Welcome to Geology in Skyrim! Between Elder Scrolls Online, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, there are a lot of really cool clues about what lies beneath Tamriel, and how it shaped the landscape. TESV - featuring the most accurate earth science of any TES game - features clues about how we can date the landscape, ores, and even tell a story with how simple things like ebony are placed. Did Red Mountain steal power from the Throat of the World? Is the Rift really a Rift? What about Eastmarchs geysers and hot springs? Find out this and more!

Have you ever looked up at the night sky, and thought you might be seeing constellations? Have you also wondered if Star Sign movements work as they do in the lore? Do they shift in the sky differently throughout the year? Did you know that Azuras Star is a real star that can be seen in the night sky?
Stargazing for constellations in Vanilla (unmodded) Elder Scrolls games is a real thing, and its mechanics are based on lore.

Some Star Facts also discussed in this video:
-All 12 Star signs appear in Skyrim and Oblivion. The 3 Guardian stars (Warrior, Mage, Thief) appear in Morrowind. There are no star signs in the night sky in The Elder Scrolls Online, Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, or Redguard. However, Arena features Masser & Secunda.
-Skyrims night sky has a yearly cycle that shifts every night, like in real life. This means certain constellations will rise in different places every month. A constellation wont appear in the exact same place until the same date the next year. Except, no leap year day exists. Which is actually necessary because the skybox is off by about a day when the next year rolls around.
-Lore tells us that Star Signs rise with the sun on their given month, but this is not an ingame mechanic.
-Also every night has the same amount of daylight minutes as the last.
-Azuras Star *may* exist. But its conditional location *DOES*: Below the constellation of the Steed... The Steed gets equal time in both the East & West horizon on exactly 21 Evening Star (Real life: 21 December = Winter Solstice). Every other night, it gets more time on the other hoirzon since rising locations shift every day. This is because of the night skyboxs 45 degree angle.
Arena to Battlespire featured no night sky constellations, but Arena featured a full day/night cycle, a MOVING NIGHT SKYBOX, and Masser & Secunda. Daggerfall got no rotating skybox. Redguard started giving us starmaps, that were actually usable for later games, and later lined up similar to Oblivions DLC Orrery. Also lined up with Morrowinds feature of the Guardian star signs. Then, Oblivions skybox rotation shifted 45 degrees, and made a full pass every other night. Skyrims was every night.
The 3 Guardian Star Signs protect their charges from harm. Each Guardian (Warrior, Mage, Thief) protects their own set of 3 charges each (Lady, Lord, Steed, Apprentice, Atronach, Ritual, Tower, Shadow, Lover). The Guardians theoretically watch out for the Serpent, a lone star sign, which has no month attached to it, but allegedly moves around the sky, preying on the other star signs. During a constellations given month, it may be able to watch the Serpent from the opposite side of the sky to protect the others from danger. This is of course, not in a game mechanic, but makes the Serpent star sign that much cooler in my opinion!

![Top 5 Reasons Bravil is POOR - Elder Scrolls: Leftover Lore

Bravil is a port city on the Niben River of Cyrodiil, and should be seeing plenty of ship traffic going from Leyawiin to the Imperial City. So why is it poor? Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Legends, and Online all have clues related to Unemployment, labor, Khajiit, Elsweyr, minorities, leadership, incarceration, skooma, drugs, corruption, war, independence, and trade. Welcome to Bravil Lore.
00:00 - Intro
01:17 - #5 Labor Participation
05:18 - #4 Leadership
07:40 - #3 Drugs
12:25 - #2 Wartorn
15:10 - #1 Location
Today, well talk about a variety of topics related to Bravils squalid, slummy state. Heres some of the OC made for this video, which are free to use:
-Bravils Workforce Chart: https://i.imgur.com/AUA1Qeg.png
-Dunmer/Khajiit on boats: https://imgur.com/gallery/k6o7dbZ
Bravils workforce chart was very interesting to make. Shop gold, and actual pricing economies compared to other cities proved to be insignificant. However, taking account the number of Skooma Junkies in the Skooma Den, our unemployment number got pretty high for Bravil. Featured around 04:09 is a work force comparison to other counties around Cyrodiil.
We talk about Count Regulus Terentius, and his poor leadership. The empty jail cells in Bravil Castle Dungeon. Gellius Terentius, the skooma addict. Construction Kit dialogue helped to show some comments around town about the count and his drug addict son, as well as a loading screen.
Then, we talk about Skooma. A long section of the video, covering Elsweyr drug trafficking, thieves guild stuff, the Skooma Den, and skooma lore... sure to help explain that refined moonsugar. Bravils relationship with Skooma explained.
Bravils had its share of war. From the 1st Eras Alessian v. Ayleid war, where commander Teo Bravillius Tasus took the area after discovering the Ayleids use of Alteration magicks. During the Interregnum, the Alliance War saw Bravil in the hands of the Thalmor - though in ESO, players must glitch to get to Bravil.
Then, Bravil was independent from the Empire. Leyawiin rebelled too. After the 4th Era, before Titus Mede I re-conquered the heartland, Waters Edge rose as a major trade post. Many merchants and businessmen opted to leave the crime-ridden city of Bravil behind, and Leyawiin was not much better off. They went to this village.
But war did not stop for this place. The drug war still ran rampant thanks to a combination of poor leadership, poor labor, and Bravils inability to prosper. Elder Scrolls Legends Dark Brotherhood mission shows Bravil in its deepest chaos of the 4th Era.
Finally, we go into Bravils location, and prosperity as a port city. We follow two merchants: a Dunmer from Tear, and a Khajiit from Senchal.
I hope you enjoy the video! This one was fun to make.
