Witness the Ayleid empire at it’s height, and witness it fall. We all know that the Ayleids were once the most powerful empire in Tamriel, and that they owe their downfall to the Cyro-Nordic alliance that rebelled against them, but some of the specifics about them might surprise you yet. Some believe that the Ayleids survived long after their empire was destroyed. Indeed, there are some who say they survive still. Learn all about the vast and magical empire of the Heartland High Elves in our most recent episode.

ELDER LORE 
Thanks so much for the new episode! Keep up the good work!
I just discovered these podcasts a few days ago and I’ve already run through the entirety of your collection >.<
I started playing TES during Morrowind and was hooked. My initial gaming experience was centered around simply being over-powered and essentially min-maxing my character, but that quickly became boring. My interest in TES lore was piqued via a few of the books I actually took the time to read and I became enraptured. Unfortunately I didn't have access to something like this and my understanding of the lore was very minor.
I fell away from the series until Skyrim came out and the thirst for knowledge of TES lore came flooding back. This is when I discovered your podcasts.
I can't thank you enough for quenching my never ending thirst for knowledge of the Elder Scrolls universe. I hope you continue to create these podcasts and they continue to enthrall the hundreds if not thousands of listeners you've already had and will gather in the future.
Just found these a couple days ago. I’ve been playing Skyrim since it came out but never learned the lore. This podcast has given me a much better understanding of the game. I plan on picking up Oblivion tomorrow. Thanks for the awesome podcast.
