By this point, you already know he's a vampire. He explains that he despises the ones who have given in to their hunger.
      Sybille has a similar attitude.

    I personally think Sybil was a highly arrogant and independent mage who became a similarly arrogant and territorial vampire. Her fondness for the previous rulers and relatively cavalier feeding habits lead me to believe she views Solitude as her domain. She can tolerate itinerant vampires because they don’t threaten this status quo. Court intrigue and mean-girl behavior likely satisfy any urges that might otherwise be channeled into collecting thralls and forming her own vampiric clan.

    The original plan for the Wolf Queen quest involved Sybille telling the player that Potema had been resurrected and asking them to deal with it but the way it worked with her and Falk lead to a... very intertwined potential quest order that would break the game if you didn't do it the way the engine wanted you to.
    I'm pretty sure Sybille sleeping after the quest is a bug because she'll wake up and sell you things if you talk to her.

    Like Hert and Hern, Sybil is one of the more interesting vampire characters in TES for how successfully she’s integrated herself into mortal life. Not only does she interact with them, but she occupies a key position in the court of the (de facto) High Queen in the capital of the province. And we certainly see she has a ruthless, terror filled reputation… but she also doesn’t seem to be a monster. Unlike other vampires who feast on whoever they can, Sybil seems to keep herself to a strict diet of prisoners, and while we can debate the moral ramifications of whether tax evasion should earn you death by vampire, it is an interesting moral principle she commits to nevertheless. Moreover, she isn’t anywhere near as detached as you’d expect, as she does sound genuinely upset over Torygg’s death given she knew him since he was a boy. It could be a clever ruse but why bother? She’s clearly powerful enough to not need a facade if she wanted to, so I’m inclined to think her grief is genuine.
    On the other hand, she does use her power over Elisif to direct attention away from Potema’s resurrection. Is that her trying to serve her true Queen or did she simply make a mistake in underestimating what the villager was reporting? Since she reeks so strongly of cut content, I expect we’ll never know but she is a fascinating character because of what her story could be if she was given the opportunity to flesh it out properly.

    • @jessiehogue.
      @jessiehogue. 22 дня назад +17

      Agreed, although even the 'tax evasion earning death by vampire' part if very much unconfirmed. There is no evidence of her killing just any criminal in jail, so for all we know she only feeds from the worst ones (which given how many bandits and bad guys there are in Skyrim plus the civil war going on should be easy to get her hands on) or she only drinks a little from minor criminals if there's not more serious baddies around, and does drink serious criminals dry.
      In which case, she's all good in my book. I mean, I'm not any better and I even soul trap bandits to make cool enchanted items, lol. XD

  • @BlackOtter9
    @BlackOtter9 17 дней назад +16

    It was always my impression that Sybille was secretively on Potema's side. You mentioned that she seemed sympathetic towards Torygg and the Empire, even protective of them. If you ask the Solitude priest about Potema, he mentions that "it's ironic that if she'd be brought back, she would be the only Septim alive and the heir to the imperial throne". My theory is that Sybille may have known Potema personally (I mean who knows how old she really is) and saw her as the ultimate solution to end the Civil War and restore the Empire to its former glory at the same time. A brutally pragmatic witch-queen who she respected for her power.

  • @wafflingmean4477
    @wafflingmean4477 12 дней назад +4

    I like to think she initially set herself up in Solitude to gain a hold on the influence of the royal court for her own power and security, but over time through the day to day became invested in the politics of Skyrim and the Empire she inadvertently ended up spending so much time on, and grew sentimentally attached to the royal family of Skyrim, raising being something of a pseudo aunt to Torygg, and perhaps his father. I really with the Potemma quest expanded on Sybille's involvement. Perhaps she did initially intend to serve Potemma, but over the course of her time in Solitude has grown something of a conscience, and you'd be able to either talk her out of it, anger her enough to keep pursuing it, or encourage her to pursue it, also hoping to ingratiate yourself with the Wolf-Queen.

    In Oblivion there was a Vampire count (Janus Hassildor) and he says something along the lines of: A Powerful vampire who sets themselves up in a position of power in human society attracts the dregs of vampire society to him and they periodically have to be cleared out. I think that's one read on the cleanse the vampire lair quest.
    My second, wilder theory about the Potema stuff is that the death of Torygg has effectively severed Stentor's connection and motivation to humanity. She's maintained her humanity for however long it is since she was infected and slowly seen everyone she knew from her human life slowly age and die around her and was primarily motivated by her loyalty to the old High king Istlod's legacy and having raised Torygg from birth, then about a week before the in game events of Skyrim Torygg is murdered. I think what we're seeing is Stentor rejecting the remnants of her humanity and embracing a fully vampyric nature in real time.

  • @jamesstrickland517
    @jamesstrickland517 17 дней назад +6

    I wonder what might happen if you had the choice of giving Potema's skull to Stirr or giving it to Stentor. Possible idea for a mod like Wormstooth. Plus if you are a Vokihar Vampire and go to her and she asks we should have a drink together sometime, one of your responses is do you take your blood straight up or on ice. She says: no how could you possibly know that? There are several dialog changes with her when you yourself are a vampire.

    The reason why Dawnguard changes the eyes of ALL vampires to glow yellow like that is because the vampires' eyes aren't actually glowing yellow. Dawnguard establishes that glow as the way a Dragonborn (and presumably also a dragon) can recognise vampirism, whatever bloodline it comes from. That's why NPCs don't comment on the glowing eyes - they don't see them.
    So yes, Martin Septim is an absolute bro because he gives zero shits if the Champion of Cyrodil is an undead bloodsucker.

    • @Mr-tu4cj
      @Mr-tu4cj 21 день назад +3

      That’s not real lore, that’s just a theory and likely not intended by Bethesda because it’s quite a stretch. In reality, the dissonance is just because pre-Dawnguard vampires were written with the pre-Dawnguard designs in mind, and Bethesda is often a bit sloppy.

    there's a mod i use called Dark Destiny that ties into Sybilles little quest she sends you on. The idea is that she sends you to that cave to die, but the Master Vampire there ends up being the same one that turned MOVARTH PIQUINE in Morthal into a vamp some 200 years earlier. And it pairs well with another called Unmasking Sybille, where you can expose her to the court or keep her secret.

    Her having the DB clear out vampire dens is pretty smart: She got a good thing going in Solitude and doesn't need a bunch of punks moving into the neighbourhood drawing the attention of the authorities, the Dawn Guard and other hunters. Also she can blame all bloodless corpses that might wash up on those guys even they were her midnight snacks...
    It's like the mob taking care of the gang problem because those petty criminals are interfering with the organised crime.

    As far as I know, there’s no real reason to suspect this other than it’s a possibility… but I think her experiments are on the volunteers from the dungeon and she isn’t simply feeding on them. (That’s the slightly more obvious part of my hunch)
    What is she trying to figure out through her experiments, though? Simple: A way for vampires to not need to feed/suffer from the hunger so much. Or, perhaps, how much blood you can drain while the victim survives and how often.
    Iirc, what we know from real life blood donation rules is you can basically donate 1 pint or roughly 1/8th of your blood every 8-16 weeks. (depending on the type of donation) Or basically in Skyrim/vampire terms, 1/8th every ~60 days. (I’m pretty sure we can actually survive losing closer to 1/4th but like, we’ll be unconscious and it’s way more risky. Victims who only lose ~1/8th would basically feel lightheaded for a few hours assuming they eat and drink a bit)
    She wants vampires to be more civilized, and arguably less feared as a result… so it seems like she could and likely would do this kind of experiment on her “volunteers” while also being able to feed. Only thing is, idk how much a vampire needs to maintain normal function, properly stave off the hunger (which is constant, right? But clearly can be significantly reduced based on how much blood one consumed and how recently), etc.
    So the biggest potential problem with my hunch here is: how many “volunteers” does she have at any given time? She’d likely need several to keep them all (or most) alive for the duration of the experiments. Although, she may be more likely to drain too much and back off with each attempt, until finding the correct amount, rather than starting at draining like a tablespoon and ramping up until she goes too far… so maybe she wouldn’t have all that many at once, towards the start of her experiments. Only as she started approaching those much smaller amounts, and needed to supplement herself with more volunteers as a result.
    (For example, if she needs 4 pints to stave off the hunger properly, she’d basically need 4 volunteers at a time. But she may start by draining a victim half-dry, noticing they died, and then trying 25% with 2 volunteers at once. Which again, I think we could survive but it’s too risky. So then she’d basically half that again, and double the volunteers again, and get the right amount. But then she’d need to see how often she could do that. And she may need other “volunteers” to drain while waiting, since she may need to feed more than once every ~60 days?)

    I do remember staring at her for quite awhile when I first met her. I don’t know if anyone remembers, but vampires used to be a LOT less obvious.

      If vampire hunters ended up coming to the area to hunt for vamps that were causing trouble it could have put her in danger so it’s in her best interest to prevent other vampires from living in the area

      They are not really competition she just does not want the vampire menace to get out of hand and start vampire hunters acting up. One of the vampires in Volkihar also gave a similar quest to kill a master vampire in the borders of Falkreath that's causing a stir.

    I don't believe her permanent sleep after the quest completion is a bug, to me it's either as put in the video where she gave up, or something more was planned for her exile maybe even execution. I always thought it was strange that solitude has an executioner and a public execution platform when it only ever gets used the first time you visit.

    Before Dawnguard, the eyes were not so glaringly noticeable, nor was there such a strong emphasis on everything vampire.

    Constantly casting "Detect Life" until I noticed she was not effected.

    My personal head-canon is that only the Dragonborn and vampires are able to see the glowing eyes of the vampires from the Dawnguard DLC. I'm not sure why it applies to the Dragonborn, but maybe it's due to the whole magic soul thing.
    The upshot is that, if everyone else sees what you see, it makes no sense that Sybille Stentor and other civilized vampires can hide in plain sight.
    It also explains why civilized vampires like Sybille and even Janus Hassildor in Oblivion hate feral vampires so much. Those creatures break the masquerade and threaten everyone.

    It's a bit of a reach, but it would be interesting if the original quest had her defending Potema's spirit and you had to kill her; but in the cutting room floor they scrapped that and her going into a permanent sleep was a leftover bug as a result. Would add to the logic behind why the new court wizard makes the point that he knows you had a hand in her death (if the original story had her getting killed in the quest as a traitor to Solitude, then that would be known to the court). Only odd thing I find about her allegience to Potema is her seeming love or care for Torygg and his family. Definitely seemed like she genuinely cared for the High King before he was killed, which is a bit at odds with her intention to bring back someone who would likely massacre all of Solitude.

    from what I've read of modders comments (several year ago by now), Sybille not waking up after the second quest is 100% a bug: the way her routine is written changes between periods of the quest and in the last change after the quest, the code for it is not properly closed off (the paragraph of the code lacks a couple of "]" "/end]" or stuff like that if I recall correctly) so the routine never activates. The possible reasons as to why it was never officially patched:
    because bethesda is lazy af (there's a bunch of other stuff like that that also never got patched);
    Sybille does not interact with any other quest so it was irrelevant, she will still wake and talk to you if you activate her while she's in bed;
    it might be that it adds spice to the game in theories like this that get people talking about it as opposed to fixing it that changes nothing in the game;
    the unofficial patch already fixed it;
    other???;
    regardless like much in Skyrim, the potential "what if"s of is Sybille in on Potema's plot or not is one of those things that make the game so addictive, you could make an entire story out of expanding those potential plotlines (I'd be surprised if there isn't some sort of Potema ruler of Solitute mod that expands on that story)

    I prefer to think Sybille isn't working with Potema and has Solitude's best interests at heart, but there's no clear evidence providing a definitive answer one way or the other. Sybille does nothing to actively hinder the Dragonborn, nor do we find any letters or notes indicating her involvement. Does she apparently make the wrong call about what's going on at Wolfskull Cave? Sure, as does Falk, and no one's accusing HIM of having secret motives. I suspect, if Sybille really WANTED the Dragonborn stopped, she'd use her position and resources to take more decisive action, either killing the Dragonborn (most likely through a third party to avoid exposing herself) or setting them up to take the fall for a crime and having them jailed (keeping them out of her hair and/or putting them in a position where she could kill them at her leisure)... but that's just my thinking. Just sayin'. YMMV.
