I really like how in Skyrim we only get the Nords PoV of the Mede Empire, basically giving us the idea that it is extremely weak and the Emperor is nothing but a puppet of the Thalmor. Adds a lot of depth to this story since he's actually quite the leader.
It's certainly not how the emperor and the Empire themselves see it; and it's worth pointing out that the Empire has no more love of the Thalmor than the Stormcloaks do (you can hear Tulius himself say as much), they just need to pay them lip service for the sake of convenience to keep the peace until they're ready to launch an assault against the Aldmeri Dominion, as they've been planning to do for quite some time.
In Skyrim we only get the nord PoV of everything. We can't even talk with the Thalmor even if we're altmer, and we're forced to take the blade's perspective, even if we later side with Paarthurnax.
Troodon that’s one thing I don’t get why doesn’t Ulfric see that the empire is only waiting to replenish its army for another Great War gosh darn it Bethesda make smarter characters
Titus Mede the 1st is most comparable to Emperor Aurelian in the real world. His martial ability along with his understanding of both militairy tactics and shrewd undertaking of domestic policy. Just like Titus Mede the 1st, his abilities were greatly understated in history.
Because his rule didn't include major defeats of the enemy or major accomplishments other than reuniting the empire and founding the oculatum. Since it is considered the default position of the empire to rule all of tamriel as much as the elves permit, the fact he restored it almost fully is simply seen as doing his job as emperor. And since he got his job as emperor by conquering a weak empire and simply taking the reigns of an existing horse, this is also seen as just doing his job. He is a lot more interesting to me after watching this video for certain.
It really isn't fair to compare the state of The Empire under The Mede Dynasty to its state under The Septim Dynasty since the Septims came to power by somebody who can change a region's biome RETROACTIVELY using a giant doomsday robot that can also warp time itself, while the Medes had to rely on political cunning and tactical genius alone in order to rise to power.
If I remember correctly, Numidium was used in a few scenarios. Most known is the use in Summerset Isles and in Hammerfell, the dragon that Tiber Septim had I think was also useful.
I'd love that if for no other reason it would immediately continue after the events of Oblivion. I love Skyrim but I feel a little disappointed that it skipped 200 years of lore since the last game. A lot of interesting events had to have happened during that time, and a game that allows a player to witness some of that first hand would be great.
Well actually there's a lot of place's in the timeline that would be really badass Adventures like...When Talo's was alive, When The Reman Dynasty was ruling, The Alessian Empire or the Uprising, The Camoran Dynasty reign, When the Dragons/Dov ruled Skyrim, and The Expedition/Conquest of Akavir.
You know, there's a theory that Titus Mede 2nd was the one who set out the contract on his own life. He knew that the next war would be much harder and he ,an old man, could never win. So he wanted to get a new, younger, ruler to lead the empier at war with the thalmor. This just shows how much of a badass Titus Mede 2nd is and why he's my fav.
@@InanisNihil Were he to do that he'd look weak. The Dominion and other detractors of the Empire would use this weakness as propaganda. By stepping down he would ultimately hurt the Empire. However, if he is killed he becomes a martyr, a beacon around which the next emperor can rally his people. It actually makes a ton of sense why he'd do this. Politically it's the best case scenario.
@wishbone346 that would actually make the Empire look even weaker if anything. Why? Because you decided to show the entire world that an assassin could kill the Emperor of Cyrodiil with impunity and then get away with it. Death by assassination is also just a TERRIBLE way to transfer over your position of power in a secure manner. It’s really not a preferable position to put the next guy in. There’s just too much room for things to go wrong after you’ve been murdered and this is when other court conspiracies will likely be acted upon during the following chaos and confusion before the heir can formally be crowned. Rival claimants to throne will realize how simple it was for someone to assassinate the emperor and they too might might grow emboldened enough to hire assassins themselves. That’s how the last emperor was dealt with, so what’s stopping them from assassinating the next one if they don’t like him? It shows that these emperors aren’t actually as untouchable as they seem. Whereas, if you simply wanted to stop being the emperor because you felt you were getting too old for it and just wanted to retire, you could simply abdicate the throne like a sane person would. You know, rather than come up with some narcissistic and convoluted murder plot for yourself. Instead, just formally give your full endorsement to your oncoming heir (of your choice) that you want everyone to recognize as the new emperor from now on. So now there’s less room for crazy infighting to happen afterwards and your loyal subjects will all honor your last decree. And then you can finally retire away from the political world and live out the last of your days in peace, knowing that your succession of power happened smoothly. Simply be free to live comfortably at any of your countryside mansions to eat, drink, hump and entertain yourself as you see fit for the rest of your days.
NCR Elite Riot Officer after playing the story of him helping the empire in the great war it got me to realize which side of the civil war in skyrim i should be on, 7 years later & finally choosing to fight for the empire, i still find ways to fight the thalmor any chance i get too
Mede Emperors actually trying to save The Cyrodiilic Empire.And actually Titus Mede II is a smart and careful leader.He choose to sign the treaty with the Thalmor to save the Men races from being enslaved by The Thalmor. (sorry for my bad English)
Long live the Empire, For the Legion! May Talos protect the true heroes of Tamriel! The Dragonborn will lead the Legion into battle and retake the Ruby Throne, the sit of the dragon.
+Nameless Hero As the dragonborn I helped the Stormcloaks gain independence from the Empire, and as the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood I ended the emperor's reign. So none of that can be taken as a given.
The mede emperors are so cool! I wish people wouldnt hate on them and actually recognize how great they are. Like Titus mede II. just annihilated an army of angry cats and tigerpeople, wood- elves who are THE BEST archers in Tamriel and the high elves who could desintegrate people if they wanted to. COME ON PEOPLE! How could somebody who defeats armys of tigermen, Archers and mastermages not be worthy of the title of Emperor. I really hate how people listen to stormcloak propaganda...
The Altmer, Khajiit, and Wood elves don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to wars with human provinces. The Summerset Isles has been conquerored at least three different times by various emperors. While they have never been able to conqueror a human provinces. Valenwood and Elsweyr track records are even worse. They are constantly being conquered by various elven and human empires and Dominions. He also didn't defeat them, the treaty highly favored the Aldmeri Dominion, so he lost the war. He also let the situation in the Reach fester. The Forsworn conquest of the Reach was a direct threat to the future of the empire, but he didn't ever bother sending a small force to reclaim it. The Forsworn uprising all but cut off Highrock from the rest of the empire and created a power vacuum in Skyrim which directly lead to the Stormcloak uprising. Yet somehow he couldn't be bothered to plug said power vacuum which was a direct threat to the empires future.
There's no evidence of Khajit being involved in the Great War on the side of Aldmeri Dominion. Yes Elsweyr is a "client state" of the Aldmeri Dominion but like the Argonians are thought of as savage beasts by the Thalmor. The Aldmeri army is made up of primarily Altmer who are selective breeders and practice eugenics.
If the dragonborn helps the empire with all his thu'um and if he gets all the dragons to fight with him along side the empire the thalmor will lose hard plus the high elves have low birthrates so they can't build a heavy force like humans
@Sailor Sugar they say that the more intelligent you are and the more educated you are, the less children you have. Not to say people who have children are dumb, but statically speaking educated people have less kids. The high elves have the most educated society in Tamriel, and have many many years to use that knowledge and learn more. It's not uncommon to have a high elf woman not give birth to a single baby in her life time.
Good work guys! I have a thing to say about the Empire. It has been going downhill since the events in TES I Arena when Jagar Tharn did tons of stuff wrong.
I believe that babbet and Nazir survive regardless of wether or not you “destroy” the dark brotherhood, not that most people in Tamriel would have knowledge, just technically the order was preserved
Thomas Sugg they die in the dark brotherhood quest either by the Dragonborn or someone who takes their place that’s how the side-quests fit in the games lore so long live the next empire
If the empire is destroyed at this point then that would lead to chaos and a power vacuum which the Thalmor would undoubtedly fill . If you dislike the current empire then why not want it reformed instead of COMPLETELY DESTROYED?
I was replaying skyrim for the 100th time and noticed a piece of dialogue that I think many looked over. When speaking to amaund motierre, he say he intends to replicate the death of pelagius septim. Once Pelagius was assassinated his cousin(Kintyra Septim) took the throne as pelagius had no direct heirs. There is also the fact that he gives you an elder council amulet. Meaning that he or one of the members of the elder council are the cousin of the emperor is trying to size power.
In all likelihood even if it's not canon that the Dark Brotherhood assassinates him, he'll likely die of old age in a few years anyway. Best guess he's probably 75-80 years old as of the time of Skyrim. It's probably not canon that the dragonborn joins the Dark Brotherhood (in all likelihood regardless of the actions of the player, probably only the main quest is canon actions of the dragonborn; all the factional quests are probably actions of someone else). However there is certainly a plot to assassinate the emperor, and if the DB doesn't do it, someone else will. And even if they don't, he'll only live for a few more years anyway.
Even if you don't join the dark brotherhood he is fated to die. He set up his own death to become a Martyr. When you confront him on his ship he's reading a Dark Brotherhood oriented book, he also States he knew you were coming. Also on the ship you find a "sailor" in a room with 2 dead Imperial Bodyguards.
Well here's a idea, let's say the imperials won the skyrim civil war and Titus Mede II was assassinated. That could mean a better younger and stronger Emperor can lead the Empire. Some people believe Titus Mede II was the one to set things in motion for his assassin. Titus said this would enable a better stronger Emperor to stand up to the Aldemari Dominion
Well for all his faults, Titus Mede II is the best leader of the Empire. He was humbled during the Great War, he is hard at work to rebuild the Empire, and reforging it's Military. A younger man would jump at the change to take the Aldemari Dominion down a notch. But Mede the 2nd would restrain him self, knowing what the Elvis are capable of. Like I said he was humbled by the Elvis, and has since learned alot.
You're wrong about one thing, this video is nowhere near as long as it could be. I could listen to you talking about Elder Scrolls for hours. Truly outstanding.
in skyrims time. when the great war ll starts if the empire wins I am fairly sure talos worship will be re-instated. Considering a lot of the empire's citizens were pissed off over the ban. After what they witnessed after entering the tower after winning it back mede made a good choice in the false peace treaty. The next one should be interesting be it a Mede
I think the emperor is assassinated by the brotherhood no matter what. Since even when you choose to destroy them you dont actually end up killing all of them. Also this siege on their sanctuary parallels with the brotherhood questline when the listener finds many of the assassins dead but then goes on to kill the emperor anyway. These events are so similar they can easily be left vague but with a bit more detail on how he died versus the idea that the circumstances surrounding his death are unknown. I think in lore it will be: mede II was assassinated by a dark brotherhood agent sometime following the supposed destruction of their sanctuary. This also leaves the dark brotherhood a viable faction in the next game.
The emperor is very old, it does not really matter if he is murdered or not because he most likely only lives a few more years if he is not killed. Bethesda most likely leave the facts vague about the death of the emperor in the next game (They will not confirm if he died murdered or old age) that way Bethesda would not bother those who chose any of the 2 options.
Look at it from Bethesda's point of view. Would you risk canonizing one of 2 endings knowing that basically with that action you would be alienating and bothering all those who did not choose that option? What is the use of giving you the option to end the brotherhood if the emperor is killed anyway? From Daggerfall Bethesda prefers not to get into trouble in that regard.
Very nice lore video. Though one thing to note is that ES legends might not have happened. This is not to say it isn't Canon but because the campaign of the game is told through a narrator from a time after the events occurred. This brings up one of the most common writing techniques in the elder scrolls, the unreliable narrator. How can we be certain what the narrator said is truth? The entire story can be false, partially true with key events changed for the sake of the story, or it could be completely true. This is still highly debated in lore communities.
You cannot destroy the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim. You only get to clear the Falkreath sanctuary, and several important members of the Dark Brotherhood aren't there. Presumably, they're in the Dawnstar sanctuary, to which you never gain access if you decide to 'destroy' the Dark Brotherhood. Cicero and the Night Mother survive, for instance.
Cicero and the Night Mother can't rebuild the Dark Brotherhood alone in less than some couple of years, so the DB will be "offline" for some good time.
There are others who survive, too. You never get to take out that vampire girl either, for example. I haven't got a complete list but it's several members.
Dhindara Vrel In Skyrim, the only survivors I can remember now are Cicero and Babette (I don't consider the Night Mother, considering she's a ghost). I don't remember if we get to kill Gabrielle (I don't remember how to spell that Dunmer girl's name), so, in the best of the scenarios, we have 2 members and 1 keeper alive. No listener. I wouldn't give them less than 10 years to get their shape back.
Not to mention how... awful Cicero would be at recruiting. Cicero is barely tolerated by most of the existing Brotherhood. Even those who support the Night Mother find Cicero impossible to deal with, and the rest wish they could just kill him. Even if he were able to find people who could stand him, he can barely hold it together long enough to get the Night Mother to the Falkreath Sanctuary, and he doesn't hold it together long enough to do convince the other Brotherhood members to depose Astrid. He has the attention span of a squirrel, and that makes him an awful leader. Cicero would be great to have around if the player becomes Listener since he would re-enforce the 5 Tenets, but if it was just him, he would probably do awfully.
After hearing how the Emperor wanted to keep troops at the border (despite the wishes of General Tulius), that makes me wonder: When you ask the guy who hires you to kill the emperor why are they hiring you to do this he just says that certain people wish to see a change of policy in the empire; what if its the Thalmor who are telling this guy to hire you to kill the emperor, with the policy change being that of now moving troops away from the border (and into far away Skyrim) to make the Empire easier to invade again?
Theirs a theory that the Emperor assassinated himself. And at the end of the dark brotherhood quest the Emperor asks you to kill the guy who hires you to slay him. Basically silencing a key witness.
That theory has a lot of holes in it imo. Having himself assassinated would only destabilize the Empire even further. It leaves the Empire Leaderless and makes a mockery of thier spy network. Not to mention crashing the wedding escalates tensions on both sides.
How did Naarifin spy on the Emperor and figure out his plans? Easy, he had a secret device planted in the Imperial Palace known as Delta Sourc- oh no, wrong universe.
they got the offically ceded provinces and unofficially ceded provinces the wrong way round, still a great video though finally someone is talking about the second most interesting dynasty in tamrielic history in my opinion (after the septims of course)
i thought hammerfell, the summerset isles, and valenwood officially left whereas blackmarsh and morrowind left unofficially (morrowind due to the eruption and blackmarsh since it is nearly impossible to tame, i might be wrong tho and have it the wrong way round? elswyer probably left unoffically as well
kwadwo baidoo Hmhm, well it is more of an interpretation questions I think. Since there is no official lore (as far as I found) on how hammerfell, valenwood and summerset left the empire, thus I assumed unofficially
I never got how the septim bloodline died out cause not only would daughters marry out giving people royal blood I think it would have been great if Titus was distantly related to the septims and have other claimants fighting for the throne
PTRS 41 that would make no sense if he is beastfolk or mer, wich he can be. Maybe being dragonborn makes him related to akatosh directly, and tiber septim was directly related to akatosh too, but i wouldn't say this makes him part of the dynasty. And he couldnt be related to the mede dynasty at all, becouse we must consider him being all playable races
The dark brotherhood isn't destroyed so much as weakened severely. At least two members survive and take up in the dawnstar sanctuary. So maybe they will one day fulfill the contract?
Yeah indeed, nice find! That is another reason why he could die because cicero is still alive and the night mother would still recieve the contract. And perhaps then in some other way the DB might still kill Titus
@@ImperialKnowledge I have come to the opinion that the result of every quest is valid. It is just the individual circumstances that change. So Mede will die. He just may not die by your hands as a member of the DB. Why I feel this way is because I realized every quest is a story of the events of that time. This is how quests that seem to contradict each other can be just as valid. They are not technically happening to you. You are living them through the Dragonborn character but are in fact happening to another. It means precious few quests can be said to have been done by the dragonborn...but none the less may become part of his legend. Not unlike Tiber Septim.
@@jacobfreeman5444 Yeah I know! But I had not really considered this possibility, I just assumed he would die either way because of old age. While your explanation ties it together better in my opinion
May I ask why the southern part of morrowind is shown as part of argonia? I see this often but ive never seen a source for that, is it specificly statet in the novels? If i remeber corectly its statet in the Dragonborn DLC that the southern part still gets raided by the Argonians but ive never heard them saying that they(the Argonians) offically controll it.
- Kagetane - It is very debated. At the time of the books it is still under their control, however at the time of skyrim we dont know wether they have left and merely raid them. Or if they still control them
Okey, thats good to know. Because ive not read the books yet so I had no clue why everyone says that. As Dunmer-Fanboy thats quite sadening. Anyway thanks for answeing, Im always happy to discover new small youtubers who makes such good (lore friendly) content as you.
After the eruption of Red Mountain most of southern Morrowind is cut off from whatever part of northern Morrowind is still inhabitable. The Argonians took advantage of that to raid and de facto conquer most of Morrowind south of Red Mountain. The books definitely confirm this although how strongly they still control it as of the time of the Skyrim game isn't officially confirmed by canon lore as of yet. Quite likely they still do, as the Empire and norther Morrowind simply lack any resources to provide any aid to southern Morrowind and the Arogonians have historical reasons to want to continue to control that area. To insert my personal opinion, kind of serves them right for how they've historically treated the Argonians really.
I feel like the events in The Dark Brotherhood questline are not cannon because it gives the player a choice in destroying or joining them, changing Titus Mede II's fate completely
Honestly the Thalmor, unless they can find another cheatcode magic artifact are going to get their asses kicked right off the continent in a second great war. The first war proved they could only win because they knew exactly where the Empire was going to send their forces, any battle they fought on equal footing was a loss for them
The Thalmor dabble in Daedric magic and dark arts. That one elf In Winterhold tried to capture that eye of Magnus. It's clearly obvious that the Thalmor are logistically weak and militarily weak unless they use Daedric "intelligence" Aka basically a deal with the devils.
4:00 What is the source for that image? It's badass. In fact where did you get most of this Imperial LEgion Art? I love me some badass Imperial Legion Army battle scenes.
well to be honest the dragonborn shuld rule as an emperor (because he have the dragon blood the blood of akathos and probably reclaiming the amulet of kings as well) and finaly put an end to the Aldmeri dominion with the thalmor for ever.
Young Tullius What are you on about? Tiber Septim was a Dragonborn, hence his legitimate claim to the Imperial throne despite not being a descendant of the Cyrodiilic dynasty. In the same vein, Reman Cyrodiil came out of nowhere possessing the Amulet of Kings, which was thought lost, so even though he was not related to the Alessian Dynasty (as far as we know), he was a Dragonborn, and therefore had a legitimate claim. At this point, anything could happen, the Amulet could be reforged in a new covenant between the Dragonborn and Akatosh, although that would be hard to manage lore-wise. That being said, if Titus II's son is the successor, I pray to Akatosh he is a worthy one
Could the forgotten hero be the champion of Cyrodiil? I'm guessing it might be a possibility sense he turned into Sheogorath at the end of the Shivering Isles DLC, and that being Daedric Princes are immortal.
@@eldawansy1129 I know that. What I was saying was at first I thought the fogotton hero was sheogorath known as the coc but I didn't watch the video about the forgotten hero, and thus made my previous statement irrelevant.
It’s not necessarily unrealistic that some of the emperors became old , emperors normally even in the elder scrolls universe live a good life have good health care to call it like that and Tiber Septim also got over 100 years old before he died in the year 38 of the 3 Era
The Mede Emporers are not bad. But the Empire was made to be ruled by a Dragonborn. And not a normal Human. But hopefully the main character in Skyrim can become Emporer, and reunite the Empire. Maybe, he/she can become a Co-Emporer, and help Mede the 2nd defeat the damn Elvis.
I'm hoping that the last dragonborn will go on to become emperor after Medes death, him having the blood of the dragons and therefore potentially a semi-Septim.
It's more likely that Titus already has a heir. The Septim line died out hundreds of years ago during the Oblivion Crisis. Tiber Septim didn't just got the throne just because he's "Dragonborn", but from conquest.
Where did you get the map of the mede issue curious where I can get a copy to save for my computer and something I am working on that involves the map for better understanding
Alex Cruz HA NICE you are the first one that noticed! (I should send you a prize xD) Hahaha I noticed it too the first time I watched it, since someone made it for me.

I just finished rewatching a documentary about Emperor Aurelian the Restorer and saw your comment. What a coincidence.
I rather see a Nero or Caligula type of emperor, and you have to help a nameless legate to become the new emperor in the future.
It really isn't fair to compare the state of The Empire under The Mede Dynasty to its state under The Septim Dynasty since the Septims came to power by somebody who can change a region's biome RETROACTIVELY using a giant doomsday robot that can also warp time itself, while the Medes had to rely on political cunning and tactical genius alone in order to rise to power.

+Nameless Hero As the dragonborn I helped the Stormcloaks gain independence from the Empire, and as the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood I ended the emperor's reign. So none of that can be taken as a given.
The mede emperors are so cool! I wish people wouldnt hate on them and actually recognize how great they are. Like Titus mede II. just annihilated an army of angry cats and tigerpeople, wood- elves who are THE BEST archers in Tamriel and the high elves who could desintegrate people if they wanted to.
COME ON PEOPLE! How could somebody who defeats armys of tigermen, Archers and mastermages not be worthy of the title of Emperor.
I really hate how people listen to stormcloak propaganda...
You kill him in the DB questline..
The Altmer, Khajiit, and Wood elves don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to wars with human provinces. The Summerset Isles has been conquerored at least three different times by various emperors. While they have never been able to conqueror a human provinces. Valenwood and Elsweyr track records are even worse. They are constantly being conquered by various elven and human empires and Dominions. He also didn't defeat them, the treaty highly favored the Aldmeri Dominion, so he lost the war.
He also let the situation in the Reach fester. The Forsworn conquest of the Reach was a direct threat to the future of the empire, but he didn't ever bother sending a small force to reclaim it. The Forsworn uprising all but cut off Highrock from the rest of the empire and created a power vacuum in Skyrim which directly lead to the Stormcloak uprising. Yet somehow he couldn't be bothered to plug said power vacuum which was a direct threat to the empires future.
Imperial dog.
There's no evidence of Khajit being involved in the Great War on the side of Aldmeri Dominion. Yes Elsweyr is a "client state" of the Aldmeri Dominion but like the Argonians are thought of as savage beasts by the Thalmor.
The Aldmeri army is made up of primarily Altmer who are selective breeders and practice eugenics.
KJ L He should have, the emperor was weak
If the dragonborn helps the empire with all his thu'um and if he gets all the dragons to fight with him along side the empire the thalmor will lose hard plus the high elves have low birthrates so they can't build a heavy force like humans
kiara sanders The dragon born kills most the dragons...
kiara sanders woah dude you're gonna hurt yourself if you stretch that far
High Elves rely on magic. Magic = Stronk. Just nerfed in Tes Games for balance.
@Audio Sugar they are high and smoking can cause birth defects in children especially high elves who are high
@Sailor Sugar they say that the more intelligent you are and the more educated you are, the less children you have. Not to say people who have children are dumb, but statically speaking educated people have less kids. The high elves have the most educated society in Tamriel, and have many many years to use that knowledge and learn more. It's not uncommon to have a high elf woman not give birth to a single baby in her life time.
I'm Glad Someone Else has Read The Elder Scrolls Novels. They're great and I'd recommend it if you like The TES Games
+Blade The Bear yes
Good work guys! I have a thing to say about the Empire. It has been going downhill since the events in TES I Arena when Jagar Tharn did tons of stuff wrong.
I believe that babbet and Nazir survive regardless of wether or not you “destroy” the dark brotherhood, not that most people in Tamriel would have knowledge, just technically the order was preserved
How could Nazir survive if I killed him? Only Babbet survives.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 where can you find him to kill him?
Long live the Mede emperors long live the empire.
And destroy what Septim Dynasty creates and maintained so long ago?
Thomas Sugg they die in the dark brotherhood quest either by the Dragonborn or someone who takes their place that’s how the side-quests fit in the games lore so long live the next empire
If the empire is destroyed at this point then that would lead to chaos and a power vacuum which the Thalmor would undoubtedly fill . If you dislike the current empire then why not want it reformed instead of COMPLETELY DESTROYED?
Perhaps we've judged them harshly. Noone could hope to live up to an example like Tyber Septim's.
I was replaying skyrim for the 100th time and noticed a piece of dialogue that I think many looked over. When speaking to amaund motierre, he say he intends to replicate the death of pelagius septim. Once Pelagius was assassinated his cousin(Kintyra Septim) took the throne as pelagius had no direct heirs. There is also the fact that he gives you an elder council amulet. Meaning that he or one of the members of the elder council are the cousin of the emperor is trying to size power.
I like to think weather or not the dragonborn joins the dark brotherhood emperor Titus mede still dies
In all likelihood even if it's not canon that the Dark Brotherhood assassinates him, he'll likely die of old age in a few years anyway. Best guess he's probably 75-80 years old as of the time of Skyrim.
It's probably not canon that the dragonborn joins the Dark Brotherhood (in all likelihood regardless of the actions of the player, probably only the main quest is canon actions of the dragonborn; all the factional quests are probably actions of someone else). However there is certainly a plot to assassinate the emperor, and if the DB doesn't do it, someone else will. And even if they don't, he'll only live for a few more years anyway.
Even if you don't join the dark brotherhood he is fated to die.
He set up his own death to become a Martyr.
When you confront him on his ship he's reading a Dark Brotherhood oriented book, he also States he knew you were coming. Also on the ship you find a "sailor" in a room with 2 dead Imperial Bodyguards.
tbh the dragonborn from tes 5 should be emperor as the dragonborn's claim is more legitimate considering their dragon blood
At this point, The Empire is becoming a kratocracy, but hey, it works.
David Komar yeah but we all know their the last Dragonborn, so they can’t because they’ll have no heir, that’s y we can only adopt in Skyrim
Frost Hop we’ll in game we adopt, I’m assuming the last Dragonborn either cannot have children or decides to adhere to the prophecy
Scotland Ball or maybe Bethesda didn’t want Skyrim players to go off and impregnate half of Skyrim and get the game rated A
Ermmm no. I don't think the Dragonborn has a claim to the Imperial Throne.
I did an ancestry search and found that hundreds of years ago in England, my ancestor’s last name was Mede.
*crowns you Emperor*
If your serious than that's just funny.
Well here's a idea, let's say the imperials won the skyrim civil war and Titus Mede II was assassinated. That could mean a better younger and stronger Emperor can lead the Empire. Some people believe Titus Mede II was the one to set things in motion for his assassin. Titus said this would enable a better stronger Emperor to stand up to the Aldemari Dominion
Also imagine you being the next Emperor
@@Inquisitor-Beals you know it's the best thing for the empire, another part of the restoration
@@podroznikzpustkowi4805 yeah, but imagine the next elder scrolls we could be the Emperor as the imperial character we could choose
Well for all his faults, Titus Mede II is the best leader of the Empire. He was humbled during the Great War, he is hard at work to rebuild the Empire, and reforging it's Military. A younger man would jump at the change to take the Aldemari Dominion down a notch. But Mede the 2nd would restrain him self, knowing what the Elvis are capable of.
Like I said he was humbled by the Elvis, and has since learned alot.
i read the "Lord of Souls" and "The Infernal City' same books and there cannon by beth🔲edas
King Jann Lee Disturbed66 yes
I feel like everything TES Legends tells us is pushing us to Hammerfell for TES6
You're wrong about one thing, this video is nowhere near as long as it could be. I could listen to you talking about Elder Scrolls for hours. Truly outstanding.
Basically the best intro of any tes channel, and the only reason I need to subscribe.
Intro = great
Content = shit
Jk
Man, this intro is truly impressive.
lol I turned on auto captions and now it says Titus 'Meat' II
17:37 i love how the epic music is playing after he said that
The empire will crush the dominion I think. The only way they could win was to cheat. But when the chips are down the empire slaughtered them.
in skyrims time. when the great war ll starts if the empire wins I am fairly sure talos worship will be re-instated. Considering a lot of the empire's citizens were pissed off over the ban. After what they witnessed after entering the tower after winning it back mede made a good choice in the false peace treaty. The next one should be interesting be it a Mede
Your intro taught me a lot about the battle of the Somme
wait.. are you telling me Narfi is an evil elf lord? well damn, all hail lord Narfi.
Naarifin. He was defeated and carted off by winged daedra. Heh.
I love stories about the ones like Attrebus.
Just like you can become a "knight" in the Knights of the Thorn in Oblivion :D
Yeah, the story of Attrebus really kept me gripped. hope we learn more about him and his future reign.
I think the emperor is assassinated by the brotherhood no matter what. Since even when you choose to destroy them you dont actually end up killing all of them. Also this siege on their sanctuary parallels with the brotherhood questline when the listener finds many of the assassins dead but then goes on to kill the emperor anyway. These events are so similar they can easily be left vague but with a bit more detail on how he died versus the idea that the circumstances surrounding his death are unknown. I think in lore it will be: mede II was assassinated by a dark brotherhood agent sometime following the supposed destruction of their sanctuary. This also leaves the dark brotherhood a viable faction in the next game.
The emperor is very old, it does not really matter if he is murdered or not because he most likely only lives a few more years if he is not killed. Bethesda most likely leave the facts vague about the death of the emperor in the next game (They will not confirm if he died murdered or old age) that way Bethesda would not bother those who chose any of the 2 options.
César LZ. Thats a possibility but a boring one at that
Look at it from Bethesda's point of view. Would you risk canonizing one of 2 endings knowing that basically with that action you would be alienating and bothering all those who did not choose that option? What is the use of giving you the option to end the brotherhood if the emperor is killed anyway? From Daggerfall Bethesda prefers not to get into trouble in that regard.
The Second Great War we'll see in the sacking does Summerset Isles followed by another Oblivion crisis caused by the desperation of the High Elves
Very nice lore video. Though one thing to note is that ES legends might not have happened. This is not to say it isn't Canon but because the campaign of the game is told through a narrator from a time after the events occurred. This brings up one of the most common writing techniques in the elder scrolls, the unreliable narrator. How can we be certain what the narrator said is truth? The entire story can be false, partially true with key events changed for the sake of the story, or it could be completely true. This is still highly debated in lore communities.
Those books are soo good.
Mateus Magaldi Yeah I liked them haha
Imagine Peter Jackson (LOTR) adapting them. A tv show would be great for them
Yeah, if they were going to make ANYTHING from TES into a show/movie, I would want to see the books first. Because it's already written lol.
Armoured Productions Plus books are better for movies, compared to games.
Eh, I like the dimension they gave to the lore, and I liked parts of them, but for the most part they drag on a lot.
I’ve been binging your channel lately and I wanna say you have great content and even inspired me to redownload Skyrim! Keep it up man :)
Nice to hear and thanks for the compliment!
Mead emperors
Please Bethesda!!!!!!!!!! We care about Lore. You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!! make the elder scrolls we need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR THE EMPIRE !
You cannot destroy the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim. You only get to clear the Falkreath sanctuary, and several important members of the Dark Brotherhood aren't there. Presumably, they're in the Dawnstar sanctuary, to which you never gain access if you decide to 'destroy' the Dark Brotherhood. Cicero and the Night Mother survive, for instance.
Cicero and the Night Mother can't rebuild the Dark Brotherhood alone in less than some couple of years, so the DB will be "offline" for some good time.
There are others who survive, too. You never get to take out that vampire girl either, for example. I haven't got a complete list but it's several members.
Dhindara Vrel In Skyrim, the only survivors I can remember now are Cicero and Babette (I don't consider the Night Mother, considering she's a ghost). I don't remember if we get to kill Gabrielle (I don't remember how to spell that Dunmer girl's name), so, in the best of the scenarios, we have 2 members and 1 keeper alive. No listener.
I wouldn't give them less than 10 years to get their shape back.
Not to mention how... awful Cicero would be at recruiting. Cicero is barely tolerated by most of the existing Brotherhood. Even those who support the Night Mother find Cicero impossible to deal with, and the rest wish they could just kill him. Even if he were able to find people who could stand him, he can barely hold it together long enough to get the Night Mother to the Falkreath Sanctuary, and he doesn't hold it together long enough to do convince the other Brotherhood members to depose Astrid. He has the attention span of a squirrel, and that makes him an awful leader. Cicero would be great to have around if the player becomes Listener since he would re-enforce the 5 Tenets, but if it was just him, he would probably do awfully.
After hearing how the Emperor wanted to keep troops at the border (despite the wishes of General Tulius), that makes me wonder:
When you ask the guy who hires you to kill the emperor why are they hiring you to do this he just says that certain people wish to see a change of policy in the empire; what if its the Thalmor who are telling this guy to hire you to kill the emperor, with the policy change being that of now moving troops away from the border (and into far away Skyrim) to make the Empire easier to invade again?
Theirs a theory that the Emperor assassinated himself. And at the end of the dark brotherhood quest the Emperor asks you to kill the guy who hires you to slay him. Basically silencing a key witness.
That theory has a lot of holes in it imo. Having himself assassinated would only destabilize the Empire even further. It leaves the Empire Leaderless and makes a mockery of thier spy network. Not to mention crashing the wedding escalates tensions on both sides.
I gotta say, I really love your intro.
Wish there was mention of the forgotten hero in skyrim maybe there finally mention him in the next elder scrolls
How did Naarifin spy on the Emperor and figure out his plans? Easy, he had a secret device planted in the Imperial Palace known as Delta Sourc- oh no, wrong universe.
You get a sub for that beautiful ass intro alone
For the Empire! Talos guide us! 🤘
I think the dragonborn in the time of Skyrim should be the emperor that would be really neat
they got the offically ceded provinces and unofficially ceded provinces the wrong way round, still a great video though finally someone is talking about the second most interesting dynasty in tamrielic history in my opinion (after the septims of course)
kwadwo baidoo how did I get it wrong, I double, triple checked it before writing the script
i thought hammerfell, the summerset isles, and valenwood officially left whereas blackmarsh and morrowind left unofficially (morrowind due to the eruption and blackmarsh since it is nearly impossible to tame, i might be wrong tho and have it the wrong way round? elswyer probably left unoffically as well
kwadwo baidoo Hmhm, well it is more of an interpretation questions I think. Since there is no official lore (as far as I found) on how hammerfell, valenwood and summerset left the empire, thus I assumed unofficially
Black Marsh officially seceded and "drove the empire into the sea," to quote The Infernal City
I wonder is the Imperials legionary armor we see in the 4th era desired in the Cloven style
0:27 where can I find that music
It's from the morrowind theme

True he's a Cruel Warlord BUT the Thalmor aren't better...It's like choosing to follow Hitler instead of Stalin both suck absolute dick.
2 of my 3 favorite elder scroll youtubers
+American patriot R who is the third? :P
Great video guys :) you'll have a lot more subs coming in soon
I never got how the septim bloodline died out cause not only would daughters marry out giving people royal blood I think it would have been great if Titus was distantly related to the septims and have other claimants fighting for the throne
Since no one knows the Dragonborn’s origin, they should make it so that he is a very distant descendent of the Septum Family.
PTRS 41 that would make no sense if he is beastfolk or mer, wich he can be.
Maybe being dragonborn makes him related to akatosh directly, and tiber septim was directly related to akatosh too, but i wouldn't say this makes him part of the dynasty. And he couldnt be related to the mede dynasty at all, becouse we must consider him being all playable races
The dark brotherhood isn't destroyed so much as weakened severely. At least two members survive and take up in the dawnstar sanctuary. So maybe they will one day fulfill the contract?
Yeah indeed, nice find! That is another reason why he could die because cicero is still alive and the night mother would still recieve the contract.
And perhaps then in some other way the DB might still kill Titus
@@ImperialKnowledge I have come to the opinion that the result of every quest is valid. It is just the individual circumstances that change. So Mede will die. He just may not die by your hands as a member of the DB.
Why I feel this way is because I realized every quest is a story of the events of that time. This is how quests that seem to contradict each other can be just as valid. They are not technically happening to you. You are living them through the Dragonborn character but are in fact happening to another. It means precious few quests can be said to have been done by the dragonborn...but none the less may become part of his legend. Not unlike Tiber Septim.
@@jacobfreeman5444 Yeah I know! But I had not really considered this possibility, I just assumed he would die either way because of old age. While your explanation ties it together better in my opinion
May I ask why the southern part of morrowind is shown as part of argonia? I see this often but ive never seen a source for that, is it specificly statet in the novels? If i remeber corectly its statet in the Dragonborn DLC that the southern part still gets raided by the Argonians but ive never heard them saying that they(the Argonians) offically controll it.
- Kagetane - It is very debated. At the time of the books it is still under their control, however at the time of skyrim we dont know wether they have left and merely raid them. Or if they still control them
Okey, thats good to know. Because ive not read the books yet so I had no clue why everyone says that. As Dunmer-Fanboy thats quite sadening. Anyway thanks for answeing, Im always happy to discover new small youtubers who makes such good (lore friendly) content as you.
After the eruption of Red Mountain most of southern Morrowind is cut off from whatever part of northern Morrowind is still inhabitable. The Argonians took advantage of that to raid and de facto conquer most of Morrowind south of Red Mountain. The books definitely confirm this although how strongly they still control it as of the time of the Skyrim game isn't officially confirmed by canon lore as of yet. Quite likely they still do, as the Empire and norther Morrowind simply lack any resources to provide any aid to southern Morrowind and the Arogonians have historical reasons to want to continue to control that area. To insert my personal opinion, kind of serves them right for how they've historically treated the Argonians really.
The only thing we know from the Dragonborn DLC is that the Dunmer control Mournhold again. Any further south of that is unknown.
In Dragonborn DLC it is stated that the Dunmer have driven the Argonians out of southern Morrowind.
I feel like the events in The Dark Brotherhood questline are not cannon because it gives the player a choice in destroying or joining them, changing Titus Mede II's fate completely
Not really, the outcome of the questline remains the same.
Honestly the Thalmor, unless they can find another cheatcode magic artifact are going to get their asses kicked right off the continent in a second great war. The first war proved they could only win because they knew exactly where the Empire was going to send their forces, any battle they fought on equal footing was a loss for them
The Thalmor dabble in Daedric magic and dark arts.
That one elf In Winterhold tried to capture that eye of Magnus. It's clearly obvious that the Thalmor are logistically weak and militarily weak unless they use Daedric "intelligence"
Aka basically a deal with the devils.
4:00 What is the source for that image? It's badass. In fact where did you get most of this Imperial LEgion Art? I love me some badass Imperial Legion Army battle scenes.
+Armoured Productions It is all Elder Scrolls Legends card art
you know, even if we destroy the brotherhood, a few member will survive. these few member could still assasinate the emperor some way or another

i would love to play this story in elswere
Damn, this guy's good
well to be honest the dragonborn shuld rule as an emperor (because he have the dragon blood the blood of akathos and probably reclaiming the amulet of kings as well) and finaly put an end to the Aldmeri dominion with the thalmor for ever.
The Septim Dynasty is Tiber Septim's line, not any of the dragonborns and the amulet of kings is destroyed.
Dragonblood is no longer a must-have for an emperor
Young Tullius What are you on about? Tiber Septim was a Dragonborn, hence his legitimate claim to the Imperial throne despite not being a descendant of the Cyrodiilic dynasty. In the same vein, Reman Cyrodiil came out of nowhere possessing the Amulet of Kings, which was thought lost, so even though he was not related to the Alessian Dynasty (as far as we know), he was a Dragonborn, and therefore had a legitimate claim. At this point, anything could happen, the Amulet could be reforged in a new covenant between the Dragonborn and Akatosh, although that would be hard to manage lore-wise. That being said, if Titus II's son is the successor, I pray to Akatosh he is a worthy one
I'll be honest, I hate how you talk, Imperial Knowledge, but you got good stuff to say so you got yourself a new sub.
we need a atrebus mede game sorry if I misspelled his name.
Could the forgotten hero be the champion of Cyrodiil? I'm guessing it might be a possibility sense he turned into Sheogorath at the end of the Shivering Isles DLC, and that being Daedric Princes are immortal.
the champion of cyrodiil did turn into sheogorath
@@eldawansy1129 I know that. What I was saying was at first I thought the fogotton hero was sheogorath known as the coc but I didn't watch the video about the forgotten hero, and thus made my previous statement irrelevant.
@@nowonsbusiness would be fun though if it was just Sheogorath being a schitzo
I'm becoming the fanatic hopefully sooner patreon!!!!:)

It’s not necessarily unrealistic that some of the emperors became old , emperors normally even in the elder scrolls universe live a good life have good health care to call it like that and Tiber Septim also got over 100 years old before he died in the year 38 of the 3 Era
The Mede Emporers are not bad. But the Empire was made to be ruled by a Dragonborn. And not a normal Human.
But hopefully the main character in Skyrim can become Emporer, and reunite the Empire. Maybe, he/she can become a Co-Emporer, and help Mede the 2nd defeat the damn Elvis.

Shameless advertising but still a amazing video.

Awesome intro
I'm hoping that the last dragonborn will go on to become emperor after Medes death, him having the blood of the dragons and therefore potentially a semi-Septim.
NightWolfWillis Who knows? Maybe the Dragonborn will become High King/Queen?
It's more likely that Titus already has a heir. The Septim line died out hundreds of years ago during the Oblivion Crisis. Tiber Septim didn't just got the throne just because he's "Dragonborn", but from conquest.
What if we don't want our character to do so?
Being Dragonborn doesn't necessarily have anything to do with heredity, see The Book of the Dragonborn in-game for details
Young Tullius Having control of the Numidium was also one of the main reasons he was able to do it
