The Elder Scrolls Lore: Alduin

Alduin, the World Eater, is a massive black dragon who's duty it is to consume the world and all of Mundus to end the Kalpa cycle in order to start a new one. However, at one point he grew too proud and arrogant, and instead wanted to conquer Mundus for himself. This video discusses his origins, his duty as world eater, and how his own arrogance has met his "supposed" demise.

~Sidenote: Hi everyone! Today is my birthday, a lore video on Alduin isn't exactly the brightest tone for a birthday lol but for some reason I was compelled to make this, I also wanted to apologize if this video seems too short, (unfortunately I couldn't find much more info on Alduin despite him being the main antagonist in TESV), and I also apologize for any weird audio issues in this video such with the music and/or my voice. Thank you for your kind understanding and I appreciate all your helpful and lovely comments on my videos, Thank you all so much.
