Q & A

  • What is the significance of dragons in 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'?

    -Dragons are a central part of Skyrim's narrative, serving as powerful, mysterious, and ancient creatures that have re-emerged during the civil war with plans of conquest. Only the Dragonborn, a mortal with a soul akin to a dragon's, can stop them.

  • Why are dragons thought to have been extinct before the events of Skyrim?

    -Dragons were believed to have been extinct for thousands of years, having ruled over the Nords of Skyrim in the past. Their re-emergence during the civil war is unexpected and part of the game's plot.

  • What is the connection between dragons and the god Akatosh?

    -Dragons are generally accepted to be a creation of Akatosh, the god of time. This connection allows them to experience time differently, making it difficult to pinpoint their exact moment of creation.

  • How did the Nords' migration from Atmora to Tamriel involve dragons?

    -The Nords, who began on the ancient continent of Atmora, were already worshipping dragons before they migrated to Tamriel. It's suggested that they brought their reverence for dragons with them during the migration.

  • What is the mysterious connection between dragons and the continent of Akavir?

    -The connection is suggested through the book 'Mysterious Akavir,' which implies that Akavir, a mythical land, might be ruled by a dragon similar to Akatosh and has plans to invade Tamriel.

  • What is the quest involving Jurgen Windcaller and the Horn of Jurgen's Tomb?

  • What is the suggested material and origin of the Horn of Jurgen?

    -The horn is suggested to be made from a part of the dragon Paarthurnax's horn, given its visual consistency and the fact that Paarthurnax is missing a part of his right horn.

  • Do female dragons exist in the Elder Scrolls universe?

    -Yes, according to Michael Kirkbride's writings and the French translation of 'A Child's Tamriel Beastiary,' there are female dragons called Jills, which are less aggressive and involved in repairing the timeline.

  • Why is it strange to find dragon scales at the Akatosh shrine in Skyrim?

    -It's strange because by the time of Skyrim's events, dragons were considered mythical, and dragon scales would be highly valuable. Their presence at the shrine suggests they were placed there before the dragons' reappearance.

  • What is the speculation about Ysgramor's association with dragons?

    -There is speculation that Ysgramor might have been a dragon priest or associated with dragons due to his ability to conquer Skyrim with a small army, the presence of dragon insignias in his tomb, and the brutality of his campaign.

  • What is the significance of the dragon puzzle door in Ysgramor's son's tomb?

    -The dragon puzzle door suggests that Ysgramor or his lineage had knowledge of dragons and possibly their magic, indicating a deeper connection between them and the dragons.

Hey how's it going guys it's Nate Hira

play00:02

and the Dragons are quite possibly

play00:04

Skyrim's most iconic type of creature

play00:07

wicked beasts that dominate the skies

play00:09

and served as one of the Elder Scrolls

play00:11

5s biggest selling points

play00:13

seriously the marketing for these things

play00:15

was crazy the Dhobis of Tamriel are

play00:18

powerful mysterious and ancient

play00:20

creatures thought to have been extinct

play00:22

for the past few thousand years they

play00:24

since re-emerged seemingly out of

play00:26

nowhere during the height of skyrim

play00:28

civil war with dark plans of conquest

play00:31

now only you the Dragonborn a mortal who

play00:35

shares their type of soul has the power

play00:37

to put an end to this terrifying scheme

play00:40

there's also admittedly an ice dragon or

play00:43

two but more on that later regardless of

play00:45

the morality despite the incredible

play00:47

significance these flying lizards have

play00:49

on the game's narrative there's still

play00:51

quite a bit about them that Skyrim

play00:53

purposely leaves Vega and there's a few

play00:56

strange things going on that even

play00:58

veteran players may not know so today

play01:02

we'll be taking a look at five things

play01:03

you probably didn't know about the

play01:06

dragons of the elderscrolls v skyrim

play01:11

starting off let's begin today by

play01:13

exploring a topic literally no one has

play01:16

an answer to ax where did dragons come

play01:19

from exactly tez fob tells us that for

play01:22

much of the maratha and first era they

play01:25

ruled over the Nords of skyrim until

play01:27

basically being wiped down and uprising

play01:29

but where were they before then well

play01:33

it's generally accepted that the dopest

play01:35

are a creation of akatosh adrià god of

play01:38

time and as a result experience and

play01:41

travel through time quite a bit

play01:43

different than most mortals do which

play01:46

makes pinpointing and exact a moment for

play01:48

their creation very tough in a 2018

play01:51

interview some of the riders for the

play01:53

Elder Scrolls online stated quote

play01:56

dragons existed even before the

play01:59

inception of sequential time in the dawn

play02:01

era the dawn eras basically Tess's

play02:03

version of prehistory the concept of

play02:06

origination is hard to apply to the

play02:08

species end quote

play02:09

okay so we can't decide what

play02:12

exactly dragons came about but we do

play02:15

know they were around quite a bit before

play02:17

human settlement of Skyrim you see the

play02:20

Nordic race began not on Tamriel WA but

play02:24

instead on the ancient now lost an

play02:27

unmapped frozen continent of atmora

play02:30

that said to exist somewhere north of

play02:33

Tamriel WA though evidently it

play02:35

experienced some type of great freezing

play02:37

and is now uninhabitable and nearly

play02:39

impossible to find well various texts

play02:43

and books tell us that back when the

play02:44

Nords were still on at mora and when it

play02:47

was still inhabitable way back thousands

play02:49

of years ago in the early Maratha era

play02:51

many of these Nords were already

play02:54

worshipping dragons among a few other

play02:56

animal Pantheon's and when the people

play02:59

sailed to skyrim they seemed to have

play03:01

taken the lizard's with them the warp is

play03:04

actually fairly clear that at more Nords

play03:07

had contact with dragons it fails to

play03:10

make obvious exactly what that

play03:12

relationship looked like were they

play03:15

already being ruled over by the Dragons

play03:17

before they came to Tamriel or were the

play03:19

Dragons just off doing their own thing

play03:21

and did it become oppressive overlords

play03:23

until later on we just don't really know

play03:26

but we'll talk a little bit more about

play03:28

at Morand over relations in a while so

play03:31

basically we don't know when dragons

play03:33

started but apparently they were rounded

play03:35

at Mora and came to Tamriel with Nords

play03:37

when they migrated okay that's a fair

play03:40

enough history assessment but here's

play03:43

where things get a bit weird they may

play03:45

have a connection to the also mysterious

play03:48

continent of a kuvira and that

play03:51

connection gets a little chilling when

play03:53

you examine it akavir of course is a

play03:56

massive continent said to exist to

play03:59

Tamriel's east that we know very little

play04:01

about already it too has never been

play04:04

successfully mapped and all records of

play04:06

it come from travels from thousands of

play04:09

years ago and other flimsy sources but

play04:12

it seems to be about the size of Tamriel

play04:14

and home to all sorts of mythical beings

play04:17

well the Elder Scrolls 3 morrowind

play04:20

featured an anonymously authored book

play04:22

called mysterious akka vera

play04:25

which provided a very brief summary of

play04:28

what the place might be like I say a

play04:31

mite because this book does appear to be

play04:34

very old and it's anonymously published

play04:36

and the author's writing style is quite

play04:39

vague and ominous so take it with a

play04:41

grain of salt regardless

play04:44

according to mysterious a Kabira a

play04:46

Kabir's name really translates to dragon

play04:50

land akka being old Murray for Dragon

play04:53

and veer meaning land the writing goes

play04:56

on to describe a number of the

play04:58

civilizations that are said to exist in

play05:00

this place and when talking about a

play05:02

civilization of tiger folk that

play05:04

apparently inhabit the east of the

play05:06

continent called the Kappa WA the book

play05:09

suggests that these cat people are ruled

play05:12

by a giant dragon named Tosh raka which

play05:17

sounds a lot like akatosh and the

play05:22

description of this giant dragon

play05:23

provided also matches how akatosh

play05:26

chooses to manifest physically most of

play05:29

the time things get spooky when after

play05:31

describing Tosh Rocca the book ends by

play05:34

featuring a supposed quote that this god

play05:36

dragon said quote first tosh raka says

play05:40

is that we kill all the vampire snakes

play05:43

then the tiger dragon emperor wants to

play05:47

invade Tamriel WA end quote

play05:50

this is literally the final sentence in

play05:53

mysterious a kuvira it's a cliffhanger

play05:55

no further elaboration or context is

play05:58

offered which is really odd right

play06:01

because the book seems to indicate

play06:04

akatosh is planning to invade Tamriel

play06:07

from a kuvira something that doesn't

play06:10

make a lot of sense considering akatosh

play06:12

is a god

play06:14

so surely something's a bit jumbled and

play06:16

this isn't a perfect description of

play06:18

events but whatever's the case I think

play06:22

it's safe to say that something weird is

play06:24

definitely going on in Aqaba era next on

play06:28

our list let's cut the history and talk

play06:31

more about Skyrim in the present shortly

play06:33

after the player discovers that they're

play06:35

a Dragonborn the ancient order of voice

play06:37

masters known as

play06:39

Greybeards ax will summon us to their

play06:40

mountain fortress of high Hrothgar

play06:42

promising to teach us what they know and

play06:44

assist with halting the recent return of

play06:47

the Dragons however before they fully

play06:50

commit to helping us they'll first the

play06:52

man the dovakin complete a specific test

play06:54

they want us to journey to the tomb of

play06:57

the Greybeards founder a man named

play06:59

Jurgen wind collar and locate a horn

play07:02

that he was allegedly buried with this

play07:05

is the basis for the quest the Horn of

play07:08

uragan wind collar long story short we

play07:10

eventually do locate the horn spoiler

play07:13

alert it's not actually in the tomb and

play07:15

return it to the beards to complete the

play07:16

quest and secure their allegiance now

play07:19

the material and origins of the horn nor

play07:22

its exact capabilities are ever

play07:24

explained to us however a context clues

play07:27

suggest it's actually made from a

play07:30

hollowed-out piece of the dragon

play07:32

Paarthurnax --is owned a horn

play07:34

indeed it's visually consistent with

play07:37

what we know dragon horns look like and

play07:39

if we examine the head of Paarthurnax

play07:42

you'll notice he's missing a part of his

play07:45

right horn heck the colors even match

play07:48

given the fact that Paarthurnax is loyal

play07:51

to the Greybeards and was a known

play07:53

companion of Jurgen wind colors back in

play07:55

the day when the graveyards were created

play07:57

it does really make sense how the man

play07:59

could have ended up with this item

play08:01

maybe Paarthurnax volunteered part of

play08:04

his horn and gave it to what we don't

play08:06

know why but it seems rather obvious the

play08:08

connection is here it's never explicitly

play08:11

confirmed by Bethesda but it seems very

play08:14

probable and I think the fact that they

play08:16

don't point it out to our face makes the

play08:18

detail even a bit better coming in at

play08:22

number 3 female dragons are a thing

play08:26

apparently maybe okay so for the most

play08:30

part the genders of dragons in Skyrim

play08:32

have largely remained just as ambiguous

play08:34

as their exact origins given the fact it

play08:38

seems they're all directly created by

play08:40

akatosh himself and totally incapable of

play08:43

reproduction then genders biologically

play08:47

speaking would be kind of pointless

play08:49

right nonetheless all the

play08:52

Tobi's we encounter have rather deep

play08:54

voices and often refer to themselves as

play08:56

hiza so they've at least always been

play09:00

presented to be more masculine enter a

play09:03

Michael Kurt bride a former Bethesda

play09:05

Game Studios writer who contributed

play09:07

extensively to the elder scrolls as

play09:09

Laura and left the studio following the

play09:12

release of morrowind

play09:13

yet still continued to write Elder

play09:16

Scrolls lore and stories anyway in the

play09:18

form of various in universe books and

play09:20

scripts pretty much any of his work

play09:23

following his departure from the studio

play09:25

can and should be technically considered

play09:27

fan fiction and not true canon but

play09:31

either way this fan fiction being

play09:34

written by a guy who's so deep on the

play09:36

inside and genuinely contributed to the

play09:39

actual lore should be taken a little bit

play09:41

more seriously and indeed much of what

play09:44

Kurt Brides written about has ended up

play09:46

becoming true in later games regardless

play09:49

in his texts he mentions a type of

play09:52

creature called Jill's that are female

play09:55

dragons he doesn't mention them very

play09:58

often

play09:58

they've only appeared in a couple of

play10:00

posts in 2010 though Joel's are regarded

play10:02

as being much less aggressive than their

play10:04

male counterparts and primarily spend

play10:06

their time repairing breaks in the elder

play10:09

scrolls as timeline they are children of

play10:12

akatosh after all the god of time

play10:14

furthermore there's a book that appeared

play10:16

in the elder scrolls online called a

play10:19

child's Tamriel beastie area which lists

play10:22

many of the creatures that inhabit

play10:23

Tamriel in alphabetical order and

play10:25

provides a brief description appropriate

play10:28

for a kid so just to prove a point

play10:29

here's how it starts

play10:31

quote a is for elite a two-legged lizard

play10:34

with enough under bite to swallow a

play10:36

wizard B is for bankin a mean Daedric

play10:39

minion whose masters are found on the

play10:41

plains of oblivion c is for charas a big

play10:44

bug of the snug you get the idea well as

play10:47

you might imagine providing translations

play10:49

of this book that accurately maintained

play10:51

the proper creature names in foreign

play10:53

languages proved tricky for the writers

play10:56

and translations of the book are riddled

play10:59

with all sorts of odd alterations and

play11:01

mistakes though in the french

play11:04

translation

play11:05

for the letter J jill's are mentioned

play11:08

saying in English quote J's for Jill's

play11:12

mythical beings they fix the world when

play11:15

the dragon breaks end quote

play11:18

so not only are Jill's mentioned in Curt

play11:20

bride's musings but they do even come up

play11:23

in official Elder Scrolls games at least

play11:26

in the French version if only for a bit

play11:28

so I suppose dragons really do have

play11:31

genders probably maybe for fourth spot

play11:36

nearby the small hamlet of Rorick stead

play11:39

players can find a shrine of akatosh

play11:41

atop a large hill and presented on that

play11:44

shrine as an offering of sorts are some

play11:47

dragon scales now seen this for the

play11:51

first time you may not think anything of

play11:53

it dragons are the children of akatosh

play11:55

it's reasonable that someone would leave

play11:57

dragon scales at one of his shrines I

play11:59

mean heck maybe it was a dragon who came

play12:02

to the shrine and peeled off one of his

play12:04

scales as a gift of sorts but here's the

play12:07

problem by the time the events of Skyrim

play12:09

take place it's been so long in

play12:12

Tamriel's recorded history since a

play12:14

dragon was nearly excited that most

play12:17

people don't even believe the creatures

play12:18

were real in the first place assuming

play12:20

them to be make-believe in fantasy so if

play12:23

someone did have access to dragon scales

play12:26

definitive proof that Dragons existed

play12:28

surely they wouldn't want to waste them

play12:31

by putting them here at a random trying

play12:33

to akatosh they want to keep them as a

play12:35

collectible or sell them for a huge

play12:37

price seeing that these are here since

play12:39

the start of the game implies that they

play12:41

were already placed before the

play12:42

reappearance of Alda Wynn so maybe

play12:45

Paarthurnax could be responsible we know

play12:48

he's been in Skyrim for the last few

play12:50

thousand years living under the

play12:51

protection of the Greybeards but even

play12:54

then it doesn't make sense that he'd

play12:56

risk himself to so much exposure by

play12:58

flying to this wide-open shrine and

play13:00

leaving an offering so what happened

play13:03

here remains a really big mystery and

play13:06

honestly I can't even think of any

play13:08

probable theories that stand and hold up

play13:11

to reason seeing as this is the only way

play13:14

in the entire game we can acquire dragon

play13:16

scales without

play13:17

putting them off of a dragon's body i

play13:19

assumed bethesda put them here on

play13:22

purpose but maybe it was a developer

play13:24

mistake oh well i guess only todd howard

play13:27

knows and todd howard won't tell and

play13:31

finally last on our list i want to end

play13:34

today's video by discussing yeasts

play13:36

Cremora a man revered by all Nords a--

play13:39

and one of Skyrim's most notable

play13:41

historical figures who was basically the

play13:44

lands founding father and i want to

play13:46

specifically talk about why I and many

play13:49

others believe he might have been a

play13:51

dragon priest or Dragonborn or

play13:55

associated with dragons in some way let

play13:58

me explain

play13:59

yeast grimore was a man who lived way

play14:01

back in the late Maratha era during that

play14:04

period in time in which atmora Nords

play14:06

were sailing south and migrating to

play14:08

skyrim well as the Nords were arriving

play14:11

they found that skyrim was already

play14:14

occupied by large advanced civilization

play14:17

of elves called the foamer or snow elves

play14:20

who already had cities towns and armies

play14:23

of their own at first everything

play14:26

suggests humans and elves had a great

play14:28

relationship the Elvis appeared to have

play14:30

allowed the human beings to build

play14:32

colonies and outposts in their land and

play14:35

there was a lot of positive trade the

play14:38

biggest human colony that would be

play14:39

established was a place called SAR Thal

play14:42

that yeast grimore was the ruler of were

play14:45

not quite sure how yeast grimore styled

play14:48

himself whether he called himself the

play14:50

king of Sarthe all or the governor of

play14:52

Sarthe all but it's obvious he was in

play14:54

charge anyway despite these seemingly

play14:57

peaceful relations one night for a still

play15:01

unknown reason a large snow Elvin army

play15:03

launched a surprise attack on Sarthe all

play15:06

they easily overpowered the obviously

play15:09

unprepared defenders and killed almost

play15:12

every single inhabitant yeast gomorrah

play15:15

and possibly a few of his sons are the

play15:17

only people known to have escaped the

play15:19

slaughter

play15:20

after this horrifying atrocity ye scream

play15:23

or sailed back to amaura and vowed

play15:25

vengeance once he arrived on his

play15:27

homeland continent he gathered 500 of

play15:30

the greatest

play15:30

warriors he could find then took that

play15:33

army and sailed back to Skyrim vowing to

play15:36

wipe the snow elven race out entirely

play15:38

and believe it or not despite having

play15:42

just 500 men that's almost exactly what

play15:45

he did

play15:46

somehow they totally defeated every

play15:49

single snow Elvin army and then started

play15:51

killing not only the soldiers but the

play15:54

women and children and the elderly

play15:56

innocent non-combatants every elf had to

play16:00

die they reasoned we know a small

play16:03

percentage of the elven population was

play16:05

able to survive after accepting shelter

play16:07

from the dwarves who did their own nasty

play16:10

things but sure enough for the most part

play16:12

the elva's were driven to extinction

play16:14

soon after that Skyrim was declared a

play16:17

land for the Nords and humans and each

play16:20

grimore would die peacefully a few years

play16:22

later thus that's how this man became

play16:25

one of the world's most iconic figures

play16:28

okay Nate so an interesting story but

play16:31

where does it connect with dragons all I

play16:34

heard about was Nords killing things

play16:36

well the first thing to consider is that

play16:39

while he scream or did for the most part

play16:41

take over northern Tamriel he never

play16:45

crowned himself King or turned Skyrim

play16:47

into a kingdom in fact it's after he

play16:51

scores death that we start to see

play16:53

references to the Dragon cult pop up it

play16:55

seems that after he died what was next

play16:58

for Skyrim was ruled by the Dragons

play17:01

frustratingly it's not clear how the

play17:03

Dragons took over if there was this

play17:06

single moment when the dragon said were

play17:08

in charge now or something

play17:09

but remember earlier in this video we

play17:12

mentioned that the Atman Nords already

play17:15

did have some contact with the Domas and

play17:18

it's possible that during the time of

play17:20

yeast grimore the Dragons were already

play17:22

in charge to begin with he was simply

play17:25

one of their dragon priests a human

play17:28

being that ruled in their name this

play17:30

would explain why he never crowned

play17:32

himself King why were unsure what his

play17:34

title and Sarthe all was and it would

play17:36

even explain why he was able to take

play17:38

over Skyrim with only 500 troops if

play17:41

dragons were assisting in this whole

play17:44

campaign it makes a lot more sense how

play17:46

500 boys could devastate an entire

play17:48

society furthermore in Easter Moore's

play17:51

own tomb we find on many of the doors

play17:53

a dragon insignia now these

play17:56

weird-looking dragon doors are used on a

play17:59

lot of tombs and ancient ruins in Skyrim

play18:02

so it's not confirmation enough but it's

play18:04

important to note furthermore we can

play18:07

also visit the tomb of one of these core

play18:09

Moors sons in Skyrim

play18:10

Ingle and in that tomb there's a dragon

play18:13

puzzle door we have to open basically

play18:16

one of those doors where we have to get

play18:17

one of the dragon claws and use it as

play18:19

its you know what I mean

play18:20

that indicates almost for sure unless

play18:23

it's a developer oversight that during

play18:25

Easter mores time he had knowledge of

play18:28

the Dragons at minimum then there's a

play18:31

tablet we can find in an old Dwemer ruin

play18:33

that was written by the dwarves at the

play18:35

time of the Nordic invasion and the

play18:37

dwarves described the app morons as the

play18:39

quote-unquote snow throated kings of

play18:42

mora indicate that these invaders were

play18:45

using dragon shouts could ye scream

play18:49

orphan dragon shouting at the elves heck

play18:51

maybe he's not a dragon priest maybe he

play18:54

was a dragon born or maybe those snow

play18:57

throated Kings are a reference to actual

play19:00

dragons finally and I promise I'll stop

play19:03

now

play19:03

dragon influence could also explain the

play19:05

brutality demonstrated by ysgramor

play19:08

army remember they were killing

play19:10

innocents women children people who

play19:12

didn't need to die like I get it the

play19:15

elves betrayed you but you know

play19:17

murdering a six-year-old boy that had no

play19:19

knowledge of the plot doesn't help it

play19:21

just seems like an act of evil if you

play19:24

scream or was loyal to the DOE va's and

play19:26

acting on their will or shared the

play19:28

Dragonborn himself then that makes more

play19:31

sense maybe just maybe even well before

play19:35

humankind set foot on Skyrim they were

play19:38

already being ruled by the Dragons or

play19:41

maybe ysgramor is just a bit of a very

play19:44

smart maniac whatever the truth is we'll

play19:48

probably never know for sure but it's

play19:50

always fun to speculate and with that we

play19:53

are going to wrap up five things you

play19:55

Bravo

play19:56

play20:00
