Hay Nate! A tiny Skyrim detail I found out about this week, is that while Boar Meat from the Dragonborn DLC cannot be cooked, it is possible to find a single piece of Cooked Boar Meat in Morvayn Manor.
You definitely should be given an NPC in the next Elder Scrolls game. You should be a follower, and every time the player goes somewhere you should just tell facts about that place.
The curse on the cowl was removed centuries ago, during oblivion, it no longer erases people from history. When you put on the mask, your memory remains, people just don't know that it's you and wonder where you've gone.
Tiny Detail: In Whiterun, the ingredient Nightshade, can only be found at Arcadia's Cauldron (an Alchemy shop) and Whiterun's Hall of the Dead (specifically the Gravestones). Other than standard fare for an Alchemy shop, this implies that Whiterun citizens plant Nightshade on the graves of their dead. Carlotta Valentia is a single mother merchant of Whiterun, whose husband has passed away. The Valentia House is the only other location to have Nightshade on its premises in Whiterun, hidden between the wall and the house itself. With this information, it could be implied that the husband was unceremoniously buried behind the house, almost as if it was done in secrecy. The Enchanter's Primer secretly tucked away between the dresser and bed, may suggest that the husband didn't leave willingly...
I just finished this quest line. I haven’t played this game in 5 years and everything felt so new. Completely forgot about the ending and the quests leading up to it. One of the best questlines in the game. Walk with the shadows.
Would've loved the thieves guild way more if mercer ended up not being the villain, would've been cool if the elf chick actually did kill gallus and made up a whole plot to get back into the guild and frame mercer, it was just stupidly obvious he was bad from the start... I think that was my biggest problem with the skyrim factions, not that the missions were boring or anything, the plots were all just too predictable with obvious bad guys
The fact that the mysterious and rude thalmor agent spying on the school was shockingly revealed to be, *gasp* the main villain of the college of winterhold, really made that story disappointing
Not to get started on the underdeveloped generic bandit look of the Silver Hand who could’ve been a rouge splinter faction from the Companions trying to hunt out the Werewolves within the Companions and stay true to Ysgramor’s memory instead of being literal Daedra worshipping Werewolves.
I like that mercer was the villain. Cuz too many times elves are often the cause or villain of a quest. You go to a random cave, read a journal, it an elf or wizard being the issue
When you said "as you attempt to reverse the guilds decline" I realized that applies to pretty much every faction quest in the game.... Bards College, Thieves Guild, Mages Guild, Dark Brotherhood, arguably the Companions....
Can’t wait until the next game comes out. I still and will always love Skyrim but I think we can all agree that constantly getting new armor sets and not expecting Mercer to betray you was awesome in your first play through.
@@shwildin, Glover Mallory in Raven Rock. If you're a member of the Guild, you get a dialogue option to point out the Shadowmark near his door. Comment on it, and he'll give you a quest to retrieve something of his. Complete it, and he'll give you a key to his basement, where you can take any and all inside, including a letter he writes to his daughter, but never sent.
@@septimussignus4603 shhhh. there there. you will get it one day. ZOINK! you won't. because you will turn into a PILE OF ASH! (insert evil laughter here)
Just to clarify something about the Morag Tong, they were legal in Morrowind. There's a full faction quest line where you work for them, and guards will let you go after you kill your target since you have a Writ of Execution in your inventory. You also get to kill some Dark Brotherhood members as part of the quest line, because they're banned on the island.
I loved every thing about the Thieves Guild except for two Notes, ‘Shipment’s Arrived’ and ‘Timely Offer’. I took the notes literally and spent hours looking for the contents espoused in the notes. I searched every inch of water in, out, and around Riften trying to find that non-existent crate of glass arrows! Did anyone go searching for these Notes’ contents?
The Nightingale armor is the best (in my opinion,Not in stats,But in the design)too bad I didn't go with the stealth build Also the animation they did for the thief's guild quest-line are amazing and I wish they did more of them in the game
Anis BEng they should have done more with the nightingales like maybe rebuild them and bring them back to its old glory days I guess you could say or like some sort of quests with them
Y'know, I was never happy about having to pledge my soul to Nocturnal. My character wanted his soul to go to Sovngarde to be with his people. I would always roleplay that he was secretly hoping to get out of it somehow.
Honestly, as the dragonborne you have promised your soul to so many people that once you die there's probably bound to be some tug-of-war going on. That is, of course, assuming the dragonborn doesn't become a god in their own right by their death, in which case they could potentially just armwrestle the daedras one by one.
here's a fun fact never mentioned in-game, Vekel was once an orphan at Honorhall. Meaning he definitely had to deal with Grelod growing up, kinda sad that they didn't make him comment on that
I dont know whether you already cover this or not but i'll share it anyway: 1. Sapphire is actually the daughter of Glover Mallory (the blacksmith on Raven Rock, Solsteim) 2. You can find out about this, if the player has registered as the member of the thieves guild, the player can actually talk to Glover as he is actually one the members of thieves guild and the brother of Delvin.... then, after that Glover will give you a quest which upon completion, he will give you access to his basement filled with loot.... and in that basement you can find a letter Glever wrote for Sapphire 3. And you can actually take that letter and give it to sapphire... and that will unlock unique dialog from her and personally i think it would hopefully give her some closure(?) To her tragic past I think it still counts as "secret of the thieves guild" cos the game never actually tell us (directly) about this... even the act of giving the letter to Sapphire wont show in your quest journal... Amazing video as always Nate, keep up the good work
I'm kind of proud of myself that the only thing I wasn't aware of was the nightingale thing. Other than that, I was completely aware of everything else because I spend WAAAAY too much time with the guild (I love the thieves guild so much)
Hmm just as I thought... the one to do with a different Elder Scrolls is unknown. I feel that I might have discovered a type of syndrome. I shall call it the Skyrim Syndrome. Where one person plays Skyrim but refuses to play or learn from anything from a different elder scrolls. I better get a Nobel prize for this...
@@metetural9140First off, not original (but nothing is). Second, a lot of people were introduced to Elder Scrolls through Skyrim, that's not a bad thing! Do you really expect someone to know every little detail about every single game whether they've played them or not? It's ridiculous to think that! I've played 3 so far and I definitely don't know that much. Besides videos like these help point people to new information they might not have known about that universe, in fact people might be MORE likely to play the other games if they see something that sounds neat!
@@DaBayleef first off, it would be original if those original people are... wiped from existence... Second, did I say that? I only said that it was ironic that the one to do with another elder scrolls game that wasn't skyrim was not known. That the skyrim community is mainly just a bunch of people who played skyrim and no other elder scrolls game. Third: I disagree. Well with this video atleast. Yes lore and fact videos are very good for people to learn but it isn't when Nate gets things blatantly wrong. Then people think it's right, spread it around and make people believe it.
@@metetural9140 1. Ah yes, I might've misinterpreted the second part a bit because with the way it's worded to me it sounded like you were saying a person will only play Skyrim and pretend the rest doesn't exist or something like that (refuse is a very strong word to use because it's an extreme like never or always so it might sound better but could misconstrue your point. Gotta love essays!) 2. For the most part people should usually take whatever is presented to them at face value (we don't, but we should) because not everything we get told is true, we just hope it is. Fact checking is always a good idea so you don't spread misinformation, but for a game and things like it, it's not the end of the world if something is wrong and if people want to learn more about something and find out "hey this thing was wrong" then cool! If Nate says something wrong, point it out to him and direct him to a SOURCE so he can fix the misinformation! Just telling me that he gets things wrong doesn't help your case too much because you gave me a statement, no proof. 3. When I read your initial comment, it didn't come off as being a joke, it seemed a little rude. If I misinterpreted it completely, I'm sorry about that. I hope this clears things up.
I'm pretty sure Vipir also referred to Sapphire as a "stupid cow" as well then says "You dont know what you're missing!" Nate must've not like it and cut that part out, well played.
The problem with all these Gray Cowl theories is that everyone just ignores how the curse of being removed from history was lifted, making most theories involving the Gray Cowl just in general a moot point
No no no no no. Completely wrong. The Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood are extremely different. They hate each other and the Morag Tong where the ones who killed the Night Mother. The Morag Tong are a legal guild of assassins in Morrowind and kill people for money and to serve justice. Unlike the Dark Brotherhood who just kill for Sithis.
3 things I dislike about the Thieves Guild is you can't take Brynolf, Karliah, Vex, or any of the members as followers, you can't upgrade the Nightingale Hall, and Brynolf has glitched dialogue
Actually, Tonilia will sometimes mention her relationship with Vekel to the player saying something along the lines of "Vekel and me have a thing going. Try anything and it'd be bad for your health." So I guess she has a bit of a jealous streak too. Lol
From what I remember... (it's been a loooong ass time since I played Morrowindle). The Morag Tong are nothing like the Dark Brotherhood, the Morag Tong are legally sanctioned assassins, hence the "Writs of Execution" that you get, you use them if you get caught by the law, basically tells the guards to let you assassinate the target and leave you alone xD...I miss the Morag Tong... I like the idea of lawful assassins haha.
Your characterization of the player interaction with the Morag Tong in their Dragonborn DLC storyline made me laugh so hard, I had to stop the video. Great job!
Fact: Sapphire was supposed to be a marriable character after completing a quest to find out about her father. However Bethesda cut this from the game, you can still find out the truth about her father if you the Dragonborn DLC (but if you do, do not try the Bedlam Job, you will get Raven Rock and it is glitched).
The Volcano didn't destroy all of Morrowind, just Vvardenfell and as we discover it wasn't total, they were and are rebuilding Vvardenfell. If you search around and listen, you discover Balmora and Vivec City are being rebuilt.
Idk, if I was Vex I'd probably take Delvin up on his offer. That was a pretty saucy letter 😏. But I kinda wish you could help Sapphire "take care" of Vipir the Fleet.
How about the little-known fact that Karliah is the granddaughter of Queen Barenziah herself? For reference, see "The Nightingales, Vol. 2" by Gallus Desidenius (in-game book).
It might be a bit crazy, but I found a lot of similarities between Rune's backstory and Lone Starr from Spaceballs. Always thought it was an Easter egg. Maybe Rune is an "Honest to god prince."
If you didn’t know, Sapphire is actually Delvin’s niece, as if you gain access to Glover’s basement in Raven Rock you find a letter addressed to Sapphire, referring to her as Glover’s daughter.
Yeah, I found that out in a different video. Then, after my character helped Glover with his two quest, she got the keys from him and went into the basement, found the note, returned it to Sapphire and she rewarded my character with an exquisite sapphire. But she still won't say what her real name is.
So i just found out that linwe's armour has its own 4 unique enchantmens for stealth skills stronger then the originals. I always wondered if runes name is linked to the bug jars ? 🖒🍁🍀🍻
3:38 I mean you can't blame Sapphire for being uninterested in any form of relationship. If you actually go out of your way to talk to her, you could find out that she was a victim of rape.
Ps: The glowing blue runes on the Grey Fox Mask/ Nocturnal's Cowl says "Shadow Hide You." You might even recognise the second last rune (second from the bottom) as the "O" rune, synonymous with and ubiquitous through Oblivion.
The Gray Fox was only involved in the Cyrodiilic branch of the Thieve's Guild, not the whole of Tamriel. The Theive's Guild as a faction is not like some sort of interconnected web across all of the continent, it's largely independent if you look from province to province, but they're unified by the fact that they are all Thieve's and Criminals. Also, by the end of the Thieve's Guild questline the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal had the Curse lifted from it, meaning it doesn't make any sense if one of his parents was the current Gray Fox. This is just my take on the information we're given though, so if anyone's got anything to add feel free
Me: If we need to kill Karliah why not ask the literal assassin? Mercer: ... Because plot. Me: Oh ok, lets go. As for whats next, how about College of Winterhold?
Hunter Otte: The assassin dude only shows up after you do a bunch of missions to restore the guild, which comes after the mission where you hunt her down.
I know why Rune doesn't have a quest for his lost family, Bethesda accidentally screwed up and gave that quest to the dark elf in the Riften marketplace. The one that Brynolf told you to frame with Madesi's ring. Apparently if you ignore or not speak to Brynolf and go to that dark elf, he'll tell you almost the exact same thing as Rune and he'll send you off to a shipwrecked ship that's full of bandits, to which you'll discover a book that's apparently connected to his family's whereabouts/history. Yes that Dark elf's family also died in a shipwreck and he was discovered by his argonian adoptive father. Hope that clears up Rune storyline.
1. I don't remember encountering the Altmer thieves guild. When was that? 2. So Rune really never was resolved? I think I got him mixed up with the other quest for the Dunmer in the Riften market, but I thought his story was resolved, and I just couldn't remember it.
The Thieves guilds biggest secret is that they don’t just steal anything. They go after the Sweetrolls and all the other valuables are traded for sweetrolls.
Regarding Rune, I suspected the exact same thing. in fact, I started reading books because of that character. I started reading every single book and note I could because part of me wanted to solve that mystery. My suspicion? The player was supposed to be a Nightingale, and Rune was to become the new Guildmaster and it would be a kind of partnership, and he'd have quests as well to go on - like restocking the guild bank with riches. I was hoping for a Fable III type turn where the player had to build up wealth for the guild to help restore their influence.
Me: **become guild master, made the money for everyone, and put the thieves guild back in the good graces of Nocturnal**
Dirge: I don't care if you're friends with the Guildmaster....I'll bash in your skull if you try anything.

I think that was my biggest problem with the skyrim factions, not that the missions were boring or anything, the plots were all just too predictable with obvious bad guys
The fact that the mysterious and rude thalmor agent spying on the school was shockingly revealed to be, *gasp* the main villain of the college of winterhold, really made that story disappointing
Not to get started on the underdeveloped generic bandit look of the Silver Hand who could’ve been a rouge splinter faction from the Companions trying to hunt out the Werewolves within the Companions and stay true to Ysgramor’s memory instead of being literal Daedra worshipping Werewolves.

@@rhett6946 oh feeling daring today are we
I like that mercer was the villain. Cuz too many times elves are often the cause or villain of a quest. You go to a random cave, read a journal, it an elf or wizard being the issue
"You don't know what your missing"
"No, but I do know your going to turn up missing if you keep this up"
*OH.*
When you said "as you attempt to reverse the guilds decline" I realized that applies to pretty much every faction quest in the game....
Bards College, Thieves Guild, Mages Guild, Dark Brotherhood, arguably the Companions....
Bethesda is pretty blunt with their "you're the chosen one" trends with how NPCs and the game world treats you
*_Plot twist: we arent special, everyone else just sucks_*
Can’t wait until the next game comes out. I still and will always love Skyrim but I think we can all agree that constantly getting new armor sets and not expecting Mercer to betray you was awesome in your first play through.
I hope he added the one where you find sapphires father
If only you could tell her 😭

Oh shit.
Just to clarify something about the Morag Tong, they were legal in Morrowind. There's a full faction quest line where you work for them, and guards will let you go after you kill your target since you have a Writ of Execution in your inventory. You also get to kill some Dark Brotherhood members as part of the quest line, because they're banned on the island.
I loved every thing about the Thieves Guild except for two Notes, ‘Shipment’s Arrived’ and ‘Timely Offer’. I took the notes literally and spent hours looking for the contents espoused in the notes. I searched every inch of water in, out, and around Riften trying to find that non-existent crate of glass arrows! Did anyone go searching for these Notes’ contents?
Oh yeah! (And yeah, I'm 3 years late to your comment and this video! 🤣)
@@WalterPavlikII I appreciate that you commented and that I wasn’t the only one on that searched for those nonexistent crates!
The Nightingale armor is the best (in my opinion,Not in stats,But in the design)too bad I didn't go with the stealth build
Also the animation they did for the thief's guild quest-line are amazing and I wish they did more of them in the game
i wish i can enhance it
I prefer blackguard
Anis BEng they should have done more with the nightingales like maybe rebuild them and bring them back to its old glory days I guess you could say or like some sort of quests with them
I looks like a black version of moon knoghts armiur
Y'know, I was never happy about having to pledge my soul to Nocturnal. My character wanted his soul to go to Sovngarde to be with his people. I would always roleplay that he was secretly hoping to get out of it somehow.
I mean if it helps you, think about it as that, since you are dragon born and have the soul of a dragon, akatosh/auri el makes the decision.
Honestly, as the dragonborne you have promised your soul to so many people that once you die there's probably bound to be some tug-of-war going on. That is, of course, assuming the dragonborn doesn't become a god in their own right by their death, in which case they could potentially just armwrestle the daedras one by one.
I’m sure at the end
It depends who the Dragonborn believes and worships more that their soul goes to that belief
@@AstarionWifey nope they are definitely going to akatosh as the dragon born is a dragon and there many theories that supports this claim.
and ANOTHER member having their advances rejected by another thief in the guild is ME, getting rejected by BRYNJOLF
Lol you cut out Vipir insulting Sapphire? He actually says "You cow, you don't know what you're missing!"

*You stupid cow* he called her stupid as well. Which really lead to her threat. Considering what she’s been through, can’t say I blame her.
here's a fun fact never mentioned in-game, Vekel was once an orphan at Honorhall. Meaning he definitely had to deal with Grelod growing up, kinda sad that they didn't make him comment on that
And for the first one, it kind of gets confirmed by Glover Mallory in Raven Rock that Delvin has a thing for Vex.
I swear to god Nate. If you don't give us a load order video of your EXACT load order... WE RIOT!!!
It wasn’t that important but Delvin’s brother in Raven Rock asks something like “Is Delvin still trying to get In with Vex?”
there's also a not lying around in the guild where vex threatens to kill delvin the next time he tries to peep on her naked
@@deni6943 that note made me laugh 😂
I dont know whether you already cover this or not but i'll share it anyway:
1. Sapphire is actually the daughter of Glover Mallory (the blacksmith on Raven Rock, Solsteim)
2. You can find out about this, if the player has registered as the member of the thieves guild, the player can actually talk to Glover as he is actually one the members of thieves guild and the brother of Delvin.... then, after that Glover will give you a quest which upon completion, he will give you access to his basement filled with loot.... and in that basement you can find a letter Glever wrote for Sapphire
3. And you can actually take that letter and give it to sapphire... and that will unlock unique dialog from her and personally i think it would hopefully give her some closure(?) To her tragic past
I think it still counts as "secret of the thieves guild" cos the game never actually tell us (directly) about this... even the act of giving the letter to Sapphire wont show in your quest journal...
Amazing video as always Nate, keep up the good work
I love it when you say "The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim"

I'm just annoyed that you can't destroy them like you can the Dark Brotherhood for full paragon of virtue points.
I'm kind of proud of myself that the only thing I wasn't aware of was the nightingale thing. Other than that, I was completely aware of everything else because I spend WAAAAY too much time with the guild (I love the thieves guild so much)
Hmm just as I thought... the one to do with a different Elder Scrolls is unknown. I feel that I might have discovered a type of syndrome. I shall call it the Skyrim Syndrome. Where one person plays Skyrim but refuses to play or learn from anything from a different elder scrolls.
I better get a Nobel prize for this...
@@metetural9140First off, not original (but nothing is).
Second, a lot of people were introduced to Elder Scrolls through Skyrim, that's not a bad thing! Do you really expect someone to know every little detail about every single game whether they've played them or not? It's ridiculous to think that! I've played 3 so far and I definitely don't know that much.
Besides videos like these help point people to new information they might not have known about that universe, in fact people might be MORE likely to play the other games if they see something that sounds neat!
@@DaBayleef first off, it would be original if those original people are... wiped from existence...
Second, did I say that? I only said that it was ironic that the one to do with another elder scrolls game that wasn't skyrim was not known. That the skyrim community is mainly just a bunch of people who played skyrim and no other elder scrolls game.
Third: I disagree. Well with this video atleast. Yes lore and fact videos are very good for people to learn but it isn't when Nate gets things blatantly wrong. Then people think it's right, spread it around and make people believe it.
@@metetural9140 1. Ah yes, I might've misinterpreted the second part a bit because with the way it's worded to me it sounded like you were saying a person will only play Skyrim and pretend the rest doesn't exist or something like that (refuse is a very strong word to use because it's an extreme like never or always so it might sound better but could misconstrue your point. Gotta love essays!)
2. For the most part people should usually take whatever is presented to them at face value (we don't, but we should) because not everything we get told is true, we just hope it is. Fact checking is always a good idea so you don't spread misinformation, but for a game and things like it, it's not the end of the world if something is wrong and if people want to learn more about something and find out "hey this thing was wrong" then cool! If Nate says something wrong, point it out to him and direct him to a SOURCE so he can fix the misinformation! Just telling me that he gets things wrong doesn't help your case too much because you gave me a statement, no proof.
3. When I read your initial comment, it didn't come off as being a joke, it seemed a little rude. If I misinterpreted it completely, I'm sorry about that. I hope this clears things up.
I realize comments were deleted but this really just feels like I'm hearing a conversation between Cicero and his Hat or something
the saddest fact of the thieves guild: cant marry brynjolf 💔😔
Can't marry the coins 💔😔

Aww imagine Nate's babies continuing his ES legacy of making tiny detail videos for future ES games! I'd make my kids watch.
I'm pretty sure Vipir also referred to Sapphire as a "stupid cow" as well then says "You dont know what you're missing!" Nate must've not like it and cut that part out, well played.
If some one stole your sweet role you now know who did it
I can see it now in the DLC after Elswyer, the NPC: Nathan Epicus
Let me guess , someone stole your sweetroll
The problem with all these Gray Cowl theories is that everyone just ignores how the curse of being removed from history was lifted, making most theories involving the Gray Cowl just in general a moot point
I thought the Morag Tong were a group the dark brotherhood descended from. I read a book in Skyrim that mentioned them both together.
No no no no no. Completely wrong. The Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood are extremely different. They hate each other and the Morag Tong where the ones who killed the Night Mother. The Morag Tong are a legal guild of assassins in Morrowind and kill people for money and to serve justice. Unlike the Dark Brotherhood who just kill for Sithis.
I like how in the first 10 seconds he shows a clip where he kills someone and the thiefs guild while thing is they dont want to kill people
3 things I dislike about the Thieves Guild is you can't take Brynolf, Karliah, Vex, or any of the members as followers, you can't upgrade the Nightingale Hall, and Brynolf has glitched dialogue
But we broke the curse on the cowl in Oblivion. History was restored after we broke it.
Daedric artifacts usually end up back with the daedric prince they came from, to be given out again at some other time
Keep up the good work Nate! I love your videos
Actually, Tonilia will sometimes mention her relationship with Vekel to the player saying something along the lines of "Vekel and me have a thing going. Try anything and it'd be bad for your health." So I guess she has a bit of a jealous streak too. Lol
She said that to my male character once
Thieves are always my favorite guild to join in any game.
From what I remember... (it's been a loooong ass time since I played Morrowindle). The Morag Tong are nothing like the Dark Brotherhood, the Morag Tong are legally sanctioned assassins, hence the "Writs of Execution" that you get, you use them if you get caught by the law, basically tells the guards to let you assassinate the target and leave you alone xD...I miss the Morag Tong... I like the idea of lawful assassins haha.
This is the only good part about this day.
We love a skyrim video!
Your characterization of the player interaction with the Morag Tong in their Dragonborn DLC storyline made me laugh so hard, I had to stop the video. Great job!
I’d love to point out the fact that Gallus wrote the nightingale books... you know the old guild master who mercer killed
Can confirm. I have gotten married and had my first child waiting for Elder Scrolls VI.
My kids are waiting for TES6, and unfortunately, they've only played Skyrim.
Fact: Sapphire was supposed to be a marriable character after completing a quest to find out about her father. However Bethesda cut this from the game, you can still find out the truth about her father if you the Dragonborn DLC (but if you do, do not try the Bedlam Job, you will get Raven Rock and it is glitched).
Thankfully, you can talk to Delvin about cancelling the job with no repercussions.
Cicero never understood thieves really…take someone’s stuff before you kill them, and they call me crazy
Honor among thieves my brother
Oooo vex blushed when he read the lusty argonian maid
Ah, yes! My favorite guild :D
I just have to say, love your pfp. Who made it, if may ask?
The thieves guild is my favorite faction
The dark brotherhood is my favorite questline....
The Volcano didn't destroy all of Morrowind, just Vvardenfell and as we discover it wasn't total, they were and are rebuilding Vvardenfell. If you search around and listen, you discover Balmora and Vivec City are being rebuilt.
By the time TESVI comes out, I am pretty sure my kid will close to graduating HS 😂 Leaves me plenty of time to wonder

@@juggs7899 *wHo cArEs?* 😏😫
How about the little-known fact that Karliah is the granddaughter of Queen Barenziah herself? For reference, see "The Nightingales, Vol. 2" by Gallus Desidenius (in-game book).
It might be a bit crazy, but I found a lot of similarities between Rune's backstory and Lone Starr from Spaceballs. Always thought it was an Easter egg. Maybe Rune is an "Honest to god prince."
That would be hilarious.
If you didn’t know, Sapphire is actually Delvin’s niece, as if you gain access to Glover’s basement in Raven Rock you find a letter addressed to Sapphire, referring to her as Glover’s daughter.
Yeah, I found that out in a different video. Then, after my character helped Glover with his two quest, she got the keys from him and went into the basement, found the note, returned it to Sapphire and she rewarded my character with an exquisite sapphire. But she still won't say what her real name is.
So i just found out that linwe's armour has its own 4 unique enchantmens for stealth skills stronger then the originals.
I always wondered if runes name is linked to the bug jars ?
🖒🍁🍀🍻
The bug jars have always bugged me
3:38 I mean you can't blame Sapphire for being uninterested in any form of relationship. If you actually go out of your way to talk to her, you could find out that she was a victim of rape.
Oh, Thieves Guild? No "murdering to death", then. Pity...
Wrong. Theres lots of murdering to death in the thieves guild.
So much for "not being the Dark Brotherhood" Brynjolf.
Ps: The glowing blue runes on the Grey Fox Mask/ Nocturnal's Cowl says "Shadow Hide You."
You might even recognise the second last rune (second from the bottom) as the "O" rune, synonymous with and ubiquitous through Oblivion.
5 facts about the blackbriar family. Nate I need this
The Gray Fox was only involved in the Cyrodiilic branch of the Thieve's Guild, not the whole of Tamriel. The Theive's Guild as a faction is not like some sort of interconnected web across all of the continent, it's largely independent if you look from province to province, but they're unified by the fact that they are all Thieve's and Criminals. Also, by the end of the Thieve's Guild questline the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal had the Curse lifted from it, meaning it doesn't make any sense if one of his parents was the current Gray Fox. This is just my take on the information we're given though, so if anyone's got anything to add feel free
Me: If we need to kill Karliah why not ask the literal assassin?
Mercer: ... Because plot.
Me: Oh ok, lets go.
As for whats next, how about College of Winterhold?
You mean the really shit version of the Mage's Guild? Sorry but last time I checked the College exploded.
no, @@metetural9140, everyone at the college was mysteriously killed. That's it, really.
@@poofbomb-minecraftmore1883 oh. Cant it blow up as well? Make sure no one can ever remember it again? Wipe it from history?
Hunter Otte: The assassin dude only shows up after you do a bunch of missions to restore the guild, which comes after the mission where you hunt her down.
@@zigzaghyena Oh, makes sense then why he wasn't brought up. Thanks.
I know why Rune doesn't have a quest for his lost family, Bethesda accidentally screwed up and gave that quest to the dark elf in the Riften marketplace. The one that Brynolf told you to frame with Madesi's ring. Apparently if you ignore or not speak to Brynolf and go to that dark elf, he'll tell you almost the exact same thing as Rune and he'll send you off to a shipwrecked ship that's full of bandits, to which you'll discover a book that's apparently connected to his family's whereabouts/history. Yes that Dark elf's family also died in a shipwreck and he was discovered by his argonian adoptive father. Hope that clears up Rune storyline.
1. I don't remember encountering the Altmer thieves guild. When was that?
2. So Rune really never was resolved? I think I got him mixed up with the other quest for the Dunmer in the Riften market, but I thought his story was resolved, and I just couldn't remember it.
Quest from Delvin Mallory in windhelm after Doing five jobs there from Delvin or vex

Vex:aren't you running a job for Delvin
the two guys who stay at the entrance to go to the guild always make me understand that they are a couple
what if rune was wearing the grey fox cowel before the ship wreck as a kid and lost his memory that way
Regarding Rune, I suspected the exact same thing. in fact, I started reading books because of that character. I started reading every single book and note I could because part of me wanted to solve that mystery. My suspicion? The player was supposed to be a Nightingale, and Rune was to become the new Guildmaster and it would be a kind of partnership, and he'd have quests as well to go on - like restocking the guild bank with riches. I was hoping for a Fable III type turn where the player had to build up wealth for the guild to help restore their influence.
