[@ysgramornorris2452]

I think the point is, when a member of the Dark Brotherhood assassinates someone, their soul goes to Sithis; that is, they go to nothing, they stop existing. Whereas if they had died by any other means, their soul would have gone to either Aetherius or a daedric plane. In a sense, the Dark Brotherhood are the only ones able to "truly kill" someone.

[@snugglehyena9171]

Ysgramornorris or so they believe.

[@Kathrynerius]

What about Rufio, who had an angry ghost after being assasinated in Oblivion? Or the family's grave, where their ghosts come out?

[@ysgramornorris2452]

Maybe Sithis chose not to absorb Rufio's soul right away and give it to the PC, so it would serve them in sending even more souls to Sithis. The same thing can be said of Lucien Lachance's spirit that remained after his death; after all, he was killed by his fellow members of the Black Hand, _but_ on a false accusation of treason; so in killing him, the Black Hand weren't doing the work of Sithis, which could explain why he wasn't absorbed into the Void. As for the family, I don't know what family you're referring to. Which is it? The Motierre ancestors?

[@raziel6304]

No, to stop existing one must achieve the concept called "zero-summing" it what's believed to be the cause of the dwemer's disappearance. When they go to the void they're either consumed by nothingness, therefore becoming part of that void, or they are returned to a state of raw creatia.

[@raziel6304]

Keep in mind that not even the DB can confirm they're doing Sithis' bidding, so we can't really say their souls go to the void. Infact their actions fall much closer to Mephala's sphere of influence, therefore the reason why the theory of Mephala being behind the strings of the DB has valid points.

Sithis wants to destroy creation, but to destroy creation he must create. Anu wants to destroy destruction, but to destroy destruction he must destroy. When Sithis kills someone, he is simply sending them to the afterlife, to a new life. When Anu creates life, he is simply creating a creature that will eventually die. When mortals die, their bodies simply become nutrients for the next life form, life forms, who will eventually die themselves. And of course spirits are not immortal in the afterlife, they die and are reborn i.e Sheogorath and Jygalaag. This is why Sithis and Anu are in eternal combat. To create, you must destroy, and to destroy, you must create.

Sithis,is everything and nothing,every time you look into the void you see him,he is the creator of the Aedra (those on the plane of mortals) and the Daedra (those on the plain of Oblivion),he is obviously fond of the Daedra because he hates the Aedra. Look the lore is so deep I mean even the Great Divines and the Daedric Princes. Akatosh,Stendarr,Dibella,Mara,Kynareth,Zenithar,Julianos,Arkay,Clavicus Vile,Sithis,Sheogorath,Maphela,Vivec,Malacath,Hermaeus Mora,Hiricine,Alduin,Talos,Almalexia,Auri EL,Lorkhan,Namira,Vaermina,Trinimac,Boethiah,Jyggalag,and my personal favorite out of them all Molag Bal. And that’s not even all of them. My top three are: 1.Molag Bal (I just love his creepy vibes,loved his quests in Skyrim too.) One of the 17 Daedric Princes 2.Talos (Don’t really need to explain this one,but in case you don’t know in the Elder Scrolls lore he is the God to top all Gods,sorry Akatosh.) One of the 9 Divines,worship or acknowledgement of divinity strictly forbidden by the Imperial Empire. Thank to the Thalmor,pretty much an Elder Scrolls take on terrorists controlling a government. Talos is also the newest,yet oldest,yet youngest,yet most loved,yet most hated of the Divines. 3.Sheogorath (He makes me laugh so hard. Plus I love his personality,his storyline and his quests were my favorites in The Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion) One of the 17 Daedric Princes

[@Aadiyat]

I think you might have misinterpreted the book "Sithis" and Sithis' intentions. I don't think Sithis wants nothing. He wants constant change and evolution. Which makes sense since he is a part of Padomay, the personification of change. Anui-El, and the Aedra oppose this change. They want to hang on to what exists now, because they fear that change would eventually cause them to die. Sithis would want to destroy the stability of the universe that is provided by the Aedra and return the universe to unstable state of constant change.

[@elricengquist9989]

I always wondered if Sithis might have something to do with dragon breaks, as when a dragon break happens Sithis gets so much more potential paths each leading to different futures an changes in them. This also in someways mocks the linear nature of time that was created.

[@muslimcrusader5987]

Which essentially would make Sithis a god of creation while the Aedra, which represent statis, are beings who want to maintain the natural state of the universe which is nothingness.

Hi

[@windhelmguard5295]

i think mundus represents what sithis actually wanted all along. sithis is a force of chaos and teh void, the mortal plain is just that, ever changing, things are created, things are killed, nothing is eternal, not even the living tribunal could escape death forever.

[@Fuar11]

Windhelm Guard I find that the "evil" label we associate with Sithis is very... misconceived.

[@ArchXaether]

Windhelm Guard That's a very good point, but I think it's deeper than that. Sithis ultimately represents the pre-universe before individuality was present. Auri-El or Anu represents order, stability, and consciousness. Later this can be seen as an individuality. That is self awareness that wishes to preserve the self, when In reality, separation of self from everything else Is just an illusion, hence the book stating that they are illusory. Sithis in a twisted sense represents a lifeless neutrality, science and nihilism go hand in hand generally because they are cold. Anu and the light / soul of all things, represent the subjective experience aka life, while in a funny mixed up way Sithis represents unity, or.... formlessness therefore no self awareness. It's actually necessary for form and order and for that matter self awareness to even exist. Ultimately Mundus is a division between both archetypal extremes, so yes It is a cyclical changing realm, but Sithis is not only anti order but also transcends time, which means life and death holds no meaning. Change is more so In the aspect that chaos is roughly infinite energy, energy without consciousness, just an endless purposeless abyss of potential. Anu Is the first to manifest a self awareness, thus It is the first to seek purpose and time Itself is created to allow life, which says a lot about individuality as a whole. Time in general terms Is just cyclical matter.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

i have to agree. sithis does create, but he also destroys. as you say, nothing is eternal. what comes from the void must also return to the void. if you are of the race of man on nirn, you should be giving thanks to sithis for the chance to even exist. those elves that wish to return to the stasis of anui-el should be your enemy.

[@brotherbarbatos8981]

Sithis is probably the most mysterious deity in all of elder scrolls. That’s what makes him so interesting. I hope one day Bethesda makes an Elder Scrolls game where Sithis is the main antagonist.

[@jackblack3718]

Sithis is malevolent, but I'm not sure he's necessarily evil. It's almost like he's just "in charge" of a certain aspect of creation.

[@evhantheinfidel]

Remember that this is coming from a biased Mer-based perspective. They hate Lorkhan, whereas most humans are cool with Shor or Shezzar. All races are descended from both Lorkhan and the Aedra, though, I believe.

[@HelloFutureMe]

Just a really cool sidenote - the Et'Ada who became the Ehlnofey weren't just the beings that became the Aldmer. They became the 'Earthbones' that literally stabilised the very laws of nature allowing other living beings to grow and thrive. Prior to that, it was an unliveable landscape. They embodied gods like Y'ffre, some of them went on to become the Khajiit and, in some myths, they had a lot to do with the origins of the wood elves - distinct from the Aldmer. The Hist also used some of these Ehlnofey to create the first argonians, supposedly, but the Hist are a *completely* different story.

[@MaliciousMollusc]

Does that mean The Last Dragonborn is far more powerful than we thought? Having the representation of Sithis, Lorkhan and Akatosh? Chaos and Order combined?

[@olofjohansson6140]

I think the last Dragonborn is only that; Dragonborn. I do not think that he/she (though I think his canon look is the generic Nord male with the iron helmet) became the leader of all the factions, he only fufiled the profecy, defeated the Volkihar and became the new champion of Hermaeus Mora. But it still is a interersting idea, a hero bringing equilibrium by basically being the champion of Akatosh (as he bestowed men the dragon blood yet he did not, that´s Bethesda fucking up their own lore which they did even more by creating Miraak) and Sithis.

[@MaliciousMollusc]

Ordinary Swede well, he is the incarnation of Shor, but also blessed personally with Akatosh. He is more than just some random prophecy piece.

[@olofjohansson6140]

That's another interesting point; the dragonborns are reincarnations of Shor/Lorkhan/Shezar, yet it is Akatosh, the nemesis of Lorkhan who grants the dragonborn his power. Kynareth bestowed the gift of shouting to men but the Soul of a Dragon is given by Akatosh. I just find it interesting that Akatosh give men a hero to give them more time on Nirn by destroying Alduin, who will end all things.

[@MaliciousMollusc]

Ordinary Swede oh not all Dragonborns are related to Shor, it wasn't ever like that. Being Dragonborn means tied to Akatosh as started by Saint Alessia. That's what makes TLD so special. He's tied to both Akatosh and Shor and in extent, to Sithis which shouldn't be possible. There's also the fact that every Daedra likes him for some reason even with clear ties to the most powerful Aedras, Kynareth and Akatosh... He's like a weird, walking paradox.

Lorkhan wasn't sent by sithis to destroy mundus( like the thalmor want to) he was sent to destroy what the aedra had made for themselves in aetherius. It would make no sense for lorkhan to destroy mundus by making mundus.

[@muslimcrusader5987]

He didn’t make Mundus. Lorkhan tricked the Aedras and Daedras into sacrificing a large chunk of their power into creating Mundus hoping that he could kill them while they were in a weakened state. The only thing Lorkhan made was Sovngarde, Atmora and the Nords.

I find it unlikely that Lorkhan is truly a minion of sithis. Given that when the Dragonborn enters sovengarde, if he presents himself as the listener (a position of high honor in the eyes of sithis) Tsun reacts quite negatively and states that you are unwelcome and that Shor does not know you. This makes the idea that Lorkhan is the servant of Sithis an odd one indeed.

[@AdmiralAwsm]

It's interesting that Sithis is identifiable as the void and a desire to undo creation, but that he then went on to create Lorkhan, who in turn led to more creation. What's really interesting is that Lorkhan is the Nordic god Shor, creator of Nirn and Sovengard. Shor however, is absent from Sovengard when you go there for the main quest. I've read a number of interesting theories on how the Dragonborn is actually an incarnation of Shor, but I have a more interesting theory: the Dragonborn is actually an incarnation of Akatosh. Skyrim as a game has a number of divergent events that could result in multiple histories, and the Dragonborn could be seen as a sort of fixer. He comes in and completely repairs nearly all of the guilds in Skyrim, all of which are on the brink of destruction. Not only that, but the use of saving and reloading could be seen as time manipulation. The Dragonborn can also absorb dragon souls, and all dragons come from Akatosh originally.

I like to imagine the first dragonbreak being visualized as Auriel just kinda chillin', messing around with his completed rubix cube, then drops it and it shatters with him going, "oop oh fuck, oh FUCK OH FUCK OOPS OOOOPS", whilst frantically trying to piece it back together.

[@wishbone346]

Jesus... Sithis is basically the embodiment (or disembodiment) of my greatest fears. How the hell was the Dark Brotherhood my favorite faction for so long? Screw that. I'm destroying those edgelords every playthrough from now on. Who the hell would want to worship something that literally wants you to stop existing? I'd rather be doomed to Mehrunes Dagon's realm for eternity than just disappear forever.

[@blackraptor1154]

wishbone346 You are made of nothing and you are nothing, Sithis will claim you one way or another, be it now on this plane, or millenniums from now.

[@Shrooms-gud4ya]

@@iepineapple Raping by spiky daedra cock is Molag Bals speciality. Bin man Dagon is all about destruction change and revolution. So probably people that go to Menhures plane of existence get destroyed all the time......hmm I think the lack of existence does not seem so bad now O.o

[@awange-bina1168]

How dare you insult our dread papa 😾

[@Scruffy-mj7xy]

Dude your one of KZbin commentator keep it up dude and love your still doing Skyrim tooo Im still playing today.

[@Random_Chiroptera]

Seems Sithis falls into the same Archetype as Nyarlothep of Lovecraft lore.

[@sanghelian]

do you mean azathoth?

[@Random_Chiroptera]

@@sanghelian No, I mean exactly what I say.

[@joeupdog1470]

I love your channel so much Fudge! It’s been an absolute pleasure to listen to. I’ve been subscribed for years and now commenting for the first time. You have such a lovely voice and I’m amazed at the amount of research you put into making these videos. Thank you for all you hard work and commitment to the Elder Scrolls fan community!

[@franktaku9121]

I was literally asking myself this question today while playing Skyrim.

[@vinnyromero9339]

This video was super helpful in understanding the Elder Scrolls lore thanks Fudgemuppet for the great video.

[@LostArchivist]

Such a complex world and mythos, I wonder how many hours have gone into developing it in total.

[@maeves.w.7156]

How nice would it be to have a 'storytime with fudgemuppet', where the guys just read us lore and elder scrolls fiction with a crackling fire in the background...

[@seraphjohanson3402]

I just about died when Padme showed up on my screen asdfghjkl

[@B1rdTheW0rd]

I just spent the last 2 hours delving into the lore as a result of this video, lol. I learned a lot. I love it.

[@ArchXaether]

Everything is connected. Just food for thought, In star wars the Jedi and the Sith are the same concept, you can look in any lore or religion or philosophy and find similar ideas. It's not coincidence. Funny enough, the Jedi (at least the word Itself) was based off of an Ancient Egyptian order of peace protectors and keepers of knowledge.

[@sagacious03]

Neat video! Thanks for uploading!

[@Camooses]

Got a question/idea to run by you. In Mundus, the sun and stars are holes made by Magnus and the Magna Ge. However when you go to Sovngarde, which exists in Aetherius, there are stars in the sky. Do you think its just an error in the design or something more?

[@sketchstevens5859]

Maybe sovngarde is the other side of that hole

[@citizenerased174]

I have joined the Dark Brotherhood in both Oblivion and Skyrim. They are my favorite faction. The whole lore behind the Night Mother and everything involved with them is intersting. Hail Sithis!

[@carminred195]

Gongrats 500K !!!

[@cobaltprime9467]

I think when Sithis created Lorkhan/Shor, he ceased being pure chaos. Being formless would be chaos but having form is order. By becoming Lorkhan he found an order amongst the chaos and adapted the world to it. The universe is chaos but you can bring a sort of order to it. When he created Mundus it was an attempt to create order, bringing form to a formless dimension. But since chaos is a natural state, there would always be chaos. So where he can, he balances it, he created Sovengard so the dead weren’t cast into the void, he intervened at some points in history, sending his own champions to prevent utter doom to Nirn, taking these champions as his own vessels. Because of him, Talos was born, the Empire was founded, and perhaps even the Last Dragonborn was born as his newest vessel (should you believe the that theory). Sithis as the Void still exists, if Lorkhan was made to end the universe, he either decided not to fulfill it, or brought an end to the Aedra way of life through creation. Perhaps this is why Sithis created the Dark Brotherhood, to sow chaos in his son’s precious world.

[@theblackswordsman7558]

What an amazing theory!!! I really do love the lore of Sithis and I believe he deserves more spotlight. Seriously all the games talk about akatosh and never about Sithis

[@thunderstruk033]

The void. The Dread Father. Our true lord, Sithis.

[@thebigbean8783]

It's been a long time that I've been pondering this question

[@mesektet5776]

I took it to be a meta joke, The Night Mother created the worship of Sithis, which is eleven for the concept of nothing, and made her own cult, therefor the Darkbrotherhood literally worship nothing. The Night Mother made a false cult and openly admits to it by making it sound like a edgy nihilism cult but in-fact it is just one giant scam. There is no Sithis, because, by it's very nature, Sithis does not exist.

[@AlecEburhard]

It's worth noting that Lorkhan seems to have deviated from Sithis by creating rather than destroying, meaning Lorkhan rejected Sithis in favor of his own vision. But that's speculation

[@egeorgiades93]

I feel like one of these days, Sithis will be given a Physical Form for some reason.

[@michaeljeffrey4392]

I always love your lore videos, I am just enfatuated with Elder Sceolls lore! Your videos have given me different interpretations than I first thought of! Thank you!

[@draw2death421]

Sithis is All Lord of Darkness! Cicero knows it... i have heard the Voice! It still makes me Crazy... HAHHAHHAHAHAH

[@brennenmyers3367]

Cicero The Jester I always help Cicero get that broken wagon wheel fixed when I come across him at the Lorious Farm, poor guy was just trying to bring his mother to a new home...now if you'll excuse me, I need to go kill Grelod the Kind for that Aventus kid in Windhelm

[@SuperLumianaire]

Cicero The Jester you punk. You were not there when I slaughtered your brethren.

[@clydeyoung4546]

Shut the fuck up you punk

[@draw2death421]

Everyone helps poor cicero and night mother is ciceros frend!

[@billuminaticatcipher7554]

[@nighthawkhuntr6128]

Happy 500000 mate, hopefully we’ll see you double in the future!

[@k.w4065]

Hmm. this is like telling you about the cold of space or TERROR of midnight!

[@harambe8372]

I was just wondering who it was the other day, thank you for this video FudgeMuppet!

[@gemineyeduality764]

Anu-kin and Padomay made the chosen one L'uke Magikawalker.

[@glidershower]

Anu created the dream that Padomai wants you to wake up from and forget.

[@adriansmith2639]

I always found it odd how Sithis/Padomay seemed to embody both change and nothingness, whereas Anu was both stasis yet creation. Even weirder was how Lorkhan kind of circumvented that - the Nords seem to revere Shor as a kind of Nietzschian “I will continue to endure existence” type character, while the elves see him as a destroyer? But a destroyer of the nothingness they prefer? Boy Elder Scrolls is weird. Gotta say, though, if Sithis’ goal is “destroy everthing” then he’s doing a crap job of it. Maybe a giant demon-legion like Dagon’s or Bal’s would be better suited to that than a guild of like 5-100 assassins?

[@andrewcoltzt1563]

Sithis isn't a thinking being like a daedric prince. It's akin to a storm or a tsunami, destroying whatever it comes into contact with through its vessels (TDB).

[@owenskalvalki3057]

Sithis is the god of waking me up at the exact moment fudgemuppet uploads. (It's 3:02am pacific)

[@raid2654]

Soooo, he protec? Or he attac?

[@209u2]

He *SUCC*

[@edenromanov]

He take your soul an never give it bacc!

[@ARCStudiosyt]

Bible Man he DESTROY

[@blackraptor1154]

He V O I D

[@goldenfox334]

But most importantly...

[@basswachter]

Kinda interesting that the book "Sithis" mentions Hermaeus Mora who, according to the loading screens, is also intrinsically shapeless.

[@sanghelian]

yea i kind of thought that would be significant, as hermaeus mora is knowledge of everything and sithis is nothing, so are they linked, in extreme ends of spectrum or just polar opposites

[@justdamo]

Please make a video on Dagoth Ur! There’s nothing good on KZbin about this seriously important character..

[@MrBagel-ov5sb]

justdamo nothing good? You've never heard Dagothwave

[@jasminrennings]

I love this video so much! I watched it at least 3 times now, it's all so well explained - you three are doing so awesome work on this channel :) I'm so happy I can watch your content during my breaks, it always calms me down :)

[@sarahmvaz6772]

Make a Sithis Cultist Build!!

[@BansheeKing22]

Yes. this needs to happen. we've seen the tong assassin build, now we need a dark brotherhood one.

[@MachinaX7]

Isn't that the mage guy in the Brotherhood? Or at least his clothes

[@Seinen-f7i]

I thought technically, the dark brotherhood are cultist of sithis

[@eightflame6930]

Dark brotherhood ancient armor, blade of woe, pearks: sneak 1 handed, light armor, speechcraft. Kill everything and anyone you can get away with. P.s. more fun then it sounds

[@korpifox5445]

Needs to be a ginger since gingers have no souls

[@ironreeve9370]

With the ESO, we know that those assassinated by the Blade of Woe have their souls sent immediately to the Void, and have seen both a manifestation of Sithis in the form of a wraith and raw Void energy in the form of the Dark Heart in the Arkthzand Caverns of Blackreach under Skyrim

[@adamxei9073]

Sithis: I just want some peace and quiet.

[@cashthecurator666]

The Dark Brotherhood: Hail Sithis! Sithis: Hail me. "Rolls eyes" At least have Cicero dance for me, he's fun.

[@BreadApologist]

I always thought Sithis was just a bunch of ducks glued together in the shape of a robot.

[@CombtSportKing]

HAIL SITHIS!!

[@patrickhannon4217]

I get that this is the idea, but it's quite interesting the similarities between the creation of the Universe and the creation of the Elder Scrolls Universe. Basically, Sithis is Dark Energy, trying to stretch out our own Universe

[@DStrormer]

Oh, do Sotha Sil next.

[@Traphousemedia]

I think you are missing what the book of sithis is saying an who or what sithis is completely. Sithis is not anti creation. He is creation. He is not only chaos but change. His function is change the void into something. Thus he is creation but he can only do so when euriel(the God of order)does its function an revert the chaos back to nothing. But euriel does not want to return to nothing an trys to remove its self from the cycle of death by creating auriel(time). So sithis creates lorkhan. An lorkhan tricks auriel into giving up his immortality by using his desire to create against him an eventually returning him an everything to the void . Thus causing them to switch functions but completing the cycle

[@bangazofficial3025]

if the thalmor believe destroying most things will give them immortality i would believe they are mistaken because if they destroy mundus or whatever the mortal plane is called that means there will be be less something and more nothing if that makes sense, so if there is more nothing wouldnt sithis have more power and be able to create another lorkhan even more powerfull scince so many et ada i think they are called died in the cretion of mundus and thats where all of lorkhan went aswell that means the thalmor would send everything to sithis in destroying the mortal realm in saying all that i believe sithis could make a lorkhan 2.0 with a ton of power all of akatoshs and alduins every fucking mortal except a few glowing yellow bois. hey cheers if you read all that man im huge fan been playing skyrim scince 2011 still watch your videos man

[@goliathxanatos706]

Sithis is Oblivion from Marvel Lorkhan is Chaos King from Marvel Lorkhan was birthed from Sithis Chaos King was birthed from Oblivion Lorkhan tried to destroy the multiverse and everything in Elder Scrolls. Chaos King tried to destroy the multiverse and everything in Marvel. Lorkhan was stopped but not destroyed and had to be sealed away. Chaos King was stopped but not destroyed and had to be sealed away. Lorkhan is just a fraction of Sithis true might and power. Chaos King is just a fraction of Oblivion’s true might and power. I wonder if these details were intentional or just a coincidental happenstance? Cause both Sithis and Oblivion are incredibly alike. Maybe they are the same being but in different continuities.

[@dragonrykr]

All hail LORKHAN!
