Cheers guys, Sylth here
and today we're taking you through all the joinable factions
within skyrim, the elder scrolls V
note that I won't be including
bard's college, because although it is a joinable faction, it's not exactly
for fighting, it's more so that you can become a bard
and you know, the bards just sing
and play instruments, so it's a faction that is out of context
with the rest, so without further adue...
Lets get started... The Blades faction, whose
crest are
of course, 2 crossed blades with a crown on top
referring to their duty as protecters of the
emperor of tamriel
their main base of operations within skyrim is
sky haven temple, right next to markarth
what's more, the dragonborn
first gets to know this faction through the main questline
once they fine Delphine after completing the quest
Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. However,
it's only later, during the quest Alduin's Wall
that we truly get to know their sancturay named as
sky haven temple. Although the blades did
and still do watch over the empire
from the shadows and protect it,
their origins rely somewhere else.
They were actually dragon killers!
They even have
unique swords that can only be located within
sky haven temple, like dragon's bane.
Which obviously reffers to their past
as dragon hunters and dragon killers
if you notice here in the video, you can also see
that their sanctuary
is actually located underground
as you can see, the light coming from the roof,
which eludes to this kind of
darky secret organisation
that protects the empire. However,
unfortunately they did come to a fall
and it is in the elder scrolls 5, skyrim
that they get revived
and resurrected
because of the appearance of the dragonborn,
which is, of course, the player
that represents the life force
of the blades, since
the dragonborn is
the biggest dragonkiller, since he absorbs
its souls (dragon souls)
one thing that you'll also notice is what's happening right here
at the end of the main questline,
the blades will make you choose to side with them
or to side with the greybeards
because the greybeards' leader is paarthunax
and he was/is a dragon...
the dragons enslaved manking,
commited crimes against mankind
and the blades did not and do not tolerate that
and you're forced to choose to side with them
or to side with the greybeards, which is actually
the next faction we're gonna cover
but before we do, let's take a look at Alduin's wall
the most beautiful wall I've ever seen in my life
which foretells the prophecy of how to defeat alduin
Next in line are the greybeards.
They dislike the blades, because
they tried to kill their master
besides that,
the blades always criticize them, because
they do nothing, all they do is stand at their temple
in High Hrothgar, which is by the way
the highest peak in all of skyrim
And this dispute between the blades and the greybeards
can clearly be seen
when you try to negotiate a truce between the empire and the stormcloaks
Before the negotiation even starts,
The Greybeards deny entrance to the blades
and tell them they're not welcome here
if you've never seen this happen in-game
or if you've never done this quest,
or if you don't remember it, I'll be providing a link down below
I've done a video, in which you can see exactly what the negotiation is about
and what happens during it.
As of right now,
The Greybeards are composed/formed by 5 members
4 of which are monks
who reside within High Hrothgar
Named Arngeir
Borri, Einarth and Wulfgar
The fifth member, who is paarthunax
who resides within the throat of the world
Another undeniable fact about the greybeards, is that
they are masters of the voice
meaning that, they can shout and produce a thu'um
In fact,
They even teach the dragonborn his first steps
in the way of the voice
just so you know,
the difference between someone
who can wield the way of the voice and the dragonborn
is that unlike
any other common person,
the dragonborn is the only one who can
truly kill a dragon by devouring its soul
Another interesting side note is that
Ulfric Stormcloak, the leader of the Stormcloak Rebellion
was taught by the greybeards
how to wield the way of the voice
and he used the way of the voice to kill
Torygg, the high king of skyrim.
This assassination goes completely against the values that
the greybeards take into consideration
since they are very pacifist
and believe the way of the voice
is used not for agression and its true porpuse
is to commune with the gods
and promote peace as a whole
Now, let's take a look at
the leader of the greybeards
this dragon over here
As you can see, the leader of the greybeards is actually a very friendly dragon
he doesn't try to eat you or burn you alive
like the rest of the dragons...
After you've killed Alduin, all the dragons that sided with him
Will now help paarthunax and the greybeards.
Now, let's take a look at the empire
The guys who are trying to shut down the stormcloak rebellion
The empire's main base of operations resides
in Solitude
more specifically in castle dour
Unlike the stormcloaks, the empire bent the knee
to the aldmeri dominion
and was forced to abbide by some of their rules
like not worshipping the god Talos
which the stormcloak rebellion
obviously adores and wants to worship
this is the main reason why skyrim is under
a civil war between the empire and the stormcloaks
to join the empire, all you need to do is
follow exactly the path where I'm going
and speak to general Tullius, the leader of the empirial legion
within skyrim.
They will first lay out a test for you, to see if you're worthy
Then, you'll be ready to take the oath and truly become a member.
Now let's take a look at the Stormcloak Rebellion.
The guys who win a few good points
by trying to worship the god they want to (Talos)
but then, lose a bunch more points because they're racist and insult
everyone who isn't a nord.
The Stormcloaks main base of operations resides in The Palace of Kings
within the city of Windhelm.
To join the stormcloak rebellion,
all you need to do is follow the steps I'm showing on this video
You will see Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak
sitting on the throne. Left to the throne
is a little room
where Galmar Stonefist is located.
You need to speak to Galmar, so that you can
start getting ready to join the rebellion
Like the empire, they will first lay out a test for you
and then, if you're able to complete it
They'll accept you and you'll be ready to take the oath.
Next in line is the Dark Brotherhood
a secret organisation of assassins
who may be summoned through the black sacrament
To join the Dark Brotherhood,
all you need to do is to head over to any inn
and ask the innkeeper for any news
he will tell you that Aventus Arentino
is trying to perform the black sacrament in his parent's house.
Note that Aventus Arentino is an orphan
who has been mistreated by Grela, the kind
the owner of an orphanage in Riften
To sum it up,
Aventus performed the black sacrament
to summon the dark brotherhood (to kill Grela)
We go in there and steal the kill from the dark brotherhood.
Turns out the brotherhood doesn't like that
so they send you a note saying "We know"
Once you receive the note, sleep in any bed
and when you wake up, you'll notice you've been kidnapped
by Astrid
The leader of the Dark Brotherhood.
Turn around and you'll see three people who have also been kidnapped.
Just like you!
Then, Astrid tells you to kill 1 of them
to repay your debt
towards the dark brotherhood,
since you stole their other kill over Grela the kind.
After you've done the deed,
Astrid will invite you to the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary to join their family.
Once you're inside, you'll meet all the other members of the brotherhood.
Namely Arnbjorn, a native nord
that contracted lycanthropy and is now a werewolf
using his powers to perform his duties as an assassin
Babette, a breton child
who is 300 years old and keeps
her young childish appearance
because she's a blood sucking vampire
she uses the fact that she looks like an innocent child
for her advantage, making her assassinations
under the name of the dark brotherhood much easier
There is also Gabriella, a dunmer
who owns a big spider named Liss as a pet
and even tends to its nest from time to time...
needless to say that these 2 work together as a team to murder people...
Then, there is Nazir, a redguard
who did not forsake his origins
and still wears the red guard hood and clothes
as well as a scimitar, a curved sword
that was forged in the deserts of hammerfel
Then, there's Festus Krex
an elder, who claims to be an ex teacher
at the college of winterhold
he says he left the college
because no one truly appreciated magic as it should be
obviously Festus uses magic
to perform his assassinations...
Last but not least, there is Veezara
an argonian whose origins lay with the shadowscale
an old group of assassins who served the kind of argonia
veezara believes to be the last of the shadowscale
which led him to join the Dark Brotherhood.
As you progress through the story of the Dark Brotherhood
You'll notice that you lose a few members and win a few more
but I'll leave that for you to find out.
Now let's take a look at the companions faction
who trace their origins back to Ysgramor
and the group of 500 warriors who conquered skyrim
The companions are a guild of warriors
who reside within Whiterun
more specifically in Jorvaskrr
To join them, all you need to do is
to speak to one of their leaders, like
Farkas, Vilkas, Skjor or Aela
and tell them you want to be a companion
I have a more detailed video about the companions faction.
I'll leave a link to the video in the description
The companions own a unique forge called the skyforge
which is operated by Eorlund Greymane
A master smith who can teach you a lot about smithing
Besides that,
There is also another curiosity about the companions
They branch off into another sub faction
called The Circle
Composed only by the leaders of the companions
The Circle hold a dark secret that only the members know.
and once you join them,
they'll tell you they're all werewolves.
The Circle also own their own private chamber
named underforge
located right below the skyforge.
What's more, the underforge has a secre passage
that leads to the outskirts ofWhiterun.
Let's keep going and take a look at the College of Winterhold.
A guild of mages located far up,
in the northern reagions of skyrim.
To join this faction, all you need to do is:
go to winterhold and cross the bridge to the college.
when you try to do so,
Feralda will stop you
and force you to show her your skills as a magician.
If you don't have any, you are able to buy a few spellbooks from faralda
and then use the spells you've learnt
as a way to prove your magic abilities
Once you step into the college, you'll notice
they have their own library filled with books
and endless knowledge
As well as their own librarian, an orc
called Urag gro-Shub
Besides that, they also have many wizards
namely Savos Aren
The Archmage and leader of the college
Mirabelle Ervine the master wizard
whom you may speak to
to acquire novice mage robes and hood
Then, they also have Tolfdir.
A master wizard that teaches the alteration school of magic.
Colette Marence
Another master wizard that teaches the restoration school of magic.
Faralda
Another one that teaches the destruction school of magic
Drevis Neloren
a wizard as well....
that teaches the illusion school of magic
Phinis Gestor, a wizard
that teaches the conjuration school of magic
Finally, we have Sergius Turrianus
an expert enchanter who can teach you a lot about enchanting.
The College is overall not supported by the people of skyrim
due to its dark past
and fear of the power of magic
A long time ago, an event known as the great colapse
brought huge waves crashing down on winterhold.
Most of the once prosperous city was destroyed.
However, the College of winterhold was magically untouched
which led people to believe that the cause of the great collapse
was directly related to the mages at the college
The next faction we're gonna cover is the Thieves guild.
They reside in Riften and to join them,
you must go there
As soon as you arrive to Riften's market place during the day,
You'll notice Brynjolf
and after helping him out with framing an innocent civillian,
he will invite you into the Thieves Guild
After proving your worth,
You'll be awarded with the Thieves Guild armor.
As you might have already noticed,
the Thieves Guild home resides underground, in the sewers of Riften
Besides that,
although the Thieves Guild focuses on stealing
and the Dark Brotherhood focuses more on killing,
they are both related and often help each other.
One of the most important things about the Thieves Guild
are their shadowmarks.
Which are placed throughout skyrim by members of the guild
to leave indications or hints to other members.
Let's take a look at them.
Here is the safe shadowmark
it indicates that something or some path
is safe to follow.
The protected shadowmark
indicates that a certain place or someone
is under the guild's protection and should not be robbed or assaulted
The Guild Shadowmark, which is the Thieves Guild symbol itself
indicates that the place is safe and belongs to the guild
or that someone from the guild is nearby
The Fence shadowmark tells us that
there is a person nearby
willing to buy your stolen goods
this mark is very important
since normal traders and shop keepers
don't buy your stolen goods
only people identified with this mark do.
The thieves cache shadowmark,
which indicates that something of value was placed nearby
by the guild, for other members to pick up
it's basically a way for the guild to help each other
The loot shadowmark
tells us that there's somebody
or something nearby
that the guild's thieves have deemed worth stealing
The empty shadowmark
which indicates that someone from the guild already looted the place
and there is nothing of value nearby.
The danger shadowmark
which tells us that there's something or someone
dangerous nearby that can kill you
or give you a good fight if you try to steal from them.
At last, we have the escape route shadowmark.
Which tells us about the existance of a way
to leave a certain place if you find yourself trapped
This shadowmark can mostly be visible within jails.
If you've ever been caught and put into a jail you might have seen it.
Much like The Circle in the companions,
The Nightingales work simillarly
within the Thieves Guild
The Nightingales reside within the Nightingale Hall,
east of Riften and to join them
you'll need to join the Thieves Guild first.
and once you complete the quest Trinity Restored,
you'll be awarded with
the nightingale armor
and you'll be a fully fledged member.
You'll also notice that the group is very small.
composed only by you,
karliah and brynjolf.
The Nightingales worship the daedric lord Nocturnal,
which empowers them, giving the choice
to pick one of three powers
The agent of stealth,
represented by the crescent moon,
gives you the power called shadowcloak of nocturnal
that turns you invisible when you sneak
for 120 seconds (duration).
The agent of subterfuge
represented by the half moon
gives you the nightingale subterfuge power
that makes targets in the area of effect
to attack anybody on sight
and finally the agent of strife
represented by the full moon
which gives you the nightingale strife
that draws health from your foes
Next faction in line is Namira's Coven
a group of cannibals who desecrate temples
and graveyards to eat corpses
while worshipping the daedric princess Namira
the lady of desecration. To join them,
all you need to do is to head over to
Markarth and go to the Understone Keep
as soon as you walk in, turn left
and you'll find a priest of Mara
named Brother Verulus, he'll tell you
the hall of the dead is closed
due to some strange activity within.
After you convince him to let you in,
you'll hear a woman's voice claiming you're a cannibal just like her
after listening to her plea,
the adventure to join these cannibals begins.
These maniacs will task you
with bringing Brother Verulus
the guy that was guarding the temple from them
into their own lair which is in Reachcliff
east of Markarth.
so that he can become food for them.
... because they are cannibals... they want to eat him alive.
In the end, the choice always comes down to you
you either kill the rest of namira's coven
and slay every single one of them
or you can side with Brother Verulus
and not eat a person, nor become a cannibal...
The choice is up to you, but know that
after you've killed Brother Verulus there's no turning back
and you'll be able to eat him
just like all the other cannibals and become one of them.
On this next one, we'll be taking 2 factions
at the same time,
because they're both intimately related
The Dawnguard and The Volkihar Clan
To join the Dawnguard, all you need to do is
first to have the dawnguard dlc
and second to go to the dayspring canyon
east of Riften, once you do,
a man named Aegmar
will tag along with you and together you join the Dawnguard.
Then, you'll be tasked with
finding out an old vampire relic.
which turns out to be a vampire woman
named Serana who has been locked into a vault
for a few hundred years
You return her to her father,
the leader of the volkihar clan
and this is where you'll be given the chance to either
become a vampire and join the clan
or stick with the dawnguard and hunt them down.
Now let's take a look at a few facts
from the dawnguard faction
and then we'll follow it up with the volkihar faction.
The dawnguard is a group of vampire hunters which
was dismantled and then reformed
because of the volkihar clan.
which are an imminent vampire threat.
The dawnguard use a unique set of weapons
specifically crafted to kill vampires
like crossbows for example
the dawnguard also have armored trolls to aid them in their fight
against the volkihar, they have
smith and archery trainers inside their castle.
They also have their own area
with workbench, the smelter, the grindstone
and a forge
what's more, they also provide you with 2 huskies.
The volkihar clan on the other hand,
is the way to go for vampires
they will offer you the vampire lord power
which grants you the ability to become a vampire lord
with unique powers and an exclusive talent tree
They also provide you with
blood potions which satisfies your hunger
as a vampire.
They have their own human cattle
from which you can feed off of as a vampire.
Unlike the dawnguard, the volkihar also seem to have
a lot more ingredients.
Alchemy ingredients to be more precise, as well as
some other books, but
you can acquire those in a lot of different ways
throughout skyrim
so this is not a big plus...
However, what is a big plus
is the death hounds which the vampires provide you with
they are, obviously
the opposite of the dawnguard huskies.
That's it guys, that's every single joinable faction
in skyrim covered in one single video.
