Here is an extended, uncompressed version of the beautiful music that plays in the Forgotten Vale. Enjoy! Play in higher quality for better, well...quality!
Well it'd be hard to make a game that takes place in the 1st Era seeing as how the events had transpired with the decimation of the Dwemer and the change of the Chimer. Perhaps a 5th Era game would be a good idea. Or a time before the 1st Era.
I already know why the dwemer dissappeared but I want eso 6 to take place around the time of the dwemer and the main storyline revolves around the stages leading up to their dissappearance
Definitely my favourite part of Dawnguard was exploring the Forgotten Vale for the first time. It reminded me of Lord of the Rings or something similar, with the scenery and this music.
Idk, man. My OCD made me explore the entire place and I just couldn't appreciate the place on my first playthrough of it. Only now for some reason after coming back to the game can I truly enjoy these vast and beautyful areas.
@@KurwaRomek agreed. That shit got old. Still, emerging from the tunnels into sunlight, above the lake, among the mountains, was a special moment in the game. Completely unexpected; for me, anyway.
i always thought it was tragic sounds longing and desperate, like maybe a snow elve saw a glimmer of aetherius in a crack of the earth and this song played in there head as they thought about how far they strayed from the sun (auriel is represented as holding a star)
I love the music to this game period. Walking up the mountain path with the purple background, glowing animals was pretty. Then, coming around the corner up into the vale, this music started. I seriously started tearing up it was so pretty. Thank goodness my husband convinced me to try it on pc. I've missed Skyrim's beauty for two years now.
As long as my sister and I weren't the only ones. It was just a combination of 1) the beauty, and 2) the tragedy. Soule nailed the shit out of both with the Vale's soundtrack.
It's definitely one of the most well created environments created by BGS, comparable to the Shivering Isles. Too bad it was so much smaller than the Shivering Isles.
You know how if you listen to a song too often you eventually get tired of it? That's not the case with this one. Could listen to this for an eternity...
Dear God the feels. I just recalled my disbelief the first time I left the maze and saw the scenery. Then the music starts and I felt like I entered holy ground. When I learned the full story I wept like a baby for the poor Falmer. Ysgramor truly was a cold-hearted butcher and the Dwemer monsters worse than every Daedra combined. They earned their fate and then some. And to think this is just fiction. Skyrim truly is a masterpiece of epic proportions. The next Elder Scrolls game has a lot to live up to.
When I first got to the Forgotten Vale, I instantly fell in love with it.I have never felt like that towards some place and this melody gives me chills.
The reason I cried so much was because I hated the Falmer so much... “Ugly, monstrous goblins!” I called them... then this expansion pack came out, I met the Snow Elf and he revealed... everything... if my character could have fallen to her knees and begged forgiveness from that Mer, I would have made her do it. I used to use the Falmer to clear out ruins and level up... they were my playthings. I’d realized after hearing the awful and heartbreaking truth that I had become just like the Dwemer. The race I was so fascinated and immersed in had become the very thing I should have been against. Then I saw their beautiful piece of land and their temple... was reminded of what they currently were, and realized what they once were. God damn it, whoever designed this entire franchise is a goddamn genius.
Same here. When my character fought the Stormcloaks or anyone who said "Skyrim belongs to the Nords" (which was ironic since my character is a Nord indeed) I wish he could say out loud after completing the Dawnguard quest: "Tell that to the Snow Elves"
Sounds like a requiem. A song that introduces you in the heights of heaven, with mist and warmth, beautiful landscape and everything you can ever want.
Forgotten Vale was beautiful, it's definitely one of my favorite places in Skyrim. I still have the book "Touching The Sky" just to remind me of the quest.
3:10 Diary of Faire Agarwen , Falmer Refugee We know that we can never again be the Snow Elves and live freely in this world. We will forever be in hiding in one form or another. But there is no reason we cannot live life with the sun and the wind against our skin. There are those here who are friends to us and plan to help us once the threat has ended. We know now to survive we must be born anew. Outside, we will appear as though we belong here. Inside, we will carry our truth and our scars.
This has to be the best DLC of any game I have ever played. The scenery, music, and even the rewards seemed somehow better than any of the rest of the game. Even the way that this music starts as soon as the fog parts and reveals the desolate yet beautiful scenery really hit me. Thanks for uploading this!!!
It was brutal to finally get to the Forgotten Vale, a lot of questing but man, paid off once you leave the caves. Has a Fallout vibe to leave the vault and be free ha ha. I hated that they killed off the last Snow Elves and made High Elf clones.
I've been playing the game for many hours. I'm level 60 now, and so far, the Dragonborn theme and this one are by far my favorites. This one is magically beautiful, just as the Forgotten Vale is. :)
Will never forget stepping into the Forgotten Vale for the first time, seeing the scenery and then this music hit. Just hearing it makes me want to play the game again.
Oh, how this music makes me weep so much for the glorious past of the Falmer. :*( May they live in peace unknown to the Nords, and may they know again their past glory...for their treatment at the hands of their own cousins, the Dwemer, was an undeserved fate. May they prosper in their 'Forgotten' Vales & ancient lands known only to them, unseen by the Nords. The Falmer aren't gone yet, and they shall persist. Knight-Paladin Gelebor, be their guiding light and one day restore them to the forms they once knew before the Dwemer betrayal. This music provokes deep thought, reminiscing, yearning for days long gone by...any Falmer even in their current state would weep upon hearing music like this. It is a perfect representation of the sad condition of their people now. As Gelebor believes, hope still remains...
ru55ianB Sure they will. The Nords will never find out about these secret lands within Skyrim that they live in...and the Falmer can prosper unnoticed. The Snow Elves shall know tranquility under Knight-Paladin Gelebor's leadership. He will surely know what to do. :D
***** Yep, this music is a true masterpiece. Fitting for the Falmer. Opinion/Perspective time :3 You've gotta realize...the Atmoran (not Nords at the time) 500 Companions were completely set on being "douchebags" under Ysgramor's campaign of revenge. We have nothing clearly stating that the Falmer or the Atmorans were 100% in the right or wrong. It's all left up to speculation, despite the Lore on the issue. All the Lore does is provide the perspectives of opposing sides (and most of the Atmoran-perspective Lore on the subject is pure propaganda). There was no "massacre" of the Atmorans, that's for sure. A "massacre" is exactly what Ysgramor painted it as, but the goal of the Falmer was really to drive the Atmorans out of Skyrim (not slaughter every one of them). It's not just "man gaining more power over mer" or even a population issue... It also has a great deal of involvement from the Eye of Magnus. We may not know for certain what the real goal of the Falmer was in driving the Atmorans out of *Mereth* (Skyrim), or it could've been multiple reasons...but the Eye of Magnus is definitely a big one. Based on evidence from the Lore, as well as in-game evidence from Skyrim...I'm inclined to believe the Falmer were right in doing what they did (or at least they saw what they were doing as "right"). The Falmer obviously had a very different world-view in their culture than the Thalmor of the 4th Era did, and more importantly...they most likely sought to drive the Atmorans out because they didn't trust those humans with the use of such a dangerous magical artifact. The Dwemer, of course, ultimately betrayed them & brought them into their current sad state of existence. (EDIT): One day...the Falmer *will* return to glory! They will regain not just the forms they had before, but also knowledge of the past civilization that their people were once part of...all with the guidance of Knight-Paladin Gelebor. Seriously though...I'd love to play as a Falmer character in a future game. I've already made up a list of Skill bonuses, Powers, & passive abilities for a Falmer Race. :D Ah well...as of now, that's just left up to Mods.
***** Even this certain article may enlighten one on the role of the Eye of Magnus in the conflict: aurbis.c0da.es/ayrenn/ayrenn.pdf (^ Revised "KINMUNE" Text) We all know the Night of Tears happened. However, what was the Night of Tears really? It can't have been a 'massacre' in reality if plenty of Atmorans were left alive to run back to Atmora. If it really was genocide? Perhaps not. However, the razing of Saarthal & driving out the Atmorans wasn't really "genocide" (basically repeating myself here)...Otherwise Ysgramor wouldn't be back with an army to face those who burned Saarthal to the ground. There's certainly a strong indication that genocide was never the intent, from the Falmer perspective. Just drive them away. As far as anyone really "knows", Ysgramor simply just painted the event as genocide in a form of propaganda to get many followers. Jyrik Gauldurson is not the strongest example of possible Atmoran misuse/abuse of the Eye, but he is definitely a candidate for why the Falmer started to doubt the Atmoran's claims of supposedly being a "peaceful" people. __________________________________ Onto the other point: At least we can still be fairly certain that the Falmer had a very different perspective (especially due to their religion, how they perceived "Auriel" the Sun-God/Aedra, etc.) You and me both :D I do certainly hope the Falmer become playable again someday in a future TES game. Until then (& certainly not in TESO)...there's always Mods in Skyrim for a playable Snow Elf/Falmer Race. Speaking of which...I wonder if there are any Mods that allow that. I might just make my own Snow Elf Mod (with all my skill-bonus & passive/ability ideas)
Considering that the change into the "Betrayed" that they experienced was most likely magical in nature (not even just from the toxic mushrooms)... I doubt it'll take *that* long, into the 8th Era. By the way, it's: *Insert day here* of Last Seed (month) of 8E *insert year here* :3
Evolution doesn't quite work as you would expect in TES fiction. Certainly not the same as it does in real-life. The Lore may have more truth to it than we'd like to believe, and even Gelebor's dialogue on it may also have truth (his dialogue on what caused his people to become the "Betrayed"). After all, Nirn is a magical world & gods/spirits are very real. I'd say Magic may as well have been a contributing factor. A major factor would be those toxic mushrooms force-fed to the Falmer by their Dwemer cousins. I have no doubts that Knight-Paladin Gelebor will find a way to get the Falmer back on their feet & ready to regain their past glory, before even the 4th Era ends.
I know it's not a popular thing to say but to me everything about Skyrim is Wagnerian. It's epic scale Teutonic myth. But clearly the makers want it to be something unique on it's own. The music succeeds in doing that.
When I went to the “touch the sky” mission, I cursed the developers for that cave ... But it was worth getting into the forgotten vale..... Serana, fantastic music, landscapes ..... This is what I fell in love with this one of the best games.
Beautiful music for a beautiful setting. But the tone of this music reminds you that though beautiful the Vale was home to a tragedy. The Snow elves as far as we know where made extinct here ironic being it was their betrayed own kind and one of their own.
The first time I went through the forgotten vale, I remember going through it out at night. Hearing this music while going through this valley at night, it felt so majestic. No wonder why Jeremy Soule and David Wise are two of my favorite video game composers. I love both of their music.
Songs like this make hope for better times and better days. Days when men, beast, and elf all accept one another as mortals, rejoicing in common fellowship. The tragedy of the Snow elves is sad indeed, and most certainly something we should learn from.
People may put Dragonborn as the superior DLC, but "Touching the Sky" is *untouchable* when it comes to choosing the best quest of them all. Forgotten Vale, this soundtrack, the best companion and a brutal prophecy to be stopped. I always connect the music on 7:50 to the moment our Dragonborn finds out that in order to fullfill the prophecy, Serana needs to be sacrificed... and that cannot happen by any chance.
If *Richard Wagner* met and fell in love with *Gustav Mahler* - *_despite*_* how inconceivable, how impossible as that would seem, given their respective natures, the inexorable context of (their respective) history - this _utterly sublime_ piece would be the music their union would engender....
I don't remember if I actually found the Forgotten Vale on the PS3 version, because when I played Special Edition on Steam a few years back, I got to this part and was blown away by the visuals and music of it all. it didn't look familiar to me. All I remembered from that version was Fort Dawnguard, Castle Volkinhar, the Soul Cairn, Solstheim and Herma Mora's plane of Oblivion. Unless you have to go through the Forgotten Vale to get Auriel's Bow or whatever. I don't remember, mmkay?
This music makes me want to cry. I don't know if it is just so good or if it is the nostalgia and my love for the game. Either way, I find it extremely relaxing and I am reminiscent of something that I have never had but somehow miss it anyway.
This is haunting, I'll have it playing in the background when I next venture into TS Eliots 'the waste land' "I'll show you fear in a hand full of dust"
Thanks :) It doesn't mean to say the original wasn't compressed. I just didn't compress it further to my knowledge. I'm sure there are other options like RUclips Repeat that you could use if you want to have your video/song of choice playing in another tab constantly. If you want to download any video, simply go onto Keepvid.com, paste in the video link and it gives you a number of download options like what quality you want,or if you want to download it as an MP3 file.

If the next elder scrolls doesn't dwell deeper into the lore of snow elves and dwemer we riot
Agreed, I want a damn Dwemer plot, yet at the same time I love the mystery
Well it'd be hard to make a game that takes place in the 1st Era seeing as how the events had transpired with the decimation of the Dwemer and the change of the Chimer. Perhaps a 5th Era game would be a good idea. Or a time before the 1st Era.

There will not be an elder scrolls 6. And if it will be, it will be some half-crappy VR shit. Todd howard already hinted to it

I felt the same dude, it is amazing, this elvean atmosphere thru the gameplay in Skyrim, and this feeling of beautiful in music...
i feel you shoutswillecho1. we are our own enemies
It´s sad when you dont´t see anyone there, only the few ghosts, and hear the silence.
its the most beautiful place in skyrim due to its isolation, and the gorgeous geography.
+Jospeh Hishon
The giant frozen lake and seeing the temple up on the cliffs... And then the two dragons pop out...
TheMrPlayers3 I had 4 dragon they duplicated for me I couldn't even get to the shout
Meh. Can't say I enjoyed the hordes of Falmers.
@@KurwaRomek agreed. That shit got old.
Still, emerging from the tunnels into sunlight, above the lake, among the mountains, was a special moment in the game. Completely unexpected; for me, anyway.
This music and the ancient Falmer architecture you find in Skyrim are beyond words in its beauty and magic.
i always thought it was tragic
sounds longing and desperate, like maybe a snow elve saw a glimmer of aetherius in a crack of the earth and this song played in there head as they thought about how far they strayed from the sun (auriel is represented as holding a star)

my first playthrough those damn vale sabrecats scared the shit out of me cuz they blended in so well.
@@nixeleth couldn't describe better. well said.
I stood on the mountain and did not move, because there the music was divine
Breathtakingly beautiful....
Goosebumps just like the first time exploring the Vale... I will never forget that.
Someone Stole My Sweetroll i just couldnt help myself, i had to read your name out loud with the guard’s voice
Played it with headphones in, 8 hours later I was just enjoying the theme and environment. Got lost ha ha. Worth it.
I'll admit, I shed a tear the first time I saw the Chantry of Auri-El
It was a beatiful place once, but now it is just a forgotten ruin.
I just played dawnguard for the first time and i verbally said woah when i saw it
Same. I was literally amazed by how immersed i was to the story of that place. The music plays such a big role in that.
It's definitely one of the most well created environments created by BGS, comparable to the Shivering Isles. Too bad it was so much smaller than the Shivering Isles.
I truly believe that there's something of god, universe or entire cosmos who breath inside this piece of music.
Soule is a real genius.
Yes! I'm right there with you.
*God
My 2 week old loves this song. I can't explain it but it puts him right to sleep no matter what mood he's in. Thank you to whoever wrote this music.
Jeremy Soule
Allie Gre
maybe because this song fills something deep within him
jeremy soule is a genius....
Thats awesome x) so young and already recognize what's worth x)
You know how if you listen to a song too often you eventually get tired of it? That's not the case with this one. Could listen to this for an eternity...
>He had been listening ever since
Dear God the feels. I just recalled my disbelief the first time I left the maze and saw the scenery. Then the music starts and I felt like I entered holy ground. When I learned the full story I wept like a baby for the poor Falmer. Ysgramor truly was a cold-hearted butcher and the Dwemer monsters worse than every Daedra combined.

Sounds like a requiem. A song that introduces you in the heights of heaven, with mist and warmth, beautiful landscape and everything you can ever want.

Forgotten Vale was beautiful, it's definitely one of my favorite places in Skyrim. I still have the book "Touching The Sky" just to remind me of the quest.

We know that we can never again be the Snow Elves and live freely in this world. We will forever be in hiding in one form or another. But there is no reason we cannot live life with the sun and the wind against our skin. There are those here who are friends to us and plan to help us once the threat has ended. We know now to survive we must be born anew. Outside, we will appear as though we belong here. Inside, we will carry our truth and our scars.
This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Sad, yet noble. It suits this part of the game absolutely perfectly, evoking the sombre tranquility of death.
Great stuff. I stopped in the Forgotten Vale just to listen to this beauty.
This, this is the reason I am going through the Dawnguard quest line again.
Arch-Curate Vyrthur disliked this. And now, sixteen of the betrayed as well.
And his summoned Frost Atronach disliked this.

Will never forget stepping into the Forgotten Vale for the first time, seeing the scenery and then this music hit. Just hearing it makes me want to play the game again.
This music has such a dark feel to it, as if the Dragonborn turned away from the gods and embraced himself to a godlike position.
Beautiful song, beautiful game. My favourite soundtrack in the game, this is a beauty ;)

arriving at the forgotten vale was one of the most magic moments i had in a game.
The dawnguard dlc is one of my most favorite dlc’s in any video game
I shed tears everytime I hear this song, after I learned what happened to the elves. so sad.
Когда играл в эту игру именно в этом этапе я остановился и мой герой стоял под снегом до утра, из - за того что песня просто прелесть...
This track is simply sacred. And the quest is called Touching the Sky.
Probably the best song from the skyrim ost.
This music is absolutely perfect. And fits perfectly in this area. It makes me feel so happy
Poor snow elf, turned their race into blind race, betrayed, sadness, and loss from their homeland
Geez this DLC. I discovered the forgotten vale a couple days ago, still trying to recover. What a beautiful video game moment!
I cried while listening to this in the Forgotten Vale.. So freaking epic.
Forgotten Vale is like a different world separated from skyrim. the mysterious aura it brings its just enigmatic and full of intrigue.
Эта музыка, наполнена полной красивой печалью когда-то великой и прекрасной эльфийской расы, которая ныне мертва и забыта.
This music , the final fate of Snow Elves and Snow Prince make me cry.
I know it's not a popular thing to say but to me everything about Skyrim is Wagnerian. It's epic scale Teutonic myth. But clearly the makers want it to be something unique on it's own. The music succeeds in doing that.
God, I love this soundtrack so much. I feel like I am ascending into heaven when listening to this.
Jeremy Soule is a master musician. This song evokes too much to explain
This is my favourite music in the game plus it makes me feel really sorry for the poor snow elves I love them
This is one of the reason why that Skyrim is a masterpiece!!
This music is beautiful, I use it when I write
So do I :)
And for many other things
Cannot wait to reach the Vale in Skyrim SE! A few more levels, and I'll make my way to Dayspring Canyon, and set things in motion...
i sincerely hope they will include locations like the forgotten vale, and of-course a similarly epic soundtrack.
in the next Elder scrolls.
This theme is absolutely magical. Love it.
So dark, so melancholic, other than the songs "Unbroken Road" and "Sovengarde", this is definitely the best song in the game
When I went to the “touch the sky” mission, I cursed the developers for that cave ... But it was worth getting into the forgotten vale..... Serana, fantastic music, landscapes ..... This is what I fell in love with this one of the best games.
And then two big ass twin dragons show up and ruin the moment.
Even they were beautiful!
Such a beautiful track
This is truly music to the ears. Music can take you out of reality, thank you Skyrim for such a great game!
I kept just chilling in there listening to the music. It’s absolutely beautiful. Moving. Goosebump music ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful music for a beautiful setting. But the tone of this music reminds you that though beautiful the Vale was home to a tragedy. The Snow elves as far as we know where made extinct here ironic being it was their betrayed own kind and one of their own.
What saddens me is that all comments are 4 to 8 years old. I hate time.
Feels like you're in a different realm or era in Tamriel
This game never stops giving me goosebumps. The lore the soundtrack, absolutely mindblowing!
Imagine technology which could erase your memory. I would buy it just to replay Skyrim all over again. Jeremy Soule is just NUTS with his soundtrack.
Listening to this while reading The Silmarillion 👌
by far one of the most beautiful pieces of music ive ever heard
The first time I went through the forgotten vale, I remember going through it out at night. Hearing this music while going through this valley at night, it felt so majestic. No wonder why Jeremy Soule and David Wise are two of my favorite video game composers. I love both of their music.
I swear, listening to this and reading the Silmarillion is a great experience
Songs like this make hope for better times and better days. Days when men, beast, and elf all accept one another as mortals, rejoicing in common fellowship. The tragedy of the Snow elves is sad indeed, and most certainly something we should learn from.
People may put Dragonborn as the superior DLC, but "Touching the Sky" is *untouchable* when it comes to choosing the best quest of them all.
Forgotten Vale, this soundtrack, the best companion and a brutal prophecy to be stopped.
I always connect the music on 7:50 to the moment our Dragonborn finds out that in order to fullfill the prophecy, Serana needs to be sacrificed... and that cannot happen by any chance.
i never forgott this amazing place. i play video games for moments and fealing like this and i hope the next the elder scrolls will have it.
Divine...
i shudder when i listen to this music
If *Richard Wagner* met and fell in love with *Gustav Mahler* - *_despite*_* how inconceivable, how impossible as that would seem, given their respective natures, the inexorable context of (their respective) history - this _utterly sublime_ piece would be the music their union would engender....
thank you so much :)
I just spent the last 2 hours hearing this non stop while playing Minecraft haha it inspires me
magnificient piece !!!
The music was the best past of this DLC.
Blessings of Auri-El upon you!
I don't remember if I actually found the Forgotten Vale on the PS3 version, because when I played Special Edition on Steam a few years back, I got to this part and was blown away by the visuals and music of it all. it didn't look familiar to me. All I remembered from that version was Fort Dawnguard, Castle Volkinhar, the Soul Cairn, Solstheim and Herma Mora's plane of Oblivion. Unless you have to go through the Forgotten Vale to get Auriel's Bow or whatever. I don't remember, mmkay?
This music makes me want to cry. I don't know if it is just so good or if it is the nostalgia and my love for the game. Either way, I find it extremely relaxing and I am reminiscent of something that I have never had but somehow miss it anyway.
Best SONG EVER
This is haunting, I'll have it playing in the background when I next venture into TS Eliots 'the waste land'
"I'll show you fear in a hand full of dust"
I remember my first time playing thinking that the linen wraps were burrito wraps...I was unfortunately mistaken...
Al Self hahahahahaha
In memories of fly of germanwings 03.24.2015 Rest in Peace
Saw your comment on a similar video. Good thing I checked lol thanks for the upload! Although the transition could have been worked on.
Life was so good when this DLC came out.
Thanks :) It doesn't mean to say the original wasn't compressed. I just didn't compress it further to my knowledge. I'm sure there are other options like RUclips Repeat that you could use if you want to have your video/song of choice playing in another tab constantly. If you want to download any video, simply go onto Keepvid.com, paste in the video link and it gives you a number of download options like what quality you want,or if you want to download it as an MP3 file.
it doesn't get much better than this
2:40 - best part. But it actually starts at 2:25
I actually wish this track was playing during my exploration of Sovngarde. That would have been an experience.
+iReturnV1deotapes Sovngarde is the future, the Vale is historical, big difference.
+Tony Montana What do you mean by Sovngarde is the future ?
so magic... so awesome... so skyrim the best game of the world!!!!
Much as I like TESO, it needs more music like this. And the Morrowind theme. And ...
If you're playing on the Aldmeri Dominion side, you got plenty music like this.
Sadly, they are not big fans of Argonian sorcerers. :^)
Damn I miss this game, and the soundtrack.
Can u loop this for 8 hours so i can get some sleep plzz
You can actually right click the youtube video and check the "loop" option.
Lucky Luciano 😂😂😂
Is there a video of the orchestra performing this incredible piece anywhere?
I want this one to be played on my funeral...
Am I the only one who feels like crying when I hear this music?
Damn, that's depressing...
This theme!
IMHO one of the prettiest parts of Dawnguard - along with Ingjard ...
Goosebumps a 7:10 😳😳
