    Previously Wizards and Warriors documentary series on the lore of the Elder Scrolls world, we talked about the rise and decline of the Septim Empire, as we will talk about the history of the world, the creation of the empire by Talos Stormcrown, the invasion of Akavir by emperor Uriel, as well as the Oblivion Crisis and the Great War between the elves and the men ( • Elder Scrolls - Histor... ). Our new series will talk about various races and societies of the continent of Tamriel and the first episode will cover the Khajiit of Elsweyr, the cat-people, the children of the moon, known for the moonsugar they consume.

      Not all Mer, just the Altmer(High Elves), because they are direct descendants of the Aldmer(Original Progenitor Elves), who are the descendants of the Old Ehlnofey, as opposed to Man, who are the descendants of the Wandering Ehlnofey. Ehlnofey are the lesser et'Ada, or the lesser of the spirits that participated in the creation of Mundus (the universe). So basically et'Ada -> Ehlnofey -> Aldmer (in the case of Mer) -> Altmer. They abhor material existence, because they believe they were tricked by Lorkhan, so material existence is a prison for them, and they wanna return to the formless primordial order they existed in before creation.

      @@silviuvisan505 they're 100% biased. Elder Scrolls has more lore than the game of thrones, and yet they put that out and done nothing on Elder Scrolls. The Dwarven extinction has a better story than in Warhammer and Lord of the rings.

    One of the best stories of the Khajit come from.a book in the Elder Scrolls that's been in every game since Morrowind and you even meet the author in that game. Mixed Unit Tactics from the perspective of legionaire stationed at fort sphinxmoth. Khajit invade valenwood and mess up the bosmer utilizing their different forms to their advantage. It's one of my favorite elder scrolls books.

      Mine too and I'm no fan of cats (more of a dog person) but i love them in the lore they are so versatile from their appearance their skills to their speech. Know how to survive, their body can be a weapon like a tiger or through friendliness and trade. They're stubborn and independent. Huge respect for Orcs too but in the long run i side with them. One of the most interesting races in fiction, they got the simple idea of cats and gave them so much more.

    One little thing that you didn't talk about and might have been cool to explore, is the reason for why Kahjits have many different forms; a Kahjit's form is set by the state and location of the moons at the time they are born (hence why some of them are more humanoid and others more feline). I don't remember which moon phases correlate to which form, but it's a cool piece of lore nonetheless.

    This video made me more interested in the Elder Scrolls' lore and world than I've been since playing Morrowind as a kid.
    Also, I would love to see you come back to Brandon Sanderson's work and cover Roshar, but stay away from all of the big picture, Cosmare-level stuff, and ancient secrets. Just presenting the various countries and cultures of Roshar around the time of when the plot of Stormlight Archive begins, while limiting yourself to the knowledge that regular well-educated mortals in this world would have. So, for example, presenting what vorinism and other religions say about the Heralds or the Desolations but not revealing too much of the actual truth.

Perhaps even if they do two episodes they can focus on some of the new stuff like the ivory brigade, Imperial cults and saints, emperor's and their families, imperial military, important individuals e.g senators, generals. Basically I'm just glad we're getting more elder scrolls content😂😅

    In Skyrim, I play as a Cathay-Raht, orphaned after a bandit ambush as his family's caravan outside Falkreath. Being found by a couple of Nords and taking him back to their stead outside of Rorikstead. This couple were of an old but sprace clan of iron mining Nords named Blood-Stone. Naming him Harold, they raised him as a Nord. Just before their passing, they told him of his birth parents, which is the reason he emds up selling the farm to build his own house at Lakeview Manor. Because he was raised by Nordic ideals, he has gained the trust of those he knows. Cathay-Raht is a larger "breed" of Khajiit, however still slightly weaker than the Nord warriors he has embraced the art of the bow and axe. Living with his new family he serves Falkreath with honor and diligence. Through this service, he gained the prefix, Dor' meaning warrior. With his adoptive parents passing he also took their clan name. Dor'ald Blood-Stone.

    The visuals is good, but the image at 3:15 is fan art. Its use is misleading to people because it is not true. And It's a shame, but the video doesn't cover half of the knowledge. There is so much information on the internet about architecture, martial arts, weapons and many other aspects of khajiit culture.
