The Fall of House Hlaalu: Elder Scrolls Lore

A warm thank you to the many members of the Hlaalu Merchants' Guild for funding this video.

Money overhere

Many Mede Empire supporters don't seem to realize that the majority of Dunmer never liked them, or that Morrowind is another lost territory, like the Summerset Isles, Elsweyr, Valenwood, Black Marsh, Hammerfell, and, in my games, Skyrim.
Dunmer supporters of the Mede Empire are mainly from discredited House Hlaalu, some of whom now live in the Snow Quarter of Windhelm, and, oddly, complain about disrespect, neglect and disdain when they disrespect, neglect and disdain others.
These few "proud and naive" Dunmer of a specific House do not therefore represent the treatment of all of their race by the Nords, let alone in Windhelm itself. Witness Luaffyn the bard, and Voldsea Giryon, Dunmer residents at Candlehearth Hall. And nothing prevents a Dunmer Dragonborn from becoming a fully accepted and honoured Stormcloak either; I've done it.

and rightly so that they fell 🤣 that's what happens when you become milk drinking, imperial supporting TRAITORS to your own race

I call BS!

My first Elder Scrolls game was Morrowind. I did a lot of research (for a game) and finally decided I would be a House Hlaalu Dunmer.

I was a Dunmer in Oblivion and pretended he was a descendant of my Morrowind character.

It was the same for Skyrim.

I'm even a Dunmer in ESO and I went back to Morrowind to find a name that was related to Hlaalu so this Dunmer could be an ancestor of the other characters.

What was done to Hlaalu was just wrong...and somewhat nonsensical.

It would've made more sense for most of Hlaalu to leave Vardenfell with their wealth and go to the Empire since they were already so close not stay and get wiped out.

Sorry, I took it personal when they destroyed Hlaalu.
