Let’s explore one of Skyrim’s unsolved mysteries! This Skyrim theory video explores the Temple of Xrib, the Dwemer, the Falmer & the Sightless Pit.
WHO is Xrib? Let us know what you think the answer to this elder scrolls mystery is in the comments. The elder scrolls lore surrounding these theories was so fun to investigate so we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!

it would be cool if in eso 6 the Falmer turn back to snow elves the dwemer made then Falmer maybe they also had a cure
Do the Falmer whisper anything?
Xirb is just a fake god they chose to worship to troll the others.
I’m ready to see the falmar evolve back having their sight
Theory: rituals at the Temple of Xrib allowed the Falmer to see through Calcelmo's spycam
I think its plausible that the dreamer were atheist. It's not saying they didn't believe entities like Azura or Akatosh didn't exist, rather, they didn't consider them gods.
If the dwemer thought they could achieve the same power, which at least some did, it would make it easier to consider them to be entities with immense power and knowledge, but not gods.
It really depends on how the dwemer considered entities like the aedra and daedra. Did they consider them to be gods, or did they coder them to be beings with immense knowledge and power?
Idk why but the calcelmo spycam made me laugh so hard. I remember playing skyrim for the first time in the 5th grade and sneaking into their was the biggest pain. I was a 2 handed heavy armor warrior so my sneak skill was so bad 😂.
calcelmo spycam xDDD
Oh crap. I forgot to resubscribe to this channel. I have a ton if catching up to do.
it might actually be pronounced "zrib" instead of "skrib"
Nice. Sightless pit was one of the first locations I discovered in my most recent playthrough. I’ve been avoiding it like the plague.
I’m in VR
it really is amazing how much Bethesda put into Skyrim, if they put the same amount of effort into 6 with the massive advancement of hardware since Skyrim it would be huge
bug from morrowind god
"SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS!"
How is it that after watching this video for 1 hour I am only 1 minute in
What the heck was that assemble of letters at the 15 minute mark?!
I have to say dude, I'm filing this under "too crazy to NOT be true", one step below Kirkbride, someone at Bethesda is saying "I didnt think anyone would ever figure it out!"
I follow you since The Void was the only thing,and only I can say is that you outdone yourself with this one boys!
I think its because of that one story of how a dwemer died from tricking Azura and the rose in the box thing. Some of the dwemer after that saw that as proof that gods are meant to be worshipped and Azura being the "smartest", its no wonder why they build their temple near the statue of Azura.
Not sure if this matters at all, but if you have the 'Mini-DLC' item Wraithguard and Sunder… XRIB is where you find them at the quests end.
I wish you could return the eyes of the farmer to knight paladin Celebor in the forgotten Vale. It just feels like a justice long overdue.
The Dwemer weren't Atheist as you said, but they fall more closer into the Anti-Theist category. Those who just don't care for or like religion in any sense.
We're gonna be learning about Skyrim things until Elder Scrolls 6 DLC at this point aren't we?
A Scrib in elder scrolls is the juvenile form of the Kwama. Thats where Scrib jelly comes from. Kwama mining was a thing in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Think there are also Scribs in Elder Scrolls Online. Would have figured an Elder Scrolls expert would have at least mentioned that…
If the Dwemer did worship something, I've always imagined Jyggalag for he is of logic and order, which the Dwemer embody.
10 years and 40+ characters and I have never stumbled across this place…
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed. Agree on Xarxes as the god. I would have loved there to be more pieces of lore & clues here.
In my mind, the transition from snow elf to modern day Falmer was over generations… I imagine the Dwemer would have had parts of their cities (like the grey quarter) that were for Snow Elves, and would have let then build shrines etc.
This explains the snow Elf statue & eyes (can't take some random bandits word for it a few thousand years later that it was built in secret) and also this place.
Great intro, you made me want to reinstall skyrim and check this out.
Do you know what happened to The Epic Nate 315?
Trinston was here.. ..
The dwemer are religious they just don't follow the gods instead they believe themselves to be as powerful as gods.
The Dwemer are best described as Non-Theistic rather than Atheists. Deities were simply not the focus of their culture.
The dude walking backwards at 22:54 trippin me out bruh lmao
Damn it, why did this have to show up in my recommendations. Time for my yearly Skyrim rerun.
I felt that the contorted path to getting down to the temple of Xrib was the result of an earthquake. The same earthquake may have brought the altar to the surface, separating it from the Falmer. I think you could work that into your theory.
Yeah, I found this on my first playthrough, and it was weird man. I wanted to know why this place existed, and who the hell Xrib was and why he had a temple. now I know, thanks! (well, at least all we can know about Xrib lol)
I love how they take real Nordic history and make their own version of it like the conflict between Jorrund the skald king and his brother is based off the conflict with Hakon The Good and Eirik Blood Axe (Hakon wanted to fully christianize Norway and so claimed the throne against his pagan brother which failed and was done by Olaf Tryggvason)
Stories of battle are often told by the winners. I believe the Falmer had good reason to attack the Nords, and since the Nords ended up lasting longer, they molded the story.
As soon as the theme changed from whatever music was playing to the Oblivion theme I caught on wow I listen to that music too much lol
This feels like a new episode of Elder Scrolls Detective by Camelworks, a channel I also love. I need this in my life. Do more if possible haha
I enjoyed the vid, but I do wonder how the Falmer could distinguish between red and green if they're blind.
Nice editing too.
Here's a thought…You know how the Altmer and specifically the Thalmor want to essentially END existence on Tamriel so that they can be reunited with the Aedra or whatever? What if…the Dwemer achieved that goal already somewhat and that's where they went? They sorta Neon Genesis Evangelioned out of existence into primordial stuffz. Or, seeing as they were sorta obsessed with and really good at time travel stuff (like we see in the Greymoor chapter of Elder Scrolls Online), maybe they used tonal magic/technology which, you can imagine if you make enough noise or strong enough vibrations, you could create a "tear" in time space or something and essentially, they created a wormhole that allowed them to "Dragon Break" their asses back to before the Aedra left or whateva. If you follow my logic (I may not be using all the concepts correctly). So maybe that's part of where the story will lead for Elder Scrolls 6…if the Thalmor are trying to end existence in some way to escape their mortal chains on Nirn, then maybe they will increasingly get interested in Dwemer stuff and maybe we'll find out finally where they went…and then, like the Precursors in the Jak series were Ocelots, we'll find out the Dwemer were, in fact, mudcrabs.
You know, I've played Skyrim for hundreds of hours and done many, many builds. It's amazing to think that in all the quests, all the delving, all the adventuring, there are still places I haven't explored. The 10th anniversary is fast approaching and I'm still learning new things about it. I can't help but wonder if there is some corner of the game that no one's found yet.
20:00 yes, but according to the priestess, the statue is only a few hundred years old (if I recall correctly) not a few thousand like it would need to be to be seen by the dwarves.
I want to play a game as a snow elf. They're so cool.
I may wronf, but i do Remember a loading screen telling rhat the statue was actually the snow Prince
I would love to see one of your theories make it into the game as a book or something, the fact you’re still talking about this game to this day deserves some love from Bethesda and because each one of your theories go into great depth.
May the Elves burn
