Hey guys! Really need some help. I've recently decided to play the companions questline, been a while and this might be my 10+ play through. And I've never had any problems with it. But yesterday, while trying to start the "silver hand" quest, I would go out to the skyforge at night, but aela just doesn't show up! I've looked online, in nexus forums, and just about every Reddit post, but can't find any solution to this bug. I think it might be due to the "immersive citizens" mod, but I'm not sure. I don't know where else to turn, and I'm hoping Nate or anyone from this amazing channel community could help out. Cheers
During one of my playthroughs, this happened: It was early game and I ended up in Morthal while very low leveled. I was on the outskirts of Morthal when I got attacked by Frostbite spiders. Because I was very underleveled (to the point I can't even take on Frostbite spiders) I ran back to Morthal since it was close by and hope the guards can help me kill them, luckily they did. But, along with the guards, a few of Morthal's civilians also jumped in to help, one of them, was Alva. During the fight Alva *spoiler* used her vampire soul drain on the spiders, in front of EVERYONE including the guards. After the fight resolved with the spiders being killed, everyone went back to normal like nothing happened. I was like: "Wait! Did you guys not see the woman using vampire powers right in front of you in broad daylight?!"
Yeah this happened to me too except alva immediately attacked me while the guards and citizens simply watched. And I ran to labyrinthian, to get away from her and hide. Then I died by the trolls
What difficultie level did you play this play through on? Because even on my normal play through I could take a frost bite spider quite easily low leveled with just a one handed sword or my bow from range???
me: "I know everything about this game, I have like 5000 hours in the game" Nate: "Did you know that kid has some lusty argonian maid under his bed and the alchemist is a follower of sheogorath and does drugs, didn't think so"
I have a tiny detail about alvar and hrogar too! When you are sent to kill alva use a clam/ pacify spell on hrogar and kill her ending her enthrallment, hrogar will thank the player but the thing is he becomes eligible for being a spouse and if you do marry him YOU CAN LIVE IN ALVA'S HOUSE basically the only house in the game the player can use as a home with a coffin inside makes for a nice role playing aspect for a vampire play through.
as a german, I always thought Morthal sounded like a combination of the german words Moor and Tal. Moor meaning Swamp, and Tal meaning Valley, The City would be called Swamp-Valley. I know that's most likely not the intended name, but that's what I had in my mind every time I heard the name and I also thought it fits quite well when you consider the location of the city XD
Gob1 it’s the story behind the helm. During ysgramors campaign the sea of ghosts was extremely dangerous (kinda sucks that there wasn’t ghosts in the game but whatever) and so Yngol, the son of Ysgramor, attempted to cross back to Atmora and clear the way. He and his crew fought against the ghosts but a few days later, the ship landed back against Skyrim’s shores. The only thing still intact was Yngol’s helmet. Ysgramor grieved for many days and built the spire of Yngol to always be in view of the city. If you go to the tomb of yngol the account and meaning is told in the book you find.
Idgrod is actually my favorite Jarl in Skyrim; always loved how smart and wise she was as a leader putting her city foremost over the war and any other issue. Not only that but if you end up befriending her she can play a major role in helping you at the Embassy in hilarious fashion and proving that she is a friend you can truly count on in a time of need despite her roles as a Jarl.
@@eminemre2210 The fact that she doesn't even question your motives and the way she does it is what makes her great. Great to know any Jarl will help out though.
"I heard that Falion in morthol, studies draugr, vampires, and all matter of undead." Oh, i...uh.... thanks? I actually just came to sell you 82 red apples.
My favorite thing is when Falion's sister tells you that line. (I don't remember her name but she runs the inn.) Like, girl you literally moved here with him
Another fun fact: There's a glitch when doing the quest Laid to Rest where Alva survives, after which she'll just return to Morthal and either be attacked on sight or continue living as if nothing happened. When this glitch happened to me, I found her in the quest's vampire den fighting another vampire.
That's not a glitch, you can "choose" to let her live by sneaking or going to her home while she's not there. If you manage to save her when she goes back to the cave, which is hard, she'll comeback to Morthal and live there cuz no one but you know her secret. If people start attacking her on sight, now, that's a glitch.
WhatTheFox Thanks for clearing that up. I only noticed it recently because in past playthroughs she would seemingly disappear, although I don’t ever recall killing her.
@@whatthefox7435 Yeah, the actual "glitch" or oversight is the fact that her vampire friends turn hostile on her, which is why she usually dies in the cave. I haven't seen townspeople attacking her after the quest ends, but I believe you need to show the Jarl Alva's journal to advance in the quest, so her secret should be out. But usually she gets to live on in Morthal with no one bothering her, so that's another side of the original oversight. What should happen is that her faction is changed from Morthal-friendly to vampire-friendly when the quest gets to the stage of her returning to the vampire cave--but it doesn't.
Haha, I discovered this on my current game too. Alva wasn’t home when I went to steal the journal, though Serana murdered Hrogger to death before I could try to calm him. I found Alva down in the vampire den just hanging out near a bedroll and kind of just left her... I figured if the villagers took her out they’d have their revenge. I haven’t been back to the town since that happened, so I’ll have to look for her when I go back. I was a little busy smacking down Alduin.
@Mr. Al but fo3 gives you no decision making, no iron sights, fo3 IS barren. FO3 isn't very good. Lots of hours spent running and running. The fucking city in that game with all the damn rubble
Yet for some reason, they still thought it was a good idea to maintain the 125 "radiant" quests required for the Thieves' Guild to return them to their former level of glory. What a waste.
When i was playing Skyrim today, I noticed something that I hadn't picked up on before, I was with Farkas and I dropped some hide bracers that I had accidentally picked up, then when I turned around and spoke with him, he said "here you dropped this" and handed me those same bracers... I don't know, might be my mods... Or I had just never noticed it before. Thought it was cute

There is probably a mod that makes hjallmarch (don't know if thats correct spelling) darker and foggier with maybe more frostbite spiders with a scarier design but I don't know
Morihaus was actually a Minotaur sent by the gods, but a group (can't remember the name) that didn't like non humans changed his portrayal in history to be a regular human.
Technically he wasn't a Minotaur. Belharza, the child of Morihaus and Alessia, is said to be the first Minotaur. This is probably because Morihaus is a demigod; he's considered "ada" and doesn't belong to a race of mortals.
Nate's Skyrim community is just so great. There is no toxicity in the comments. Every comment is funny or constructive and sometimes provides some neat little info. We even have our very own celebrities like that Cookie Wookie guy. All in all this is a great place to be in.
Nate: It (Alva) is a terrifying T H O T Edit: Why name your city after some cyrodylic hero? Because Nords hate elves. Mention elf killing heroes and they go “I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK”
Here’s something that just happened in one of my games. I had the dark brotherhood quest to kill Lurbuk. I used a fury spell on him to make him attack me. The tavern owner Jonna and Alva the secret vampire did the job for me completing that park of the quest with no bounty. Funny part is that Alva used her vampire powers to kill the orc. P.S. the fury spell method has worked before. I theorize that the player can complete most of the dark brotherhood story line without needing to kill anyone except the emperor.
Bethesda slept on Morthal bigtime. So much missed opportunity here. They could have made it so spooky! I would have loved to see a quest featuring Jarl Idgrod and her visions. And perhaps cult happenings in a cave right underneath the town. They could have done SO much with this place.
I'm still so mad and depressed about Skyrim having so much cut out from it, and still wish they'd finish it properly.... they had so many opportunities with all the rereleases...
Assuming Morihaus is the namesake of the town, they would've named it for him for a few reasons. 1. The Nords aided the Alessian rebellion and were pseudo-allies to the empire that followed. 2. Morihaus was said to be the demigod son of Kyne, sent from Skyrim to free the Nords' cyrodiilic cousins from elven rule. The Nords themselves are the children of Kyne/the sky. Due to his relationship to Kyne (or vice-versa), he's also associated with the Thu'um, meaning the Nords revere him even more.
Hey Nate! I just wanted to say your content has inspired me to make my own Skyrim videos. Your probably not going to read this but I just wanted to say thank you for all you do!
@@user-112hjjsnl *This comment is partially a joke, partially concern. *Regardless, I don't need to know if he's okay- the real reason for asking something like this is to show people do care and they do notice. *I don't expect him to actually tell me, but I feel solace in the fact that he might see it and know people do care about his wellbeing, especially during the current crisis. EVERYONE needs to know that right now.
During a recent play through I went to redwater den and spoke to an imperial deserter and he mentions helgen and the player about to meet the headsman axe.
She might be horridly bored in dreary dark Morthal, and is looking for a chemical escape. She's an alchemist, she'd know all the good and bad sides of potions, poisons and drugs.
Good point. She may have been trying to research a cure for madness for Joric. Even though his sister, Idgrod the Younger, tells us (almost fervently), "Please don't mind Joric. He's not mad...really!"
I noticed a tiny detail in Winterhold: when you speak to Enthir as part of the quest Arniel's Endeavor after you've become Archmage, Enthir is quite a bit more polite in his dialogue.
Dude, I don't know how you do that, but I'm impressed with how you still manage to find Skyrim facts that to this very day we didn't know about. Your narration is really good, and it keeps me immersed in the video. Been watching you for quite some time, and this is my first time commenting. Just wanted to thank you, Nate!
Actually idgrod the younger is supposed to be the heir, she herself even says mom constantly says that ill he jarl someday, i just hope i can help morthal like she has
Yes but yeas aligned with her mother, and if a change of jarls were to be made by this betrayal, they would put someone more sided with the empire, that's what he's trying to say (sorry if bad written)
For why Morthal was named after Morihaus, it was because Morihaus was said to be the son of Kyne. And since Kyne is a major God in the Nordic Pantheon, they understandably named one of their holds after her son.
my favorite "City" in skyrim. that quest to go in and kill the vampire in the cave is always fun. I find vampires to be the true challenge in skyrim as opposed to dragons. it also helps that morthal has copious amounts of ingredients necessary to make paralyze/damage over time poisons.
Another fun fact, if you have the follower mod Lucien and are in Morthal, he'll say something along the lines of that if you rearrange the letters of Morthal it'll spell Thalmor
You open an Ancient Burial Tomb of the Nords, you stare into the abyss for a long moment, you take your first step and you hear something move in the darkness, you shout out with your mighty voice "Who goes there" Silence. After a long pause the dreadful monster steps out of the shadows, speaking in a twisted voice: Hey guys, It's Nate here."
When I gave Aldis the letter, I always got this vibe that the little intent to start a coup with actually a one-sided affair and Aldis was forced to humor his ‘partner’ by coming to Morthal to investigate because of his job
I’m considering moving to either Solitude or Riften, but I’m not sure where to go. I see that you are a Solitude guard so I hope your knowledge can help me decide.
Another sadly truncated story line in Morthal is the mage Falion, his motivation for being in Morthal, why he has secret visits to the marsh at night, how he knows the cure to vampirism etc.
Unrelated but I gave a Reikling follower the BloodSkaal blade to hold onto and it actually shows him carrying it. I was amazed to see that. It's amazing after 8 years of playing this game I'm still finding new things that surprise me
You know how to become Thane, Jarls will ask you to serve their people, and you have to perform quests for residents? "For the Good of Morthal" mentioned in this video will qualify you for this. It boosts your friendship with the quest giver, and the Jarl doesn't seem to care even if you have the letter in your inventory.
Hey Nate! Did you know if you enter a stormcloak camp (before picking a side) dressed head toe in imperial officer armor, you can get special dialogue saying, "you have a lot of nerve coming here dressed like that."
I’ve always liked Morthal. Igrod, ever since the Thalmor Embassy quest, has been my favourite Jarl. She was looking for some fun in such a miserable and over planned party and agrees to help you out. Her distraction is pretty funny too. She just seems very chill and very well written. Oh and there is someone called Seren, which is my little sisters name. I’ve never heard of any other people named Seren than those two. Again, thanks for making this video. It’s really nice to have something to watch when at home.
If you use a calm spell on Alva and then inform the jarl about her, she will run from the town to the vampire cave and the guards will start shooting at her, if she makes it she's usually on the side passage after you take out the main vampire.
About Morihaus, the Nords made up a large margin of the Cyrodillic forces during Alesia’s rebellion and they rallied behind Morihaus and Pelinal Whitestrake out of a desire to kill elves and a love for battle. They probably honored Morihaus for his battle prowess.
Hey Nate, have you experienced the unique line of dialogue if you fight Alduin with the Bloodskal blade? This would happen during the first encounter at the Throat of the World. I’ve done it twice to see what will trigger it. I’ve found that if you equip it before the battle begins, then use Dragonrend, he will comment on the blade and how the Dragonborn is not equal to his ancient foes, or something like that. It was on my first play through and I didn’t realize it was a unique line until I fought him a second time.
What I like about his vids is because he explains his theory/opinion and then he tells extra details then he gives other people's theroys/opinions and then he says why he thinks his theroy is correct then he sums it up and that's why I like his vids ❤️😊
This made my day simply because it's something to listen to while I try to get through my rough week till my days off... *sigh* I'll take two lore-keep.
I remember when I first played the game and spoke to Alva upon first visiting the settlement (I try to talk to all NPC's) and she was saying how she knew what I was and to stay away from the blood in the town, I was so baffled and literally sat there like "Whut?" 😂
I would love a video about the dremora! Dremora lord is my favorite to spawn and just sit back and watch him go bezerk on bandits and falmer with full rage!
The origin of the name is Morthal cause Morihaus was with the nords army to help Alessia to fight the elves, in fact Morihaus can use the thu'um, that's why Skyrim have a big link to Cyrodiil empire cause nords give a great help to defeat the ayleids, and the pantheon of Cyrodiil gain some nords god.

There is no toxicity in the comments.
Every comment is funny or constructive and sometimes provides some neat little info.
We even have our very own celebrities like that Cookie Wookie guy.
All in all this is a great place to be in.

Edit: Why name your city after some cyrodylic hero?
Because Nords hate elves. Mention elf killing heroes and they go “I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK”
After years of Skyrim content, he has almost found every tiny detail, every secret, now he will really have to dig deep
And then he’s disappear, presumably by Mora himself
Here’s something that just happened in one of my games. I had the dark brotherhood quest to kill Lurbuk. I used a fury spell on him to make him attack me. The tavern owner Jonna and Alva the secret vampire did the job for me completing that park of the quest with no bounty. Funny part is that Alva used her vampire powers to kill the orc.
P.S. the fury spell method has worked before. I theorize that the player can complete most of the dark brotherhood story line without needing to kill anyone except the emperor.
"Most places like *RIIFTEEEEEEN* or *WIIINDHEEELM* " XD

Lyra I full on died when he said that
Bethesda slept on Morthal bigtime. So much missed opportunity here. They could have made it so spooky! I would have loved to see a quest featuring Jarl Idgrod and her visions. And perhaps cult happenings in a cave right underneath the town. They could have done SO much with this place.
I'm still so mad and depressed about Skyrim having so much cut out from it, and still wish they'd finish it properly.... they had so many opportunities with all the rereleases...
Lol thats why mods exist

Assuming Morihaus is the namesake of the town, they would've named it for him for a few reasons. 1. The Nords aided the Alessian rebellion and were pseudo-allies to the empire that followed. 2. Morihaus was said to be the demigod son of Kyne, sent from Skyrim to free the Nords' cyrodiilic cousins from elven rule. The Nords themselves are the children of Kyne/the sky. Due to his relationship to Kyne (or vice-versa), he's also associated with the Thu'um, meaning the Nords revere him even more.
Hey Nate! I just wanted to say your content has inspired me to make my own Skyrim videos. Your probably not going to read this but I just wanted to say thank you for all you do!

Nate I found out u can start maridias quest early by going to her shrin and there is special dialogue and if anyone wants to try go ahead
Finally someone else did it
I actually found her shrine before finding her beacon,in my first playthrough
you still have to be like level 14 before it can activate. you can't go there on a fresh character and start it out right
I went there level twenty and was assaulted by the most annoying voice
Gotta be lvl 12 iirc
During a recent play through I went to redwater den and spoke to an imperial deserter and he mentions helgen and the player about to meet the headsman axe.
Thats neat i never bothered talking to any of the random npcs in there, will have to get to that quest soon on my next playthrough

@@gergozona5245 My bad. ;-}
She might be horridly bored in dreary dark Morthal, and is looking for a chemical escape. She's an alchemist, she'd know all the good and bad sides of potions, poisons and drugs.
Good point
Good point. She may have been trying to research a cure for madness for Joric. Even though his sister, Idgrod the Younger, tells us (almost fervently), "Please don't mind Joric. He's not mad...really!"
I don't even play Skyrim. I just love watching your videos. Keep it up man
I do the same thing with some fallout RUclipsrs I don't play the games but love seeing their videos about it
I noticed a tiny detail in Winterhold: when you speak to Enthir as part of the quest Arniel's Endeavor after you've become Archmage, Enthir is quite a bit more polite in his dialogue.
Dude, I don't know how you do that, but I'm impressed with how you still manage to find Skyrim facts that to this very day we didn't know about. Your narration is really good, and it keeps me immersed in the video. Been watching you for quite some time, and this is my first time commenting. Just wanted to thank you, Nate!
Actually idgrod the younger is supposed to be the heir, she herself even says mom constantly says that ill he jarl someday, i just hope i can help morthal like she has
Yes but yeas aligned with her mother, and if a change of jarls were to be made by this betrayal, they would put someone more sided with the empire, that's what he's trying to say (sorry if bad written)
Estarchi isnt morthal aligned wt the empire alrdy?
Yes but she's like the jarl of witherun, she just wants the good of her people and doesn't praise the empire
For why Morthal was named after Morihaus, it was because Morihaus was said to be the son of Kyne. And since Kyne is a major God in the Nordic Pantheon, they understandably named one of their holds after her son.
Ps: If you live in Morthal, you will NOT become imorthal!
I love puns...wish I had thought if this one!
@Tayuoki what's your problem?

I’m not gonna lie I appreciate these videos so much because it makes me want to play Skyrim again. Thanks Nate
Laid to rest is one of my favorite quests
my favorite "City" in skyrim. that quest to go in and kill the vampire in the cave is always fun. I find vampires to be the true challenge in skyrim as opposed to dragons. it also helps that morthal has copious amounts of ingredients necessary to make paralyze/damage over time poisons.
my favorite city is Markarth, just so unique
@@starvinnyd6143 Pretty good but I dont want to sleep on rocks. Nice Dwarven Ruins though.
I just love getting all the poop on the cities and their citizens. Keep it up Nate! :)
Another fun fact, if you have the follower mod Lucien and are in Morthal, he'll say something along the lines of that if you rearrange the letters of Morthal it'll spell Thalmor
These videos about Skyrim bring me so much joy... thanks Nate!
hey man, love ur vids i can't wait for ES6
Please never stop making these videos. These make my day so much better.
I love learning about Skyrim I wish I could expain Actual skills as well as I could explain every Skyrim daerdra
You open an Ancient Burial Tomb of the Nords, you stare into the abyss for a long moment, you take your first step and you hear something move in the darkness, you shout out with your mighty voice "Who goes there" Silence. After a long pause the dreadful monster steps out of the shadows, speaking in a twisted voice: Hey guys, It's Nate here."
nate u keep me sane during quarantine thank ❤
When I gave Aldis the letter, I always got this vibe that the little intent to start a coup with actually a one-sided affair and Aldis was forced to humor his ‘partner’ by coming to Morthal to investigate because of his job
The last time I was this early I didn't have an Arrow In my knee
I still had my sweetrolls.
I still have Rogvir’s body somewhere in my bed

When you are bored in quarantine and Nate's video pops up
My face: :DDD
I swear the next elder scrolls needs an Easter egg about Nate
Thank you for keeping me entertained during this quarantine
Who else low key loves Falkreth? Like just beautiful secluded and has all shops you need and can enjoy.
Anyone else say the opening lines with him, or is it just me?
Wouldn't the vampire assault explain the "something's coming"?
Another sadly truncated story line in Morthal is the mage Falion, his motivation for being in Morthal, why he has secret visits to the marsh at night, how he knows the cure to vampirism etc.
Unrelated but I gave a Reikling follower the BloodSkaal blade to hold onto and it actually shows him carrying it. I was amazed to see that. It's amazing after 8 years of playing this game I'm still finding new things that surprise me
My mother in law is the ancient vampire that lives there
Wait I thought she was a.... OMG 😱 she's a tentacle troll with vampirism?! You need to move to Akavir, quick, it's your only hope!
My first playthrough I tried to steal Alva's clothes for my wife 😬 it's not my proudest moment, but a moment nonetheless
You know how to become Thane, Jarls will ask you to serve their people, and you have to perform quests for residents?
"For the Good of Morthal" mentioned in this video will qualify you for this.
It boosts your friendship with the quest giver, and the Jarl doesn't seem to care even if you have the letter in your inventory.
I feel gypped; nobody got murdered to death...
10 things they never told you about epic nate?
Last time I was this early, I had to choose between Ralof or Hadavar.
Hey Nate! Did you know if you enter a stormcloak camp (before picking a side) dressed head toe in imperial officer armor, you can get special dialogue saying, "you have a lot of nerve coming here dressed like that."
I’ve always liked Morthal. Igrod, ever since the Thalmor Embassy quest, has been my favourite Jarl. She was looking for some fun in such a miserable and over planned party and agrees to help you out. Her distraction is pretty funny too. She just seems very chill and very well written.
Oh and there is someone called Seren, which is my little sisters name. I’ve never heard of any other people named Seren than those two.
Again, thanks for making this video. It’s really nice to have something to watch when at home.
If you use a calm spell on Alva and then inform the jarl about her, she will run from the town to the vampire cave and the guards will start shooting at her, if she makes it she's usually on the side passage after you take out the main vampire.
*I don’t even remember when I started watching your videos but I can tell you it’s been the best way to end my day*
About Morihaus, the Nords made up a large margin of the Cyrodillic forces during Alesia’s rebellion and they rallied behind Morihaus and Pelinal Whitestrake out of a desire to kill elves and a love for battle. They probably honored Morihaus for his battle prowess.
Hey Nate, have you experienced the unique line of dialogue if you fight Alduin with the Bloodskal blade? This would happen during the first encounter at the Throat of the World. I’ve done it twice to see what will trigger it. I’ve found that if you equip it before the battle begins, then use Dragonrend, he will comment on the blade and how the Dragonborn is not equal to his ancient foes, or something like that. It was on my first play through and I didn’t realize it was a unique line until I fought him a second time.
I came across the unique Vampire Alva lines on my own. Such an awesome detail.
What I like about his vids is because he explains his theory/opinion and then he tells extra details then he gives other people's theroys/opinions and then he says why he thinks his theroy is correct then he sums it up and that's why I like his vids ❤️😊
Nate you put so much effort into your videos, and I love them, thanks for this mate
This made my day simply because it's something to listen to while I try to get through my rough week till my days off... *sigh* I'll take two lore-keep.

Its amazing that you are still able to find things in skyrim to cover
I found skyrim late so thwnks for theese vids
Welcome to the party brother, there's no escape from TES
I remember when I first played the game and spoke to Alva upon first visiting the settlement (I try to talk to all NPC's) and she was saying how she knew what I was and to stay away from the blood in the town, I was so baffled and literally sat there like "Whut?" 😂
I would love a video about the dremora! Dremora lord is my favorite to spawn and just sit back and watch him go bezerk on bandits and falmer with full rage!
The origin of the name is Morthal cause Morihaus was with the nords army to help Alessia to fight the elves, in fact Morihaus can use the thu'um, that's why Skyrim have a big link to Cyrodiil empire cause nords give a great help to defeat the ayleids, and the pantheon of Cyrodiil gain some nords god.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the son of the high king who I've forgotten his name helped fight with the rebellion
Btw Nate i genuinely appreciate how few repeat facts theres been lately, as someone whos seen basically all of you 10 stuff videos at least twice ive noticed it a lot more
