I feel the lore on the reachmen was never fully padded out in Skyrim, they could have done so much more to flesh them out in game.

[@sandeman1776]

I would've joined that faction. Could've been cool to hook it loosely into the Companions' quests. At least the werewolf thing giving you legitimacy to them.

[@GunGun-cf3ss]

I would have loved if the factions reacted to you like the ncr/legion in fonv so they would sometimes attack you if you are a member of the other side

[@badluck5647]

ESO made them generic "evil" enemies until Dark Heart of Skyrim where they became more interesting characters with a fleshed out culture.

[@Samzillah]

Yeah especially after you do the quest with madanach it would have been nice to have more quests related to that and help them out and learn from them.

[@kozagong]

Hircine is my favorite Daedric Prince because he's not necessarily evil or good, he's just consistently fair and is more for the thrill of the hunt rather than worship. Also Werebeasts are cool and his boons are really worth while.

[@graysonofthewood3747]

I spat out my drink. This was the funniest moment of the podcast by far 😂😂

[@venomtheallmighty69]

Just as a bear climbs a tree to escape the hunt but ends up trapping himself.

[@wizardswine]

I actually love the inclusion of Aspect of Strength/The Bear, he is described as "seeking rest from labours" and takes offerings of mead in return for strength. I rly love this as it ties in so nicely with the sport aspects of Hircine, the hunt can be a form of fun and escapism, also likely encapsulates the reverly before and after a good hunt. Also ngl hircine's hunting grounds is even stated to have lodges, so ngl sounds pretty cool.

[@sav6955]

In my head canon Hircine is just a bloke whose only goal in the godhead is to get on the beers and hunt with his mates after getting heartbroken at the beginning of creation... and cracks it when some Nord dude starts slaughtering were-beasts like Ysgramor wiping out the Snow elves.

[@Hamilgame]

[@sparticusfinch8588]

It's between Hircine and Sanguine for my favorite Daedric Prince. Hircine's sphere always felt the most fitting for Skyrim. When you're first coming out of Helgen, an encounter with a sabercat usually means death. But later on I actively hunt the beast, slaying them with ease. From the hunted to the hunter. Perhaps that's his connection to Mehrunes Dagon; prey becoming predator is a form of revolution. Sanguine is my favorite simply because his quest in Skyrim is hilarious, and the pocket realm you visit at the end is my favorite area in the game.

[@bacd-nn2lg]

"So...you are the one. You have escaped my hounds and beaten back the other challengers. I had rather expected the giant to prevail, but no matter. You have proven yourself a worthy hunter, and you have earned the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a mortal: you are to be my prey." "I ask you, though: what is it that makes a hunter great. Is it his strength? The speed with which he strikes? Or is it his guile, the ability to outwit his prey? Answer me, mortal, and decide your fate." "What is the hunter's greatest strength?" - Strength? - Speed? - Guile?

[@Ed_man_talking9]

Guile; speed and strength are useless if you don't know how to use it properly.

[@chriswandell3570]

[@gabrielhoran4525]

To Hunt a Were-Creature is to invite a higher challenge. Hircine is that higher challenge

[@antonakesson]

I like how both the Reachmen and Khajiit has it that Lorkahn as a connection with Namira and her void. Wonder how strong she truly is.

[@personagrand5674]

Hircine was my favourite Daedric Prince ever since I started watching Elder Scrolls lore. The Ethereal Hunter was also my first proper build in Skyrim, so that adds to my absolute love for this Prince

[@chriswandell3570]

Vile comes in with some dice "hey boys, wanna play a game?" Hircine looks at Vile and shakes his head "nah, I wanna hunt a hero" Mehrunes Dagon just shrugs " I just wanna mess some stuff up and see what falls out...." "see ya next week brothers"

Hopefully they do one on Akatosh and his connection to Lorkhan like with how both Ysmir and Tiber Septum were Shezzarine and Dragonborn

[@YouTubecanfuckagoat]

It’ll probably pay a nodding aside to the old Smaug himself.

[@Strellok100]

Dagon has the most influence on Nirn. Even the smallest possible things bring change. No day is the same as the previous one.

[@warhammeronlinenut]

The mention of 5-point might also be an identifier to the prongs on his antlers

[@ShadowProject01]

And one correction, Skior. Skior embraced his werewolf state but still died by the Silver Hand .

[@narvuntien]

I imagine that Hircine is often challenging other daedric princes and giving over the spear of bitter mercy when he loses. Daedric prince of fair sport.

Eyyyy my second favorite Daedric prince. I love the lore, and the primal feel to him. He's not good or evil, he's simply a sportsman. I love his artifacts, his connections to Lycanthropy, his interactions with other gods, and especially his interactions with mortals.

I am so glad you’re doing a podcast on the most aesthetically pleasing Daedric Prince! Much love from Sydney Australia 🥰

[@XJonAye]

By Ysmirs beard, I'm early, good show chaps, thanks for the quality content

[@otokhan9679]

In my opinion Hircine might be the strongest Daedric lord now since he can actually force himself into mundus while the other lords take for example Dagon needed the mythic dawn to summon him. Heck he even has the bloodmoon prophecy which happens every era. No other daedric lord has more direct intervention in terms of scale and frequency to mundus than Hircine.

[@wizardswine]

I mean if daedra get power from their sphere being made manifest, there is A LOT of hunting in mundus. So he might be way stronger than it seems, he just doesn't have the destructive tendencies of the rest. But I choose to believe for some reason the blood moon gives him MASSIVE power for a short time. Plus the bloodmoon prophecy is very much typical of him, it's not like Molag Bal or Dagon where it's like "I will kill and subjugate you all, flee or die mortals!". It's more like "Here is a challenge, a great hunt, survive, fight, take part or die".

[@thenewwaydevil]

michael, much respect for you brother. your deep esoteric thoughts are not lost on all of us.

[@bigode9743]

Just to add to the primordial links to Hircine, i saw a theory that talked about his influence in the criation of Nirn. Basiclly it goes about the fact that Trinimac hunting down Lorkhan could've had the hand of Hircine. Knowging that you could also add the whole ceremony with ripping the heart of the prey (Lorkhan) and how that mimics what we see in the Briarheart rituals and so on.

[@wizardswine]

Excellent point actually.

[@LydiaKrow]

Is it appropriate to like and comment on this video before I've watched more than a minute? I hope so, because that is what I did. I was so excited to see this on my feed - love the Hircine mythos and stories in Elder Scrolls, stoked for this video!

[@angbandsbane]

Random thought: as much as Bethesda likes to use pop culture reference Easter Eggs, it's kind of a surprise they've never (to my knowledge) done anything with Hircine and the Predators/Yautja. Both are *all* about honorable hunts and whatnot.

[@gerbenvanegmond4007]

Waking up and seeing a notification that y'all has have another ES video is the greatest thing that can happen to a man! Also, Hircine might be like some people: wants to play fair, but still hates losing (I'm referring to the part of Icehammer)

I think Hircine is the only Daedric prince I would worship IRL, he's super cool.

[@wisildur]

Interesting parts At 00:55 : Michael explains who is herseen...the Daedric prince of the (thrill) of the (helen) hunt. He's worshipped in a sense that his attitude reflects human nature. You know: killing for sport. 03:15- 05:15: To Scott and Drew, Herseen is very fairplay and does not give a damn about obsequious fans. 07:50 - 08:10 : Drew explains that herseen is quite likely to shred you, but at least he will say thank you 08:15 - 13:12 : A hot debate about how Daddy herseen can be a total dick sometimes. At the end of the day, herseen is a daedric prince bitch ! 13:15 - 15:05 : Scott and his glorious companions show us how that herseen has a rich wardrobe. 15:10 - 16:11 : Drew explains the origin story of Herseen and his ridiculous Elk-head (Fuck Yffre) 17:13 - 19:10 Michael describes the four signs that precedes the great hunt (bloodmoon prophecy) in Solstheim. A discussion ensued about the fact that only one champion will emerge. At the end of the day, we understand that herseen can be very fairplay. 19:40 - 22:35 About the companions super curse ! At the end of the day, we know that accepting lycanthropy can extend your life but is not like....super cool. If you think about it. 26:45 - 29:30 Drew explains the possible connection between Herseen and Merhunes Dagon....and perhaps Clavicus Vile. 29:35 - 30:30 A short discussion about how Sheogorath screwed herseen. (#sixteenaccordsofmadness) INTERLUDE; Artificats, artifacts, artifaaaacts. AAAAAND it's gone ! 36:25 - 37:30 : A discussion about how Herseen can be seen as a kind of Mister Burns Daedra. 39:35 : 41:15 About Savior's hide. The armor cuirasse forged from herseen's hide that looks cool on a Bosmer girl but not on a Dude ! Dude ! Duh !

[@Philluminati0n]

On the Companions: I feel like the curse they suffer from is a perfectly fair consequence when you look at it from the perspective of an infinite being like Hircine. The Harbinger who bargained with the Glemoril Witches for the beast-blood thought that he would receive something for nothing; a concept that could be seen as an affront to Hircine's teachings. So instead of just cursing the man who offended him, he curses the whole organization so that they never forget the price one pays for crossing the Lord of the Hunt.

To start this character off, you'll want to go where you can get the Ironhand Gauntlets, not only will you get yourself a pair of steel nord style gauntlets that fortify your Two Handed skill by 15 points but you should also be able to get yourself a full set of steel armor along with it. Just expect a possibly difficult fight. As for your weapon, you may want to use the Bound Battleaxe spell to help keep yourself light on your feet but also help increase your Conjuration skill to help soul trap enemies early on as well as your Two Handed skill to get those perks and increase its damage overall. You can also use Bound Bow if you like to reach those long distance enemies but this character focuses mostly on up-close-and-personal approaches. If not interested in using Bound weapons, you could instead invest on summoning or in this case reanimation thanks to conjuring Wrathmen by which you'll need Summoner, Necromancy, Dark Souls, and Twin Souls to have better use for it. You can also summon Mistmen and Bonemen for magical and ranged support should you like as well. For your enchantments, you'll be wanting to focus on enchantments that increases your Health and/or Stamina, fortify your Heavy Armor, Block, Conjuration, and/or Two Handed skill, and possibly your Magicka regeneration. Don't worry about your Health and Stamina regeneration for Umbra can cover that easily with it absorbing 25 of both attributes per hit. Mainly with your enchantments you either want to be a mixture of a heavy duty slaughterhouse, or a warrior with a soulless undead army behind him. As for your race you have your options; The Breton which comes with a 25% Magic resistance which is great should you deal with mages and their damned frost magic or against Umbra himself and it comes with a daily power to instead absorb 50% of any offensive spell into your own pool of Magicka for 60 seconds and you start off with a good +10 to Conjuration so there's also that as a boost. Another good race is the Nord where you instead have 50% Frost resistance which like I said about frost mages can really suck, you can perform a Battle Cry once per day to cause enemies to flee for 30 seconds once per day, and you gain a +10 to your Two Handed skill and a +5 to Smithing which is twice as good when it comes to skill gain. Finally for your Standing Stone, you'll be starting off with the Warrior to help boost your warrior skills, or you could go for the Mage to help with your Conjuration and Enchanting skills. Once you're comfortable with your stats, we're either going after the Lord Stone for that extra protection, the Lady Stone for that quick Health and Stamina regen, or follow the ancient ways of the FudgeMuppet and go for the Atronach Stone. Not like you'll be doing much spell casting other than possibly soul trapping, bound weapon or soul cairn summoning since after all your attributes will be focused mainly on 50% Health and 50% Stamina.

[@kodywatts6886]

[@drewwilson8756]

Hircine is essentially the domain of competition which is as old as change itself

[@midshipman8654]

a word for him instead of moral might be principled. also, glad you brought up the potential problem of loosing some of the immediacy if you know there is no finality in the hunt and you will respawn. I think thats an insightful observation. I agree, that mortal peril does seem like it should be an essential aspect .

[@lemonlefleur6236]

I imagine the killing of Icehammer was less about revenge and more along the lines of “Oop, some dude just hunted the hunter. I’m taking that as an invitation to the hunt” in the sense that hunting were creatures without the permission of Hircine is a challenge to Hircine in which you and he take the roles of Predator and Prey (Though Hircine surely would have the advantage)

[@kaithelad2877]

Yay! My birthday and my favorite podcast AND my favorite Daedric prince!

[@pedigreeann]

'Ur-' is a German prefix meaning "primitive, primaeval, early." Urmensch =early man (in the person sense of 'man'). An earlier form of ur- was aur-, from which we get Aurochs = Aur (primitive)- ochs (ox). Like the team from Besaid.

[@seifer447]

Vykosa is a Werewolf Lord. I think she is a Khajiit who has lupine features in her base form. I'm unsure if she can transform, though.

[@-divinetragedy]

Hircine has so many cool artifacts

[@CodyORyan]

I think the blood moon during sindings hunt is the lesser moon iirc

[@ColourizeTheStreets]

Good point about the princes not always following their spheres. I think a lot of people forget or don't know that the spheres the princes inhabit didn't exist when the princes were born. There was no nature, no forests, no wild beasts to hunt when Hircine came to being. Dawn and Dusk only exist because Magnus created the sun. Daedric princes merely claimed facets of existence and reality, they didn't create them. These princes had their own personalities before their spheres existed and merely claimed the spheres they liked the most, they are in no way bound to embody them. They are like real Monarchs who try to represent the laws of the land.

[@finalbreath15]

Interesting how Hircine and Nocturnal don't want to be prayed to in the traditional sense like other Daedric princes, since they both have interensic value in man/mer's daily lives via the desire to challenge oneself to the hunt, or wish oneself luck. Seems like they have more of a "natural" way of manifesting themselves *within* man or mer. It's almost as if they are only receptive to the will of the people they interact with, rather than seeking out man for their bidding.

[@wizardswine]

It might also make them more powerful, hence their more common manifestations.

I've always related to Hircine the most in the philosophy of his form and function

[@ciaranmck4469]

so you like waking up and go around killing animals in the woods? the gods in elder scrolls are cool af but the way their portrayed aren't that good play hellblade because they way they based their game off the real Norse gods is fucking sick

[@wizardswine]

@@ciaranmck4469 I think if you strip away the surface Hircine is a good of constant higher challenge. To Hircine this is rather literal "Hunt the strongest and succeed in killing them, and enjoy the process." But you can take it to mean constant challenge and conflict to prove yourself if you apply it less literally.

It is possible that Hircine was pissed off at Thane Icehammer because of the manner in which he killed those werewolves - him killing multiple werewolves without realizing they where werewolves would make more sense if he did it indirectly, through using a pit trap or a rockfalll or shooting them while they where sleeping or something, which might annoy Hircine for being unsportsmanlike.
