The ULTIMATE GUIDE to the Ayleids - The Downfall of Tamriel's Greatest Empire - Elder Scrolls Lore

[@BaalFridge]

was starting to wonder what corner of apocrypha Drew had gotten lost into, but I see now he was never lost.

[@renwhit100]

you cannot BELIEVE how fucking thrilled i am to refresh my youtube homepage and see a 2hr drewmora

[@joshbeehag4820]

Right! 2hr of smooth listening/watching. Perfect while painting 40k or d&d minitures

[@prettygoodactually]

Really tho 🎉

Out here scraping moss off my driveway in the hot sun, wishing I was fighting Ayleids instead. Thanks for keeping me company, Drewmora 👍

[@michaelkimberling7307]

Just imagine that you’re not scraping moss off your driveway. You are in fact, Talos reborn. converting the heartland from jungle to grassland.

[@oshii3585]

God I love Drewmora. This video really is a personal milestone for me because it's the first Drewmora video to come out after i was able to flee the war that has ravaged my country. And this channel has been one of the few things i was able to have with me through it all. This feeling of seeing a new video on my homepage never gets old. But this time it means just a bit more than it normally does.

[@renwhit100]

i hope you're able to find some peace soon, friend

[@Mary_Beth_Reimer]

I hope you are safe and well now. ❤️😊

[@oshii3585]

​@@Mary_Beth_Reimer Thank you, I really appreciate it. I just hope the war stops, I'd do anything at this point to just have peace. I lost family during this war and I think the people as a whole have paid the ultimate price.

[@johljones]

God bless you man, prayers for peace and a new joy going your way.

[@zachbenson1802]

Sending my condolences my friend, and I hope things get better soon

[@Ezekiel_0121]

Imagine what the timeline would have looked like if the Ayleids didn't follow the Daedra. Garden's of stunning colours and beauty, instead of flesh.

[@badluck5647]

They would be as annoying as the Altmer.

[@edmundrandall5575]

@@badluck5647 Most definitely but at least they'd have the architectural and cultural beauty to justify it

​@Zargabaathyou should dig through elder scrolls for things inspired by your culture! i realised on my last skyrim playthrough that the Forsworn are sort of like the Celts and have a lot of Irish/Scots language names :)

[@nordvestgaming1238]

Absolutely amazing, recently I have had a sudden obsession over the Aylieds and then I come home from work and a two hour Drewmora video is up about the Aylieds.

[@linmic9]

Playing Beyond Skyrim Bruma mod for the first time, Ayleid ruins are such a cool vibe

[@ironl4nd]

Two hour Drew video?! JUST WHEN I NEEDED IT?! 5/5

[@TheFeltmeister]

BY THE NINE

[@Serjo.Redoran.Indrasi.Sarano]

The fact that you dropped this video on the day I decided to start planning and modding for a new playthrough where I am a thalmor agent who is secretly an ayleid revivalist who worships meridia & dagon is quite serendipitous.

[@darkkarsia8579]

Interesting I'm currently trying to decide how to do a ayleid follower of Trinimac a warrior hellbent on correcting the mistakes of his people

LETTER TO DREWMORA. Honestly from the bottom of my heart your videos and amazing storytelling keep me hyped for tes 6. Im hungry for more, more lore more stories more adventures, you keep this universe alive , even after soo many years . Thank you. - Mikev.

[@stopwalter8212]

And my day has gotten 1000x better. Hope you’re having a lovely day Drew!

[@KyRo_Dread]

Every time I think my tiny mortal mind will implode from the galaxy sized lore pool I try to ingest, Drew says SIKE and drops the most beautifully master-crafted lore video. I don't know whether to ascend to a higher level of consciousness or to just zero-sum tf out.

[@gators2728]

Great to see you are still kicking and putting out great and long content. This is why you were my favorite part of FM. I cant wait to see what you do when ES6 comes out in 2059!

[@Mary_Beth_Reimer]

Omg I hope I don't have to wait THAT long! 😳

[@BlazingLee0610]

*2069 :p

[@tevinramon5763]

thank you for making this Documetry on the Ayleids. The theme of what was, was could have been..all taken away by hubris and pride. You show how high they wanted to soar like Auriel and the Bird People but allowed pride to take it all away.

[@BanjoGate]

Took me two weeks to watch this in the background... I love your videos. It's a damn shame that you aren't working on the next game. Your stories are so well done.

[@LandStrider23]

BGS would rather write slop now. Oh well

[@BanjoGate]

@@LandStrider23 Yeah, I don't have very much expectations for TES6... Not high or low expectations. Not even that. I don't expect it to ever come out. The Oblivion and Morrowind mods are going to be the next TES installment.

[@badluck5647]

I hope to hear stories of Bosmer and Direnni families who can trace their ancestor to Ayleid refugees.

[@brianroberts783]

There's actually a theory that Mankar Camoran, the leader of the Mythic Dawn in ES IV: Oblivion, may have been Ayleid.

[@badluck5647]

@@brianroberts783 It is a theory, but I want an actual story and narrative.

[@NAUTIIBOII563211]

​@@brianroberts783From what I understood, he altered himself using Mehrunes' Razor; he made himself Psuedo Dragonborn, which is why he was able to wear the Amulet of Kings. When doing this, it's also theorised that he changed his appearance to that of an Alyeid. There's also a possibility that he's the illegitimate child of the Cameron Usurper, which would explain why he bears the family name despite not being directly connected to the family and not being Bosmer.

[@Riptide-rw7wp]

Am I the only one who constantly checks back for new drewmora video drops? Im addicted 😂

This is a masterpiece. Well done drew.

[@shelbycoffey7441]

This is excellent. Your definitive guide to the Dwemer has been my favorite video you’ve done and I’ve been hoping you’d drop one on the Ayleids! Absolutely love how you lay out the lore, easy to digest and enjoyable to listen to. Well done!!

Yay!!! So glad to hear your voice again! Perfect way to start my day, sitting on my back porch with a cold drink, nice cloudy weather, my dog is lounging in the grass.. Your story telling is beautiful and calming and so is your voice. Thank you! Also, love how long your videos are.

The Ayleids ultimate downfall was that Umbacano wasn't more careful to check his seat before he sat down

Drew, I know I’m late to the punch with the comment but sincerely, thank you for taking the time to research AND edit these videos. I know from personal experience how much time it takes to edit ONE video that lasts for maybe 10 minutes of watch time, if you keep your quality up to where you want it. I can’t even imagine over two hours, especially with how deep you dive into different resources just to make them. Thank you.

Have a great day dude
