Skyrim - 5 Khajiit Facts - Elder Scrolls Lore

what's going on ladies and gentlemen my name is Scott and welcome to fudge Muppet Khajiit are without a doubt one of the furriest races in the older Scrolls they are known to be very nimble acrobatic and cunning they also look like humanoid cats which is interesting and due to their feline nature there are now - some of the best thieves and assassins in all of Tamriel the Kachina one of the Beast races of Tamriel and hail from the province of elsewhere which is located in the southernmost part of the continent Easter Valen wood and south of Cyrodiil they have an incredibly fascinating culture and biology and have been in Tamriel since before the elves first arrived here are five facts about the Khajiit facts number one Khajiit is actually a blanket term for a variety of subspecies as they actually have multiple forms that correlate with the phases of the moon's Masser and Secunda during birth this resulting Tajik that look vastly different with so many moon phases and therefore so many different Khajiit aesthetics there are the ohms which are so elf-like they can be mistaken for Bosma and therefore tattoo their faces to look more feline then we have the ohms rot which look very similar to man except they have tails and short light colored fur of course then we have the sathya rat and the soothe eye which is basically just a smaller version and these breeds both have fur that varies from light to dark and have spots stripes or nothing at all the Sathya rata one of the most common breeds and are similar in height and build to men think of the Khajiit you see in Skyrim and Oblivion then there are the cafe which are basically super rat that have an even bigger build and strength and then the cafe rot which are even larger and more powerful than the standard cafe they're described as Jaguar men by other races there's also the toe jay and the toe jay rot which nothing is known about except for that they live in the southern jungle and marsh areas of elsewhere the Khajiit can also look how scat in form and these are known as the alpha key and the Alpha rot which is presumably a larger version the Alpha cannot speak language though they can understand it and are as intelligent as other Khajiit they can even cast spells then we have the dodgy and the slightly larger dodgy rot and these live in the trees and are known to be smaller and weigh much less than other Khajiit they actually reside on branches so high that Bosma aren't able to reach them they are naturally talented in the arcane arts then we have the Palmer which is pretty much a tiger and the Palmer rat which is not only bigger but also more aggressive finally we have the Cinch which are so big they are used as mounts by other Khajiit breeds they actually have four limbs which are one and a half times as long as their rears which makes them look a plaque in stance they are about as tall as an Altima with the weight of about twenty Altima the center art are a bigger version as you'd expect twice as tall and more than twice the weight they also have a shorter body span and straighter legs there's also the main but we'll talk about him soon enough fact number two Khajiit society is primarily matriarchal with a government consisting of the clan mothers of each clan of tribes these mysterious figures gained their power through the control of moon sugar harvests which is a crystal powder that could jet consume on a daily basis the stuff is sold to other provinces for a lot of coin causing non Khajiit consumers to experience a state of euphoria the clan mothers also do maintain a hereditary position of power and play an important role in Khajiit society which is quite a religious one the clan mothers spread cultural myths among the Khajiit and preach religious teachings and lessons to the citizens of elsewhere it has been taught that moon sugar is crystallized moonlight trapped by the waters of the top will see and wash to the sugarcane groves of the ten-mile forest under the guidance of Himura and when they eat it they're all consuming a small part of the soul of the Moon gods more on religion soon but you can see why controlling moon sugar harvest would give the clan mothers even more influence due to this belief which they would help spread the clan mothers also have autonomy from the main and other tribal leaders but who is the main factor number three while Khajiit society is heavily swayed by the clan mothers they actually have a separate head of the kojiki religion known as the main he is more of a nominal leader but is still highly important supposedly non biased and has helped Khajiit civilization become more successful throughout history the mane is said to be born when the two moons are aligned in the sky and according to the legend when a third moon also appears is also said that there is only one main alive at any point in time and that all of the Mane's are actually the same person reincarnated into different bodies while the mane is apparently a completely unique type of Khajiit who doesn't fit into any of the subtypes discussed four facts number one we do know that he stands on two feet like other types of Khajiit and can easily speak and interact with others without any issue it's no coincidence that the mane also has a mane and he grows it by braiding the hair of other Khajiit into in older days Khajiit would shave their own man's off in respect to the main but as the population of Cadiz have grown it would almost be impossible for everyone to do the mean still does wear the hair of his tribe and warrior guard which includes several hundred in number and he is often carried around in a palanquin due to the hefty weight of the hair itself factor number four as implied previously moon sugar is very important to Khajiit so much so that exporting the stuff is actually the primary source of income and elsewhere this crystal powder keeps their economy booming especially considering they user as a kind of magical spice in their cooking it's refined from cane grasses on the fertile ground near the southern rivers of elsewhere and while humans tend to get much higher off the addictive substance Kaji's can still become heavily influenced by if they consume way too much moon sugar is legal in some provinces and illegal in others and has made many travelers rich who sell it around Tamriel this is especially the case when it's used to make skooma which is an extremely addictive narcotic sugar tooth is a term which is used as slang to denote someone who is a schemer addict and medica jeet have fallen prey to this substance as you'd expect that said while skimmer addiction is a large problem in elsewhere it's unlikely going to disappear due to their love for moon sugar skimmer is even used in Khajiit ceremonies where its use is strictly monitored by the moon bishop's factor number five the Khajiit have a religion unlike any of the other races on Tamriel the Khajiit believe that their species began when two littermates ana and fatima that gave birth to the first cat al kasha and earn fatima got busy and began creating more cats giving birth to the gods they acknowledge to this day many of these cat gods have parallel gods in other cultures I'll cash the guardian of time by others known as akatosh Canarsie the guardian of the winds known as kynareth by other cultures surrender the guardian of mercy known as stand are by others other gods include Himura of the tides emmaus mora hircine of the hunger Mehrunes of destruction Marin's Dagon mephala of clan mothers aka mephala Sangan of blood and life AKA sanguine Shagga wrath of insanity otherwise known as sure gorath but yet there are some unique ones like Joan and Joe the moon gods riddle thar the sugar God androgen the thief God it's kind of hard to explain in one fact but there is a whole of cat people religion subscribe to fudge Muppet for more lore videos like this we really enjoy making them for you
