It would make sense, the Nords worshipped the dragons, the dragons were still in charge, when the elves attacked Sarthaal, it disrupted the dragon’s servants and work basically, and maybe the dragons wanted The Eye Of Magnus, Dragons do meddle in magic, so they maybe worked together to take over Skyrim and then the Dragon Cult rose, then the war against dragons and the cult, and the Eye was forgotten, but the Nords must of had help from dragons during the battle against falmer first… 500 people killing all elves? Hmmm seems exaggerated, and exactly what one side would write about the other, and they did build tons of temples to worship dragons in all over after they took over Skyrim. It’s dragon magic that keeps Draugr slowly feeding their life to the high Priest, just like a Dragonborn absorbs the soul of a dragon, a dragon priest can learn magic taught to them by dragons on how to absorb the life of others… it’s why few know this power, dragonborns, very high Priests, the graybeards and dragons themselves know how to do it.. The dragons were always in charge and they liked their slaves... Dragons probably stayed in Atmora at first, ruling over Men, that’s why Elves barely mention them? (Idk if elves or Falmer ever mention dragons as a problem) who then came to Skyrim from Atmora after they made a deal to take over Skyrim for them and the Nords and wipe the elves out, something only a ruthless dragon army could and would do…. Maybe 🤷🏽‍♂️

I find it important to point out that you don’t have to be Dragonborn to use the Thu’um. Miraak is the confirmed first Dragonborn. I find it more likely, instead, that the dragons simply taught Ysgramor the Thu’um, like the Greybeards did Ulfric Stormcloak.

[@obi-wan-jacobi840]

I thought it was Paarthurnax who first taught the Thu’um to mortals who rebelled against Alduin.

[@zeykriid]

@@obi-wan-jacobi840 he did, but they were not the first mortals to be able to use the Thu’um; the dragon priests were, and were given the ability to do so by their dragon overlords (it’s most likely they were taught by the dragons as opposed to being made Dragonborns but the lore does not specify, and we don’t know if Miraak was the first dragon priest, as well).

[@RevanLockheart-]

​​@@zeykriidnd Miraak ain't telling.

[@wafflingmean4477]

@@obi-wan-jacobi840 Given we can find Draugr who use the Thu'um in tombs protecting dragon priests, to me it's clear that the first humans to use shouts were actually elevated servants of the dragons, not warriors blessed by Kyne to fight them. Paarthurnax may still have been involved with teaching the first humans to use the Thu'um, but it wasn't for benevolent reasons. It would also explain why Draugr only ever seem to use Unrelenting Force or Disarm shout (if I remember right). The dragons likely taught their servants just enough to give them an edge over mutual enemies, but not enough to contend with their masters. That's likely one of the reasons Dragonrend was such a game changer.

[@robertbejan8110]

About the fourth spot, the dragon scales could be from Paarthurnax, I remember that in Rorikstead near the shrine is this girl named Sissel and she said this: "I had a dream that there was a good dragon. He was old and gray, but he wasn't scary." This can mean something, maybe it was not a dream, and she saw Paarthurnax near the shrine, just a theory :D

Ive got some interesting little details that might interest you 1. I dont know if this is a well known fact. But in the companions, you could ask Athis the reason why he join the companion, he would then say the lines from Indiana jones. HOWEVER, should you ask him again he would mock the player for being too annoying, he will actually notice that the dragonborn ask the same question twice, which he says "to get away from people who ask the same questions twice" or somewhere along that line 2. After joining up with the companions, fighting with vilkas in the yard. You could talk to kodlak and he will say the word "eyes on the horizon" what's interesting is during the quest proving honor. A contradicting statement is muttered by Farkas on dustman cairn "eyes on the prey, not the horizon" this is a little nod to Farkas wolfish personality and Kodlak's wisdom where he see fit that Sovngarde would be his home. 3. You could stumble upon Kodlak and Torvar talking about which weapon they like to use. Kodlak said that in his younger years he likes to use a bigger weapon but now he have a hard time lifting a greatsword, which then he says he still love to bludgeon someone with a hammer. Well if you check out the living quarters on his room would be a steel warhammer. It doesnt end there, when you return from gathering glenmoril witches head Kodlak will die while holding the same steel warhammer. The conversation from Torvar foreshadows how Kodlaks fighting years are behind him (too frail to wield a warhammer) and he will not survive the companions questline. Hope you take notice.

I realized something about the fourth fact regarding the dragon scales at the Akatosh shrine. Nate mentioned that Paarthurnax is the only dragon that's been around since the dragons disappeared, and therefore is the most likely candidate for the source of those scales. However, that would mean risking exposing his existence by flying to that open spot close to a settlement - Rorikstead. Well, may I remind, that we *do* have an instance of someone in Rorikstead mentioning Paarthurnax, albeit vaguely. Sissel - one of Lemkil's daughters - mentions she had a dream of an old and gray dragon who "wasn't scary". Perhaps it's possible that Paarthurnax *did* risk a trip to the shrine at least a little bit before the game takes place, and Sissel managed to see him during the night, although believing that it was just a dream.

[@tranngockha6562]

Make sense, I've always wondered why would Sissel see dream of Paarthurnax.

[@ArellaBlack]

I do have a bit of a mystery - one that I literally thought of as I was watching this video. Why are Paarthurnax and Durnehviir the only dragons that are visually old? Could it be possible that denying or being denied their nature (that of conquerors and rulers) somehow changed them? Why do no other dragons seem to age? I get that Alduin had to raise most of them from the dead, but literally none of them look old.

[@SoiledWig]

i think you may've answered your own question. Paarthurnax and Durnevir have lived continuously for thousands of years, whereas the others were killed in the first era and brought back just now. There's no aging when you don't occupy a physical body.

They weren't familiar with the concept of feeling defenseless like the people of Sarthaal. For the Snow Elves to know the pain felt by Sarthaal, Ysgramor sought to treat them as they treated Sarthaal; slaughter all without any mercy.

Nate, I’m not sure if this has been mentioned already but I thought it might be worth some research. While looking at the artwork in the stone walls of dwarves ruins there are circles with a dot in the middle (an eye?) with lines coming from the center (tentacles?) Could this be a depiction of Hermaeus Mora from the dwarves?

[@user-le9bf5uq9p]

you could be right because towards the ending of septimus signus's quest, transmunding the mundane, the box in septimus's outpost will open by using the blood of orc, wood elf, high elf, dark elf, and falmer, once it opens, we will find a book called the oghma infinium which is hermaeus mora's daedric artifact

[@nigerianprinceajani]

The Oghma Infinium is locked up in a Dwemer container and one of Mora's Black Books is in a Dwemer Ruin on Solstheim. The Dwemer most definitely made contact with Hermaeus Mora and would've propably depicted that contact.

Hi Nate! You mentioned the Dragons might have come from the continent Akavir, and the name of the Dragon mentioned sounded similar to Akintosh.

I was also fascinated with Akavir, and was wondering (and requesting) that you make a “Five Things You May Not Have Know About...” about Nirn, and the continents in Nirn.

Well, something we need to consider is this: Why did the Dragons leave either Atmora or Akavir? No species ever really leaves their homeland unless they have to. Either due to population, resource depletion, climate change or war. We're assuming they came as conquerors. What if they were fleeing something, something capable of freezing an entire continent and terrifying even Alduin and Akatosh? Interestingly enough, this may well have been the Greymarch by Jyggalag.

Also when Todd Howard was talking about mysteries in fantasy and the elder scrolls lore, he mentioned the mystery of Uriel Septim V. When he was talking about it he said that Bethesda originally thought of the idea of Uriel Septim V returning with an army of dragons to reclaim the throne of Tamriel.
