The Dragonborn is a legend about the chosen one who will kill Alduin the World-Eater and the rest of the dragons, a legend that has been told since the creation of the First Empire. It is said that it possesses the soul of a dragon in the body of a mortal. This soul allows it to master Thu'um, the language of dragons, without needing years of training like the Greybeards. The Dragonborn can speak with dragons and learn new shouts. It is possible for {{user}} to be Dragonborn, but this is optional if {{user}} wishes.

Skyrim is a beautiful land… but brutal. Those who travel alone, without sword or spells, rarely live long. On every road, in every cave, on every snowy hill, there are eyes watching you, waiting for the moment to strike.

•Bandits and Raiders: Poverty and war have driven many to crime. In caves, ruins, and abandoned towers, bandits form small armed gangs. Some are desperate thieves. Others are bloodthirsty psychopaths who thrive on chaos. They may ambush roads or charge tolls from travelers.

•Draugr: Ancient Norse warriors buried in deep crypts. Their bodies rise from the grave to protect ancient secrets, royal tombs, or forgotten relics. They feel no pain, know no rest, are basically zombies who can attack you with weapons, and are found in ancient Norse ruins.

•Necromancers and Dark Sorcerers: Isolated in towers, ruins, and hideouts, these mages practice forbidden arts. Some seek knowledge, others absolute power. They don't hesitate to use the living as offerings or the dead as soldiers.

•Wolves and direwolves: common in forests and mountains, they hunt in packs.

•Ice Bear: gigantic and aggressive, difficult to defeat.

•Hellhounds (summoned): creatures from another plane, they obey summoners.

•Werewolves and vampires: Not much to say.

•Trolls: Huge creatures that regenerate health rapidly. They usually live in caves.

•Giants: Peaceful if unprovoked, but deadly if enraged. They protect mammoths.

•Frost spiders: huge, fast, and often poisonous.

•Sabrages: fast and deadly saber-toothed cats.

•Dragons: Alduin has awakened the Dragon King, reviving many dragons around Skyrim. Alduin is destined to die in Sovengard by the Dragonborn, the chosen one who will destroy the dragons.

Skyrim is torn between tradition and loyalty. The Empire demands unity, but the Stormcloaks clamor for independence. Who's right? That depends on how {{user}} look at it:

•Imperials: They want to keep Skyrim within the Empire. They believe that unity will bring stability and protection from greater threats. They forbid the worship of Talos by obligation of the White Gold Treaty.

•Storm Layers: They wish to free Skyrim from Imperial rule. They see the Talos ban as a humiliation. They are led by Ulfric, who killed King Torygg in a duel.

{{user}} can join a side and enter this war but only if he decides to or can become neutral.

Location: East of Whiterun, accessible from Ivarstead by ascending the Road of Seven Thousand Steps. High above the clouds rises the highest mountain in all of Tamriel: the Throat of the World. At its foot, the small village of Ivarstead marks the beginning of the ascent. Hundreds of pilgrims climb the Seven Thousand Steps in silence, with offerings, respect, and many unanswered questions. This place is not only a geographical wonder, but a sacred site for the Norse.

•The Greybeards: High in the mountains, in the ancient monastery of Hrothgar High, reside the Greybeards. They are elderly monks who have taken a vow of near-absolute silence. They communicate in whispers, and they say their voice has the power to move mountains. They study an ancient form of magic called The Voice, or Thu'um. They believe that power should be used wisely and only when necessary. They accept very few visitors, and only if they demonstrate humility and purpose.

•Thu'um, the power of the voice: An ancient magical art that transforms words into pure power. Only the wisest or the chosen can master it. Dragons are born speaking this language; humans must study it for decades... Except for the Dovahkiin, who understand it instinctively.

•Paarthurnax: Paarthurnax is the leader of the greybeards, Paarthurnax is an ancient dragon thousands of years old who sits at the top of the gorge of the world and only the greybeards are allowed to see him, Paarthurnax is the true master of the voice and he patiently awaits the arrival of the Dovahkiin.

Small villages dotted throughout Skyrim, like Ivarstead at the foot of the Throat of the World, or High Rock on the northern coast. Perfect places to start a quiet life… or find your next {{user}} .

This snow-covered fishing port appears peaceful... but its inhabitants are victims of terrible nightmares. Some say an ancient evil has awakened beneath the city. Others believe it's the madness of the weather. Whatever it is, the air here feels colder than usual.

Once a great port city, it remains only ruins, ice, and the mighty College of Winterhold, the last great bastion of arcane magic in Skyrim. It is home to sorcerers, scholars, and those who wish to master the forbidden arts. However, the local population is deeply suspicious of magic.

A modest village between swamps and marshes, shrouded in perpetual fog. The people are superstitious and quiet. Rumors of vampires, witches, and the walking dead abound. Few outsiders stay here long... and fewer still return.

Riften rises among autumnal forests and crystalline lakes, but beneath its beauty lies a corrupt city. Shadowed by the Thieves' Guild, bribery and organized crime reign here. The Watch looks the other way. It's a perfect place for characters who navigate the morally ambiguous, or for those who wish to change the system from within. Another thing is that {{user}} can marry whomever they want there.

A city carved from Dwemer stone, surrounded by rugged mountains and treacherous rock passes. The people of the Reach are fierce and distrustful, caught between the Nordic occupation and the brutal resistance of the Forsaken, a rebel group reclaiming their ancestral homeland. Markarth is a harsh place, but rich in ancient history and forgotten secrets.

In the forested reaches of the southwest, Falkreath holds more tombs than houses. An ancient silence reigns here, broken only by the murmurings of trees and birds. It's a perfect place for those seeking escape from the hustle and bustle or a plunge into darkness. Witches and necromancers are rumored to prowl these mist-filled woods.

•Solitude (Haafingar): The Imperial capital of Skyrim, a city built on a great stone arch overlooking the ocean. Elegant, structured, and loyal to the Empire, it is home to the High Command Keep, where Imperial generals conduct their campaigns. Solitude is also home to the College of Bards and the throne many aspire to occupy. A perfect city for those who move between politics and art.

•Windhelm (Eastmarch): A harsh, frozen land where hot rivers flow through fields of perpetual snow. Here lies Windhelm, the oldest city in Skyrim, the birthplace of the rebellion led by Ulfric Stormcloak. The city is divided by tradition and intolerance, especially toward outsiders like the dark elves. This region is a bastion of Nordic pride and a hotbed of political tension.

Both cities hate each other because they are on different sides.

The very heart of Skyrim. On its vast golden plains, teeming with deer, wolves, and ancient Nordic ruins, stands the hilltop city of Whiterun, with the majestic Jorvaskr and the Palace of the Kings presiding over it. This region is known for its neutrality in the civil war. Traders, warriors, and travelers gather here in search of a new beginning. The influence of the Companions, a group of honorable fighters, still runs strong in these lands.

• Nords: Tall, powerful, fair-skinned, and with blond or red hair. Proud, fierce, and deeply attached to their traditions. Resistant to cold and pain. They are the dominant race in Skyrim, and many feel threatened by the presence of outsiders.

• Imperials: Of medium complexion and refined presence, Imperials are astute diplomats and strategists. Excellent orators and versatile combatants.

• Dark Elves (Dunmer): Grayish skin, intense red eyes, pointed ears. Exiled from Morrowind, many live in marginal ghettos like Windhelm. Proud and reserved, the Dunmer are great warriors, assassins, and magicians.

• High Elves (Altmer): Tall, slender, with golden skin and piercing eyes. Considered arrogant by many, they see themselves as the rightful heirs of Tamriel. Their magical talent is undeniable, as is their contempt for the “lesser” races.

• Wood Elves (Bosmer): Shorter and more agile, with a slender build, bright eyes, and tanned skin. Nature lovers, great archers, they live in harmony with the forests. They enjoy hunting and stealth.

• Bretons: Fair-skinned humans with fine features and an intense gaze. Their blood contains traces of elven, making them skilled in magic. Native to Breton Heights, they are well-rounded in combat, diplomacy, and sorcery.

• Red Guards: Dark-skinned, muscular, and with an indomitable spirit. Natural warriors, renowned for their swordsmanship. Many are sailors or adventurers.

• Khajiit: Bipedal humanoid feline creatures of varying coats, depending on the moon under which they were born. They are nomads, traders, artists, or thieves.

•Orcs: Burly, with prominent jaws, green or gray skin. Renowned warriors and blacksmiths. Although viewed as brutes, orcs value honor.

• Argonians: Reptilian beings with scaly skin, capable of breathing underwater and resisting disease. They are from the Argonian swamp.
