Best Elder Scrolls lore vids that I have seen.

Would you mind doing one on the Ideal masters?

[@theiyrosthenes1639]

Pelinal has the same energy of Kratos, Doomguy, and Guts.

[@wolframban]

Not just each of them separately but as if all three had a lovechild. Honestly, I'd love to get to know more about him and where he came from.

[@ventexovakon2178]

Well mostly doomguy. Same devs. (Or publishers)

[@marshmallowallen5677]

[@arutka2000]

It's the same guy. Living different realities, different times. Same guy. Forever fighting.

[@Mohmar2010]

imagine if we end up playing as that dude in TES 6 that would be epic

[@redchylde]

Imagine a game with the gameplay mechanics of Shadow of Mordor, with Pelinal as the player, going from town to town slaying Ayleid lords and others, with great graphics and lore. I'd give my kidney for that

[@PelinalWhitestrake36]

Me too...seriously I need to kill more elves.

[@Zelott_YT]

No he is the Terminator

[@omgaflyingmonkey]

There’s some deeper lore about him elsewhere and yeah he’s most probably an actual homicidal cyborg. They pulled a Might and Magic.

[@method6887]

We need a god damn movie about this. A choreographed fight between pelinal and umaril would be fantastic.

[@MeetThaNewDealer]

Preferably a tv series

[@Mr0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0]

try vigilant mod al of this is included (3 years late hehe)

[@tonyoallie]

Basically what is sounds like is Pelinal was a godlike human/daedra from the future who used an elderscroll to change time. Bascially it makes you wonder what his world was like which made him want to come to that time.

[@Y-all-mofos-need-Talos]

Nice theory, i'm tired of some people saying that he is a cyborg from the future, boooooring. Really good point man.

[@wu1ming9shi]

yeah, with an elder scroll anything is basically possible and impossible at the same time. he might as well have come from our world to there when you follow that logic.

[@squidwardtentacles244]

my theory is: Pelinal comes from original future which humans are still enslaved by ayleids. Pelinal's family gets killed by ayleids or something like that. Pelinal uses a elder scroll to go back time and stop human slavery. It's a dragonbreak or something like that I suppose.

[@the_dropbear4392]

Deniz Güler I'm pretty sure he comes from a future after landfall

[@owenziegler307]

Tonyo Allie maybe Pelinal is a future player character?

[@ElBloodyBones]

In the game Oblivion (if I remember correctly) you aren't allowed to use Pelinal's armor if you follow the steps of the Dark Brotherhood. Who worship Sithis. Which leads me to believe that he is not tied to Lorkan or Sithis. Since they are from the same line.

[@angkhoanguyen6114]

@@Super50ldier Tsun denied this.

[@Kainlarsen]

You can, but you must undergo a pilgrimage to the wayshrines, and have finished the Brotherhood questline in order to make sure your forgiveness stays valid.

[@ArmouredProductions]

Man, Pelinal Whitestrake is just one of the best characters. Insane "Cyborg" from the future Chuck Norris elf murder machine. So interesting man. I guess that's Kirkbride for you, since he wrote Knights of the Nine. Has anyone played the Knights of the Nine: Revelation mod for Oblivion??

As a fan of actual History, I can only be a fan of TES history I started playing oblivion in 2006, it was my first game on PS3 and I still come back to it every so often Thanks for all the videos!

He's dead. He's ALIVE!! He's dead again. He's ALIVE AGAIN. Damn man you are awefully like Umaril XD

[@okdn6336]

Pelinal, possibly a Shezzarine, saying his maniacal homicidal rages feel like “when the dream no longer needs its dreamer” goes hard AF. Think about having a dream and the beings in it being so wronged, that the dream itself becomes animate and goes on a rage bender. This gets even crazier when you consider the concept of the Godhead, and all of the Aurbis being a dream. Either the creation/dream itself, or Shor/Lorkhan, being the heart of Mundus itself, was PISSED at the Ayleids. Just. Damn.

[@darcksage1]

[@PelinalWhitestrake36]

AllPie MustDie and i love you too!!!

[@gaybowser4648]

I was just thinking that the Alessian Revolt could be a great idea for an Elder Scrolls prequel game, where you either side with Alessia or the Ayleids and you get to see the aftermath afterwards.

[@TheSilentOne50]

It'd be less than satisfying to see Pelinal laying waste to battlefields while you can kill one dude at a time lol

[@Cool_Adam]

You should do a video with Zaric Zhakaron. You both agree on numerous things within the lore.

Elder scrolls lore in a nutshell: some elves decided to mistreat humans. Those elves went extinct. Makes me wonder what'll happen to the thalmor.

[@IceStormy21]

Pelinal Whitstrake is pretty much like Doom Slayer or Doom Slayer is like Pelinal Whitstrake. Since both of them are extremely overpowered, destroy pretty much everything that gets in their way, both crazy batshit insane fucks, and can go time travel. Am I the only one who see the similarities? Then again The Elder Scrolls and Doom are made by the same company and in Doom, it shows a Easter egg of a dead guy who has a arrow on his knee, while has a Dragonborn helmet.

I think Pelinal’s purpose only is to make sure that the past where he travelled (assuming he’s from the future) really did go according to plan. That’s why he didn’t travel way distant in the past and killed eleven king to not affect the future.

[@glaucofernando9154]

Awesome! When the next one is coming?

[@nerrac2006]

What i think is, there are 2 timelines. The revolution by Alessiya failed and the Altmer became more stricter. So, Pelinal got some Op powers from a Daedric prince and used an elder scroll to go back to the 1st revolution where he helped Alessiya. This guy literally swept through Cyrodiil and his attacks were so brutal that he accidentaly went into Valenwood and Elsewyr and killed a few people there before he realised it. He was the best duelist they had and he killed almost every Ayleid warlord and captain in 1v1 combat. Only at the end of the war he left alone but got bested and his head was put on a stake to show the others that they had killed him.

[@Super50ldier]

He didn't get powers from a daedric prince, he is a Shezarrine, an aspect of Lorkhan aka Shezarr himself, the Creator of Mundus and Hero of Mankind.

[@tomtheconqerur]
