  1. FYI: I know they are not literally Witchers, but there are some striking similarities. And I need some way to let people who never heard of the Ash'Abah know what kind of group they are before they click on the video. Otherwise there is no way to really get people interested in a word they never heard of. For example "The Ash'Abah – The Elder Scrolls Lore" could be anything. So yeah, the struggle of making titles for videos is real and I hope I didn't do too bad on this one.

  2. I just finished reading your TES Novel and I fkn loved it, the characters, story and also your interpretation on the size of skyrim and its cities. My favorite moment was definitely the wedding scene, it was really well put together.

    I can't wait for the sequels/prequels (if there are any)

  3. i like to think that mages might find their way among the asha'bah. Finding the way to purge unclean magics without destroying the flesh, or perhaps slaying the undead with a damage health spell so as not to harm the body. Outcasts do tend to flock together.

  4. This explains Amren's obsession with his father's sword.I guess The Dragonborn and other TES heroes are kind of "witchers" dealing with undead or other unclean things.I notice Nords are often very averse to disturbing the dead.The followers Belrand and Erik the Slayer are not happy to invade tombs and the guards gripe about Saarthal.The rarely used Erandur,the Dunmer Priest of Mara, has a different attitude ,he has pity for draugr and considers it a good deed to give them their final rest.

  5. The more I learn about the Redguards the more I realize that they really are one of the most interesting races in TES. Really hoping that TES VI takes place in Hammerfell. Would love to see vast deserts after more than a decade of snowy Skyrim.

  6. I very much appreciate your resistance to the standard on YouTube regarding titles, and keep giving us truthful and engaging titles for the video.
    If it were another channel, the video would just be titled "Witchers in The Elder Scrolls????" or "Witchers in The Elder Scrolls are amazing." or some other clickbait cryptic shit like that.

  7. i wonder if indeed the game is set in Hammerfell (and High Rock too i hope) that there's a whole storyline related to the Ash'Abah. It's reasonable to think that perhaps the Ash'Abah were asked to help fight the daedra in the Oblivion crisis. What if they fought so valiantly to have protected all of Hammerfell but died doing so, in one last act of selflessness and duty. What if, with a resurgence of the dark arts, we as the player character get to reform the Ash'Abah….what would that mean for our reputation? Would everybody in Hammerfell hate us? Would we get radiant quests from various kings of Hammerfell to investigate and dispose of various necromancers in the area?

  8. While it think it's cool, I think it ruins the pre-eso redguard roleplaying since nearly every main quest requires killing undead. Now I'm forced to roleplay as Ash'Abah or a rogue Redguard who doesn't care about traditions.

  9. Going by Bethesda's track record, the new game most likely won't take place in Hammerfell, as they already did that. (Two different games featured locations from Hammerfell, not the whole country)
    Interesting video btw.
