In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we delve into Hircine.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

I think of all the planes of oblivion, Hircine's sounds the nicest to spend the afterlife in
Kai 016 sanguine ' realm is ok
Hell verminas sounds nice if she'll let you sleep peacefully but otherwise hircine is the way to go
I'm not sure eternally being hunted is nice
@@the_dropbear4392 no it's not but eternally hunting is the more ideal situation
@@bishop2286 problem is that with Hircine, the hunters and hunted often become one and the same
One of the few Daedric princes that I would gladly serve, because he genuinely cares for his hunters.
World Man As do I brother.
Hunt Well.
Yeah he’s like the only deadric prince I like.
Does he? I killed hunters, then also skinned the guy whom they hunted before his eyes and he commented just on hunters...
World Man if I ended up in the elder scrolls universe, I’d probably end up serving Hircine and start exporting dwarven ruins just for the thrill of hunting for ancient knowledge. And for the thrill of hunting for loot.
@@joshuahunt3032 sounds more like you're a server of hermaus mora. Hircine wants to hunt prey.
The only Daedric Prince who would genuinely congratulate a mortal for besting him and let them walk free.
If the hunted bests a hunter, there is no higher display of cunning.
If the hunter is bested by the hunted then he was simply the hunted all along either way the hunt is carried out
@@lordcommissar7813 Not always. If the hunter messes up, the hunted has a shot at hunting the hunter.
@@princessbinas yep exactly that's why he's my favorite
@jackasaurus Exactly.
Molag Bal too
I like Hircine because he isn't biased. You see in Skyrim that if you kill Sinding, he congratulates you for the hunt, and if you kill the hunters, he's even more proud because you turned the tables against them.
if you kill the hunters, youll get the ring, and then if you go back kill Sinding and return, you get the hide. pog
That's why it is said, hircine care more about how the hunt goes rather than the trophy
Hircine is great if you were to try and trick molag bal he would tell you to get in the van but hircine is the one that actually gives out candy
@@_b_e_a_n_s_ I didn't know you could get both rewards might try it later
@@karlrichards7188Hide looks better on female Dovahkiin if not a bit forswornish.
So Hircine and Kynareth are chill with each other? Makes perfect sense since Kynareth embodies the beautiful side of nature and Hircine embodies the savage side of it. You can’t have one without the other
If I recall correctly, Azura and Kynareth helped Hircine with his revenge of Nirni's death. Although Azura was involved, she decided to involve herself more with the emerging mer races, specifically the Dunmer. This left the dying form of Nirni to drain of all remaining life, until Kynareth and Hircine interrupted. Iffir, the God that killed Nirni had created much of the wildlife that was and remains part of Nirni, or Nirn. With his corruption, so to were his creations, so, Hircine and Kynareth siphoned away all of his power, using some of it to stabilize the existence of Nirn, while maintaining both the savage and tranquil sides of nature.
Basically, Kynareth and Hircine are two adoptive co parents.....who are actually functional.
I think every Daedric prince at some point was like: So why did we curse Jyggalag again? Because this guy is not better.
Sort of like what im betting Thanos thought after cursing deadpool with eternal life.
Jyggalag kept invading them and trying to enslave them though,
It's like choosing between living in a building with a landlord that's a literal cartel boss who frequently extorts you for money, beats you up, threatens to kill you or your family and just uses your house and property as if it was his
OR
Being in a poorly administered complex with your own space, lax rent and cheap electric bill, but having an unstable mentality impaired meth addict that loudly chews on stucco at 3 am living above you, who MIGHT occasionally take a dump in the hallway.
Now I'm not saying that the meth addict is a charming fellow, but at least he won't try to sell your organs or use you as a drug mule.
@Alexandru Guzzonato There's almost no lore about Jyggalag, the majority of these videos and what we can say for certain about him is near nonexistant, but I'd say he had to be doing some pretty serious stuff to have all the other Princes co-operate on something.
The big question that comes up is how exactly he expanded his territory, we have nearly no information about that.
My take is that he invaded and subjugated other realms (some Princes have multiple smaller realms like Sanguine and others are just ripe for the picking) which pushed them to act as he would in time subsume all. He may never have gotten around to invading the realms of princes but other powers hold sway in Oblivion with their own realms, who are used by others all the time.
We know some Daedra are no strangers to war and conquest (Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal for example) and given the nature of Greymarch it's clear he was no stranger to it either.
Greymarch itself actually gives credence to this; the Knights of Order are aware that an external force has invaded their realm, which tells me Daedra can and do pull shit like sometimes.
If they did it on Nirn, why not to each other in Oblivion? What happened during the Oblivion Crisis could realistically occur between rival Daedric Planes.
The nature of his Daedra also leads me to believe they are more than strange, as they seem to be "blank" or washed out husks with no individual will or direction.
We have a pretty clear picture of Divine nature in that Daedric Princes and Gods can't really "Die" in the typical sense, but they can be warped into something completely different (Trinimac into Malacath). It stands to reason that the Princes were scared of being turned, losing themselves and falling under the heel of ultimate order (a concept tied with Anu) much like his blank knights.
Lastly, I'd call into question his own statements, which form the basis of almost all of the concrete lore surrounding him.
His own narrative and perspective paints him as a relatively benign victim of jealous rivals, but how accurate is that really? Even the kindest and most passive of Princes do some messed up shit, somehow I doubt he'd be an exception.
No regrets Man, now they have more *cheese* .
I guess they didn't think it through. But hey, at least they can laugh in hindsight.
Really hope we see Hircine and his plane of Oblivion in TES 6
lorewise, valenwood should be brimming with werewolves. And I mean cmon it's valenwood, huge ass forest, lotta hunter bosmers, he must have a fair amount of followers there.
@@nocsiou but TES6 ain't in Valenwood? At least not if the teaser was anything to go by
Good opportunity to make a randomly generated area with a hunting minigame
treymtz it does look like vallenwood unless the camera is a lot closser than I thought it is, wich would mean those aren't trees at all and then it's one of the probably shittiest locations it could possible be in, elsewyr or hammerfell, boring desert. Who knows tho it could even be akavir, or maybe cyrodiil again, I wouldn't oppose the idea of playing in a bigger cirodiil, closer to the actual one, but am putting my bets on valenwood and I hope it'll be so. If they really make it in a desert I will be very dissapointed
Get to see it in the Wolfhunter DLC in ESO. You actually participate in a Wild Hunt.
I love that khajjit can turn into werewolves
Catdog!
Will Khajiit werewolves have kittens or puppies? O.o
Werecat
Ikr, i love talking to a guard that asks "is that fur coming out of your ear?" All i can think of is "obviously dumbass im a cat person lol"
When you think about it, is it really any more logical for a human (a primate) to turn into a werewolf?
Hircine, to me, is fascinating, as his whole deal seems to be the duality of man and beast, seen most literally through his Lycanthropes, but also his appearance, being an amalgamation of a Man and Deer, damn I love Hircine!
I mean, obviously, his sphere is the Hunt, but the aspect of Duality is my favourite part, I think.
His appearance as a mix of man and Deer is based off of an ancient Celtic God who commanded the wild hunt.
That’s cool, thanks for telling me!
@@Dragonbard No problem.
He's definitely one of the few daedra I put effort into following in game.
"The tip broke off and remained lodged inside him, it began to corrupt him with bitterness and rage". Accidentally clicked ahead and that was the first line i heard lmao.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When the dildo gets stuck
This is why sheogorath is my favorite daederic prince. He literally used a tiny colorful bird to kill a ferocious daedroth. He’s so unpredictable and funny.
basicnerd0728 he's definitely a fun one...
But he can shove that wabbajack up a dragon's ass, I hate that fucking staff.
The wabbajack... that brings back memories. I accidentally hit my follower and lost a bunch of good gear and a couple thousand in trading items. And I once turned a wolf into a hostile dremora. On the other hand, I’ve turned bandits into chickens too.
Hes a shity leader tho.
PhantomDragon1992, why would you hate a wonderful item like Wabbajack? The more randomness the better!
I made a small mod to allow me to obtain unobtainable enchantments, and put more enchantments on a given item. Now, even without that mod active anymore, one of my characters (appropriately named "Chaos"), has two Wooden Swords with all the chaotic effects Skyrim has to offer. Those who strike him take damage themselves, the waters of the land repels him and offensive magic replenishes him. He is the true god of chaos in Skyrim.
But what about what he did to Malacath? Or how he tells you to kill one of his most loyal servants just to prove that he/you are in charge.
Hm looks like I miss judged Hircine. Even his plane of Oblivion actually sounds pleasant to spend your afterlife
Jericho Strayker until you realize you are constantly being hunted.
Constantly hunting and being hunted
Didn't say it was for everyone
@@shaunbowen3308 but you are also the hunter. Hircine changes up the cycle. One minute your prey the next your predator.
Wait if your constantly being hunted what happens when you die are you just remade in Hircine's plane of oblivion or just gone forever
Hircine the only deadric prince that’ll give you a fair fight which is one of the reasons why he’s my favorite prince.
Because a Hunt is only worthy if the prey has a fair chance.
If not, then it's just a slaughter;
Not a hunt.
Love the look of Hircine, sort of reminds me of the leshens from the witcher!
Elias Rispling YESSSS!!
A nog to the old pantheons of Celtic.
Look into Cernunnos. :D
Leshans are also known as spriggans circles within circles
Aaaayyyyy!!!!! My man!!!👍😎
"Hircine the FAIREST" I thought you meant most attractive and I clicked on the video based on that... My opinion still stands that he is the hottest, but he is also the fairest.
Same lol
I my opinion Sheogorath is the hottest
@@martvinegar3431 Sheogorath has style, but Hircine has natural... hottness...
yall sleeping on my bro Peryite... dude's known for giving them ladies the hysteria just with a look
@@ceasefire2825 He's also known for making people projectile vomit
Hircine is a good boi.
Leon Aventus begs to differ
@@yulilisantimel2793 he stole the ring
Thank you, kind hunter.
@@hircine9919 should've told him to start running, lol
Wolves actually very rarely attack humans. Mountain lions are a different story, however.
Daniel Mack eh, try walking into a pack of wolves at night, they will tear you apart, they usually don't attack unless they have numbers, regardless, not a lot of people travel in forests at night, but it's not uncommon to get attacked by wolves, Mountain lions are more aggressive, true.
That's not necessarily true it depends on the Range as well for example wolves in Europe specifically northern Europe are far more aggressive and have attacked and killed many people even eaten many people then again they're all so far larger than most North American Wolves however there are species of wolves in America that are responsible for several human deaths such as the Yukon wolf or the Mackenzie Valley wolf
Brian Smith there’s this thing, which was an AMAZING invention when it was invented. That thing is punctuation, I think you could use it some time.
We Are Venom Wolves have a respect system. If you are viewed as weak by wolves, you will be attacked. However, for every attack story, there is another story of men living peacefully side by side with wolves.
In Europe prior to effectively wiping out all predators and wild spaces European wolves and lions did hunt humans regularly. We didn't become the undisputed apex predator of the planet until rifling was commonplace on our firearms in the 19th century.
I'm curious about his relationship with Kynerath. They would seem to be allies or counterparts but then you see how hag ravens treat sprigans.
Poorly Made Bot but Hagravens are all about the magics within the souls of beasts and man and such. Whereas the Sprigins are just the blind guardians of the forests.
Druids vs Ecofanatics
Way I see is that Hircine is more about the exploitation of nature rather than being a part of it. Periryte is the Daedric prince of the natural order which would probably go better with Kyne than Hircine's realm. Hircine is all about the thrill of the hunt, rather than the necessity of hunting.
@@johndanes2294 yet he says to never waste the spoils of the hunt, so it is also not just hunting for the killing
Hirccine likes to "explore" kynareth's domain
If you get my meaning kek
@@skeelachan7586 we'd all like to "explore" Kynareths domain let's be honest...
He is the never ending cycle that is hunter and hunted. Whether people realise it or not his very aspect runs through a lot of things. For warriors the hunt for greater challenges, rogues the hunt for adventure and treasures, mages the hunt for knowledge, even to the political world the hunt for secrets against ones enemy.
Hircine would be the only deadra lord besides nocturnal that I'd serve freely and probably malacath.
I think Boethiah is one I’d serve freely.
I honestly would serve Meridia too. She isn't perfect but there are far worse options out there( Molag Bal the rape lord)
*My favorite Prince.*
Same I've liked him since I was little even though I no hunter I found Hircine *fascinating*
- Hears Skyrim intro.
- Me: "Hey, you! You were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there!...
Damn you stormcloaks, everything was fine until you came along, empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and been halfway to hammerfell
We're all brothers and sisters in binds now thief!
What's wrong with him, huh?
Hold your tongue! You're speaking to Ulfric, TRUE High King of Skyrim!
@@johnheslin6914 Ulfric? The jarl of windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion if they captured you oh gods where are they takeing us?
Everyone’s favorite guild member probably worships this daedric prince. (Aela the Huntress)
Not probably but definitely, since if you get the totems for her she starts worshipping it.
Hircine reminds me of a less benevolent version of LOTR's Orome. Orome, also known as the hunter, the rider, and the Lord of Forest, is among the Valar. Hircine and Orome share a very similar sphere of influence, but Orome works to aid those that dwell in his sphere, which is inherently dangerous to mortals.
Hircine is nither good nor evil
@@thewolfpaladin1858 never said he was either, just saying Orome is inherently good, while Hircine is more bound by self-interest and the interest of his sphere, hence "less benevolent"
Its so weird to think Drew wasnt always part of Fudgemuppet! i absolutely love his videos
He was always part. Just behind the scenes.
All glory to Hircine, the greatest of the princes.
Hircine is very similar to the Celtic god Cernunnos a humanoid deer a wild god the hunter and protector of the wild things. To disrespect his domain and creatures is to know nature's wrath. The arrogant is who he hunts both man fairy and gods. The wild hunt is Cernunnos day you will hunt or become a beast to hunt. Like I said very very similar I liked the video.
Yes I agree. They are both cool. But many Europe country forget his existence.
It’s possible that many of the daedric princes are based on mythical beings. Like you said it’s a pretty uncanny resemblance between Hiricine and Cernunnos. Perhaps the other princes have real life counterparts as well?
So in Celtic history it's more an anti-poaching scarecrow than "everything hunt everything", like it
Tyler McKernan well hermaus mora have influences from lovecraft
I worship Cernunnos because he represents the values I admire highly. The duality of animal and man. The beast and tamed. The understanding and respect to the natural world. It's where we all come from and we shouldn't forget it.
Hircine: That foolish Sheogorath dares to chellange me? I am gonna send my best warecreature to fight in this battle!
Sheogorath: Imma send a bird
Hircine: You wot mate?
Hircine - The Deadric Prince of Furries
Sucks because I used to like werewolves and think they were cool, but now I have to like vampires because werewolves have the furry connection lmao.
"It sucks because I have to stop liking things if someone else might think it means I like things that I don't."
Furry detected
What's wrong with furries? Furries have been around for thousands of years.
Silent Wolf I won't deny it.
Ill serve him if there is a were chicken transformation
Queen from Snow White: "Mirror, mirror on the wall...who's the fairest one of all?"
Mirror: "Hircine".
Queen: "..wh..what?"
Mirror: "Daedric Prince of the Hunt"
Queen: "No I meant in terms of looks and...
Mirror: "By the way, he chose you as the target of this era's Blood Moon hunt, so good luck with that."
*werewolves howling in the distance
Queen: "Shit..."
May the odds be ever in your favour
Hircine is base on Cernunnos
The wild god of Celtic.
Hircine worn or has a deer skull for a hat or head. Cernunnos Are call the horned god for a reason. Hail ancient pantheons
Blessed be
He also was a hunter and fair to nature , and the wild wood was his realm as well as having a wild hunt
I would rather be a follower of hircine and nocturnal than the other daedric princes and stand tall with my head facing forward
I would want to be a warrior of boethiah that always participates in those ten bloods tournaments
*"Predator or Prey,* _Live For The Hunt"_

Hydrogen One “I’m going to give it to you”

Lord Hircine would probably have punished me for going on a killing spree rather than hunting.
Serial killer are just hunters with different prey
As someone who loves werewolves in general and is fascinated by the werecreatures of Tamriel, I adore Hircine. He is the only god my Dragonborn worships.
My character worships mainly Talos and Hircine but recognizes all the divines.
"Hircine left to his realm swearing in forgotten tongues" rofl.
I just hope we get to see him fight molag bal
Hircine, The Father of Manbeasts, my favourite Daedric Prince, thanks Fudgemuppet, you’ve definitely delivered.
A dude who lets me grow my hair out, lets me eat as much as I want, who lets me just be left alone in my shack to eat some yummy rabbits, fish and bears. Also rewards being a creative hunter as well. Also, not inherently evil and just seems like a chill dude.
I've always loved Hircine the most, myself. Always loved being in nature.
And that's why Hircine is the best of the best
Hircine is one of the fairest, Malacath is fair too.
Hircine, Malacath, and Nocturnal are nither good nor evil the are neutral
TheWolfPaladin 1 Malacath’s sphere is about keeping your word and pariahs. He also got a code. He create a weapon that is so powerful against Daedra lore wise, that it was only in Morrowind. Malacath doesn’t want to destroy or take over the world. He is the least evil of House Of Troubles.
I know how to kill Sheggorath's bird. The Daedroth lost because Daedroths have no intelligence, just mindless rage beings. A human werewolf could've taken the bird. Now the catch here is that I as my human werewolf character still couldn't kill it with tooth and claw either. You see, it's not a trial by combat, nor is it a hunt. Sheggorath loves puzzles that toy with the mind of his enemies, and that's what the bird is. My strategy is a grueling and unpleasant process,just how Sheggorath would want it, but it's the only way I can see to guarantee victory. Gorge yourself before the fight, and when the bird lands on your nose, wait. lie down immobile and wait. a human being starves to death in 25- 35 days. A bird however, (at least the class of bird described in the lore, not large birds of prey) starves to death in a mere 2 to 3. You'll have to starve yourself for 3 days, but in the end victory is yours.
Careful with the glue though, if it cures early that's a nightmare to get out of your hair. If it does work though just swat the bird like a mosquito no need for starvation. I was also thinking you could lie still like a scarecrow, but with your jaws open. I've seen people catch birds by scarecrow posing before, but if it happens to land in your mouth as a werewolf, yomp.
So you going to make a plan for a guy described as being unpredictble to best a creature you have no beforehand knowledge about?
Honestly, I think ignoring the bird or throwing chunks of poisoned bread at the bird would have been for the best.
@@hakasek4052 animals usually walk into the mouths of predators indeed
Yes that was sarcasm
I can't wait to see all the awesome Daedric quest we will do in The Elder Scrolls 6. I just hope I'll live to see the game come out, it feels like we are waiting an eternity for that game. Still though I don't want them to rush out the game and have it turn out to be just a copied and pasted version of Skyrim but in another province.
Wampa Stompa1996 I honestly think Bethesda lost its touch with writing decent or intriguing quest. I blame time constraints and suits but their could be fault in Bethesda too.
They need to make a game where you can travel to all the Big citys and make it where theres more NPC's that are not important
It would be cool but its elder scrolls where everyone minus beggars own a house. Plus i bet people would complain if people look almost the exact same.
Isn't ES6 coming out in 2019?
i would see it coming out sooner than 2022 for Bethesda has a pattern of announcing games around a year or two year at most release date.
*Timmy dies of the flu.*
“Damn faeries.”
Hircine has always been my favourite Daedra. In almost every play though I have become a werewolf, simply for the thrill of the power and the hunt.
The first signs of being a furry right here
If I was in skyrim I would follow hircine
Hircine didn't even get mad when you chose not to kill Sinding. 10/10 would serve in the afterlife
He was actually *happy* that you beat him.
A Daedric prince got his ass handed to him by a mortal, and not only wasn't pissed off or butthurt, but was actually gracious to and proud of that mortal.
Hircine is worthy of Worship, despite, or perhaps because, he never asks for it.
Hircine is absolutely my favourite daedric prince. I love hunting, i love good sportsmanship, i love werewolves. If i lived in tes universe i would probably be his worshipper, haha. He's such a nice guy.
The Vigilants of Stendarr would like to know your location*
I love Lord Hircine. His rule is that of the natural order, sifting out the weak from the strong in fair hunt. And I'm a sucker for Werewolves... X3
are we going on a business trip wolf daddy?
Miner Moleman Yes papa
Will you guys cover what very little we know of Jyggalag?
@Jaster Mereel Meh. He wasn't really an asshole, just much better at everything and they got jealous lol
@Lost Khajiit
He out drank them all, so they challenged him to the ultimate drinking contest, it was so mental he fractured in two
Jyggalag, of course, the prince of Order was the strongest Daedric Lord . The others had feared his power and basically broke him . He states this in Oblivion.
I know the other stated it but eh stating it again.
@Lost Khajiit Well he is made of crystal
My upmost favorite Daedric Prince!
HAIL HIRCINE!
Really hope you read this, but since nothing is confirmed for es6 such as it's location, I think there was another hint in skyrim telling you where it is... ya know when the redguards show up looking for that girl? Well they want to take her back to hammerfell, where she committed treason selling out a city to the dominion. There's a lot of small tid bits of info that I feel are there actually about the next game. One being hammerfell and the other where he talks that about the resistance against the dominion is alive and strong in hammerfell.
Now we have almost the same encounter and hint on fallout 3 about fallout 4s location and plot. You get contacted by the institute, to return a synth to him so he can take it back to the commonwealth, and then the railroad wants you to help him escape from him. This is basically half of the main plot in fallout 4.
Now obviously this is speculation since nothing is confirmed, but I truly believe this was hinted for a reason. 90% after the teaser we got shows hammerfell, I just believe this is the icing on the cake.
Like if you read this entire comment.
There are quests that related to many provinces, that is just one.
@@the_dropbear4392 Well Hammerfell is the province referenced the most in Skyrim.
@@fenrisvermundr2516

would you guys ever think about doing more obscure lore like lessons of vivec
"Daedrologist" lol
I was wandering if you can make a video about the likelihood of the dragonborn not taking any side in the civil war and after the events of the main story killing Paarthurnax and joining the blades restoring it to it's former glory in the shadows to someday build a new empire, ruled by his blood line with the long lost (found) amulets of kings and how this would create a great setting for Elder Scrolls 6 with you playing as one of dragonborn's blood kin?
“Hircines connection to the cultural phenomenon known as the wild hunt-“
*Geralt intensifies*
This was a really cool video, I'm basically addicted to this channel now. Elder scrolls lore is so intriguing
I know this is super late but i wonder how the blood moon affects regular kahjeets
"Well met hunter!!
I seriously love the way yall present elderscrolls. Very informative
A great insight into my favourite daedric prince, not to mention a lot of interesting and relevant ideas that correlate with one another - icing on the cake being Drew commentating and genuinely seems to know what he’s talking about, I love it thank you!!
What about that new DLC in The Elder Scrolls Online... the one about Hircine!
ESO does a good job of vilifying Hircine, which I personally believe is the most honest depiction of him: a complete douchebag who respects nothing else but his hunt.
I even have to disagree with his realm being nice. If you aren't 1000% on-board with Hircine's hunt, then being stuck in the hunting grounds for eternity would suck. No love, no art, no relaxation, just hunting.
I would much prefer the sands behind the stars, Llesw'er. Reconvening with loved ones, infinite sweets that never give you toothache or make you fat, and an on-going party that you can go to or come from at will.
Baracuta Soo deep.. This made me cry, good job!
My favorite daedric prince is Molag B.... oh wait he's a rapist.
Drew this has to be the BEST video of yours I’ve ever seen! Very well done sir!
One of the best vids on the channel. Keep em coming Drew!
Hircine is a Daedric Prince you should worship
Hircine, the daedric prince of honor
By far the best lore video on Hircine! Thank you!
This was such an enjoyable video. You have a real talent for the narrative.
As a Celtic Pagan; I thank you for this Drew 👏 This Deadra is such a good representation of Cernunnos.
skelitonking117 I was JUST thinking this sounded like cernunnos. I’m non-denominational pagan myself, and cernunnos was really present in the back of my head as I watched this.
“As a Celtic Pagan”
YES.
The Erlking. Neat.
skelitonking117 lol
Why couldn't you identify as something real.....like....
A human being
I would serve him gladly besides who wouldn't want to turn into a bigass wolf when they were angry
Me.
It'd be irresponsible and reckless, and not all anger is justified.
But you be his lapdog after you die
I wouldn't, seems painful and not really useful (unless you want to go on killing sprees), you also become the eternal servant of Hircine.
However if I didn't have a choice then I guess I could live with it.
This was simply beautiful. To add an analysis of real folklore just adds to the quality of the experience. Thank you.
I love your voice and the way you talk about topics... It's clear that you know what you are talking about and you make it twice as interesting as it already is
Not that it matters even in-universe, since the Daedra choose their avatars and all, but it always kind of irks me that I can never tell if Hircine's avatar is supposed to be a man with a deer's skull for a head or a man wearing a deer's skull as a mask.
Odin's weapon is the spear Gungnir though. I'd say it serves little purpose to try to escape the reach of a magical spear capable of piercing anything and never missing its mark. =p
You are the only reason why i follow this channel. Great video again!
Y'know, I'm really glad someone organized all this guy's lore videos by subject in a playlist. This is great content.

Hircine is probably my second favorite Deadra, just for inventing werewolves.
Speaking of which, my first fave, Boethiah, is not above underhanded murder as you claim. Sure he she enjoys single combat, but so long as one grows strong as another dies, Boethiah is pleased. Whether that be through a noble sword, poisonous dagger, silver tongue, magical spell or far arrow. That's why she sends you to HUNT DOWN and ASSASSINATE her former champion. Her realms of influence are, after all, "deceit, conspiracy, secret plots of murder, assassination, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority"
I love how every artifact is a piece of the prince him/herself but hircine is just like: "fuck it, I'll literally give you my hide"
I really love your video's I just found them today and love sitting and listening to them. I look forward to seeing more of them. :)
You literally venture into the Hunting Grounds in ESO. You get up close and personal with it's environments and creatures. Yet you just show scenes from the Hircine quest that took place in Skyrim. Why do you guys still refuse to use footage from ESO? The game is 100% canon.
Because it's shitty.
How so?
@@LeoNardo-lb1ij it's like a watered down, always online skyrim. I just didn't find it enjoyable.
Well there you go. You went into it thinking it's Skyrim Online. That was your first mistake.
@@LeoNardo-lb1ij nope I played ESO first, it felt like skyrim online after I played skyrim.
At first I thought it was a generic mmo with an ES skin.
Excuse me sir, can I have a moment of your time to talk about our Lord and savior Hircine?
That's a funny way to spell Cernunnos
Great video, as always! Hircine is a really great prince, and he's inspired some of my NPC villains
Tying in-game lore into real-world mythology brings this video to a whole new level. Not only do I like Hircine even better now, but I also learned about cultures besides my own! Phenomenal work!
praise lord Hircine and the Hunt
Awwwwooooooo
CommanderM117 I guess we can agree on something
9:05 I guess that guy was looking at his smartphone while walking on the edge of the cliff.....
Great video. Hircine was always my favorite next to Nocturnal.
Daedric prince of sport
Hey the whole stand your ground part if Hircine DOES work in real life. I was charged at by my old neighbors dog when I was 12. It was a chow mix and I was terrified to say the least. But I just kept repeating in my head "don't move" and screamed bloody murder for help. Luckily they owners were home and the dog cane as soon as it was called.
There's truth in stories.
Also there was another but I knew the other dog and he just ran around like a goof. 😅
You said Hircine isn't a trickster, but through the glenmora witches he tricked the companions into becoming lycans, and half of hunting is tricky by its nature. Lay out some food, and a trap and wait for an animal to fall for it.
The Glenmoril witches tricked the Companions not Hircine, you even have a quest that kills them. Not gonna say much because Spoilers.
Because the glemoril witches had used trickery Hircine allow you to hunt them down it may have just taken a lot of Circle members to realize this. becuase Hircine doesnt help them in anyway when you come Teeth and claws Slashing.
Hircine doesn't do anything to stop you when go to free Kodlak's Lycanthorpy neither.
May the gods bless this channel. I love it
Thank you fudgemuppet! As all ways great vid
Mind you, this is the guy, who thought that cursed ring would work on non-werewolf and congradulated Dragonborn on killing hunters, who hunted said werewolf, right when Dragonborn was skinning said werewolf, whom they also killed right after the hunters.
That's a glitch but I see your point hircine rewards the most skilled hunter so he would be impressed with what you do either way
Or disgusted... I'd be disgusted. My Lorkhan... eh, I mean, Dragonborn, wasn't a very nice person. Is any Dragonborn a nice person though?
@@TheArklyte mine is or atleast towards the end game he is in the beginning his kind of a cocky bastard but still good at heart
@@TheArklyte you and I would be disgusted but I think hircine would like it he just wants a good show
This video has a FAIR amount of likes 👌
Peryite used turberculosis on a werewolf it was super affective
This video brings me back nostalgia from when I beat the blood moon dlc a few months ago
