Harkon seems like the kind of dude that'd really respect how close the mythic dawn cult came to conquering nirn and most likely just wanted an artifact of them as decoration

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

Camel: “esoteric” Us: “he said the thing, he said the thing!”

[@vermillion6159]

I've heard a theory about the Mythic Dawn banner in Harkon's room, I don't remember exactly where though. Since Dagon and Molag Bal are rivals, it is possible that Harkon captured some Mythic Dawn members during the Oblivion crisis and kept the banner as a symbol of triumph.

Here's something I noticed instantly. Might be a coincidence but. Gunmar is a member of the Dawnguard who trains Trolls. In Trollhunters. Gunmar a troll is the Antagonist who with his sword Controlls other trolls. I have always found this slightly interesting and nobody else seems to notice this

[@baldkiwi444]

skyrim reference in trollhunters

[@kaiquerodrigues7511]

Well the scene of Vyrthur siting in the throne with thoses "frozen" creatures is a reference from the castle of the white queen Jadis in Narnia :D

[@Asa_Morris]

"brace yourself for this one" absolutely masterful execution, thank you Camel 🐪

[@angelitabecerra]

Yup! I always grab "The Sultry Argonian Bard". I've a thing for the books in the game and am determined to have at least 1 copy of every findable book for my houses' libraries.

Camel, your videos are so well done and thorough. You’re honestly my favorite KZbind, you e gotten me back into Skyrim at least 20 times lol! Keep up the excellent work!

[@veritascalivmeir3708]

Camelworks, have you ever thought about doing videos on specific non-quest locations? Places like Lost Prospect Mine that are seemingly mundane at first but have a story hidden away inside them. Skyrim has quite a few of them.

[@mythwrighter1451]

Dawn guards dogs could also be a reference too Norse mythos as Fenrir's pups share the same names

[@kimberlyhill9229]

The green slime The Reaper spits at you, actually comes from Peryite's questline in Skyrim where his followers are infected with an unknown sickness from his plain of Oblivion and are referred to as The Afflicted and the humanoid that's crushed in Castle Volkihar may also be Hircine, a daedra with a deer head

[@SybieSybs]

I've been spending the last two days getting all the Xbox 360 Achievements for Oblivion. It's nice to listen to some Elder Scrolls while I finish up the Shivering Isles. Thanks, Camel!

[@jmell458]

Oh man, if only there was a KZbinr with extensive knowledge of NPC dialogue who could speculate, hypothesise and theorise where the next Elder Scrolls game might be set... Each game seems to have many hints to the next

[@ralcogaming7674]

I'm standing by hammerfell my reasoning is poor at best, in morrowind you're taken from cyrodill in skyrim you were headed to hammerfell. Little hints in the openings of games.

[@jmell458]

@@ralcogaming7674 I'm inclined to agree. That, and one of the first quests most players following the story will encounter is the Saadia quest with the two Redguards

[@ralcogaming7674]

@@jmell458 we also learn in eso that red eagle was a sword singer. Red eagle was a prominent reachmen. Theres also the ebony warrior whose a dragonborn and a redguard.

[@stefanstoyanov7460]

Bran means "Defender" on most slavic languages. Branimir is very popular variation of the name, it means defender of the world.

[@SpookypupOmen]

I remember meeting Jiub in the soul cairn....I got pretty emotional. Morrowind was an exponentially important game for me so getting to run into him again....that was nice.

[@SerathDarklands]

It's also possible that the Ancient Falmer Armor is called "Ivory Armor" in the creation kit coding because it's similar in design to Ebony Armor, but with a white color scheme, and as such is the opposite of ebony - hence ebony and ivory.

[@zeldafreak000]

You can actually find Chaurus hunters in the Falmer dungeon you go to during the Thieves Guild questline if you have the Dawnguard DLC installed.

[@AkemiSakuya495]

I'm the Soul Cairn, as I was doing the Arvak quest, I remember wandering around to find the skull and I found what looked like a tomb to me. I entered, since tombs hold corpses, and corpses have skeletons, etc, only to be met with a stand or so which required a gem fragments, which I'd previously collected because I thought they looked cool and I had literally nothing better to do as I tried to stay up all night. As a result, I recall there being a strange reaction of there suddenly being lightning striking the center of the room from the stand and the ceiling, the room dark with a grate-like floor I think? I know for sure, however, that an executioner-like figure started attacking me, vomiting as an attack whilst summoning skeletons or something of the sort. Either way, I got completely owned regardless of my relatively high-ish level and quite leveled armor, magic, and weapons. This was a few years ago, and ever since then had I figured I'd found a secret boss or an Easter Egg or something. Only recently had I decided to Google it to figure out what the hell actually happened there. Turns out, I just got my ass handed to me by what was quite literally a secret boss, the Reaper.

[@gaming_bigfoot]

There's another Sultry Argonian Bard book out there. I've gotten that book before but never at a bedroll like that. Examination with the creation kit should show proof enough if I'm right on that though.

[@ernestlemmingway1124]

The Nightmare from D&D (pre-5e) is native to the Lower Planes, not the Astral Plane or Plane of Shadows. Which is fitting since they're often the mounts for night hags ("night-mara"). Cu Sith is properly pronounced "Coo Shee."

[@ZombieOfMist]

I always assumed the Chaos symbol pin on the female vampires' capes were some kinda lowkey nod to Molag Bal's domain Coldharbour. Now, English isn't my native language but harbors makes me think of the sea and marine stuff, so the pin I always thought was like... a fancy rudder for a ship.

[@crashkojote5627]

Perfect Timing! I needed this. Now. Thank you.

[@dislikereporter2271]

Just wanna let you know since I'm a bit early today, I really love your content, please keep doing what you do! Theres not enough good skyrim content on youtube nowadays and I think your content definitely applies! PS: you have a sexy voice

[@SabreArchon]

The Story of St. Patrick is actually a glorified genocide committed by The Holy Roman Empire against Irish-Celtic Pagans. The “Driving the Snakes from Ireland” trope is actually a metaphor to the Genocide as “The Serpent” is one of the Totem/Spirit Animals of Irish-Celtic Pagans. The Colours of St. Patrick’s Day being Green is also wrong. The original colours of the St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations were Blue and Gold.

[@jbzhummerh2gamer]

Whenever I see a human body or skeleton with a deer head I think of the Jersey Devil.

[@BaldingClamydia]

28:20 I'm sure you're right and it's a ghostbuster reference but ectoplasm from ghosts/mediums is very Victorian. They went through a spiritual craze (at least in the US) and that's the first place I know of ectoplasm being a thing

[@sagacious03]

I hope you have more new, big videos like this in the work! Anyway, time to dive in deep into this Dawnguard delving! Thanks so much for uploading!

[@nocturnal101ravenous6]

Wendigo North American Culture- The deer skull with the human body is a reference to Celtic/Gaelic lore and a Manga Series that got extremely popular that was influenced by the culture in 2014 and ended up getting an Anime in 2017-2018 called "The Ancient Magus Bride" the character is Alias Ainsworth a dark Fae that lives aside Humanity and is very rich and powerful and a collector of oddities and a creature that feasted on human flesh at one point when he was more feral, its also could be a reference to Cernunnos the horned God.

[@devon-crain]

about The Reaper's green vomit, my mind actually went to the episode of The X-Files--season 1 episode 3. The Reaper being in an enclosed space filled with clumps of bone+slime reminded me of the antagonist of that episode Victor, as he can traverse tight spaces, and made a nest out of human bile and newspaper.

[@creakimoi2958]

While you already covered it...for those wandering in a few years too late like me....the Mythic Dawn banner is theorized if not proven to be a trophy banner...placed to show off the defeat of the cult.

[@BugCatcher89]

[@turtlegod2417]

i feel the the Wendigo one at around 42:50 could also be reference to the Witcher with Leshen's being a specific monster from it. very similar creatures in likeness and stature.

[@TrypKingsley]

That thing with The Fountain is pretty dang neat. My favorite game referencing my favorite movie.

[@papanolongerplays4133]

You forgot to mention that the flying orbs in the Soul Cairn is a reference to Little Monsters. In the movie, there are flying orbs that appear when Brian and Maurice (who's a friendly monster) first enter the monster underworld, much like when the Dragonborn and Serana (also a friendly monster) first entered the Soul Cairn.

Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon are supposedly enemies. As Mehrunes Dagon was born in Lyg to overthrow the Dreugh King there, which later turned out to be Molag Bal. Likely the banner is a trophy from a Mythic Dawn cult which Harkon killed.

Nice, new video... Now to put this on repeat until my whole family memorises all the mistakes he says. Maybe those were the real Easter eggs we learnt along the way.

[@VirtualAxiom]

"Thanks to Red Mountain busting a red-hot nut over Tamriel." Wow, ok, that's one way to put it. XD The fact that you're such a cunning linguist is what keeps me coming back as much as the fact that long-form Elder Scrolls content makes great background noise.

[@Lodestone8]

The deer headed things appear in the midden too I believe.

[@CanuckBacon]

It's a common myth of the look of a wendigo having a skeletal head of a deer, no idea where it comes from, but wending just look like deathly sick people, in fact The Wightwalkers of Game of thrones are more closely related to the Wendigo than any other pop depeiction

The Mythic Dawn banner was hanging in a torture room. It is more likely a trophy.

Speaking of Hall or Hell her full name sound like Helga with soft "l" sound I used to have a female cat called Helga. And of coz she was named after Keltic Goodness.

[@aliasilver_636]

As an avid D&D player, I will not stand for this heresy! Nightmares are not natural creatures from the shadowfell, although their initial form is natural to the material plane - a pegasus. The way to create a nightmare is to tortuously tear off their wings in a dark ritual. This purely evil act turns these otherwise good creatures into the evil nightmare. Otherwise, fun video. Just take care not to invoke my wrath again...

[@dleonidae]

Not gonna lie, the female vampire brooch makes me think of Mephala's Web...

Hey Camelworks, about the humanoid skeleton with dear head: might this refer to Slavic lore? They have this creature called a Leshy, which fits that bill quite well :)

The Thorin reference wouldn't be possible as Dawnguard came out in 2012 while the Battle of the Five Armies movie came out in 2014. Thorin in the book died in a tent after the battle. Not on top of an icy mountain fortress like the movie.
