The Beginners Guide to Elder Scrolls Lore

In our latest Elder Scrolls video we give you a beginners guide to elder scrolls lore.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.

The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

Ok now I have the video I just have to find a friend to show this to

[TheYaddayadda]

Awesome. So now where is the "Elder Scrolls Lore for Dummies: for Dummies?"

[mesektet]

Fun Fact: Compressing all this and then absorbing it all to a 14 minute explanation is how the other Draedra drove Jyggalag insane.

Me when someone finally understands basic Elder Scrolls lore: “Hey, you’re finally awake.”

[SenketsuFi]

[SeiichirouUta]

"Prince of many things unpleasent" I laughed out loud. 😂

[Scorecatron]

I know more about the history of Nirn than I do with Earth's.

[randommagos]

Perfect video for my friends as ı force them into the Elder Scrolls community

[hvlfwaycrook]

I love that you couldn’t even get “Sean Bean Septim” out without cracking.

[paulmarktalento]

I haven't played other TES game except for Skyrim so this break down of its history/lore is highly appreciated. This will greatly supplement some info that I don't really understand regarding the races in Tamriel

[DagothUr.]

Interesting fact about dark elf skin, when azura cursed them for the tribunals betrayal she/he made it so that their skin would be ash colored because it’s actually the ash of their ancestors covering their skin and I think the eyes are red cause it’s the blood of their ancestors either way they are wearing their dead relatives ashes as their skin pigmentation, this is why Dunmer are so close with their ancestors

[madengineerkyouma]

Though I knew most of this, I'm impressed by how you managed to explain it all so well in such a short time. Though I would have added at least a bit of info about the Falmer.

[wiibrockster]

I'm sending this to the casual that I know as "my husband"

[JeFilm]

The information is solid and all, but still very dense stuff compressed in just one video. If I was fresh to TES I would probably need a few good rewatches.

I think for someone who aren’t prepared to sit down pay really good attention, this will need a few more rounds in the ol’ writing room.

[AHerculeanTask]

"Stop you've violated the law." For dummies.

[Kevin-wxwu]

You wouldn't think while playing for the first time that the dunmer are the "newest" race

[orchid]

Those “demi-god type dudes” seem pretty cool if you ask me. Totally unbiased
