Oblivion's REMOVED and LOST City: Sutch - Lore, History and Ruins EXPLAINED

[@DarkLOREDash]

Sutch a disappointment it is gone. Great vid!

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! I’ve been watching your content for awhile now! Huge inspiration for the channel!

[@paladinkhan]

[@christianalexandermarion]

the fact this was made 4 days ago in 2023 brings a tear to the eye 🥲 a happy tear. The legacy of a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your findings.

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! I’m here for the lore and the analyses on this wonderful game! Even after 17 years!

[@JGCO115]

Not too long ago I found out Skyrim had a cut town in the Falkreath Hold called "Granite Hill" it was cut but it's still mentioned between Jarl Sinding and his stewardess Nenya. It must have been cut late in development cause the area where it was supposed to be is now a dragon burial mound, but the ingame local map still calls it granite hill.

[@HansWurst1569]

I think when Todd mentioned the 9 mayor cities they didnt count Kvatch, as it was always going to be destroyed. And there was no or never has been found any cut content around Kvatch. But maybe I’m missing something.

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s the leading theory I’ve been reading so far as well! They certainly left minimal bread crumbs of Sutch around the game, it’s mostly the E3 Demo that has everyone wondering where it went!

[@ImperialKnowledge]

You are going to love this, I recently had the opportunity to play an early build of the ESO chapter (Gold Road) and I tried to make my way to fort Sutch. And guess what. There is a town there! I immediately thought of this video as I found it hah!

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s so awesome! I hope it was everything that was promised for oblivion! 😂 how was the early play through?

[@ImperialKnowledge]

@@ABardsBallad They only allowed around 30 minutes of playtime, half of it was spent in Skingrad and the other half I spent sprinting across the land to see if Sutch was a place. I didnt really manage to get anything tangible other than that Skingrad looks interesting (Seems to be only half built) and that Sutch is a place. And that I was very confused by some of the landscapes (which are under some sort of curse as they said in the trailers). It seems to be a smaller town tho, not a city, so its definitely not going to be what was suggested for oblivion. But hey, they at least aknowledged it.

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Cool I had no idea about Sutch’s backstory. Very good work! Subbed!

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it! It really is fascinating to think of how Sutch could have changed the game or what new things we would’ve seen!

[@emeraldkoala2]

It's always interesting to me how developers of these game worlds explain pieces of cut content in-universe through lore in later entries.

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes it’s very interesting! Likely because in the previous games they mentioned Sutch and that’s why they had to keep it in ESO as well as have brief mention of it in Oblivion!

[@colinanderson6069]

So thankful for your oblivion content, this game is one of the few things my older brother were able to bond with. This game, its lore and soundtrack keep me at peace. Keep going my friend!

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Tommorow I am uploading a video on what happened to Sutch in the second era (I got through some of ESO Gold Road). Im going to link this video to viewers if you are okay with that, going like "if you want to know more about the background of Sutch and its removal from oblivion, watch this excellent video by Bards Ballad". Is that okay?

[@ABardsBallad]

Absolutely! That sounds like an amazing video! I’ll be watching it for sure! :) you can link whatever you’d like my friend! All good with me!

Sutch was a big city that started as a fort. It was bigger than Leyawin, if I recall correctly, or similar in size.

I ain't him, but it doesn't sound weird to me. I HATE shitty audio. Even if the material is top-notch, if the audio is garbage, I can't listen to it.

[@saalok]

Sutch's changing hands from Hammerfell to Cyrodiil is not terribly surprising, the same thing happened to Falkreath, but it went from Cyrodiil to Skyrim.

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes! I think given it’s proximity to the border, Sutch could have most definitely been under Hammerfell’s Jurisdiction at some point in time!

[@DiocletianLarius]

Also Dragonstar during the War of the Bend'r-mahk, and Lilmoth and probably many parts of southern Morrowind after the An-Xileel rise and Accession war. Tamriel's borders during the 4th era are probably a mess😅

[@infernaldaedra]

The Warp in the West.

[@buhbuhjaychampagne1706]

Sutch was to have the second Fighter’s Guild questline, not Anvil. In one line of text it talks about meeting Azzan in Sutch or gro-Khash in Cheydinhal for contracts.

[@DiocletianLarius]

A shame we didn't get to see the city at it's glory, being so close to Hammerfell it probably had a heavy Redguard influence (kinda like Cheydinhal with Morrowind) and I personally really like Redguard culture and architecture. I was marveled the first time I entered Sentinel in TES: Daggerfall, with its huge palace and golden domes. It may seem weird to have that desert-like architecture on a more "greener" biome, but we had real life examples of that (as in, for example, Umayyad Spain) and those were beautiful Also great vid! I'm gonna sub just for the Oblivion content :p

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! I appreciate it! The aesthetics for the lost city could have been very interesting to see!

[@eraylott1407]

I’ve thought for a while it’d have been cool to have had a ruined temple of Kynareth being reclaimed by the wild, what with her being associated with nature

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s a pretty sweet idea! I’m surprised they never did anything to bring the one missing temple / chapel into the game! Even DLC!

[@birdybird712]

Yes, interesting. In the KoTN dlc you have to go to a coven or grotto that’s dedicated to Kynareth. Perhaps they made this as a workaround for a missing temple in Such?

[@HALPCat]

This is a really well made video, definitely didn't expect this when I clicked on it. You deserve more subscribers

[@shiny1556]

Really cool video. I found out about Sutch via the Beyond Skyrim progress report videos and it was interesting to hear about. Didn’t know there was so much detail tied to it, especially well after Oblivion released. Your Boethiah pronunciation threw me for a loop though haha

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! Yeah they definitely did a lot with Sutch and hopefully one day we’ll get to see it in a game! 😂😂😂 it was my first time coming across it’s name, I definitely should’ve looked up how to pronounce beforehand 😂 I was too confident in myself

[@multigamer856]

Oh! I never knew about this. But I kinda understand. Fort Sutch always has an Oblivion gate appearing nearby after Dagon shrine quest and it's one of those fixed gates that always appears there. I was wondering why, but now it makes perfect sense! I like your Oblivion content and I love Oblivion, got my sub!

[@Komotau4691]

Sutch a informative video :D

[@lnwolf7563]

Since no one else has done so, if you play ESO, Gold Road expansion, they have Sutch in the game. It is not a major city at the time, more of a small town, trading hub on the Hammerfell border. It does have a Vampire problem, and a significant portion of the population has been killed or run off. The NPC's in town indicate they intend to rebuild after the quest line, but I got the impression that since the place now has an evil reputation, it will be difficult at best to actually do so.

[@adamniehaus5835]

A new channel focusing on lore videos of my favorite elder scrolls entry? Sign me the heck up

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! Oblivion is definitely my favourite entry too and I’m excited to learn and share more lore quests and glitches! 😁

[@albertcapley6894]

I always thought they went with 9 cities for the 9 divines myself, and it completely slipped my notice all these years that Sutch is in the loading graphic. One mystery that I still crave an answer for is why there are so many roads that don't go anywhere in oblivion, it feels like there were a lot of locations cut from the final game, maybe there were more small towns or Abbeys than we finally got? And why are none of the smaller roads on the map FR, there's an entire procession of steps and trails leading to hermaeus mora shrine, with road signs, but no indication of any of it on the map. There is a haunted air to the province of Cyrodil, too many trails petering out in the middle.of nowhere and empty buildings for it not to be a little spooky, maybe unintentionally but I love it.

[@ABardsBallad]

This is a super thought provoking comment! I never thought about all the dead end roads and trails! If Bethesda cut out Sutch, I’m definitely willing to believe they cut out a bunch more smaller settlements too!

[@WK-47]

World maps are often designed early on in the process, I suppose because it's a starting point for so many design aspects (certain artists, writers, level designers). So much changes during the dev cycle that it's simply not worth constantly updating high-quality renders of things like world maps unless there's a major change. When it comes to Bethesda specifically, it has a track record with this. Fallout 3 has the world map in-game as a prop (in the Brotherhood HQ) that's the same image as the one in the UI, just a different version of it. New Vegas (I know, different devs, but they had to work with the same tools) has discrepancies like TES4 does, especially roads that don't appear on the world map or vice versa. Every game has cut content, but these ones have tons. There are too many discrepancies to account for all the quirks of the world map vs. the actual worldspace, though. I bet at least some instances were simply an artist going "I'm thinking this road goes along here, then off there..." early on, then a bunch of stuff gets added to a whiteboard in the office, then before the team's done half of what they wanted to do, suddenly they only have a few months till release just to try fixing what's already in the game. If you wanna see how deep the rabbit hole really goes, look up how the map of Tamriel has changed with every game. That stuff is less "huh, game design is chaotic" and more "I don't know what to believe any more". You can also see from older maps that Cyrodiil has more major towns than it does now, even within the modern borders, that either became villages/ruins in TES4 or just disappeared. tl;dr: it's partly down to cut content, partly down to old lore getting twisted to fit the design of the new game, and partly down to human error. P.S. Nine cities for nine Divines kinda is and isn't true at the same time. Todd and co. must've known Kvatch's chapel would've been ruined early on in development, then after Sutch got the cut, it was a sort of happy accident to go nine for nine... if you just ignore the Imperial City with an amazing statue to Akatosh and not even a single priest/monk/worshipper around. Yeah, TES4 is flawed and broken and ridiculous, and I love it.

[@paladinkhan]

Interesting stuff! Theres some other notable changes with the map shown in the title screen and the actual map we see in game.

[@diegorivera985]

Great in depth video for an old game. You got my sub

[@ABardsBallad]

Thank you for the support! After all these years I’m glad to see there’s still a large fan base on KZbin for the Oblivion content!

[@ryanocallaghan8833]

In the 2005 demo, the icon for Fort Sutch can already be seen in the centre of Sutch on the map. Combined with the fact that Todd stated there would be 9 major cities in total, I think this means it was already cut at this point, but they had not yet removed the city from the world map.

[@ytwyvern4240]

Something to note, digging in the game files: Azzan, the Guild Hall Leader in Anvil, was originally going to be in Sutch instead. In a quest log, it's said that you should return to Azzan in Sutch.

[@T1ttyLedz]

I think the issue with oblivion was they changed so much lore wise, from jungle to common medieval fantasy.. I imagine while being the least worked on I do wonder if we get hammerfell sutch turns up as a reference Oblivions sutch was destroyed and the people moved into hammerfell as they had more ties with those who lived in hammerfell, and with the time between oblivion, skyrim and ES6 it could be explained easily

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes! It definitely seems like a lot changed from Morrowind to Oblivion, then from Skyrim to Oblivion was pretty crazy! Your absolutely right that if TES6 takes places in Hammerfell, they would have an easy way of explaining what happened to Sutch!

[@noviomega15]

[@liamtimberlake2402]

Hey! I got recommended one of your latest videos and decided to go back and watch them all! Great work! Something I have a question about - you mentioned at the beginning that you can fast travel to all cities without needing to visit them. I remember on one playthrough, when I left the sewer, I immediately went into the Ayleid ruin across the water and when I exited that ruin, I couldn’t fast travel to any of the cities. Have you ever encountered that? It made me believe that the “being able to fast travel” was only available if you chose to do so right out of the sewer, and by not doing so you enable a sort of “hardcore” version where you can’t fast travel without visiting

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes! It’s really interesting how through our the rest of the games, we see little bread crumbs left over from the city of Sutch!

[@ChrissieBear]

3:00 more likely Kvatch wasn't considered a city. Since it doesn't function as one in the game.

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes! That’s likely the leading theory so far that I’m reading as to why he said 9!

[@Nyxpphire]

Just found your channel. Time to binge.

[@seakelp3508]

What if the city of Sutch is Meridia's city that was moved to Coldharbor and became the Hollow City in ESO.

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s a very interesting angle! It could definitely be something to look further into!

[@dxk65]

Sutch is in ESO now as of Gold Road. The city gets run over by vampires and never recovers. That seems to be the answer to this long looming question.

[@Jew1469]

When they said 9 cities in the trailer, I think they meant 9 usable cities. Kvatch is dead when the game starts, and is naught but a ruin, and not a usable city.

[@afish2281]

I think it would be really cool if Sutch had something going on that made it get scrubbed from history, maybe censor what happened to it by building another town named Sutch.

[@ABardsBallad]

It would be interesting if they did a city remake!

[@laylatheplaya6518]

I am currently in Sutch; It's overwhelmed by Vampires. Although this is in the West Weald of Elder Scrolls Online from the Gold Road Chapter. But Sutch does exist before the timeline of Oblivion starts place and it was destroyed between ESO and Oblivion.

[@CryptToneMusic]

I don't know if it's just me but I think it would be cool to have an Elder Scrolls game set in just one city and have it more of a full scale, realistic and lively city. All the cities in the games feel more like villages or small towns which I understand why but i just think one fully fleshed out city would be cool maybe for a spin off game. Maybe one where you're not in the magical insert chosen person role

[@Matt-md5yt]

I heard of this city from the mod project related to Morrowind and KZbin recommended me to this video.

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s pretty convenient! 😂 some mods would definitely be able to bring this city back to life!

[@cstains5543]

Or Sutch was a true border city where it was supposed to be a cross river city when they wrote the lore. Half in Hammerfell, half in the Imperial Province.

[@ABardsBallad]

Maybe! That would be really interesting if they did that! I’d love to see it done like that in a game one day!

[@Waddlethewarrior]

Maybe Tod says 9 major cities as he knows Kvatch is ruined already and therefore is not in the same group as the still functioning, alive cities?

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes! I think that might be the leading theory so far that I’ve been reading!

[@EmmaEmbla]

While Kvatch absolutely is a city in the world, it isn't really one in the game considering it's destroyed and acts more like a "dungeon" so Todd mentioning that there are 9 cities could very well still mean that Sutch was still planned at that point.

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s the leading theory I’ve been seeing at this point too! It certainly is plausible Todd no longer considered Kvatch a city!

All of the cites designs follow the general look of the land most near-by, maybe Sutch had a unique 'Hammerfell' visual-style, oh well.

[@infernaldaedra]

I believe Sutch is the victim of the dragonbreaks of Daggerfall and Morrowind specifically the Warp in the West it has been known to move places in time and had been known as different representations in that time. In short their is no Sutch without leaving the current prophesied timeline it exists in multiple places in multiple times as a result of the Elder Scrolls power. Lore into the futures of the Elder Scrolls means that the physical manifestation of the world can change with time and within the world canon.

[@MichaelPeterson-g5h]

The reason the PC of Oblivion can fast travel to the Major cities Immediatly is because they're from Cyrodiil (never left) unlike the Dovakiin (Who border crossed from somewhere) and the Nerevarine (who was deported or exiled). Thats my Headcanon anyway.

About Todd's comment on the "nine major cities." He could've been referring to all of the major cities at the time, along with Sutch - but _not Kvatch._ See, Kvatch is little more than a smoking hole in the ground by the time the game starts; so, its current status as a "major city" is questionable at best. So, while he technically should've said _ten_ cities, for all intents and purposes (as far as things like quests and factions go), there were only nine cities, when speaking in terms of actual gameplay.

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s a very fair point! He totally could’ve been talking in terms of Kvatch already being destroyed! That’s an interesting angle to look at it from!

My logic was based off of the main colours of clothing we see around Cyrodil mixed with what lesser main colour we don’t see on the uniforms! Plus there are a few cities with red as their uniforms so we see that Bethesda isn’t above rescuing some colours! Yet totally agree with you that Leyawiin likely represents green!

Todd misspoke when he said 9 major cities. Forgot the Imperial City. I just did the same thing by counting up to 8 and forgetting the Imperial City. I think they removed Sutch to retroactively make Todd's statement correct. 9 Cities. Didn't forget anything.

Working on the pronunciation for futures videos! My bad on this one 😂

I remember having to discover the town before being able to fast travel 🤔 (please don't ❤️ my comment as people with low subs tend to do to every single comment)

[@ABardsBallad]

I gotta heart everyone’s comment! And not in this game! Every major city can be travelled to! It’s just the little settlements and everything else that has to be discovered!

[@ARmax2474]

Dude really pronounced Boethiah as Bow-thiah. It’s Bow-ee-thiah

[@ABardsBallad]

Yes! Learned that after making the video! Noted for next time!
