Portal to the Shivering Isles is an interesting one. There is dialogue in the DLC about that. When asking Haskill about the door he replies: _"Because my Lord wills it to be so. It poses no danger to Mundus; no compact has been violated. It is a doorway, an invitation. Perhaps you will accept it for what it is."_ As I understand it, this implies that gateways between Mundus and Oblivion can be opened if there is no hostile intent, nor any intentions of its in habitats from Oblivion to move to Mundus. Or in simpler terms, if the gateway can only be used by Mortals, and only if they are not forced to use it. Due to how strange the rules of Gods can be, let alone the laws of the Mundus, I actually believe its plausible to create a stable gateway in this manner. Especially considering Sheogorath's story's are always about showing how in his madness, he finds loopholes to rules that nobody else can see or even use.

"Anumidium Models" might be a reference to the weird, massive skeletons you can see buried in the walls of the long tunnel you fall down when you enter Kagrenzel in Skyrim (they're easiest to see on the mini map), which have been postulated to be models of the Numidium that Kagranac made while developing the Brass God. The fact that there are a row of arches on the main building heading toward Morrowind supports a strong connection to Morrowind for that particular Dwemmer ruin.

The Serpent constellation. A theory I've heard is that its Un-stars formed by the Hist breaking through into mudnus after creation, and the constellation travels around taking the place of other constellation and stealing souls for the Hist.

[@jefthereaper]

"Infinitely large planetoids" is a reference to how other dimensions/worlds work. The Daedric realms are said to be infinite in size. Its assumed that the Aedric realms/8 divine realms are also infinite in size. However they can be seen when watching towards the sky from Nirn. But due to the mortal mind being unable to understand the concept of an "infinite" world, all they really see is a sphere in the night sky. I've been rattling my brain over that one for years now. I mean what would the sky look like to a divine being? If all realms, including Oblivion and the void itself are infinite, then logically speaking they should be seeing all realms, all at the same time while looking at the sky. Even though they should be overlapping each-other so only one would be visible, somehow they should be able to see them all at the same time, everywhere.

[@memeshort7189]

In mathematics their are different values of infinity And several infinity can exist at once Space is infinitely large But things are also able to be infinitely small

[@JP-my7fu]

@@memeshort7189 infinetely small is harder to imagine than infinitely large imo

[@jefthereaper]

@@memeshort7189 True, but Daedric realms have been visited, and have been shown to truly be infinite in size. Along with that, there is also the thing that took me many MANY years to accept. Our world's logic, mathematics, natural laws and all that don't apply to the Elder Scrolls universe. It has its own set of rules build upon the will of great spirits that gave their lives to sustain these "laws". Quote from a book in Tes: _"The planets are the gods and the planes of the gods, which is the same thing. That they appear as spherical heavenly bodies is a visual phenomena caused by mortal mental stress. Since each plane(t) is an infinite mass of infinite size, as yet surrounded by the Void of Oblivion, the mortal eye registers them as bubbles within a space. _*_Planets are magical and impossible."_* It was quite literally written as an impossible, paradoxical concept that even we as mortals here in reality cannot comprehend, calculate or rationalize.

[@memeshort7189]

@@jefthereaper oh I know it says that but I've never liked that interpretation I don't think the gods are as powerful as they say there is no evidence that they are

[@manhattanvalleyofthedead2425]

I've wondered the same thing, but with Daedra. So mortals see an empty black sky where the realms of Oblivion are and sphere are the divines - both being infinite in reality but limited in mortal perception. So if you summon a Dremora at night and he looks up at the sky, what does he see? He will see all the planes of Oblivion, which he will also see as infinite, and the bodies of the divines, which he will also see as infinite.

Regarding the "ankhs" entry, it's just about the fact that Daggerfall and Redguard had some ankhs in the Hammerfell sceneries and mentioned in book descriptions, so there's the theory that they're representative of one of the Yokudan deities (or maybe a forgotten one), but most likely just stems from the more generic approach the early games had to fantasy.

Wayrest painting secret message: Painting the Truth is a main quest in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. Queen Akorithi desires a painting hidden within Castle Wayrest. Upon retrieving the painting, the following message is displayed: The scene in the painting shifts and twists. You can clearly see the inside of a tent. Several men in the livery of Wayrest are intensely debating with a man bearing the coat of arms of Daggerfall. One of the Wayrest men slips behind the Daggerfall man, draws a dagger and casually slides it between his ribs. The image fades as the life ebbs from his body.

[@Fathoms09]

There's a pretty solid foundation of symbology within the Elder Scrolls series. I think the lore is able to get away with a lot due to that, as well as the sheer density of content throughout the games.

[@Galimeer5]

Regarding the Great Collapse, the idea is that the conclusion of the College of Winterhold questline would result in the Great Collapse (like the player would destroy the Eye and the explosion would annihilate Winterhold or something like that). But, that storyline was too ambitious for Bethesda's ability and/or release date, so it became more cut content. Why Bethesda decided to keep the idea of the Great Collapse even though the explosion that was supposed to cause it was cut from the game is beyond me.

[@johnnygyro2295]

Hold up. *We* were supposed to be the cause of the Great Collapse?! Not sure how to feel about that...

The Bosmer being part human could also be a reference to the “manish wives” line. I have interpreted it as the Bosmer being kind of like reverse Bretons.

[@bigch33se11]

The temple withholding vampire cure is a reference to how the book series talking about vampires has a fourth novel. The fourth is the only one that is banned and is the one that talks about curing Vampirism in its entirety. Also the whole point of Legends is that it's a *legend*. The forgotten hero and the titus mede being absent is a literal campfire story without any proof Karthwasten Massacre was a cut town that was in the lore/maps before the game Skyrim. Little information about it exists outside the peace meeting quote. Implying there was supposed to be more about it ingame with a ruin or survivors to hammer in the Nord nationalist thing being a very ugly thing outside "muh talos worship" Giant mudcrab also might refer to the one you hunt down during the Kyne's Trials, implying there are more out there. Or the Skar, the giant crustacean that the Redoran carved out and made their HQ in. And in fact brought back from the dead to fight the Argonians during their invasion. The secret tunnels refer to multiple things, of which you mentioned but also the starting dungeon in Arena. It's just a fan theory about how *many are actually under there. And what the hell did the Ayleids put down there*.

[@Countcordeaux]

CODA. I also do think that Fallout and Elder Scrolls could be easily connected through CHIM / Amaranth. "Creating a new world" is just playing another game, and our own real universe is one such game. Elder Scrolls characters are unique in that those who achieve CHIM are conscious of the fact that they are video game characters and accept that fact. They have realized the truth of their own Matrix and may even be aware of the world of their creators.

[@Countcordeaux]

ES lore is a clear case of the creation going beyond the intentions of its creators, both in-lore and in real life. It's no stretch for me to imagine that Daedric worship is a legitimate real-life form of religious practice, as Elder Scrolls cosmology is more metaphysically consistent than the majority of real-world religions.

The real bottom of the iceberg: 1) The Dwemer are stuck in a causal time loop, continually teleporting their species back in time to Tamriel when they tap into Lorkhan's heart, just after Lorkhan's was torn asunder. This explains their existence on Tamriel prior to Topal's survey. 2) The Snow Elves didn't kill the Atmorans. They originally befriended them, but the Atmorans were split when they saw the Eye of Magnus. Ysgramor coveted power and slew the other Atmorans before attemption to gaining control of the Eye and before the Snow Elves could rally to the sides of those who stood against Ysgramor. Those Atmorans who were left behind fled to High Rock, eventually being enslaved by the Aldmeri some generations later. There were believed to be men, they called themselved Nordic, so of course they were called Nedic. Eventually, they would become the Bretons. Unfortunately for the Snow Elves, Ysgramor's people won the war in Atmora and he was able to rally them with his deceit and returned with the Companions for "vengeance." It was only then that the Snow Elves fled underground to the Dwemer, who chose to allow them to stay, as long as they could not see the Dwemer secrets (imagine how much more advanced they were if their tonal magic went through two, three, or a hundred cycles of the time loop). 3) The Sleeping Tree isn't a magical tree from a flying continent. It's Harold.

The "Alessian Year" is an attempt by Fal Droon to discredit the notion of a Dragon Break, in his book "The Dragon Break Reexamined". Basically, the dates from the Alessian Order don't necessarily add up. The consensus (supported by historical accounts from all factions present at the time) is that the Marukhati Selective attempted to change the nature of Akatosh and caused a dragon break called the "Middle Dawn". Fal Droon insists, with no supporting evidence provided to the player so far, that the discrepancy in timelines is because the Alessian Order didn't measure their years by the Sun or the Stars or the Moons like normal people, but "the length of the long vision-trances undertaken by the High Priestess, which might last anywhere from a few weeks to several months." Given that the Middle Dawn is the only dragon break observed universally (by the fall of eight stars), it's odd that he spends so much effort attempting to debunk it. It's also amusing that his book, obviously written after the fall of the Septim Empire, appears in Morrowind and Oblivion, times when the Septim Empire was perfectly fine. It seems his very work may have been caught up in a Break. Either that or he has spectacular powers of prophecy.

[@luckyjedi429]

Regarding the Shivering Isles door in the Niben, I think Sheogorath or Haskill says that it doesn’t violate the Dragonborn Covenant because there’s no invasion. He’s just allowing people easier access to his realm. Side note: I find it interesting that the Hero of Kvatch would mantle the Mad God, presumably after doing Knights of the Nine, because Pelinal was batshit insane, too.

In the book Lusty Argonian Maid, an Oral Tradition, it states that the tale was originally created by khajiit bard named Tale-Singer, and several other cultures across Tamriel had their own versions. It's pronounced Reekling, due to Nord Etymology being very similar to real world germanic/slavic etymology, "ie" will make a long-E sound while "ei" makes the long-I sound of pronouncing it like rykling There is an concept art of a map of Morrowind that marks a city marker on it labeled "Sotha Sil" along the southern border, west of Tear. I do also remember seeing a map of Black Marsh, although this one may be unofficial, that had a small part of Morrowind on it. Marked in the same location that would line up with the concept art, was a marker for a city labeled "Sotha Sil." There are a few depictions of Kynareth with an ankh.

Drew I love how well you just listened and only put in when you thought it was needed/ had something to add Micheal I really enjoyed how you checked your information so you weren’t mis-quoting. Man that beard is coming out great! Scott, I feel you set the tone for how the podcast continues going forward is just Vonderbar (I know it’s not spelt right, im trying to say it in phonetics) you just constantly want to explore more BUT!!!!!! Can we please get the 36 lessons of Vivec!?!! You say this one was long, can’t wait for that one! 🤣

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

What do you think the Fur Armor in Vvardenfel is made from if not Khajiit? I dont remember seeing any other fur bearing mammals on that ash blasted island.

[@Lcgx]

great! thank you for making my day by uploading the podcast!

I think the infinitely large planetoid is a reference to the fact that the aedric plane(t)s are "infinite" planes of the divine taking a spherical (so the planets) shape in the sky for some reason, just as the daedric planes are infinite

[@Stuffman1861]

I think Camelworks did a video on the 7000 steps as an april fools video. If i recall correct, he counted 777 steps.

[@Stuffman1861]

@Wirr Ling That sounds like exactly what an elf would say

[@keithprice4711]

Your correct, I remember watching that video, 777 I do believe yes

[@rayrayray7494]

underground falmor colonies might be refering to the fact that we are told the forgoten vale is alot alot bigger then what we can explore in skyrim because of collapses and stuff made those parts of the vale unaccessible from the skyrim players point of view if they were referring to uncorrupted falmer it would say snow elves

[@LightSpeed-wo8ys]

Your video's are everything please keep making more!!!

[@LetsGetDerpy]

Is that a picture of the Savior's Hide?

[@wesleysmith5275]

Fun Fact: Fort Sutch in Oblivion had a silent quest tied along with it where the Imperial legion leads a small force against a nearby oblivion gate. The player can join up and if you follow the direction of the commander fight a few waves of enemies that come from the gate and then are asked to enter and close the gate. Afterward the quest wraps up with the Imperials thanking you and the remaining troops go back and guard the fort.

[@maxrander0101]

the tunnels under the white gold tower are also sort of mentioned in the oblivion thieves guild as how they get to every part of the city even the palace

[@chemputer]

1:36:00 if you activate the painting (i.e. use it) it tells you what you see when you look at the painting, and it goes into some pretty big details. The queen asks if you looked at it, if you say yes, she's pissed, if you say no (even if you lie) she's happy. AFAIK it doesn't really matter either way.

[@austincorreia53]

Amazing episode as always! Man that bit at the end had me dying!

[@loveheartBOMB]

they unravelled too many TES secrets. bethesda hired a squad to rappel down Michael's building, break through his window and lock him up for intense lorebreaking.

[@neuxell]

i love how when u guys do interrupt each other, its at points where the rest of the interrupted sentence can pretty easily be accurately presumed and it's always only to continue the conversation

[@ludicrousfunone5705]

44:41. Camelworks did a 3 hour video about the Augur of Dunlain. Where he even finds the character model for this entity we meet. Looks like he's half Hag raven!!! Incredible

[@Khaotic_Karibo]

Man, even as a HARDCORE Elder Scrolls fan such as myself their is always something to learn and I appreciate that!

[@slurmsmckenzie1390]

Great content as always guys!

[@OluapPlayer]

Yes, I've been waiting so long for someone to tackle the iceberg.

[@isaacfullerton]

59:20 I feel like this is alluding to leveling up, meditating on what you've learned is a sort of self-reflection. Or maybe it's got something to do with reflecting spells with an on self spell, but I doubt that. Edit: I watched for like 5 more seconds and michael made the same dumb joke as me lol

[@dave1317]

The best part about tes is that everyone plays different games at different speeds & levels of completion to the point were you almost create your own version of the game in your head as you go. Playing eso and being able to go to all the historic places and having so much content available is insane. For example The imperial sewers is way different in my head because the version in eso is not like oblivion at all. I can visit the psijic order collect artifacts for their museum or visit my psijic manor. Love your videos they really help flesh out such a amazing game series

[@batcityunderground4031]

The "Wasabi Trade" section made me laugh so hard. Great episode.

[@ludicrousfunone5705]

1:38:24. I believe The yokudan Chronology is a reference to them.being from a previous Kalpa Cycle same as the Left Handed Elves!!! Is just a theory though.

[@billygrider24]

I'm really excited for the next part

[@Mary_Beth_Reimer]

Talk about putting you guys on the spot, lol! It's amazing how much you actually know! 😁👍

[@krulltheskull]

Question about Rorikstead. When you pick up the document that details holds in Skyrim from Dragonsreach, with the Delphine/Farengar conversation, it mentions 'Roriksteading', but it's mentioning a time over a thousand years ago, if I'm not wrong. What's up with that?

[@Gh0StF1sHy]

Prototype Extra- Liminal Interstitial Nirnian Assault Lattice

[@denisfreiarm3455]

I have been waiting for this man

[@idisappointmydad3115]

Have y’all talked about young scrolls any yet? Lol I’ve been missing out a lot recently and been on a kick of his music and lore wise it’s pretty nicely put together

[@adamthompson6669]

Another awesome pod cast thank you sooooo much Lore 🤴 kings 👑 😀 👍 🇦🇺 . Learning a lot and having fun and also my elder scrolls addiction keeps getting fed. I was in silver blood inn with Lydia on Valentine’s Day 😜 had some Nord mead 🙃. Spent the day adventuring 🙃. Keep it up also hope maybe Lord Camel 🐪 can do a podcast one day please 😜 thank you 😊

[@elblah9721]

I saw videos from half a decade ago, & thought I would have unsubscribed if I hadn't heard your more modern videos. Listening to your videos closer to the present, particularly this one, I'm grateful I was exposed to your videos more recently. You guys are awesome.

[@Skill5able]

"Infinitely Large Planetoids" refers to the Cosnology text on TIL, talking about the plane(t)s of the eight core spirits of the Aedra.

[@darrenlopez108]

The ankh might be referring to the use of the symbol in temples in Elder Scrolls: Arena.

[@bargun5889]

Me 1 second ago: I need to go to be its 1 am and I have school tomorrow Also me: So an hour and a half aye? not that much.

[@akashchakraborty4083]

I was late for a Valentine's Day date because I was sitting through this. Well done boys

[@bubbahblack1831]

How likely is it that Dervenin, Sheagorath's questgiver from Skyrim, is really the adoring fan from Oblivion?

[@callmecalvin7297]

Y'all are some legends for even attempting this list 😂

[@WhiteNegative]

Moths often paired with the moon, the moon gets its light from the sun, moths have compound eyes to view ultraviolet waves. It could go deeper than just compund eyes

[@josephhetzenauer1890]

I did some digging and best thing for the Ankh is the holy symbol for Sethiete. @FudgeMuppet
