Did you ever hear the tragedy of The Sinistral Elves? I thought not. It’s not a story the Redguards would tell you. It’s a Yokudan legend. The Sinistral Elves were a race from the previous Kalpa, so powerful and so wise they could use the sands of their continent itself to create great artifacts… They had such a knowledge of their magic that they could even survive the end of time itself. The Sinistral elven magics were a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. They became so powerful… the only thing they were afraid of was losing their great empire, which eventually, of course, they did. Unfortunately, they taught the Yokudans everything they knew, then the Yokudans killed them in a sudden bloody war, and of course, the Yokudans went on to become the Redguards of Tamriel. Ironic. They could save others from the destruction of Yokuda, but not themselves.

So did the dwemer move into the next Kalpa, or did they travel to aetherius? In the college of winterhold quest when Arniel Gane mimics what the dwemer did with the heart of Lorkhan by using a warped soul gem, he turns into a shade. I guess this implies that he's probably stuck in aetherius as he looks kind of similar to some of the followers conjured from oblivion like the familiar wolf, but it's always possible that he was stuck between kalpas or something

I was thinking about the Dwemer moving Kalpa Cycles, but the Sinistral Evles and Yokudans, left their Kalpa Cycle as it died and moved into the rebirth. Given our Kalpa Cycle didn't end when the Dwemer vanished makes me think they couldn't have moved Kalpa cycles because ours still exists, therefor there was nothing to move to. Unless they actually time traveled and are now in the future. But there is no evidence of that being possible.

Skyrim has already broken the Kalpa cycle though, with the defeat of Alduin. The Dragonborn literally stopped the end of time by destroying the aspect of the end of time. It makes me wonder if there isn't some huge conspiracy in the Elder Scrolls that's working to stop the endless cycle of death and rebirth. Maybe something both the Yokudans and Dwemer either knew about or were even in on.

Actually it's quite possible that the Lefthanders were not Elves at all, they were only referred to as such in Varieties of Faith and were simply known by some form of left handedness. You see, the Yokudans had a very strong swordsmanship culture and had records of every single possible sword technique, except for the Pankratosword. Pankratosword was created by the Sinistral and thus were immediately exiled for creating such a destructive weapon. This in turn caused an incredible amount of racism between the Raga and the Sinstral, after the cataclysm of Yokuda the Raga began interacting with Tamrielic humans, they recognized "elf" as a word roughly equivalent to "enemy" and so used the term to describe their defeated oppressors from the Homeland.

Ok, Complete conjecture here, but what if The Yokudans actually LOST their war with The Left Handed Elves and were forces to flee the islands or face extinction? They then made up The Tragedy of The Sword Singers and how their islands sunk as a consequence. The Left Handed Elves, now masters of their homeland, may be xenophobic like many other elves and use their own brand of magics to either wipe the minds of any who arrive on the issland or end their expositions via storms or other accedents. Thus Yokuda and The Sinestral Mer didnt GO anywhere. They're still there and make certain that neither the decendents of Man nor Mer know of their existance less they bring war to Yokuda once more.

Two corrections I'd like to make. "Sinistral" is actually an English word that means of or on the left side or the left hand. And given they weren't decedents of the Aldmer, they would not have been known as Mer, only as Elves. "Mer" means "folk" in Aldmeri, it was added to other words to distinguish the different Elven races from one another. Example; Altmer = Alt-Mer = High Folk. Given the Sinistral Elves did not descend from the Aldmer, they would have never received an Aldmeri distinction, therefore they would have never had "mer" added to their name.

It also could be that the "sinking" was more like a huge flood, submerging half of the continent in a visual sense where it feels like the sea level just rose up, with many villages and towns being centered on rivers for agricultural purposes, it would still be devastating to have to rebuild higher up the mountains, the land would be different so growing food would be hard, there's less woodland for resources, and a huge drop in the animal population. Its quite likely that at least some of those elves are still alive, and have at least partially rebuilt yokuda, and just decided they dont wanna travel, or dont have to resources yet to travel to tamriel.

Regarding the left handed elves being conncted to Lorkhan and the redguard hating Lorkhan, it's possible that the last Kalpa Lorkhan favored the elves, while Auriel favored humans. It would also explain why the left handed elves seemed to be the dominant race who had the big empire, as opposed to humans like with the tamrielic empire. The roles are reversed. Maybe when this Kalpa ends, one race of elves (say, the altmer) and the imperials will sidestep, and they will wage war and the altmer will wipe out the imperials during the next kalpa, and then not want to talk about the imperials anymore for their actions (mainly Tiber Septim's conquest of Summerset) darkens their days. They will destroy their continent of Aldmeris and proceed to invade the new continent of this new Kalpa, killing all humans they find on their way, as a Lorkhan-favored race of elves destroys their human overlords and takes their place as the head of the empire.
@poesalesman2132
6 жыл бұрын
Well, the reason Lorkhan favors Men over Mer is not because of some innate trait, they're both just degenerated Et'Ada/Ehlnofey, it's because Men for the most part accepted Mundus and Lorkhan's goals for it as an Arena for the spirits to better themselves and achieve the Walking Ways and eventually Amaranth. Meanwhile, Mer originally all rejected it and looked for a way to become Et'Ada again. This is what split the Ehlnofey, basically, into the wandering Ehlnofey that became Men after leaving Tamriel (they came back later, clearly) and the stationary ones who built up Tamriel and became Mer. Of course, most have forgotten that these days, and many Mer even accept or defend Mundus these days, such as the Khajiit (they did so very early on at the urging of Azura though. Also to add, yes Khajiit are Mer, they were originally Mer of unfixed shape and the same species as the Bosmer, until the race split when some signed up with the Aedra Y'ffre to attain fixed shape and the others were helped by Azura to be bound to the moons and achieve many different fixed shapes) and the Dunmer (their so-called Three Good Daedra, including Azura again, taught them some of the purpose of Lorkhan and they accepted his goal and view of the world as an Arena, basing their approach to life around it.) It's pretty much just the Altmer trying to undo reality at this point. Interestingly enough, in the present Kalpa, it's actually implied that one of the reasons why the Nords could never conquer Morrowind or exterminate the Dunmer is because of the intervention of Lorkhan, who does not want to see either of these two races who follow his will to die out, Man or Mer.

I highly doubt Any of them Survived because Either they we're wiped out by The Yokudan's or If they Survived they probably Left Yokuda or more than Likely they Just died Along With Yokuda

The end of time, of an age, is coming in the form of Alduin, yet humanity rejected it and threw him into the future, forestalling the inevitable. We as Dragonborn then killed Alduin, halting the end of times yet again. That sounds terribly like the linking of the First Flame. I never noticed that before.

thing is, not everything is the same in every kalpa. for example in the current kalpa Alduin decided 'screw it' and enslaved humanity to worship him and the dragons- his job is destruction of all things, but that's it. then when he comes back in Skyrim, he attempts to destroy everything earlier or at least that's what i think, seeing as how Akatosh was gracious enough to put a dragonborn on Nirn to stop him. i mean, why else would he? only Akatosh has the power to make a dragonborn. so in a sense, each kapla is and is-not the same. there are similarities, sure, even mirror kalpas, but also distinct differences.

I really loved this video and all your ES lore videos I dunno if this is a stupid theory or has already been suggested because there’s a lot more smarter ES nerds than me but the Left-handed Elves could possibly be the Dwemer. The incident in Vvardenfell could have sent them back in time to the last timeline, where they spent god knows how long trying to get back to their own time. If the ancient Yokuda hated Lorkan because of them it could actually be because it was his heart that sent them into the ancient Yokuda’s world/timeline. The Dwemer could actually have caused the destruction of the last timeline in order to “walk sideways” back into their own time and the Yokuda followed them and caused them to hate them. The Left-handed Elves were incredibly skilled with magic and making cities, in your video their city was larger than the Septim empire, this is all skills the Dwemer had in Tamriel before vanishing. They were already on steam powered technology at the time the rest of the races were still coming out of the dark ages/tribal ages, if they hadn’t of vanished, by the time of Morrowind they could have been at modern technology or better especially mixed with magic, so if they wound up in another world they would be more than capable and smart enough to start again and evolve. Although the colouring is different to the Dwemer, they could have been in this other timeline for millions of years and given both them and the Yokuda/Redguards have a culture based around the desert it’s safe to say they came from a desert climate in the past timeline and over the millennia could have evolved to suit the climate and darkening their skin tone. Also, although it’s not the same, them having this talent at burrowing under the sand could be linked to the Dwemer building their cities underground and living below ground in Tamriel, just a further skill they could have improved upon to survive in a desert climate heat and weather. This could also be why the last Dwemer with Corpus from Morrowind couldn’t find the Dwemer even tho he searched for thousands of years in different realms because they weren’t in his time anymore. I don’t believe they died at Vvardenfell and given the nature of Elder Scrolls games anything is absolutely possible, if 2 races can travel to the new world after their own is destroyed its completely possible for another to be sent back, especially with the help of a gods heart

Ive heard in the lore community that Nords also escaped from a previous Kalpa using high hrothgar. Also that nords were originally nords, then became atmorans, then returned to Skyrim and became nords again. Also ancient nords and giants were once practically indistinguishable, and share a common ancestor. Maybe a video on either or both of those? Also maybe Amaranth, the dreamsleeve, or that the ocean is actually memories? Could that be why you can see yokuda across the sea?
@poesalesman2132
6 жыл бұрын
The Nords essentially believe that Kyne always breaths them into being on Snow-Throat at the start of every world. We know this can't be entirely true since Nords actually come from the splitting of the Ehlnofey (think lesser spirits who became mortal during the creation of the world, and are the ancestors of most mortal races) and so they not always Nords, but it's entirely possible that something such as Kyne always turning some Ehlnofey into Nords at Snow-Throat could happen every Kalpa. So the Nords don't by anything they believe or is told us jump Kalpas, or at least they don't anymore if they ever had the knowledge, but it could be that Nords always come into existence in every Kalpa because of Kyne. It's theorized that Giants are essentially another split from the wandering Ehlnofey (basically the kind of Ehlnofey that became the ancestors of Men) who have somehow degenerated to their present state. Nords and Giants would thus be related through that ancestry. Amaranth is the achievement of the final apotheosis. Not to achieve power by emulating metaphysical constructs or even realizing you are in a dream like with the Walking Ways, but actually achieving the status of Godhead yourself, independent from the current one, and dreaming your own world. The Dreamsleeve is the temporary home of souls where some dwell in afterlives while they wait to reincarnate; when that happens we don't know. Their memories are stripped there at reincarnation, so they do make up the Dreamsleeve somewhat.

Plot; Turns out that the Left-handed Elves actually drove out the Ra Gata, and the red guard have lied about their origin to hide their culture's shame. Now, almost 5000 years later, the left-handed elves have amassed armies of mer and strange stone machines to invade mainland Tamriel and wipe out the descendents of their ancient enemy, the Red Guard, and all other races of men, mer, and beast folk who would oppose their rule.

Hey there camelworks I just had a query, when Alduin destroys the world/ends that cycle of time, is there anyway to escape it when it's already happening? As in, what is the nature of the destruction, is a new world shape formed? As in Tamriel is gone and a new world starts? Could be something you do a video on if there's enough to say about it I guess. Just wondering if the dwarves were on to something by being underground, or maybe they were trying to attach themselves to the heart of Lorkhan as a means of escaping the end of time as its said that the heart cannot be destroyed, rather than accidentally destroying the race? I'm not sure.

It would have been nice to have been able to meet one of these Sinistral Elves and learn a bit about the previous Kalpa. But their existence also leaves an interesting possibility. If the current Kalpa of TES ends in a future game, it is possible that one or more of the races of Tamriel could survive and travel to the next Kalpa. We could possibly even get a Fallout 4 type of situation, creating a character from the familiar ten races, witnessing Alduin's return and the end of the world, but somehow surviving it. Later, the player wakes up in a foreign world, inhabited by races we haven't seen before.

Given that TES6 is almost certainly going to be set in Hammerfell, it doesn't seem entirely out of the question that the plot may be that the left handed elves reveal themselves and attack. Presuming they don't just single out the Redguards, geographically they'd also be likely to strike High Rock as well, so this (purely hypothetical) scenario would certainly lend merit to the idea that TES6 may be set in both Hammerfell AND High Rock. The fact that the announcement video was set in the coastline between the two may also be a subtle hint towards this. Even if this is not the plot of TES6, the rediscovery of the left handed elves would still make for great DLC, or perhaps a mages guild questline. We'll have to wait and see.

I doubt that's Yokuda you can see in the distance. Even in near perfect conditions a person can only see a few miles at best. According to the same map you use in the video, Yokuda is roughly 500 miles from High Rock. So the only explanations are A) You can see 100x farther in Tamriel than in real life B) Yokuda has an elevation of a couple hundred miles or C) it's some random island not listed on the map that's just beyond the horizon.

Don't get map distances and in game distances mixed up. On the same map, Skyrim is about 400 miles across, yet in game we can walk across Skyrim in about 15 minutes. And we know your character isn't walking at 1,600 miles per hour. So with in game scaling, that is 100% Yokuda.

I've gotten an idea while watching this. Is there a possibilty that the dwemer used their tonal stuff to do as the Yokudans did? Evading time and space until the beginning of the next kelpa, but not for survival, but to rule and dominate it? That might also explain why they enslaved and disfigured the Falmer which are possibly linked to Auriel, the embodiment of the beginning of time. When an Elder Scroll was used to send Alduin forth in time nobody was able to determine when Alduin would reappear in the timeline - so the Dwemer needed something from the Falmer to learn how to "aim" for the "tune" of Auriel, since everything is about the tonal stuff for Dwemer. Maybe we shouldn't ask where the Dwemer went, but when? What do you think?
