Soft-Spoken ASMR: Skyrim Library Vol. 1 - The Histories

Can you believe it's been almost four months since we last looked at an Elder Scrolls book? Hard to believe, but it's true! To rectify that, today's video is a soft-spoken reading from The Skyrim Library, Volume 1: The Histories. Relax as I quietly regale you with wondrous myths and stories from Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls universe!
ASMR triggers include ear-to-ear soft speaking, page turning, and a little bit of tapping.
I strongly recommend listening to this video with headphones for the best experience!
---- What's ASMR, and why am I speaking quietly? ----
I speak softly in my videos because they're intended to trigger a sensation called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a specific feeling that some people experience when they hear certain quiet sounds, like whispering or tapping, or see certain visuals, like deliberate hand motions. It's often described as a pleasant tingling in the head and neck, accompanied by a sense of calmness and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to help them relax or fall asleep. To learn more about ASMR, I recommend checking out asmruniversity.com/about-asmr/.... Happy tingles!

[@joshwilner5622]

theASMRnerd do you think you could possibly do a reading of the overwatch comics. If you have an interest in the overwatch lure that is.

[@jacksaulovich8032]

[@Big_double_dee]

so when will you two colab? :D

[@crunchytoast1427]

With such a collection of Skyrim books you should be working at the college of winterhold. better then the orc I have to buy my spells from

[@sander8565]

Crunchy Toast than*

[@theASMRnerd]

I've applied for professorship there, still waiting for a call-back.

[@theASMRnerd]

I think I'm a Restoration kind of guy.

[@taxevasion0336]

Don't diss my boy Urag, he does good work

[@GentlemanJim543]

Should've taken that horse and been halfway to Hammerfell, nerd.

[@kenpatchiramasama1076]

the hol horse amirite pls dont kick me out

[@theASMRnerd]

CURVED. SWORDS.

[@gogetafuckinsama6500]

oh my god this actually exists?!?! God bless man, I'm in heaven

[@theASMRnerd]

Haha glad you came across is man!

[@Grimfaxe]

Your elder scrolls videos are the best ones!! Thank you!

[@theASMRnerd]

You're welcome :)

[@greenspark101]

I finally got Skyrim thanks to you, and it's amazing- as is your work! 🙏

[@theASMRnerd]

Awh thank you! So glad my stuff convinced you to pick up the game; it's really special :)

[@plitterusmaximus]

whiterun is literally the capital of rohan from lotr

[@theASMRnerd]

Pretty much! Very heavily inspired by Edoras, but it's cool so I don't mind.

[@plitterusmaximus]

I find the connection between rohan and horses interesting. Geographically in the lore it makes sense but the celtic/nordic influences dont as from my limited knowledge on the subject those cultures werent known for calvary or anything like that.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

victor plitt Yep! It even says so on the Wiki! (Trivia section) ;) 😉 elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Whiterun_(Skyrim)

[@JimmyTwoShoes94]

Joobis Crust they are based off the Anglo-Saxons

[@neoniakitsama]

My first reaction to a dragon in skyrim: FLAPPIN FLOSSIM WHATS THAT

[@andreastheshadow]

Favulous Gaming mine was "that's a wyvern"

[@onewaytosavetheday]

hahahaha Yes. Unfortunately.

[@hika5251]

Me: (bored*) oh wow, a dragon... I didn't know there were dragons in this game... (sarcasm)

[@themysteriousstranger4580]

YES I CONCUR I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS 120% APPROVAL RATING FROM THIS ONE

[@chanye7403]

Been waiting for this! You have officially made my day.

[@Artractive_]

YES! your soft spoken elders scrolls map video is my favourite of yours :) thank you for making another wonderful video!!

[@thogvii934]

I've been subbed for like a year now, and I can honestly say that you are probably my favorite asmr channel. I really want to see you get to 100,000 subs!!

[@theASMRnerd]

Thank you man, that means a lot! It's a long road to 100k, but we'll get there together :)

[@thedublinbanshee3310]

Just Skyrim? No morrowind? Cyrodil? Or even solistheim? HAIL MISTRESS NOCTURNAL!

[@guard6304]

The thieves guild. Should of known

[@ArticulateDesignASMR]

Man I've been listening to this while playing some hearthstone and honestly it's just the most perfect background / sleeping video. So interesting, but not punishing if you miss a little part of it. Great stuff!

[@theASMRnerd]

Thanks man, glad you think it strikes the right balance! Sometimes it's a hard line to walk...boring enough to be relaxing, but interesting enough to keep people listening :)

[@sheevpalpatine7178]

I love your skyrim videos! Learning about the lore of tes andddd getting tinglee at the same time. Hope to see more of these in the future! Keep it up my friend!

[@theASMRnerd]

Definitely more of these to come ^^

[@WyattCStaggers]

You are an ASMR work of art, thank you

[@ConnorRunda]

Yeeeessssss thank you so much for more TES content this made my night.

[@ASMRWeekly]

just found this channel, that intro! hhaa great. really liked the video, nice book!

[@yee2828]

I love all your elder scrolls videos nick!

[@Artractive_]

they should get peter jackson to make an elders scrolls movie.. maybe about Tiber Septim? I adore all the lord of the rings books and movies so i know their style is a little bit similar... that'd be so amazing

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

John Moon That assassins creed one recently wasn't awful, I didn't have high hopes because all other video game movies are terrible. I think uncharted would make a good movie, it's pretty much one anyway. Skyrim might not work though, because it's a game where you can roam freely, and a movie takes that away from you

[@loganr6203]

John Moon the reason they suck is that they never follow the story of the games film directors always feel that they should make there own work

[@ottofarkas3770]

Thanks for the great content , im staying for the week at my sisters house due to university but sadly alone, i miss my home and its been hard since i left but listening your reading session is really helps , so thank you again and keep safe :)

[@Tara-yu4qd]

soooo calming! thank you 👏

[@ChrisBreite]

i´ve waited so long for that :)

[@Blade_Heart]

I really like your ASMR game lore videos. It's a combination of two different things I watch on KZbin, and done well. Thanks!

[@theASMRnerd]

Hey, thanks! Glad you like what I do :)

[@AnonymityIx]

These aren't my favorites but a lot of people like them and you can't please all of the people all of the time. I still appreciate your hard work making these. Thank you

[@theASMRnerd]

You're right, and I really appreciate your support even though this isn't your thing. Thanks!!

[@PetrPatz2]

Right on schedule!

[@spectrumz115]

Yay I asked for this and my wish came true! I will definitely enjoy this video thanks!

[@theASMRnerd]

Happy to deliver :D

[@DonnaASMR]

Love the page turning! 😊

[@Aurora-rw9lp]

Hi donna :D

[@theASMRnerd]

Thanks Donna! Page turning sounds are always so lovely and crisp :)

[@kaylazegers4035]

This is the book I will use to teach my future children how to read.

[@theASMRnerd]

Your future children will be the world's youngest Elder Scrolls loremasters!

[@papapumpass2121]

I really needed this today thank you

[@theASMRnerd]

You're very welcome, hope it helped you :)

[@christinadering2987]

When your Elder Scrolls love won't let you sleep because you want to know everything 😂Great job as always 😊

[@theASMRnerd]

There's so much to know, you might never sleep again :P

[@moosebones568]

Great video as always

[@jesusavila1800]

Love these skyrim related videos

[@user-wo2qd7py1d]

Uploaded on my birthday! Fell asleep before I could comment.

[@WatashiwaJouhouDesu]

You can never go wrong with elder scrolls readings! :D

[@SamuelBaum]

Love these reading videos! I have the books as well, but it's so calming if you read them :p Question: are you going to make a soft-spoken Olivanders Wand unboxing? I'd love to see that from you!

[@theASMRnerd]

I can honestly say I had never thought about it before, so I'm not sure! I'll keep it in mind though :)

[@brenbo_TM]

Skyrim, d&d, and warhammer 40k are the three things that truly relax my soul

[@JoseHernandez-fi4mb]

Can you please make a whisper version of this? Pretty please!!!

[@gunnerdunn8848]

This was an educational video you have my thanks

[@ocularorb4021]

Please send a link to these books

[@kellireed4730]

My husband bought it for me for Christmas! I've loved having the histories on hand for quick reference :D

[@theASMRnerd]

Because you never know when you might need emergency Elder Scrolls facts to save the day!

[@DrunkNotIAm]

This was great, does there exist, a complete gathering of all the Skyrim texts in or multiple books? I'm going to look into these 3 books, but what i'm truly after the complete shabang.

[@theASMRnerd]

There was a fan project to edit them all and put them into a PDF, and I think you can still find that on the interwebs. If you want hardbound published official volumes though, these are them, and I don't think they're comprehensive.

[@moto.kitten]

Oh the nostalgic calms 👌🏻 reading is probably my favourite type of ASMR videos, add Skyrim and it's a match made! thanks again. Ps: I love the "Viking" feel to Skyrim, have you ever thought about visiting the Viking site in L'Anse-aux-meadows Canada?

[@theASMRnerd]

So glad you enjoyed it :D. I'd love to get to L'Anse aux Meadows one day...if I ever make it to the east coast, it'll be on my list :)

[@bocatatxorizo7144]

wow so opportune! thanks!!!!!

[@brardshepp]

Can someone please tell me where he got these lore books?!

[@ZyliceLiddell]

Lovely book! 😃👍

[@PetitSucreBlau]

Wonderful illustrations.You have a great ASMR voice. Very relaxing Zzz Zzz ♥

[@theASMRnerd]

Thank you Christine :D so glad you enjoyed it ^^

[@jddeluxe2242]

Would love to hear a soft spoken reading of some 90's video game magazines. Electronic Gaming Monthly, Nintendo Power, or GameFan are some great ones.

[@theASMRnerd]

That's actually a great idea! Not sure if any of my old gaming magazines still exist...I'll have to investigate the basement at my parents' place :P

[@ocularorb4021]

can u link this book? and infact link all Books in Description please

[@twistedscopegaming]

Curious if you picked this up from five below because we sell it there

[@peepokrumshark7996]

Don't forget about the witcher universe! that lore is just as good.

[@johnjoubert4235]

Can we get more of these?

[@natejayyy]

I gasped when I saw this video

[@ASMRGamingNews]

This is so informative! ^_^

[@theASMRnerd]

Gotta walk that line of relaxing and interesting :)

[@TheGeekyChef1190]

man. Awesome as always. I have a question. Do you play ESO? I've been pretty into it lately, although I'm still very low level haha.

[@TheGeekyChef1190]

Ps... this is asmr boosters' other channel

[@ASMRBoosters]

Master Nate and I'll comment and like from both channels ;)

[@courtneyoswald241]

Master Nate ESO was the worst thing to happen to the Elder Scrolls saga 😒

[@ASMRBoosters]

Courtney Oswald Apparently it's a very love it or hate it game. As someone who couldn't really get into the other games (not that they're bad by any means, just not my style), I rather enjoy eso. Mmorpgs are my style and even though some argue that it's gone downhill, I still think it's pretty fun. No final Fantasy though haha.

[@theASMRnerd]

I used to play, but haven't for quite some time. One of these days, maybe I'll go back it :)

[@Leebabins]

Was so excited! Started listening, and normal talking voice starts.... Les sigh.

[@theASMRnerd]

I have lots of whisper vids too! But I try to do a balance of whisper and soft-spoken.

[@BoxBop123]

Awwww yeah

[@Holydown1]

What do you use to record? Really high quality!

[@theASMRnerd]

Thanks! Are you asking about video or audio?

[@kbarmy1553]

Got to say best asmr in the world elder scrolls for life wooo wooo

[@ColeTrainStudio]

Dark Souls lore and Wither lore are just as good, and better for some.

[@ASMRBoosters]

CJ dark souls lore is amazing! Epicnamebro has some great non asmr videos. If asmrnerd did dark souls... I'd die lol

[@theASMRnerd]

I can't speak to Dark Souls lore, but I agree that Witcher lore is fantastic!

[@hermaeusmora424]

The second one is man, mer and beasts. i really can recomend this triology, i have it myself and i love it.

[@theASMRnerd]

Ah yes, thanks! I had forgotten. I will very likely pick it up :)

[@jacksomervellable]

good man!

[@R0ckmans]

I thought that the dragon break was about alternate timelines somehow intertwining... It was used to explain how every ending of Daggerfall is canon, I don't remember much else about it.

[@theASMRnerd]

Could be...I thought they called that the Warp in the West though? My Daggerfall lore is a bit fuzzy.

[@tjc7773]

Reading of Lusty Argonian Maid when? 😆

[@theASMRnerd]

I've got an idea, you'll see :D

[@matheusw.1264]

Awesome game, awesome video!

[@theASMRnerd]

Thanks!

[@AmellsGrace]

IIRC The dragon break is a daggerfall thing as is the numidium. You can end up giving the numidium to different people and because bethesda doesn't like a canon ending they sorta...all happened. At the same Time. The dragon break is referencing how Akatosh Himself break as the player gave the numidium to like 5 different people at the same time. Apparently after an unknown timeframe all the timelines collapsed in on themselves and the end result of each happened. This could also be called "Bad writing" but :p

[@nastynacho1]

BumbleBee Tuna! I hope we get a new Skyrim walkthrough 😆👍👟🐑🐓🌲🎂🍻⛺🌜❄🔥🎄🎯🎵📃

[@theASMRnerd]

There will be a new Skyrim wander soon-ish :)

[@Aurora-rw9lp]

well done :33

[@theASMRnerd]

Thanks :D

[@melynmihoci2938]

*VIOLENT AND EXCITED SQUEE*

[@christophersykora3601]

More!

[@nastynacho1]

if you double tap screen on right side it FFs 10s left side Rewinds 10s

[@NNNSSSCCC]

I have it set to 5 seconds

[@Duzael]

I like the asmr reading of lore books, which is why I would like to ask if you are a fan of the Warhammer Fantasy/40K fandoms? The fluff and flavor text of the Warhammer series runs deeps. Dragon age series as well. Much respect and appreciation for this Vid.

[@theASMRnerd]

Thanks, glad you like the vid! I used to play Warhammer, both fantasy and 40K, though it's been many years. Perhaps one day though, I'll do something WH lore-related :)

[@gamingceez7844]

Skyrim best game ever

[@izaaccabral9685]

Looks like a good game

[@theASMRnerd]

So good.

[@fallouttales5915]

i took volume 3 of the Skyrim library to school and I was reading about the dark brotherhood and I got weird looks by people

[@theASMRnerd]

Hey man, you do you.

[@calmguru1274]

Hey fellow viewers, just a reminder to like the video and give positive feedback so we can show our support.

[@theASMRnerd]

OHAIO MINA!

[@sif7277]

[@theASMRnerd]

A remarkable coincidence!

[@ocularorb4021]

I have th is book and I souls like it if he made one of these but you can more easily read along

[@sander8565]

Why is the thumbnail so pixelated?

[@elliott7890]

damn build a bear advert man

[@onyxvoiceacting9520]

Skyrim is SIX YEARS old. SIX. Blimey, i feel old

[@brittbrann5797]

😭 sour patch commercial with air horns... At least I have the whole video to get to sleep

[@theASMRnerd]

y u do dis KZbin? I hope the vid helps calm you down now :P

[@adrian-ci5uc]

I'm not a nerd but I'm not gonna lie that book looks awesome

[@KrazeBoyy]

A.J. You don't have to be a nerd to like books/books like this, in fact I wish I was a nerd if that meant being smarter haha I'm kidding.

[@theASMRnerd]

Don't deny your true nature, bask in your nerdhood.

[@KrazeBoyy]

theASMRnerd haha yes he must let it out of his inner self..

[@ASMRWeekly]

yess same, want that book

[@kelvinblack9354]

What is this book and where can I waste my money on it?

[@theASMRnerd]

Title is in the description, and it's available on Amazon :)

[@JenoV04]

You lucky man 😂

[@guard6304]

Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?

[@vinpalmeida]

Holy shit I need that book. Don't walk with it on the street, you might lose it.

[@theASMRnerd]

You could go to the work of hunting me down and mugging me for it. Oooor you could buy it on Amazon for $20. Your call.

[@vinpalmeida]

***** Wow that's pretty cheap for it's quality. I loved the illustrations too. Well guess no stealing today.

[@theASMRnerd]

Another crime averted by...CAPTAIN RATIONALITY!

[@RainingSpaceMarine]

I guess the no one's going to point out the fact that 'The Lusty Argonian Maid' is under history for whatever reason. I didn't even know it was a piece of nonfiction but there you go.

[@theASMRnerd]

I think I know what I'm gonna do for April Fools...

[@RainingSpaceMarine]

Well don't spoil it so soon lol. "Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time."

[@calebeatherton3095]

Still watching in 2024

[@bennettsteifman8632]

Well shit, i'm early... wait never mind, crap

[@worldwidewebster6224]

What lies beyond tamriel? Has a game gone beyond the continent? The whole world is called nirn and tamriel is the part of the world that everything we've seen (to my knowledge) is a part of. I'm curious about what races live there and what government's rule there.

[@ryansampson1475]

note: paper flipping sounds are mad

[@ASMRWeekly]

yessss

[@QzFeeDz1]

Hey could you do a fallout video?

[@Doodlefart132]

lmao i was just reading that before

[@Doodlefart132]

oh and i changed my name from doodlefart to suhdude lol

[@theASMRnerd]

I figured, your icon is still the same :D

[@justablokewithamitsubishi6037]

Skyrim is for CHAD GAMERS only

[@ocarinag33k]

Still as beautiful of a man as ever.

[@thedublinbanshee3310]

Do me a favor and say you killed nazeem. I didn't myself, cause I'm not an idiot. I want to, but my rep. Is more important than his death.

[@BlueDragonKnight77]

Just kill him during the period where you transform into a werewolf in the middle of Whiterun during the Companion questline, works every time. I'd also kill this annoying priest while at it x3

[@thedublinbanshee3310]

Already did that quest, I stopped making new characters. That's real agony, going through the tutorial over and over again.

[@BlueDragonKnight77]

+STORMAGEDDON 711 Pc or Console gamer? If you're on Pc I'd recommend the Alternate Start mod, where you can choose how you want to begin your game, as a traveller, a servant of a necromancer, a mercenary, pretty much everything. Gets rid of the whole tutorial thing ^^

[@thedublinbanshee3310]

Both, I have that mod, the problem I that I can't have 7 different characters like in ESO or Fallout 4. Someone make a mod that does that.

[@thedublinbanshee3310]

Downloaded about 683 mods now, 311 are nexus, 333 are Workshop, the rest are from other websites. Did NMM crash or something?

[@kooldood3107]

First

[@theASMRnerd]

☼CERTIFIED FIRST☼

[@kooldood3107]

ᅚ I think I'm going to go pro. I'll live on KZbin while eating only Cheetos and drinking only vodka and comment on every video to get first comment.

[@theASMRnerd]

Good call. You have a real future there.

[@nastynacho1]

ClashOfPanda did that got heart failure dont do it lol

[@LegendaryLugias]

Why does the thumbnail look crazy out of focus??

[@bennettsteifman8632]

Taylor no it doesn't

[@theASMRnerd]

No idea. Two people have said it looks really pixelated, but it looks fine to me, and other people have said it looks OK. Just a weird YT glitch I guess. Where did you see it that it looks really fuzzy?
