Hello. Any news from the other provinces?

Quick update:
While I have been working on two TES Detective videos for quite awhile now, one of which is huge - Oblivion Remastered has caught me off guard as I return from my first holiday in 2 years and prepare to move house. (shadow drops are cool and all but plz ma god gimme some warning next time Bethesda).

Anyway, I love Oblivion but never made any guides or really made much content in the game at all.

Well, with the Remaster, Oblivion will never be more relevant than it is right now. If there is ever a time to go deep and hard into Oblivion content it's now.

So, that's just what I'm going to do. For now those aforementioned TES Detective videos will have to take a back seat for a minute while we all enjoy the surprise that is the beautiful Oblivion Remastered.

With that said, what kind of videos do you want to see? I've got a million videos planned, but I'm keen to hear what you want.

Thank you to everyone who joined for stream today, was lovely to see everyone! For those that were there for the search for the sunken crate at the edge of the ocean - I've got good news. Found it in both OG and Remastered Oblivion. I told you I'd find it :)

I'll have to apologise for not uploading anything good in so long. While I have been working on the same video for about 8 months, I've moved house twice and had a heart attack in that time, which didn't help speed up the process. I'll likely be moving again in the next few months which won't help either.

However on top of that, for this video we need to know what all of the written languages are within The Elder Scrolls. Seems simple enough right? Well sadly, the written languages are not well catalogued on any information database (Wikis, UESP, Imperial Library, etc etc). In total they have about 8 listed. Purely through digging around lore pages I kept uncovering more and more languages within the lore that are not listed anywhere. So far I've found about 20 additional languages with about 50 or so examples of unknown languages.

Because of this, I figured the best way to find ALL of the written languages was to just read through absolutely everything. Which while true, it definitely is the best way to find everything, it is also unbearably time consuming and mind numbing. Going through all of the mainline Elder Scrolls titles isn't too bad, but The Elder Scrolls Online is an absolute treasure trove of information. Just about every item in the game has some flavour text. But there are about 50 item categories, which are broken down into zones/DLCs, each of which has about 120 entries per zone per category. Even just the Motifs that I'm reading through now, while there is only 130 or so of them, collectively they have a word count of around 100,000.

I've copied everything I've read so far and the word count is sitting at over 2.7 million words that I've scoured through looking for 'new' written languages hidden away.

In the end it will be worth it, but as it stands right this second, I'm as ready for a new video as you are, trust me.

See if you can name the 5 languages in the 5 images.

The servers for the Elder Scrolls Legends are being taken offline FOREVER on the 31st of Jan 2025 (2-3 days from right now). Given the game is canon within the lore, this is our last chance to experience and record it all for future use. Come join on Twitch now - www.twitch.tv/camelworks

TLDR: I had an actual heart attack for 16 hours, it wasn’t my doing and I’m absolutely fine.

I’m not one for posting personal stuff BUT if anyone gets a whiff of what happened without full context it could sound pretty whacky or alarming. So here’s the full and mostly uninteresting story of how this apparently perfect 32 year old specimen (doctor’s words, not mine) had a heart attack.

On Wednesday night I was putting up some lights in the kitchen and dining room. Once I got the kitchen set up I started feeling a bit off. I was light headed and felt like someone was bear hugging me. I had to put some effort into taking a full breath. I called it quits and didn’t finish putting the lights up in the dining room (another job unfinished, typical).

I jumped in the shower for a lukewarm warm wash to calm me down, but was becoming a little dizzy, but pushed through. Once out of the shower as I was bending to dry my feet, the head spinning was getting pretty gnarly. I was overcome with cold sweats and basically had to dry myself again. I didn’t want to bend down anymore so opted for the fan drying experience. That’s a fan that blows air btw, and not a fan of my content drying me off.

I went and flopped onto my bed with the fan on max. I had some pins and needles and felt a little faint. I wasn’t in any pain but I felt rather off. I googled “tight chest” and everything was either panic attack or heart attack, which OBVIOUSLY it wasn’t a heart attack, right?

Having never had a panic attack before, I figured this unfamiliar sensation was that. I did all of the ‘deep breathes’ remedies for a panic attack, which didn’t help at all. Funny that. Also why would I be having a panic attack? The lights in the kitchen looked great.

Maybe I had an infection, maybe I had low blood sugar? Dehydrated? I took some pain killers, ate some food, drank some water and figured I’d sleep off what ever this was.

Come about 7am Thursday morning and a whole night of shitty sleep. The tight chest had turned to every full breath hurt. On a scale of 1-10 of ‘I need medical assistance’ it was probably a 2 or a 3. BUT I was reminded of my good friend George @0period who had a chest pain, got it checked out and thank god he did, as it was cancer causing his chest pain (which he has talked about publicly, and from which he has fully recovered and is fine and dandy.. and very handsome).

So I thought ahhh fine, just in the off chance it’s a George situation I’ll go to the emergency room. So up I went.

I arrived at about 7:30am. There were about 20 people in the waiting room. I went to the front desk and gave them my symptoms, sat down and the next name called was mine (I guess describing the symptoms of a heart attack lets you jump the queue). The nurse took me into a room, extracted a whole bunch of my blood and took my blood pressure. Then they took it again. Looking bemused they took it again on the other arm. Then they asked me to go back to the waiting room.

The second my ass hit the seat a doctor (or trainee, not sure what his role was but he was dressed differently to the nurses, his name is Christian) came out and called my name. He took me into a room and looked me up and down, poked and prodded, asked a million questions. I told him I felt okayish, and the primary ongoing symptom was that it hurt to breathe all the way in, like someone was standing on my chest. I explained how I didn’t feel deathly but also didn’t want to be that dude that doesn’t feel deathly and just dies at home randomly, hence me coming into emergency. He said I looked a lot worse than how I described I was feeling. He got my chest x-rayed to look for an infection near the heart, and asked me to wait in the waiting room until the blood work came back. He also said if I started feeling any worse to let a nurse know immediately.

After sitting in the waiting room for about 5 minutes boy oh boy did I start feeling worse. Nauseous, head spinning, cold sweats. I let the nurse known and she sat me down, gave me some water, took my blood pressure and said something in medical lingo ( you know like “his OMB is under the PLS limit”, some shit like that) to another nurse with an alarmed tone in her voice that made the other nurses stand up.

They put me in a wheel chair and wheeled me into some back room full of arm chairs and people with IV drips. They hooked me up to an IV and Christian reappeared. He put me onto a blood pressure machine and said “I thought you looked worse than you felt. Remember you said you didn’t want to be that guy that dies randomly at home, well I am very glad you came in. You’re going to be staying the night so cancel any plans you have”. He and the nurse sat there waiting for my blood pressure result and then he said “his blood pressure is 70/45, let’s get him to the resuscitation unit immediately”. Not at all ominous 😂

In all honesty I wasn’t worried because if anything were to go wrong I’d be in the exact spot I needed to be. On top of that for the most part I felt pretty okay. Breathing was a bit of a struggle and hurt a bit, but meh.

SO I get zoomed to the RESUSCITATION UNIT, which my ADHD fantasy brain had me expecting to meet with a coven of necromancers. But no, there was Christian, about 12 nurses, doctors zipping in and out introducing themselves and giving me pills, needles, more IV bags, pain killers, antibiotics, anti inflammatories, the whole alchemy shop.

I’m certain Dracula was in the building because I’m pretty sure they took 80% of the blood in my body. They gave me an ultrasound which showed absolutely nothing amiss. A crack team of cardiologists came down and performed an echocardiogram, which as far as I can tell is like a super specific high res ultrasound for the heart. I asked “can you see anything interesting”?The head cardiologist replied “Your heart looks worryingly perfect. There is something very wrong and it’s not showing”.

The x-ray showed nothing
The ultra sound showed nothing
The echocardiogram showed nothing
Bloodwork was perfect

I had half the cardiologists in Sydney standing around me in the resuscitation unit scratching their heads.

So the next step was to undergo an angiogram. I signed 50 piece of paper and Christian said “I can’t come with you, so this is probably the last time I’ll see you” and gave me a fist bump, before I was hurriedly carted away to the Theatre of Blood (I made that name up) where the angiogram would take place.

This is a procedure in which they enter the body via either the artery in the wrist or groin, release some kind of dye that shows up on X-rays and will give them a full view of my circulatory system. Thank the gods they went in via the artery in the wrist as I’ll explain later.

Within In minutes they could see my entire right carotid artery was 100% blocked. The medical report actually says “100% blocked”. They put a stent in which immediately alleviated all of my troubles. I had no chest pain, I could breathe fully, it was instant relief (and remains so). It was a success. I went from heart attack to feeling 100% healthy in a literal second.

The rest of my stay in the hospital was very boring. It was literally just 4 days of monitoring. The second the stent went in I felt healthier than ever. I did not feel like I needed to be bed bound - therefor having to lie down for 4 days was Ssssoooooo booorrriinnggg.
