.
thank you so much m8 for awesome videos I always enjoy them :) keep up the great work.
it's n8 not m8

Alternative ways Nate can say Skyrim is a massive game he hasn't said:
Skyrim is a Thicc game.
Skyrim is the Hitomi Tanaka of the video games
Skyrim is a big chungus of a game
Skyrim is the Motumbo of video games
Motumbo lulz, excellent
Hitomi Tanaka wtf
Thanks for this one Nate!! The dragon preists were my favourite part of Skyrim.
I never really looked into the dragon priest lore but I always collected their masks as soon as I could but the ones that comes to mind the most is Nahkriin and Krosis and I don’t remember why I remember it so much
Definitely my favorite video so far. Love the dragon priest addition to Skyrim more than anything lol
Great lore video, Nate! Dragon Priest Otar reminds me a lot of King Leoric from Diablo lore. Horrible circumstances drove him to madness and he became The Skeleton King.
I always felt like the dragon priests didn’t get enough love, this is an amazing video! Thanks for making it :)
Love the history! You should do more lore!
do something about hidden details maybe? i think it would be good :p
I love your videos watch them all the times.
Love the random encounters videos ran into the mad women on top of a snow mountain out of no where.
she kept telling me master on vacation and i need to careful was hilarious encounter.
Thank you for this! Vahlok definitely deserves more love!
Just found this video series and loving it nice work nate after owning the game since xbox 360 and now finally on pc and you tell a wicked story and make me think more on how much you can miss really nice job man i look forward to watching more
You got it wrong, King Haralds men werent sent to attack Rahgot. They came across forelhost while driving out the elves.
Wait, so they were still killing off innocent Snow Elves all that time after? Damn..
whoaaa that sign at 11:05 was so fast
The Dragon Priests are awesome, perhaps most of all because of their masks. I have all nine (ten if you count the Wooden Mask) from vanilla and I'm wearing Konahriik, I can't wait to get the perk for tempering enchanted items. The only one I have from Solstheim is Zahkriisos, but that is going to change in the next day or so.
I have every single one.
@@goldedrag111 Over the past year, when I did go back and play Skyrim, I managed to get all of them on Solstheim too. I'm only playing on an ancient 360 with no mods, so that's it for me.
@@companylovesmisery1463 I have all of them on my 360 character. I'm going to get SSE on the PC eventually.
@@goldedrag111 I've thought of getting Skyrim on the PC, but for the moment I'm actually messing around with Morrowind on my PC.
@@companylovesmisery1463 I haven't played Morrowind yet.
At the end of the quest "A cornered rat" and the beginning of the quest "Alduin's wall" If you run out of the ratway without Esbern and go straight to Delphine and proceed to talk to her you can get some unique dialogue, where Delphine will proceed to yell at the Dovahkiin ordering them to come back when they have Esbern with them.
Also if you don't say Skyrim is a THICC game. I will have to order a shill.
Azidal’s boots of water walking I always kept with me. But I realized they weighed too much so I gave them to my Dwarven Armored Mudcrab. But then my Creation Club stopped functioning so he disappeared and the boots went with him 😢😢😢.
Nate! Great work as always. I think you beat out MxR for my number one Skyrim TH-camr spot (it's the consistency, I love you Henry I love you Jeanie)
You might even get me to game again. I'm in Linux now and haven't ironed out my modding kinks yet. So... It may be KC:D that I grab... But still.
Love the channel. Keep it up homie!
PS. Call it THICC, you know you want to!
Still can't belive you played Minecraft before this.
You might be the first channel I actually subscribe to...the videos are cool BTW 👍
Valok could've been the only Dragon Priest we could engage in a conversation with. Like possibly, we could learn how he incapacitated Mirrak the first time and use some of his knowledge against our battle with Mirrak in Aporapha. Then he could've requested the Dragonborn to defeat him in battle so he knows we're the real deal
Funny that this was the first video I saw when I opened YT. I literally just finished the dragon priest mask sidequest and got Konahrik like... ten minutes ago.
If you dispatch an undead priest, are you murdering them to UNDEATH?
I’ll see myself out.
Wow that was THICC man. I really liked that. I think the dragon priest that defeated mirak was the best story. Fills in why Mirak was in Mora's Part of oblivion for so long. I cant read the books well from the distance i play. So alot of lore is missed. If I had my way, they would add zoom to books. Don't know why Bethesda didn't. Hopefully es6 will.
That battle between Vahlok and Miraak sounds epic. Meanwhile, all we got was a small and boring fight, that ended in minutes.
Great video!
I wish they made it so you could rule the dragon priests instead of killing them all.
There's probably either a mod for that or someone making a mod for that XD
Nate, you did it again! I really like the way you pull all the details together about each Dragon Priest. Thank you. btw on another subject, is there anything special when you finally get all the dragon shouts?
I've seen so many videos of yours, I've started saying "storting off" out loud in every video now 🤣
Great video, dude. Just saying, the Dragon Priest masks was the reason I really enjoyed the game. So hard to beat but so worth it when you do.
I’m actually early for once!!! I love your videos !!
0:20 talking about Alduin but shows a different dragon
@Okey
No, Alduin is pure Black with the crazy spikes
I love your video it’s helped me play find new places and new loot and stuff like that
This was an excellent video Nate! I love these types of videos. Keep up the amazing work.
When he mentions the "innocent" women and children I immediately thought of Star Wars Episode II attack of the Clones
Not just the men but the women and the children too
I think I may have a tiny detail for you, u less you've covered it already: In the book Horker Attacks, it mentions a hunter named Gromm. In Oblivion, the bodyguard to one of the Dark Brotherhood targets was named Gromm.
@ 4:07, noticed the polygonal masonry on the wall behind the character....looks like Peru, among many other global sites....hats off to Bethesda for that...i never noticed before. That's amazing.
