At this point, I think that Imperial Knowledge has made some deal with Sheogorath because no matter how insane the topic is he still always manages to make a madly enjoyable video out of it.
@@whoeverest_the_whateverest Is that what that Allinall video was about? I've always wondered about that. So much esoteric lore man, that I *still* don't know.
As a guy who lives in a temperate rainforest, trees are always interesting. My regions cedars are great artistic material and/or local bug repellent. The hist are very interesting beings. The tree in whiterun was intriguing
These minor pieces of lore are indeed rather fascinating. You do have a skill at making underrated ES topics that would otherwise being boring quite enjoyable. Also, I wonder what would happen if the Graht-oaks and the Hist trees declared war on one another.
Definitely do a video on the Umbriel Crisis. It would probably get a decent amount of views from people who don’t feel like reading the books lol. Also could include a part of speculation about the sleeping tree since Hist ASAP is supposed to have intoxicating effects, but maybe the ones from Oblivion have different effects
I think the theories about the sleeping tree and the basics about Umbriel as well as the new ingenium were already covered plenty by camelworks, but a more detailed video about the story from the books and the historical impacts from the Umbriel crisis would be much needed. These include some very major events that i don't think have been covered outside the books
7:37 the glamorous witches, I love this story line in eso , it was one of the best story that I ever saw and I completed it and given angof the gravesinger a chance of redemption in coldharbur
The instant I got a notification for this, my thoughts went straight to the Hist without even watching yet. It's really only the Hist, the Eldergleam, the Sleeping Tree and Falinesti that have any particular interest to them.
If it wasn't for Lady of Scrolls content, I wouldn't found your channel. I'm glad that I did. You take the lore much more passionately and with dedication. You have my respect.
I’m a new subscriber whose currently binge playing Skyrim and I gotta say your videos are great to explain the rest of the lore that doesn’t get it told the game
I'm sorry if you already covered this topic in one of your videos regarding diseases and sicknesses, but it would be interesting to have a lore video discussing real world medical conditions (like cancer) that appear in the games or lore. If there are even any examples, of course. I could imagine it's most likely a really obscure topic, though, so I completely understand if that's too far of a speculative reach for you to discuss.
That is definitely not too far fetched. I made a video on STDs in TES and several diseases in the past but never on that. Considering previous research experience I think I wont find anything since in terms of diseases almost no real world ones seem to have been carried over by the writers. Likely because TES games can serve as an escape to IRL and the writers would not want to remind people of sad stuff and thus they invent their own diseases. Buuuutttt…. i havent looked into it yet. That is just speculation. i may look into it soon thanks!
I'd personally love to see a video covering both of the elder scrolls novels in depth. If you really want to I think you could get a 3 or 4 part video series out of it. Possibly.
With the amount of time I have that is unfortunately just not on the table. It would likely be a 20 minute video talking about the lore behind it and the basic story Like, spoiler free here in the comments, I’d focus on where umbriel came from, why it came, what happened and in general which characters were important. Id focus almost exclusively on the lore explanations and leave the “and then this character went here” for the book/audiobook (audible pls sponsor me so I can give it for free to people bc the audiobook is decent) I got the feedback that my questline videos are less enjoyable bc I focussed too much on the story rather than lore implications. And I kind of agree with that as by discussing lore implications and general story themes I dont ruin a potential playthrough (or read in this case) of a story
@@ImperialKnowledge Well,I'd still enjoy it all the same. Maybe if have more time in the future you could think about it,till then hope you feel better soon and hopefully life will be a little less stressful for you in the future.👍✌️
I liked the video, but you completely forgot Brackenleaf from ESO. He is a large talking oaktree, who has his own protectors, who take up aspects of the forest as their spirit animals. It's a cool although somewhat outlandish quest.
In Skyrim, I did the quest regarding the Gildergreen only one or two times. *Although*, in over 1,500 hours of gameplay, I always have the mod Gildergreen Regrown installed. Guess the main reason for that is, I can't really decide which outcome I do prefer.
Just wanna say I love this channel, I’ve been playing Skyrim for years and I never thought I would understand a ounce of this franchise fandom now I know every race every country every races real name lost continents extinct peoples shit I know more about Tamriel then our own world sumtimes 😂
I'm exceedingly curious about something I haven't seen ANYONE make a video about: how does nobility work in The Elder Scrolls universe? It's obviously different from our 12th-14th century monarchy systems, but, it seems as though anyone can be a merchant, own land, hire a small army, etc. Is there a metaphorical line drawn? Could anyone potentially own land and run a store? Or is this limited to certain classes (like the Pelagius family)? Im sure there an easier way to ask this, but I wanted to make sure I was clear. Lol
Refering to your "The History of Tamriel - Introduction...", as time continues, would the people of the empire/tamriel recognize your character as dragonborn and try to throne the dragonborn? It would be done rightfully so right? The emperor was assasinated in ES5 (in the lore not sure if it was still "you" (the dragon born) or the brother hood alone) regardless, as time were to continue, the question is: Will the dragonborn of ES5 be throned?
Pretty sure the eldergleam tree is one of the oldest living creatures in Tamriel if not Nirn as a whole. It wasn't brought as a sapling by men as it pre-dates any known races in Skyrim
I thought the same until I found this dialogue which you get if you approach danica after getting the rumor from an innkeeper that she wants the sap: It's an old tree. Very old. They say it was a seedling when the first men were arriving from Atmora, thousands of years ago. The sap is precious. It can restore barren fields or bring life to rocks. I can use it to repair the Gildergreen, so we can worship properly again
Oh seems like my earlier reply wasn't posted. Maybe cuz of the dialogue that I shared with source link. Anyways I couldn't find that dialogue of bringing the seedling from Atmora.. Perhaps that comes from a mod like immersive npc dialogues or something. But the actual dialogue I remember from the quest as well as the one I shared that didn't post has her saying the tree is the oldest living creature in Skyrim, pre-dating men & elves, which is why their metals can't harm it. The seedling that does get planted when Atmorans began settling Skyrim was the gildergleam in whiterun. And the sapling for that was gotten from the eldergleam What's so special about this tree? "To the east of here is a hidden grove where the Eldergleam resides. It's the oldest living thing in Skyrim. Maybe all of Tamriel. Our tree here in the city was grown from a cutting of that tree." What kind of weapon would work? "Eldergleam is older than metal, from a time before man or elves. To even affect it, you have to tap into the old magic."
Could you make a video explaining the religion and the group introduced in the creation club mod “Ghosts of the Tribunal”? Ik the mod isn’t canon but i figure the lore of the group and the gods are still canon
@@ImperialKnowledge I've thought about it a bit more. So nuts are edible seeds, and fruits *contain* seeds. I suppose they _could_ refer to the seed inside the fruit as a "nut", but this defies convention since edible seeds in fruits are usually just called seeds. See: pumpkin seeds. Another possibility is that it's like almond trees: the immature form of the seed is called a "fruit" and the mature form is referred to as a "seed", but this is the only time I'm aware of something like that happening, and I'm not sure that it's _technically_ accurate to call it fruit. I hadn't considered your solution but that *also* makes sense as a possibility.
Sometimes I just think of stupid topics which I will never do only to discover they would make legitimately interesting videos.
It's ok trees be mystical and cool
Hey I'm here for lore and this is lore. It's also a good chunk of Tree lore I didn't even know existed and that's always a huge win.
Could you do a lore video on cadwell from elder scrolls online/ elder scrolls online Elswyer I believe he’d make a great video
Can you please cover the Daedra next? Or there dimension?
At this point, I think that Imperial Knowledge has made some deal with Sheogorath because no matter how insane the topic is he still always manages to make a madly enjoyable video out of it.

Just love the Elder Scrolls lore and your videos on them, no matter how odd. Can't wait for the next chapter in eso 😄
GEOLOGY! What are the rocks of Tamriel made of? Are there fossils? This must be discussed.
Fossils…. I have no idea… but I want to know now…
"I say, Holmes, what kind of rocks do they have in Morrowind?"
"Sedimentary, my dear Watson."

Your videos feel like the subjekt in school where you don't learn something about a special topic like math, but something about everything. :D
Thank you for making this interesting lore video about trees! 🌲
I hope you get well soon
I've heard it said that the Hist trees might be a form of daedric entity. That might be worth looking into.
cant watch it now but will save it on my tes playlist for later, as they say best for last! thank you so much
Skyrim's lore is always interesting.
What about the rest of the games
@@EA_SP0RTCENTER The other games have cool lore as well.
What's next? a lore video about Skeevers?
Your videos are always interesting.
Thanks. Was a good summary even if the sets were boring.
love your vids, they are different, in a good way, keep it up!
9:06 damn 😨🤯
Make an indepth lore video about various TES cities' plumbing infrastructure next.
A surprisingly interesting topic. The flaw would be mainly on Bethesda's side for not giving us more lore.
I enjoyed the novels but it got a bit confusing at times, so I definitely hope you do a vid on the crisis some time.
I'm interested in anything Hist related.
Sooo cool!
