Also for people who actually read this, this is probably my biggest project yet. It's really what my channel has been sort of going towards, and I didnt expect to still be doing this in 2021. I started this channel in 2016 after watching and getting inspired guys like Fudgemuppet , Camelworks and Avarti. And to know that people actually enjoy my stuff is very cool. Thank you all :)

    To generally explain a dragon break. Imagine light through a prism. The prism represents the start. The refracted rainbow represents the timelines. Now imagine the entire rainbow of light hitting another prism, and becoming normal light again. This is a dragon break. Time shatters into multiple paths. But they eventually reconverge, and all aspects and events within every path are true and false. But from an outside perspective you see everything as it happens.

    Hey, I know this is late but how is it possible though? Isn't there a contradiction? Say there was a dragon break when Alduin returned, so there would be a timeline where the Dragonborn fail to stop Alduin and one where he succeeded. If the timelines reconverge how can the Dragonborn have failed and succeeded at the same time?

It is, in essense, a plane of oblivion just like a daedric prince's realm is, and Lorkhan was to be it's Daedric Prince, but between his betrayal being discovered and the other spirits not putting everything into Nirn, it became different. And everything in the Elder Scrolls universe? It is all the manifestation of a dreamer. It's all, technically, one big dream. And dreams do not follow logic as we know it.

    My dream future elder scrolls game is one which does a bait and switch halfway through the main questline where the dwemer return and they become the new antagonists because they've been trapped in some other plain of existence and they've made it their mission to return to tamriel and conquer it. It would be cooler if its kept a secret in the marketing of the game and its a suprise for the player unless they've seen some leaks.

    I may be decently familiar with _Elder Scrolls_ lore but it is helpful to get an in-depth refresher every now and then; and even in a "Introduction Basics" video I can always learn something new. This is indeed an impressive effort of summarization and I look forward to the future episodes of the "Intro Lore" series you are developing. Also with what you said about Elder Scrolls themselves; I just thought what if its the game code itself that's written on them.

Example, the Second Era is personally one of my favorite era of ES Lore. That was the era when there was no Dragonborn emperor and with the death of the last Tsaeci potentate, the Interregnum began. It wasn’t until *hundreds* of years later that Hjalti Early-Beard was revealed to be a Dragonborn. When he came to the Ruby Throne, called himself Tiber Septim and relit the Dragon Fires, only then did the Third Era finally begin.

    Daggerfall was my gateway drug into TES and it blew my mind when I played it for the first time. I had no inkling of the scope of the game or what to expect from it. My college buddy lent me his copy and right there on the box was written "Welcome to your new obsession". It was the first PC game I'd ever played and, having nothing but console JRPGs under my belt, my sense of awe and wonder was palpable. I could do practically ANYTHING in this world. It was such an enormous sandbox that I have yet to finish the main story line. Someday, King Lysandus,...someday I will finally free your tormented soul and close the marble jaws of Oblivion.

    Fun fact: when he was talking about books being censored, he is most likely talking about “The Real Barenziah” which is a biography about one of the most famous Dunmer Queens who came to power just as the Septim Dynasty was founded. The censored portion was actually censored not “by the church” in game but by people rating the game as the particular potion that got censored was a very graphic sex scene between Barenziah and Talos. They just used the church excuse I imagine as a way to explain the blip in the story and also possibly as a jab at the people who made them censor it in the first place.

    Big compliment on your ability to summarize and make references. I have watched many many hours of TES lore videos, but I was always lacking sources that summarize a bit. You do that very well (aedra vs. dadrea vs. magna ge for example). It's important for learning things to have summaries that help you compress knowledge into concepts. So, thank you for not just rambling on and stuffing information down our content hungry brains but actually taking the time to structure it in a way that makes it easy to follow.

    I've watched a lot of lore videos of TES and I wanted to see a video of the timeline all laid out and pieced together. You knocked it outta the park with this video!!! This video is what I'll recommend to my friends or anyone else who are also interested in learning the history. This video is so good, really well done and great in the way it highlights the main stepping stones of the history while also stressing that it's just a generalized rundown and there's a lot more details to learn. I can't wait to watch the other videos in this series.

    Honestly it's always worth keeping in mind a general overview of lore for any series, especially any series with a great deal of both depth and uncertainty to said lore. I think most of us who have knowledge of the lore, to one degree or another, have our general interpretations of what we consider likely but it's worth remembering that, even if our preferred interpretation is strong, nothing is really set in stone until it is canon.
