Quite a weaksauce first dragonborn if I may say so myself. Even on Master, he's weaksauce if you're perked up and have potions out the ass. I'm running my first complete Legendary run right now (not at the beginning of course, I'd have gotten nowhere with my iron shit), so I will see if he's as weaksauce as he is on Master.
I don't have any problems myself playing on legendary difficulty. Once you max up your armor, enchant with elemental resistances and learn some restoration, you dont even need a single potion. I do think that miraak is stronger though (at least at shouting), as he can shout more frequently and knows the shout that instantly kills dragons.
@@Crabbob365imagine if that’s what he would’ve done in the unused potentially surviving thing, he saw moras betrayal coming and used become ethereal to evade death.
I like how Bethesda knew that at some point while fighting Miraak you would use unrelenting force and shout him off the edge, so they gave him the line "Did you think you could get rid of me that easily?" 😂
Seriously after I get all of soul tear, all of fire breath, all of frost breath, and summon dunehvar I pretty much never use any other shouts besides those.

It could be Dragons existed in Tamriel and Akavir long before man or mer. en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragons This link claims they existed in Atmora as well. Which means that the ancient Atmorans even those who came to Skyrim would have been subject to the Dovah even during Ysgramors time
@@SaeedG1999 It's completely possible Miraak served the Dovah on Atmora long before he arrived on mainland Tamriel though we would need far more info on when Miraak arrived. Though considering his original position as a dragon priest this seems highly likely.
Dragonborn: Champion of most Daedra. Companion. Listener of The Dark Brotherhood. Nightingale of Nocturnal. Arch-Mage of The College of Winterhold. Wielder of all three Elder Scrolls. Has 50 dragon souls just chilling inside. Miraak:
Alright, I just discovered this secret that I've scoured the internet for and absolutely no one has found it...when herma-mora kills miraak and you drag his body to the edge of the summit and drop his body, a portal of tentacles will appear right below his body halfway through the fall and claim him, i tested this with Miraak's sword/Firstblade when it still said "search: miraak" , and the portal didnt appear, I loaded the save, killed miraak once more and threw in the blade first, still no portal, I wanted to get a second opinion so I spawned some old orcs, killed them and threw them in, still no portal, I got another opinion and thought "maybe it's because their code isn't meant to be in apocrypha", so I cast the spell raise zombie on Sahrotaar and ever so slowly shot him off the edge, still...NO PORTAL, so I think it is safe to say that I uncovered a hidden detail that is not mentoned ANYWHERE else on the internet (not even the wiki or fandom, or uesp!!!) I will post a video on it tomorrow on tiktok @brice_robinson2x5
If you use "bend will" on Miraak enough times - he won't be hostile to you anymore. Hermy will get upset with you and that's when the "extra" dialog is used.
Yep! I am also not quite convinced that he is the evil guy. In the end, he just wants to escape Apocrypha. Who could blame him after being stuck there for over 4,000 years?
I don't think it's so strange. If anything was made clear, it's that Alduin would have destroyed the world itself. If Miraak did want to conquer it, sooner or later he would have had to defeat him. Makes sense that Hakon and the others would seek him out. That he chose otherwise though, might have been old Herma Mora's doing. The Daedric Prince of Knowledge would have known the outcome through knowledge of the prophesy of Alduin, and realizing that Miraak would not be a part of it, played him into becoming his champion. None of us would put it past a Daedric Prince to twist another for their own ends. He needed a champion, and Miraak was apparently the strongest of all dragonborn. Of course, if he did know, it would mean that he also knew that there would be another dragonborn to defeat Alduin and the "friend" that keeps sending the dragonborn the location of word walls might me Hermaus Mora himself. He would have needed to make the new dragonborn strong enough to not just defeat Alduin, but Miraak as well.
@@the-annoyinator Him trying to rule the world instead of destroying it is the betrayal of his purpose. He is the World Eater, a necessary part of the cycle of life and death. He destroyed the previous world to allow the new one to be created. So, to correct that Akatosh gave humans the Voice, creating Dragonborn to stop Alduin. When you think about it, when the Dragonborn stopped Alduin, they didn't just stop Alduin from ruling, they also stopped him from his purpose - destrying this world to allow the next to be born. There's a reason why Alduin, the Firstborn of Akatosh, isn't considered evil. He's innately not when he's doing what he's supposed to.
@@dexternelson First of all, this is a RUclips comment not reddit. No need to write a novel. And second, me saying Alduin betrayed his purpose was also referring to him destroying the world
@@the-annoyinator First of all, you're on my comment. If you didn't want to engage you shouldn't have commented. Second, RUclips has like a 8,000 character limit or something like that. I can respond with any message length I dang well please. You don't get to tell me how to respond. And third, Alduin' purpose IS to destroy the world. That's why he's called the World Eater. He destroyed the last world so the current one could be created. His betrayal was to try and rule the world INSTEAD of destroying it.
The tree stone actually isn't unusual, If you think about it Miraak is trying to return to tamriel, he's trying to return to where he came from, he's trying to return to his roots or the earth, The Tree is usually a symbol of returning or growing back,etc.
The Tree stone is at the centre of Solthsteim, and remember that Miraak was a respected Dragon Priest, other Dragon Priests got their own temples and tombs. It's really not as deep as Nate likes to make it seem
I'll tell you all something, *Miraak is a damn hero* Imagine being born during those times, when dragons ruled, or should i say "dominated" men and Meer. Miraak did not need to rise up against the dragons as he was a middle manager overseeing the boring day-to-day business of actually governing men in his territory, but he chooses to rise up like a true gamer and attempts to give men freedom from the Dovhas. His only mistake was putting his trust in Herma Mora. The OG human long before Saint Alessia freed men from the Aylids. *See you around spacecowboy Miraak*
"Hermeaus Mora isn't exactly the most benevelant daedra" - He's also not malevelant. He just kinda exists to learn all knowledge, good and bad - harmful recipes and ideas just as much as good ones.
4:57 What is usually referred to as "Nord" is the modern race that lives today and has existed for some centuries, realistically not genetically the same as Miraak's because he was born *thousands* of years ago. His race can be _called_ "Nord" because of uninterrupted culture, but racially speaking he's probably an ancestor to Nords not more nor less than he is an ancestor to the other human races.
@@krysfilia5682 yeah, I also got a bit pissed at people when the grammar was completely shit since it’s not even hard, but on the Internet, I’ve just learned to accept it because typing keys on a keyboard is harder than writing shit down on paper
His temple being at the Tree stone is likely a reference to Viking Mythos. The serpent/dragon Nidhogg lives around and gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree. Oddly enough, Alduin is also often associated with Nidhogg as well, since he feeds on the souls of the dead and bears the title of World-Eater.
I'm not really sure I'd say Mirrak is all that evil (especially compared to everything else) so I don't think the ancient nords reaching out to him is all that weird. "He's revolting against the dragons, we're revolving against the dragons. Seems legit."
Me: *Sweats blood to kill a dragon for its soul to unlock a shout* Miraak with possibly all of the shouts and even more: "haha *zii los di du* go brrrrr"
I want to believe that originally (going off the cut dialogue) Miraak was not supposed to be evil. Just extremely arrogant, likely due to the Dragon part of his nature. Not wanting to be ruled any longer by the Dragons, just like the Atmoran Nords. But his Dragon Blood demanding he would stand above the rest, and be their ruler. And for the most part, I don't think he would have done a bad job if he would have succeeded. (mainly as you would need to be very bad at ruling if you would be worse then the Dragons who completely neglected their subjects in the first place) But also, its not like he's any different from a lot of other rulers in Tes history. I mean the Tribunal were deceiving and lying the entire time, but don't get called "evil". And Talos committing genocides and murders left and right, instead of being called evil, he was made a god. I suppose its an example of "history is written by the victor" Talos succeeded, so he is "good" The Tribunal succeeded, so they were "good" Miraak failed, so he is "evil"
I’m actually thinking of working on a Miraak animatic, him and my Dragonborn doing something silly for meme purposes. If he wasn’t killed off, I’d like to think that him and DB would have a sibling-like relationship. That is, if I actually get off my ass and do it
God, always love the idea of those two just being siblings. LDB: Dad, Miraak stole my dragon souls again! Miraak: Well it's not my fault your a weak Dovah! Akatosh: Should have stopped with Martin... Or Miraak: They ruined my dream journal! LDB: I did not! Father Akatosh, send him to Apocrypha and have him expelled! Akatosh: What the fuck are you on about!??
I've been binging your videos and it's rekindled my love for this game. Although I wanted to point out your use of the word "alas". I've noticed a few times that you seem to use it the same you might use the word "however", but it's more like "unfortunately". Just thought I'd let you know in case someone else didn't. I love the videos! Awesome visuals, great thorough information and the voice over is clear, easy to understand and charismatic.
My favorite head cannon idea with Miraak is that he knew you would eventually be born into the world and waited until you came into your true power to try and take it from you, but instead he underestimated the player character and hermaeus mora decided to try and lull us into servitude
People here really disrespecting Miraak but If we didn't learn bend will shout we would be making one of the his stones right now. And let's not forget he is the only one who created 4words dragon insta kill shout. And ofc he even stole dragons from us.
Miraak had so much potential, I wish there was more to his story. Like, he's not scary. He has close to zero backstory, he's a full fantasy villain (could never be scary in real life), and he's too arrogant. I am now going to write the backstory for Miraak. I would like to apologize in advance.
All of the facts are amazing! Your videos are so awesome and informative, im learning so much about this fantastic game that i fell in love with so many years ago. I started playing skyrim again cause your videos sparked that love for Tamriel again. There is nothing more fun than using your unrelenting shout and enemies and watch then fly back. Skyrim is awesome, you’re awesome, keep up the good work!
Of you collect all shouts before meet with him, he also comment in that... He says that he sees you are in full power... And he cames also on full power
“ Do you get to the cloud district very often ? , oh what am i saying of course you don’t “ I wonder what would Mirraak had to say if Nazeem told him that .. 🤔
You forgot that if you use 'Bend Will' on Miraak repeatedly during your battle, he will eventually be friendly to you. Herma will attack him anyway, and you'll then have a choice of fighting next to him to defend him. If you're successful in defending him, he'll choose to stay behind anyway.

It could be Dragons existed in Tamriel and Akavir long before man or mer. en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragons
This link claims they existed in Atmora as well. Which means that the ancient Atmorans even those who came to Skyrim would have been subject to the Dovah even during Ysgramors time
@@SaeedG1999 It's completely possible Miraak served the Dovah on Atmora long before he arrived on mainland Tamriel though we would need far more info on when Miraak arrived. Though considering his original position as a dragon priest this seems highly likely.
@@SaeedG1999 actually Ysgramor had brought Dragons with his 100 companions that brought the snow elves into extinction.
Miraak not having a canon physical form is really cool. It adds to his whole otherwordly force schtick nicely.
Masked Miraak: booming soothing voice
Unmasked Miraak: Skyrim belongs to the Nord!
Fun fact, Miraak has the same voice actor as Paladin Danse.
So Miraak is also a synth?
This feels like an invasion of my privacy

Why are there two of you
Mom always said that I was special, Maybe I'm the Dragonborn and I just don't know it?
Well if that's true the hentai god is going to be coming after you he has a serious dragonborn fetish
Did your doctor also say this?

I used to be an adventurer like you
Well, just play skyrim and you are
LOL!!
"ah, you are dragon born, I can feel it, and yet- (spectrum commercial)"
Me too!!!
What if Miraak created the stones knowing that he would need them to leave Apocrypha. Thus making him the all-maker.
The Stones were in morrowind bruh
Considering how early he existed in the timeline it sort of makes sense.
@@argonianguy6226miraak was around when dragons ruled tamriel, which is long before morrowind

@@amalgamation3679 personally I usually didn’t do he dark brotherhood or thieves guild quests.
Alright, I just discovered this secret that I've scoured the internet for and absolutely no one has found it...when herma-mora kills miraak and you drag his body to the edge of the summit and drop his body, a portal of tentacles will appear right below his body halfway through the fall and claim him, i tested this with Miraak's sword/Firstblade when it still said "search: miraak" , and the portal didnt appear, I loaded the save, killed miraak once more and threw in the blade first, still no portal, I wanted to get a second opinion so I spawned some old orcs, killed them and threw them in, still no portal, I got another opinion and thought "maybe it's because their code isn't meant to be in apocrypha", so I cast the spell raise zombie on Sahrotaar and ever so slowly shot him off the edge, still...NO PORTAL, so I think it is safe to say that I uncovered a hidden detail that is not mentoned ANYWHERE else on the internet (not even the wiki or fandom, or uesp!!!) I will post a video on it tomorrow on tiktok @brice_robinson2x5
If you use "bend will" on Miraak enough times - he won't be hostile to you anymore. Hermy will get upset with you and that's when the "extra" dialog is used.
Nintendork - apparently - although i haven't tried myself. Mad Kangaroo has a video about this: ruclips.net/video/SoHSKXm1sl8/видео.html
@@CorliZar it's a mod
I liked Miraak. His voice, his armor, his fight, all great.
Same.
And as a fan of Dragonlance I got some serious Dragon Highlord vibes from him.
Yep! I am also not quite convinced that he is the evil guy. In the end, he just wants to escape Apocrypha. Who could blame him after being stuck there for over 4,000 years?
I don't think it's so strange. If anything was made clear, it's that Alduin would have destroyed the world itself. If Miraak did want to conquer it, sooner or later he would have had to defeat him. Makes sense that Hakon and the others would seek him out.
That he chose otherwise though, might have been old Herma Mora's doing.
The Daedric Prince of Knowledge would have known the outcome through knowledge of the prophesy of Alduin, and realizing that Miraak would not be a part of it, played him into becoming his champion.
None of us would put it past a Daedric Prince to twist another for their own ends. He needed a champion, and Miraak was apparently the strongest of all dragonborn.
Of course, if he did know, it would mean that he also knew that there would be another dragonborn to defeat Alduin and the "friend" that keeps sending the dragonborn the location of word walls might me Hermaus Mora himself.
He would have needed to make the new dragonborn strong enough to not just defeat Alduin, but Miraak as well.
At that time Alduin was not destroying the world, it's literally stated that he betrayed his purpose
@@the-annoyinator Him trying to rule the world instead of destroying it is the betrayal of his purpose. He is the World Eater, a necessary part of the cycle of life and death.
He destroyed the previous world to allow the new one to be created. So, to correct that Akatosh gave humans the Voice, creating Dragonborn to stop Alduin.
When you think about it, when the Dragonborn stopped Alduin, they didn't just stop Alduin from ruling, they also stopped him from his purpose - destrying this world to allow the next to be born.
There's a reason why Alduin, the Firstborn of Akatosh, isn't considered evil. He's innately not when he's doing what he's supposed to.
@@dexternelson First of all, this is a RUclips comment not reddit. No need to write a novel. And second, me saying Alduin betrayed his purpose was also referring to him destroying the world
@@the-annoyinator First of all, you're on my comment. If you didn't want to engage you shouldn't have commented. Second, RUclips has like a 8,000 character limit or something like that. I can respond with any message length I dang well please. You don't get to tell me how to respond. And third, Alduin' purpose IS to destroy the world. That's why he's called the World Eater. He destroyed the last world so the current one could be created. His betrayal was to try and rule the world INSTEAD of destroying it.
7:16
Nobody:
RUclips captions:
"So, you have slain Halloween- well done."
The tree stone actually isn't unusual, If you think about it Miraak is trying to return to tamriel, he's trying to return to where he came from, he's trying to return to his roots or the earth, The Tree is usually a symbol of returning or growing back,etc.
Maybe because the Tree-Stone represents Life, hence making it (and maybe it's power) the best possible place to resurrect in any way?
I figured with it being the "root" he was trying to root himself outside of a plane of oblivion. Creating an anchor of sorts with the stone.
Or maybe because the power benefits him so well?
The Tree stone is at the centre of Solthsteim, and remember that Miraak was a respected Dragon Priest, other Dragon Priests got their own temples and tombs. It's really not as deep as Nate likes to make it seem
5 things about..
Me
Thank you *herma- I mean Nate*
Daedric princ of details
Miraak sounds like he was scared of Alduin lol
WAS NOT I COULD BEAT HIM WITH MY POWERS
@Crabbob365 he was arrogant and weak
Bro I don’t know how you keep coming up with these things but I always love a new Skyrim video
yes good video i watched the entire thing even tho it was uploaded 10 seconds ago
You're guilty

Stealing all my damn dragon souls
@UnknownSoldier9865 he stole them from me yesterday. I don't have any fricking souls REEEEEEEE
I had 40 souls before I got the dlc (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Not your souls
*OUR SOULS*
Did he really think he could win, with such a bad cosplay of Chtulhu!?
THANK YOUUUUU!
Lovecraft is Lord.
It's his persona I guess
Shut up my mask was fairly close
I'll tell you all something, *Miraak is a damn hero*
Imagine being born during those times, when dragons ruled, or should i say "dominated" men and Meer. Miraak did not need to rise up against the dragons as he was a middle manager overseeing the boring day-to-day business of actually governing men in his territory, but he chooses to rise up like a true gamer and attempts to give men freedom from the Dovhas.
His only mistake was putting his trust in Herma Mora. The OG human long before Saint Alessia freed men from the Aylids.
*See you around spacecowboy Miraak*
No he did not want to give men freedom. He killed dragon because he thinks he is more powerful than them, and he should be the ruler of men instead.
Mic drop.
"Hermeaus Mora isn't exactly the most benevelant daedra" - He's also not malevelant. He just kinda exists to learn all knowledge, good and bad - harmful recipes and ideas just as much as good ones.
Rip to those two people who haven’t played the Dragonborn dlc yet
Dragonborn DLC: *Has been around for 6 years*

@@firzen4829 Have fun I suppose.
I just got Skyrim 2 months ago and never heard of it until then
Thank you for this wonderful video,
Miraak is probably my most favourite
Character in skyrim
4:57 What is usually referred to as "Nord" is the modern race that lives today and has existed for some centuries, realistically not genetically the same as Miraak's because he was born *thousands* of years ago. His race can be _called_ "Nord" because of uninterrupted culture, but racially speaking he's probably an ancestor to Nords not more nor less than he is an ancestor to the other human races.
Fun Fact: the voice actor for Miraak is the same as Paladin Danae form Fallout 4!!!

This has to be your first video where all 5 parts where things i didn't already know. Nice video as always, and thanks for the entertainment
His temple being at the Tree stone is likely a reference to Viking Mythos. The serpent/dragon Nidhogg lives around and gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree. Oddly enough, Alduin is also often associated with Nidhogg as well, since he feeds on the souls of the dead and bears the title of World-Eater.
Would've been cool if Miraak did survive and escape after the final battle, could see a potential rivalry/arch nemesis scenario going along with that.
I'm not really sure I'd say Mirrak is all that evil (especially compared to everything else) so I don't think the ancient nords reaching out to him is all that weird. "He's revolting against the dragons, we're revolving against the dragons. Seems legit."

Dude literally invented a shout and he's still like "YOUR SOUL IS MINE TO DEVOUR"
fuckin killstealer
@@anonguy772 Yeah, he's a pusseh
I want to believe that originally (going off the cut dialogue) Miraak was not supposed to be evil.
Just extremely arrogant, likely due to the Dragon part of his nature.
Not wanting to be ruled any longer by the Dragons, just like the Atmoran Nords.
But his Dragon Blood demanding he would stand above the rest, and be their ruler.
And for the most part, I don't think he would have done a bad job if he would have succeeded. (mainly as you would need to be very bad at ruling if you would be worse then the Dragons who completely neglected their subjects in the first place)
But also, its not like he's any different from a lot of other rulers in Tes history.
I mean the Tribunal were deceiving and lying the entire time, but don't get called "evil".
And Talos committing genocides and murders left and right, instead of being called evil, he was made a god.
I suppose its an example of "history is written by the victor"
Talos succeeded, so he is "good"
The Tribunal succeeded, so they were "good"
Miraak failed, so he is "evil"
Secret no.6 : Miraak was murdered to death by the dragonborn.
I’m actually thinking of working on a Miraak animatic, him and my Dragonborn doing something silly for meme purposes. If he wasn’t killed off, I’d like to think that him and DB would have a sibling-like relationship.
That is, if I actually get off my ass and do it
Cool beans
God, always love the idea of those two just being siblings.
LDB: Dad, Miraak stole my dragon souls again!
Miraak: Well it's not my fault your a weak Dovah!
Akatosh: Should have stopped with Martin...
Or
Miraak: They ruined my dream journal!
LDB: I did not! Father Akatosh, send him to Apocrypha and have him expelled!
Akatosh: What the fuck are you on about!??
Dad a tentacle blob in a van is trying To get me get in by promising free shouts
@@Crabbob365 OK, but imagine if that's actually what happened.
Its pretty similar
I've been binging your videos and it's rekindled my love for this game. Although I wanted to point out your use of the word "alas". I've noticed a few times that you seem to use it the same you might use the word "however", but it's more like "unfortunately". Just thought I'd let you know in case someone else didn't. I love the videos! Awesome visuals, great thorough information and the voice over is clear, easy to understand and charismatic.
Maybe instead of the Tree Stone being for nature, it represents life?
This would possibly give him power over life itself.
Tree stone -> about nature, nature is living things. Miraak wanted to get back to “life”.
?? xD
Of all weapons across all time with access to the knowledge of Hermaeus Mora and the Senile Scribbles...why does he choose a Lurker's pecker?
Lmao
“The temple is built around an ancient magical rock, a rock known as Mir-Rock”

Love that Skyrim is still relevant in 2019! Just picked it up for the switch yesterday and it never gets old no matter how many times I play it
My favorite head cannon idea with Miraak is that he knew you would eventually be born into the world and waited until you came into your true power to try and take it from you, but instead he underestimated the player character and hermaeus mora decided to try and lull us into servitude
I found it crazy that he is just a random dude, but I guess so were we when we start the game.
The Guy basically lives in a hentai paradise
Who knew, Tywin's a pervert
Squid heaven is everyone else's hell.
You mean...Hentai...Haven...

Yeah no why do you think I wanted to leave Mora is a pervert
can already tell it’s gunna be an amazing vid just 5 seconds in:)
People here really disrespecting Miraak but If we didn't learn bend will shout we would be making one of the his stones right now. And let's not forget he is the only one who created 4words dragon insta kill shout. And ofc he even stole dragons from us.
Miraak had so much potential, I wish there was more to his story.
Like, he's not scary. He has close to zero backstory, he's a full fantasy villain (could never be scary in real life), and he's too arrogant.
I am now going to write the backstory for Miraak. I would like to apologize in advance.
Can we just stop and appreciate how much work Nate puts in his videos?
Perfect timing, wow! Literally playing the dragonborn quest again
Miraak:I could have slain alduin myself. Back when I walked the earth but I choose a different part.
Me: so you pussied out?
love that directly after hearing "hay-kon" pronunciation in dialogue Nate asserts his dominance yet again with the abhorrent "hack-on"
Miraak: I loyally serve you Dragons.
*Finds out he's Dragonborn*
Miraak: Nvm F you guys!!! *Starts absorbing*
Frick vahlok
huh, i had no idea the all maker stones gave a buff if you clicked them
He left a cigar burning.
All of the facts are amazing! Your videos are so awesome and informative, im learning so much about this fantastic game that i fell in love with so many years ago. I started playing skyrim again cause your videos sparked that love for Tamriel again. There is nothing more fun than using your unrelenting shout and enemies and watch then fly back. Skyrim is awesome, you’re awesome, keep up the good work!
Yesss I’ve been waiting for your next video😁
Of you collect all shouts before meet with him, he also comment in that... He says that he sees you are in full power... And he cames also on full power
Concept, the generic nord face is miraak's young boi mode, and the old man is after beginning to server Hermaeous Mora
I only discovered skyrim a few weeks back due to living under a rock and the lore videos the secrets etc have helped me alot. Thanks nate.
Thank god there are still people playing this wonderful game. This is my favorite game of all time and that will never change.
“ Do you get to the cloud district very often ? , oh what am i saying of course you don’t “ I wonder what would Mirraak had to say if Nazeem told him that .. 🤔
You forgot that if you use 'Bend Will' on Miraak repeatedly during your battle, he will eventually be friendly to you. Herma will attack him anyway, and you'll then have a choice of fighting next to him to defend him. If you're successful in defending him, he'll choose to stay behind anyway.
That’s a mod
Miraak: “Chose otherwise” to defeat Alduin.
Dragonborn: Bish, you know you couldn’t 😏
He had unlimited shout reduction time I'm sure he could though 🤣
I COULD EASILY CLAP THAT WIMP
It’s very annoying when mirake absorbs the soul of a dragon that you killed
I always appreciate how he says in parentheses “probably” in the title
‘I could have slain him myself, but I chose an English degree’
"Miraak was once the worlds first dragonborn"... so somebody else is now Nirn's first dragonborn?
He was still the first, hes just dead now
