"How can we kill a God?" *Proceeds to get clapped by my OP battlemage spamming unbounded storms*

[@K1ngCraft]

I guess there is a way after all!

[@fatalcake23]

It was SUCH an honor to be the Matriarch, and it's really incredible to see so much lore brought into one place with such polish. Loving every second!

[@K1ngCraft]

Your voice was perfect for her! Thank you again for being part of this!

[@cellardoor5564]

Never have I seen such an epic and cinematic telling of The Tribunal. I'm truly in awe at your work, what an incredible piece of artwork. Thank you! By far the best I've seen on the platform

[@K1ngCraft]

This is one of the nicest comments I've received in a while. Thank you, dude. :)

[@cellardoor5564]

@@K1ngCraft You're welcome, it's truly epic man. You've actually inspired my next Skyrim playthrough; a Dunmer who rediscovers his lost Chimer heritage (have some cool golden war paints just like your depiction of Indoril Nerevar). 👌💯

[@Callisto_Arcas]

Wow. I'm absolutely blown away. It's crazy that this video never came up in my recommended list. The only reason I found it was from a search for "Ghosts of the Tribunal". This was a stunning showcase of the Tribunal's history. I wish you had done more lore videos. You truly have talent in lore storytelling. Well done! (now I think I'm gonna watch it again)

[@K1ngCraft]

This was a first for me so definitely was learning to crawl before I run haha. Its an honour to read such a nice comment!

[@TheChrondosia]

What an amazing video. Your work is truly a great service to the lore seekers of TES.

[@K1ngCraft]

As I sit here, first thing in the morning, drinking my coffee. This has made my morning. Thank you! :)

[@gunnsleemotamer4099]

Even if the Dwemer had not struck the heart they were still in a loosing battle. They were fighting the Chimer above ground and the Falmer below it

[@TealFirefox4387]

This is a very well made video, but Almalexia's monologue to the Naravarine is the best bit.

[@dustin4432]

Phenomenal work. I don’t have the patience to track down all the in game books to learn the lore and you have went above and beyond. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@K1ngCraft]

You're very welcome! Your comment shows me that my intention was a success!

[@c-mar9820]

This is so awesome, and so well done. Morrowind lore is, to me, the most compelling in TES, and you've really done it justice here. The Battle of Red Mountain looked amazing! I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my game to get Ghosts of The Tribunal and this was a really great look into it. Honestly shocked this never came up in my recommended videos until I was looking up ALMSIVI today, this flew under the radar, unjustly IMO.

[@nn-jv4kv]

The Tribunal, for all their flaws, were still the best gods Tamriel ever had

[@liveslugreaction6509]

I will forever hate them for killing st nerevar

[@crabinfestation]

​@@liveslugreaction6509 as sotha sil said, if that is what you need of him

[@tevinramon5763]

The world needs ALMSIVI again

[@PalletEater214]

I don’t really think so, if you think about it the tribunals very existence can be seen as a reflection of there anticipations. The only difference with Mephala, Boethia and Azura is that they are at least honest with what they are while Vivic and Almylexia have this facade that they are better then their daedric counterparts. This can be see when Vivec doesn’t move the floating rock over vardenfell and Almyexia unleashing creatures upon her city just for her to be seen as a hero again. Both are selfish in there actions and ultimately the power they obtains while making them more knowledge then any mortal (with maybe the exception of Talos) along with more power it didn’t make them inherently wiser. At least for Sotha Sil (assuming all 3 killed Nerevar) he at least had a plan keeping his people inside the clockwork city safe even if he wasn’t around. And even though I like Sil more then the other to these 3 gods did deprive their population of reaching the same sort of enlightenment they got via a shortcut that there people aspired to have.

[@QueenJulie21]

This is so informative and well made. My favorite tribunal god is Almalexia but unfortunately there is not a lot of content about her. Thank you so much for this video!

[@K1ngCraft]

She is my favourite of the Three, despite how terrible she is haha. Thank you very much for the kind words Julia! :)

[@lukasz.adamski]

You can kill her in one of Morrowind expanisions. That's enough content. She's deluded and evil.

[@toasterman40]

You and others who worked on this should be proud, this is beyond impressive!

[@K1ngCraft]

Thank you very much Toaster! :)

1st, this was the best lore and cinematic video 2nd, am I the only one disappointed that these masks didn't have an enchantment that match each of their divine traits?

[@sai22295]

Thank you for taking the time to create this.

[@jesterssketchbook]

holy heck! i had to stop the video to look-up where the visuals came from - only to find it's YOU. I cant even begin to describe how much youve helped me visualize and personalize Dunmer history in this - seeing Dagoth in his youth, all dark eyed, and already untrustworthy-looking. I could go on - but in summary, just amazing work my dude.

[@K1ngCraft]

Thank you so much Jester! I'm glad you liked the style I went with! :)

[@Icehead2.0]

God damn bro this vid is amazing! Loved it!

[@K1ngCraft]

Thank you Icehead!! :D

[@ChrisVellrath]

Great storytelling, in both writing and especially your visuals and broll. Taking the time to set up the scenes over narration really takes your production values to the next level. I used to naively consider Elder Scrolls lore to be a cheap knockoff of LOTR, or dollar store D&D. At least back in the day it seemed a lot of passion and thought went into building the world. Thanks for the glimpse into one of the many facets. Well done! Subbed.

[@K1ngCraft]

This is honestly one of the most meaningful comments I have ever received! I felt out of my depth when making this video as I'd not made something so big or so long and requiring so much work like writing a script and organizing working with so many other creators! It means a lot to hear you say that! The Elder Scrolls is the most important fictional world to me and is very near and dear to my heart. It makes me so happy to hear that I could share the awesome lore of this game with someone like yourself!

[@ChrisVellrath]

@@K1ngCraft I’m glad my comment left such a positive impression. That was the intention: words of encouragement for a creator who clearly has a passion for the material. For what it’s worth, I work professionally in film production, documentaries, and indies, etc - to me a video such as this demonstrates a good grasp of the fundamentals and tools at your disposal necessary to tell a rich story. I look forward to more! And be sure to have fun while doing so!!

[@Fierygundam3325]

I always believe the tribunal are the best thing for Morrowind despite them being to bold because they took a curse that azura give to them and the tribunal took it and turn it into a good thing that how you rule a race

[@fullyilluminated]

Doing a build right now in Elden Ring and named him "Almalexia Knight" 😇

[@wakkablockablaw6025]

This video was awesome! 10/10. I don't suppose you have plans for doing the same thing with Saints and Seducers or The Cause.

[@K1ngCraft]

That's very kind! Thank you! That's an interesting idea though! However I don't know as this video took months to create only to not even break 20k views after two years lol.

[@wakkablockablaw6025]

@@K1ngCraft Yeah, I totally understand if you don't decide to do it. It seems like a huge project without much to gain. For whatever it's worth, I subscribed when I watched this video.

[@eyesack6845]

Caius Cosades was a doppleganger from Mehrunes dagon sent to take out the Red Tower. Him being recalled was due to the Empire discovering him. The first three games all led up to Oblivion. Morrowind and Battlespire were most overt, but all of them had some allusions. Dagon was coming, and he's been planning this since day one.

[@K1ngCraft]

I've never heard this before. Source?

[@eyesack6845]

@@K1ngCraft My source is that I made it the f*ck up. It's loosely based on some things micheal kirkbride said, and some stuff that happens in the comics that makes it pretty clear that Caius knows more than he lets on. Not to mention the Tharn dopplegangers infiltrating every level of imperial authority. It wasn't just the emperor that was imprisoned. A legion dedicated to finding these dopplegangers was active as of Morrowind. Who knows how deep it goes?

[@lindalobstadefenda]

What an Amazingly Well done video. The Voice Cast and the way it was produced was Fantastic. I do have one question, who was the Dedication to at the end?

[@K1ngCraft]

I really appreciate that! :) Thank you! - The dedication at the end is to one of my community members who use to watch me on Twitch all the time, sadly they passed.

[@Kiwibird31]

I’ve been playing Skyrim since 2016. I’ve officially started like all of the completion stuff (claws, masks, etc) and I’ve been discovering more about Solstheim and all of the other quests that are actually there. I never even knew I could become a member of house tulvani, but I’m watching this video now because I just stumbled upon all of this stuff and I need to know if I should let them live and join them or not because I have no idea who they are 😭

[@JMulvy]

Well, that answered ALL of my questions. Normally, my Daedra worshiping Dovahkiin would lay waste to the temple but joining them seems like a much more interesting experience. Besides, if I have to I can always trade a Legendary Dragonbone War Axe with Vesparth for the Cleaver of St. Felms, seeing as how MY craftsmanship is superior to the ancient artifact. 😅

[@K1ngCraft]

I'm glad it helped! Felms is a sick weapon!!

[@Lastlineshow]

Ayyyyy this was amazing. As a huge fan for lore and cinematics this was fantastic seeing everything played out and explained. Amazing work to everyone who worked on this and it was an honor to get to add my voice alongside all these incredible Voice Actors on this. Extremely thankful to be given a chance!

[@K1ngCraft]

I'm a fan of that also haha. Thank you very much! - I'm glad you could be part of it!

[@lighterudite]

It's brilliant they choose Aphia Velothi to be "friends of the Tribunal". As she says she was once in the temple, but not the reason why she left, this is why. Also that cult is basically Almalexia simps 😂

[@K1ngCraft]

They really are Almalexia simps 😂

[@samuelepantaleo3358]

What a grand and intoxicating video!

[@longdooku5365]

Great video! One question though, what outfit mods are the tribunal during the battle of red mountain scene using? They look really good and I'd like to find them.

[@K1ngCraft]

Thank you Long!! They are from the "Armors of the Velothi Pt. I" mod on he Nexus!

[@zedorian6547]

Good video so far but I see we conveniently opted to exclude everything involving The Tribunal that happened in The Elder Scrolls Online and skipped straight to Morrowind. Perhaps i am wrong though and we will talk about that later in the video….

[@K1ngCraft]

The ESO lore isn't relevant to this video lol

[@zedorian6547]

@@K1ngCraft The ESO lore is most certainly relevant! Amalexia played a massive role during the Ebonheart Pact storyline. Vivek was one of the key players during the entirety of the Morrowind expansion and we literally were dealing with the Clockwork City and its messes in order to help Sotha Sil during the Clockwork City DLC. Unless I am wrong and the video wasn't supposed to be a lore video going over the history of the Tribunal and I just got it wrong. In which case I apologize and concede that I was wrong. I did finish the video though and very much enjoyed it.

[@maxdot93]

Great vid! Might I ask what mods are you using for Almalexia? Is it a preset that's available? also what mod are her tattoos?

[@K1ngCraft]

Thank you very much Shrub! I used an Almalexia follower mod for Skyrim Legendary Edition which came with the armor and tattoos already. I then cloned her with Proteus and edited her to have high poly head and new hair.

Awesome work to you guys!

[@K1ngCraft]

Thank you very much! :)

[@jerrywlawsjr]

If the tribunal did not know that they could harness the power of the heart till months later then why did they betray Nerevar? Both versions of this story have complex intricacies that support and mitigate their individual versions. Quite possibly the story that the tribunal obeyed Nerevars’ last wishes is true.

[@cadendehaan9058]

I am subscribing for this video alone. Maybe it's just undiagnosed autism, but Morrowind is my Roman Empire and this video is lore I have yet to hear from another source.

Did you make your own maps or did you use a mod? If you did make your own maps will you ever post them?

[@K1ngCraft]

I made some of the maps on my own or combined other peoples work. Sadly I think I've deleted all the maps now as they were not really "playable" more so just "sets" to shoot the scenes on.

[@DorianMano]

What was Almalexia's name during the first council war?

[@K1ngCraft]

It was very hard to find info of her life prior to marrying Nerevar. I guess something like Lady Ayem (House name). After marrying Nerevar she would of been called Queen Ayem Indoril I guess.

[@arinwendeeriadorskaya6917]

There is a fan theory from /r/teslore that she was named Indoril Llaesa

[@arinwendeeriadorskaya6917]

Everything was great... except for Azura in the end. Azura has nothing to do with this particular questline, she has the whole mainstream Reclamations Temple now, so she would better leave the Tribunalists alone at last

12:41

[@TristenSarelvun]

Woo! It's here! And it's really flipping cool! I like the style, it's like if FudgeMuppet were more cinematic, the characters, set pieces, voice over, and all. Really sweet. My only constructive criticism is that your prose needs a bit of work. For instance, at 40:14. "A guard like all the rest, standing guard at his station...." You don't need both. Either remove the second half or, if you think this section flows best with it, replace one of the "guards" with another word. "A guard like all the rest standing idly at his station," or something like that. This is the kind of you just get better at with experience. The rest of that paragraph sounds great. Question, why did you choose to show the Nerevarine rather than keep him more vague visually? It makes total sense to keep him visually similar to Nerevar, but be careful about Julan or Qa'Dojetta hearing about it....

[@K1ngCraft]

I appreciate the feedback on the script. A first for me really. - Like FUDGEMUPPET? High praise, thank you! As for the Nerevarine I didn't think about "hiding" him so viewers can "insert their vision" of what the nerevarine looks like for them. Which might of been a better choice now that I think about it. I tried to make him look like the most "generic"Nerevarine I could think of. The default Dunmer from the Morrowind character creation screen came to mind haha.
