In a recent heavily modded Skyrim playthrough, I was freezing to death on the road from Whiterun to Rorikstead, and the altar of Y'ffre from Wintersun was the only fire source nearby. Now every time I'm traveling across the plains, I stop and pray at the shrine, still thankful for that one coincidence that saved my Dragonborn
He did, for a while. Then he went to Coldharbour and saw the Alessians, became disillusioned, and finally ended up worshipping Sithis. I still play him, ole scaly bastard's fighting the Stormcloaks now
Yes I love this video. Yffre and Bosmer lore is sooo fucking interesting. Bosmer are definitely my favorite race and so much of that has to do with Yffre. I love what we got expanded in ESO also. I still wish for a mainline game in Valenwood but that is likely to never happen. I just wanna see those wandering trees man. And a deep dive into the Bosmer religions and factions.
Honestly given how they watered down Nord culture in Skyrim I'd prefer they stay as far away from Valenwood as possible in the mainline games. Don't want any more great lore getting retconned or homogenized.
@MomPickMeUpImScared 1) my comment was made 2 years ago. A LOT of new stuff was added to ESO since then. 2) ESO isn't made by Bethesda Game Studios, and BGS has a big penchant for disregarding lore created by others (see basically anything Fallout that they didn't directly do). If you think Bethesda won't retcon things from ESO in the future I've got a bridge to sell you, my dude.
What unites people? Armies? Gold? Flags? Stories. There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. And who has a better story than Y'ffre of the Woods?
Narrative is the building blocks of perception. There is no perception without narrative, and no action carried out by a sentient being that can ignore perception.
@@Dacland. the greatest narrators used their narrator voice, Drew got a great narrator voice for sure especially when it comes to elder scrolls metaphysics lmao
I keep finding myself coming back to this video, it's one of the most beautiful narrated videos Fudgemuppet has put out and I'd just like to say thank you for making it. Nice to get some y'ffre lore out there and general bosmer appreciation outside of short king memes. 10/10 one of the best videos on the site.
@@davidr5445 Nope. Bosmer are completely carnivorous. Meat, dairy, and possibly honey are the only things they would consume. They even smoke dried grubs in their pipes. Also, Skyrim should have nothing to do with preventing the OP having a Bosmer character eat apples. That's the responsibility of the OP. The problem is that TES games do not respect or uphold their own lore, which is shameful.
In fairness, that's actually how plants reproduce. Just like flowers exist to attract pollinators, apples and other fruits exist to attract, uh, let's call it poopinators. Most plants don't want to live too close to their offspring or siblings. As a general rule, the roots of any tree are as extensive as the branches. That means that plants need tons of space to grow not just above ground but also below ground. They also need access to sunlight, nutrients, water, and plenty of carbon. A sapling under a heavily blocked out canopy will struggle to get enough light. A plant in a pot of soil that's been used dozens of times without the addition of fertilizer or new topsoil is going to struggle to get enough nutrients. So plants have evolved strategies to spread their seeds across a larger amount of area to provide them a better chance of landing in a more hospitable environment. For dandelions, that's wind-based seed distribution. For tumbleweeds, it's tumbling. For fruit, it's wrapping the seed in a tasty treat that an animal or person can enjoy and poop out later, with our bodies conveniently wrapping the seed up in a little pile of organic fertilizer that most animals and humans have evolved to avoid due to it usually containing stuff that makes us sick. I realize that unlike in our world, in the Elder Scrolls universe intelligent design is real and is in competition with natural selection, but if they end up with the same or very similar species of plants as our world has then natural selection must be providing similar selective forces.
@@fingerboxes Also in fairness, Bethesda (or one of their studios) have already retconned the Greenpact in the Elder Scrolls Online, which unfortunately stands as official cannon, so things are now even more convoluted than before. : P The two best sources of up to date lore information, for those who are interested, are the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (aka UESP Wiki): en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page and the Imperial Library: www.imperial-library.info/ Both are excellent resources.
I forgive a Bosmer for eating an apple. It doesn’t harm the tree to take its fruit. They want their seed to spread. I would judge a Bosmer for eating carrots or cabbage because to get vegetables the earth must be dug. Most Bosmer in modern days don’t follow the pact to the letter only the deep tribes in Vallenwood. I play some as full green pact eating my kills and so on but some I play a bit more modern. They eat and use what they kill, they don’t chop trees or dig ore but honey and fruit are allowed. If they can sing the trees into houses surely they can sing a ripe apple to fall. Even in Vallenwood they are allowed transported ore and wood as long as it comes from lands outside of Vallenwood. Not only do they avoid war because they eat what they kill but also rely heavily on trading.
My main played character in every TES game is "y'ffray camoran" a half altmer half bosmer who's a spinner from the second era. Her father was a 1000 year old altmer, and her mother was a Spinner in valenwood. She took after her mother's petite bosmeri form, but kept her father's long lifespan and magickal prowess. In the second era her father was killed during the soul burst, and her mother went missing, she grew up an orphan until she was taken in to a humble bosmeri home in the village of deep woods in malabar tor. She learned the lore and stories and glory of y'ffre; her namesake empowered her and she used her role to influence her later cousin to become the king of valenwood during the first aldmeri dominion. Years passed and she was conscripted into the army, she rose through the ranks as she had a natural gift for rallying people through her song and stories. When tiber septim ravaged valenwood centuries later she was pivotal in repelling his armies and even convinced him personally to leave the forests alone. She WAS around morrowind and cyrodiil in the 3rd era, but she swears she only knew the neravarine and hero of kvatch. Any rumors you've heard of the dragon born in the fourth era being bosmer is all conjecture.. she now wanders the deserts of hammer fell, telling her stories and using alteration and destruction magicka to create water wells for villages in the sands. This is her story. As hard a road as it has been, she endures, weaving the tales of her ancestors and future generations for all.
I'm so early the Forest People are still torn between man and beast. Also, a thought: Loving these as always. I'd love to know more about some of the TES artefacts, not necessarily Daedric in origin.
That was fantastic! Thank you for the deeper understanding of Y'fre and the Bosmer. My word, I think he might be my favorite god now, too. His sphere, personality, and the stories about him are just so beautiful.
I randomly came across one of this channels “Skyrim Builds” last week. Which ended up with me watching the entire playlist on the channel, and once again sparked an addiction to Skyrim that had been gone for about 5 years! I also realized how wrong I was playing in the past! Thanks guys 🤙🏼😂
Thank you Drew/Fudge Muppet I have never heard of Y'ffre until this lore video today, I still have lots to learn about Skyrim and ESO. So thanks again for this video.
Absolutely cant get enough of the lore content. Scripts are beautifully written. Despite there being alot of infomation to digest you guys present it in a way that's easy to listen to and understand
Y'ffre was always my favorite!! Thank you so much for doing this one, Drew! I want to ask this to the community: (as it's only a head-canon suspicion)... Could the All-Maker be an Aspect of Y'ffre? Y'ffre gave form to the wild, similar to the Skal say the All-Maker did. The Skal also put a lot of emphasis on stories, oral tradition, and a nature-based lifestyle that has similarities to the Bosmer. If so, it would make some form of worship connection between a human group and Y'ffre. It's only a head-canon-based curiosity, I would like to hear what others think.
They certainly could be, but it could be just as well said that Yffre then was an aspect of the All-Maker. Honestly as both go, they're venerated by completely different cultures so I'd just say they're different
I'm in love with this channel bc it's so active, now I might want to suggest an explanation video about the Ayleid Ruins in Cyrodiil just like those contents you've made about the Dwarven Ruins.
Valenwood is so cool and its criminal how neglected it is. I wish that that was where TES6 is gonna be set, but it sounds like it will likely be Hammerfall and High Rock.
Thank you guys, for another wonderfully entertaining and enlightening video. Now dedicate a video to Crassius Curio. Or as he likes to be called, Uncle Crassius.
🍃🤗🍃 lovely video, the imagery, the scenes, subtle music... so magical; similar to the lore and the narrator’s voice only adds to the awesome “Wood Elf” vibe ✨💫🌻
i always loved the nature themes in elder scrolls; the gnarl and sap armor of shivering isle, all eso wood elf spiritual quests, I cant wait to see what's next in high rock--maybe some wyrd sister action :)
I posted requests for this video on every videos comment section for 4 years, I got my wish ♥︎♡ this video was for me and now u guys got a big dono coming . Thank you so much ♡♥︎
I love yffre as a diety, eversince i got the religions of skyrim mod, but with this video, this made yffre a wonderful and amazing deity, she truly js a spinner of beauty and stories.
The only thing I don't understand, isn't Y'ffre technically deceased because he became an Ehlnofey and sacrificed even more power than the Divines, making him more or less comatose like Shor or Tsun?
Don’t know if you guys did a video on it already, but what about a video on how the different races see the Daedric princes and how that ties back to their culture. Ex:Khajiit see Sheogorath as the Skooma cat, the Dunmer perceive Boethiah as a male more often then female; is there reasons behind this more then “Oh, well what’s crazier then a cat on Skooma” or someone saying “that’s how the Dunmer perceive Boethiah”.
Love it when storytellers say storytelling is the greatest kind of magic. Kind of like that "the brain is the most important organ, according to the brain" joke. :P No seriously these videos and the stories in the lore are enchanting, great work.
I was first introduced to the idea of Y'ffre through the Auri, Song of the Green mod for Skyrim. At first I thought it was just a cannibal cult, but after playing through that and this, I think I'm gonna go through my next Skyrim plauthrough as a Spinner of Y'ffre, and spin my own tales...
I don’t know if you have a place for requests but can you guys do a video on enlightenment and what it means to the different races like how Jurgen Wind Caller uses the Voice to achieve enlightenment and the guy who wrote the book of circles (I forgot his name) uses the martial art to achieve it
You should read some of the works of Terry Pratchett. The power of stories was a major theme in many of his works. The Discworld even has an element called _narrativium,_ the fundamental force of stories.
Hey fudgemuppet... Can I make a video request I think y'all should do a video on clavicus vile including skaffin (his servents) barbus his impact and just over all lore I enjoy this daedric prince alot and think it'd be a fun video just my idea good video as always y'all are awesome
Fairly new to the channel. Question: Has anyone covered the lack of general scientific progress in the ESU, and by extension, many other fantasy properties with hundreds or thousands of years of, seemingly, scientific stagnation?
In the case of the Elder Scrolls, it's usually because magic is a more practical solution to trying to build a machine. Why build cannons for ships when a battlemage can set the other vessel on fire? Why build a refrigerator when you can enchant an ice-chest to be cold permanently. You get the idea. Not the most elegant answer but its been alluded to and is most probable.
@@Infected_Apple Im not sure whether thats the case or its just Bethesda continually dumbing-down the magic. When it comes to tech, you may have a point, but to be fair the furthest we've seen on the timeline is Skyrim and something tells me the Nords aren't going to be the ones with the fanciest technology.
@@andrewmosby6004 the ancient chimer as well with their strongholds with propylon chambers, the ayleids almost all historical races have more advanced civilisations concerning magic and technology. Though dumbing down and lazy writing since morrowind probably does a lot for how that comes across
I find it to be fairly endemic to the genre as a whole. Magic may be 'common' but it is still expensive for outsiders to utilize. Industrious and clever individuals would still exist, trying to exploit opportunities.
I was doing a modded run of Skyrim Together with my buddy, I played a greatsword wielding Nord juggernaut and he was play a Redguard yicudan sword singer (so we were pretty anti-elf), we had wintersun installed so we eventually came across the shrine of Y’ffre, I asked him, “Who the fuck is Yiffy?” He responded with, “They’re wood elves, they worship gods of that weird shit man.” I was legitimately curious as to who this guy was but never got around to looking in to it, your video sated my inquisitiveness, thank you.
It's just beasts you can't turn into. Like Hircine's Lycanthropes. You are VERY MUCH allowed to use the power invested in you by Y'ffre to become a *writhing mass of tree and animal* when push comes to shove. Btw that's called a "Wild Hunt" and is available to all under the Green Pact.
English is not my native language but I still understand it. This Video tho made my brain crumble. So if I understood correctly: Y'ffre is reason, but not reasoning behind mortal actions, or not only. Y'ffre is the answer to "why is the sky blue" or why is gravity a thing. Why do people die or why is honey mead better than black briar's. ???
I’m still confused how yffre works into the creation myth of mundus. Did he give up his omnipotence like the other Aedra to become the earth bones? Or is he something entirely different?
Iffre magic? same thing as the dwemer harmonic magic? Iffre made the ground the form of things the dwemer dug with magic so same magic? the dwemer went back to the "ooze" 7:09
the godhead isnt in any pantheon as it's impossible to know what the godhead is (if it's even real) no he's not lorkhan if anything yffre is a earth bone
Me: oh wow finally we will Dance in Fire and explore mysterious Valenwood, see the different creatures and ride on Falinesti. ESO: Ello, it's MARY POPPINS! We're just cheery urchins with an art of gold. Sorry about Falinesti mate, some wierdo cat god alf inched it for some bird. Me: But you eat your dead gran right? ESO: Bleedin Yffre mate, ar you two septims short of a full chest, we ain't done no cannibalism in centuries, sure as an altmers head is up 'is clean elven arse. Someone been spinning you a right tale and no mistake.
@@BestKCL Not really, only in vanilla, and even then it's not any more true than what BGS did to the nords in Skyrim. Murkmire in particular pulls no punches and goes all the way crazy lorebooks are real.

@@andrewmosby6004 Tamriel seems to have regressed more though both in arcane and mundane tech.
@@Infected_Apple Im not sure whether thats the case or its just Bethesda continually dumbing-down the magic. When it comes to tech, you may have a point, but to be fair the furthest we've seen on the timeline is Skyrim and something tells me the Nords aren't going to be the ones with the fanciest technology.
@@andrewmosby6004 the ancient chimer as well with their strongholds with propylon chambers, the ayleids almost all historical races have more advanced civilisations concerning magic and technology.
Though dumbing down and lazy writing since morrowind probably does a lot for how that comes across
I find it to be fairly endemic to the genre as a whole. Magic may be 'common' but it is still expensive for outsiders to utilize. Industrious and clever individuals would still exist, trying to exploit opportunities.
Not gonna lie, Bosmer may very well be my favorite race :3
Hurry up and make the podcast about falmer I need something to listen to on my way to work
Nice, my favorite race.
I was doing a modded run of Skyrim Together with my buddy, I played a greatsword wielding Nord juggernaut and he was play a Redguard yicudan sword singer (so we were pretty anti-elf), we had wintersun installed so we eventually came across the shrine of Y’ffre, I asked him, “Who the fuck is Yiffy?” He responded with, “They’re wood elves, they worship gods of that weird shit man.”
I was legitimately curious as to who this guy was but never got around to looking in to it, your video sated my inquisitiveness, thank you.
Beautiful 🌌🌟
Last time I was this early, Tiber Septim was still Talos
Y'ffre, Jephre, God of trees and music. The first of the bones of the earth. I hearby swear to never take on the form of a monster.
It's just beasts you can't turn into. Like Hircine's Lycanthropes. You are VERY MUCH allowed to use the power invested in you by Y'ffre to become a *writhing mass of tree and animal* when push comes to shove.
Btw that's called a "Wild Hunt" and is available to all under the Green Pact.
Hey i was wondering if you were transported to the realm of Elder Scrolls what Deadra or Aedra would you worship?
English is not my native language but I still understand it. This Video tho made my brain crumble.
So if I understood correctly:
Y'ffre is reason, but not reasoning behind mortal actions, or not only. Y'ffre is the answer to "why is the sky blue" or why is gravity a thing. Why do people die or why is honey mead better than black briar's. ???
Jive-talking Y’ffre and the Secret of the Ooze.
Any chance we could find out what mod u use for filming as some of these locations i'd luv to visit :)
I JUST got Songs of Green on XB1.
were are ya'lls builds! i misss themee
I’m still confused how yffre works into the creation myth of mundus. Did he give up his omnipotence like the other Aedra to become the earth bones? Or is he something entirely different?
Y'ffre - Jephre - Jauffrey
What is Todd trying to tell us?
I used to get an arrow in the knee until I got an arrow in the knee
Basically it's +100 speechcraft.
Iffre magic? same thing as the dwemer harmonic magic?
Iffre made the ground the form of things
the dwemer dug with magic
so same magic?
the dwemer went back to the "ooze" 7:09
*chuckles* yiff
So the bosmer write fanfiction ?
The bosmer would argue there is no fanfiction, only canon.
I was early enough to not see any dislikes! Hell yeah.
I see 4 of them now. Pretty low for the 1 and a half hour mark.
You know the rules and so do i
I feel like this video is specifically for me.
Grats dude :D Now where’s my mud crab video!
@@SimpIejack
S00n
So wheres the y'ffre merch tshirt with bosmeri symbol?
Straight out of the Bosmernogion.
So is Yffre Lorkhan, the Godhead, or both?
the godhead isnt in any pantheon as it's impossible to know what the godhead is (if it's even real)
no he's not lorkhan if anything yffre is a earth bone
ah so Y'ffre is to blame for the annoying nirnroot sound
It's possible that's Lorkhan instead.
Awesome.
More Bosmer vids
What's that font called ?
3:55 "Hey guys...". Ridiculously long intro.
I guess Gyro was a descendant to this people.
Can we get Adidas and Star wars Collab lore ? Next drop lookin so creamy my jeans can't take it 😭
What
Not to be mistaken for Yiffre, lord of furries and good friend of Sanguine and Hircine
Não 🎉🎉🎉😂😂axz
Me: oh wow finally we will Dance in Fire and explore mysterious Valenwood, see the different creatures and ride on Falinesti.
ESO: Ello, it's MARY POPPINS! We're just cheery urchins with an art of gold. Sorry about Falinesti mate, some wierdo cat god alf inched it for some bird.
Me: But you eat your dead gran right?
ESO: Bleedin Yffre mate, ar you two septims short of a full chest, we ain't done no cannibalism in centuries, sure as an altmers head is up 'is clean elven arse. Someone been spinning you a right tale and no mistake.
Underrated comment, ESO always chooses the easiest, most boring, and uninteresting versions of the lore
@@BestKCL Not really, only in vanilla, and even then it's not any more true than what BGS did to the nords in Skyrim. Murkmire in particular pulls no punches and goes all the way crazy lorebooks are real.
So he's an aaedra ?
technically no he's what's called the 'earth bones'
and its aedra not aaedra
Bosmer are the weirdest race in TES games indeed
