Skyrim's Greatest Mystery, Ever - The Fate of Uriel V
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ย. 2024
- Skyrim and indeed the entire Elder Scrolls universe, expose us to a number of unanswered questions and unexplained narratives. However, perhaps the greatest mystery of The Elder Scrolls franchise, and one that nearly shaped Skyrim itself, is unknown fate of Emperor Uriel Septim the fifth - The Emperor who went missing. Uriel's story is an incredible one and his mysterious fate may very well shape The Elder Scrolls franchise as we know it. So today we'll be taking a look and analyzing the tale of Uriel Septim V.

Wait, but if your character is a Dragonborn, can he be a descendant of Uriel V?
I mean..nothing in the game itself discounts that possibility. But all the Septims are supposedly gone, so it's not likely.
not if your an argonian or khajiit
Yeppp, That's feels so yeah
@@BigBangAttack-mt6pz That's not true. The Graybeards tell you at the beginning of the game that other Dragonborns could also exist. Plenty of Dragonborns have existed together in lore.
@@BigBangAttack-mt6pz no, more than one dragonborn can live. Uriel Septim VII had his five sons and they and him were all dragonborns
“We’ve already been in this video for well over 20 minutes.” Nate, you can talk about mysteries and theories for hours and I will not stop watching.
I second this motion. I too could watch a video several hours long if nate was presenting it. Heck i already watch fudgemuppet videos that are 2 hours long or longer that describe the AREAS of skyrim. Nates would be just as heavenly.
Same! I already try to watch nate's videos while playing skyrim but i am always watching something thats history of skyrim related and watch the video instead XD. That is how interesting Nate's videos are
I third this motion! These videos are so interesting and goes deep into the lore!
Skyrim could easily defeat the Dominion, just give the immortal children a torch and a map to the nearest Thalmor base.
Now that's a reference

Hello. I normally don't comment videos, but I just wanted to say that I really appreciated how you adapted the events told in lore using Skyrim and custom-made mods. I know that isn't easy to do, and you went the extra mile doing it. Very good job.
I’m a little late to your videos but I’ve been playing The elder scrolls games for roughly 30 years now. The lore is by far my favorite part and I can tell the amount of work you put in to your videos.
Omg Katarn xD
Lol normally dont comment? Should nate feel honored or something?
@@PointSouthAndSee No, but it means that it left me such a good impression that I went out of my way to break the habit. :)
@@PointSouthAndSee no more honored than you should feel for pointing it out...
Bro it would’ve been insane to see a 600 year old, dragon magic charged, Uriel V, riding on the back of a huge ass dragon with his army of dragon and snake people behind him.
who knows, maybe his the main antagonist in Elder Scrolls VI? Hell he could even be the main character!
Imagine it starts another war with Ulfric
@@xboxemoji4773 yeah, iMaGiNe!
And the Dwemer return at the same instance the Daedra lead a Full Assault in Elder Scrolls 7.

@@hypermaeonyx4969 Main Character isnt that likely I think, at least a ton of people would be disappointed in that choice I guess. Takes away even more roleplay potential than being the dragonborn in Skyrim, which already was too restricting for some
Man If only I could talk about actual life skills as well as I could talk about every single Skyrim Daedra
Amen ta that. : P
if only being a scholar of tamriel history could pay the bills
my coworker and I talk about like deep lore stuff from magic, warhammer, star wars, skyrim, halo, and things like that Wednesday I plan on bringing up fire emblem
When Todd Howard runs out of provinces on Tamriel, he might do one of these thing
A.) Go to another continent (Akavir, Atmora, etc)
Or
B.) Figure our a way to sell Skyrim to us.
These geniuses made so many continents and provinces that they could milk way more games out of the elder scrolls three or four of them take place in cyrodill who knows.

I like the idea of a Septim returning to free the human lands from elven domination and reclaim his empire.
Yeah the empire needs any and all help they can get
Could be a descendant of Uriel V.
He did in a sense. If you played Skyrim.
@@DickyReeves You mean the dragonborn?
But not all elves are bad. Maybe some would join him against the Thalmor.
Maybe they weren't snake people, but rather dragon people. Since Akavir means land of the dragons, it would make sense. It would also explain why they would yield to the dragonborn, who's known for slaying thousands of dragons. Maybe that "army of dragons" was really just the forces of tsaesci being ruled by Uriel.
I wanna make sure I save this in my mind
Yooooooooooooooooooooooo
Argonians? Lizard people basically lmao.
The tsaeci are snake people I think it would've been noticed by reman I ii or iii that there dragon guards where actually dragon people I don't think they are
One way that Uriel The Fith may have survived was via. the same way that Miirak had survived so long. There have been multiple accounts (to my knowledge) of Immortality in TES Lore besides Vampirism. If Uriel was as Ambitious as this entire video claims, him wanting to live longer so he can conquer doesn't seem too far-fetched seeing as the Septim bloodline is quite literally a bloodline of conquerers.
Neloth is at least 400 years old, and there was a dunmer who was over 4,000 years old. Magic is the answer, if he were to use magic I'm more than certain he could live even to this very day.
@@babygurleatsshickennuggits4201 to be fair elves lives hundreds of years even without magic though some do indeed enhance their life with magic

Here, ill mark it on your map: X

That about the Dragons on Akavir will actually make sense with the strange things that where happening to the Weathe, since we already know on TES V the Dragonborn can learn Shouts to clear the weather or to call out a Storm. So it can open the possibility to dragons helping the Akavirs to win the war.
I bet there's dances the dragonmen know that please the dragonspirits
I doubt that as the lore states that the Tsaesci sought to hunt down and kill all the dragons (they enslaved the Red Dragons of Akavir but the Black dragons escaped to Po' Tun, a war broke out and most dragons either died or fled to Tamriel).
However, I'm going to toss my own crazy theory out there.
What if Ka'Po'Tun is actually Uriel V? Ka'Po'Tun's greatest enemy is the Tsaesci and he is set on destroying them and then conquering Tamriel. He is also the only one of the Ka'Po'Tun to have transformed into a dragon, something we know is possible for the dragonborn. Perhaps there is a mysterious power native to Akavir that stabilized Uriel's transformation so that he did not die as Martin did. We know the Tsaesci at least posses a power similar to the Thu'um so there could be other secrets that are hidden in the continent.
@@WWYD0 I really like this theory
Bissin No, Tsaesci's enemy has always been the Dragons. They needed a Dragonborn in order to help them against their enemies. That's why Tsaesci bowed and surrendered to a Dragonborn, Ka'Po'Tun can't be Uriel V. Also, Dragonborns can't transform into a dragon form. Martin Septim transformed into an Akatosh form, which Akatosh decided to do in order to protect Nirn from the Daedric Prince. So no, they cannot transform into one and if they can Miraak could've done it a long time ago especially with the Daedric Prince of Knowledge giving him knowledge. Dragonborn stands for a mortal with dragon blood running in it's veins making them part dragon part mortal so they don't have the power to transform into full dragon.
@@BakedPotatoYT1 So why can't Uriel V be Ka'Po'Tun? You never really covered why he can't be.
And Hermaeus Mora does not hold all knowledge, this is seen when we have to convince the Skall to give up the secrets of their own to Mora in exchange for learning a new shout. Because of this is it not inconceivable that Mora does not know how to transform oneself into a dragon, which seems to be an intimate knowledge of the Ka'Po'Tun who as far as we know do not even acknowledge Mora's existence.
We know that transforming oneself into a dragon is supposedly possible if the inconsistently reliable sources on Akavir are to be believed. It would stand to reason that one with dragon blood in them would have a better chance of this transformation than one without any dragon blood at all.
Well, considering the fact that our dragon born in Skyrim can walk around with an arrow sticking out of their face, I think Uriel the fifth is just fine.
what about an arrow to the knee?
right i love that we can take several to the face yet 1 worthless guard quits after taking just one to the knee

Okay this story is very intriguing, I’ve watched it multiple times. Todd Howard stated recently that he would like the gamers to spend a decade playing TES6. One of the most obvious ways to ensure gamers can do that would be to officially bring big collaborations like Beyond Skyrim to a vanilla game like allowing players to explore multiple lands and possibly international territory. The mystery behind Uriel V could be one of the main quests that expand the players exploration across seas to Akavir. Hopefully they can include it TES6.
The real mystery: do you get to the cloud district very often?
Reece Cowell What are you saying? Of course they don’t.
No i actually dont ever go up there
Honestly I had no idea what the cloud district was for like 3 years

Same here.
Would love to see a top 5 factions you've probably never heard about video. I remember reading about one called the The Beautiful and it was Altmer terrorist group that tried to destroy the Crystal tower, and murdered a kings daughter

@@metetural9140 No dates I can find, it just says they appeared towards the end of the Third Era in the Summerset Isles
Now I'm imagining Uriel V going back to Tamriel with a fleet of ships with Tsaesci on board and a fleet of Dragons flying above and behind the ships.
You make him sound like Daenerys Targaryen 😂
Maybe TES can give us the Game of Thrones we deserved.
@@FellishBeast "don't worry the dragons will be here very soon."
800 yrs later "anytime now."
That's actually epic as hell!
Imagine if that's what happens in Elder Scrolls 6. The Empire makes the biggest comeback the world of Nirn has ever seen against the Thalmor.
Honestly I really like the idea of Uriel coming back to right the wrongs in the next game just thinking that the is a struggle to try and overpower the dominion again and then Uriel ducking Septim shows up from Akavir after being supposedly dead to help reclaim and defeat the dominion would be so FREAKING COOL
Thank you Nate for keeping us all entertained! And never forget, Skyrim is a massive game with many secrets. But Skyrim isn't talking.
Do you think maybe nate is actually skyrim itself and he's telling us all these secrets and tiny details because Bethesda won't? I mean have you ever seen nate or skyrim in the same room together?

Hi Nate, I just wanna say this is my favorite video from you. I think you should do more on this style, going in depth for each fact you talk about! I also think you should talk about other games in the TES and cover them the way you do Skyrim! No matter what though, I'll always appreciate your content.
In my humble opinion...by this kind of storytelling You made unquestionably best video by far. Just a journey through one, long, amazing story that could just go on for much longer. Just GREAT!
I really hope that somewhere down the line, maybe after ES6, we get a game where the main focus is in Akavir!
Nah I want to experience the argonians in black marsh seriously a game all about the argonians and all they went through

@@DragonGunzDorian right? Lol
They could do a spin-off, or extra content like the Skyrim DLC.
There's a mod called Phoe that lets you go to a bordering akaviri island! I'll keep it honest it's not the most polished project but it is very cool and the story kept me entertained 👍
Question: could Alduin have brought back the dragons in Akavir like he did in Skyrim?
One of the books states the Tsaesci captured and ate all the dragons of Akavir
ImWelkinHere Yeah he did the time travel thing before he could be eaten
@@deltafive_o-first2417 "Eaten" is vague. It could just be a mistranslation. They also "ate the humans of Akavir".
Also Dragons still exist in Akavir as that is where they originated as far as I know. Tsaeci are also humanoid (just with a snake tail instead of legs) so I find it unlikely they *ate* dragons.
i dont think so i dont think alduin has connection to them plus dont you think alduin might have said something?
Delta Five_O-First I think the time travel thing happened after the dragons fled akavir. Now I could be mistaken, but as i understand it, The dragons came from akavir, fled the tsaeci, took up residence in places like skyrim, and from there I think the dragons would have enslaved man and the tongues would have sent alduin forward in time.
Could be wrong, But that's my interpretation.
God tier video. I love how you visualize lore books and also the editing and chronology of explaining this piece of theory is superb.
I've watched probably 90% of your videos since this pandemic started thank you so much for making these videos. I've never beat Skyrim (yet) but with so much info and people I was constantly confused about what exactly was going on and your videos have cleared the clouds for me. Thanks again Nate
Nate, you're the only channel that actively keeps my love for Skyrim so high. I love learning about Atmora and i think you're the only channel that knows EVERYTHING🙏🙏
Fudgemuppet
easy pete nope
I have a funny doubt: the dragonborn emperors used to wear their Amulet of Kings (the one Martin Septim destroyed), right? We can presume that Uriel was wearing it when he invaded Akavir and was killed. But since his body was never recovered and his death is shrouded in mistery, how does de Amulet pop up back in Cyrodiil for his son (and descendants) to wear again?
blame the bourgeoisie spies
Idk, that seems kind of irresponsible to me. You'd think he'd leave the amulet with his son and rightful heir, so incase something happens to him, the dragonfires could be relit.
uuuhhhh a dragon break did it
I doubt he'd take the VERY IMPORTANT HOLY DRAGON RELIC with him TO THE FRONTLINE WAR WITH A PEOPLE WHO SUPPOSEDLY ATE THE DRAGONS.
Todd!!!!! A PLOTHOLE!
Considering the fact that the Tsaesci are some kind of reptiles, maybe their species is somehow related to the dragons? Maybe they are some kind of lesser dragons or something, and that is why they just surrendered when they heard the emperor shout, they considered him, the dragonborn, to be their superior, you know, dragon soul and all that. Maybe the people of Tamriel were right about the fact that the dragons from Akavir were extinct long ago, and the name "Akavir" doesn't refer to the actual dragons, but to the Tsaesci, as them being the "dragons" that inhabit the continent. I know it doesn't make that much sense, but there may be some truth to this. What do you think?
Anyway, it's just a theory that came to mind while watching the video (a great one as always, btw).
The Tsaesci are probably humanoids based on the people of east Asia.
Interesting Theory but i don't think its real because the Tsaesci are known for hunting and eating Dragons, which is the reason why a lot of Dragons moved to Tamriel(i'm not sure about that). I think more that the Tsaesci want to kill al Dragons, thats why they don't want to kill any Dragonborns because they are the Ultimate Dragonkillers and maybe it is an Unholy thing in there Religion to kill a Dragonborn. That is maybe the Reason why the remaining Tsaesci after the Invasion of Tamriel created the Blades Organisation to protect and serve the Dragonborn Emperor
@@arakor8962 Maybe they are so obsessed with dragons that they want to become dragonborns but can't figure it out and hence when they are so quick to surrender and protect. Also a theory
Humans that became half reptile creatures similar to dragons because they lusted for the power of dragons? idk
@@slightlydumbfounded1229 That one with becoming Dragonborns could be real, in The Elder Scrolls Online there is a Dungeon with an Anicent Vampire Emperor who found an injured Dragon in that Dungeon. In the Last Boss fight the Vampire Emperor sucked up all of the Dragon Blood and then somehow gained Dragonborn Powers, but i don't know if this Powers would be temporary or permanently because the Heroes kill the Emperor shortly after that
I see there has already been speculation below that the Dragonborn in Skyrim COULD be the descendant of Uriel V. I believe that could very well be true. If you follow the lore and play as a Nord or Human other than a Redguard, that is. It is never explained why the Dragonborn is caught crossing the Cyrodill/Skyrim border in rags anywhere in the story that I could find. So who knows, he may be the great great great grandson of Uriel V. I working on a fan fiction called Restoring the Faith so this gives me some DEFINITE ideas on filling out the story......
Ohhh~ That would be epic!
How is that story going, did you finish it, if so can we read it somewhere? Sounds interesting
That is definitely interesting, although, I doubt that
First of all, we really do not know much about Uriel V on the current canon, but if he was a Septim, it would mean that he is the ancestor of Uriel VI and the VII
The problem with that is that, although, the Emperors where described as dragonborns, they could not shoute, nor (probably) absorb dragon souls, only to ignite the flames in the Imperial City to keep the Daedra away
About the Dragonborn as the player character, eh...
You know, it it a problem with playable characters in TES
Their past left ambiguous for the better role-playing experience, sometimes to the point that we are not sure if there was even a canon past at all (hence, the mistirious appearence of the Champion of Cyrodiil in the chamber where he wasn't clearly there before, even with the fact that Champion is the only one from protagonists to have confirmed relatives
The Dragonborn might simply be the Dragonborn because Akatosh/Kinareth/Shor or whomever chose him to be one to defeat the Alduin in his current form
And it is not made easier since Dragonborn might be also a Shesarine as the Champion of Cyrodiil was
And Shesarines are known to observe really strange reality-defining powers:
- Pelinal was a time-traveller;
- Tiber Seprime assended to the ranks of Aedra;
- Wulfharth the Ashking was defeated and then resurrected;
- The Champion of Cyrodiil literally became a Daedric prince
Which can be explained by the fact that Shor is Lorkhan and that Lorkhan is in a way always opposed to Auriel/Akatosh, the God of time, whom all of the Shor's avatar seems to define one way or another
So, Dragonborn can literally be a person from the past or future and it wouldn't even be a stretch
So... yeah, it's quite hard to say if he ever was intended to have a be a descendant of anyone
(As a side note, probably the easier of all main characters to describe is the main character of Daggerfall - the agent, as he is blaitanly confirmed in the opening cinematic to be a close friend of the emperor and... well... his agent
Yet, he is probably the most influential one of all, since his actions under the order of the Emperor led to the Warp of the West, one of only 4 definitely 100% confirmed dragon breaks)
Honestly I can’t get the image of Dani going back to Westeros with her dragons and army ready to retake her throne, just insert septum for dani, probably a lot more dragons and snake people instead of unsullied.
I was so into hearing about these Akavir, I completely forgot this was about Uriel 😂
Didn’t the Nerevine travel to Akavir? Maybe the Emperor met the Nerevine.
The Emperor went in the early third era. The Neravarine went in the late third era with about a two hundred year difference

@wigglesza, Do you mean TES 6?

I enjoy this kind of content. You cover a certain part of Elder Scrolls lore. I'd like to see more of those!!
Almost seems like Uriel was drawn there somehow, like snake folk used magic or something to influence him into bringing them a feast.
This is honestly by far my favorite video of yours. It was just absolutely phenomenal. But I want to just say what I think will happen...
Like a lot of people theorize; I believe ‘TES VI: Redfall’ will be a game about the Second Great War. A battle between the Imperials and the Thalmor in Hammerfell. Not sure what will happen there, but I assume it’ll be similar to both Skyrim and Oblivion in terms of conflict. I don’t believe there’ll be much about a Uriel Septim V return... yet. There’ll be a few easter eggs in books and across the game potentially hinting at the return of Uriel V to reclaim his throne. But, you’ll first have to decide where you stand in the Second Great War. Thalmor, or Imperial? (Would like to add that I think Skyrim will be under the hands of an old Ulfric and his Kingdom would be unstable due to frequent Thalmor invasions, forcing him to seek aid from the Empire. But aid would only be given if Skyrim rejoined the Empire.)
Then, in TES: VII (I think it’ll be called ‘Homecoming’, or ‘Conquest’. Maybe just Blackmarsh since that’s where I think it’ll be), your character is locked up in a swampy prison. There are Argonians with long spears patrolling around the grand prison in which you are staying in. Your feet deep in the swampy land, your hands bound together. The Argonian guards will then escort you to a small room. You’ll be placed in shackles. The guards will torture you for a minute or two before a loud *bang* is heard. The guards begin leaving to figure out what is happening, but before they could open the door to leave the small torture room, the walls collapse. The guards dead, and you lay under rubble. You awaken to a couple individuals (who look similar to your torturers) clearing the rubble over your body. You’re badly wounded, and once you are able to see more clearly, you’re able to tell these people are not Argonians. They are dragon like individuals. A few slithering around with pikes, but most looking like humanoid snakes in armor. They begin communicating in a language you can’t quite understand. The snakes then slowly turn their gaze from eachother towards you. You hear a voice in the distance: “Wait!” You turn towards where the voice came from. A man in long silk robes only suitable for a man of great prestige. Lengthy whitish-grey hair flowing to his shoulders. He would shoo the reptiles away and you would hear a very loud noise coming from his mouth. In a tongue not similar to the other reptiles. In fact it’s hard to fathom how loud these words were. You faint as a result...
A day later, you awaken in shackles again. Can’t seem to escape them, can you? You can tell you’re no longer in the prison you were in previously. There’s a small window where you can stare at the ocean. You look around, and see mossy stone walls. You must be in Lilmoth. Footsteps are heard, and not long before you know it, it’s the same man with the whitish-grey hair. He would ask questions, mostly about the Empire. “Empire?” You would think to yourself. “What Empire, the Aldmeri Dominion?” The man’s face would turn blank. He’d take a step closer: “Excuse me?” You would think for a minute, then he’d yell: “Don’t you know? I am Uriel Septim! Leader of the Third Empire, fifth Emperor of the Imperials. Conqueror of Akavir.” You now remember. The Empire, Martin Septim, the Great Wars, a united Tamriel. You’d tell Uriel Septim V that the Empire was no more, and that the Aldmeri Dominion, a group of High Elves who originate from the Summerset Isles have conquered the Empire and Tamriel. The Septim would nod, and inform you of his plans to reclaim his spot on the throne. He would free you, and his men would escort you out, where you could then be free to realm Blackmarsh. You’d get to side with Septim and take back Blackmarsh. A couple expansions would allow you to face the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion in a final battle somewhere in southern Cyrodil.
I don’t know where to take it from here. Been writing this for about half an hour, and I’m pretty proud of it. For the few people who do read all (probably most) of this, tell me what you think.
Marking this to see if you're right lmao
Don’t know about ‘Redfall’
Where can I buy that TES VII? I would love to scream "For the Emperor" on every battle, even if it's against a torchbug (if there's any)
@@caspramio Send me a few thousand bucks so I can go to Uni for graphic design and so I can learn programming and I'd be more than happy to make a knockoff where that happens lol.
This is a really cool idea, but it makes no sense to have such a big plot point in a couple of expansions, should definitely be main game material. Also one thing I can't help but wonder is, if set in Argonia/Black Marsh, wouldn't it be kinda hard to retake the throne from there? It would almost seem to me like it would be smarter to have it set close to the Summerset Isles or on the Isles itself, to force the Aldmeri Dominion into submission, like they did with the Empire at the Battle of the Red Ring.
Also, another thing that came into mind when writing the text is that perhaps Elder Scrolls 6 could somehow already hint how Uriel would've survived? Perhaps the Dwemer didn't really get as far as many think.. Perhaps they know of something we don't, and the Tsaeci too, and therefore the Tsaeci surrendered so easily?
I know a lot of people are against ever seeing the Dwemer, or getting to know what happened to them, but I personally think that's a really boring opinion to hold, and just having all these unknowns for the Hell of it is a waste of good storytelling. It's been super interesting to ponder what happened to the Deep Folk for the last 30 years, but surely it's gotta become a plot point at some point. Considering how ES6 is most likely set in Hammerfell and/or High Rock, it'd be a pretty good time to include them (at least in a limited scope) and since they had a high presence in both provinces.
27 minutes with that smooth buttery voice? Yes please.

I've always just thought of this guy as a future plot device. Unknown if he's alive or dead etc, can bring him back to lead the renewed charge against the Thalmor. Fresh from his discoveries, etc in Akavir. Especially since they already toyed with the idea of bringing him back already.
I would love to see a return of the Septims from Akavir.
Been a long time fan keep up the good work👍
My two favorite pastimes in one video: Skyrim, and MTG (the image shown when referencing the snake men of Akavir). I love it
This is one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched in regards to The Elder Scrolls. Very well done, sir.
Original tes5: Elders Scrolls 5: return of the king
emperor* *cough cough*
dont tell ulfric
As for how it could be that the Emperor is still alive so many years later:
Alduin too showed up at another point in time.
The same could be true for Uriel.
They might have even taken it straight out of the early script and applied it to everyone's favourite Dragon Baddie instead.
So Uriel ALSO has a time-travelling Elder Scroll?
Sure, we can make up anything to justify a theory. The snakemen are human-dragon hybrids, they possess dragon-like lifespan and they gave this secret to Uriel by whatever Daedra they are worshiping. Better yet, let's make it Akatosh to reeeealy sell the time-travel story.
I mean, not really
1) Alduin is a dragon, dragons aren't born, they don't age and they don't die of natural causes. And IF they die and their soul is not absorbed, they could easily be reborn.
2) The Alduin was sent to future by the usage of the Elder Scroll, which Uriel wouldn't likely be since he wouldn't most likely bring it with him to Akavir.
He could be, actually, "preserved" in a similar way to Miraak (and I really think that the concept of Miraak was heavily inspired by Uriel V)
@@IllusiveSerbI mean, he wouldn't be the first one to time-travel just because
Pelinal Whitestrake, although, being mostly present during Allesian reign and the war with elves in the Cyrodiil, he was a actually a cyborg from future (from the time period of the Second Empire - the Reman Empire) sent into the past somehow to the Fiest Empire - Allesian Empire
(A little note: I could jumble the names a little bit, I don't really remember the currect spelling of those names)
I wish you did more videos about Morrowind or Oblivion and maybe some other games.
I just discovered your videos a week or two ago and have been catching up on all the content, but this is by far my favorite of your videos so far. I've already watched it a few times (3 or 4)
Those sound effects while you're telling stuff are killing me
The Empire's army getting OOFed is amazing
Ok this might be trivial but I just found this out. In "A night to remember" you dont have to clean up the temple, find the goat, or even get the ring if your speech skill is high enough.
27 minutes of Nate talking?! It must be my birthday.
"All of my gang is Tsaesci" - Saint Jiub quoting Uriel V
Great video man. It’s crazy how interesting and deep Elder Scrolls lore is
Loved the video, but when talking about Tod's quote, I think the real important part was "even my perspective is one version of truth". I think what he's getting at is even though they are careful they never break their lore...they also control it and at any point can just come up with any number of reasons why something happens. Most likely, at this moment, as far as anyone is concerned, Uriel V is dead, struck down by arrows. However, Bethesda can come back one day and say "Oh that was a decoy produced from a shout" or "the arrows were poisoned so he would LOOK dead so he could be captured".
I thoroughly enjoyed the deep dive into the events leading to his "disappearance", but I don't think we actually can determine his fate. Like you said, while they were working on Oblivion, they were considering bringing him back in Skyrim, so they covered that possibility, but never acted on it. So for now he still "dead".
It would have been an interesting sight to see a resurrected Potema get into a pissing match between her, the Mede dynasty, and Uriel V over who has the right to rule.
I love this channel and watch it sporadically and randomly but still lol. As a suggestion, if you want to branch away from Skyrim, maybe also start to dribble in Mysteries and stuff from say Oblivion? There's gotta be a ton of stuff people haven't found in it either despite its age
Maybe I’m just delirious from quarantine but I absolutely lost it at the sound effects around 16:50 😂
kelly anne collins it’s not that funny...
カルマK a r m a you’re right! but fortunately I am an idiot who can laugh at anything. :-)
A "gamer", complaining about quarantine? Man, get the fuck out...
I had it running in the background and thought I was listening to Kings & Generals.
Why are you the only one who has ever covered this!!!! I need to know more! I need an hour long or more story about it! You've done this so incredibly well by the way, I've watched it 5 times at least lol! Keep up the amazing work!😄😁👍👍
The akiviri knew he would be invading, so they decided to take the advantage of this to trap him, lure him into a situation where his army can be dealt with, because they potentially wanted his council or leadership. Which is why in one of the potential plotlines he comes back and somehow has an army of dragons
Its 10pm in Hungary so i decided to go early to bed then nate just uploaded a vid so i wont sleep till he is finished his talking :D
Sorry for bad english tho
Huhuuu, még egy magyar néző! :D
Your English is good enough to get your point across, so all good there.
@@szabok1999 vagyunk egy páran ;)
ez a beszéd
I can see it now: The Elder Scrolls VI: Return of the Emporer. Maybe we can have some epic LOTR scale battles against the dominion.
YES!!!
Not going to get any battles like that until Bethesda changes the engine.
What mods were being used for all of the Akaviri settlements?
Great Video, would love to see more like this. Also great lore work even though there is quite a bit of akaviri lore that was left untapped here, that might be interesting for context
Wow, you went above and beyond with this one, 10 out of 10 sir.
I wasn’t expecting the “oof”! Oh my god I’m dying! Lol
I was rewatching this video today and one other interpretation I came up with is... it's said that the Tsaesci tried to eat the dragons, right? What does that sound like to you? That sounds like a dragonborn absorbing a dragon's soul. Maybe some of them, or their rulers, were dragonborn as well. Maybe that's why they have such great reverence for dragonborns. Because dragonborns are their ruling class.
I think you kind of glossed over the fact that the book 'Mysterious Akavir' describes the snake-people as 'immortal'. That's a huge deal, and absolutely one of the reasons why Uriel V could still be alive. Perhaps as he was bleeding out, breathing his last breath, the snake-people turned Uriel V into a vampire.
Maybe they are 'immortal' because they have an artifact, or some ritual that can resurrect the dead. I think it's entirely possible that Uriel V is still alive. Maybe they discovered he was a Dragonborn, and he became an advisor to the king, or led the snake-people armies to capture the rest of Akavir. Either way, there is a lot they could do with that storyline, but it sounds like Todd Howard doesn't want to.
With them being from the land of Dragons, it would be suffice to say that if they found someone who was both man in flesh but Dragon in soul who was able to use the power of the Dragons while still in a mortals body they'd want to keep him around for longer. Maybe corpus made its way to the Island and it's already been cured the way it was in Morrowind and he's still alive with it today. I think it'd be super cool if he was still alive and kicking by the time the next game comes
This could be a future Elder scrolls, this series is just getting started there's still a lot of room for it to grow!
Hey Nate, i'm here watching your videos for some years and never ask anything till today.
You could talk aboult what we could expect for the Elder scrolls 6.
I'm astonished at how Uriel V's expedition to Akavir shares so many similarities with Caesar's expeditions to Britain. I wonder if they used those as inspiration to some extent.
How come?
I'm honestly wondering how they're gonna explain some events of TES5 in the next game, as some events such as the emporer's death by the dark brotherhood or if skyrim became independent or not are too large of events to be explained by a dragon break.
Nate I wanted you to know it's entirely your fault that I'm now playing yet another campaign of Skyrim. I thought I'd try something no one had ever done before and be a stealth Archer.
One of my favorite pieces of apparel is the execution hood you can take when starting the dark brotherhood quest line. Makes you look like a pretty badass assassin.
I'm guessing when Uriel V was fleeing from Ionith back to Septimia that the emperor that the soldiers saw get killed was a decoy and the actual emperor was disguised as a soldier or something
They say in Elder Scrolls 6 we are going to be in hammerfell
3:38 I've just noticed that Hammerfell and High Rock look like Europe lol
Don't you mean 1:48?
@@vornamenachname3275 I just wanted to point out that it looks alike and I realised it when I've seen map at 3:38.
Pedololo yea I thought that when I frist play Skyrim
Tamriel's map is kinda based on ours, look at the pangea images en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea
@@GreyPunkWolf It's pretty cool
Hot take: Todd Howard said that there was enough content in Tamriel proper to throw us off the scent of TES VI being based in Akavir.
edit: Also, is it possible that the snake people understood Dragonborns' shouts because they are related to dragons? They're both reptiles, after all!
How are dragons reptiles?
@@toocharged ikr. They may have scales, but no...
@@toocharged actually nvm google calls them reptilian beasts
Dragons actually come from Akavir, so that’s probably why they knew what dragon shouting was and why they feared it.
I could listen to your videos for 6 hours with no skip
TES6 Plot: The Thalmor are ready to declare a total victory, the Empire is down to just the Imperial City, but they can't hold it for much longer. Then, just before the Thalmor army marches forward, a dragon swoops down and burns a massive line of them with fire breath, while Uriel V shouts "TAMRIEL, YOUR EMPEROR HAS RETURNED"
i think that if the tcaesci are vampires upon his capture if he were captured they possibly turned him into a vampire that way he could still be around for TES 6
Mayve they all worship molag baal
Imagine elder scrolls 6 or a dlc is about uriel coming back with the army of dragons and the snake people joining him against the thalmor with the dragonborn on their side and the stormcloaks it would be the best plot
Ulfric is a Thalmar spy. The Empire is the best thing for Skyrim.
We need a mod for that
14:53 what a coincidence
Please make more videos based on the books of the elder scrolls. The books in Skyrim have some pretty fascinating stories if you can be bothered to properly read them, and i would absolutely love videos about them, in the same style done here. There doesn't need to be a mystery really, you could make a video about the 2920 series, about the Wolf Queen books, or even a video discussing some of the shorter books you can find
When I first heard the Uriel V plot for Skyrim, I assumed it meant he would’ve been the villain, perhaps having gone mad
