Elder Scrolls Lore: Ch.29 - Daedric Prince Boethiah

[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

I absolutely love the narrator's voice. This was some of his best work in the series.

[@Zalachean]

PassTheMarmalade1957 i think this is the man who also was a character in fable i think.

The quality of the videos and the visuals never ceases to amaze with each new episode. Props to the Machinema Artists, Voice Actor and Designers etc. Glad you have some credits at the start of the episode now.

[@ShoddyCast]

Question of the Week: Since Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim there have been fun rumors floating around the TES Lore community of Titus Mede II's possible involvement with Boethiah. As addressed in this episode, this theory is based on rumor though and unsubstantiated. For the sake of discussion, do you think it's possible the Mede family could have some Daedric connections? The Tharn family of the Second Era certainly did.

Considering the following "Emperor during the early Fourth Era who came to power after the Oblivion Crisis. He was father to Prince Attrebus Mede and progenitor of the Mede Dynasty. Before his reign as Emperor, Titus Mede had been several things: a Colovian warlord, a soldier in an outlaw army, and a king in Cyrodiil. In 4E 17, he captured the Imperial City with less than a thousand men and seized control of the crumbling Empire from Thules the Gibbering. Although the Elder Council had preferred the rule of Thules because he was Nibenese, in the end they were persuaded to accept Titus Mede as a liberator rather than a conqueror." I believe it is possible.

[@CoolBob444]

I wonder if this is connected to Tidus's surrender, If he welded the power of the favour of a daedric prince then surly he could have won the war with her help, perhaps Boethiah wanted a great sacrifice after the war or maybe she wanted the war to end like that to ban the worship of Talos, or maybe Tidus came across Goldbarnd out of pure chance that is also possible possible considering his position, he could have sent prospectors to find powerful artefacts to help in the war, this is all supposing the rumours were true.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

If he is a Deadric Worshiper, that probably explains why he gave up with the Great War even after retaking the Imperial City. The leader of the Thalmor threatened to revel that Tidus was a Deada Worshiper. Since he wanted to remain Emperor, he hastily agreed to the end of the war.

[@Michael-ol8he]

Yeah totally- would be awesome if we saw that in the next TES game!

[@CoolBob444]

Lightning Storm Keep in mind that Tidus was somewhat younger back in the war, but you are right, when I met him in Skyrim he did seem the like the political type.

[@222MrPyro]

So Boethiah "devoured" Trinimac and he became Malacath? Well, once you go Daedra, I guess... I wish Nocturnal would "devour" me. Heh heh heh.

[@disgustingweeabootrash1542]

Mr Pyro Indeed. Sadly, I'm a little... insane for her tastes.

[@hochmeisterulrichoffrankfu8207]

I've a feeling that I get it... But I don't

[@helioxous5338]

Mr Pyro molag bal must devour me

[@stellarkin1232]

Cameron Smith just don't give your consent, I'm sure he'll get around to it given to his proclivity for that kind if thing

[@Karirawri]

[@Wolvenfire86]

How the hell is THIS one of the good deadric princes?!

[@TheAlexagius]

the dunmer have a very different morality to that of other races

[@brandonwithnell612]

Wolvenfire86 without Boethiahs actions the Dunmer would have never existed, as such Boethiah is considered good in morrowind and no where else

[@Wolvenfire86]

Brandon Withnell The enslavers? That seems like a bad Deadra that did a semi-good thing once.

[@brandonwithnell612]

the belief that Daedra are good and evil is only in Dunmer religion, where as most races pray to the divines of the mortal realm and claim the Daedra to be no more than demons incapable of good or evil. the Dunmer however pray to the seven Daedra who were the most influential towards their birth as a race. ' Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala are held in high regard in Dunmer religion due to their influence on them on becoming the Chimer than later Dunmer and were their original gods before the tribunal replaced them, while Malacath, Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon and Sheogorath were seen as challenges for them to overcome.

[@kierkiboy]

Wolvenfire86 Dunmer culture is really focused on the strongest dominating the weakest. If a ruler can't defend him/herself he/she shouldn't be ruling in the first place, validity doesn't mean jack shit in Morrowind. That's why the Morag Tong can operate in clear daylight.

[@riddlekillerkiller]

the voice...so gooodd

[@dylanrapoport8307]

This series is amazing and gets better every week. The effort, dedication, and love put into the series shows. Thank you so much!

[@jared3238]

This is probably the best episode yet. The animations and narrations were perfect!

[@benfarnsworth9224]

the series just gets better, well done guys

[@naecov]

Boethiah is definitely my favorite daedric prince, mainly because of the ebony mail in skyrim. Not only does it look nice but it's enchantments are amazing

[@nategibson7453]

This series has gotten so damn polished. Its seems like a professional studio did it, not a bunch of shoddy youtubers. Great job, and keep up the excellent work! (love the new intro btw)

[@jamieeltringham7952]

shoddycast you and yoir partners have made an amazingly detailed and organized lore series. I absolutely lobe it. I wish I could throw a few dollars your way cause I don't want you to stop making these. but I can't. you guys are great

[@ItsMyTownX]

Wow, you really took a whole new direction with the design, it looks good!

[@MilkD2]

Still waiting of Sheogorath(;

[@naseemhemani]

sheo is meh massively overrated

[@santihodge5278]

How about Meridia. Maybe even Clav

[@BobBazooka]

Santiago Hodge how about not

[@Vidsick]

CHEESE!!!!

[@MrMoreDOTS]

mikhail kavami Sheogorath is one of my favorites havent you heard that he was the Daedric Prince of Order once? He became the Daedric Prince of Madness when they other Daedric Princes cursed him because they were afraid of him, so you could say Sheogorath is the best Daedric Prince.

[@haileye2191]

Watching your videos, I just want to say thank you for taking all this time out of your day to make these informative and entertaining videos for us. I own an Elder Scrolls Lore page on instagram and I find it difficult to make the posts, so I cant imagine how much hard work and time you put into these amazing videos. You will always have me as a subscriber. Thank you, ShoddyCast!!

[@TheLordboki]

I feel like I need to avoid getting into Empire vs Dominion arguments because there is really no point in arguing since it's all fiction. But as a final statement I will just put the facts as they are: 1. The Empire should have continued fighting the war not because of concrete chance of winning but because they would go down with the last shred of dignity humans had. 2. By signing the Concordat the Empire didn't buy time or save itself, it capitulated by accepting the terms of peace, digging it's own grave. Doesn't matter how much military you have, it's all gone when you underestimate the Elves. 3. The Stormcloak rebellion won't save mankind, it's decremental to the same goal mostly because they are killing their own solders. Empire couldn't stand against the Thalmor while it had Skyrim and there is no fucking chance they could stand now, with or without Ulfric's little rebellion. 4. Empire sucks: Corruption and tyranny 5. Stormcloaks suck: Hypocrisy and racism 6. Thalmor are Nazis

[@Lightscribe225]

Going down with dignity means squat if the Dominion achieves its goal; namely rewriting history so mankind, its history, and its dignity never existed.

[@jonnybridin]

Lightscribe225 that sounds like the perfect plot for ES 6!

[@ThatNutsAuzzie12]

Elves just want to become gods again, fucking greedy bastards!

[@Balinux]

An emperor's first priority is the well-fare of its people. If he kept fighting an unwinable war, we would have failed in that front far more than with the WGC.

[@hermaeusmora345]

The thalmor threw everything they had at the Empire. They failed. It will take thousands of years for the altmer to replenish their ranks. While Humans procreate ten times faster. Surely my Daedric kin will not allow Nirn to be removed from the top level of existence. We may yet see Shor (Lorkhan) take part in the Fight Against The Dominion Personally.

[@teenagerenagades]

Thanks for a great video guys!

[@kuba1087]

[@smilkfnaf3039]

Anybody hates how we can't get Goldbrand in Skyrim? Such an awesome sword.

[@appaloosahill4499]

Smilk FNAF supposedly its in the imperial palace in the emperors personal armory or perhaps in the summer set isles . It could have also been destroyed .. How Titus got it from the immortal nerevarine is not known . Though how boethia got back the ebony mail from the nerevarine isn't known either .... He / she's supposedly in akavir during the time of oblivion and as far as we know he / she's stuck there

[@pumbobjay]

+Appaloosa Hill Well daedra artifacts are known to not stay with a single wielder for long.

[@katmannsson]

Wellll considering the Hero of Kvatch had it after the Nerevarine...

[@lukepettinger9124]

Epic fucking opening! much better! Please keep these up, I always look forward to when they are done!

[@kmcmullin99]

Fantastic episode!--this series just keeps getting better!

[@TheMrCrown]

Awesome Series, thx for producing! I guess your scedule is pretty full with episodes about the deadric princes alone, but if you ever run out of ideas, here are some suggestions: -What happend to Morrowind (in Timeline after Skyrim) -What happend to Oblivion (see above) -The Timeline of TES (without the dragon break TESO) -Episodes of the History of the bigger Towns of Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim So,hope that whould keep you busy and us entertained for years. Keep on the genious work!

[@mojonation1487]

I think you're mixing up Oblivion and Cyrodiil.

[@TheMrCrown]

mojonation1487 You're right:I mean "What happened to Cyrodiil (in Timeline after the Events of Skyrim) Feel inspired anyway! ;P

[@lampsalesman2163]

Love the inclusion of the Medusa armour from the mod. Keep up the great work guys

[@gabrielf8064]

Amazing. I love all of these Elder Scrolls Lore videos. Great effort, congrats!

[@ethanfaiello71]

I don't know why but this episode was the best I've seen in both seasons so far it's very fresh

[@arcadedomination8006]

Part 3 of my quest ideas: *A Second Revolution* Step 1: In a random city(where you last leveled past the level needed) you talk to some followers of Boethiah who are imprisoned. Step 2: You help them escape to their shrine( You will lead a large group to that place, like having 5 or so followers) Step 3: once at the shrine you can slowly fund their efforts to build a warrior village( think about the "unearthed" quest) Step 4: Once it's finished they hold arena battles where you can win all the rounds to gain one artifact of choice( Goldbrand, the Ebony mail or fearstruck) End of quest.

[@Biskmut]

Incredible. This is my favorite series on KZbin.

[@HeartOfTheEarth009]

Great work, as always. Really loved the music in this one.

[@UseThatGreyMaterial]

Ahh the Ebony mail... wore it as a dark brother, went on the katariah and stood by the emperor, watching him drown in black poison.... A fitting death.

[@Otterly_luna]

Have been grinding the entire 1st and 2nd seasons today, as I'm sick ^^ thinking about downloading them all and shove them into my phone to listen to as I drive to work xD great job, guys! Really.

[@theULTIMATElife50]

Really would like to see an episode on the Underking.

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

I really, REALLY, want Boethiah to be the "bad guy" in ES6. The Redguards, Orcs, and Bretons could all withdraw from the Empire the same way the Nords did (assuming a Stormcloak victory) and form their own loose coalition. This would inevitably lead to a 3-way war (Daggerfall Covenant + Nords, Aldmeri Dominion, and the remnants of the Empire) that Boethiah could claim to be the grand schemer of, and it's the hero's responsibility to take him down and fix the course of history. This would also mean the locational setting could be in High Rock/Hammerfall and we could have something groundbreaking for an elder scrolls game: naval battles between the Aldmeri Dominion and whatever Breton-led alliance forms from these rebel forces. And to top it off, this could even set the stage for ES7, an Akaviri invasion on the now weakened Tamriel.
