      Imperial Guard wear Imperial Steel armor and Imperial weapons.
      Ordinators use Ordinator armor which is equal to EBONY ARMOR and they wield an EBONY MACE. Ebony is second only to Daedric in terms of heavy armor.
      If I remember correctly (not much chance but close enough) Guards are around level 12-15. 20 at the most.
      Ordinators are level 40. High Ordinators are around 70-75 (I think) and their armor is ENCHANTED, and Almalexia's Hand are even stronger with even better enchantments.

    There's no statement of it, but I like to imagine Ordinator Armor as being bonemeld forged from the bones of the Dunmer's very ancestors. There is precedent for Dunmer utilizing their ancestors' bones for defensive technology with Ghostgate, and I always found it interesting how incredibly angry they are with us wearing the armor.

  • @VulpesChama
    @VulpesChama 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    This religous zeal, the Dunmer represent does not end, when their gods fall. With the Dunmer it is even better as one returned and took over, they already revered and praised as champion of the Dunmer, to purge their culture from sin and lies. The transition is rather small. Also he is supported by the Tribes and, we tend to forget this, at some point even by Vivec himself.
    -
    The moment Vivec acknowledged the Nerevarine as what he is, I have no doubt many Priests and Ordinators fell into some kind of religous 'panic' and switched sides. Especially for those Ordinators around Vivec himself the transition would have been 'kind of' easy, simply due to Vivecs acknowledgement of the Nerevarine. And in the wider sense, I think this would have spread throughout many regions of Morrowind, though it would have been hard and even impossible for others, like the High Ordinators who were without second thought absolutely devoted to Almalexia herself. We actually know that they don't even thought for one second that Almalexia could even be killed, and that she simply left for some higher purpose and will return if she is ready to return. We have one exception of a High Ordinator going completely mad. And that's with the High Ordinators, I think, they either stubbornly defended Almalexia to the(ir) end, or went absolutely mad. But we may have heard from a a group of extremely experienced and more than well trained warriors in ridiculously high quality enchanted armors going full rage on Mournhold. In the end it is more likely they committed suicide the moment they acknowledged the truth.
    -
    So yes, I do think there are a lot of Ordinators still around. And they will protect the 'new' Temple with the same zeal as they have done with the Tribunal. Anyone who'll doubt the Nerevarine to be true, will face the same fanatic warriors. And it is likely that the Nerevarine was accompanied by an entourage of followers including Ordinators willing to protect him at any cost.
    -
    As Morrowind Veteran, I really wish for the Nerevarines return at some point in some game. I really, really want to return to Morrowind to continue the Story of Morrowind. They even can copy the civil war story from Skyrim if they wish, just as 'taking back the land from the Argonians', way. But I don't want to play as Nerevarine again. Though this would cause the slight problem, that then there would be an official canon Nerevarine in terms fo gender and race. But for me, that's actually a small price to pay. I don't really have problems with my characters not being canon (obviously).

    • @CIA871
      @CIA871 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    at 5:42, I don't think it is irony that the tribunal uses the visage of Nerovar for their most trusted guards.
    Nerovar is a hero, this is a symbol the tribunal can use to move the heart of their people.
    If we look in RL history, very often ideologues and oligarchs will use the persona of people who have done great deeds (even people that they have betrayed) as a symbol to advance their political agenda.

    I think the reason why the Ordinator wear Nerevar’s face is partly some form of mantling - if you tell it enough times a certain way and people believe it then it’s real. - and part poetic irony that the Tribunal seems to love.

  • @Haggysack2k8

    Come to think about it:
    The Ordinators put so much effort just on putting on their armor. Think about how this would be, if you're an Ordinator, just gotten on your armor for the first time, you're kind of proud of yourself, because you have showed respect, loyalty and honor and that you believe in the Tribunal...
    And then a random always-jumping guy walks up to you, insults you, you attack him and he outright one-shots you, steals your clothes, your armor and possibly also your personal belongings, if you happen to carry some with you. And after that, this strange individual continues to do the same to other fellow Ordinators, praciticing mass murder.
    I would be pissed as an Ordinator, if i would see someone, who is like this individual, but wearing Ordinator armor... OOOOOHHHH so that's the reason they always attacked me, after i took and wore Salas Valor's armor all the time! Whoops.

      There's multiple neural triggers set while playing a video game, even more so one you enjoy.
      A date of birth, even a significant others, likely has fewer options to engage the memory reflex in our subconsciouses. So there's less likelyhood of a random event spurring a reminder.
      It's not your fault if you can't control it.
      So yeah, use that excuse if you know she can't point to those multiple really awesome birthday parties she's had across all these years you've been together.

    So, the Thalimor want to erase the worship of Talos as the act of devotion gives power and can create a god. So shouldn't ALMSIVI have no longer needed the Heart to be deities? The majority of Dunmer worship the Tribunal, after all.

    I knew I liked the helmet for a reason. Apart from being an amazing combination of a gold mask and a corinthian helmet.
    And the Ordinators being the elite of the Dunmer suggests that they rather not use iron or steel as their armour appears to be made of bone, brass, bronze and hardened leather.

    At First sry for my English
    I Wasnt at school for 6 months and im from germany
    Ive started a new Char in skyrim and i had a Quite funny idea for a new build: the gorgon
    The gorgon is a female argonian and very interested in the magic school of alteration together with her husband they Tried To change the ash Shell spell that the Mage who aktivates it gets unkillable for a short Duration the only difference is that the Mage Can still move. While she was still practicing and Upgrading the spell her husband thought the ashe shell spell was finished and he Wanted to try ist at himself. Long Story Short the man was Turned into a statue. The Other villagers Said that she was the one who turned him into Stone so they gave her the nickname the gorgon (like Medusa) than she was arrested But she could escape because she turned all the guards for a Short duration into Stone too. The gorgon Worked day and Night with restauration spells alchemie and alteration(her 3 Main Skills) to Turn her man back into flesh but she had to Fleet from her village and her husbands statue destiny was confirmed for Ever Now. The gorgons Main Skills Are as i das restauration alteration and Alchemie she Loves to paralyze her enemies and After that she Kills em with her daggers(2 ebony daggers Maybe with a paralyze enchantment too) After she leveled her Skills she uses the snake Stone( for obvious reasons XD) i tried this already once and i can say its quite Funny if one of u Here in the comments Wants to try it
    Sry if a similar Build already exists im net to this channel

    • @TheRealPDizzle
      @TheRealPDizzle 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Very cool custom build, and I like the backstory. I do the same thing with my characters, I make really in-depth back stories for and role-play how the character would act throughout the course of the game And learning skills they would find interesting or helpful. By the way your English is quite good, so don’t be too hard on yourself. One thing about English speakers, at least American English speakers, is that we don’t judge foreigners who are trying to learn I wish as a second language. We only really get on the people you’re born here and butcher the language when they should know better. And the cool thing about English is that since it’s not tonal it’s easy to get ideas across as long as you get the general words out; even misspellings are easy to understand.There are a lot of strange rules though, and even as an amateur writer who went to school for English I’m still learning a lot and make mistakes all the time.
      I don’t know much about German but I do know a lot of English has much inspiration from German words and history. English is sort of a mix of the romance languages, Germanic, Latin, and other Anglo Saxon systems. It’s a fun language though so don’t give up on it. It has the most words of any language in the world so it’s possible to very specifically express ideas and explain complex concepts. Something you can’t do in other Languages as well it’s make up words for humor; part of English joking and humor is making up fun and nonsensical words, therefore there are tons of puns and idioms floating around out there.
      I live in Thailand and I’ve been learning the Thai language for a while now and it’s very difficult and strange to me. Many ideas just don’t get across the same way or at all when compared to English.

    I'd say that until Dagoth Ur barred access to the heart, the Tribunal were basically 100% gods and not just powerful demigods. Even all the way to the events of Morrowind, all three were probably more powerful than 99% of beings in Tamriel. Only legendary heroes could probably defeat them at this point.

Could have sworn the Tribunal gave the Ashlanders the OK from the get-go simply because these people would rather be slaughtered than give up on tradition and move to the cities, cities are just not a very chimer way to live after all.
