Time to Dye Eggs! Easter Eggs in Skyrim (Part 2)
content auto translated from {from}

So... as I promised, I’m posting the second part of the saga "Easter Eggs in the People!" This post is dedicated to Skyrim (who would have thought?) and its connections to other games in the Elder Scrolls series.

Let’s start, shall we, from the beginning.

The [Elder Scrolls](/games?search=Elder Scrolls) I: Arena

  • For the first time, Labyrinthian was introduced in Arena. Just like in Arena, the Mages Guild participates in your journey to Labyrinthian. And just like in Arena, the player heads there to obtain a magical staff (in Arena, you were looking for the restoration of pieces of the broken Staff of Chaos).

[The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall](/games?search=The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall)

  • During the "Mad Mind" quest, Sheogorath tries to guess who you brought the news from. One of his guesses is the ghost of King Lysandus.

  • In the tavern in Solitude, a bard sometimes plays a melody that we might have heard in the shops in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.

And you still wonder why witches are so evil? You’d be like that too...

  • The Companions have a quest to kill Glenmoril Witches to cure lycanthropy. The Glenmoril Witches and their connection to the cure for lycanthropy were first introduced in Daggerfall.

[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind](/games?search=The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind)

  • During the "Cure For Madness" quest in an icy cave, you can encounter a troll named Udefrykte. This is a reference to Udefrykte from Bloodmoon. They look similar and are found in similar places, with only a slight difference in the letters of the name. Udefrykte is a reference to Grendel from the Beowulf legend.

Udir... udir... some freak

  • The artifact the Warden from the main quest in Morrowind returns. However, unlike in Morrowind, it can be used without the Spectral Guardian and any side effects.

  • The Balmora Blue potion, featured in the Thieves Guild quest, is named after the city of Balmora from Morrowind.

  • If you fail the persuasion check during your first conversation with Nelacar in the "Azura's Star" quest, he says: "Ah, tell me again about the Argonian Maid and the lustful Baron." This is a reference to a book from The [Elder Scrolls](/games?search=Elder Scrolls) series: The Lusty Argonian Maid. This book can also be found in Skyrim, just easily missed among the burned and destroyed books in Helgi's room and the barracks in Riften. There is also another part of 'The Lusty Argonian Maid' that can be read in the game.

It has been legendary for generations of scrolls

  • The bar in the "Grey Quarters" of Windhelm is called "New Gnisis Corner Club," named after the city of Gnisis from Morrowind and the habit of the Dunmer to call taverns "Corner Club." Local Nords refer to them. By the way, there was no "Corner Club" in Gnisis.

[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion](/games?search=The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)

  • Lucien Lachance returns in Skyrim in the form of a spirit when you acquire the skill "Summon Spectral Assassin."

Lucien can make several references to the Oblivion storyline, especially regarding the Dark Brotherhood questline. These include mention of the death of Uriel Septim VII, the story of Mathieu Bellamont, and mention of the "purification" of the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary during the
