The Story of Skyrim's Sea Giants - The Elder Scrolls Lore

[@ImperialKnowledge]

I eh... made a lot of videos in the past few days. And more to come (I have some time on my hands, coming together with having several videos near completion). So I decided to push this one out now, in the middle of the week. Because why not, supply is booming! Right now on my patreon I put the videos for the next weekend and next mid-week (or weekend) in Early access. So subscribe to the patreon for early access on those, but they will come soon, so no pressure! Patreon link: www.patreon.com/ImperialKnowledge

Glad to see your still making videos even after almost a decade cant wait to see how much more this channel grows.

[@pacosalvs13]

I love how tiny lore beats like the existence of sea giants opens the door for many questions and could bring huge lore implications

[@dragonlordblazer13]

Right? Like, imagine a group of Half Giants showing up declaring that they are in fact the true descendants of Isgramor and deciding to wage war on Skyrim

[@pacosalvs13]

@@dragonlordblazer13 that would be so cool!

[@booniebound7793]

A sea giant raid on Dawnstar is exactly what the creation club should've been.

[@kxmmissar_krieg7754]

Good to see someone talk about them! We need more coverage of the less talked-about about creatures of The Elder Scrolls

[@saalok]

Imperial Knowledge pretty much carries the franchise in terms of less talked about stuff in KZbin thankfully

[@dalewilson2741]

The word creature is kinda insensitive in this case

[@JaceMorley]

Tinfoil hat: What if Sea Giants are the survivors of Atmora, and Nords are descended from them? So Nords are Nedes with Sea Giant (Atmoran) blood, like Bretons are Nedes with Aldmeri blood.

[@SM-ew6pb]

I really do hope that ES6 would be in High-rock and we'll see giants again in bordering with the Skyrim regions

[@Thecrucialdruggy]

I hope it’s an explorable Nirn, planetary size

[@tripalink]

@@Thecrucialdruggy theres NO WAY it will be that. its already confirmed highrock/hammerfell. also we have Elder Scrolls Online for that. maybe like elder scrolls 10 will be that. but even eso doesnt have Akavir and stuff. theres no way they will strech es6 that thin.

[@gobbo1917]

Personally the only thing I hope from elder scrolls 6 is that they expand on the races, like letting us play some half races and ultimately the ability to play it on something that's not just PC or xbox, I don't think the one of the biggest RPGs should be exclusive 😅

[@tripalink]

@@gobbo1917 it will not be on play station. Also half races don't really exist in the elder scrolls they take on the race of their mother. Except for the Bretons who are a race of half breeds. Specifically a mix of humans and elves

[@tripalink]

@@gobbo1917 I do think they might add some new races. Specifically sea elves feel likely since they are decently prominent in the lore and in eso

[@NovoCognition]

The Atmora theory is quite interesting. It would be quite intriguing if there was ever to be a story about a Tamrielic ship and crew either crashing their or going on a summer expedition there in the 2nd, 3rd, and/or 4th eras.

[@smuggrog9821]

The Sea Giants could also be living in an unknown islands in the Sea of Ghost, we know that large islands like Solstheim and Roscrea exist there so the giant could be inhabiting similar islands in the Sea of Ghosts. surprised we don't have any Breton legends about Sea Giants either since cities like Farrun, Northpoint, and Jehanna would be vulnerable to Sea Giant raids to due to how close they are to the the Sea of Ghosts.

[@kiba3x]

Or maybe underwater caves?

[@mygetawayart]

Surprised no Breton on the Sea of Ghosts has ever managed to strike a deal with them, giving them regular shipments of wood and other building materials, maybe harboring them if the sea is too rough or frozen over in exchange for a small contingent of personal bodyguards against Orc and Nord invaders. Seems like they could really use the materials. Also, with them having blue-scaly skin and being primarily sea-faring creatures, one cannot help but wonder if there are any connections with the Maormer of Pyandonea. Perhaps they are the genetic missing link between men and mer. It has been speculated that the Lefthanded Elves also share ancestry with the Maormer so perhaps, during the Merethic era, there was a thriving culture of trade and interbreeding between all races sailing the Abecean and the Sea of Ghosts.

[@SM-ew6pb]

Thank you for your work, you're making a great and interesting videos on theme's that are not so well known in lore and among the people.

[@derskalde4973]

I agree with, that the Sea giants probably live on Atmora (or maybe islands close to it). If they lived exclusivly on their ships, they'd probably have to make landfall every few years, and likely at least once a year, to repair their ships and restock on materials. Also, to me, it's no wonder their harpoons and such are of high quality. If there's a limit to how much material you can use, you'll start making the best of it, using every last bit.

[@franrojas5753]

An alteration spell that removes the salt out of sea water perhaps? Sounds kind of lore-friendly to the TES universe

[@Matt-md5yt]

Crazy how there's more types of Giants in lore.

[@toytacambery9427]

8:50 nah bro Farengar is down bad 💀

[@MlLFS4L]

Happy thanksgiving everyone

[@Vincentius1NG]

I like to think that Sea Giants have a home in Roscrea. The island that gets annexed by Solitude around Oblivion's time. Not because I have a theory but I think it'd be cool to tie it with Sea Giants. It would make Uriel V's conquest of it that more impressive

[@MonkehMike]

I am waaay behind with your video… have put on notifications now. But at least now I have a bunch of videos to watch :D

[@nbmoleminer5051]

Some great lore and speculation Zorg.

[@yokai333]

Excellent work, professor

[@pandorasbox4238]

Does anyone else wonder how the mechanics work with human and giant breeding? I mean, I doubt a human female could be with a male giant, but... the other way seems equally as unlikely the opposite way.

[@deathblade7239]

Please do a lore video on fishing 🎣 🙏

[@patricialavery8270]

Frozen sea spray like accumulates on ships is less salty than seas water .

[@neasper]

How do humans and giants even breed together

[@beerye9331]

Think sharpshooting. Aim small, miss small 😉

[@Ptaaruonn]

Ask Lyris Titanborn :D

[@neasper]

@@Ptaaruonn iirc she isn’t half giant just descendant of one

[@Ptaaruonn]

@@neasper Oh, my bad then.

[@thelionofjudah5318]

Same ancestry Nords are techniqually giants or jotunns.

[@kiba3x]

They drink from their own pee-pee.

[@bluxx8072]

Yandir and Vrol are the best one :) but i find it wierd that they are together with the Vampire lord Falgravn

[@conman_raddish]

Are giants able to procreate with man and mer? They look like both but big.

[@Racob12]

Haha Giants go thwack, and we go to space :)

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

Plenty of creatures can live off salt water from the ocean. All ocean life For one. But also surprisingly cats. If your kidneys are adapted to filter dehydratants into your urine and work effeciently enough you can drink water with any quantify of salt and you'd still hydrate as you dank it

[@f.b.l.9813]

breeding with giants 💀 how would that even work? that's like the hamster and banana meme

[@andyventures6574]

Sea Giants , the Unhomed . I reference another fantasy series. If you know, you kn9w . Because Stone and sea are deep in life Two unalterable symbols of the world Permanence at rest And permanence in motion Participants in the power that remains

[@dustysky895]

atmora still stands!

[@JustAutistic]

Anyone know what armor that guy in the thumbnail is wearing?

[@ImperialKnowledge]

Sea giant style

[@PrinsaVossum]

Reminds me of the Giants in One Piece.

[@Nekomancer69]

Sea giant snu snu.

[@iambnc6168]

Well that’s a first

[@Gade_Thrash]

I hope if they put sea giants or sea elves in in another game they dont make them blue. It's lazy. That be like if they made sea-humams and they had blue skin.

[@Jiub_SN]

I believe these guys are strictly myth given the Breton have no similar story and we don't see these guys in Tamriel

[@Jiub_SN]

That , or they are the snow demons of akavir that we know have raided Skyrim in the past. I feel like it's odd that they don't attack morrowind or high rock

[@Jiub_SN]

Or, they could be a contingent of the akaviri population living on atmora or an island in the sea of ghosts that descended from survivors of that group, as again only hearing stories of these creatures in Skyrim makes them very strange

[@Lupinemancer87]

As much as I love the Elder Scrolls Universe, and relaly appreciate the Norse influence of Skyrim, as a Norseman, it does frustrate me that people keep misrepresenting Norse Mythology in various media. I really wish people just learn the proper Norse Mythology.
