  • Skyrim is a place of magic and mystery, a land that all sorts of creatures and strange beings call home. Perhaps one of the strangest types of characters the Dragonborn encounters in The Elder Scrolls 5 are vampires. Indeed, Skyrim and the rest of Tamriel are crawling with these monstrous, immortal beings. Throughout or journey, we’ll interact with quite a few, some vampires are kind, some are hostile, some are mischievous but nearly all these sharp-toothed fellows have interesting tales surrounding them. So today we’ll be taking a close look at five of the most intriguing vampires in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

    Serana has a unique line of dialogue when you approach dwemer ruins where she'll say something along the lines of "This was a dwarven city, hard to believe they'd let it fall into this state.." inclining one to believe she was alive when there were still dwemer in Tamriel.

    Honestly, Hert and Hern are two of the most interesting because they have an actual business in Skyrim.
    Yeah, they obviously feed on travellers but they still have a pretty normal life, all things considered, especially because they're a married couple. They don't dress in black, constantly seek to create hives of thralls - they just own a Mill.
    I don't know if they're doing it as a ploy or they do genuinely love that simple life and only use their vampiric powers when they have to but I wish there was so much more with them. I find them such intriguing and mysterious characters.

He's just not much of a thinker, and only would have gotten Vampires wiped out had he succeeded. You ever wonder why his Daedric Lord was remarkably silent on the whole plot to end the sun thing? Why he seemed fine with you becoming a Vampire Lord and doing nothing to help Harkon at all? There you go, because he knew Harkon was wrong and needed to die.

    Dengeir’s relative IS a Volkihar and this is actually confirmed. I went to Bloodlet Throne without being given the quest (until I saw this video I didn’t know there was a quest), and if you don’t have the quest, the vampire sitting in the throne at the end is simply identified as “Volkihar vampire.” And I didn’t have Dawnguard installed at the time, so you can bet I was a little confused!

      Shoes are relatively small, useful to keep around, and are a very personal item to take from a victim. Shoes are a common item collected by serial killers. Its a trophy thing. Like how humans collect bunny feets and antlers from our own prey. And how the more ancient peoples of earth/old fashioned tribal people like native americans today use hooves as colletion items or instruments.

    • @charlesafonso5567
      @charlesafonso5567 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bloodletting Throne is the OG fort of Harkon, He was a noble from Falkreath and after the ritual with Molag Bal he started his Volkhar clan there... after some time he moved to the island we know as Volkhar Castle, His inner circle followed him, but some rebels refused and stayed in the fort with Vighar as his leader. That's why in "immortal blood" they talk about the "under the ice Volkhar", the ones in the Bloodlet fort are the only ones know for society. The Originals Harkon Volkhar stayed hidden until the events of the Dawnguard DLC. And the Bloodlet fort vampires get almost exterminated by the old dawnguard, who couldn't kill Vighar because he's a Vampire lord (gifted by Harkon) so they sealed Vighar....
      That's my headcannon interpretation.

    It is explained how Vyrthur got turned into a vampire, he tells Serana himself. One of his initiates (some kind of apprentice priest or something) was apparently a vampire. He probably made the water jug pilgrimage, like you did, which granted him the audience with the Arch-Curate, as Gelebor tells you. And then he probably attacked and thus infected Vyrthur.

    Uuuuuh.... Nate, I think you might have missed something. Vighar does actually speak during this. It might not happen in the Vanilla game, but I run with the mod "Cutting room floor" which might have added his dialogue back in. Anyway, when you get up close to him, the vampire woman beside him will say something like, "Intruders, my Lord," to which Vighar replies, "Hold, my dear. Let the dogs take care of it." To which the wolves are released from their cage. I know it has little bearing on the rest of the theory, but this interaction is rather interesting, as it shows that there might be some familiarity between Vighar and his clanswoman. Perhaps she was even the one who dug him up?

    My theory about the bloodlet throne vs Castle Volkihar is that both are clan volkihar, with Harkon ruling from the clans original Stronghold after conquering its original inhabitants, since his take over the clan split and now has two branches. One follows Harkon, a vampire of pure blood from Molag Bal, and the other is at Bloodlet throne, being descended from Lamae Bal herself as ALL vampire clans come from her blood. Harkon also was probably part of the Gray Host given his age, and Serana even hints that she predates the Cyrodilic empire as she doesnt know that Cyrodil is the seat of power, so she at the least predates Tiber Septim, and the most predates Reman Cyrodil himself.

    Honestly, I liked Vyrthur a bit more too. In fact, I kind of like the Snow Elves. It's a shame they're almost all dead.

      Technically there are thousands of them around if not more. The Falmer didn't disappear or die out they just became a little less impressive than their ancestors. Just walk into any random cave or Dwemer ruin in Skyrim, chock full of Falmer they are.

      @@no1ofconsequence936 Still it begs the question, the Falmer must have had a very high birth rate even before their fall. Considering the sheer population of Falmer ingame. Makes you wonder if selective breeding could restore them to a semblance of their former selves. Select mating pairs based on size, intelligence , and other desirable factors. They obviously still maintain their ancestors inclination for magic. As magic users are common Falmer enemy types.

      @@clothar23 , I suppose it's possible, but I don't know who would be inclined to do it. The Thalmor maybe, but they would just as likely want to wipe them out. In any case, I probably would like it if the Snow Elves made a comeback for a later installment of the Elder Scrolls (though probably much later, as I can imagine that taking quite a while).

    Something that's easy to miss : Vyrthur reveals it was he who let the devolved Falmer into the Chantry to annihilate the last enclave of his race.

    Well if you listen to Serana during the quest beyond death she mentions the inhabitants of the castle used the undercroft”to deliver supplies”.I think harkon left his home underneath the ice and took over the castle in skyrim
