Skyrim: 5 Spooky Theories Crazy Enough to be True - The Elder Scrolls 5 Lore

[@matthewharbour6276]

He just wanted to watch the soldiers, but was told to go inside and the best he could do was poke his head in the tower.

[@gridlock2958]

Saadia was the one who was actually lying. If you hand her over to the Redguards, and if you walk around outside for a decent amount of time rather than fast traveling everywhere. Within a weeks time, a small group of Thalmor soldiers will ambush you and attack you. In their note, they say that you have severely impeded on their power. And they have been tasked to eliminate you before you cause more damage. This always happens after I have handed Saadia over to the Redguards. She was the Thalmor spy, not the Redguards. No Thalmor attack you if you kill the Redguards.

[@theTRUEkage]

Additionally, if you kill Saadia after she has been paralyzed by the Redguard, he will get upset and ask why you would kill her after they had finally captured her. If he was going to kill her later, why would he tell you off so harshly? Don't be tricked by a pretty face, indeed!

[@23Khameo]

WhiteHerring yeah I was gonna say the same thing. Every time I do that quest I kill her just for giggles and the guy gets mad at me and tells me that I pretty much did it all for nothing or something and that she had to face justice lol he also doesn’t attack you after you do it.

[@teheldaskralls4331]

[@Jonas_æ]

@Joshua Mcclung "Resistance in Hammerfell" in this case doesn't mean there are Thalmor in Hammerfell that the people are resisting. It just means that Hammerfell are still opposing the Thalmor as a political entity, wether they are in their lands or not.

[@viysnjor4811]

My theory for Alduin at Helgen is this. When the ancient tongues created the dragonbreak to trap Alduin, it had to have a beginning and end. Being the god of time, Akatosh picked that end point very precisely, fate and all that you know. Alduin is unaware of this, from his perspective he was fighting the nords one minute in ancient times, the next hes on the throat of the world and skyrim is different. Helgen simply happened to be the nearest town for Alduin to resume his rampage, but Akatosh lined it up so that in his blind rage he would inadvertently rescue the one destined to defeat him

[@normalone0884]

I really like this idea. Not just because its creative but it also fits super well within skyrim's lore and its representation of how the Divines interact with the world at times

[@alexanderthomas7564]

It might also be Alduin saving Ulfric Stormcloak so the civil war to rage on, causing more death and souls in Sovengard. That's my theory.

[@TheOpalHammer]

Saadia was lying. Why on earth would you run from Hammerfel, a nation that is at war with the Thalmor, to a nation that is essentially controlled by the Thalmor. Also, considering the zeal of Thalmor Justiciar in skyrim, it is unlikely for the Thalmor to hire mercenaries to kill someone, especially someone important. Not to mention the mercenaries they supposedly hired were redguards who weren't even trusted to enter whiterun. Even if the Thalmor did this, they would be clever enough to hire some Nords.(considering I have been attacked by steel plated thugs in whiterun multiple times, yet the guards keep letting them at me)

[@prinzdenax]

Maybe it was summer in Hammerfell so it got too hot and she went to cool off in Skyrim

[@Aura_-ri7fo]

Cause she can

[@unregierbar7694]

Exactly. She probably didn´t calculated that the Dragonborn knows how things are in Hammerfell^^

[@wolves600]

Also the thalmor could just have her arrested

[@snugglebuns6193]

There's also the fact that Kematu gets mad at the player if you kill Saadia after he paralyzes her. He says something like "why go through all that effort for you to just kill her?" It doesn't make sense for him to kill her on the trip to Hammerfell when 1. He paralyzes her instead of easily killing her right away, and 2. He gets mad at the Dragonborn for killing her.

Alduin was feeding off the souls the Civil War sent to Sovngarde, I believe he attacked in order to allow Ulfric to escape, thus perpetuating the war and allowing his feast to continue.

[@lazarbosslukic3275]

i think it was to kill the dragonborn IMMEDIATLY without the dragonborn becoming a threat and learning shouts

[@brotherjurandum5333]

This point is raised in the video though, if Alduin was aware the Dragonborn was there and about to be executed all he had to do was nothing.

[@TonberryQueen]

Exactly.

[@brotherjurandum5333]

Thank you!

[@derrickbonsell]

I think you're both wrong. The most simple theory is that to Alduin the time between being sent out of the world and returning to it is nearly instant. He's confused, and since Helgen is the closest major population center and there's a commotion it draws him in.

[@mobi2981]

“BY THE GODS, A DRAGON!” “SENTRIES, WHAT DO YOU SEE?” bruh, what do you think they see

[@equinox9871]

As Alduin is on the tower - “it’s in the clouds!”

[@JargonMadjin]

I've seen the intro A LOT and I remember the "It's in the clouds!" line being used right before he lands on the tower, and I'm assuming they asked the sentries to clarify if a creature from over 300 years ago had indeed returned to Skyrim

The first Dragon after Alduin "Mirmulnir" is one of a very small number of dragons that were not killed by the Blades. He did not know was Alduin plan was for you. After this battle, you see Alduin in companies of a Blad Worrier. A Dragon Killer. Alduin now think of you as an Idiot, that not know anything of Dovahs. "You do not even know our tongue, do you? Such arrogance, to dare take for yourself the name of Dovah!"

[@swampwasp3]

What if Alduin turned up because he sensed a Dragon and went to investigate, but what he thought was a dragon, was actually the Dragonborn

[@rebeccaj2454]

TheLordOfMadnes And the Dragonborn really doesn’t have any previous memories because Shor really did just appear in human form, thus attracting Alduin at that point in time.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

@@rebeccaj2454 Now that's a curious idea. It hadn't really occurred to me before but we have literally no prior connections or family history in the game. It would lend credit to the idea of Shor manifesting a physical form that without really knowing why was compelled to return to skyrim. Without any documents or identity they couldn't really pass through a boarder check and that's what leads them to being caught crossing into skyrim illegally.

[@dutchvanderlinde248]

This makes sense because if you wait around in helgen for awhile Alduin will eventually shout Dovahkiin!? In a surprised tone.

[@diggy_the_first]

maybe alduin assumes the executioner is the dragonborn and that's why the dragon seems to prevent the execution.

[@fiery1377]

didnt it he say " Dovahkin?! Noo!! " like he wasn't expecting a Dragonborn to kill him...

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Personally, I think Alduin attacking Helgen was for a much more mundane reason. If you remember, Alduin was not actually banished, merely pushed forward in time, and the time where he was pushed just so happened to be 4E 201. Being understandably angry, he attacks the nearest town to him, which just so happens to be Helgen. So, Alduin being pushed forward in time, to him attacking Helgen, that was only 5 minutes ago by his perspective.

[@ThatNewGamer]

yea, for Alduin, no time has passed at all, for one second he is fighting an epic battle with dragons all around him, and the next he is surrounded by nobody and just attacks the first thing he sees out of pure rage and confusion

[@SirusEinzla]

Dark Roxas it's not a theory if it is stated in game.

[@SirusEinzla]

Dark Roxas from what I recall, it was during the conversations with Parthunaax

[@Theinen84]

Yup. Pretty much. This is further backed by the fact that Alduin doesn't attack another village. He has too much pride in being the First Born, the Strongest and a ruler. There's also the consideration of not just that he was launched through time, but HOW he was. They'd just hit him with Dragonrend. Remember how old Paarthy described it? It makes dragons, fearless, immortal beings they glide through the air and rule the land from the skies, feel great fear and mortality. They then come crashing down. The dragons can't even comprehend the meaning behind such foul words to use the shout, or even repeat them. This love of flying is further pushed with Durnheviir giving his everything to the Dragonborn just to be able to fly for brief moments. So for Alduin to be hit with that, and already in a rampage, as he started to fight more feral, yeah, he just emerged and attacked the first thing he saw. End of story. I never even considered that a mystery.

[@Jordan-gb3yr]

That’s what I thought. I feel as though he realized that if a Dragonborn is alive and in Tamriel, he cannot fulfill his ‘world eater’ status. I believe all the dragons can sense the Dragonborn, considering the player has dragon blood. He probably knew, and either decided to attack based on that (before the Dragonborn knows who they are and knows no shouts, being an easy target), or to gain more power as Helgen is one of the closest towns near the Throat of the World.

"in my time of need" is actually a quest you are meant to figure out based on background lore and logic. hammerfell hates the thalmor, and alik'r hates them more so than anyone else in the world, yes nords even you. so the alik'r would never work for the thalmor. Taneth would never be angry that someone spoke out against the thalmor, as literally everyone in the city speaks out against them. also the thalmor wouldn't hire that sort of thing out, they'd just take care of it themselves. why trust some mercs to do it, when their agents are in the area anyway.

[@chokonnit7337]

Eric Lutzow maybe because they know the dragonborn can stop them

[@Raethrean]

they don't know that the dragonborn is there though. you can start the quest when you get to go fight the first dragon. nobody knows you are dragonborn at that point and the alik'r are already looking for her at that point. so that isn't even a discussion point.

[@danieljoem97]

Well, I would say the Alik'r is actually telling the truth. When you talk to saadia the first time, she said she doesn't know anything about the alik'r searching for her in the city. She then ask the Dragonborn to talk to one of the "captured" alik'r in the whiterun prison, seems rather fishy eh?

for me the most reasonable explaination for Alduin appearing in Helgen is that upon his arrival he could feel the souls of his kin, including the dovakiin, who was the only corporally living dragon soul besides paarthunax, so he probably would check that out, without knowing exactly what was going on of which of these tiny two legs was dragonborn

The mask is attained by having every other mask, a metaphor for conquest of the other 8 provinces. The mask is the crown of tamriels greatest conqueror, the last dragonborn or previous dragonborns, say reman or talos stormcrown

We all know that number 1 is wrong. Clearly, being sent forward in time, Alduin believed he'd be able to go and see the new and wonderous creation of the 7 11. So, wandering, he searched high and low for it... until he realized he had not yet been sent far enough in the future.

[@maiqtheliar789]

Alduin was at Helgen to allow Ulfric to escape because more deaths in the civil war means more souls of the dead to gain power from.

Theres a flaw in this theory.

I have a different theory as to why Alduin attacked Helgan During a conversation with Paarthunax he mentions that the Ancient Nords used an Elder Scroll to send him forward in time I believe when they sent him forward in time they unknowingly and unintentionally sent him to when The Imperials were about to execute the Stormcloaks at Helgan When he realised that he was sent forward in time by the nords , in a fit of anger attacked Helgan and burnt it to the ground I believe this is the reason why Alduin attacked Helgan.

What's even more interesting about Lokir praying to the divine in the beginning cinematic? He also includes Shor, which is not apart of the 9 or 8 divines, but the Nord variant of Lorkan.

[@DerHortator]

The reason why Shor isn't in his mead hall is actually because he is kinda dead. Parts of his Soul survived, which is why there are Shezzarines, but Shor/Lorkhan got his heart ripped out and thrown into Red Mountain, where it was destroyed by the Nerevarine. There is actually a book titled "The Lunar Lorkhan", which claims that the two moons of Nirn, Masser and Secunda, are basically his corpse.

The Hero of Daggerfall was born 3E375, the Eternal Champion (Arena's Protagonist) was born 3E370 and lived at least until 3E399 when he defeated Jagar Tharn. So the Hero of Daggerfall cannot be an incarnation of the Eternal Champion. That is not possible, simple as that. The Champion of Cyrodiil can't be the reincarnation of the Nerevarine either, because Oblivion takes place 3E433, which is 6 years after Morrowind. And since our protagonist in Oblivion isn't a 6 year old, but a grown up man or woman, he cannot be the incarnation of the Nerevarine. It is, again, not possible.

I believe that in Alduins quest to rule over Skyrim he wanted a challenge and saved the dragonborn from execution. When he lands on the guard tower he looks right at you. Don’t you think if he wanted to kill you he would’ve shouted at you? When you go and watch him resurrect a dragon he didn’t kill you. Alduin didn’t want to kill the dragonborn until his strength was full. This is what makes the most sense to me.

Learned who Ulfric was and aided in his escape so he could continue to feed on the souls fallen in the war.

[@roanc3709]

My personal theory is that Alduin attacked Helgen to save you, because he was so cocky and overconfident he was sure that he would win your battle and wanted that glory. Letting you die at the hand of an executioner wouldn't make for a great tale after all. But eventually his hubris is his downfall. I like this theory because it shows Alduin as the overconfident character he is, being so sure his plan would succeed he is ultimately his own downfall, not only saving the life of the person who would eventually defeat him, but in fact setting into motion the chain of events that would result in his defeat.

I think Akatosh wanted Alduin to ‘save’ the Dragonborn for a more interesting battle. It would be more dramatic if the Dragonborn and the world eater battled it out in Sovngarde rather than the Dragonborn dying in an execution for illegally crossing the border.

[@samsonguy10k]

+Kristin Stobaugh Exactly. To all things there should be some rules, and Alduin is more just a demigod than a full one. If he were to just destroy the Dragonborn at Helgen, it would take away the fun of all the high Daedra and the gods. If anything it becomes more a test to see if the Dragonborn is worth fighting, as Alduin doesn't ever directly attack them, but all those around them, but still presents such chaos and destruction that anyone less than a hero would have perished. Many did perish, and I think I remember Tulius stating he got out by the skin of his teeth. What's great is this doesn't even discount the theory about the Dragonborn being Shor. Shor would have had his own rules as well. Having the powers of a Dragonborn, but no memories of before while he held a mortal form. Kinda like a wizard sent from the West to aid Middle Earth in its time of need. Able to use only enough power to aid, but never to use it to match the greater evil. Although in Skyrim's case, the plan was to grow in power in order to match the greater evil.
