Please cover the Exosquad
Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!
Also don't forget the cyrus rebellion
We need a deep cover of the redgaurds soon
Hey Wizards and Warriors when's your next video on Star Wars?
While I’ve already binged hundreds of lore videos on each of these franchises, words cannot express my joy at seeing this wonderful channel.
Whale clan: "Thank you for freeing us!"
Uriel Septim: "Oh, I wouldn't say free. More like, under new management."
😂😂😂
Great movie. One of the last animated kids’ films that I thoroughly enjoyed
@@sleepshouter5017 I believe you commented on the wrong vid pal
No, what he said is directly from Megamind. The whale Clan is the mayor and Uriel Septim is Titan
@@sleepshouter5017 Sorry, I also catched the refference but I missinterpreted your comment, my bad
"But were repulsed by the valiant efforts of the 10th legion" A familiar phrase for any K&G viewers
This comment caused a Gaul I didn't even know I had under my bed to start laughing.
The 10th, Caesar's best legion
I already loved kings and generals but this channel is on new level it basically everything I love in one channel epic fantasy and sci fi worlds combine with massive battles and In-depth backstorys of those worlds
They've really brought in fresh content with this fantasy genre
@@maddogbasil yes?
This series is wild man so much going on
Yes dude exactly
Seriously I love this
Yesterday I was at the academy in Winterhold and read all the books about the Wolf queen Potema Septim. Would be awesome if a small series about her could be presented
Check out ShoddyCast's old TES Lore series. They had a lovely video on Potema Septim, well narrated and a wonderfully told. Some of the best TES Lore I have ever heard.
Ooh that's a great shout.
A true scholar

Snakes men are likely human.
"On the other continents, the Wandering Ehlnofey became the Men: the Nords of Atmora, the Redguards of Yokuda, and the Tsaesci of Akavir."
The Annotated Anuad
Either human or slaves to the snakes. My theory is that they're werebeasts, specifically weresbakes
I don't get how this guy spends two decades carefully consolidating islands around Akavir, then goes in blind to the mainland and totally eats shit.
Took his human protagonist plot armor for granted.
Hubris perhaps. Even wise and canny leaders can be blinded by success. He had already seen success after success in the 17 plus years of his invasion plans. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
@@erikvasco53 that's exactly it. As is common with commanders and quite successful campaigns. They develop overconfidence. But Uriel wasn't a complete fool. Experienced alot of bad luck situations and ultimately redeemed himself buying time for as many imperials to get the hell out of there.
Passionate conquerors always make fatal mistakes.(Going to mainland totaly blind, is little much tho)
It’s called bad writing.
The expanded Roscrea lore is looking pretty well fleshed out. Even if not officially canon, it is extremely likely, and adds quite a bit of context to events that are merely a footnote in-game lore. Thank you, Beyond Skyrim team! Can't wait to see the end result! And thanks, Wizards and Warriors! This is actually my favorite imperial military campaign in lore. Never fight a land war in (not)Asia!
avidly agreed, the details on the dragon cult and the imperials being imperialists™️ are great touches
Always wondered what was up with the bears, owls and whales in Ancient Nord ruins. This is a cool explanation that those were the old Atmoran Gods the Nords once worshipped.
@@VoidLantadd uhm, this was always the case? The Totem gods were always representations of the Nordic gods.
The Eagle is Kyne, the Moth is Dibella, the Wolf is Mara, the Owl is Jhunal, the Fox is Shor, the Bear is Tsun, the Whale is Stuhn, the Snake is Orkey, and the Dragon is Alduin
Dragons cannot catch a break. First they were chase out of Akaviri by snakeman vampires to Morrowind. Than they were chase out of Morrowind by cliffracers. Finally were slaughtered in Skyrim by their subjects.
Yeesh, were Clifracers THAT big of pests to cause the remaining dragons to flee to wherever only to eventually get slaughtered or survive?
@@jackakakreanxx5587 Yup. That's how freaking annoying they are.
@@dariustiapula Were at least on vvardenfell since Jiub wiped most of them out
but still, demigods, children of akatosh, able to enslave an entire race of warriros and survivors, yet can't deal with a bunch of flying rats. Yes I know Topal the pilot noticed cliff racers that were MUCH larger than their modern decendents...... Okay I know that the sheer number of cliff racers drove the dragons from morrowind, but still......... these guys were verterans from the Dragon wars and were hardened and were born from a GOD.
@@jackakakreanxx5587
Yeah, but cliff racers race in cliffs! How could the dragons defeat such a speedy and maneuverable foe?
The sound when a battalion’s unit marker is destroyed is just perfect
17:04 I think he meant to say, "So he initiated a 'Hail Stendarr'."
War of the Red Diamond, the Great War, maybe the Three Banners War. Let’s see what else…maybe the war of the Atmorans against the Falmer, the Four Score War, the Alessian Slave Rebellion
The War of The First Council, I want as much Dwemer as I can get.
or maybe when empress Kyntara (If i spelt that correctly) tried to kill the pirate red Braman by invading Black Marsh
@@jackakakreanxx5587 you’re thinking Empress Hestra. I think Kintyra was the empress who was murdered at the start of the War of the Red Diamond
the blackwater war as well
@@kodyw2960 yeah, their are two Empress kintyra. Empress kintyra & Empress kintyra the 2nd
Empress kintyra the 1st was the daughter of Agnorith Septim brother of Tiber septim and became Empress after Pelagius Septim (son of Tiber septim) got assassinated due to the dark brotherhood ending the direct bloodline of Tiber septim and leaving his brother Agnorith's grand children to be the rulers of tamriel
Empress kintyra the 2nd was the one who died at the start of the Red Diamond
Hundreds of years after the first Kintyra
I think it’s important to note that Yokuda still exists as it was shown on the map. It just used to be a lot bigger.
I have secretly wanted a properly animated video about the invasion of akavir for years
Roscrea and Akavir would make a nice single-playerTES game setting.
Your in luck, the lore from this video is from the Beyond Skyrim modding team. The Beyond Skyrim projects have already made massive progress and I'd personally guess Roscrea is probably looking at a mid to late 2023 release date at the latest. Development on most of the projects is very solid, some of em are pushing close to partial release. The Illiac bay team is releasing 'Three Kingdoms' (three different citystates) of the High Rock/Hammerfell region sometime soon. Of course it's all being done by unpaid modding teams, so time tables vary, but these guys are legit badasses with how much they have done since the project started. That and the ambition of the project. By the time their done, all (or most) of Tamriel will be playable in Skyrims engine. You'll be able to walk from Shornhelm to Archon and Firewatch to Torval (with loading screens of course). You should check out their youtube channel, they drop new bits of finished content and updates all the time for the different projects. Almost certainly will get to play most if not all of the Beyond Skyrim mods well before TES 6 ever comes out.
Would Roscrea not be just another Solstheim?
@@iggyzeta9755Yes, but without the Dunmer, and Nord culture being more built up rather than Skaal (of which we still know very little).
@@Lusa_IceheartI got so excited and went to check, it’s still not released 💀 I forgot how long this projects been in the works lmao
I like to headcanon that a man, of all bipedal beings, carrying a banner of free food (dragon) set foot to Akaviri lands. From there on the land of Akavir were at truce from warring with each other, and set their sights to a common goal: to devour the dragon soul of the emperor of "man", racing on who gets to munch on it first. Now, with the strongest and most capable of their warriors, mages, and thieves, an entire continent dedicated to make the invaders suffer with the weather is the least amount of trolling they can do. From lethal snakes, feral tigers, crazy monkeys and hardened demons, Uriel could only dance to the tune of the war he waged.
Thank you for covering Akavir for this lore-cumentary!
Even if ive heard the story prior, Wizards and Warriors does a great job narrating, aong with the graphics, this is my favorite lore-based channel forsure. You got me into Tolkiens Middle Earth universe!!
I love it when elder scrolls actually differentiates legions rather then just the overarching “legion” it makes it feel more like an empire and not just 30 or so dudes role playing fantasy Romans.
I love most of TES lore (as well as Witcher and LoTR lore) but most channels just read off or talk about it and it feels like a lecture, spliced with Skyrim background vistas and gameplay.
The amount of time that goes into each of your videos must be insane. I love the production value and even the Roscrea conflict, which I’m fairly sure is non-canon (related to the specific cults and battles), adds so much to this world that we all enjoy.
Hats off to you guys for these documentaries.
This is such a good video. The only gripe I have is that those islands called "Yokuda" is actually what remained of yokuda after it sank. But apart from that tiny detail the rest of the video is really damn good
A gripe I have with the video is that they included non canon lore about Roscrea, other than that the video was great.
@@blecis74 yeah, agreed
:) ayeee thanks W&W, elder scrolls is my favorite fantasy game/book series.
Akaviri is too strong they already ruled Tamriel for 430 years during "Akaviri Potentate" era.
Cool that you used Beyond Skyrim's map for Roscrea, for the other island and Akavir you could in the future collaborate with tes3 projects Pandomaic Isles and Project Tamriel or the TES3 Carthography Club discord. They share a pretty cool map for these isles and Akavir.
I've been looking forward to this one! It never clicked that Kings and Generals and Wizards and Warriors was run by the same team. Should have suspected, not only because of the name, but because of the second to none quality of those videos.
I hope the next elder scrolls game is set in Akavir
While I'd love that I highly doubt we'll get one any time soon. I hope at least a DLC. A spin-off would be pretty cool to see too.
The “snake men” are actually humans. Snakes were their symbol just like how the ancient Chinese called themselves the dragon people. There was a quest in Oblivion where you meet Akavari spirits\skeletons and they were just humans.
Which is BS. That should be retconned. I want snake people not some weirdos with snakes on them if we see them in a game.
I think in newer lore entries they mostly had human form but had the ability to shapeshift some of their features into a snake-like appearance... they where no Naga like portrayed sometimes...
As stated in the video, there seems to have been both men and snakepeople in akavir
There's also a theory that the Taesci are actually parasites and some of those humans have been taken over by those parasites
That's actually up for debate. some sources say they can shapeshift, some say those "akaviri" spirits were from later on after more interbreeding caused them to be more human. Some say they were hybrid like argonian, some say they were more snake like, basically snakes with arms.
Considering the Snake men who invaded Tamriel worshiped the Emperor once they met him, perhaps the he actually was captured in the battle.
One of the original ideas for Skyrim was that the dragons would actually be coming from Akavir with Uriel V leading their invasion.
I'd love to see more Elder Scrolls lore videos from you.
There aren't any other channels who still regularly make Elder Scrolls lore so you would be the only one people would come to.
Absolutely loved this video! 🐍 Will you eventually cover Orsinium and the Orc Strongholds in the future? 🪓
As a big fan of the Elder Scrolls games, it is awesome that you guys have made videos on ES lore. Hope to see more in the future!
After years of playing TES games I had never known about the Imperial incursions on Roscrea.
Because such an event never occurred in the first place, the Roscrea stuff is from a mod.
@@randomguy4167 I thought Roscrea was touched on briefly in the pocket guide to the empire?
I love the Elder Scrolls. I know realistically Tamriel Rebuilt will probably never be completed but I'm looking forward to it everytime more content is released for that mod. Beyond Skyrim Bruma was really good. I didn't know they were doing more I'll have to look into those mods also.
They’re not literally snake people. In TES4 Oblivion, the Hero goes on a quest to recover an Akaviri amulet called the Draconian Madstone from Pale Pass. There, they come across Akaviri skeletons and even interact with an Akiviri ghost. They’re clearly human. I think they’re just another race of men that didn’t originate on Atmora, like the Redguards.
personally think they're a species of near-humans with snakelike traits, just because that'd be badass
We arent sure if that's what the original creators intended them to be. It really just depends on which writer is writing for their story
We don't know what the Tsaesci are. "Asians", Snake people, Shapeshifters all have points in the lore. We haven't seen their homeland, nor a living breathing one. We've seen ghosts of soldiers and descendants.
My guess is they're BOTH Snakes and Humans...An multicultural empire composed of multiple races. Snakes, Men and Dragons. Just consider this...The Empire on Tamriel is composed of multiple breeds of Humans and Mer alongside Lizard and Cat peoples. If Lizard and Cat people exist...There's no reason that Snake, Tiger and Monkey peoples can't.
Eat = Conquer, Subjugate, Devour on a Cultural level. The multiple accounts contradicting on whether they're Humans or Snakes or Shapeshifters...Is because the different accounts met different types of Tsaesci (think less race more nationality). The Ghosts were Human foot soldiers, The Defenders of the Homeland and "Emperors" of the Potentate were Snakes, Shapeshifters are crossbreeds.
@@khalduras784 The original intention was to be ambiguous and contradictory. One source in TES3:Morrowind says the Tsaesci are humans. Another says they are Snakefolk that ate humans. Later games seem to have gone with the Tsaesci being humans angle as the truth. Or perhaps 'conquered' is correct and the true Snakefolk Tsaesci just stayed in Akaviri while their human soldiers went to Tamriel.
I can't wait for Beyond Skyrim: Roscrea.
Same
They did such a brilliant job with Bruma, I can't wait for their next release.
"Tsaesci horsemen" ? I am not sure if that is correct. I remember reading that Tsaesci did not have horses somewhere. I do admire the cooperation with the Beyond Skyrim team, It really was a good idea and to see the history of Mundus of Elder Scrolls depicted in your videos is very pleasent to view. Thank you fo your time and effort.
'I do admire the cooperation with the Beyond Skyrim team' yeah but I wish wizards and warriors made it more clear that everything about roscrea was complete fan made lore.
Yeah that’s an issue I have, while it’s good and all, they should have just used canon lore and not beyond Skyrim stuff.
Will you add "Warhammer 40k" lore to this channel?
Just asking,since you are the only ones with great animation and drawings that can pull that off W&W.
Any Warhammer 40k fans should check out a fan animaited film "The Last Church",you will enyjoy it.
Everyone has gotta be careful animating anything warhammer
@@jacked4121 yeah i know,the guys that did "The Last Church" got shutdown by GamesWorkshop, but they reuploded it again for fans.
I love the concept art style. Starting to practice it myself :D
Goodluck!
May Talos bless this video. its very informative.
Both this and your other channel are 10/10, very enjoyable and informative.
I like to think of this channel as the new and maybe better version of Shoddycast. The quality of these lore videos is unmatched and feels documentary level.
This channel feels more objective than Shoddycast, some of their race lore videos were pretty biased (the Altmer video is crazy) and made a lot of assumptions without in-universe evidence. Overall a good starting point for newcomers to ES lore I’d say tho
And I just decided to re-watch the previous episodes yesterday...
Wow...
More videos on Elder Scrolls the better...
✅✅✅✅✅
I love that its easy to understand what went down in akavir because of how detailed the info on this. Its underrated.
this channel is all i could ever wish for
Looking forward to more Elder Scrolls animated! Im very interested in how you guys will explain and animate Dragon-Breaks.
Dude, I am hyped for this channel
The quality of your videos guys really deserves respect
Glad to see the animations are improving, that map is badass.
I love you explain the whole video with moving maps. I actually listened to this whole working today but when i see this i closed the video to watch it now😊
One day. I recommend Wizards and Warriors to take a look at Kingdom Under Fire. It’s already a strategy Fantasy Sword and Shield game that have battles that could be revived in classic KnG style.
Incredible video! Loved it! Although I think you should have said that the whole Roscree segment was not entirely cannon before it begun, since some viewers might not watch to the end. Nevertheless, I loved it and i prefer it much more to just mentioning it for a second and moving on, oh, and another thing some pronunciations are a bit off XD, although that's not that much of a problem. Love your work❤️
This unironically feels like what the History channel used to be like.
Loving the Skyrim lore the most! I think a lot of people would love for you to go over DnD related lore as well!
Small lore fact about the roscrean animal cults. In the old atmoran religion, the animals of said cults were representations of the atmoran gods. Shor, chief of the atmoran pantheon and creator of the world, was represented by the fox, stuhn, god of ransom and hostages, was represented by the whale and tsun, the warrior god (and the guy you meet in Skyrim) is represented by the bear.
Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!
What a quality channel. Glad I found this.
It should be said that Yokuda didn't "sink". Most of the land mass is now under water, but it is stated in TES IV Oblivion that the empire still trades with Yokuda, meanimg that there are still inhabited islands.
Do you think you might ever cover the wheel of time series or maybe Raymond feist's Midkemia world?
I’m gonna need more elder scrolls lore videos thanks
All the ASOIAF content is great too btw
This could be a awesome Pre-sequel game to the main elder scroll games which could involve the blades more than ever. Foreshadowing the return of dragons in this game would be unique since we all know of Skyrim storyline but seeing how imperials conquerors ignore the warnings and we get play out historical events.
Hey, I’ve asked before, and persistence is key. Any chance of looking at the extended Conan world?
I don't know how I feel about the fact that a large chunk of the video is just pure fan made lore, good fan made lore but fan made all the same.
Good stuff!
Awesome work
I would've liked Bethesda to have fleshed out the Battle of Rourken-Shalidor...
An immensely powerful (and cranky) wizard single-handedly fighting off an entire clan of technologically-advanced and magical bearded elves walking through his yard.
If that doesn't scream "Metal Album Shirt" I mean there's always the Battle of Red Mountain...
Seeing these videos .... Imagine a Total War :Tamriel edition . Would be something I'd burn my money on for sure
look up elder kings for elder scrolls strategy gaming fun. If you didn't already know it I'd recommend waiting for Elder Kings 2 to release (you can learn how to play Crusader Kings 3 in the meantime) as Elder Kings 1 has a lot of content based on payed DLC mechanics to the point of making it actually fun being quite expensive
@@theultimatefreak666 And yet no one has made an ES-themed Fire Emblem yet.
Oh man, I can hear the opening credit of Oblivion for the next video already.
THIS IS AWESOME one of my favorite pieces of lore !
The video about Alexander The Great's speech was cool enough. Hope this guy can do more TES lore. He has a good narrating voice
The quality of your videos is absurd, in the most positive way. I subscribed immediately, it's a pleasure to see videos like these.
Please do a series on the Legacy of Kain. That’d be so awesome.
Uriel:I’m gonna conquer the world!
AKAVIR weather:I’m gonna ruin this man’s whole career.
Going from the story of the battle of the trident and GoT to this and it's shocking how well Bethesda's writers crafted this story.
Really liked Potema the wolf queen story, it got me actually looking for books and reading them in game
Yes! Was waiting for you to cover the Akavir invasion. Please do keep up the amazing work man 👌🏽
Still a shame that we didn't got one of Bethesda's first ideas for Skyrim... Uriel returning from Akavir in command of a new army trying to reclaim his Empire.
and thanks to ZeniMax Online's ESO we knowns that the Tsaesci are just boring humans.
Some of the Akavir in ESO do offhandedly mention shedding their skin, and it's established that the races of men and some beastfolk can interbreed. So it's possible that they're just descended from both the Tsaesci snake-people and the men of Akavir.
would have been dumb and ruin oblivion
@@sephiroaone-of-nine101 Oblivion's gameplay already ruined Oblivion.
@@sephiroaone-of-nine101 Oblivion's Emperor is Uriel the VII...The Akaviri Invasion's Emperor was Uriel the V. It's not the same guy it's two different Septim Emperors.
Though the question would be how is he still alive two centuries later and why would the Tsaesci spare and follow him. Also that his bloodline no longer matters at all...The Dragonblood that made them the only worthy lords is powerless now as it's no longer needed to light the dragonfires. A new dynasty that has won the peoples respect and love has been in command for over a century.
If Uriel the V came back he's just a would be conqueror a threat to be slain for the good of Tamriel. So yeah it's a good thing they chose something else as he is a better character dying off how he did then bringing him back.
So yeah it'd be dumb but it wouldn't ruin anything about Oblivion.
@@flamesofchaos13 I meant as in Martijn sacrifice that would be ruined. If throw was just a another royal bloodline individual
i can't wait for your videos on the Great War.
Pretty cool to see a collab with a modding project. I hope you have more of these in mind for the future.
You should make a video on the Malazan empire!
Am I the only one who wants this to be the next elder scrolls game?
Roscrea being totem of dragon cult rules has been my head cannon for ages where did we get confirmation of this?
Just got home from work, I am so ready for this to relax, thank you so much 🤙🤙🤙
Potential snake-men in Samurai-like armor? Sounds like a must-have for the next Elder Scrolls game.
So... Warriors Orochi?
Is it possible that you do an episode about economy of empire like you do with Tolkiens Arda? Or episode about east imperial trading company?
Omg this is awesome.
Like when that other channel started doing scp videos.
I’ve always wanted a game set on the Isle of Roscrea. A nice place to see some Alaviri influences without needing to go all out.
Awesome work, it's such a good watch!
You should make videos about the Dune universe by Frank Herbert
When are we going to the awesome 40k series with your iconic quality??
So love this !
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Uriel had the right of it! For what is Life without the Risks taken to achieve Glory! Sometimes you Succeed and sometimes sadly you Fail!!!!
Thank you so much for this Disaster at Ionith is my favorite book in Elder Scrolls.
i love how much this series has to *try* to make the audience root for the septims, thats what i like about tes, really, its portrayal of the empire is very accurate to real world empires. theyre terrible but theyre the winners, so they write all the history, and most folk are too prone to propaganda to speak out against them hence why none of the games overtly focus on "destroying the evil empire" ... despite my best attempts -
Great video. My only gripe is narration mispronunciation.
“Esrionet” instead of “Esroniet”
“Septimia” instead of “Septimaina”
Just peeves (and how the narrator in other series pronounces Dwarves as Dorves and Dwarf as Dorf, like a W somehow doesn’t exist?)
Fantastic episode! Could you please cover the Battle of Autobot City?
Talking about "glory" and "conquests" during an actual war near my home just hits different.
Uriel Spetim: *tries to conquest country with swamps, forest and warrior natives*
Publius Quinctilius Varus: "First time?"
you rocks! Oo . How can you make such videos? all from scratch?
We are legion cuz we are many. Plus things like love for the lore and being supported by nice comments from the community like yours.
Loving the elder scrolls lore videos keep up the good work
The scene from 11:57 to 12:12 is just so epic
