We need Orsinium in TES 6 especially if it's set in Hammerfell. I love the Orcs and seeing their city state in the 4th era would be honestly amazing.

I really hope Orsinium is a key part of TES 6. Come on, that's conflict wating to happen. Spicy, tasty, lore-filled conflict.

I've always though Elder Scrolls had one of the best takes on the orcish race. Its a very mournful tale.

Thank you for making quality videos that mention the actual games, instead of just reading off the wikia like so many "lore" youtubers...

Literally just started ESOs Orsinium DLC. Cracking open a beer and listing to this now

"Orks? Pfteu. Where there's one there's a thousand more!"

The 7th and 15th Legions did not fought for the Orcs, they only rescued and protected any survivors.The Bretons and Redguards wouldn't dare to attack a Legion. And the Legion wouldn't attack them either or the Empire would lose the support of Hammerfell and High Rock.

Love the idea of a moving capital but damn is the reason it keeps moving, sad

[inquisitorgarza]

The Great City of the Orcs, which is the pride and the tragedy of the Orc Race as a whole for the total hatred that race of men fear them. There will always be a City being built or rebuilt, so long as the Orc race lives there will always be a City for their people. There will come a day when the Orc race will be respected and accept into other race view of them will change, but until then they will always be hated and fear by other.

5:49 Just a tiny thing that I am unsure of. I thought that after the Oblivion Crisis was over, Chancellor Ocato had become the Potentate of the Empire and later reluctantly accepted a position of rule for the foreseeable future until he was mysteriously assassinated sometime during the 4th Era. I haven't found much in game/official novels to directly validate that which is why I am wondering if I heard that incorrectly somewhere or if it's a leftover fragment of lore that I researched awhile ago and forgot about. That being said though, I love the absolute hell out of this video and it taught me a lot about Orsinium as I had previously never studied it before. Thank you for all the awesome, informative videos Zork. This is the most enjoyable content I have ever had the pleasure of binging here on YouTube.

I would love orcs to be a main campaign in es6 and help build new orsinium.

[hashirmemesgaming]

the orcs are my for all my favorite race

[chillievans]

Dont underestimate the power and cunning of an united orcish army, helping the empire, in the 2nd war. I imagine they will be hammerfell and maybe as far as colovias savoir

[crazyhercules]

High Rock should belong to the Orcs. The Breton lords and petty kings are the ones unnecessarily causing all this harm onto the Orcs.

[julianruiz]

Could you do a theory video on why the thalmor didnt kill off the Greybeards?. They are the ones who taught Tiber Septim aka Talos the voice. Wouldn't they want to destroy them for helping talos?

[DMON]

well the falmer does not have their now land so its not only the orcs and there the dragon to

[fumarc]

Orsinium is still allied with the Empire. As long as Orsinium stand, so too will the Empire.

[romanianpatriot]

Orcs huh ... as a Nord-Imperial which means half half I don't really have a problem with them. They make good Legionaires but I wouldn't want my daughter marry one and I think my wife Serana agrees with that, our daughter has to marry a good Nord or Imperial Legionaire. We may be both Vampires but we have culture and those orcs are to uncivilized.
