It's because vivec's fate depends on if the player kills him or not. Anything the player can directly affect in a Bethesda game is deliberately avoided, due to player choice, and left vague for player personal interpretation. But Jiub is not, after asking your name, he is essentially voided from existence as soon as you leave the instance. Eliminating the player having any influence over his fate. And for official lore, that's free real estate!
I was both happy and sad to find him inside the soul cairne when I played Skyrim. I remembered him from morrowind, but then was like "oh no, you didn't deserve to be traped in here..."
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but Jiub's hero's journey mirrors the players in the elder scrolls. Starts out a prisoner, does amazing things, is recognised for it, passes into legend, disappears from the land of their heroic deeds, winds up in crazy, ambiguous limbo, neither living nor dead. Like how the player characters are removed from history once the events finish.
@@striker8961 how exactly? Neither of them were put into a crazy ambiguous limbo and both of them are alive, not removed from history? Unless being a daedra counts as being removed from history

Bethesda didn't have to do anything with Jiub. They could have just said all the cliff racers died during the eruption of Red Mountain, but no, they decided to give our first encounter a greater story that can be followed throughout the games to come. That's how you world build.
@@azathoththe3rd They were notorious among players rather than in-universe, as their aggro range was very high and they tended to swarm you during travel while making ungodly noises. This infamy became a sort of canonized meme post-Morrowind.
Mjoll the lioness, in Riften, says she used to hunt cliffracers in Morrowind as a youth, implying Jiub didn't exactly exterminate them to extinction but rather cut down the infestation, possibly enough to be considered a sustainable population. Still tough, absolutely a feat worthy of sainthood.
I remember playing morrowind when it first came out and coming up with a head canon that Juib was the real reincarnation of neravar there was just a mix up.
Technically, anyone who successfully fulfilled the prophecy and therefore mantled the Neverine retroactively became the true reincarnation since mantling ripples both forward and backwards in time.
From a incarcerated minor character that only appears in the first minute to a hero who saves Morrowind from the worst things ever with wings, Jiub was basically an Elder Scrolls protagonist of his own.
What a fascinating little character. I don't remember him at all! Or the whole soul cairn bit... Every now and then I am reminded of how rich the world of elder scrolls is, particularly morrowind, and it makes me want to revisit it again. Thank you for the video!
You don't remember him in Morrowind because he is absolutely forgettable in that game. I am not sure when and in what form did Bethesda add to his story, but the one thing I remember is that "Saint Jiub the Eradicator" has been nothing more than a bloody meme made canon. It's a joke on how annoying the Cliffracers were, little more.
I love those few moments of Jiub talking In The beginning of Morrowind. Brings back so very many hours of shenanigans in that wonderful game. I even made a dark elf and named him Jiub once to give him a story/chance to be the Nereverine.
I experienced his story in reverse. I first met him in Skyrim, then later found his severed head in Kvatch, then played Morrowind only a few years ago.
Jiub is a Hero the same way a Fireman is a hero, or a Nurse. Sure killing Cliffracers isnt the "MOST EPIC DRAMATIC WAR EVER FOUGHT" as other heroes tent to do, but he is an epic hero for the people being harrassed by those winged demons. Him being sainted is also fitting, he took time of his life to help the people, dedicate his life to what other Heroes would consider a side quest, or day i say "beneath them".
Your videos seriously have this certain satisfaction to them, time always flies by when I'm listening. I very much enjoy your contagious excitement in this video
Saint Patrick used the three leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity to the Pagan Irish. The four leaf was just traditionally viewed as good luck by the Irish, and it's association with Saint Patrick is mostly a misconception. Great video, I love this series you're doing. I just figured someone should mention that since he's a real life religious figure.
Always a good day when you upload! You quickly became one of my favorite content creators when I found you early on with your morrowind and divinity original sin 2 videos. Keep it up! The 3 "pedia" series that you do are some of my favorites on all of youtube
It's interesting that the Morag Tong rival drew guards attention to cover his escape, as all the assassinations you do in the guild are legal with writs.
Dude was likely tired of running into Jiub all the time and therefore out of spite had him arrested. People had others arrested for even pettier reasons.
After my first runs as a 12 years old boy, I finally got in touch with Morrowind again. I love this game and try to enjoy every single quest and love such content as yours ❤
For some reason, when you mentioned the cruelty of the Daedra, my brain immediately assumed that Hircine reincarnated him as a Cliff Racer. Even though I know the actual story.
He was a criminal out of desperation. He still had his empathy in tact and likely met many people who lost loved ones to cliff racers. The same trauma that likely led to addiction also made him able to connect with others suffering loss. People dealing with their own issues do fight like hell for people they connect with when they need help.
Honestly, I'd love a Illidan video. He's one of the few characters that I can think of who's genuinely an anti-hero, and his personality is just incredible. There are so many instances that you can point at where it's obvious that what he's doing is not just for saving people, but for his own gain, and it's so refreshing to have a "good" guy who's personality is not just "I want to be as good as possible and make sure nothing bad happens to these innocent people."
Jiub waking me up on the boat is like a formative experience engrained in my psyche. Also though, I kinda like the singles Young Scrolls puts out more than the EPs. Liar Liar, it ain't just a movie title.
I usually can't post links so I will just have to explain it. There was an excellent picture posted to the Morrowind Reddit a couple years back of the Doom cover art replacing Doomguy with Jiub and the demons with cliffracers. If I could get that on a shirt I absolutely would
Saint Jiib didn't deserve to wind up in the Soul Cairn. I hope a game revisits his situation and has him busting out to continue being a based af Dunmer badass in the background to the main story.
He's probably the best hero in all of ES lore. A man that did horrible things, realized the error of his ways, and then went on a crusade to make the world a better place and was willing to give his life to do it. There are other heroes who did similar things but there are conflicting histories about them. Everyone agrees that Jiub was a hero.
I hope in ES6 we have a quest to lead, or at least take part in, a mission to save people from the Soul Cairn so that Jiub and similar folks can be saved and allowed to finally pass on to the parts of Atherius or Oblivion they truly earned in life.
Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up. Stand up... there you go. You were dreaming. What's your name? Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I heard them say we've reached Morrowind, I'm sure they'll let us go. Quiet, here comes the guard. You better do what they say.
If I had to make a request, it would be for Scholar Visari, from Killzone. He is probably the strongest villain (not in terms of physical or magical power) out of any PlayStation-centric game series, to the extent that any games without him are considered worse, and he is only physically present in the same room as your characters for 2 minutes between all 3 games.
You know I don't think I ever bothered to finish the Saint Jiubs quest in Skyrim ... but now, after learning his full story, I will not only do it on my current playthrough, I will gladly do it on every single playthrough from this day forth. All hail Saint Jiub, The eradicator of the winged menice!
Man! Watching your video and admiring the great work you've done here I was thinking about asking your permission to share here in the comments a link to Filthy Rich by Young Scrolls, that I have stumbled upon a year or so ago. But now I see you're also familiar with your fellow artist. People like you are the pillars of The Elder Scrolls fan communities all over the wold. Thank you!
I think there is a villain (antivillain?) you might find interesting. It's Dhaos from Tales of Phantasia. What follows is a spoiler: While at first it seems Dhaos is a regular sealed evil type of space parasite who wipes out entire villages (which you will visit while and after they're wiped out to rub the salt in), and it has a cult army of people who want to use Dhaos for power, the ending is actually bittersweet. Yes, you kill Dhaos, and everything is well (except you go back to rebuild the village burned by his goons and mourn the villagers you saw just before they were mercilessly murdered), you find out Dhaos wanted to steal the mana tree that gives life to the planet not for power but to save his planet, because the mana tree on his planet died. Martell, the goddess of the mana tree, sends a seed of her tree to his planet after Dhais was killed, thus saving his planet. I don't think Dhaos speaks the language of the inhabitants, so he couldn't even tell what he's up to. I think he is a silent villain all throughout the game.
What an interesting character. I don't know how many times I've played Skyrim/Dawngaurd and I don't think I ever realized he was in the soul cavern. Nice to know his backstory now.
If we ever get an official morrowind remake, I hope we can get him as a companion. Maybe players can get an achievement if you kill x amount of Cliff Racers with him as a active follower.
Another thing about the invasion of Kvatch that is a neat fan theory is that you can actually find a severed Dunmer head in one of the destroyed homes in the city. Some fans believe it's Jiub's head. A bit morbid, but it's my personal head-canon. Pun not intended.
I ain't got fast travel, looks like I'm going places, telvanni magister, I'm always levitating, Saint jiub I'm hit maker, I will skin you like a f*ing cliff-racer

Imagine in about 50 years, when the Elder Scrolls 8 comes out, they take some unimportant NPC that everybody knows (Nazeem) and give them a similar treatment, giving them a fascinating story that happened in the background between games.
great vid as always bro. if you feel up to it, i think the protagonist of nier would make a great subtle villainpedia even though theres only one game with them involved theres a huge amount of books and supplemental material. as for more elder scrolls stuff, the nerevarine is a pretty interesting character as they vanished in akavir rather than just fading into obscurity like other video game heroes, but honestly im sure you could make a vid on some obscure character from a game no ones heard of it and it'll be great. god bless
I would absolutely love if you did a legacy of kain character in your vids. The depth, lore and writing andof the characters in that series is amazing and I feel like is right up your alley
He might be a hero in the eyes of people, and the cliff racer might be annoying, but he still made his legend by eradicating a specie. That don't seem really right to me, maybe a bit too extreme. Nice video as always !
A mod that recreates the story of Jiubs deeds but as a playable quest line would be sick, and after slaying the large nest the game spawns less cliff racers
Hey dude my gf loves ES so we always watch your videos and I think they’re great, I have a request though, would you ever take a look at one of the Rockstar antagonists? Dutch has been covered pretty thoroughly but Tenpenny, Dimitri, and Gary often get overlooked. Id love to see a fantasy nerd’s take on some gangsters lol, love your vids dude all the best
Here's to the item that Jiub's soul energy is powering in The Elder Scrolls 6. If we're lucky it'll be a spear that does ever increasing damage too the same enemy type the more you kill creatures of the same type and his reset when you kill a creature of a different type.
Bro became the Goblin Slayer of Cliff Racers. Edit: it's kinda interesting, the snakes of the St. Patrick tale, were probably not actual snakes, but rather, heretics of the abrahamic faith. Which would make more sense than literal snakes
it is interesting to note that saint patrick forced serpents out of ireland, which in ye olden days, was closer to something like a dragon. so jiub killing all the cliff racers, the weird dino dragon things they are, its an even closer comparison
I’m not sure how doable it would be, but I’d love to see a Heropedia or NPCpedia on Solanum or The Prisoner from Outer Wilds would be amazing (both are great, but reading bits and pieces of Solanum growing up and then meeting her is just 🥹). Otherwise, I think diving into ER more and doing maybe Jerren or Sellen (or a joint episode because obviously their paths cross a lot)
6:48 bro, I started this comment being like _what is that map doing_ with Ebonheart there on the Mainland? Turns out, yeah, Vivec himself wanted an Ebonheart of his own on the island of Vvardenfell lol. How about that? So my memory of where Ebonheart was in the Elder Scrolls III wasn't wrong, but neither was the map I've pointed to with this timecode. Thanks, ESO! 😂

I've said before and I'll say it again... what a beautifully scripted video. Thank you for sharing this. It was such a great watch.
I've heard one version of the St Patrick legend where the snakes are idols of the Celtic death god Crom Cruach (Little more badass imo)
Saint Patrick: "I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking island of Ireland!"
He might be a hero in the eyes of people, and the cliff racer might be annoying, but he still made his legend by eradicating a specie.
That don't seem really right to me, maybe a bit too extreme.
Nice video as always !
The Ghostfather upload always makes my day
I appreciate you using ESO music. Brad Derrick is underrated.
A mod that recreates the story of Jiubs deeds but as a playable quest line would be sick, and after slaying the large nest the game spawns less cliff racers
every one of these videos make me think harder about the people in the video game worlds that i tend to mindlessly talk to
Do a villainpedia on the illusive man next!
Jiub! Such a memorable tutorial character.
Jiub retiring in Kvatch is like someone retiring in Hiroshima, circa 1944.
Hey dude my gf loves ES so we always watch your videos and I think they’re great, I have a request though, would you ever take a look at one of the Rockstar antagonists? Dutch has been covered pretty thoroughly but Tenpenny, Dimitri, and Gary often get overlooked. Id love to see a fantasy nerd’s take on some gangsters lol, love your vids dude all the best
Here's to the item that Jiub's soul energy is powering in The Elder Scrolls 6.
If we're lucky it'll be a spear that does ever increasing damage too the same enemy type the more you kill creatures of the same type and his reset when you kill a creature of a different type.
Bro became the Goblin Slayer of Cliff Racers.
Edit: it's kinda interesting, the snakes of the St. Patrick tale, were probably not actual snakes, but rather, heretics of the abrahamic faith. Which would make more sense than literal snakes
I don't know much about this guy, but I like the cut of his Jiub
Heropedia: Billy Hatcher… used to love beating my friends in multiplayer lol
To be fair I don't remember fighting any cliff racers in the dragonborn dlc. Thank you Based Jiub
Damn, I had convinced myself Yung scrolls was a fever dream lol
it is interesting to note that saint patrick forced serpents out of ireland, which in ye olden days, was closer to something like a dragon. so jiub killing all the cliff racers, the weird dino dragon things they are, its an even closer comparison
I’m not sure how doable it would be, but I’d love to see a Heropedia or NPCpedia on Solanum or The Prisoner from Outer Wilds would be amazing (both are great, but reading bits and pieces of Solanum growing up and then meeting her is just 🥹). Otherwise, I think diving into ER more and doing maybe Jerren or Sellen (or a joint episode because obviously their paths cross a lot)
Very cool that he's based on St Patrick!
6:48 bro, I started this comment being like _what is that map doing_ with Ebonheart there on the Mainland? Turns out, yeah, Vivec himself wanted an Ebonheart of his own on the island of Vvardenfell lol. How about that?
So my memory of where Ebonheart was in the Elder Scrolls III wasn't wrong, but neither was the map I've pointed to with this timecode. Thanks, ESO! 😂
I chuckled when i saw the thumbail. Nice.
Here's a few ideas,
Heropedia: Geralt of Rivia
Villainpedia: King K Rool
NPCpedia: Deckard Cain or Griswold
Worldpedia: Antonica (Everquest).
Jiub also appears in Oblivion as a head on a table in Kvatch, Skyrim is the 3rd showing for him.
He shows the head on the table in this video lol.
@@bbbbbbb51 Yeah and he still said Skyrim was his 2nd in game appearance.
Appears to be a fan belief and not confirmed that that is his head. The head asset is used throughout the game too
God, I'd love to see you talk about someone like Travis Touchdown.
Ah, my boy jiub!
YEEESS!! I’ve been waiting for the Jiub video for so long!
Young scrolls is goated, and another banger vid Ghost!
