A glittering, stony, stronghold in the Reach, Markarth has proudly stood as the hold's capital for centuries. However, like the rest of Skyrim, Markarth is harboring its own hidden secrets and mysteries. So today we'll be exploring some of the greatest as we dive right into five things you (probably) didn't know about the city of Markarth in The Elder Scrolls 5.

      to be fair, the guard says "welcome to Markarth, safest city in the reach."
      And technically, given that Markarth is the ONLY city in the reach, he's not lying.

    First time I've ever been to Markarth (during my first playthrough) was waking up at the Temple of Dibella after losing a night of drinking against Sanguine. I walked out, wondered where the hell I am, then accidentally walked over a cliff and died after falling into the canal.

    I think the most fascinating for me was the Falmer-Dwemer "rosetta stone" in Calcelmo's quarters. I've always wondered what it said. I think the Dwarves blinded the Snow Elves so that they couldn't see the Dwemer's most secret creations. Also, if you are blinded, you are much more vulnerable and easy to manipulate. And the "tonal magic" the Dwemer used *is* mentioned by Katria during the "Lost to the Ages" quest. She describes the resonators at the top of Arkngthamz as "tonal locks".

I think, now hear me out, if he had the full set of the Kagrenac's tools as well as used tonal magic, he might have succeeded and been sent to where the dwarves are.

    On the stone tablet. Maybe the Falmer weren't "tricked" into being blind after all (as the old story says they were). Maybe the dwarves weren't originally cruel masters.
    So why were the Falmer blinded? Well in real life, when people go blind their hearing drastically increases, and one of the main things people comment on is that music sounds a lot better. And what are the dwarves known for? Tonal magic, musical magic. The Dwemer wanted to teach the snow elves about tonal magic so they could work better! And perhaps disappear along with the Dwemer, although unfortunately they weren't attuned enough by the time the disappearing ritual took place, and so were left to rot and become the Falmer we know today

    One thing that I found interesting in that paragraph is that the Dwemer say they sent their machines against the enemies of the Falmer/Betrayed/Snow Elves. Which means that they might have gotten in a little, secret war with the nords for some time or just a few minor battles. And this also means that by that time their war machinery was as advanced as we can see in the Dwemer Ruins nowdays.

    Hey Nate, I wanted mention a theory I have about Markarth: That it was specifically built to house the Falmer refugees as they fled the Atmorans. Specifically how much of a defensive structure it is. That it seems very sun focused, the city seems almost like the dwemer attempt at making a temple to Auriel>
    1. The city faces the morning sun, as does the entrance and balcony of the Keep. So if you are exiting the Underkeep, or ascending it to reach the Dwemer-Falmer welcoming stone) you will see the morning sun)
    2. The tower near the front of the city having a sort of solar focusing lense on its roof that shines a beam of sunlight upon an alter at its enterance which I suspect once stood a statue of Auriel. Its not a piece of dwemer machinery like we normally see, as that building has no machinery in it.
    3. The building that is now the temple of dibella having an already temple-like design at its core (as in the dwemer originally built it that way, instead of it being later modified) such as that water basin in the entrance hall (which reminds me of that who water ritual the Falmer have)
    4. How practically all the buildings around this central temple seems to be housing, not workshops or laboratories. And there is very very little to no dwemer machinery in these areas.
    5. Most obviously, the afformentioned stone at the top of the city explicitly made to welcome to the Falmer as wards of the Dwemer. Indicating that Markarth is where they began their new lives.

    To lhis last part of the dwemer tablet. It almost sounds like "the vision fading" (the falmer going blind) is supposed to be a good thing. The talk about "radiance of our affection" and "final path to your new eternity", everything sounds so positive...
    People assume, that the dwemer blinded the falmer to enslave them. One hint for this being how the falmer evolved back to such a crude state.
    Though what if the dwemer planned for the complete opposite? They probably saw themselves as kind of "higher beings", rivaling the gods with their technology and tonal manipulation. Maybe they wanted to elevate the falmer to their level. Maybe they blinded them so they are more perceptive to sounds. Heck, maybe the dwemer themselves ate the "fruit of the stones" before (do we know, wether the dwemer were blind or not?).
    But while the falmer were still in the process of learning and evolving to a higher state (which obviously would be dependent on the dwemer), their teachers disappeared. Now with this lack of guidance they were forced to survive on their own, which led to their evolution do a 180 back to the stone age.

    The Dwemer needed slave labour because the automatons needed soul gems to work and it would be too expensive to make many robotic workers. The degenerated Falmer offered an stable source of soul gems for the automatons and cheap slave labour that is too primal, weak and beast like to fight back

    • @samsonguy10k
      @samsonguy10k 4 года назад +26

      Except soul gems as the power source was not conclusive, as Calcelmo pointed out in his texts, especially the ones you find in Alftand.
      From the way that stone read, it almost sounded like the Dwemer intended to actually guide the Falmer to becoming like them, as Nate made a guess at. But that didn't get too far before the Dwemer up and disappeared, leaving the Falmer behind to fare for themselves, and not getting along with the automatons. If the Falmer were supposed to be slave labor, you'd think the automatons would be geared to forcing the Falmer into labor, not outright attacking and killing them. Especially in Nchuand-Zel, which seems to be the place where the Falmer indoctrination began, and where once you turn the machinery back on, it all immediately goes into a rampage to exterminate the Falmer there.

    I go in a house with him and a cheap horror movie plays out as molag bal haunts it and the vigilant turns on me in no time (very vigilant)
    I leave cuz why would I finish that quest anayway?

      I thought the Dremora butler thing was a mod? It would explain why NPCs don’t react. I could be wrong, but I had a mod where you visit a Dremora tower & after you visit it, you get access to a conjured Dremora companion of your choice. Vanilla NPCs can’t easily be made to react to the modded character because the regular characters have their own scripts and voice lines & messing with them during a quest like Cidhna Mine could break the quest.

      @@loraelstad8941 it's similar. it's an optional ability you can get during the dragonborn dlc.

      phantomhurricane666 Thanks for the reply! I really couldn’t remember bcuz, even on XB1, I modded the heck out of Skyrim for a few years now. 😁 I always find it a shame when we think of a cool opportunity for interaction in the story, only to have all NPCs completely ignore it, when it’s part of the game. NPC AI is hopefully getting smarter & more reactive in future games. That said, I always enjoy exploiting game mechanics to my advantage. 😁

    2:17. I’m impressed with that floating log. Intriguing.
