Elder Scrolls Lore: Ch.24 - Wolf Queen of Solitude

[@dichotomy1593]

The narrator's voice is golden. The story is golden. I would gladly view a motion picture of this.

[@EzratheRift]

Dichotomy you are

[@EzratheRift]

He's actually a VA from the Elder Scrolls 4 expansion, The Shivering Isles.

Anyone else feel Bethesda should turn this series into a dvd and package it with the next Elder Scrolls game? Seriously, I watch this and I feel like I'm watching the History Channel.

[@rosebyday3479]

Haha same

[@MarcAlcatraz]

no way, bethesda should never make money off of this, but i could totally picture pete hines trying to

[@Sunsy555]

Shes loosely based off the mother of an Aztec king who used jer sons power to make her more powerful little late to know but fun fact haha.

[@drksideofthewal]

That's for damn sure. XD

[@ravensbigtrusss7905]

Facts

[@IAmTheStig32]

So Wolf Queen Potema is basically a demented mix of Cersei Lannister and Adolf Hitler, with daedra worship and necromancy. Yeah, sounds like such a nice lady.

[@srikrishnabhat6793]

+ilyriandevil Don't generalize it to all elves.

[@klassicbadz8009]

+ilyriandevil Khajiit*

[@srikrishnabhat6793]

All humans also enslave their own kind. Don't talk as if Tiber Septim was some innocent god sent prophet of mankind who did on;y good stuff. He didn't mind sending his own people as slaves either. He exchanged slaves with the Dunmers as well. Ever seen the racism of the Nords as well? While they did slaughter all the snow elves, the rest of the elven folk who didn't attack them first don't deserve that treatment. The Wood elves and the Orcs are much better than most of the humans. Wood Elves serve a pact which lets them stay peacefully in Valenwood in return for not harming the plant life and cleaning up whatever they kill by eather consuming it within 3 days or using the bones and fur of their kill as weapons. Therefore, they have to eat their brethren if they misfire and kill them unless all the wood elves are thrown out of Valenwood and don't get me started on the mistreatment suffered by Orcs by rest of the mankind. Khajit culture involves skooma and moon sugar and they aren't affected by Skooma as the rest of the races are. Therefore, its not a problem for them to drink Skooma or have moon sugar.

[@aviniciussouza100]

Truth. Also, the Khajit doesn't force anyone to take Skooma.

[@SkyDizzleAdorer]

[@skeletop]

This new voice actor, he deserves to be in the movies.

[@2KXMKR]

This video inspired one of my most favorite character builds yet. Combining Illusion and Conjuration magic to manipulate enemies in to fighting themselves while sending in hordes of conjured wolves, eventually replaced by the flaming familiars, while trying to stay as far away from the fight as possible. After a few enemies are killed start raising them or wait until there is enough to make good use of the Ritual Stone ability. If the fight is brought to you turn in to a werewolf and summon spectral ice wolves or werewolves to fight with you. Taking a large bandit or Forsworn camp becomes a scene of absolute chaos.

[@nope9233]

I'm about to try this out

[@kaiserwilhelmthesecond5744]

+MickMaan Sounds absolutely amazing

[@2KXMKR]

Add a follower to the mix and give them a staff to conjure a familiar. Most followers will use it before running in to battle, Belrand uses Conjure Familiar as standard, adding another wolf to your pack. Edit : This just gave me a crazy idea. What would happen if you installed a mod to have multiple followers and gave each a staff :D

[@kaiserwilhelmthesecond5744]

MickMaan So far i got these two vampires that i used dead thrall on and now they follow me around, pretty sweet.

[@asomeprod6163]

[@HamCubes]

It took me a few minutes to get used to the new narrator, but I think he's a keeper. He lends a nice gravitas to the lore. Now that I'm used to him, it feels and sounds a lot like a great storyteller is telling me a tale while I fall asleep. Anyone who can make me mellow and sleepy deserves a Nobel prize. Thanks (sincerely), Shoddycast!!!

[@Nee.]

I found his voice-over work to be top notch. Whereas Josh's voice is familiar and great in itself, this video almost had me believe it was part of a Discovery Channel documentary, which in my opinion was brilliant. That's pretty much what I think this series is. A long documentary on the history of the Elder Scrolls games. Whichever route you guys decide to take, I'm still going to keep watching it so great job for everything so far and best wishes on future endeavors! Keep it up, ShoddyCast!

[@nlm2nd]

I feel like my grandfather is telling me a story out of a big story book. Jose's voice reminds me of the narrator of the Lord of the Rings audiobooks

[@SantuXD6]

Is like an NPC in Morrowind told me this tale, with a slumbering and sinister tone, and with questionable sound quality. Magical.

[@SantuXD6]

That's definitely a voice I would use to read bedtime stories to my children.

[@Watchin4story]

Shoddycast just went professional on the TES lore. I love it!

[@jzargofromelsweyr4733]

Potema and Maven, I can already see it happening

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

Honestly, both narrators are pretty amazing, in my opinion, but Jose adds this sort of ominous feeling of impending doom that Josh simply doesn't have. That being said, I do love Josh's narration, and would still love to hear more of him (as I'm sure many others here would too), so why don't you use this new narrator for those more ominous, cautionary tales instead?

[@Sixx_VT]

ShoddyCast, I'm a big fan of your lore series and have loved watching every single one.With that in mind I can honestly say that this is one of the best episodes yet. The narrator was fantastic, the machinima was great and the script came alive. Please keep the narrator (if you can afford him). Excellent work, well done!

[@GreyWarden4460]

[@Jokamutta]

Who is he ??

[@crossgearedviking1559]

The new narrator was a little odd to hear at first, but after listening to him a couple of times, I'd have to give him a thumbs up. He does carry well the tone of the old town bard, which I believe is quite appropriate for the elder scrolls series. I certainly wouldn't mind hearing another story from him again.

[@awesomesauce980]

Banishing Potema was as much a pain as it was a piece of cake. Skyre, revenge of the enemies, master difficulty at lvl 40 as a cloth mage. With Lydia, 5 skeletons worth of bones and soul gems, and atronachs against an army of high level vampires teleporting everywhere and deathlords shouting up the place, it was a literal warzone in that dungeon. But to be quite honest, I was disappointed with the boss fight. Sure, an army of deathlords and lichs against my own was awesome but for all the hype Potema was making, I expected more than a ghost with a stupid amount of health and could barely put a scratch on Lydia.

[@aviniciussouza100]

Yes. You can say the same about Ancano with the Eye of Magnus.

[@eingew]

I would blame the ones who tried to revive her. It has to be their bad power that she was so weak.

[@Ropewatch]

Allan Vdsouza Yes after the long questline we deserved a good Mage bossfight

[@itachiuchiha2095]

As an owner of a copy of Skyrim, these videos give me feels, especially the man's voice. It just sounds so in-character and in-universe.

[@jackal5359]

This guys voice is awesome.

[@Elkayra8]

i literally fell in love with Potema, the wolf queen! She's evil, dominant, cruel, saddistic and have no moral restraint! my kind of woman! She may have a dark tale and stuff and also might look simply evil for the sake of being evil, there is more under that i'm sure... well i guess cause nobody is evil to be evil! even tough she was mad, she was also sophisticated and a woman of refined tastes. she really should have sommoned Hircine, she would have found an army much more reliable than shambling corpses, an army of wolfish creature as terrible as herself and she would still be alive today, ruling the empire!

[@theDoctorwitTardis]

When you do the quest in Solitude's catacombs to banish her back to the void she says something like: "come mortal you are strong and you will be even stronger when you die and rise again to join my army" I wanted to join her to make her to see her rule it would be very interesting to see an undead invasion in the middle of a cival war but she is also very interesting and strong woman I would gladly follow her

[@Elkayra8]

during that quest, i wanted to join her but it wasen't a game option... Still, an army of undead werewolves would pretty much put both the empire and the stromcloak out of their grave! because Potema would have brough them back after their death! Curse of the shallow graves

[@mikemecina9105]

The quality of these videos is absolutely stunning. Thank you very much for making them.

[@knatsu]

Fantastic work here Josh! Something you can be really proud of. Bethesda should start paying you for this!!

I don't think that anyone has done one on him yet because I've actually looked and I have not found one yet but this channel is my favorite lore channel and I would definitely love to see it here 😀

[@Slayerlord0]

Which is weird, because he's one of the coolest characters in the lore. Kind of a disappointment in vanilla Oblivion because of all the hype build-up but with the right mods...

[@krystinakreuger3362]

+Slayerlord0 I agree with you completely! He is definitely one of the more impressive characters in the ES series and there are so many new fans that really just don't know about his legacy and it would be great to finally see a lore video done about him especially on this channel and when it comes to lore and the ES series, I always refer everyone to this channel :)

[@clintjensen5984]

Just saying, a metal band named Towers wrote a song titled Potema, here are the lyrics. Potema uses powers, forces, strengths unknown She raises from the dead to enslave us all So many tortured, so many lives down RISE THE WOLF QUEEN She makes nightmares, deepest fears reality You'd better hide yourself, no one's safe from the wraith She'll tear the world apart devour your still beating heart Everyone must pay Better step up better fucking prepare The winds have changed, there's something in the air She raised herself back from the dead The world will burn, beneath it There's nothing anyone can do, the wolf queen will conquer you Bow down to her now Beg for mercy from the one they call the wolf queen Ascend yourself to the darkness, you don't stand a chance Bleeding from the inside, bleeding from the eyes From the eyes Potema uses powers, forces, strengths unknown She raises from the dead to enslave us all So many tortured, so many lives down RISE THE WOLF QUEEN She makes nightmares, deepest fears reality You'd better hide yourself, no one's safe from the wraith She'll tear the world apart devour your still beating heart Everyone must pay Better step up better fucking prepare The winds have changed, there's something in the air She raised herself back from the dead The world will burn, beneath it There's nothing anyone can do, the wolf queen will conquer you Bow down to her now Beg for mercy from the one they call the wolf queen Ascend yourself to the darkness, you don't stand a chance Bleeding from the inside, bleeding from the eyes From the eyes

I first read this story in Skyrim when I found a book entitled "The wolf Queen v1" even then I was hooked. I couldn't wait to read the next volume so I raided a few dungeons, slaughtered dozens of bandits and draugrs, killed a dragon, ransacked a town until I got all volumes. I have to say that the story is really excellent, so maybe that was one of the reasons why this episode is really good.

[@345635356]

Funny how tamriel history suggests that the nord's of skyrim are the dominant race in all to many ways. look at the examples: Ysgramor, Hakon One-Eye, Felldir The Old, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, Talos (Aka. Tiber Septim), the septim's in general, the wolf queen, Ulfric Stormcloak, the last dragonborn of the fourth era... The anialation of the snow elves, the double defeat of the dragons... I'm surprised that the empire thought it was a good idea to take their central god away, or that the Aldmery Dominion thought it was a good idea to anger the nords xD

[@Lightscribe225]

Because there are just as many example of the Nords getting their asses handed to them: Borgas losing the Nordic Empire to a Bosmer Wild Hunt. Losing the Battle of Red Mountain despite having a demigod on their side. Being hired by the Khajiit to help fight the Bosmer, then getting fired because they lost so terribly. Destruction if their armies at the hands of the Tsaesci and the Kamal. Just to name a few. And the Dragonborn isn't always nord. It's just as easily any other race. Player choice determines the race. The Dominion doesn't mind banning the worship of Talos because they know the easily manipulated Nords will lash out at the Imperials, making the next war against them much easier. And even if they have to get involved, they field two things the Nords are weak against: Bosmer snipers and Altmer battlemages.

[@345635356]

wasnt the battle of red mountain fought between the dark elves and the dwarves? i guess you have a point, but i remember the nords in skyrim being just as pissed at elves as they where at the empire. snipers maybe, but i can think of an easy way to beat any magic: the shouts of the nords. i honestly believe that the nords can hold skyrim in a defencive fight against anything

[@Lightscribe225]

Akaviri Commander Mishaxhi I blame the programming limitations of the time. There was a lot of stuff from Oblivion and Skyrim that had to be cut to make them more console friendly, or removed because there just wasn't enough time to develop it all.

[@Lightscribe225]

Alexander Greyling Forgot to add: The shouts barely help against elves. As proof at the Battle of Red Mountain when damn near every Nord could Shout. Yet they still lost. The Mer simply slit their throats or muted them so they couldn't shout.

ok then leave the shouts out. They still have cold mountenous skyrim that is infested with man eating creatures and bandits. That terrain makes it difficult for an invading force to march in, and makes it easy to fight a highly efficient gorrilla war. If the dovakin aided skyrim in its independance, then he will side with the nords if the dominion attacks, and since he can shout, conquer a fort filled with high elves by himself and command the dragons in skyrim (creatures capable of individually destroying fleets, cities, towns, armies, etc, who cannot be killed by normal mortals, and who have the thoum in their blood), he alone could give the elves one hell of a fight. Now, add the locals to this mix: skilled warriors that are resistant to the cold, on par with the orks and with the redguards, and that are verry pissed at the dominion, and highly territorial because of the independance war they have just won. As long as the nords fight a defencive war inside skyrim, i doubt that the elves can take the province, especialy since the elves also want to take on the bretons, the imperials and the redguards, plus the empire itself which includes other races, and therefore cannot attack skyrim in full force. Best case? The nords repell the elves every time they try to attack skyrim. Worst case? Skyrim is plunged in to a brutal gorilla war where the elves are trying to survive in the middle of a deathtrap of ice, nord steel and dov fire

The voice actor is amazing.

[@EricVidfarne]

The new narrator is reading a story, not telling one. Because of this, even though his voice is good, I think the prior one is better.

[@EricVidfarne]

***** Yes, that could work. I'm worried, however, that you'd be able to tell that the new narrator isn't familiar with the TES-universe (in pronunciation of and emphasis on certain words etc) . Also, he might just sound too good, giving a more artificial feel to it. I don't know. I'm torn.

This is why you always use soul gyms as enchantment tools instead of making it into jewelry

I don't know I like this new guy's voice and all, but the original narrator has grown on me and without him this episode seemed to be missing something.

[@ayon6371]

Best storytelling voice in this series for real!!!! Let this guy do all the talking! :D

[@theangryirish6684]

I wish the rest of the elder scrolls lore series videos were in this style.

[@Tarvisse]

Awesome writing, and awesome choice of story. You guys are just fantastic, favorite channel by far. The ESO info and content, alongside the you're lore series is great! Keep it up Shoddy Cast!

[@eliasstorm4641]

Can you possibly make an episode about Pelagius Septim III, the mad emperor of tamriel (now so boringly sane)?

[@FullMetalXV]

This. This is is GOLDEN CONTENT.
