  • Skyrim is a game of numerous spooky locations, from dark caves to ominous Nord ruins. However, no place The Elder Scrolls 5 allows us to visit is perhaps quite as unnerving as the "Soul Cairn". A mysterious plain of Oblivion where the souls of those who have been soul trapped are doomed to spend all of eternity. We get an opportunity to explore this place during Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC and may just be Skyrim's most interesting location. So today we'll be taking a look at five things you (probably) never knew about the Soul Cairn of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

      But I'm not too late, however. If I were, Durnehviir would have discovered the recent invention of cotton swabs, yet inevitably would still have found himself in confusion as to how to accompish such a feat. Ask yourself, how hard would it be to clean your ears with such tiny tools and such LARGE FEET? Can't use your hands, you don't have any! It's a rather torturous effort.

  • @ldcraig2006
    @ldcraig2006 4 года назад +65

    Here's my theory about the souls that end up in the Soul Cairn: they're the souls used for recharging weapons and staves. After being soul-trapped, the soul resides in the gem until used. The act of using the soul gem is a form of energy transferrence, from the gem to the item, and once that energy is expended to recharge the item, the "husk" of the soul goes on to the Soul Cairn because it has been corrupted...used, if you will...and cannot be retrieved by Arkay to go on to their afterlife.
    This is why there are so many souls there, and why there is such a variety of "good" and "bad" souls. The "bad" ones would have been bandits, necromancers, evil people in general, and they may be the ones who become mistmen, wraithmen, etc. The "good" people -- the ones who were doing no harm to anyone but who unfortunately became soul-trapped -- may be the ones who have retained the semblance of who they were in life. Serana tells us that the Ideal Masters have an insatiable appetite for souls -- they feed off whatever energy is left. Perhaps in the process of feeding, they also create more of the guardian denizens that inhabit the Soul Cairn.
    Also; the part of the Soul Cairn we are permitted to traverse is hemmed in by a energy barrier we can't penetrate. It's possible that barrier is fed by the souls of monsters and animals who were soul trapped. It's also possible this isn't the only section of the Soul Cairn that exists; it's just the part we are allowed to go through, because it's where Valerica is, and she opened the portal to this area with her own blood.

    • @dakotastricklin2691
      @dakotastricklin2691 4 года назад +11

      The game literally says this for the most part. But it's not from gem to weapon. Its from gem to ideal masters. Who then recharge your weapon in exchange for the soul.

    • @DuskyPredator
      @DuskyPredator 4 года назад +8

      My hypothesy has been that while standard soul gems use the soul as fuel for recharging or creating an enchantment, this is not the case for Black souls. Multiple sources talk about the Ideal Masters making deals with necromancers, and considering the difficult ways to even get a black soul gem, I think there is an inherent part of a deal involved. When you use a black soul, it actually goes to the Soul Cairn for the Ideal Masters, and they send back as much magic as a grand soul. I assume the black soul gems are directly connected to the Cairn.
      Based on the fact we find such souls of trapped people in the Cairn, not turned into sword enchantments, I think the black souls might be far more valuable than a grand soul, but very few know how to use them, or if the Masters are strong enough they obscure it. Daedric princes make deals to get humanoid souls, Ideal Masters can have prospective necromancers collect them. And everything points to the Masters as ripping people off.

    It's probable that those Orsimer and their killed Dragon has a lot to do with Durneviir. Basically, at some point between when Durneviir made his deal and when he was assigned\imprisoned, Ideal Masters tried to uphold their side of the bargain. They have found a Dragon in the process of being slain and kidnapped the whole party to try to capture poor Dragon's Soul. That made them realize that they can't capture Dragon Souls at all. And they quickly found a solution: to assign Durneviir to an undead vampire thus killing 2 birds with one stone. Vampire got a powerful warden while Durneviir request was postponed indefinitely.

    BONEMENS were actually people who are WILLING TO BE SOUL TRAPPED.

    They are Undead that serve the ideal masters:
    "The Boneman's Oath
    We die.
    We pray.
    To live.
    We serve.
    The Master's Voice
    You swore.
    To Serve.
    Your Lord."
    "Would you enter our service, mortal?"
    "Put off your mortal garments, and stand naked in the spirit. Your stained tablet must first be washed white by the fires of mana."
    "Seek the twin Fingers of Life in the Chapel of Love. Stand upon the pedestal and bathe yourself in the manabeams. The corruption of the flesh shall fall away, and the spirit shall be revealed in its glory. Then may you stand before us and serve for eternity in peace and joy."
    "You must die and be born again. The form your spirit may take afterwards varies. You will have seen the servants of our realm."
    "You stand within the precincts of the Soul Cairn, an otherworldly refuge dedicated to peace, love, eternal rest and harmony. You stand before one of its Makers, whose name is so exalted you may not even speak it. You walk among its servants, who have pledged themselves in service to us, and who in reward have been gifted with life eternal and the peace that passes all mortal understanding

    I'd always assumed the soul cairn was once an area of nirn that the ideal masters removed and took to oblivion so they didn't have to worry about stealing land from any daedra.
    The land mass had been a battlefield in the war with the dragons which explains all the dragon and human skeletons, they were just taken there along with the land and possibly all the architecture was already present too.
    The mistmen etc are just the ideal masters taking those bones and making creations out of them, they're all black like they'd been burned in dragon fire

      Luckily animals and other creatures that have white soul gems dont go to soul cairn, their energies are released after depleting the crystal. Thats why black gems are sinister, when you soultrap an sentient creature their souls are directly sent to soul cairn while you keep the energies in the crystal and their souls will never move onwards. only mercy they can have if their souls are oblirated from existence by slaying them in the soul cairn.

    Ok, I know you don't do videos about one singular topic, so I wanna bring something up here.
    How does Azura fit in with the Soul Cairn? We know that her Daedric Artifact, Azura's Star, is essentially a Grand Soul Gem. However, it's the unique properties of the Star that makes me curious.
    1. It's reuseable, something unique to it and would imply that the souls put in there may still have parts of them remaining inside. I say this because a soul usually fills the entire gem with energy, almost like it's a liquid. Could that explain why when we enter the Star there are Dremora protecting the current inhabitant? Maybe they are pieces of souls the Star uses as bodyguards of sorts.
    2. It has it's own space/realm. We know that when the soul is trapped it goes to the Cairn, and the energy it leaves during this transfer is what powers gems. So why is there almost a mini-realm inside the Star? Are souls trapped in here treated differently? Maybe they are allowed to rest by Azura, who we know as one of the few Princes who aren't inherently evil.
    Whatever the answer is, only Azura knows, and she... isn't telling.

    Why is everyone so confused about bones and stuff being in the Soul Cairn? There are many different kinds of physical doorways into oblivion realms, THE PLAYER HAS TO USE ONE! It's not hard to theorize at all.
    Here's an idea; The orc tribe was defending themselves from a random dragon, during the battle the dragon Shouted out a portal to the Soul Cairn likely to escape or bring out reinforcements cuz it was getting it's ass wooped. The orcs either followed or forced the dragon into the portal, there they finished it off but were trapped and eventually died, leaving their souls to continue wandering. Or maybe it was the orc's wise woman and her alchemy that opened a similar portal to Valerica's before they were interrupted by a dragon. Maybe there was a third party of necromancers that just teleported them all away.
    It's fucking fantasy. Use your imagination.
