I don't think the fact that the "Song of the Return" books were ritten just after the Companions win over the Elves make it any worse: as a winner in a war, you want indeed to make you look good, but do you think that peoples in Atmora would be like :"yeah, it's cool that you put a slap on the wrist to thoose who massacred our kind"? No! they would be like :"What, you burnt the men alive and flayed their wives in front of each others? Seriously, that's all you found?!? YOU AT LEAST RAPED THE CHILDRENS, RIGHT?!?" like atmoran would rather ear the snow elves got what they deserve plus a *little* extra piss on the wounds, i think, and the author of the books would have wanted to satisfy his readers. Sorry for the spelling/grammatical mistakes, English isn't my primary language.

TheEpicNate315 Enjoyed your video as always but about the pale lady part I don’t dive into the lore some much but if you travel around in those falmer infested dungeons there’s female falmer mages that never did transcend into the wisp mother. What if those wisp mothers weren’t elves but some guardians that protected the falmer still to this day the elder scrolls and I think the book mentioned that the companions trapped the pale lady instead of slain during her. I don’t know if you want to you could explore it and maybe save it for another video. Anyway keep making those videos later

As little as we know about the Falmer, we do know they had an affinity for Frost Magic we also know a lot of their women were priestesses, mages, and warriors just as is with every race so it could further support the idea that Wispmothers are simply the angry spirits of Falmer Women who suffered tragic and violent deaths.

Keep in mind that in the elderscrolls universe, any elven race that had grown great and powerful (high elves, dark elves, dwemmer) typically were/are shitty people, not saying that they deserve genocide but you dont make friends by being awful people.

Well to be fair, the Atmorans just showed up in the middle of a land that had already been inhabited for who knows how long, and decided, yup this part is ours now losers Big city is going right here. So the Elves were probably already concerned since these guys just showed up and started claiming their ( Snow Elves) land. Next thing they know the people who basically just annexed part of their country found an ancient, mystical artifact of limitless power. Its reasonably understandable that the Snow Elves were worried the Atmorans wouldn't be content with just claiming land for one city. ( And judging by Ysmagor's actions following the return and how convenient it is that he just "happened to build a city above a site of great power" the Snow Elves fears were justified. ) On top of all that even once they had conquered the entire land of Skyrim, the Atmorans completely depopulated the Snow Elves, not even keeping them as slaves like the Aylieds did to ancient Neads. It seems rather likely, at least based on circumstantial evidence that the Atmorans had intended to commit genocide and claim the territory for themselves from the get-go.

I'd say Ysgramor's genocide against the Snow Elves was understandable (not necessarily justified) in light of the Snow Elves' unprovoked destruction of Saarthal. It may or may not have been excessive since we have no way of knowing the Snow Elves' motivations or whether they meant to stop after Saarthal or persue their own genocidal campaign against the rest of the Atmoran settlers. It seems clear that Ysgramor thought it likely that the elves were set on the latter course, in which case it would have been a war for the survival of his people.

My cousin's out there fighting Corona virus, and what do I get? Watching Nate's videos.

This my favorite "5 Things..." video. Hands down. Great job Nate!

"He's simply a bad guy, that won." Thats one of the best things about the elder scrolls. There is no bad guy or good guy in war. War is War. The Snow elves Genocided the Atmorans. They came back and did it even harder. Neither Side is good. Neither Side is bad. Its all just War.

The 500 companions weren't the first settlers in Skyrim, and Windhelm wasn't the first city. You're forgetting the Night of Tears, the elves sacked Saarthal unprovoked and Ysgramor returned with the 500 to win the war that the elves had started.

Ysgramor was originally friendly with the snow elves, even learning from them and using what he learned to develop the nord written language. If the elves hadn't committed the Night of Tears at Saarthal, they'd probably still be around. Imagine if they had just talked to Ys about the Eye of Magnus in there instead of turning their back on the truce they had with the nords and killing everyone at Saarthal.

My theory is that some Snow Elven sages dug up the fact that the site of Saarthal was where a dangerous magical energy source had been disposed of in earlier times. The Nord settlers, however, were delving deeply into the ground for the building of their burial crypts and were much too close to this artifact; in fact, they must have found it, for in 'our' time, it is contained in the crypt holding one of the Gauldursons. Since this artifact, in the wrong hands, could 'remake' the world (viz Ancano's dialogue), the Snow Elves were determined to keep the Nords from using it, thus the attack and obliteration of Saarthal. That way the artifact was safe and the Nords would have no clue of the power it contained.

Ysgramor was also very angry. One book that wasn't mentioned is the "Night of Tears" that tells of the destruction of Sarthaal (we've all been there) that was a surprise attack by the Snow Elves.

I'm so glad you explained to me the mini falmer, I was playing and ran into two, one was miniature and one was normal sized haha. I had to take a screenshot it was so bizarre.

What most people forget is that the 500 companions were not Nords they were Atmoran's which became the nords after crossbreeding with the nedes over generations with their frost resistance being one of the few surviving traits from the atmoran people

Falmer builders could explain why Windhelm's architecture is quite different from earlier Nordic settlements.

You should have mentioned the wild falmer. In the forgotten vale when you follow the river downwards, you will drop into a cave. There you will encounter them. They are completely naked and attack with their bare blood riddled claws. It seems like not many people know about them, since they are never mentioned.

“Innocent” is quite a bit generous of a word for the snow elves, after all they showed no mercy to shorthal and all the “reasons” people have hypothesized aren’t good enough of an excuse. The snow elves started the fight in such a cruel way I don’t judge how the nords decided to retaliate.

The Nords were in Snow Elf territory on sufferance. They were foreigners who were not invited; squatters if you will. We do not know what may have sparked the Snow Elf actions because naturally the Nords aren't going to tell us about it if there was one, or more, reasons. All I know is that the Snow Elves could have slaughtered them on the beachheads righteously as defending their land from invaders, but they didn't. Most elves aren't as impulsive as humans; I doubt they would have taken their action at Saarthal without due consideration of consequences and found it important enough to take the risk.

I think this has huge potential. Maybe there are some books, which tell about the founding and the different happenings in the past. You could that with the college of winterhold, the thieves guild, the blades, morag tong, the companions, the nightingales or some orc fractions.
