Get Caught Up On Elder Scrolls Lore In Under Two Minutes

Like almost everyone else here at the office, I'm currently in the middle of a love affair with Skyrim. It's my favorite game of 2011, and I can't seem to tear myself away from it. Despite this, I really don't know much about the world and history of Tamriel. Plenty of books have tried to teach me these things, but I usually close them as soon as I realize they don't give me a skill bonus. Thanks to YouTube user lore, you can now get (sort-of) caught up in a minute and 49 seconds.

While I still don't know the ins and outs of what's going on in the Elder Scrolls universe, I now have some events to vaguely connect with those names I keep seeing during load screens.
