by



The Empire. The Stormcloaks. The Thalmor. The Redguards. A forbidden power that sank Yokuda, and could destroy Tamriel… It’s all been building up to the Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell…

  4. Please no desert areas…for the love of god no desert areas. Always the worst and most boring part of games. As much as I love myself some Hammerfell lore, actually playing there would be so boring with nothing with desert. Also they'd probably make the PC a sword singer and it'd be hard to roleplay again..

  6. I am hyped for the TES6 to take place in Hammerfell. I am in the camp that also wants High Rock and the Illiac Bay. I believe the first half of the game shpuld be focused on Hammerfell and have the player character be the avatar of Ebonarm. Where the player character must bring together different factions to fight the Aldmeri Dominion at the Isle of Balfiera and defeat the champion of the Thalmor who mantled Trinimac. I believe we would all get the most out of a game that is heavy centric on Hammerfell and the Redguard culture. This goes to my next theory of the Shehai and the Sword Singers. Though it declined and became almost extinct practice by the Fourth Era, it is also stated that Shehai could materialize to a practitioner in times of great stress. This sort of stress could be through war or near death experience which our Prisoner typically goes through at the beginning of each installment. To how this mechanic could play out in a game. It would need to be vastly different than any Bound Sword and would still need to be compatible to physical weapons you gain through the game. I imagine this could be a special magic subclass to cast a special attack with delay between them. Similar to the shout system but almost more like… Thinking on the fly here, like a special move from Destiny 2. A big attack that could devastate a battlefield or encampment. To destroy a foe in a single move. This would probably eliminate Kill Moves from TES6 in order to have some sort of balance. I imagine not all sword strokes could be learned, by end game, similar to the Nerevarine of TES4. You would amass a bunch of artifacts and spells to be a walking god. The ebony armor of Ebonarm wield the Shehai to rally the Western forces against the Aldmeri Dominion. What a grand and intoxicating notion.

  7. High Rock is my favorite location in the ES series but the Redguards and their culture is the most interesting to me, I would love if 6 is all about Hammerfell, but I'd probably faint if it was a throwback to Daggerfall and took place in both Hammerfell and High Rock. Come on Todd, deliver!!!

  8. Drew it's really hard for me to not like your content. You're one of the only Elder Scroll tubers who knows what and where to research.
    It's so hard to research Youkodan mythology, so having you do alot of the heavy lifting makes me wanna say thank you

  16. Appears from nowhere, smashes elves into dust, refuses to elaborate, and moves on. Do I speak of Diagna or Pelinal Whitestrake?… I don't think there is any direct support in the lore for the idea that Diagna was Shezarrine, but his story looks like one to me. So then HoonDing is Shor? HoonDing appears every time he needs to "make way" for his people, and Shor, a God of Men, created a world for his people, i.e. men (presumably at the expense of mer or at least Altmer think of it this way). It seems to me that either HoonDing is Shor, or HoonDing is Shor of the previous kalpa, if one subscribes to the idea that Yokuda was in the previous kalpa. Or perhaps both are two different avatars of one god?

    But wait, what about Sep, who is officially supposed to be Lorkhan? It is a pure insinuation on my side, but I wonder if the Warrior God of Men (HoonDing, Shor) is different from the Trickster God associated with Sep. What if Creator/Lorkhan is a kind of an oversoul that consists of Warrior/Shor/HoonDing and Trickster/Sep/Lorkhan, and perhaps of someone else? There is a hint at this in that Talos mantled Lorkhan by way of merging the souls – Warrior/Wulfharth, Wiseman/Zurin Arctus, Trickster/Hjalti (at least it seems to me that the only personal achievement Hjalti ever had was using and betraying others to become Emperor first and then a God). Interesting – who, should be the Wiseman God of the Creator oversoul – Magnus, Auri-El, someone else? If it is either Magnus or Auri-El, then it looks the Trickster managed to trick other undersouls of the Creator into loosing power, Warrior decided to cherish this opportunity, Wiseman was pissed of, and now everyone is at odds with each other and they pretend that they are not the one oversoul.

  22. My only hole in this fan theory is an old interview from when morrowind was released. The creators were asked if they were going to redo the older games for console. Their response was that each country gets it's own game before they revist

  27. So I know that there are a fair handful of elven races within Tamriel that hold a great deal of mystery to us like the dwarves, snow elves, maomer(yes they live in an area somewhere off to the west of the Summerset Isles but they claim that as their entitled homeland), aylieds, etc. but are there other elven races found outside of Tamriel besides the left-hand elves that are only known to be from Yokuda? We find many of the ancestors of men from other continents and have stories of them potentially all being eaten that were on Akavir.

    And having just looked at a theoretical map of Nirn I'm reminded of Aldmeris where many of the elves ancestors are from and I'm just gonna stop here cause, holy cow I need to read more into TES lore lol
