RIP Camelworks

I love how much deep Elder Scrolls lore comes from the devs roleplaying on internet forums

This whole iceberg is just what  Michael Kirkbride thinks up on a daily basis.

90% of this sounds like it came from Kirkbride when he was writing CODA and Landfall.

Brother the ordained recepticle is literally just a holy grail joke lmao, the kamal were searching for the holy grail

309. RIP camelworks

15:14 my head canon is that there’s just lots of Roriksteads in Skyrim. Like Rorik is just a very common name and they tend to have steads… happens in real life

The Michael Kirkberg sure is entertaining

Love the Soyogorath in the thumbnail

I kinda feel bad for Michael Kirkbride. Writers like Tolkien and R.R. Martin have complete creative control over their universes. Meanwhile Kirkbride’s lore can be tossed whenever Bethesda feels like it or their game engine can’t match it

No, Vivec clearly banned same sex male relationships so he could keep all the men for himself.

It‘s amazing to me that ES lore is so deep, vague and intricate. It feels like something only old school gaming world builders and studios can create

I love Kirkbride's insanity. His ideas are honestly fascinating.

New deadly drinking game: drink whenever this video series mentions Michael Kirkbride.

55:56 Akatosh holds the domain over time. Without time diseases can't progress and thus can't spread. Without time Peryite can't function as a sphere of influence.

1:27:22 you forget the obvious explanation that they carry hist sap for argonian babies born outside of black marsh.

6:29: correction there. Lorkhan's body isnt said to become "the moons", Lorkhan's body is the Dark Moon, which isnt any of the two big ones we see in the games. The Dark Moon only appears when both Masser and Secunda (the 2 main moons) eclipse the sun at the same time, which allows you to see an actual third moon behind them. That third moon is what's left of Lorkhan.

Also a fun fact: the moons arent actually round according to lore, they are both spirits and infinite planes of existence, but mortal brains cant possibly fathom that. So the brain actually makes it appear circular so people dont go insane.

This iceberg had so much promise early on but the point of an iceberg is to have a lot of strange hidden secret stuff and half of this is just "this is a thing from the lessons of vivec" or "this is a thing kirkbride wrote" which doesn't make for a real iceberg :(

Reman being born of a cow is probably a reference to Ymir, the primordial being in Norse belief, who was sometimes said to have been licked into life out of ice by a cow.

The Dwemer might've been the shortest race of their era, but appear normal to Fourth Era peoples.
