The Great War of Tamriel - Why Mer Deserve The Worst

It's no secret that I love elves more than any other fantasy race, they really are perfect and I will defend them in almost any form, whether as a faction like Asura the Eldar or their individuals like keys and Eldred. I will defend almost any elf. race somehow, even the ones who are evil are generally harmful, what else they are psychotic, but they are amazing, the Dark Elder might be the only person in existence who tries to expel evil from the forces of hell, but that gives them a certain charm as affection and at least everyone loves a good villain, but for something that will become a recurring theme of this video, I said that I will simply defend and defend almost any elf The Lord of the Rings Warhammer the various dungeons and dragon systems .

I love those elves quite a bit. a little bit, but as for the topic of today's video, I won't defend these elves. I would never defend these elves in a million years. In fact, let me sum up my opinion towards them with a question, if I'm not supposed to brutally slaughter each and every Altmer. Then I realize why this ax is especially deadly to elves, so with that in mind, let's learn about the Great War, not the one that tears apart the one that uses magic and murder of elves, to explain how this farce came about, we have to watch the fourth game. from the Elder Scrolls Oblivion series, the Oblivion crisis where Maroon's Dagon decided to invade reality was as good a way to spend a couple of weeks as any.

Not only did it affect the cyrodiil, it's where the

worst

things happened, but it wasn't the only place in all of Tamriel. the jaws of oblivion opened wide to swallow the world, some places held out better than others, as I'm sure you know because it circulated around the internet quite some time ago, the Argonians not only repelled the invasion but forced the danger to close their portals because they started counterinvading, let that be a lesson to any Dunmer trying to get started because they still think they're in Morrowind, but in other places, like the Somerset Isles, where the High Elves of the Elder Scrolls mainly reside, it was different. history, danger had ended up invading most of the island and only the Crystal Tower remains standing.

Ryandor's dominant fury and his fellow wizards and archers killed so many Daedra that those who followed them literally climbed the defense walls over the corpses of their companions. This was not enough, however, and the Crystal Tower was torn apart by Daedric war machines just as things were about to end in total Altmer death. However, the daedric disappeared in an instant. We know that this was due to the efforts of the hero of Kavach and Martin's sacrifice of the septum to defeat Dagon of Maroon and then his assault on Amriel, but the High Elves knew no such thing, they only knew that they were about to obtain their own version of Fall of the Eldar and then suddenly all the demons just stood up and left a quote from Lathaniel from Sun Hold even says that they were desperate to find out who did this so they could thank them because whoever shut down this invasion saved the entirety of the Somerset Isles and then entered the Thalmor or, as you may prefer to know them, as the Nazi high elves, the Thalmor, had actually existed for a decent amount of time before this as a fringe group of radicalists.

They once tried to unify the Somerset Islands earlier in history as well, of course, Tiber Septum and his magical imperator Titan. I have Bauer for more Hammer. They put an end to that attempt and even after that happened, they never got any momentum behind their unification attempts, but it did give them quite a bit of a grudge against Talos and his Empire, which is something that, as you can probably guess, becomes quite important in the future. almost all the high elves that weren't them either dismissed them completely and that was followed by them laughing at these idiots for the stupid opinions they had, but in this moment of weakness where the elves were left clutching at their straws about how the hell If any of this happened, the Thalmor crept in, began spreading news about the end of the Oblivion crisis.

The only thing they were doing were the sacrifices of the Thalmor that allowed the elves to live another day and that perhaps it was time for all the altmer to recognize the Thalmor were the ones who should be in charge, many people were still skeptical of their claims and openly dismissed them as fools, but at this critical moment, Justin was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they might soon gain complete victory. Dissenters from power were silenced by exile or assassination and very soon pogroms began on the islands of all those of non-altimer blood, even that Ryan or the knight the high elf who alone almost certainly did more than each movie combined to fight the Daedra was killed for calling them, they finally got their wish, you know, the halls of Somerset under the banner of the third Aldmary Dominion in the 29th year of the fourth era, of course, it didn't stop there with a coup d'état.

Val Wood and all. The wood elves who call it home were taken under the wing of the thalmor elsewhere, the land of the khajid also became a protectorate of theirs, while the thalmer continued to eliminate any High Elves who spoke against them until that the only ones left believed in his madness wholeheartedly or were too afraid of what would happen to them and their loved ones if they spoke, the Empire of Cyrodiil meanwhile was in bad shape, putting out a house fire doesn't magically fix it. the damage done after the entire Septin dynasty was dead. and their lands were devastated by the Oblivion crisis and the Thalmor had been devouring the aforementioned lands of Elsewhere in Valenwood while the empire was distracted trying to catch its breath.

Black Marsh had become completely independent since the crisis, as the Argonians decided they quite liked him. be alone, Marwin was in trouble since the tribunal disappeared or was never read and Hammerfell had a bit of an infighting problem, only the provinces of High Rock Skyrim and cyrodiil had any semblance of order and remain in Note that when I say that High Rock Skyrim and cyrodiil were ordered, they were ordered within the context of a continent-wide demonic invasion that has occurred relatively recently, that's not the kind of thing you just recover from. I mean, I guess you know the Argonians did bounce.

They came back from this, but they have the magic trees that give them divine powers when they need them. Emperor Titus Mead II had come to power in the year 168 of the fourth era and had only three years to control his new position before things changed. As far south as they could before another Daedric Invasion, the Thalmor in the year 171 sent a delegation with a covered wagon from the Imperial City with a rather considerable list of demands, the most important of which were the following: Give us a lot of money as tribute. . to our oh so wonderful Empire Sow large portions of hammered felt in the newly formed Dominion to encompass those damned swords that keep interfering with our work and perhaps most important of all, the outlaw worship of that upstart Talos who gave us our butts on a silver platter, otherwise, it was Wartime Titus Mead found himself at a crossroads very early in his career.

On the one hand, he could surrender to the Thalmor in their demands. His generals and advisors warned him that the empire's legions were not in a position to wage war at that time. What about Tamriel still reeling from the Oblivion Crisis and the most recent Umbrella Crisis because in the oldest scrolls supernatural catastrophes occur every five minutes? On the other hand, he could resist the challenge even though it could cost him not only his life but his entire life. Empire and everyone in it in no uncertain terms, Titus Mead told the thalamore to be maybe a little more professional than that, but the message was there.

The thalmer then overturned the box from him and revealed that the gift they had was the head of each Blades agent. that he had been assigned to the Somerset Islands in Valenwood and the war was on and it was appropriate enough for a group that is very explicitly modeled after the Nazis. The early stages of the Great War were similar to the early stages of World War II within days of the war breaking out. the thalmart attacked in all the provinces of the Empire, they had established hidden camps near the border of valenwood and cyrodiil because, while the Thalmor stab the disgusting Weasley bugs in the back, they are also intelligent, the Thalmor General, Lord Narifin, whom You must remember because he gets what he

deserve

s.

The attacks later allowed Cyrodiil's southern border to be crossed, the city of Leon was quickly captured while Bravo was besieged by small groups of Thalmor. They were attacking all of Acro across the land, meanwhile a separate army led by a lady Aranelia who to give the thalmar any amount of credit is perhaps the most elfin name I have ever heard to cross straight through the cyrodiil east towards Hammerfell while the legions had a presence in Hammerfels covering all the provinces of the Empire, the thalmar vastly outnumbered them and so they were forced to retreat. through the alakir desert on what is known as the march of thirst and you know i couldn't find much information on that but let's use some context clues and assume it sucked for everyone involved who didn't have knives instead of ears The Empire was going terribly wrong, to say the least, and just a year into the war, the Empire looked at the Thalmor as if it were on the verge of total collapse, of course, as I said at the beginning of the video, take note of how I phrased that. .

Once again it seemed like he was about to die, he wasn't there yet, although things looked terrible, things in the war were moving at lightning speed, so let me do a quick overview of the situation. Southern Hammerfell had only one city. Agatha was left, it's spelled like that, but I didn't know how to pronounce the word tithe until half of you yelled at me for saying it wrong, so my apologies if I'm butchering the name of the city, this was exactly what a thalmar wanted all along southern coast of the region, so they were content and hastened to consolidate their holdings and leave them mostly that way, furthermore, by the year 172, the second year of the war, the thalmar had continued advancing towards cyrodiil and invading every his heart again.

Bravo and Anvil had fallen into the hands of the elves and by the end of the year Nari Finn had reached the gates of the Imperial City. I'm sure he said something stupid and poetic like the elves had come to retake their Lost Empire or something. so because pelanol whitestrake did one thing wrong and that was failing to finish the job at this point, the pace of the war began to slow the thalmar down while they had made enormous progress in isolating the Imperial City from almost all sources of supply. Maintain your initial pace. The survivors of the thirst march were able to regroup at Northern Hammerfell and were joined by additional reinforcements and, most importantly for the Empire, they had an undisputed stream of constant reinforcements ready, willing and able to eliminate large numbers of elves. into a bunch of pieces, remember how I said there were actually only three stable Imperial Nations left, one is Cyrodel which is covered by Thalmor at the moment, two is High Rock which while providing reinforcements to the Empire is a little too far away to reinforce reliably. the homelands, but then there was Skyrim and there were no Thalmor in Skyrim to stop a bunch of angry Nords from coming down to show the altmer what happened to those snow elves thousands of years ago in the year 173.

Things They began to change. With the favor of the Imperials, at least outside of Cyrodiil, the Siege of Hagatha was lifted, driving out the Thalmor and having the added benefit of cooling tensions between the region's two main factions. Lydia Anelia managed to cross the desert to get away from the angry people with curved swords, but then she went straight to the Imperial Legions under the command of a General Desinuus in the city of what is well, well, in the city of the skaven, those two armies met in one of the largest battles of the war across the The result was not really decisive for either side.

Aranelia's army was weakened to the point where further gains would be impossible, and in a defensive war, preventing the attacker from attacking further is as good a start as any before continuing the war. I want to tell you about someone important to this small historical event here Emperor Titus Mead II Many people think he is a pushover who signed the Empire with a white gold Concord advertisement in the

great

est display of cowardice. This opinion is quite common. both in-universe and out of it, let me tell you why Titus Mead is, as I said before, he was dealt a bad hand from the beginning, he inherited an empire in Decline, one that was almostholy inferior than it once was through no fault of their own, the thalamore, were the rising power of nirn as the empire crumbled, the spirit of the tiber septum himself even says that perhaps it is time for something new to take its place in Morrowind, whether you side with him or not is up to you, but neither In that way, he was clearly a ghost of his former glory and sure enough, just three years into his reign, the Thalmor began to threaten him and when he tells him that he leaves in a few days, almost his entire army is invading his lands and letting him know again that All his advisors asked him not to continue with this war and accept the demands of the Thalmor and there is no chance that at least some of They weren't Nordic, the same people we've spent the last 11 and a half years with. hearing about the Treaty being signed, Titus Mead II stood his ground against the Thalmor and did the best he could and to be frank, if you don't agree you're a damn fool and nothing sums up this point better than the siege of the Imperial City in In the spring of 174, the thalma redirected practically their entire army towards the capital of the Empire;

The Tower of White Gold is located within the city and the Thalmor are very interested in such things for reasons we will cover later: Nari Finn's army attacked from the southwest and Titus Mead once again had two options before him: he could make the classic heroic sacrifice and go down with the ship and ensure that the few months he In fantasy settings, he used his damn brain a little, so he came up with a plan. It was a very simple concept and required a set of Skyforge steel testicles to pull it off. He was to leave the Imperial City in the ancient Marian circle.

The Imperial Army's Eighth Legion fought a doomed fight on the city walls to hold out long enough for Titus Mean with his main army to withdraw from the capital. It was a resounding success, but this is the kind of success that no one celebrates much with the main army gone and the 8th legion destroyed, the imperial city was now in Thalmor hands and they committed a bunch of outlandish and silly war crimes against the inhabitants . Only elves are elves, you know, they have every right, it seemed as if the Empire had really lost with this, of course, just like before, it only seemed that way to the Thalmor and, in fact, Titus Mead was more than happy to keep the Thalmor thinking this was the case, since the winner from 174 to 175, he gave every appearance that he was preparing to surrender, making all kinds of moves and sending Messengers to the right, pointed bricks, that kind of things and immediately afterwards he was preparing for the last Hail Mary of War.

General Decyanus, the general who had fought against the city named after Ratman had been ordered to come help Cyrodiil instead of continuing to fight ELD Marion Hammerfell while serving his Emperor, dismissed so many invalids from the army. as possible to help keep the province at least somewhat safe. You might be wondering what that's like. helped in some way, it's understandable, so the thing is invalid, it's not the biggest quotes possible, he was walking around and saying, how does your arm feel today? Soldier and if they said something like, you know, I slept in a bit of a funny way, but it's Okay, I would tell them that they were not fit for active duty and cyrodol and that they were going to be discharged to remain at Hammerfell.

It was simply a happy coincidence, no doubt, these men were allowed to raise their own army to drive the elves out of Hammerfell. Later, regardless of fate, his remaining forces marched home to heed the Emperor's call in the year 175. Emperor Titus Mead committed all of his available forces in one last desperate Gambit. He gathered General Deseuus and the remaining legionnaires to him through the Thamers. He was soon still in Hammerfell. as a result of the legionnaires he left behind, in addition to this, there was an army of nordic led by a general Jonah and a final army led by himself, at least I will continue to say that it was led by him, that Blades game on mobile or whatever.

Hell, he invented an entire player character and had him replace Titus Mead, but if Bethesda can drag and break his own cannon, so can I, so let's go with him, it was the tightest meat who led this army in the battle to resume. the Imperial City was going to be known as the Battle of the Red Ring, which is something most people who played Oblivion or Skyrim on an original Xbox 360 would be familiar with. It hurts me that there are people who won't understand that joke because they aren't. General Desinuus, old enough, and his forces came to the city from the west, while Jonah and the Nords came from the south, although the Thalmor launched several counterattacks, especially against Jonah's army, they failed to drive it out and Titus Mead He led his forces towards The Fray on the fifth day of the battle shooting directly towards the Imperial City wielding the golden Legendary Sword, a sword cleverly named for the fact that it is gold, he fought his way to their capital and recaptured it.

Thalmor tried to go to hell. They left Dodge and were quickly greeted by a shield wall of Nords only too happy to send them to whatever pagan hell the Ulmers believe in, probably Chicago or something. General Narifin himself was captured near the Imperial City and was kept alive for more than a month. Hanging directly from the white gold tower, it is not known where he was buried and some sources say that danger took him at the end of a stay at the Cyrodiil Hotel. Look no further for proof that Thalmor or something worse than the Daedra helped this guy.

Personally, I like to think that he was simply dumped on a plot of land that was used for farming, his corpse would then be turned into fertilizer and do more for the people of Nirn than when he was alive with this resounding success, a vast majority . of the Thalmor Army and the grains have been completely destroyed and the empire was able to force a peace agreement with the thalmar known as the white gold concordat. The consequences of this piece of paper are pretty well known and I'm sure you're aware of the big sticking points I'm assuming you've played Sky Armor, watched people play it, or been on the internet in the last 10 years, but for For the sake of a complete video, I will go over the most important points, ultimately the provisions imposed.

The empire was little different from those of the initial demands that the thalmar sent. Southern hammerfell ended up being handed over to the Thalmor despite not only the bloody battle in the skaven but the imperial remnants waging war against the thalmer alongside the native redguards, the swords. were disbanded and Thalmor agents would hunt down the survivors in the following years and of course the humans of Tamriel were no longer required to worship Talus with a deity and the thalmo were allowed more or less open access to the Empire to ensure worship. It didn't happen. The followers of the man God encountered were to be dealt with in a lethal manner, and of course all of this has quite drastic consequences.

Hammerfell was outraged by what they saw as Cyrodil surrendering independence to him. They felt that the thalmer might have been defeated. once and for all, if the Empire had gone ahead and waged its own war against the elves, the empire was forced to abandon any claim to the region and recognize it as its own independent province. Because of this, Hammerfil was successful in dealing with with the elves. thalmar, which lends some credence to his claims, although at least personally I find it understandable that the empire did what it did, its armies were barely hanging on as they were, and although the thalmer of the region were related, there were many morels on the islands of Somerset and While this may be a cheat, Skyrim's loading screens say that with the swords in the game it was either this or Complete Destruction for the Empire, speaking of the swords, this is perhaps the least important of the treaty's main stipulations , although there is much knowledge and capable agents were undoubtedly lost when the Thalmor hunted them.

In the end, the Empire simply formed the pentatus oculatus to replace the swords as the emperor's bodyguard. It can be argued that they were not as effective as swords, but they were both bodyguards. when an emperor was killed during his rule, so it's not like his record is worse at least, the oculatus never tried to force me to kill parthernax and of course the banning of the cult of Talos made a lot of people unhappy at first the Empire just "Yes brother, we will not allow the worship of Talos at all, trust me brother, I promise", and then thalmer Justice started walking around the Empire purging the worshipers and the treaty was enforced from hence, not much by the granted Empire, but by Thalmor agents, not cyrodiil." Doubt there's any conflict regarding this, but in Skyrim this is where things got really spicy.

I won't go into too much detail because you've no doubt played Skyrim, but the Nords in the region were quite unhappy with this and a large portion of them, led by Ulfric Stormcloak, did their best to rebel from the Empire and found themselves imposing unfair obligations. to other people. The Nords in particular were so angry because not only were they forced to follow the Concord even though the Thalmor had never come to their lands, but they also believed that the Thai receptin was one of them, no one told the Nords that It was probably a loaf and both sides know very well that war in the future is inevitable.

Hell, the thalmar call it the first war with the Empire, you don't call something the first if I don't plan on there being a second, both sides are making their own preparations to prepare for the second round. The thalmer have no intention of losing this time and with Skyrim erupting into Civil War, things are looking bleak for the Empire, but oh well, at least. Empire didn't have to give the thalmer all that gold, that's something, assuming you play Skyrim like I do, you've probably killed more Thalmor throughout your game than were killed in this entire war and if I may speculate.

There's one more thing to consider historically in the Elder Scrolls: the avatars of the Dead God Lorkin have a habit of appearing whenever elves really need to die ASAP Yusgramor and his fancy ax were not one, although one of his 500 companions probably was. It was and Of course, the palatine white coup is almost certainly another such case. He'd suffocate you with moths if you tried to say it to his face, but in addition to being a cyborg time traveler, he's probably also an avatar of Lorkin and, of course, the biggest elevator in history. nothing on the level of hatred that Pelinal White Strike has for the elves, who is to say that in the upcoming second war against the Thalmor another of these figures will not appear, but for now the story of the Great War for Tamriel is over, unlike of many backgrounds.

Fantasy events and stories, war is a living memory for many people in the environment and if I remember correctly, Bethesda said that we will see the result of Skyrim Civil War and the next Elder Scrolls game that will no doubt be released at some point of the next ones.
