The Elves You Didn't See in Skyrim - The Unexplained Mystery of the Maormer - Elder Scrolls Lore

[@Dham_Pyra]

If you guys are curious, there is a side lands mod project that has associations with Beyond Skyrim called Nirn Uncharted. Each team is making a place outside of Tamriel (not akavir) like Pyandonea, Esroniet, Systres and Pankor, and Alinor (alinor is currently on Hiatus). While the projects are still on their 2D and early 3D phases, I still want to send the word out.

IMO, Elnofey are shapeless animal spirits that were formed to Elves. Hence why Khajiit and Bosmer came from the same spirit type of south-west Tamriel and why someone might think Khajiit came from "elf stock" but, technically the khajiit were created before bosmer were even pointy eared people because they became elves AFTER Yffre was gifted the ability to give them a permanent shape from Nirni as she was convinced that Azura tricked her by making the Khajiit from her "children".

Looking at the timestamps, you mention a “weird theory” and later “Satakal.” Are you suggesting the Maomer were the left handed elves and they’re “slightly under water” nation is actually the sunken nation?

[@LilFeralGangrel]

i wonder if they're related? perhaps descendants of the lefthanded elves that fled from Yokudan might and genocide. Not too dissimilar from the Falmer and the Nords, yes?

[@spider-spectre]

tbh, I've thought this from the "sea elves" inception. It fits perfectly, I mean what other Mer fits perfectly with the islander, coastal, pirate theme, being the elf opposition to the redguard, than the Maomer that were added in ESO? The alternative is that the left handed are all dead and these are completely different but, we know bethesda/elder scrolls writing is full of combacks and returns. They even already have an explanation for not being in other games but, possibly existing in present times. The way Maomer are written seems to have full intentions that they are a lost group of Elves from the sea, which fits into Yokudan and also gives an Atlantis feel, which I can see Beth doing for the elves, an advanced ancient society in the water.

Very interesting take on Satakal. I can see it being a lost piece of mythology. If the Maomer helped the Yokudans and learn of the sea to leave the island and their destruction. When a race makes exodus, a lot of their history and culture get left behind. Hammerfell is one of the most political provinces of Tamriel.

I remember reading a non- canon book called "Raid on Pyandonea" in the SHOTN mod for Morrowind. It has an interesting interpretation: King Orgnum is, in fact, a title - he gets killed near the beginning, and a new one rises up and takes the mantle. Orgnum also appears to be able to transform into a serpent and use his Sight the same way the Nords use Voice to manipulate the rules of nature.

[@more17]

I'd love to see the Maormer as a playable race in TESVI. I feel like in general they and the Reachmen (if Bethesda really decided to emphasize them as their own people) would be the easiest for playable race expansions. Also, is that thumbnail a modded Skyrim armor? It looks awesome!

[@FyrsaVT]

ESO has done a great job of emphasising Reach culture, and that the Forsworn of Skyrim are merely the sole survivors of Ulfric's crusade. Seeing how the surviving clans west of the mountains interact with Bretons is an interesting prospect. Perhaps I'm setting my hopes too high, but new playable races would definitely draw people back into the series. Maormer seem less likely, though they are known to scout the more southern parts of the region. Them taking advantage of the Thalmor-Alik'r conflict to gain a foothold on Tamriel could be a fun concept. My personal favourite, though unlikely a playable race, would be to see a more developed Falmer culture, expanding westward from the Forgotten Vale.

[@Unidentified_Entity6]

it wouldn't make sense to play as a Sea Elf, and Reachmen are basically Bretons with a different culture it would be cool if you could say you are a reachman in dialogue or something

The Dwemer and the Atmorans had the most to gain with the Falmer gone and look at what happened to the snow elves at the hands of the Dwemer. I think either the Dwemer sacked Sarthaal or they tricked the Falmer and were still to blame.

The theory of Satakal being a corrupt memory of Orgnum from the period before the Ehlnofey War is a very fascinating one which I had not heard before, by the way. Very interesting speculation, even if the lack of additional texts to help build up a proper foundation for it makes it a bit tenuous.

[@symbiotesoda1148]

The Maormer really should be playable in 6. The last time we got new playable races was the orcs and Imperials, and that was all the way back in TES 3. Making them a playable race would simply offer so many new character opportunities, as well as developers a chance to explore how NPCs would react to a PC that is wholly alien.

[@Janoha17]

What mod did you use for the non-ESO Maormer? Lost Races of Aetherius adds playable Maormer, along with Falmer, Dwemer, Ayleid, and Tsaesci. And the Maormer would be exactly the sort of wild card to undermine the Thalmor's attempts to conquer Tamriel. The Empire may be crumbling, but only a fool fights a war on two fronts. There could even be a plot/quest about finding and returning King Orgnum's Coffer so he can take on the Thalmor with his fleet directly (and the Thalmor are at a disadvantage due to not having either the Psijics or the Empire to help against the Maormer fleets)

[@gabriellaburke6915]

Interestingly enough, the cult of Diagna originated in Yokuda during the "Twenty Seven Snake Folk Slaughter". Diagna was also said to be the deity that was instrumental in the Redguards war and eventual victory over the Left Handed Elves and looking at how close Yokuda was to Pyandonea I doubt those "snake folk" were Tsaesci which leaves the Moamer being the race that fits that description of "snake folk" the most. So I do think its is likely that the Left Handed Elves were a offshoot of Moamer.

[@DelinquentChibi]

The Left Handed Elves supposed came from the previous Kalpa with the Yokudans, so perhaps they were a previous incarnation?

[@gabriellaburke6915]

What I'm wondering is how well serpent magic works on other reptiles. It would be quite a shock if the Maormer were to suddenly attempt to control Argonians or the like. The only issues I can think of that would make this more difficult would be the fact that Argonians are likely more intelligent than the sea serpents the Maormer regularly manipulate, thus making them more difficult to control, and the fact that the Hist already has a strong influence over the minds of the Argonians. Regardless, this does not seem like it would be the most absurd thing for the Maormer to attempt, given their great understanding of magic

[@d-pod_L]

I was thinking if their snake magic works on tsaesci

[@platinumgame3048]

Interesting point, but I think what would make it harder for the pandoneans is the argonians' link with the hist tree which acts sort of like a hivemind. I wonder which one is stronger, the hist influence or Orgnum's magic

If Orgnum gets younger with time doesn't that mean that eventually he will become child and thus less powerful, than he used to be? Perhaps his best chance to defeat Altmer was early on, when he was old and wise.

[@thalmoragent9344]

Not gonna lie, if the Thalmor could, even if just for a moment, look past the prejudice (difficult to say the least), they would be wise to ally with the Maormer, just as they did in the 2nd Aldmeri Dominion, in order to bring an end to the Empire. It wasn't just Altmer, but also Maormer fleets that were decimated when the Numidium came and created a devastating cataclysmic event upon the Summerset Isles, and many Pyandonean ships were likely lost in the defense of Summerset's shores. If the Altmer could focus most of its power in its land assault, and let the Maormer handle the Fleet movements accordingly, they'd be able to give the Empire hell.

[@idipped2521]

To be honest I don’t see it, maybe as the biggest DLC for TES VI it would make sense but the Thalmor situation needs to be resolved. What I think they’re going to do in TES VI is let you chose any side you want, even an independent high rock/hammerfell but the canon ending will be that the Thalmor and Empire both lose at the same time. The reason being is that this current empire is essentially destined to fail and the Thalmor are not built to last either since they look down on their Khajiiti and Bosmeri allies. What I think is going to happen is that the canon ending will be basically that of the battle of glenumbria moors. The dominion is utterly crushed in the final battle but the empire loses so many troops that it was basically a Pyrrhic victory and their military utterly collapses. This would not immediately reflect in the game, and the main general of the empire similar to a general tullius type of character would say “we lost countless men but the dominion threat is null, we have some rebuilding to do” that never gets done and the canon result is an independent hammerfell, balfiera, high rock, and orsinium with Bretons, Direnni, Orcs, Reachmen, etc all sharing power until a new empire arises. In TES VI we should get a spinoff made by Bethesda themselves in the early eras to hold us over until TES VII which will be Todd’s last game

[@CeleriaRosencroix]

You know, listening to the Storm Magic section made something occur to me: It seems like it might be the case that the Maormer have some sort of interaction and possibly trade relation with the people of Akavir. In particular, I would guess that they probably have some sort of kindred relationship with the Saesci, and if I'm being honest, I think that would actually go a long way to explaining the failure of the invasion by Uriel Septim V against that people's lands. The unexplained, shocking changes to the weather that the snake men of Akavir greatly benefited from could be pretty easily answered by the Saesci having learned to do so via cultural exchange with the Maormer over time. That campaign seems to have seen weather manipulation occurring in a slightly different way than the people of Pyandonea tend to use it, but that makes some sense insofar as Akavir is a place which presumably has far more land territory than the Maormer's home; thus leading to innovations the sea elves wouldn't naturally come to, themselves.

​imagine an alternate timeline where Redguards (game) didn't suck and the Adventure series survived alongside the main series till this day. Hell, even a novel like The Infernal City every couple years would be deeply appreciated.

[@idipped2521]

@@Henrex2000 Redguard sucking was just another excuse for Bethesda to be lazy and not venture out further. Whenever somebody asks why they don’t do more with the franchise and it’s sitting in a corner collecting dust, it’s “BUT MUH REDGUARD”. I’m not going to be making any excuses for Bethesda anymore and I’m sick of their laziness and people dicksucking making excuses for them saying they shouldn’t create spin-offs cuz a game that came out 25 years ago sucked

I've heard enough BGS criticism to last a lifetime and have plenty of my own. This is a lore and theory crafting channel, focusing on what they have to work with and creating great videos that immerse you in the lore and world of ES. I'm sure they do have their complaints but that's obviously not the kind of content they want to create. We all know BGS could be doing better, it is discussed ad nauseum. I personally don't see the point in talking about it though in the middle of a lore video. There's other places for that and it's not like the negativity is what's keeping the community alive. Really it sounds like you just want your complaints parroted back to you to get some kind of validation.

Oof... 27:47 mark and my immersion in the Lore being told to me is Shattered by horrible clipping on the armor over those arms 😂

No matter how great their shipwrights and captains may be. No matter how many sailors souls by their sea-serpents are set free. Always remember; they may be fearsome on the swan-road as they are on grounds fair. but they were sorely humiliated by that one olympian swimmer and swordstress bos-mer.

[@chrismarple]

It is a terrible tragedy that they have not been in a elder scrolls game yet. They need to be in es6 in some capacity.

[@bomchacalaca0]

Hot take: The "pure falmers" are actually aldmers And the "monstrified falmers" are the real snow elves with it's adaptation rushed by the dwemers. And the wispmother is the original form of the mer, so the dwemer were actually experimenting with rushing and reverting elven evolution with the powers of tonal magic and the heart of lorkhan.

[@Oswaltthegreat]

I hope one day they can go back to making fallout and Skyrim builds again

[@daxota_6750]

I hope this community gives the Developers at Bethesda some ideas for the elder scrolls 6

[@garyodonnell7111]

You said in another video that the khajiit may be a type of elf. Would that mean they are meowmer?

[@texo456]

I see fudgemuppet, I click. Simple as. Who else is getting prepared for lore they're gonna completely retcon is ES6😂

[@angryvaultguy]

Imagine during the second great the maomer invade alinor when most of the dominion is pre occupied with the war

[@spider-spectre]

26:26 Black Mesa in Hammerfell? lol

[@Jackie_Shriek]

My favorite race!

[@rememberthefallen1970]

What armor mod is that? You've made me want to create a Sea Elf build

[@requiem9167]

Will you guys be playing the new baldurs gate? Seems up your alley

[@captaincokecan]

Do the sea elves sell sea shells at the seashore?

[@danbauer3669]

Yeah. Obviously. How else are they going to make an honest living?

[@MeSoTrashed]

The Muppets of Fudge speaks it into existence.

[@GalaxyXLII]

Hey brothers this is totally unrelated to elder scrolls but on a Fallout topic. I know it's been years and not sure if anyone may still play fallout 3 and NV (maybe so) but would yall be able to do some newer builds for FO3 & NV and/or lore based content, me and some of the other people who watch your videos would love to see some of that. There's no FO3 builds on YT, so maybe yall could get the engine going possibly. Love your work brothers keep fighting the good fight.

[@DehydratedDiety]

I built a high elf that has a vindetta against the sea elves for killing her 2 elder brothers. She uses fire and light to boil and burn their influemce away from Alinor.

[@AnthonyVwicker]

If they add saling to tes 6 a saling skill would fit a sea elf race well

[@Airagon_]

Can you guys do a video on how developing up works in lore? Like I understand more magic means more spells or higher spells, and high skill means better attacks with a weapon. But how does health actually work?

[@moskaumaster1594]

It doesnt its just purely gameplay mechanics.

[@Airagon_]

@@moskaumaster1594 I guess. But does stamina represent how long one can fight and run like runners stamina? Makes sense as muscles gets stronger and people train as athletes or soldiers. More magic makes as one gets better they learn skill and efficiency with costs and more powerful sorcerers usually have more magic so it makes sense. I understand if health is just a mechanic but in some cases the trailers for eso makes it seem like the case.

[@moskaumaster1594]

@@Airagon_ It would represent the fact that in stories and legends heroes are rarely killed by just a random arrow going into their ribs. Its a hold over from older RPG systems and does not represent anything.

[@ogrejoe8862]

Unrelated to the video but I had a question. What's your take on argonian Dragonborns? Do you think akatosh would bestow this gift upon a race that does not worship him or was not created by him?

[@moskaumaster1594]

I mean Akatosh didnt create Nords either, we actually dont know what Akatosh's opinion is on the different races of Tamriel

[@robertschulte611]

Have you guys made a Maormer build yet?

[@Grimkeeper17]

Unrelated but I was checking out theology and there is the concept Ariel/Auriel which means something similar to sons of lions... i wonder if auriel could be the true father/progenitor of the kajhit.
