Aedra: Here are some scrolls. They will give you knowlege, but you will go blind. Dwemer: How about we take that knowlege AND our sight. Aedra: sigh

[@redspade2303]

or who knows, the elder scrolls might actually refer to the saved game files... whenever you save the game, you create a new scroll... whatever's been done in that, can no longer be changed in the same way the past is fixed... unless that scroll (saved game) is replaced with another scroll (overwritten)...

[@jermycarmichael4121]

Red Spade ^^^^^

[@sirbillius]

I created an elder scroll that shows the death of most of the inhabitance of Whiterun?! I mourne whoever reads that one.

[@wu1ming9shi]

according to that logic there are 1095 different scrolls in skyrim atm. XD

[@insiditious6203]

wu1ming9shi MORE!!! A scroll is made for every saved game ever in any elder scroll game and beyond.. the elderscroll u read for insight to the dragonrend shout was simply a very skilled Bethesda employee’s saved beta game where he just defeated Alduin in an unreleased elder scrolls game installment: TES -5 the dragon war

[@splatterkat3838]

This is probably the best explanation for what the scrolls could be that I’ve read.

[@timothym2011]

the elder scrolls are a physical manifestation of what we experience in the game as a player it is truely up to us what they really say

[@ImperialKnowledge]

timothym2011 That is actually a pretty good summary, shame I did not come up with it hahahah

[@JukeboxTheGhoul]

Which explains how Daggerfall has multiple endings?

[@redskull2011]

Neptune Productions no that happened because of a dragon brake

[@Kosai87]

I like to think that an elder scrolls game (morrowind, oblivion...) its like an elder scrolls that contains the history of an important hero (nerevarine, dovahkiin...) its a CD that has all the information and the diverses futures that could happen depending on the hero actions. That's why the game itself it's calles "the Elder Scrolls"

[@michhanesh5466]

So, we the players are readers of elder scrolls huh?? does that mean we are all mad? yes, i think so

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Hi commenters! While you are at it, please tell me what you think of my new outro and the video in general! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@nathanwebb5511]

Thanks, Really enjoyed it. I wish the games had more.

[@lukeparham3295]

Imperial Knowledge The outro is great! And I very much liked this video, it gave me an idea for a character build...

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Nice!

[@PrinsaVossum]

In another video I saw, the person mentioned that Lorkhan might actually be a Daedric Prince, with his realm of Oblivion being Tamriel. I'd really like to see a more in-depth video about it.

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Kubo Edgeworth hmhm... indeed... that is something worth researching

[@nervousdog6907]

Your accent help's give the videos personality. Your stutter is something everyone has to deal with so don't worry I have a stutter as well. I bet some people were mean about it but honestly it is a good thing to do. This video was great! Keep up the good work!

[@pancakemix3251]

Just do you man. I never minded the stuttering.

[@princeinflames-6267]

You have definitely improved a lot; great video and do keep up the good work.

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Thanks!

[@wu1ming9shi]

yeah, indeed. and your english well... i kom van dezelfde kanten dus ik begrijp heel goed ho moeilijk het is ome goed verstaanbaar engels te praten. Ik ben heel goed in engels schrijven maar als het op spreken aankomt, well, het loopt niet zo goed af. heh

[@JacobSmith-uo1fx]

You make some entertaining videos man. No one is perfect so don't let people give you shit for not saying something right. I've noticed that's a thing. Your videos have helped a lot

[@Spierzy53]

The thing about all possible features being true until they happen is kinda like the Schrödingers cat problem. Keep these videos coming.

[@ImperialKnowledge]

I will, thanks!

[@norwegiannightmare8843]

The elder scrolls are so complex. They are a good focal point of the series because just as all possible futures are true, whatever choices you make in the game are cannon to the player.

[@wiebsterbanaan919]

Your lore videos are amazing! Keep up the good work. P.S. leuk dat je ook nog eens een nederlander bent hehehe

[@GreyRonin92]

I wonder if the Altmer also have a way of reading the scrolls. If the Dwemer and the Imperials can figure it out, you'd have thought that the High Elves (especially the Psijic Order) would be able to come up with their own method.

[@dylanzipperer7103]

Love your videos man, keep them coming

[@downofdead12]

Great channel ! Appreciate your work. I found your channel recently and i must say that the videos are very informative. Thanks mate. (Sorry for misspelling or mistakes in gramma, but i am German and so English ist not my native language :) )

[@TheKazuhiro28]

Greetings from Brazil!! Great video!! :D

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Greetings from the Netherlands! If you want to know what our country is like, see this video hahaha kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHTYlIyce86bgdU

[@nicholasloremann4741]

Imperial Knowledge Greetings from Norway! Good video this feeds my hunger on elder scrolls lore!

[@gustavosilva2115]

Brazilian/American here!

[@Ryz414]

Really like your videos.

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Thanks!

[@furycarnategaming]

The Kels are fragments of creation, sign posts to the possiblities of the many branching paths that can be walked.

[@paulgrattan8172]

The Scrolls also allow those who are destined to read them to read them or use them without any ill effects.

[@dangray1362]

Your videos are great and Very informative.

[@lordvaldi1]

Dwemer got glasses, Damn moth priest dont that's why they Go blind ... Such primitive why of ready an elder scroll

[@HighFalutinTootin]

It would be cool if someone made a mod for skyrim that in a cave deep underground they find a deadric ruin that connects to a dwemer ruin that connects to vault 21 in new Vegas but the middle part of the vault is blocked by the concrete that the NCR or mr house had poured into it to stop the flow of dwemer automatons and deadra from escaping into the strip that would be a cool mod

[@AstralGaming99]

Another great lore video.

[@ImperialKnowledge]

AstralGaming99 Thanks!

[@mysticranger6894]

Really like that globe picture of nirn

[@Aramithius]

One additional note that I don't think I saw in the video: Elder Scrolls cannot be read during Dragon Breaks. Exactly what that means, we don't know, but it's another bizarre wrinkle to them.

[@justmaartenFTW]

Ik kan duidelijk horen dat je nederlands bent. Goede video's man, ga zo door! fijn om een mede elder scrolls lore nerd te vinden uit eigen land!

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Je moest eens weten hoe veel Nederlanders er kijken, ik ben al meerdere malen ontmaskerd

[@justmaartenFTW]

We zouden een subreddit aan moeten maken xD

[@Kebab_with_extra_garlic_mayo]

we zijn er overal :P

[@thatsuckyhalorevewer]

I want to see a video on Guar and shit. Some exotic animals would be cool to learn about

[@friedupchicken5948]

Great video!

[@snazzydrew]

very good video and you earn a sub from me! i always like to say that they the elder scrolls are just literally the whole game shoved into one object.

[@dylanhopkinskelly266]

So the events of skyrim could be a vision of an elder scroll since its so far in the future

[@justsomeoneincanada7162]

What if the elder scrolls games are just someone in the future reading a elder scroll.

[@zaidahram2018]

how did septimus signus get affected without having an elder scroll

[@darth_sidious_sheev_palpatine]

the Elder Scrolls were created from Sheogorath when he tried tapping into the foreknowledge of jiggalad, but became corrupted by his madness.

[@jacknooney8988]

Great video

[@dr.unreliable2221]

how can i drop the elder scrolls in skyrim

[@James11111]

You can give them Devion or Urag. Alternatively, if you want to keep them, there's house mods that have displays for them. Other than that, I don't think you can remove them from your inventory.

[@noahchmielewski1347]

The Elder Scrolls lore of the Elder Scrolls from the Elder Scrolls

[@telomettotittettori8218]

good video!

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Thanks!

[@terrorbilly3367]

i think that elder scrolls are schemes of universe created by magnus and lefted on beggining of time when he was escaping to aetherius

[@norwegiannightmare8843]

Ysmir PL I like that theory, but I imagine they are older than Magnus. Maybe older than sithus

[@redskull2011]

Norwegian nightmare although wasn't sithis among the first?

[@berkan7662]

The elder scrolls are just "I think this will happen, or that" but more complicated

[@СтефанДобрев-я4ф]

At 1:33 you can go blind

[@destiny-1831]

[@youy5188]

[@johnrussell3752]

Why does a blind man who is enslaved to vampires walking around with a sword?

[@Oorillon]

In other words. all Possibilities of the world exists within the BlazBlue ... ähm, the Elder Scrolls :D

[@Paradise_Lost]

reminds me some of quantum mechanic...

[@stijnwildeboer8809]

but then, how do you explain the fact that Talos changed history, in fact he changed the history of all of cyrodill to become a grassland instead of a jungle in the past, present and future upon Chiim. Can someone explain this?

[@Aramithius]

The Elder Scrolls don't describe everything, just specific parts and possibilities within the Aurbis. It's entirely possible to manipulate the bits of history that aren't mentioned in the Scrolls, I imagine. And, because of what CHIM means, I doubt that those who attain it would want to alter those things outlined by the Scrolls.

[@stijnwildeboer8809]

Aramithius So, you mean that in no elder scroll the actual look of Cyrodiil is never described?

[@Aramithius]

Stijn Wildeboer That would be my understanding. Elder Scrolls don't describe places (from what we've seen), they describe Events.

[@McSkydrow1]

So that basically means, the Elder Scrolls are completely useless for seeing into the future? Because if one can see anything at any time they are as good as a group of humans with different opinions of the future...they are really only usefull for looking into the past. Or did I got something completely wrong?

[@nutcrackit7396]

in essence yes and no. Think of it as alternate time dimensions. These are created at every moment of time and can only be described as infinite. Every possibility in that moment happens. The elder scrolls lets you look into these future events seemingly at random(we have no true way of knowing what or how it is determined what you see) It shows a possibility for your timeline that you live in as the player which is dictated by your actions.

[@nutcrackit7396]

for anyone that wants to understand how this is different from a dragonbreak. a dragonbreak does have multiple time events happening at once but the thing is they all happen within the same timeline and all exist at once afterward in the same timeline.

[@theimperialbattlemage3409]

Little known fact: reading the Elder Scrolls can also damage the mind, as stated by Septimus Signus. Edit: didn't see that you said that in the video. Disregard this comment.

[@Kamina-brah]

Quantum Mechanics Scrolls

[@scorpiothegreat1]

Finally!

[@justsomeoneincanada7162]

Are the elder scrolls called the elder scrolls because the elder scrolls are called the elder scrolls because the elder scrolls are called the elder scrolls?

[@viciousrage5548]

How come the main character can read elder scrolls, yet everyone else requires training or they become blind?

[@SterbenCyrodill]

I think it is because of the Dragon soul inside you

[@osmowen]

Angel Tirado Honestly, it's probably because you being blind would ruin the game. But if we want to keep the immersion we should stick to the gods not wanting you blind explanation.

[@preludetodemise]

ive watched a few videos by you and you're great however i think most of your problems like stuttering and pauses would be settled with writing a script and practicing, it sounds like youre reading off a script which is good it always good to have a plan however it sounds like you do it all in one take i think if you practiced a script a few more times before recording you'd come off way more natural sounding

[@ImperialKnowledge]

doctor death defying I tried that with this video and I cut out most of the stuttering. It is still not perfect but better than most video's. The problem is though that I don't have that much time to make video's. I do this channel as a hobby so I only upload when I have time, but even when I have time it is kinda limited so practicing my script a few times is most of the time not possible. But I will try to do it in the future when I do have enough time :)

[@preludetodemise]

Imperial Knowledge yeah time is never on anyones side, I'm sure as you make more videos you'll get better at it, im not saying you're bad I enjoyed this video, but as with anything practice makes perfect, a year from now if you're still making videos you'll look back on this and laugh.

[@JukeboxTheGhoul]

Does this mean ESO broke the Elder Scroll Lore by changing the past?

[@James11111]

The scrolls can't handle Dragon Breaks. So can probably sweep it under that rug.

[@1090elias]

Lol schrödinger's elder scrolls

[@mardtdevisser1189]

your dutch!!!!

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Mardt de visser Misschien

[@mardtdevisser1189]

haha. je hebt goeie videos. but i think when you speak its sounds like your not excited or having fun with your videos. my tip is try to put more of your personality in the video doesnt mean go full pewdiepie but try to be yourself a bit more. maar voor de rest goeie infomatie het is duidelijk en je eddit ook goed. je ziet dat je veel tijd in je videos stopt. keep em coming!!!!

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Mardt de visser haha that is probably because my voice seems to be quite monotone. But I will try, another reason why it could be is because I am reading a script haha

[@Halvos12]

Wow, that sounds completely useless.
