The Elder Scrolls Lore: Hircine
Ойындар
Hircine is the Daedric Prince of the Hunt, the Sport of Daedra, and the Great Game. Hircine isn't exactly an evil Daedric Prince, as he never fails to give his prey a chance at escape or survival, as to not make the Great Hunt unfair. Hircine is commonly revered by many who are Lycanthropes or other Therianthropes, as they travel to his realm upon death, to participate in the neverending Game of the Hunt. This video discusses Hircine, his worshippers, his plane of Oblivion, as well as many other topics regarding his historical significance on Nirn and Oblivion as a Daedric Prince.

I would love a shivering isles style dlc for Hircine & his realm for The Elder Scrolls VI

Yes! Maybe about a large group getting stuck in his realm and trying to escape. Maybe Two armies in a battle that accidentaly opened a portal to Oblivion and ended up in his hunting grounds. PS: Just realized how good an idea this is, so if this actually happens i want credits from Bethesda lol.

She never misses picking the perfect soundtracks for the theme, even if it's from another game the haunting eeriness suits hircine well
Just made my work day. Thanks I get to listen to elders scrolls lore instead of working because I know what's important.

Ah, the best and fairest of the princes. Good hunting to all that watch this video. PS: I have been looking forward to this video, i love your channel And i knew you would make a great video on him. Thank you and i hope your channel grows more And more!
I enjoyed that inro music of the Wild Hunt from the Witcher 3... paying homage to Hircine and his Wild Hunt lol
Another brilliant showcase. Love the art displayed during the video. It's interesting that you used music from the Witcher 3, I actually feel that Hircine would be depicted more accurately as an Ancient Leshen due to its prowess, strength and mysticism.
These videos are awesome. You have a very articulate voice that makes it super easy to just listen and learn, even in the background. Thanks for taking the time to do all this. There's a metric ton of lore in TES, spanning two decades and all sorts of media.

That's what I was thinking. Most people didn't venture too far in to the wilds I think, to find him.
If I were living in Tamriel I would worship the following in this order: 1: Sithis and The Night Mother 2:Hircine 3:Meridia And that's it. I mean maybe Akatosh at number 4? Huh. Just now noticed I didn't add any of the Aedra there. Okay legit would be delighted to spend eternity in the afterlife in Hircine's Hunting Grounds.

There is a sick mod on skyrim that lets you go to Hircine's realm. The prerequisite is I think around 120 animal kills with a unique bow or spear and nothing else. After thats finished you enter his realm and have to hunt down each Alpha Werebeast to gain their form(which you can change at will by just revisiting his realm) all with unique abilities to their form. I think I was a werelion, pretty tanky stats. And you gain a busted item but to be fair it really fits with the lore and for the amount of enemies you either have to hastily avoid or kill to get it. You place it on the ground and if in combat summons like 6-8 random werebeasts , as a roleplayer during that playthrough as a werebeast dedicated to Hircine and the art of the hunt I really felt rewarded for actually completing that quest. There's a religion mod with shrines that actually give you passives and abilities that just make it even better.

The beginning REALLY threw me for a loop when suddenly I was blasted by Witcher music since I switched from laptop to iPad😂
