  1. Yea ESO has the best depiction of Volendrung. When I think " the hammer of might " I don't think of a health or stamina draining enchantment I think what ESO depicts of being able to destroy the walls and gates of mighty Imperial keeps and send enemies flying with a single swing of the hammer which you can do when wielding Volendrung in ESO.

    We hear how these daedric artifacts are extremely powerful things yet when we get one it’s just a slightly good enchanted gear except in skyrim where crafted enchanted stuff is way better. ESO makes Volendrung feel like a actual daedric artifact.

  2. And ogres don't forget that Malacath also made the ogres I'm sure the dwemmer enslaved ogres to do all the heavy dirty work for them since the dwemmer had no qualms in enslaving whomever they considered an inferior race.

  3. I don't know how much lore there is on it, but I think a video about the whole Dreamsleeve concept would be super interesting and fun to watch. I guess it'd be similar to your guys' other god videos.

  4. The dwemer helmet looks so bizzare to me. I modded my game so it was an orange glass visor with nighteye effect, it seemed more appropriate to me, for such an advanced/non-vain race to have a more dehumanising and high tech helmet

  5. I have a theory that Dwemer creations are prone to Daedric influence because they're essentially Ph neutral when it comes to divinity. Most craftsmen would work under the influence of Zenithar or an equivalent, either passively or deliberately, but the Dwarves were so anti-divine of all kind that there's no divine spark at all in their creations. So a Daedric Prince looking for an artifact could pick one up and easily sway it to a Daedric influence.

  6. Malacath is god of the spurned and outcast, and thus could have been a patron of clan Rorkhan, whose self imposed exile drove them to new lands. Perhaps not worship, but a working relationship and partnering with Malacath would be beneficial for both.

  8. The fact ebony ore is rare and an essential component of Daedric armour seems to suggest it may originate from Oblivion. This otherworldly nature is further alluded to by the description of "raw ebony" from Morrowind that says it is considered "crystalized blood of the gods". If you consider the mythology around Volendrung it seems possible that the Rourken tribe were aware of the origins of ebony ore and they actually followed a large chunk falling to Nirn like a meteor lighting up the sky as it fell. It would then seem that they found where it landed and forged the Volendrung from the vast ore deposit they now had access to. The truth then became obscured by myth as many things seem to do in Nirn.

  9. In ESO, Volendrung is awarded to PvP players, by sheogorath, as a srot of kill-streak reward. It completely changes the players ability bar, but but drains their health and stamina until death, allowing them for an even more explosive surge in kills at the cost of ending their streak.
