  • I am really sorry everyone that this took so long! I am so sorry and it won't happen again! Expect a lot more like this in faster increments :D
    If you guys get this video to 5k likes then I will do a Lore video on the Dragon Priest Kings, which are all the named dragon priests like Vokun, Volsung, Krosis, etc. Also, make sure to comment on the video for a chance to win a $100 amazon gift card!
    The Dragon Priests are incredibly interesting to me specifically for the way they control the draugr. The fact that the draugr show signs of unlimited power is something of great concern, since no known being that currently lives in Nirn should possess that power; except for maybe something like the Heart of Lorkhan or something along those lines.
    But anyways, hope you all enjoyed and I will see you guys soon! Peace!
    Please support me by pressing the like, favorite, and subscribe buttons!
    It truly helps me out, you guys have no idea. Let me know how I did in the comments below!

    Every time i fight a very strong Drougr, like a Death Lord, they always keep talking in Ancient Nordic,
    Now i'm wondering if they are just saying, "Clean up! Clean up! Everybody do your share!" That would be a great moral boost if i had to clean a tomb everyday for 4 thousand years.

  • @Kingfatmon
    @Kingfatmon 10 лет назад +44

    Just to add something in regards to the Dragon Priests' names--their names were actually bestowed unto them by the dragons who governed them. They were actually given dragon names, which elevated the Dragon Priests into the ranks of the dragons. In a sense, this meant that the Dragon Priests, who were gifted the names of dragons, were the closest beings to dragons.

    • @tommyholm9831
      @tommyholm9831 9 лет назад +1

      So basically Konahrik is a dragon warlord then?That would make sense why no other priest has his mask since one a truly strong and worthy priest would have it also dragon priests with names are higher ranked priests than normal dragons cause a dragon with a name for example Alduin,Paarthanax,etc. Is a high ranking dragon since dragons only get names when proven worthy of it.

      @Arterexius 8 лет назад +4

      I'd say that it is more likely to be from the Eye of Magnus. Since the ancient nords, back when they first inhabited Skyrim, founded Saarthal and found the Eye of Magnus down there. There is a pretty good chance that they figured out how to use its energy :)

      @harryunderwood9387 4 года назад +1

      They can't be alive in the traditional sense for obvious reasons, but also because you can Soul Trap these "humans" in white Soul Gems. That implies that their souls have been fractured so much I doubt they are even aware of their surroundings apart from the tomb / ruins they inhabit. I know there was a certain soul you could speak to in the Mara Priest quests, who could still see the recent aftermath of a fight that happened ages ago, so it's possible that something of that nature is happening here, especially since you very rarely see Draugr wandering in the outside world (Skuldafn excluded for obvious reasons).

    look at that fanfiction about Konahrik:
    In the Merethic Era, when dragons still ruled over men in Skyrim, there were people who were given power in return for utter loyalty to the dragons. These people were the dragon priests. Originally, nine of the most powerful priests were placed as king-like figures in the ancient society, ruling by the will of the dragons. They were given mighty masks and incredible staffs by the dragons to better rule of the people of Skyrim. The most powerful priest of this nine was Konahrik, meaning Warlord in the Dovah tongue, the only dragon priest to be Dragonborn. The other priests feared him jealously because of his power, while dragons were glad to have someone under their influence with such abilities.
    However, when the Dragon Wars began, the other eight priests saw their opportunity to spitefully attempt to kill Konahrik without the dragon's interference in the chaos, and with their united power, he could not hold. They stripped him of his mask and staff, but he was still too powerful to be killed by them. Instead, the dragon priests sealed him on the border of Skyrim in a comatose state within a lost crypt. While Konahrik was sealed, the dragons lost the war when Alduin was defeated, and the other priests were slaughtered. Ironically, Konahrik was the only to survive. Although as the centuries passed, his power and prowess began to fade, leaving him again much like any human. But his dragonblood still ran strong, and when Alduin resurfaced, he was awoken. He returned to Skyrim, but was caught by soldiers and mistaken for a common criminal...

    Theory: The draugr are certainly in a state of decay (no pun intended) so what if after 4,000 years, their energy is actually decreasing just at a very slow state, this would also explain why the priests are in a weakened lich form.

      Back then, Dragons were known as Lesser Aedra, or Aedra, because I would definitely not use the term lesser, at least not in front dragon's face. So the real question is, why would the Daedra help the lesser Aedra? Well... Except for Hermaus Mora, Since he has a thing for little dragon borns. Especially with that rainbow color dragon shout.

    I just go skyrim + all DLC on discount for $14 on steam, and so far i've come across 2 dragon priests across 33h of gameplay. The first I found was at wall with a word of power. After I killed that dragon there, I came to claim my prize of the word of power when a tomb I payed no attention to popped open and a floating masked dragon priest rose up and fucking ruined my shit in 3 seconds with a full-auto fireball staff (I was lvl 17), so I reloaded, grabbed the WoP and booked it. The second was in the raven rock mines when I was lvl 20-something. I ended up exploiting a glitch by firing ice spikes and arrows at him from behind a rock that he just sat on the other side off, unmoving except for the occasional attempted lightning bolt that landed flat in front of me. Eventually I killed him and took his mask. :D

Your Daedra Lore is definitely the best out of all the Daedra lore videos I have seen - both content-wise and presentation-wise. Of course, that being said, me - and I`m sure many others - would love for you to explain the many geographical locations of Nirn, namely what we know so far about Akavir, everything we know about Atmora and Yokuda, the Thrassean Reef, the concept of Aldmeris and Pyandonea.

    What about Krosis? I've heard draugr refer to him before they get an axe in the head and Paarthunax sometimes says 'Krosis' when you talk to him. Maybe it's a coincidence. Just in case, what is krosis' translation into English? Krosis is I'd guess, ancient Nordic or dragon

    • @naplzt4k
      @naplzt4k 9 лет назад +26

      Every Dragon Priests name is in the dragon language...Krosis means sorrow or apologies (apologies is likely how Paarthurnax is using it and sorrow is likely the name of the Dragon Priest).
      Maria O I don't want to spoil anything but he's not the only priest that's not in a tomb.

    • @Zobmoon02
      @Zobmoon02 9 лет назад +9

      Yes, the dragon priest are named after the mask. This is proven by not only parrthurnax saying Krosis, which seems to mean curses by the way he uses it as well as the mask ability to improve alchemy, but also Konariik. Konariik is a word as well. These words are both ancient dragon not Nordic as the Nords took on the language of the dragons. You can tell this by the fact that the draugr speak aping he dragon tongue even when they are not shouting. Each dragon priest is even referred to by the resist dents of skyrim by their mask name, and when you kill them it says, Krosis for example, Krosis on the ash pile that they turn into. Thus they were named after their mask. But this also shows that the mask name alluded to their abilities as Krosis is a mask for lock picking, alchemy, and archery which would all fit with putting some sort of burden on an opponent or causing havoc silently such as a curse would which is how parthurrnax uses it it. To mean curses or damn. And Konariik I believe means something like champion or something like that lol idk exactly but it close to some type of honored warrior and the mask ability is about keeping opyou strong and in the fight.

    So this means the actual cause for why the dragons "gone bad" was the arrival of the Nord in Skyrim? If I understood that right, all was Love and Tolerance until the Nord said "Fuck you, we don't want to obey your Dragon Priest laws!" o.O

    Excellent video Rhexx. I've watched a few of these lore videos now and I'm very impressed. The Dwemer video was particularly good, especially considering a good number of the people who play Skyrim have never played Morrowind. A video that discusses vampire lore throughout the Elder Scrolls would probably be interesting. The origin, history, and differences between the clans, etc. Good show.

      @Juleris 8 лет назад

      Caleb Kopp He's the Aedric god of magic and he has two artifacts, uncommon for a lot of Aedra: The Eye of Magnus and the Staff of Magnus.
      He was the first Aedra to escape being weakened by the creation of Mundus, and because of this, he left the biggest tear in the sky when he escaped, since he still had a lot of his power, the biggest tear being represented as the Sun.

    • @calebkopp7636

    • @Juleris
      @Juleris 8 лет назад

      Caleb Kopp No, he helped but he was the first spirit to realize that the creation of Mundus was sapping their power and left. Many spirits were too weak when they left and the holes became the stars. Just because a spirit left doesn't mean that they are a Daedra. The Altmer have a special connection to Magnus if anything, and you know that they revere the Aedra like ancestors.

    The draugr and dragon priests are actually dead (which is why the game considers them UNDEAD when reanimated) and get reanimated by the spell you mentioned (they were KILLED not put to sleep). REANIMATED not brought back to life. Meaning none of them are in their right mind, which is why they attack on sight and cannot reason. It also means none of them fight you with their full power. A reanimated Krosis is weaker than the Real Krosis were he alive.
