2 hours of pure undilluted Elder Scrolls Lore? Well, I got nothing to do for the rest of the day!

you really rose to the occasion for this video!!

The instrument at 1:18:44 is a psaltery, very similar to a modern lap harp

My favourite bit was about the roses As a khajjit main i loved all the attention they got in this lol

watching your lore vids are like finding a rose growing in a sidewalk!! always a treat to come across!!

Why not integrate these festivities into our everyday lives? These holidays are wholesome. I’m thinking of new family traditions!!

The "Whispering Claw" martial art style has also been referred to as the "Whispering Fang" style, specifically by Arnbjorn in the Dark Brotherhood quest "Sanctuary" Here's the quote: "I am not adorable, it was not funny, and he wasn't a merchant. He was a Khajiit monk, a master of the Whispering Fang style. But now he's dead... and I have a new loincloth." It's possible that it has more than one name but I think it's more likely that Arnbjorn was mistaken or he misspoke.

it could also be a unique subdiscipline of whispering claw, perhaps a more direct style based off the same original martial art

The funny thing about the "Overconfidence due to the blessings of the gods and their Rose" bit for me is I thought it was a reference to Arena. In Arena you could go to temples to get blessings (from Gods not really mentioned now like Seth). Now the funny thing about that is because Arena used the old school Daggerfall/Morrowind style To Hit Chances, what a blessing did was make you more likely to hit. Sounds nice. And it stacked (so you could get like 50 blessings and have automatic hits all the time for example). But due to a bug or something, Blessings were universal. So while YOU as the player got an increased chance to hit... so did literally everyone else you were in combat with. So I thought it was a subtle callback to that, where Blessings were basically a trap and players experienced that thing. "Ha ha, I'm blessed, I'm going to be OP now!" and finding out that despite their full suits of Ebony Armor and what not, every monster they ran into easily ripped through it as well.

Ait, got my garlic butter bread, sunflower seeds and tea. Time to binge this

Started watching this at 7 on the 7th day of week, great stuff.

The part about roses made me cry!

Fantastic video, thank you for all your work put into it.

Been keeping up with your channel for a couple of years now, this video is such a treat! 🥳

​@@Saber23why do you want to hurt, or make a person feel wrong about themselves, someone you don't even know, for a comment they made on a video? Your aggressiveness towards an unknown person is completely avoidable.

'Rose' Great video, dude. Keep up the good work

“We don’t have any songs performed by the orcs” Lurbuk during the dark brotherhood questline: hmm okay.. shadows creep..

1:18:48 It's called a Psaltery:) it's an instrument similar to a zither except it's held instead of laid on one's lap or a table. Not to be mistaken for a lyre, also a smaller harp like instrument, but it's hard to due to the psaltery being very distinctly shaped lol [Edit] so I got curious where they're from causing me to do some searching and apparently the consensus is no one knows for sure, which is a fairly common story for instruments even slightly less popular, even the most wildly popular instruments can have vague pasts. At best we have a "somewhere in ancient middle eastern areas, maybe Greece more specifically due to the name being greek but Idk man" mostly because the lack of documentation for instruments usually leads to people having to go "uhh well this instrument might be a prototype or evolved form of this instrument, lets put it'd history like this"

thank you for these! please keep these collections coming

This is like attending a lecture at the Imperial College!

ROSE Thanks for the lore vid!!!!!!!

Not sure what will turn more heads, me using the word Rose in this comment or admitting that I watched the whole thing on the treadmill, lol.

This might get me back into the elder scrolls

Ur videos bring me so much happiness, thanks for putting so much work in them ❤

I love your videos!!!!!!!

Rose, love these long videos

Great video, really appreciate this compilation of lore. Could just be me, but the volume of the background music competes with your voice at times, particularly when the music swells. Could just be me though.

Love these. Never stop.

I believe I have a good idea for another great war speculation video that could be in the background of the next elder scrolls, or better, become the forefront. So, either the Aldmeri get attack by the sea elves or the imperials attacked by the Akaviri. When this happens, what would the other side do, attack and take advantage or defend Tamriel together? Akaviri is more obviously a serious threat but you could speculate the sea elves have a more dangerous agenda, probably influenced by a Daedra. I think this would be cool and if u do to please think about it as a video

Is it customary to take everything that isn't nailed down from your friend's house and sell it to a shop next-door? Uhhh, asking for a friend...

You make me proud

I think that square instrument around 1:17:00 is a stylized Lyre?

I bet dragon child eating day goes back to the time when the Nords and the dragons had an uneasy relationship

Rosers are red Dunmer are blue For the lore you have read I sincearly thank you❤

i love your channel so much. have a comment for the algo

Rose 🌹 Great job as always, but also 💀😭 now I have Phineas and Ferb music stuck in my head again 😂

LET'S FUCKING GOO, keep them coming ma man, love from Portugal brother!

It's kind of a shame that the newer games don't use these holidays outside of ESO, Rose, and Blades. I get why they don't. From what I understand most people really disliked in Daggerfall the fact that you could only summon a Daedric Prince one particular day every year (and you might get trolled by Sheogorath instead). Because then it means things like a Daedric Artifact isn't available on demand but actually requires knowledge and timing (and hoping you avoid like the 10% chance of Sheogorath trolling). So it seems they threw that out, and with it, all the Holidays as well. Which is kind of a shame since they don't do seasons so Holidays could be a way to actually suggest the passing of time and give your journey a little more color, you know? It's like Gary Gygax famously said, "Strict and accurate tracking of time is the most important aspect of D&D". And the Elder Scrolls ever since Arena has always wanted to be D&D like. The use of Time as a factor to things creates some of the best dynamic scenarios. If you find out something like in "Blood on the Ice" in Skyrim the Butcher's Necromantic Rituals takes place every full moon of Masser instead of "soon! Tonight even!" as the quest actually does... it forces you to take notice of things you might not have considered. Like astronomy, or what time of month it actually is. You might miss it because you wanted to go adventuring rather than waiting around, letting more bodies be taken through your negligence. Little things. Having a reason to look up at the sky instead of "I heard a dragon" for instance. Paying attention to what village you're in and the opportunities it might give like discounted weaponry or "All Crimes are Forgiven, no Halt! from the guards" or something. It can provide adventure hooks like if there's this holiday rumored about a Dragon eating kids.. does that mean there was a dragon near that village? Is there a ruin you can find with it? Has it already been looted? Hell can you use your Illusion Magic to create the Dragon's Return to terrorize people? There's a lot of things that open up when you treat the calendar as though it actually exists, instead of every day the same as every other.

Top-tier research my dude. Let me guess: someone stole your sweet rose?

Great editing. Made all the video transitions smooth

The algorithm requires engagement

This video made me feel quite rosey

I know what I'm going to listen to sleep in a few

Still waiting on that Druegh vid mang 😢

Thank you as always

Do you think it would charm an orc if one gives them a bloody rose?

Speaking of roses, always wondered if flowers had any special meaning in the elder scrolls.

I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure that instrument was a zither it's an old Asian version of a peasant harp... But I could be wrong

Listening to Elder Scrolls lore with Witcher music in the background is doing weird things to my brain

@alexandermetcalfe7750

And Kingdom Come Deliverance music at the start

42:28 the Elvish God of Death is very similar to the Egyptian God Thoth, who's also a associated with Scribes, death, knowledge, and history. Its His role to judge the souls (or Ba) in the afterlife by speaking the truth & tell those who passed away about either their sins or pure attentions in life. Also the Egyptians will erase the names, records, and memories of a love one if they did a sinful or malicious acts against the Gods & the people of Egypt (or Kemet to the Egyptians) while the Pharaohs will become their own Gods in the afterlife after their deaths.

Is that the music from the Witcher

This is almost 30 or more years of Elder Scrolls development and lore meaning this universe had time to flesh itself out. Newer franchises have a long time to go while inherited ones had a similar amount of time. In attraction and sex appeal, people who were pudgy was considered sexy until corsets were introduced and now we consider athletically built as sexy.

I rose to the occasion.

Here take this 🌹 Makes for good background noise at work these long form videos

rose's are beautiful

I listen to this while I built my friends new gaming PC. Not only did I beat my build record but also finished almost the same time you did.

i watched til the rose

Love your work Zork! Never useless info for us roleplayers. That being said. Have you ever considered doing a video on Tamrielic Fashion? Maybe a real life comparison, or through the ages/games? Thanks so much for your amazing vids.

More long videos homie

Sanguine’s rose

LILAC. It was lilac, wasn't it?

The bit about the roses was definitely a surprise, I did not expect that about argonians.

Uh something about a rose

Rose 🌹

Joe hef a bit of an exent

Man KZread sucks sometimes. The timestamp feature has the option to choose the chapters straight from the timeline on most videos, but on some (such as this one) their system doesn’t register it and I have to go find the chapter links in the description. This is a big issue plaguing smaller channels for over 3 years now and youtube hasn’t done squat about it

rose

Ah yea a 2 hrs lore

Please stop putting red lines on the bottom of your thumbnail pics. It kind of makes it look like a watched video on mobile and I don’t want to accidentally not watch one of your videos because of it!
