I mean, Dane axes aren't _that_ heavy - it's entirely possible im my experience to wield a longaxe in one hand and a centergrip round shield in the other. Practical? Not really, too hard to strike with the head with such a long haft - but possible. Poleaxes are... difficult, but still possible. Halberds... if you use it like a less nimble spear, then sure. But you won't be top effective cutting one handed with a polearm that long and a shield.

Only 12 she took up her mother's sword, Crying she tossed it at the Elven Lord. His icy heart now pierced with steel, He fell dead with his armys zeal.

That’s also what they’re talking about with the human in Elenwen’s solar. So I’m not sure how you’re getting that his victory is to be avoided at all costs, a fractured empire is much more beneficial for the Thalmor and if they really didn’t want ulfric to win then they wouldn’t have started it in the first place. Yes it would be better for there to be no winner and for the civil war to carry on, but the imperials winning would be worse for them. Ofc they want a fractured empire.

I'm so glad you spoke about ulfric. All of my friends think he's a bumbling idiot when in reality he is a grieving man who has been pushed into the mindset of upholding honored contracts. I feel the only mistake he truly made was killing the high king, and if anything tullius' unwillingness to hear out ulfric despite feeling that the war with the thalmor is about to restart is a much larger folly. This war is a result of the empire refusing to uphold its own contracts in favor of sating the oppression set on by their enemies. To subjugate skyrim instead of negotiating with them is doing nothing except showing that the empire is selling out their own people for a momentary peace.

I would argue that his biggest mistake was the Markarth incident. The Empire was happy to only pay lip-service to the white-gold concordat, and not bother to enforce the ban of Talos worship. But no, Ulfric had to be a massive dick about it, and get the Thalmor to notice that the Empire wasn't enforcing their ban. Honestly, I always side with the empire BECAUSE I support Talos, and despite Ulfric's claims, he has done more to damage the worship of Talos in the empire than any nord in Skyrim. I think that's why people call him a massive idiot, tbh. He blames the empire for a problem that he himself caused.

I will say this, ulfric is a very strong warrior and more or less tries to be honorable. That being said he repeatedly makes mistakes and gets manipulated by others into doing the exact opposite of what his goals are. On top of that he has a bit of an ego that has led him to make it so only he could be the leader skyrim needs right now which is something that many who believe in the same cause as him see and simply cant follow because he goes about things wrong. He is one of the best nerds in skyrim at the time of the game but in history his being in this list is..... honestly just strange, even if you take everything he has done as positive he still doesnt fit in with the legends the nords hold, maybe an honorable mention but that's about it

Or the obvious choice, an Ex-Emperor that lost everything, and has become unable to don the mantle of Emperor ever again, along with being unfit for combat as well, doomed to live a hollow and quiet life, who is practically begging you to pick him as the sacrefice as the other 3 can actually mean something for the future of Tamriel.

I never did buy that. How did 500 warriors of men, albeit skilled, wipe out a race of ELVES??? Masters of the land, bow, spear, and blade, even magic? I just think there is more to the night of tears than is being told. I think the betrayer in this case, was YSGRAMOR! Killing his own people for whatever reason, blaming it on the elves and then using it as an excuse to conquer the northland. I just don’t think the elves were so tactically inept as to massacre a settlement and not expect retaliation. Even if they were careful, there is just no way. Now if ysgramor killed his own people and then wrote the history to say it was all the elves fault, that’s the only story we’d have and thus the only story we’d believe making ysgramor the champion of man. It goes even deeper than that too because if ysgramor was an avatar of shor aka lorkhan aka the divine BETRAYER, OF COURSE HED DO THIS!!!

Great video. However you got a few facts about Lyris wrong. She wasn't necessarily sacrificed, and if she was she didn't go to coldharbour she went to what was most likely Sovngarde. V- How are you alive? I watched you sacrifice yourself to empower the Amulet of Kings! "Oh. That. Right. I'm not really sure. I remember white light as the Amulet of Kings took me, and then …. I woke up. I wasn't in Tamriel. I was somewhere else. Somewhere cold. I was home." V- Home? "It felt like home. There was a great longhouse in the fog. It was warm inside, full of people like me. Warriors. I don't know how long I was there, but eventually I woke up one day and I really was home. In Skyrim." V- I don't understand. "Neither do I. Was I in Sovngarde? Maybe. But then I was back here, in Tamriel. I guess there are still a few things that me and my axe need to do. In general, though, I try not to think about it." Also she wasn't involved in the rebuilding of the Abbey of the blades, that was Sai. V- What have you been up to since we defeated Molag Bal? "We defeated Molag Bal and stopped the Planemeld, but the empire I knew was dead and gone. There wasn't anything else I could do for Varen or Cyrodiil, but Skyrim was still there. So, I went home." V- What have you been doing in Skyrim? "Whatever I can. Traveling. Dealing with problems as I encounter them. My axe has been busy, that's for sure! Mostly, I've been helping Jorunn the Skald-King. Looking into bad situations. Like this one with the Icereach Coven."

The Reachmen are Daedra worshipping cults would never survive as a petty kingdom bordering both Skyrim and High Rock. The Snow Elves got what they asked for when they committed genocide on the Atmoran settlers Skyrim deserves an Empire that is deserving of her. Titus Mede's shambled mess, with its chosen-from-above local representatives and Thalmor puppetry is not an Empire worth preserving. The Empire Skyrim was part of was the one they helped build, not one infiltrated by supremacist elves with a knife to their back. There's no longer time for soft voiced puppets selling their people for gold. It's time for the old ways, where Kings and Jarls are chosen by strength and divine blessings.

@@Priceluked I agree. Alot of the lore doesnt line up with what was already established at all. I personally dont consider it canon, and I never will unless ES6 actually builds upon it and establishes it as so. Because in the previous games weve read nothing about the Planemeld in books, it's not been mentioned, nothing. You think something that significant would just go unsaid? No. Shitmax just created it and pissed on what was already established. The best example goes along with this vid actually, look at Jorrvaskr. The very ship Ysgramor and his 500 companions sailed from Atmora on, and carried it to where they found the Skyforge. They then turned the ship into their Hall, and there it stands to this day. In ESO? Jorrvaskr is a bloody fucking fort, in the mountains. Really? No. No thank you. I'll stick with what Bethesda has already established thanks, ESO can go screw itself.

I've got a theory that may be unrelated to this video. Akotosh looked into the future and saw the dragonborn stopping alduin from eating the world to start a new world. So he made the world just go south from obivion. Magic falling out if favor. Possibly making Mercer Frey take the key to make the thieves guild loose its luck. Make Astrid the leader. But the dragonborn fixes them. They are defying akatosh. Another theory I had is Martin mantled the role of akatosh. Just a thought. But its a interesting onem
