Amazing stuff! Make sure you watch it in 1080p!

EDIT: There is also new in-game footage in this, FYI.

This was a nice video. I've always thought about the voice actors, about how they can grasp the feeling of the world. Perhaps they have a short Elder Scrolls education. :)

Holy cow! Those voices. They are incredible (of course the music is too, but we kinda already knew that)
I especially like the guy speaking of the war. He has a cool voice.

You can pause at 5:32, theres some info about the affairs between Thalmor and the Empire in the actors text.

Here's the relevant lines of dialogue:
Spoiler:
(Player asks about the White-Gold Concordat)

The Great War...only thirty years past and already ancient history to most people. Seems to me like it just ended...I'ts never really ended for me.

But to answer your question, the White-Gold Concordat was the fancy name they put on the peace treaty between the Empire and the Thalmor. I ended the war and saved the Empire to fight another day. Also trampled on the sacred name of Talos, and gave the Thalmor free reign to stamp out Talos worship throughout the Empire.

He's talking about Chris Plummer's character: Arngeir, that's a Greybeard elder (obviously look at his beard xD)

I actually think that guy looks like Ezio from Revelations. The beard, robes, general oldness. Yeah...

For a minute there I thought they where the stormcloaks , man I need an education.

But seriously the variety of different accents and unique character voices in the game will give it depth.

This has nothing to do with the above video, but someone took the Game of Thrones TV theme song and put it over top of one of the Bethesda teaser videos.. it actually works quite well with a lot of the flow of the video:
