With the female vampire broach, As it also resembles a ships wheel, I always thought ships=harbour=Coldharbour as females vampires are daughters of coldharbour.
A symbol for chaos on a vampire outfit fits as much as a clown does at a funeral to entertain the grievers. Vampires are very ordered, chaos is their enemy because they don't want their cattle to be alarmed making it more difficult to obtain a meal. They live in ordered covens with their own rules and laws. They infiltrate towns and cities, blending in as much as they can... up to being the court mage of Solitude or simply a husband and wife who runs the local sawmill. Keeping the peace with a lack of chaos serves them and their interests.
@@ZippyMrMew daughters of coldharbor are female vampires who obtain their vampirism directly from molag bal through.... unpleasant means. Age has nothing to do with it. Though the means are why Serena isn't comfortable around temples.
Sam Reddig age doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with it from the start, but the daughters of coldharbour do seem to end up living a long time, if Serana and Valerica are any indication lol. That’s the one thing about romancing Serana... she’s well preserved but a bit of a cougar for the Dragonborn 😂
Harkon seems like the kind of dude that'd really respect how close the mythic dawn cult came to conquering nirn and most likely just wanted an artifact of them as decoration
6:32 theres actually another kill cam where the dragonborn uses a battleaxe to "hook" the chaurus and drag it to the ground and then finishing it off with a powerful blow straight to the body
I've heard a theory about the Mythic Dawn banner in Harkon's room, I don't remember exactly where though. Since Dagon and Molag Bal are rivals, it is possible that Harkon captured some Mythic Dawn members during the Oblivion crisis and kept the banner as a symbol of triumph.
Bloody ancient king trolled the shit out of me. Somehow I stepped over him unknowingly while exploring and his sword started rolling off the cliff. I ran after the sword. Then I realised- “Wait. This is a long way down. Uh oh.”
@Quantum no I'm pretty sure with the dawngaurd dlc installed you can loot werewolf pelts off of dead werewolf's. I have multiple werewolf pelts in my house
The skeleton on the mountaintop... You first two explanations were a bit more of a stretch I think. Though the third theory of it being a nod to Melkor has something to it. Melkor was defeated by the Valar and banished in to the void. In short he experienced as true of a death as a deific being can. Further, while he had the silmaril embedded in his crown, they were a prize he stole from the Noldor who had crafted them. They were beyond precious as they held the last light of the two trees of valinor (which morgoth/melkor destroyed with the aid of ungoliant). This in turn led to his pursuit by the Noldor and sons of Fëanor and the ensuing wars where these mighty elves fought to reclaim the treasure of their father. You also ought to consider the area that those wars took place in. Beleriand. It was a land with several Elven kingdoms, granted alongside those of men and dwarves, but the history of the 1st age is predominantly about the elves. Additionally, the wars ultimately concluded with Morgoth/Melkor's defeat, his 'death' and the destruction of Beleriand. Mark also that Orcs are not a race created in and of themselves, in Tolkien's lore, Orcs are twisted and betrayed elves. Morgoth is also the one who brought the dragons into being. And before I forget, the final battles of those wars against Melkor were fought about his fortress of Angband which was located beneath Thangorodrim, northern, very tall, mountains. So with all these facts, we have; A skeleton representing true death (to my knowledge you cannot raise skeletons in skyrim with conjuration) A crown bearing three remarkable gems. A weapon of the elven races and an indicator of times of war. Located in an area once held and ruled by elves. The same area that has been forgotten by the outside world (i.e Lost) A twisted and deformed race of creatures that were once elves. A fortress/temple located in the mountains. And the snowy environment of being located in the biting north and heights. I'd say the skeleton being a nod to Morgoth/Melkor and the end of the 1st age of Arda is a pretty good bet.
Here's something I noticed instantly. Might be a coincidence but. Gunmar is a member of the Dawnguard who trains Trolls. In Trollhunters. Gunmar a troll is the Antagonist who with his sword Controlls other trolls. I have always found this slightly interesting and nobody else seems to notice this
Yup! I always grab "The Sultry Argonian Bard". I've a thing for the books in the game and am determined to have at least 1 copy of every findable book for my houses' libraries.
Excellent video! For the unknown king, I like the second theory, with makes reference to Thorin. He is buried next to a stone castle almost buried in the mountain... Just like Erebor
I’ve been watching your Skyrim videos since I was a little girl, it’s amazing to look back at them, pure nostalgia🖤Always happy to see people still adoring Skyrim.
Imagine if you could convince arch curate vurther to aid them in defeating Harkon or somehow convince him that he can be cured by Falion, I aways felt bad killing him as you are left no choice, one of the last snow elves
Just came off of watching this and the main Skyrim video and _man..._ between all these easter eggs and the monumental list of fanmade content, I'm never gonna run out of things to do in Skyrim.
I've been spending the last two days getting all the Xbox 360 Achievements for Oblivion. It's nice to listen to some Elder Scrolls while I finish up the Shivering Isles. Thanks, Camel!
40:55 on a video you made you mention that vampires like the taste of werewolf blood which means that harkon may have hunt them for him to taste the delicious blood they have and that is why he has it as memento from the hunts he made.
Camel, your videos are so well done and thorough. You’re honestly my favorite TH-camd, you e gotten me back into Skyrim at least 20 times lol! Keep up the excellent work!
I saw the Lich on the thumbnail and got excited. Gauntlet dark legacy was my jam when I was a kid (green Archer for LYFE) and the Lich's Crypt was my favorite ost track in the entire game. The way the Lich climbed out of the hole in the middle of the arena headless, grabbing his head from the spike on his axe and then kicking his axe up with a menacing flourish and twirling it in his hands was amazing!! The way he whispered "Come 'ere...." As he chased you around, spinning himself around with his axe and vomiting maggots and grubs, summoning cracks in the ground to slow you down and even giant skeleton hands to grab you and deplete your health....oh my gods what a great time! Sorry for ranting....
For me it was like memories about strange crab-people and a guy with a forehead as huge as a MAN truck. ... And Morla, the giant turtle. And that fluffy dragon Fuchur. ... And that Stone giant, forgot his name. Man, being born in 1992 was good, the following years were great with just everything. I grew up knowing how cool it was to build a fortress out of wooden sticks in the local forest, something today's Fortnite-generation will never understand. ...When good old Nintendo just exploded on the worldwide market.
Oh man, if only there was a TH-camr with extensive knowledge of NPC dialogue who could speculate, hypothesise and theorise where the next Elder Scrolls game might be set... Each game seems to have many hints to the next
I'm standing by hammerfell my reasoning is poor at best, in morrowind you're taken from cyrodill in skyrim you were headed to hammerfell. Little hints in the openings of games.
@@ralcogaming7674 I'm inclined to agree. That, and one of the first quests most players following the story will encounter is the Saadia quest with the two Redguards
@@jmell458 we also learn in eso that red eagle was a sword singer. Red eagle was a prominent reachmen. Theres also the ebony warrior whose a dragonborn and a redguard.
The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time. Clint Mansell is an incredible composer, and I spend about 80% of that movie ugly sobbing. Also, the gorgeous Xibalba effects were done by chemical reactions, not just CGI, which makes it even more beautiful
Camelworks, have you ever thought about doing videos on specific non-quest locations? Places like Lost Prospect Mine that are seemingly mundane at first but have a story hidden away inside them. Skyrim has quite a few of them.
I remember meeting Jiub in the soul cairn....I got pretty emotional. Morrowind was an exponentially important game for me so getting to run into him again....that was nice.
The green slime The Reaper spits at you, actually comes from Peryite's questline in Skyrim where his followers are infected with an unknown sickness from his plain of Oblivion and are referred to as The Afflicted and the humanoid that's crushed in Castle Volkihar may also be Hircine, a daedra with a deer head
The Story of St. Patrick is actually a glorified genocide committed by The Holy Roman Empire against Irish-Celtic Pagans. The “Driving the Snakes from Ireland” trope is actually a metaphor to the Genocide as “The Serpent” is one of the Totem/Spirit Animals of Irish-Celtic Pagans. The Colours of St. Patrick’s Day being Green is also wrong. The original colours of the St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations were Blue and Gold.
It's also possible that the Ancient Falmer Armor is called "Ivory Armor" in the creation kit coding because it's similar in design to Ebony Armor, but with a white color scheme, and as such is the opposite of ebony - hence ebony and ivory.
I'm fairly confident you can get the bard book in dragonborn too. In fact, a lady sends you on a misc quest to get it, asking you to retrieve it and other cargo when it was stolen by pirates, and to "keep the contents of the cargo a secret"
I'm the Soul Cairn, as I was doing the Arvak quest, I remember wandering around to find the skull and I found what looked like a tomb to me. I entered, since tombs hold corpses, and corpses have skeletons, etc, only to be met with a stand or so which required a gem fragments, which I'd previously collected because I thought they looked cool and I had literally nothing better to do as I tried to stay up all night. As a result, I recall there being a strange reaction of there suddenly being lightning striking the center of the room from the stand and the ceiling, the room dark with a grate-like floor I think? I know for sure, however, that an executioner-like figure started attacking me, vomiting as an attack whilst summoning skeletons or something of the sort. Either way, I got completely owned regardless of my relatively high-ish level and quite leveled armor, magic, and weapons. This was a few years ago, and ever since then had I figured I'd found a secret boss or an Easter Egg or something. Only recently had I decided to Google it to figure out what the hell actually happened there. Turns out, I just got my ass handed to me by what was quite literally a secret boss, the Reaper.
Lovely little callback to dragonheart. I loved that movie as a kid, along with the old VHS cartoons about the Ewok villages and the old animated version of the hobbit!
The Nightmare from D&D (pre-5e) is native to the Lower Planes, not the Astral Plane or Plane of Shadows. Which is fitting since they're often the mounts for night hags ("night-mara"). Cu Sith is properly pronounced "Coo Shee."
I always assumed the Chaos symbol pin on the female vampires' capes were some kinda lowkey nod to Molag Bal's domain Coldharbour. Now, English isn't my native language but harbors makes me think of the sea and marine stuff, so the pin I always thought was like... a fancy rudder for a ship.
For the snowberry bush I think it's a reference to the fountain for all the reasons you stated but also there is a little stream of water passing through it
Great video as always camel! As an Irish man I feel ashamed I didn't get the reference to Fionn mac Cumhail until now. Thanks for bringing an Irish legend to light :)🇮🇪
There's another Sultry Argonian Bard book out there. I've gotten that book before but never at a bedroll like that. Examination with the creation kit should show proof enough if I'm right on that though.
I just thought of one, the color scheme and shape of the vampire lord itself is a 3d rerendering of Dracula's final from from symphony of the night just a little less bulky
i feel the the Wendigo one at around 42:50 could also be reference to the Witcher with Leshen's being a specific monster from it. very similar creatures in likeness and stature.
For the chaurus hunters, there is also a unique two-handed animation for greatswords & battleaxes. I haven’t tested if the animation also applies for warhammers.
about The Reaper's green vomit, my mind actually went to the episode of The X-Files--season 1 episode 3. The Reaper being in an enclosed space filled with clumps of bone+slime reminded me of the antagonist of that episode Victor, as he can traverse tight spaces, and made a nest out of human bile and newspaper.
This might be a stretch, but I like to think this is either a reference or at least something influenced by Warhammer Fantasy. One interesting character in Warhammer Fantasy is named Walach Harkon, is the Grandmaster of a group of Vampire Knights called the Blood Dragons, residing in The Blood Keep. The leader of the vampires in Skyrim, is named Harkon, and one of the very first objectives you receive when you start making moves against him is find 2 elder scrolls, each named Blood and Dragon.
34:32 ..but when you have Mjoll the Lioness as follower, she tells that she as a girl, went hunting with her father and the Clifracers made for excelent sport...so Juib didn't wipe them out completely
You forgot to mention that the flying orbs in the Soul Cairn is a reference to Little Monsters. In the movie, there are flying orbs that appear when Brian and Maurice (who's a friendly monster) first enter the monster underworld, much like when the Dragonborn and Serana (also a friendly monster) first entered the Soul Cairn.
Enjoy chaps.

I've heard a theory about the Mythic Dawn banner in Harkon's room, I don't remember exactly where though. Since Dagon and Molag Bal are rivals, it is possible that Harkon captured some Mythic Dawn members during the Oblivion crisis and kept the banner as a symbol of triumph.

Keep in mind at the time this comment was written it was 111 where I was
The skeleton on the mountaintop...
You first two explanations were a bit more of a stretch I think. Though the third theory of it being a nod to Melkor has something to it.
Melkor was defeated by the Valar and banished in to the void. In short he experienced as true of a death as a deific being can.
Further, while he had the silmaril embedded in his crown, they were a prize he stole from the Noldor who had crafted them. They were beyond precious as they held the last light of the two trees of valinor (which morgoth/melkor destroyed with the aid of ungoliant).

Additionally, the wars ultimately concluded with Morgoth/Melkor's defeat, his 'death' and the destruction of Beleriand.
Mark also that Orcs are not a race created in and of themselves, in Tolkien's lore, Orcs are twisted and betrayed elves.
Morgoth is also the one who brought the dragons into being.
And before I forget, the final battles of those wars against Melkor were fought about his fortress of Angband which was located beneath Thangorodrim, northern, very tall, mountains.
So with all these facts, we have;
A skeleton representing true death (to my knowledge you cannot raise skeletons in skyrim with conjuration)
A crown bearing three remarkable gems.
A weapon of the elven races and an indicator of times of war.
Located in an area once held and ruled by elves.
The same area that has been forgotten by the outside world (i.e Lost)
A twisted and deformed race of creatures that were once elves.
A fortress/temple located in the mountains.
And the snowy environment of being located in the biting north and heights.
I'd say the skeleton being a nod to Morgoth/Melkor and the end of the 1st age of Arda is a pretty good bet.

I'm fairly confident you can get the bard book in dragonborn too. In fact, a lady sends you on a misc quest to get it, asking you to retrieve it and other cargo when it was stolen by pirates, and to "keep the contents of the cargo a secret"
8:30 - I like to put these on to fall asleep too, i was almost off and then you went and said that!
Bran means "Defender" on most slavic languages. Branimir is very popular variation of the name, it means defender of the world.
You can actually find Chaurus hunters in the Falmer dungeon you go to during the Thieves Guild questline if you have the Dawnguard DLC installed.
I'm the Soul Cairn, as I was doing the Arvak quest, I remember wandering around to find the skull and I found what looked like a tomb to me. I entered, since tombs hold corpses, and corpses have skeletons, etc, only to be met with a stand or so which required a gem fragments, which I'd previously collected because I thought they looked cool and I had literally nothing better to do as I tried to stay up all night. As a result, I recall there being a strange reaction of there suddenly being lightning striking the center of the room from the stand and the ceiling, the room dark with a grate-like floor I think? I know for sure, however, that an executioner-like figure started attacking me, vomiting as an attack whilst summoning skeletons or something of the sort. Either way, I got completely owned regardless of my relatively high-ish level and quite leveled armor, magic, and weapons. This was a few years ago, and ever since then had I figured I'd found a secret boss or an Easter Egg or something.
Only recently had I decided to Google it to figure out what the hell actually happened there. Turns out, I just got my ass handed to me by what was quite literally a secret boss, the Reaper.
"Didnt know...wendigo" I rolled my eyes so far I burped, farted and died laughing. Good video :3
Perfect Timing!
I needed this. Now.
Thank you.
Lovely little callback to dragonheart. I loved that movie as a kid, along with the old VHS cartoons about the Ewok villages and the old animated version of the hobbit!
That Molag Bal collar on the royal armor is basically the vampire equivalent of a choker that says "daddy"
I knew vampires were kinky. 😂
@@littlearies3862 I mean, TES vampirism is an STD.
The Nightmare from D&D (pre-5e) is native to the Lower Planes, not the Astral Plane or Plane of Shadows. Which is fitting since they're often the mounts for night hags ("night-mara").
Cu Sith is properly pronounced "Coo Shee."
I never thought I would hear a Neverending story and metal band reference in a elder scrolls skyrim video. Great a video.
I always assumed the Chaos symbol pin on the female vampires' capes were some kinda lowkey nod to Molag Bal's domain Coldharbour.
Now, English isn't my native language but harbors makes me think of the sea and marine stuff, so the pin I always thought was like... a fancy rudder for a ship.
For the snowberry bush I think it's a reference to the fountain for all the reasons you stated but also there is a little stream of water passing through it
Helheim, hel is just the goddess. But I appreciate the reference none the less, and love the video even more. Well done. Love you.
Great video as always camel! As an Irish man I feel ashamed I didn't get the reference to Fionn mac Cumhail until now. Thanks for bringing an Irish legend to light :)🇮🇪
3:40 listen - I was not ready, it's been twelve or more years, but it still hurts
Yo thanks for reading the 'Sultry Argonian Bard.' We needed that.
The individual with the ring at 13:01 also kinda reminds me of Gollum as he's sinking in the lava at the end of The Return of the King
The 'snakes' St Patrick drove from Ireland are supposedly a metaphor for the druids, who were sometimes referred to as 'serpents of wisdom'
There's another Sultry Argonian Bard book out there. I've gotten that book before but never at a bedroll like that.
Examination with the creation kit should show proof enough if I'm right on that though.
I'm late to the party...is there a definitive spelling of how Camel says "bones"?
Boerns?
Bowerns?
Baurns?
Arvak always reminded me of Artax, I'm glad I'm not alone!
That thing with The Fountain is pretty dang neat. My favorite game referencing my favorite movie.
Been binge watching a bunch of “elder scrolls detective” and “curating curious curiosities” this is perfect timing
13:57 ok damn wasn't expecting to see reference to my favorite movie of all time today! Hell yeah dude
I was trying to sleep
Oh well
The amount of work that goes into these videos is mind-boggling, good on you man.
I am really glad that you included the Brush of True Paint!
Love that you used the Nightfall in Middle Earth cover art!
Yay, my suggestion made it in! I suggested the "November's Doom" lyrics part.
I just thought of one, the color scheme and shape of the vampire lord itself is a 3d rerendering of Dracula's final from from symphony of the night just a little less bulky
I hope you have more new, big videos like this in the work! Anyway, time to dive in deep into this Dawnguard delving! Thanks so much for uploading!
SERANA IS THE MOST "DELICIOUS" PART OF DAWNGUARD DLC:)
I always viewed the brooch/pin not as Chaos but rather a stylized compass of sorts.
Anyone else think of Grim Fandango when you saw the skeleton with plants growing out of it? It looks like he got sprouted lol
i feel the the Wendigo one at around 42:50 could also be reference to the Witcher with Leshen's being a specific monster from it. very similar creatures in likeness and stature.
For the chaurus hunters, there is also a unique two-handed animation for greatswords & battleaxes. I haven’t tested if the animation also applies for warhammers.
Arvak's swampy influence also influende the art in the witcher 2 memoires where Geralt led Roach out.
I don't know about everybody else but this is the best birthday upload one could ever ask for!
about The Reaper's green vomit, my mind actually went to the episode of The X-Files--season 1 episode 3. The Reaper being in an enclosed space filled with clumps of bone+slime reminded me of the antagonist of that episode Victor, as he can traverse tight spaces, and made a nest out of human bile and newspaper.
Binge watching your videos back to back- and adding comments for the algorithm~! 🌻👍 Keep up the great content!
Camel, I could use a man like you in my ranks to investigate what the legion is doing. Consider fighting for the true sons and daughters of skyrim
The stormcloaks have obtained access to the internet?
@@angelnavarro3387 Hail Ulfric!
This might be a stretch, but I like to think this is either a reference or at least something influenced by Warhammer Fantasy. One interesting character in Warhammer Fantasy is named Walach Harkon, is the Grandmaster of a group of Vampire Knights called the Blood Dragons, residing in The Blood Keep. The leader of the vampires in Skyrim, is named Harkon, and one of the very first objectives you receive when you start making moves against him is find 2 elder scrolls, each named Blood and Dragon.
34:32 ..but when you have Mjoll the Lioness as follower, she tells that she as a girl, went hunting with her father and the Clifracers made for excelent sport...so Juib didn't wipe them out completely
she was on mainland Morrowind
Aw man I love November's doom, can't believe i didn't know those references were in game
35:05 aaaw man, only ONE?!?!!? I’ve been looking for more for so looonggggg
You forgot to mention that the flying orbs in the Soul Cairn is a reference to Little Monsters. In the movie, there are flying orbs that appear when Brian and Maurice (who's a friendly monster) first enter the monster underworld, much like when the Dragonborn and Serana (also a friendly monster) first entered the Soul Cairn.
I typed out a whole comment to my Dragonheart theory and now I see you beat me to it your good
The Fountain is f-ing phenomenal and I'll never stand for slander of it
So you'll take it lying down?
