Continue down the stream, where the water falls through the cliffs. Go down that and you will fall through a cave entrance. You'll land in a deep pool of water which you can swim out of to get to dry land. Bring lots of torches because it's super dark down there, that's where you can find some. The eeriest thing about them is that they make no sound even in their death throes.

[@kevinsullivan3448]

After a bit of contemplation, I think the Falmer you fight in Auri-El's Chapel might be advanced Feral Falmer. Some of them have wings similar to what Vampire Lords have. I'll pay closer attention on my next play through.

[@DanielChico09]

The feral falmers being vampires is stated by Knight-Paladin Gelebor after you tell him his brother was a vampire. He basic say he is relieved that the fallen aren't beyond redemption since the ones who attacked them were also corrupted by vampirism. It's strange that you said the hagraven had some sort of deal with the forsworn as if they were feral monsters with no contact with humans. They are just uglier witches with more powers. The ones that live in forsworn camps are themselves forsworns and have some sort of priestly/shamanic role in their society. If you ever want to talk more about witches turning into hagravens visit the Darklight Tower at the south-east courner of the map. Once you enter Illia will ask your help preventing her mother from turning into a monster.

Hell yeah If you want some Mythos references just look at Herma Mora and Apocrypha, that's why I hate and love that place at the same time.

[@souleaterevans4589]

Becoming a Hagraven is implied a lot in the base game of Skyrim as well. Any quest location that involves encountering a Hagraven, but that has not been activated yet, will place a Hag witch in their place(s). These enemies can be killed without affecting how the quest is supposed to be played out, and will either be replaced by Hagravens when necessary or have Hagravens suddenly appearing beside them in the location to fight alongside them. For example, the Glenmoril witches for Kodlak's quest are only hags until that quest is active. Similarly, there is a hag in the cabin that will later house your Hagraven wife-to-be. Hags seem to respect and work alongside Hagravens no matter what, you can hear Hagravens speak in quests (albeit much less intelligently), and I think I remember a quest where a witch wanted to escape becoming a Hagraven (or maybe it was being in a coven that seeks to become Hagravens)? Memory's a little fuzzy there. Also, the letter Agnis has for her third sister sounds very much like encouraging her to join them because she wants the three of them to become (ascend to?) Hagravens, but maybe not.

[@luisgomez.7100]

I'm just in love with your tops man, just got obsessed with this channel.

[@Cabbage61]

Honestly love binge watching this channel. Excellent content, thanks for posting.

[@moiracape3375]

Hey nate! Obsessed with your channel, I’ve been playing Skyrim forever and I’m still discovering new things thanks to you. Also I’m Moira the hagraven!!!!

[@fugo5464]

Theres also the tower which i forgot the name of where theres a potential follower that has to stop her mother from becoming a hagraven, which further proves that hagravens were originally human.

[@Kris-iw7we]

I believe one of the books in Skyrim mentions that hagravens were human but they surrendered humanity for magic or something, like they willingly let themselves become corrupted in exchange for more magic - I looked it up just now, and it's Herbane's Bestiary on Hagravens :) Great video, as always!

[@Hektols]

I have the theory that haghravens can take a human form where they pretend to be witches, that they are the raven equivalent of werewolves and werebears. They don't look more like ravens because they need to keep enough human attributes to cast spells. It would be interesting if the next game allowed the player to turn into one.

Your voice is so pleasant to listen to! (And your vids are epic. Ever considered doing some more lore-indepth things?)

[@WhateverMaster505]

Oblivion slaughterfish freaked me out the most when I first played because of how much they reminded me of goa'uld.

[@kazu9445]

Does anyone else just binge these videos? They're so addicting to watch I swear.

[@genobreaker1054]

The seeker thing has been my headcanon anyway. And when you compare Miraak's mask to the appearance of the seekers, it makes even more sense. he had the will and the power to resist being turned but not corrupted, but the regular seekers are mortal mages who travelled to Apocrypha in search of knowledge but were consumed.

Something to note on Hagraven's, there's a quest in Darklight Tower to gain a follower after it, but during the quest Illia, a witch/mage notes that her Mother wanted her to bring an innocent person into the tower to kill in order to perform some sort of ritual in order to in her own words "...Turn into one of those things!" Implying the ritual would turn her into a Hagraven (which are scattered throughout the tower) she also says her mother had been corrupted by the Hagravens implying they can in fact communicate without trying to kill you. Personally i like my theory that Hagravens are sort of a vip group for witches, and only select few witches are chosen to become a Hagraven. But i guess we'll never know.

An interesting side note that never gets mentioned, the Altar of Thrond on Solsteim is near a werewolf camp, where you can trade if you are also a werewolf and they have some interesting rings available for people of that persuasion. For vampires the Altar of Thrond is one of the possible radiant locations for the quest Rings of Blood Magic given by Feran Sadri in Castle Volkihar. The sisters were originally witches of the Glenmoril Wyrd who traveled to Solstheim to help people cure themselves of lycanthropy. And the human sacrifice on the bloody altar outside the cave entrance most likely explains the process used to transform into Hagravens.

[@starkillerrxrafael2938]

Hagravens' connection to Hircine is way more than just alluded to. In the Companions questline, we find out that a group of Hagravens known as Glenmori Witches gave the Companions' Circle lycanthropy - which, as you said, is associated with Hircine. The loading screen message about Hircine is also accompanied by a model of an altar that appears in the Witches' cave, suggesting they worship him.

[@gsport150]

When it comes to hagravens, if you visit Darklight Tower in the southern mountains of the Rift, you will meet Illia. Ilia’s mother is in the process of “becoming one of those beasts,” so we are given yet another small tidbit of what it takes to become a hagraven, obviously including human sacrifice.
