I have an axe to grind with the person who wrote Akaviri names for TES. I failed so many times to pronounce them that I ended up taking over 2 hours to record this video. I hope it was worth it.

The “the child is always the same race as the mother” explanation spits in the face of the existence of Bretons.

I always figured it was because it was over hundreds of generations in interbreeding

Ik this comment was 2 years ago but I believe I can explain. So eventually over generations of slavery and breeding between direnni and nedes the offspring of the nedes inherented more and more traits of their altmeri fathers, while having the physical appearance and limitations of the nedes. Then, eventually becoming the Druidic ManElves, late becoming Bretons

I personally believe that the Tsaesci aren't snake people, but books/dialogue call them vampires. Their snake form is probably similar to the Volkihar clan's vampire lord form. The Tsaesci "eating" the men of Akavir is them turning the entire human population to vampires. Another point in favour of this theory is that the Gray Prince in Oblivion is not a vampire while having one as his father, but you can still see that there's something "off" about him. A child of a Tsaesci father and human mother might look a little "snakey" but still human enough.

It’s so funny to me that you just so happen to be covering a part of the Elder Scrolls lore in this video, which I just heard about, and subsequently researched myself, maybe a week or two ago lol. I haven’t been able to get back into ESO for a few years now (as much as I hope that changes in the near future), but I still try to keep up with at least _some_ of the lore that it continuously adds, because a lot of it really is 10/10 content in my book. Some of the best lore that has _ever_ been written for TES, in my opinion of course, has come from ESO expansions. Even though I still haven’t gotten around to experiencing them yet myself, the lore of both ESO Summerset, and Elsweyr, have quite a few bits and pieces (large and small) that have easily become favorites of mine. What I really love most about The Elder Scrolls are the wide variety of gods, and the different religious pantheons with different interpretations of gods across the many races of Tamriel, and Nirn at large, honestly, even though we don’t have _too_ much on the religions of the races of Akavir, or the historical races from Atmora, Yokuda, and places like Thras and Pyandonea. Basically, I just love learning more about the gods of the Elder Scrolls universe, and Summerset and Elsweyr hit that sweet spot for me, considering I had yearned to know more about [High] Elven gods and Khajiit gods for _years_ before they came out. And I still do want to know more about them lol, because now I have a few new all-time favorite gods that I love so much and can’t get enough of, like Xarxes (top #1 favorite god of the series, no doubt), Baan Dar, Trinimac, the Riddle'Thar, Rajhin, and Jephre/Y'ffre/Y'ffer. That unique feeling of exploration, and discovering ancient secrets lost to time, never gets old, and that’s why I love this fictional universe above all else. Thank you for doing what you do, Zork. I really enjoy your content, and it brightens my day whenever I get to watch some of your videos, my dude. So I’m grateful for you, and all of the work, and passion, you put into making these videos for us all. Thanks, man. ✊

I want to know how the Tsaeci actually look like so badly

ESO has many interesting quest lines. I am glad you are taking a look

Wow! That's quite fascinating, never knew that village could hold such an interesting story. Heading straight for Hakoshae right now to see it myself 😃

Can you do a series talking about the complete history (like a timeline) of each province? Like the history of Skyrim, cyrodil, Morrowind, etc? I looked up the history of Skyrim the other day and couldn’t find any videos on the subject. I feel like it would be a cool series.

They could be morphers. Aka werewolves being wolf-men.

Hadn't really thought of the whole the child is the race of the mother in the Elder Scrolls about the snake men meaning that in a generation or two there simply being no Akaviri snake men left. Have to wonder though if they were more like an argonian than a true snake man. Good lore video though.

Ya you always forget that in the elder scrolls prity much every intelligent race can mate with each other (even sloeds and kerlics), but do to their being no mixed races besides a few traits here and their. Things like the fact that a good portion of imperial have snake in them and their are a few people who have Kielce or ice elves in them possibly even dworven or other exstint or degraded spiecies in them., you don’t notice because they always end up the same race as their mother.

Yeah but.... Bretons are a race.... Literally mixed from Nede & Altmer. Retcon stuff to explain away the difficulties of creating mixed race characters... I hope in ES6 they implement a system where you pick a race (as in mother bloodline) but can also pick a father race. You will play as the mothers race and have those race perks starting stats etc. However, you get extra visual options, like maybe some skin colours from fathers race, or slightly pointed ear options asa human with elf father, or new height option's if fathers race is taller/ shorter.

@@jamiemckell34 Bretons aren't mixed race. They are just related to the elves and nedes through evolution chain. It had nothing to do with reproduction though. Just a similarity to both the nedes and the altmer.

How about a video about Falinesti?

Being versidue himself was an invader and he's always described as being a full naga form rather than mostly humanoid it would make sense how you said it, but invaders that arrived also had humanoid forms too being they ate the humans of akavir and I doubt assimilating into another race like that would be consistent. I still think the more naga variants would be of higher born of their race like politicians, nobles, educators, etc. and the more humanoid form would be the lower born like soldiers and workers.

Ah, the Tsaesci... its still a mistery how they REALLY look like. Their armor is very similar to those of the Samurai, possibly even inspired by it. I can really imagine the town of the Tsaesci looking like feudal Japan

🍆 the legend

I don’t know why there’s still confusion over Tsaesci having legs. The ESO Akaviri enemies are never shown without helmets because they’re not just Tsaesci, they’re Kamal, Ka Po’Tun and Tang Mo and probably any other races from Akavir. Bethesda is also not going to have an eventual playable race that’s the only one( out of about 25 at that point)the doesn’t have bipedal walking/riding horses. I’ve been making an Akavir mod for skyrim and I’m definitely making them bipedal. My angle is that the Imps were sore about the Disaster at Ionith and wrote negative propaganda about the Tsaesci like the US did about the Japanese during WWII. They’d also just look silly with a tail for legs. I couldn’t take them seriously if they were fleshy pogo sticks flopping about.

I think it got better over time - the older the content is the more mmo like and generic it feels most of the time. But as much as it bends the lore, the actual writing and characterization in eso is way better then in the mainline games imo. 90% of characters in skyrim are really bland and boring, even if they shouldnt be, cause of their lore and background - eso has so many memorable characters and genuine good quests. Quests in oblivion in skyrim often feel more bland and mmo like then in eso, wich is an actual mmo lmao
