Hey everyone! QotD: Which apocalyptic story or myth do you love most? I have a soft spot for the fact that Baldur will return from the underworld at the end and bring a new world into the light. Let me know yours down below. Stay nerdy!
~ Tim
I've waited ToO long for this... but now that's it's out, I must relish on the theorized theories that are theoretically theories of theorism... you theory?
Ok here me out here this is about the bewilder beast... the berwilder beast under berserker island is clearly smaller than valkas and dragos but it must be more than 3 years old (which is older than dragos) because the body with the dragon eye has clearly decomposed and it takes more than 3 years for this to happen and the dragon eye would have to be made before he died so that bewilder beast is older yet smaller than dragos so how does that make sense?
My favorite apocalypse story would have to be Deltora Quest. It was the first fantasy epic and it's what got me interested in writing and si-fi/fantasy novels.
I'm not sure if this counts as a story/myth, but I always liked the idea of the Big Crunch. Basically the idea is the universe is currently expanding, but eventually gravity will pull it all back together. This is analogous to throwing a ball upwards, eventually it will reach a peak and then fall back down. When the universe collapses it will basically rebound outwards, creating a second Big Bang and restarting the cycle. Unfortunately measurements have shown that the expansion is accelerating rather than slowing down, so it's more likely that the universe will just keep expanding and everything will freeze over and fade away slowly into nothing.
Hello Future Me What about the Dragonborn DLC and Mirrak?
At the end of the fight, Alduin screams: "Zu'u unslaad! Zu'u nis oblaan!" which means "I am eternal! I cannot end!" I guess that kinda implies he's really expecting to end this time.
TheLordboki At the same time though it could be like a threat or warning, telling the Dragonborn that he’ll eventually be back. Idk
@@JBunch4Lunch maybe even a threat to akatosh, saying that even he can't stop him.
Adam Xei I doubt it’s a direct threat to Akatosh, as Alduin is somewhat of an aspect of Akatosh himself if I’m understanding this correctly. If anything I expect this: alduins soul was reabsorbed by akatosh, and alduin, knowing that eventually this kalpa would come to an end, would be incarnated once more at the discretion of akatosh in order to bring forth the new age. Although I would not be surprised if akatosh devised another method of bringing forth the new age seeing as though the Dragonborn stopped alduin in his tracks in events of Skyrim
Considering how arrogant he was up to that point it seems more like denial. I suggest you watch footage of the scene as he says it in a way that's not really confident or self-assuring.
@@JBunch4Lunch Paarthurnax states that alduin is the first born of akatosh, and alduin can think for himself he threaten anyone he wants, even his father.
What I find most interesting is how momentous that final battle is when you look at the lore. Both Alduin and the Last Dragonborn are aspects of Akatosh, but it's also implied the Dragonborn may be a Shezzarine. What's more, the battle takes place in Sovngarde, which is Lorkhan's domain. So, you basically have Akatosh as Alduin fighting with Akatosh as Dovahkiin. Now, recall that dragons see the Thu'um as a debate, and you basically are seeing the physical manifestation of Akatosh's indecision regarding the mortal world, with the Lorkhanic side ultimately winning and allowing the Mundus to continue.
Damn, that's deep.
That sounds epic.
Exept there isn't really any evidence to suggest the dragonborn is a shezzarine, Tsun would have mentioned it
*boom* that's the sound of my brain exploding from my tinfoil hat
Akatosh is still directly related to the existence of both Alduin and the dragonborn though, so the idea could still hold
My favourite apocalypse story is when New Zealand takes over the world while being commanded by our new lord Mishka. As a true Kiwi I for one welcome our new overlord
Even I, an Aussie, welcome our new leader, Mishka!
Hello fellow nz'er
If Lorkan and there by shor has become a part of akatosh’s personality then it could be that the Dragonborn is a shazarin, a incarnation of shor just as Talos was...
All of this could explain the Dragonborn and his role in the universe perfectly...
My favorite world ending apocalypse story would be either Divinity: Original Sin's or Dragon Age's, both for the same reason. In the past of both universes, the world ended in a way that literally broke it and left it fundamentally fragmented and devastated in a way that never recovered. Banishment of the Eternals and Scarring of the Veil for Original Sin and Creation of the Veil in Dragon Age lore. However, in both settings, you get to see that even after such a dark event that took place on a scale that is far greater than any mortal and human achievements in the setting, there is still a world that thrives and lives on. I mostly like them because it gives a sense of continuity and reincarnation of a universe, even if not rejuvenation of it entirely.
My Theory:
The world eater was eaten by the gods so he is under control until he could fulfill his destiny.
Also, it's not the earth serpent that will bring ragnarok, but much rather it was Surtur, the King of the Fire Giants. The earth serpent was to eat the earth.
No, the corrupted version of Alduin was destroyed so the Akatosh can eat the world.
I've played this game for countless hours and I never questioned his soul not being obsorbed.
Maybe Akatosh was worried if the Dragonborn absorbed Alduin's soul, he might become a larger shard than Akatosh himself.
perhaps
I, too, have a fondness for Ragnorok forr pretty much the reasons you noted.
Ugh, alduin will return to preform his true purpose again. Alduin is a force that’ll always be, to end mundus and restart it. So I think the game already tells what happens to him when he dies
Good video man keep it up
Paarthurnax or Akatosh can be next enemy and world eater i guess
What is marukhati crisis?
I actually think Acktosh is actively rebeling angst the rules of the gods and interfering with the mortals hes trying to save them.
I think that those who were seeking to unmake the world wanted to use alduin to this end. They might’ve even manipulated events so that the dragonborn would be out of the way when he was no longer needed. If this is the case, it could be why Mirrak awakened during the 4th era. Perhaps they intend to kill the last dragonborn in tes6.
You should definitely make a video on mantling
this is so sad...poor father. He never dies he only gets moved in time. How dare that asshole try to get dragons soul?
Do what happened to shuki ( the last airbender)
Dragon born never absorbed his soul because they share the same sOul
I think his soul fused with Akatosh
Why is Tim animated now please help
The soul could’ve been absorbed by Talos, after all he is Dragonborn
Talos only has one dragon soul, he isn't big enough to absorb Alduin
The_Drop Bear ah
You know it's always possible in game scholars are wrong
...how long ago did SKYRIM come out
Nah we kicked his ass so hard his would flew to the skies from the force of our blows
FIRE GIANTS FIRE GIANTS FIRE GIANTS FIRE GIANTS FIRE GIANTS!!!!!
Holy shit, Akatosh is genius, So Akatosh being the god of time and when time shattered, he lost most of his shards like you said, I don't think he purposely created the dragons yet the dragons were born from this time shattering. Akatosh DID create the Dragonborn, a mortal that can basically go and collect these Time Shards aka Dragons. When you defeat a dragon, you collect their soul, an aspect of time itself, you become like a vessel that stores the shards of time. Your sole purpose is to collect these shards for Akatosh, and we see this when the Laat Dovahkiin defeats Miraak, we absorb not only his soul, but all of the Dragon souls Miraak himself have absorbed. Akatosh absorbing the largest shattered shard being Alduin means that once the Laat Dovahkiin dies, Akatosh will regain nearly all of the shattered shards of time and probably regain his power that he lost during the creation of Mundus
I'm pretty sure Alduin is based of nidhogg, not jormungand. Think about it, a black, spiky dragon that gnaws the roots of the world.
Definitely takes inspiration from both, but Jormungandr being the one who triggers the apocalypse is a pretty important thing.
~ Tim
Also, Jormungandr kinda envelopes the world much like aldiun will consume nirn
No Jormungand does not start ragnarok skjal and hjati do when they catch the sun and moon and devour them
Thank god for the new god of war
I always thought of him like the Norse Wolf Fenerik (im like 90% sure i got that wrong) basically he was one of Loki's sons who was an invinciple wolf. The gods knew he was up to no good so they wanted to chain him up, some stuff happens, he gets chainee and stabbed through his mouth so he cant bite of the chains and is left by a cave where when he escapes he will bring about Ragnorak and the end of the world.
It fled from shame because the boss battle was so bad
Better than the original half life boss battle. That one was literally just occasionally ducking behind a rock and shooting a giant space baby.
Pretty sure there is a mod that gives Alduin 5 boss phases.
Sovngarde > Xen
The animation of Alduin dying was longer than the boss battle
Akatosh: "Nice I just got Alduins so-"
Mirrak: "Not this time Akatosh this ones mine."
This puts a smile on my Face.
So theoretically, the Dragonborn could eventually get strong enough to defeat one of the weaker Gods.... And then absorb their power and keep going up the chain to become the God of time again... Interesting
No, as how can only absorb dragon soul
Well according to thise video thag appears to be untrue. Theoretically he could consume the essence of any Aedra. But the dragons are the only Aedra you encounter in Skyrim from what I recall.
@Kevin Picton
They beat dagon, but it took two of them and one was crippled.
And that was on mundus, an avatar of dagon took two members of the tribunal at their height to take down.
@@MrSpartanspud
You can't consume other aedra, the Dovahkiin is a shard of aka, so he can absorb other smaller shards
@Kevin Picton
Vivec achieved CHIM, something only he and Tiber every achieved.
The tribunal had only part of the power of a Daedric prince, on nirn no prince can manifest their true power so it took two of them to beat an avatar of dagon.
Sheo literally makes you into him, so he can turn back into Jygglag
My guess is exactly what Arngeir said.
Akatosh pulled Alduin’s soul to his realm. Locked away as punishment, while still being allowed to return when the true end times would arrive.
Akatosh also never intervened in Oblivion, the fusing of the power of Martin’s bloodline and the crystalized blood of Akatosh (the Amulet of Kings he broke to release its powers) allowed Martin to become an Avatar of Akatosh for a short while.
The real one however was not there or acting through him.
The Amulet of Kings is the crystallized blood of Shezarr the Missing God and Missing sibling of the Divines.
That’s like saying God didn’t intervene to resurrect Jesus he just came back to life on his own.
@@striker8961 Dragons are fragments of the God Akatosh, who was shattered into pieces.
The more parts that are drawn to the Aka oversoul, the more Akatosh, Akatosh becomes.
Alsuin is just another small part of Akatosh.
Don't compare real religions to Elder scrolls.
It runs on dream logic.
Jormungandr is not destined to eat the world, only to kill Thor, after he kills it.
Thank you
I thought it was both, after Fenrir (spelling?) breaks the chains and begins part of the apocalypse and eats Odin. After Fenris then came the brother; the one to swallow the sun. Then Jormungandr would then unbite himself come up and get revenge for something, killing Thor and swallowing the world? After the Long Winter of three years (or something)
Thor dies of the searpents venom after killing it and takes somewhere between nine to ten steps before falling and dying
Ah, The site then was wrong I will go and fix it later. Thanks
Jordan Petersons Lobster Army
Your username is pure gold lol
All hail lord MISHKA may he forever more be beautiful and divine
All hail Lord MISHKA
Gtfo
I don’t care about what happen to Alduin’s soul I just want to see how he felt when he learn that he’s the one that saved the Dragonborn in the beginning
Right? If he waited five minutes literally everything standing in his way would be dead and the Civil War would be over.
@@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez exactly
@@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez No when he came to helgen he knew the dragonborn was there but didn't knew who it was
He saw ralof and you together and well if you are a nord you have the shouts and shit like that and there is you the dragonborn because he just came from the time loop he was dazed and didn't knew what was happening
So he wanted to kill people to see if the dragonborn would react to him and well nothing happend so he just waited for the dragonborn to come to him and then you did
@@stavalamo6643 No, he knew the Dragonborn was there so he saved him so he can fulfill his destiny to defeat the Time God.
I believe Akatosh to be a Dragonborn God for lack of a better term. His soul Dragon and the body that of the Elven God "Auriel". The Dragon breaks ripped Akatosh apart, losing his essence thus the Dragons running on Nirn. Little pieces of his Dragon soul. The more souls absorbed the more like of Akatosh you probably become. If the last Dragonborn absorbed all the remaining Dragons he could be more of Akatosh then Akatosh himself is right now. Each Dragon is is Akatosh, a fragment of time. Time is always changing and different then before, thus the many dragons. The physical manifestation of time. Akatosh was time's beginning, Alduin time's end but as physical manifestations.. the last Dragonborn is a continuation of time and the more merciful nature of Akatosh. In a fight he'd probably use the Thuum, hell Kyne was able to use it as well as Tsun Implying multiple Gods might use the Thuum. That might be how they use their divine powers, with the Thuum just more precisely and powerful as they are Gods. I mean the Thuum can basically do anything, it allows you to warp the world around you as the last DB so it makes sense. Anyway I think Akatosh is collecting himself through the Dragonborns and eventually he'll be whole again. Thus once he is whole again the cycle of time restarts because of it. He needs Alduin to wipe everything out so Akatosh can get his soul back in one piece. Alduin didn't do that so he got sent back to Akatosh, He sends Dragonborns to aid or change things to lead the events of Nirn to his end plan. The Last Dragonborn and Alduin are both his personalities fighting. His Dragon aspect vs his human aspect in a verbal argument about the fate of time..
I know I'm years too late for this conversation but, what if the reason Akatosh wants the actual kalpa to continue was because of the destuction of the Heart of Lorkhan. When you thinks about it, after Lorkhan became the world, whoever had its heart could control reality on the Mortal Realm. And when it was destroyed by the Nerevarine, maybe it sacrificed any future kalpa because the "Earth" won't exist. Thus, because this kalpa is the last one, Akatosh wants it to keep going and it sent the "Last Dragonborn".
I love this theory because it explains why Akatosh would wand to mantle (aka replace) Alduin's place in order to prevent the end of the world, because it is the last one.
It also shows how terrifiying Dagoth Ur was as a villain, that the Nerevarine had to sacrifice all the following kalpas just to stop Him to mantle the God-Head and supplant the "Dreamer".
Dude, it's 4:30 in the morning. After a night of partying, I'm binge watching your Elder Scrolls lore videos. Amazing work, well done.
If the dragon born absorbed Alduin's soul, would he then have the power, and be considered the new World Eater?
He could never absorb his soul. Alduin is an equal to Akatosh.
I'm writing a fanfic epilogue to Skyrim that "features" Alduin as a Dragonborn antagonist who's mantling the role of Alduin through his actions on Nirn :D
Do you have a link ?
This should be a Mod btw
Do you the link now?
Theory: What if the last Dragonborn did not absorb Alduins soul, because they already have it? What if the last Dragonborn IS Alduin? His soul sent back in time and placed into a mortal body after his defeat. Because the only thing powerful enaugh to defeat Alduin, is Alduin.
True. That could be why.
But hey, that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY! Thanks for watching!
(I'm typing before I watch, let's see if I have the same conclusion)
Well, alduin is needed for the calper cycle to continue, and it's impossible to stop those, so my guess was that you just forced him to regenerate for an extremely long amount of time? Like, you bought nirn at least another few thousand years, but he's a vital part of that universe, the third and final aspect o akatosh. Auriel create the timeline, Akatosh is the embodiment of time, and alduin devours it, creating room for the newer cycle. There world kinda can't exist without him, so he's deffinitly not dead, just...extremely crippled.
Edit: well, he went into it with a lot more detail, but basically yeah, I got it! Great video
Another cool idea has to do with Dragon metaphysics. If dragon souls go to the strongest dragon there, then it is reasonable that Alduin's soul did not go to you. Why? Because you are in Sovngarde and that's in Aetherius. Aetherius is where the divine's essences are. So, the soul goes to the biggest dragon present, Akatosh/Auri-el/Aka/Aka-Tusk or whatever name you use.
Minor Nitpick: It's kalpa, not calper.
Yeah, sorry about the typo, haven't touched elder scrolls lore in a while. But yeah, dragons and the divine that represents them are easily one of the most fascinating things about the lore, and I'm glad to see videos like these trying to help explain things like it, even if I myself don't fully understand!
So you're saying that Alduin's essentially going through (for a few thousand years) what Durnehviir went through for what, 5 minutes? Wow. I just hope he doesn't pull off that trick as fast.
So in this case the deadric princes are only wasting their time to gain influence on nirn while they lose their influence after every kalpa?
He says when you kill him something along the lines of "I can not die, I am eternal"! (in fear by the way) so it seems like he's actually dead
Perhaps the Dragonborn becomes the new world eater after defeating Alduin. People always ask where the Dragonborn’s soul will go when they die, but maybe they are destined to live eternally, to the point where they grow so powerful and so bored with this reality that they destroy it themselves in order to create something new.
Yea, you COULD make all that calculations from books... OR you could simply say Akatosh wanted his eldest son with him because the greybeards tell you that Alduin is the Firstborn of Akatosh and Paarthurnax being the second. Maybe it was Family love that Akatosh considered for Alduins fate
Alduin isn't literally Akatosh' son. They are actually equals in "level". Both are shards of the oversoul Aka. Alduin is just the first being coming to life after Akatosh (start of time) was created.
@@MustardSkaven Oh, thanks for the missing bit of Lore. i don't think i ever read about that anywhere. do you have a in-game source to find the information, or any other citation?
@@askdeterminataleandaus5670 I'm afraid I don't have any at hand besides years of browsing lore sites and discussions.
TH-camr Zaric Zhakaron has a video on the creation and he seems to agree.
Aurie-El being the conception of time, Akatosh being the start and passing of time and Alduin being the end of time.
I was having mehrunes dagger while fighting alduin and I just one shot killed him
Alduin, Akotosh, and Auriel are the same being. They each represent a different aspect of the divine concept of time. Auriel is the beginning of time, Akotosh is the progression of time, and Alduin is the end of time. They are all different aspects of the same being. when alduin says he is the first born of akotash he means it in the same way as jesus was the first born of god. The father, the son and the holy spirit are all different parts of the same concept of divinity. This is one of the deeper lore concepts creatively added by the writers of the game.
Citation needed
They aren't "the same being" but they are on equal levels. All 3 are shards of oversoul Aka.
I recently bought the Special Edition of Skyrim and Downloaded a few mods.
Now I go to Hogwarts and use Avada Kadabra on everything to kill it in one hit while using the legendary armor of shrek the onion lord.
And I also have unlimited sprint.
That’s canon.
Don't be daft
The only onion lords are the knights of catarina
Choo choo
Mods everyone, only mods could do dumb shit like this
Balance in all things
Yay, dragons! And Skyrim! One of which I know absolutely everything, and one of which I don't know anything about.
This is going to be great!
Playing skyrim with gf.
Me: and that's Talos, he was a man but also became kind of like a God, I think. There's like 9 gods, they're those statues we get blessed with.
Gf: wow you know a lot about the lore.
This video:
Following your argumentation: Wouldn't the fusion of Alduin's shard of Aka and Akatosh's shard plant the desire to end the kalpa once again in Akatosh even if the Marukathi Selectives removed those?
Absorbing knowledge and power is not the same as your desire. Even if you killed someone and got the power to destroy the world. It does not mean that you wish to destroy it, for example if this someone wanted to destroy the world and you killed that someone for it and absorbed the power to destroy the world, it would not make you want to destroy the world. Although I do not know how it works for the aspect of the dragon, like how Alduin is the world eater.
But the knowledge of why they want to destroy it might. It could influence you subtly. It is an interesting question.
Miraak is Alduin and we are Akatosh. One forsook their role for pride and power and the other fulfils theirs.
From that theory means we are there since the start of time
Yeah but alduin didnt. He is ending the world. His domination will lead to its eventual destruction thus fulfilling his role.
Interesting
wanderingbufoon but he didn’t just do that he enslaved humankind for pride and power
@@hammerite6418 The Time God wanted to enslave Humanity so the Last Dragonborn defeated him so he can beat the Time God making him one of the heroes to defeat a God like the other is the Hero of Kvatch as he defeated Jyggalag and the Nerevarine as he defeated Hircine.
Tbh i dont care as long as the dovahkiin gets their own book of legends for us to read in tes6
In Skyrim DLC, every time you've killed a dragon Miraak was the one to absurd it's soul. Maybe in Sovngarde there's another drargonborn (it's the place where all the people who died in a fight that they fought bravely). Maybe it even was Martin from Oblivion after he took over the shape of Akotash and died with it in honor.
My theory is that the Dragonborn was somehow always the mortal in possession of alduin soul alduin may not have saved the Dragonborn but was trying to reclaim his soul which would give him power to eat the world like think about it a few rocks from the sky, tiny ones aren’t gonnahelp him EAT the world but something like the full power of his soul would the reason alduin didn’t have a soul that the Dragonborn could absorb is because the Dragonborn already had it
His soul went directly into my ESO Dragon Knight.
I made it happen baby! lol
Alduin isn't really dead. The Dragonborn just postponed the end of the world.
This is because Alduin in the current Elder Scrolls Timeline, has the role of World Eater. Meaning he is the end of time. It is inevitable that he will end the world and a new timeline will begin afterwards this time with a new set of God's. (Technically the same God's but personalities and traits can be switched around)
He killed as possible he soul absorbed by Akatosh and become part of him Only Akatosh know what he will do with that may He might send him back may not
9:29 im sorry but i started laughing when i saw the club penguin throne lmao
Well would you look at that! I’m early :)
Got it, dark soul plot.. Or is dark soul copying skyrim?
Either way, you play as a soul collector trying to make a fragmented thing whole again.
I wouldn't really say either copies the other but ES has had these themes for a long time before Souls came along.
@@MrSpartanspud oh i just meant specifically having to succ the bosses' souls. The entire dragon lore it seems ties in to dark souls premise (or vice versa) in which the defeated will have their soul, and the souls that were absorbed, be absorbed.
In that case I don't know if it is specifically mentioned that the souls get consumed but they do talk about taking power from other beings you have defeated.
One of the "Nine" Devines ... YEAH, the Thalmor can go pound sand
I honestly thought that since we were in Sovngarde and it was Lorkhan's realm that the center light thing in the sky was Lorkhan's essence. After getting killed and all that I assumed he couldn't even take a personal form even in his own realm so he was just that light thing. I thought that since this was his realm where he "owned" the souls of the dead that he absorbed Alduin and this could give him enough power to manifest himself in the future. Maybe setting up the stage for TES 6 where he would be "reborn" and go to war with the aedra who killed him or maybe the daedra. Since he is the pro-human god and the Thalmor are growing he could play a role there. Especially since it looks like 6 will be in High Rock and Hammerfell where the Redgard are fighting a good fight. Not to mention that in this scenario the orcs could ally with the Thalmor since they are mer and worship daedra who Lorkhan would be against. This would put Lorkhan and the Redgard together against the Thalmor and Orcs with maybe a possibility of dividing the orcs and bringing some to the Lorkhan side.
Another example of mantling hails from my favorite of the daedra.. Sheogorath.
It was sent back in time by Akatosh to fix his stupidity where he's put into the body of a mortal to learn him some lessons.
The Dragonborn didn't slurp up Alduin's soul because Alduin is the last Dragonborn.
😭😭😭oh god
Beautiful theory
So he killed himself
@@Jamarvious_ No, he just spanked himself.
Your Wayward Destiny so he was his own mom
Akatosh was like nah my son I can't let u get ur brothers souls, you'd be demigod status u gotta earn that
No, Akatosh and Alduin are the same deity as Auri-El, they're all the Time God.
I always kind of assumed akatosh never sent him and that was just people trying to come up with an explanation
I think the dragonborn is a bastard of Mankar Cameron
My favorite apocalypse is Lovecraft's, (and, incidentally, Elder Scrolls',) in which the entire universe is a dream, and when the being that is dreaming us wakes up, poof.
Thomas the train apocalypse
Greetings. I first checked out your channel yesterday (well, technically the day before yesterday now, as it's 1:08 am here), with your Psychology of Azula video on Avatar: The Last Airbender. And might I just say, I fell in love with your channel and videos. Watched quite a few of your Avatar/Legend of Korra videos all that night, and just began watching your Elder Scrolls videos not that long ago earlier. You have a new sub, and I look forward to all future videos you upload.
If you look on the bottom left corner of your screen at 10:10 you’ll find a horse fighting walruses
Ragnarok is my favorite apocalypse story
Miraak obvious took his soul
I'm just now of hearing of this god Aka is this canon?
Alduin's soul was most likely absorbed by either Shor or Akatosh due to him being in Aetherius, given that Shor is Lorkhan and Lorkhan was mantled by Talos, a Dragonborn (At least the Hjalti part of the manuy headed Talos).
oh MAN i didnt know you did elder scrolls lore/writing videos. i know this latest one is a year old but PLEASE MORE
I'm just commenting to make it an even 400. 😆
Hey, I have to ask, do you do Skyrim let's plays?
Thanks for the vid i really get into the elder scrolls lore and this explains alot to me and filled a few holes in the lore i did not understand so thnx again.
I personally favor the idea of another mortal taking up the mantle of Alduin, probably an elf of some description.
One word: black azura star
Theory what if alduin was being controlled by a daedric lord like they did to durnaviir but not directly like over the decades poisoned his soul with pure evil beings with daedra souls inside not intended for his body
There is nothing that supports this,
I always assumed he simply ascended to adreahood
Nice to see someone actually bring up the connections this game has to the poetic edda! props dude!
Question.
If Talos filled Lorkahns place, than wouldn’t worship of Lorkahn, if any fuel Talos’s power as a god??
Long story short: "Akatosh trembled at the dark, clinging to his his age of time, and in dire fear of hoomans, and the dark lord that will one day will raise among them, Akatosh resisted the course of nature, and soon, the darksign will be seen among men, and the undead curse will begin
:v
If there is one thing I realized playing Skyrim is that it had good ideas that were executed poorly. This is primarily do to cut and dry expectations by Zenemax (Owners of Bethesda), and it shows. However, this is truly the reason I keep coming back. Religious and philosophical questions the game plays on is one of it’s many highlights. I’ve come across situations were it’s literally a lose/lose situation. When The New Dawn Cultist tries to buy me out of killing him, and then promised the blade if I do, I had very different justifications then the narrow writing wrote. I thought that if anyone could protect a potentially lethal and cursed weapon, it would be the Dragonborn. Safe guarding the weapons from people who would use it to their amusement, that is why I killed him. Then the daedra just go,
” Yay your a slave now go do my bidding my champion!” The message the game portrays is that you can either ride out your destiny, or stray from the path and end up the same place anyway. You could just accept that the guy has the pieces now, sit by while a potential threat lurks to be unleashed. Or, you could take the daedric artifact for yourself, and risk being a threat that will eventually fall upon Tamerial. It’s truly a question that has been studied many times: Can fate truly be changed, even at the cost of their soul?
My favourite apocalypse story doesn't come from myth, but from a game. It's called Enderal and you may know it because it's essentially a full-conversion mod for Skyrim. The plot of Enderal *[MASSIVE SPOILERS ALERT]* revolves around the High Ones (Die Hohen); godlike beings that periodically end all life on the planet in an event known as "The Cleansing" (Die Leuterung). They then feast on the rotten essence of humanity and create a new one of their own. The twist is, they High Ones can't actually exert any control over the material world and they can't cause the cleansing, so what they do is threaten to cause the cleansing to unwitting mortals, then coax them in building a device that will supposedly destroy the High Ones, but in fact will cause The Cleansing and destroy all mortal life...
Do you think it is possible for Tosh Raka, the leader of the Ka Po' Tun, to mantle Alduin?
It is also mentioned in a book in Skyrim how he might invade Tamriel, making it a plot for a future Elder Scrolls title.
And Akatosh is a false god. Praise Talos!

I don't really understand Elder Scrolls lore, I just don't want to die.
One thing many misunderstand about both Norse mythology and possibly the kalpas of Elder Scrolls is that the world isn't necessarily cyclical in these kind of word views. Ragnarok is never portrayed as a cycle in the sources, Ragnarok roughly translates to "Twilight of the Gods", which says nothing of the beginning of a new world in the image of the old. It is said that humans, as well as the children of Thor will survive Ragnarok and begin the new world, and it says nothing of another Ragnarok to come. This new kalpa may be something entirely alien to those of Elder Scroll lore. Who knows what the next kalpa will bring? The end of the kalpa might also bring an end to existence itself, to suddenly stop the dream of the Godhead could have disastrous consequences for those beings thay dwell within the universe of Elder Scrolls.
This is childhood nostalgia talking, but I enjoyed the final book of the Chronicles of Narnia. For the life of me, I cannot remember what it is called...mostly because the last time I read the series I was 10...and I am 33. It's been a while. However, I still remember the main points of the plot and how it all ended. Narnia is destroyed utterly, but a few survive thanks to Aslan transporting them to his domain. Well, sort of survive. Because of all the Christian analogies Lewis pulled throughout the series it is implied that the survivors are actually dead and end up in heaven. The Chronicles of Narnia were weird like that.
Several Elder Scrolls games and dlcs have to do with mantling, the HoC mantling sheogorath, the neravarine mantling nerevar himself as a saint and mannimarco mantling an absent god to become one... Oh and wulf becoming talos or whatever... Wouldn't it be logical to think that maybe the DB could become the next worldeater, but this time eating the next world to prevent this kulpa from ending to make way for it? Akatosh could also have taken Alduin's soul to prevent DB from mantling Alduin in the first place, but with how many other shards the DB can get into them it may be an inevitability that the last dragonborn will become the new worldeater... Especially if they're a vampire lord and take miraak's place of conquest.
I like to think that this is just them withholding Alduin from completing his tasks, thwarted but not eliminated.
My Headcanon (so don't take seriously): He reincarnated as one of my Dragonborn's sons, as his son Ulfric (named after Ulfric Stormcloak, ironic since I joined the legion) was born the day after Alduin was defeated.
my favorite is ragnorok too. ive always liked norse mythology for the utter absurdity and the violent clashing in uniqe ways
Need the question be asked? It obviously was drawn back to the Oversoul of Akatosh since he had a lot of yelling in store for his son. Also between the player and Akatosh he’s the strongest dov. (Since he’s a God and literally made them)
I say Shor captured Alduin's soul. Alduin was beaten in his realm. Shor/Lorkhan is the god of change. He is the one that wants to break the cycle and be fully reborn.
What I like about ES lore is how vague it is. All the double meanings and possible interpretations and contradictions. We don't understand our own universe. We don't know everything about it and what has happened in the past. And the same is true of ES. The beings that live there merely provide theories, ideas, their own interpretations of events. Very rarely does anyone genuinely know what the truth of the matter is.
Thank you I love skyrim and I've been wanting to know what happened to alduin
