[@saintjiubtheeradicator]

@@marsfreelander5969 of course you wouldn't kill me. You can't even kill me.

[@origulator]

I do love the fact that we know more about what happened to Jiub after Morrowind than we know about what happened to Vivec after Morrowind.

[@tyrant-den884]

Vivec wouldn't have it any other way. Else we might blame him for not getting that rock out of the sky.

[@Sarzuen]

It's because vivec's fate depends on if the player kills him or not. Anything the player can directly affect in a Bethesda game is deliberately avoided, due to player choice, and left vague for player personal interpretation. But Jiub is not, after asking your name, he is essentially voided from existence as soon as you leave the instance. Eliminating the player having any influence over his fate. And for official lore, that's free real estate!

[@Steelface97]

Because Jiub is a historical figure. Vivec is just some self important nerd with a god complex.

[@sporeham1674]

The tribunal has been abandoned, so he's either dead, outcast, or living somewhere far away

Bethesda didn't have to do anything with Jiub. They could have just said all the cliff racers died during the eruption of Red Mountain, but no, they decided to give our first encounter a greater story that can be followed throughout the games to come. That's how you world build.

I've never played Morrowind nor am I sorry familiar with Morrowind lore. Were cliff racers really that bad that eradicating them earned a sainthood?

[@ЕгорГорюшин-ж7в]

@@azathoththe3rd They were notorious among players rather than in-universe, as their aggro range was very high and they tended to swarm you during travel while making ungodly noises. This infamy became a sort of canonized meme post-Morrowind.

[@striker8961]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but Jiub's hero's journey mirrors the players in the elder scrolls. Starts out a prisoner, does amazing things, is recognised for it, passes into legend, disappears from the land of their heroic deeds, winds up in crazy, ambiguous limbo, neither living nor dead. Like how the player characters are removed from history once the events finish.

[@GongchaGongcha]

The nerevarine is canonically in Akavir and it’s confirmed that Sheogorath in Skyrim is the Hero of Kvatch so I don’t think that last point fits

Mjoll the lioness, in Riften, says she used to hunt cliffracers in Morrowind as a youth, implying Jiub didn't exactly exterminate them to extinction but rather cut down the infestation, possibly enough to be considered a sustainable population. Still tough, absolutely a feat worthy of sainthood.

I remember playing morrowind when it first came out and coming up with a head canon that Juib was the real reincarnation of neravar there was just a mix up.

[@Everness1]

What a fascinating little character. I don't remember him at all! Or the whole soul cairn bit... Every now and then I am reminded of how rich the world of elder scrolls is, particularly morrowind, and it makes me want to revisit it again. Thank you for the video!

[@AVerySexuallyDeviantOrange]

Fake fan, forgot about my baby boy saint “fuck these birds, am I right?” jiub

[@totallynuts7595]

You don't remember him in Morrowind because he is absolutely forgettable in that game. I am not sure when and in what form did Bethesda add to his story, but the one thing I remember is that "Saint Jiub the Eradicator" has been nothing more than a bloody meme made canon. It's a joke on how annoying the Cliffracers were, little more.

[@TKsh1]

From a incarcerated minor character that only appears in the first minute to a hero who saves Morrowind from the worst things ever with wings, Jiub was basically an Elder Scrolls protagonist of his own.

[@TheSpencermacdougall]

I experienced his story in reverse. I first met him in Skyrim, then later found his severed head in Kvatch, then played Morrowind only a few years ago.

[@krausercruz2780]

Jiub is a Hero the same way a Fireman is a hero, or a Nurse. Sure killing Cliffracers isnt the "MOST EPIC DRAMATIC WAR EVER FOUGHT" as other heroes tent to do, but he is an epic hero for the people being harrassed by those winged demons. Him being sainted is also fitting, he took time of his life to help the people, dedicate his life to what other Heroes would consider a side quest, or day i say "beneath them".

[@jingalls9142]

I love those few moments of Jiub talking In The beginning of Morrowind. Brings back so very many hours of shenanigans in that wonderful game. I even made a dark elf and named him Jiub once to give him a story/chance to be the Nereverine.

[@Kain1202]

Saint Patrick used the three leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity to the Pagan Irish. The four leaf was just traditionally viewed as good luck by the Irish, and it's association with Saint Patrick is mostly a misconception. Great video, I love this series you're doing. I just figured someone should mention that since he's a real life religious figure.

Honestly, I'd love a Illidan video. He's one of the few characters that I can think of who's genuinely an anti-hero, and his personality is just incredible. There are so many instances that you can point at where it's obvious that what he's doing is not just for saving people, but for his own gain, and it's so refreshing to have a "good" guy who's personality is not just "I want to be as good as possible and make sure nothing bad happens to these innocent people."

[@el-violador]

I usually can't post links so I will just have to explain it. There was an excellent picture posted to the Morrowind Reddit a couple years back of the Doom cover art replacing Doomguy with Jiub and the demons with cliffracers. If I could get that on a shirt I absolutely would

I used to roleplay as Jiub in Morrowind back in the day. So happy to see what hes become today.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

I think there is a villain (antivillain?) you might find interesting. It's Dhaos from Tales of Phantasia. What follows is a spoiler: While at first it seems Dhaos is a regular sealed evil type of space parasite who wipes out entire villages (which you will visit while and after they're wiped out to rub the salt in), and it has a cult army of people who want to use Dhaos for power, the ending is actually bittersweet. Yes, you kill Dhaos, and everything is well (except you go back to rebuild the village burned by his goons and mourn the villagers you saw just before they were mercilessly murdered), you find out Dhaos wanted to steal the mana tree that gives life to the planet not for power but to save his planet, because the mana tree on his planet died. Martell, the goddess of the mana tree, sends a seed of her tree to his planet after Dhais was killed, thus saving his planet. I don't think Dhaos speaks the language of the inhabitants, so he couldn't even tell what he's up to. I think he is a silent villain all throughout the game.

[@evilbob354]

I found his head... In a burnt out shack in kvach. I carried it around my whole play through. Had no Idea it was him.

[@VertietRyper]

If I had to make a request, it would be for Scholar Visari, from Killzone. He is probably the strongest villain (not in terms of physical or magical power) out of any PlayStation-centric game series, to the extent that any games without him are considered worse, and he is only physically present in the same room as your characters for 2 minutes between all 3 games.

[@sojournertaylor6897]

A villainpedia on Handsome Jack would be great. Awesome video as always

[@McKeelix]

I hope in ES6 we have a quest to lead, or at least take part in, a mission to save people from the Soul Cairn so that Jiub and similar folks can be saved and allowed to finally pass on to the parts of Atherius or Oblivion they truly earned in life.

[@tictcha612]

He might be a hero in the eyes of people, and the cliff racer might be annoying, but he still made his legend by eradicating a specie. That don't seem really right to me, maybe a bit too extreme. Nice video as always !

[@placeholdername3818]

If we ever get an official morrowind remake, I hope we can get him as a companion. Maybe players can get an achievement if you kill x amount of Cliff Racers with him as a active follower.

Another thing about the invasion of Kvatch that is a neat fan theory is that you can actually find a severed Dunmer head in one of the destroyed homes in the city. Some fans believe it's Jiub's head. A bit morbid, but it's my personal head-canon. Pun not intended.
