Nightmare Fuel / THLMR

• Episode 3 begins with a pair of Altmer filling a mass grave with corpses in bags, set to a triumphant Aldmeri song. As the corpses pile up, blocking sight of anything else, the viewer is left unable to see anything other than an arm visible through a tear in a bag... until a zombie grabs the arm and begins eating it, while more zombified hands reach out towards the viewer. The video then cuts to a mysterious figure approaching, revealed to be Mannimarco reborn.
  • The implication that Mannimarco is in league with the Thalmor is chilling. Given the Thalmor's cutthroat methods and genocidal tendencies, they're likely to give Mannimarco all the corpses he could ever want for his own ends. Whatever the Thalmor are getting in exchange can't be good, either.
• The cozy tavern atmosphere, crude humor and lighthearted lore discussions of Episode 4 are abruptly cut short with the revelation that the Thalmor have rebuilt Numidium, and it's bearing down on Sentinel. The towering mecha destroys the city simply by walking through it, without even breaking its stride.
  • Worse still, the Thalmor create an even larger mecha out of Crystal-Like-Law and Alinor. This new mecha stands tall enough that its eyes peak above the very atmosphere of Nirn. When the sun rises, the mecha is heated to the point of boiling the ocean around it, using the energy to supercharge the new Numidium.
  • A supplemental video reveals just why the Thalmor are maneuvering their Numidium through Hammerfell; they're preparing to use it against the Adamantine Tower on Balfiera, one of the last functioning metaphysical towers propping up creation.
