in a time lost a legend the Durov
arsenic dragon priests ruled over the
people of Skyrim their power was second
only to the Dragons above and Alduin the
world eater these anointed priests led
the dragon cult of the Maratha Cara
bestowed with the mighty gifts of
dragons their boon came in the form of
knowledge power and of course the iconic
dragon priests masks they were once
kings amongst men but now the few
remaining priests survived his decaying
draaga most loyally awaiting the return
of Alduin their master what's up ladies
gentlemen welcome back to fudge Muppet
my name's Scott and today we're going to
be diving deep into the world of the
dragon priests you may know these
ancient priests as skeletal draaga
haunting the depths of Skyrim's belly
but there's a lot more to them than
meets the eye
before the millennia long tenure in the
dark dusty terms of old they led lives
of royalty afforded to them by their
dragon overlords when dragons ruled the
skies in the maratha kara labyrinthian
then known as the ancient capital Broman
jar was the major seat of power for the
dragon cult as the Dragons of the
Maratha Cairo were more interested in
conquest of the land rather than the
mundane duties of governance the dragon
priests were installed to ensure order
and worship amongst the populace devoted
to their masters these beings oversaw
the populace with harsh control
effectively subjugating the people of
Skyrim in this time a great many
monuments to both dragons and their
priests were constructed across Skyrim
and solstein they were built to honor
those in power or to house them in their
followers in death many of the cultists
lived alongside the priests in these
ruins decaying to become horrific draaga
but before becoming the decrepit homes
of the undead they once stood grande at
the time of the dragon war once the
dragon war began with the rebellion of
men the numbers of both the dragons and
their priests were drastically reduced
after Alduin was cast forward in time
ends the power of dragons waned the
priests clung to their remaining
followers they gathered the remains of
any dragons they could find for
centuries to come into mning them in
in males they believed that by
continuing the dragon cult and entombing
fallen dragons they would be rewarded as
faithful when Alduin returned eventually
the dragon cult was driven to near
extinction
one of the final monasteries of the cult
was besieged by high King Harald in the
first era with members taking their
lives when their defenses were breached
they infected the well they relied on
with poison taking down a large amount
of heralds force as a result their cult
was truly destroyed with the remaining
priests and their followers only
existing as undead draaga in remote
tombs and ruins the entombed priests
retains dregs of power and life through
an eternal ritual in order to be ready
for the call of Alduin the priests
sarcophagus was tended to daily by their
drug of followers buried alongside them
the ritual involves the draggers praying
around the sarcophagus for several hours
each day then returning to their burial
chambers this process offered the life
force of the lesser draaga to the
priests sustaining them into the fourth
era continuing their worship in death
it's no surprise why these followers
defend the tombs of their masters so
fiercely when invaded by wandering
bandits or the Dragonborn the dragon
priests are most notable for their
resurgence in the fourth era though some
have been awoken accidentally or through
the use of magic earlier when elder ones
voice rose the Dragons in a two hundred
first year of the fourth era it also
gave the slumbering priests a reason to
break free of their sarcophagi they
returned to Skyrim with renewed vigor
now decrepit and skeletal each wearing
robes and the iconic masks of your
bestowed upon them the masks worn by the
priests are almost all identical made
from a variety of materials such as
bronze/ebony
moonstone and wood the faces depicted
are otherworldly with no nose and
emboldened eyes those the different
style like miracle cone Oryx masks may
feature tusks or tentacles but follow
the same basic model we'll get into the
reasons for these changes when we tackle
the priests themselves a little later in
this video
dragon priest masks all have names
shared with the priest who wears them
it's uncertain if the masks were
named after the people or if the priests
themselves took on the name along with
the mosque given the names or of the
Dragon tongue it's likely that the
priests took on the name when accepting
their role in the dragon cult there may
be multiple people who wore the dragon
masks assuming the names of the masks
they donned let's dive into the first
two twelve priests who make an
appearance in Skyrim starting with the
tale of o-tar themand
once in ancient Nordic chieftain otah
ruled over the city of Ragman world it
said that he was a fair and just ruler
with a proficiency for battle poems tell
of how mysterious forces worked their
way into his mind driving him mad it's
likely that this was the work of the
dragon cult seeking to bring his people
under their control in his state he was
susceptible to the wishes of the dragon
priesthood becoming a priest himself and
subjecting his people to oppressive Rahl
seeking to end his treachery two heroes
named Torsten and Saric attempted to
slay him his newfound priest powers made
this impossible but they managed to lock
him away in a sarcophagus and seal it
with two keys while a lot of this story
comes from a book in Skyrim unobtainable
in game without console commands the
story makes sense when you consider the
in-game encounter his sarcophagus can
only be opened with keys from his two
Guardians Torsten and Saric looted off
their bodies the mask he wears is a
standard looking piece made of malachite
and granting the wearer increased
resistance to the elements the dragon
priests have nor AK could be theorized
as having something to do with o-tar's
madness as a priest he practiced
mind-control magic influencing the minds
of those who followed him they became
enthralled with his power
serving him in his own ambitious
pursuits his name is suitable when you
consider his deeds meaning brutality in
the Dragon tongue he subjected his
followers and enemies to a great manner
of evil and torture you can see this in
his fourth era tomb laden with sadistic
machines heavne rock was also
interesting for another reason his
obsession with his own death and
resurrection through meticulous planning
he drained the blood from himself
planning to transfer his own power back
into him
and become a lich after death his ritual
made sure that one day he'd return as a
powerful lich regardless of whether the
dragons returned but a Nord warrior
named Valda aimed to stop this he bound
himself to Hefner AK ensuring that even
in death his ghost would be able to stop
the priests return Hefner axe mask is
made of iron and offers immunity to
disease and poison quite the prized item
and fitting for a priest desiring
eternal life now Creon may have been one
of the highest-ranking priests in Skyrim
said to serve Alduin himself his name
means vengeance in the Dragon tongue and
he guards skull dolphin a ruin that
contains a portal to sovngarde now Crane
is one of the only two dragon priests in
Skyrim who don't rise from their
sarcophagi in this case it's likely
because he was awoken by Aldo and
specifically to guard the portal in the
temple his mask is made of Ebony used
alongside his staff to operate the
portal in the ruins he was likely
especially powerful with magic
considering that his mask gives the
wearer increased Magica and reduced cost
spells mora Chi is the other priest
who's found a way out of his sarcophagus
when you encounter him who also seems to
be a priest gifted in the matters of
arcane this is due to his role as an
antagonist of the College of Winterhold
operating in Skyrim long before the
return of the Dragons he was sealed away
with an eternal barrier in labyrinthian
by Tsavo Sauron when attempting to
recover the staff of Magnus his name
means glorious in the Dragon tongue and
his mask reflects this made of shining
moonstone his mask offers the wearer
enhanced magical regeneration earlier on
in the video we mentioned the last
monastery of the Dragon cult and it's
siege at the hands of King Harald
raggert was the priests that led this
sect of the cult in Forel host here he
waited after ordering his followers to
poison the well and drink from it
themselves in the Dragon tongue his name
means anger suitable for years alone
after his defeat in the fourth era his
mask is sought out as a powerful weapon
in Skyrim Civil War fortifying the
stamina of any wearer the mask is made
of orichalcum dropped after the priest
is finally put to rest
forever Vokoun is a dragon priest who
resides in highgate ruins he he's rested
since the maratha Cara bursting forth to
destroy any who enter his halls his name
means shadow in the Dragon tongue
matching his dark grey steel mask
donning this mask boosts the wearer's
ability to cast conjuration illusion and
alteration magic this should make sense
for any who have tried to slave his
powerful draaga as he summons powerful
Atronach
to assist him when attacked crosa is
buried at the top of shear point one of
the highest peaks in skyrim his tomb is
open to the elements residing near a
word wall and dragon lair funnily enough
his name means sorrow sorry or my
apologies in the Dragon tongue and is
often said in conversation with dragons
like Paarthurnax his mask is made of
bronze bestowing the wearer with skills
in lock-picking archery and alchemy
perhaps crosa was once a skilled hunter
who enjoyed the wilds of Skyrim but
eventually he became a dragon priest
maybe this is why he chose to be laid to
rest on a high mountain peak exposed to
the cool open air reminiscent of the old
days that he spent in the wild volsang
rounds out the known priests in the land
of Skyrim translating to air horror or
horrific air in the Dragon tongue he
resides at the summit of vole scourge
his mask is the most valuable in Skyrim
made from corundum interestingly his
mask enchantments are quite varied it
allows the wearer to breathe underwater
gives them extra carry weight and
cheaper prices and vendors we're not
sure how these three fit together from a
lore perspective but we do know it's
quite versatile there is one final mask
found in Skyrim the wooden mask this
item can be found in labyrinth ian
omitting an aura of mystery donning the
mask sees you transported through time
to the Broman Jos sanctuary a hidden
room in the ancient ruins as we
mentioned earlier Broman jar was the
historic seat of power in Skyrim during
the maratha Kara here the
highest-ranking priests would meet to
discuss laws and any disputes here stand
a series of pedestals with nine places
for the dragon priests masks to occupy
the mask of
rique is revealed only when eight masks
are placed on their stands little is
known about the priests who once wore
this mask but the name Kearn Erik
translates to warlord in the Dragon
tongue that with its unique appearance
and hidden nature lead us to believe
that the original owner must have had
one of the highest leadership positions
within the cult but that begs the
question why nine spaces on this display
perhaps at the time of the Dragons
Skyrim was divided into nine sections
each ruled by a priest
while there were lesser priests and
priests who have since traveled farther
than just Skyrim it's safe to assume
that the 9 masks that fit the pedestal
are the highest-ranking members of the
dragon cult it would also explain why
these draaga are as storied and powerful
utilizing the highest boons provided by
the Dragons on the island of souls time
however a darker tale is brewing the
five dragon priests found on this Isle
have an intertwined and legendary story
that dates all the way back to the
maratha Kara var Locke the jailer whose
name means Guardian in the Dragon tongue
was bestowed the region by the Dragons
in order to restore their influence
after mere acts betrayal of the cult
Volokh is said to be courageous and
strong remembered with a word wall in
his honor
noble Nord forever remembered mighty
VALIC whose great courage inspired both
men and dragon Volokh interestingly does
not wear a mask but does wear a small
crown as his legacy led to a prosperous
and peaceful soul time it's possible he
cast off the dragon mask after the fall
of the Dragons where other dragon
priests ruled in cruelty and horror he
came to be revered by the skull of the
Isle he was still tethered to the Isle
in order to watch for the return of me
rock forever which explains his drug or
appearance in the fourth era but the
lack of masks and difference in legacy
leads to a lot of interesting
speculations on his decisions
mirac also known as the traitor or the
first dragon born is responsible for the
situation on soulstone that we see in
the fourth era we won't dive too deep
into his story he bit as many of you
know this priests hunger for knowledge
and power led him to betray the dragons
and turn to a Daedric prince when he and
Volokh clashed
the battle was said to be long and
mighty even splitting the island Saul
Stein from Skyrim if you believe the
skull he was defeated but not slain
whisked away to Apocrypha at the last
moment Marik's time in Apocrypha and
hermaeus mora's influence is likely
responsible for the Lovecraftian warping
of the armor weapons and marks of Marik
and his followers seen most notably on
their masks tentacles like that of
hermaeus mora's seekers are present on
the faces we like to think that this
warping is a sign of new worship with
the Dragons power twisted into servitude
of the Daedric prince mere axe name
means allegiance guide in the dragon
tongue which could be prophetic of his
future swaying the allegiances of many
from their natural paths mere acts mask
staff and robes can be gathered up after
his death offering the new wearer
increased Magica for more on his
connection and MARAC story as a whole
check out the video linked in the
description before his defeat at the
hands of Valek Marik gathered three
dragon priests who came to serve him
abandoning the Dragons as a doll was the
most notable of these the first of the
great nord enchanters he was said to
have been the first man to master the
elven methods of enchanting quickly
becoming well-known in his home city of
Southall for his work in quite the
tragic tale he left his wife child and
everyone he knew to seek out elven
masters and develop his skills after
several years he returned to south or
finding the city burned to the ground by
the elves in vengeance he took the name
as a doll the embittered destroyer in
the Dragon tongue in his pursuit of
skill and vengeance he sought out any
knowledge he could learning the
enchanting abilities of the Dwemer and
the Ahlers having all this power he came
to ally with is grimore in his battle
against the elves he outfitted them with
enchanted weapons into armor giving them
an edge against their elven foe his
revenge was delivered with the Nords
victory but this wasn't it enough for
the man who was now consumed with his
desire for knowledge he sought out the
Dragons power and teachings which led
him to the priesthood however his time
with the Dragon cult would not last he
soon turned to mera console Stein and
joined his ranks with the hopes of
unlocking new
powers azor dolls mask is twisted like
mere acts and made of Ebony it improves
the damage of fire based destruction
magic from the user in cruel irony as
fire was what started him down this dark
path to begin with the crisis was also
seduced to the side of me rock in the
maratha cara his burial place and name
suggest he may have been a member of the
blood skull clan meaning sword blood or
bloody sword in the dragon tongue his
name applies to the weapon needed to
unlock his final resting place the blood
skull blade his evany mask empowers
users of shock magic and features the
same Lovecraftian motif of those allied
with mirik the last of Marik's acolytes
is duquan his name means dishonour
fitting for his rejection of the dragons
in favour of mere a console Stein
entombed in white Ridge sanctum his icy
demeanor matches the remoteness of his
resting place like the others who
betrayed the Dragons his mask is made
from ebony and twisted in the image of
the seekers of hermaeus mora it offers
frost resistance and spell damage to the
wear of fitting for is ice based attacks
that wraps up the priests we know about
existing in the fourth era but there are
still a few more interesting occurrences
of these ancient leaders earlier in
history Elder Scrolls online has also
come to feature several dragon priests
it's worth highlighting that due to the
setting of the second era these priests
were not awoken by Alduin instead these
priests have been risen by other means
holdren for example is a priest awoken
by a necromancer in life he served in
sky shroud Barrow buried alongside
devotees like the other priests though
necromancer took advantage of the haven
of undead turning them against their
original master holdren spirit seeks
someone to rid his tomb of the necrotic
influence and he's eventually given
peace with his Barrow returned to rest
to other dragon priests found in Skyrim
vocês and a crew doll
pop up throughout missions as enemy
bosses likely disturbed by the presence
of the living in their burial chambers
we know little about them aside from
their names however there are a few
particularly interesting priests that
pop up in the Elder Scrolls online
unique in location or story athos's for
example is found in High Rock after
being banished from sky
I am in the maratha Kara we don't know
why but it would appear that the dragon
he served and arthrosis as followers
were also banished leading to them
settling in Hrothgar in the second era
he was reawakened during an expedition
led by Nasser Stren who sought the
treasures of his tomb zom the scale
koala is the only known female dragon
priest and she is found in high rock she
became a priest at a young age selected
for rule by a dragon called
servo can when thorough Vokoun abandoned
his temple and followers she was blamed
eventually slain by her followers who
are unhappy with this instead of being
preserved like normal dragon priests in
the form of a draaga she was resurrected
as undead by a cult of perry aight they
sought to use her dragon given powers in
the pursuit of their dark schemes for
Tamriel much like mirek the last known
dragon priests to discuss was tempted by
a Daedric prince shire gorath lord of
madness visited core thor during the
maratha kara he entrusted the priests
with the fork of her epilation
a Daedric weapon that manipulates
natural Magica around it pledged to
guard the artifact in both life and
death he retains the most lively
appearance of any priests it's unclear
what he was offered by Sher gorath to
tempt him into eternal service we do
know however that his duty was as much
enslavement as a gift never leaving the
ruins of Alden grove ever again in the
end it's impressive to see how the long
influence of the dragon cult has
remained in Tamriel from the earliest
days of the Maratha Cairo when dragons
ruled the power of these beasts and
their cults echoes through time clinging
to life in the form of draaga and
revitalized by their followers the
dragon priests along with their masks
and weapons are reminders of the mighty
beings that they worship and that ladies
and gentlemen is to the dragon priests
ancient zealous kings who ruled for the
Dragons during the Maratha Kara now
retaining the last of their life force
as powerful draaga thanks so much for
