  • The Greybeards of High Hrothgar are often regarded as some of Skyrim's most beloved characters, however today we delve into a plethora of Elder Scrolls information that suggests they were an even bigger influence than we realized.

    The fact that Jurgen Windcaller is in Sovngarde means he's a follower of Shor, not the Daedric Princes. I'd say that 17 is an important number in TES, but not necessarily related to the Daedra in Jurgen's case. The Daedric writing on his tomb is probably a bit of respect to the Chimer who defeated him at Red Mountain, thus leading him to the Way of the Voice, since the Chimer and later Dunmer use Daedric script.
    The line about Proudhome existing before the Tapestry makes me wonder if it's one of the Towers, like Adamantine, White-Gold, Red Mountain, and the Throat of the World. Each in its own way is sacred to Akatosh/Alkosh/Auri-el (although Red Mountain was a stronghold of the Dwemer and Chimer, it was also the place that brought Jurgen to his Way of the Voice), and each has strong associations with a Tongue, if not a Dragonborn.
    The fact that each potential Dragonborn is called a king in some way may be related to the Covenant of Alessia, which specified that the true ruler of the Empire would always be Dragonborn, and that so long as they wore the Amulet of Kings, the Veil would always be a measure of protection between Nirn and Oblivion (until Martin Septim's sacrifice made the Veil permanent without the Amulet). Belharza, Reman Cyrodiil, Tiber Septim, and Martin Septim were all explicitly Dragonborn, even if none of them were around with dying dragons to be witnesses taking souls. It makes me wonder if Akatosh wanted some others like Ja'Darri and the Tosh Raka to be Emperor of Nirn, but those darn ignorant mortals didn't quite understand his intentions. (Also, implications for post-Skyrim, given that Titus Mede is old, unpopular, and without an official heir; and the Mede dynasty is considered by many to be illegitimate.)

A strong argument can be made that Akatosh did not exist before the 3rd century of the 1st era when Alessia created the imperial pantheon which incorporated both elven and human deities as well as ones they shared. Shor was left out and Auri-el became Akatosh who was much more sympathetic to humans. This was done to accommodate the diverse peoples of the new empire. But Auri-el fought in the first war against the people who would become humans and Shor was on the other side and fought against those who would become the elven peoples.

    24:00 Technically, High Hrothgar might've been built by either ancient Proto-Nords - those who according to legends were "created" by Shor and Kyne right there, on the top of the Throat of the World, and later moved to Atmora to become atmorans; or by Shor himself. That script might be Atmoran language.
    Speaking of Proto-Nords who lived in Skyrim before moving to Atmora, it was also them who had probably built the Skyforge, before the snow elves took over those territories. Because one of forms of Kyne, a goddess Proto-Nords worshipped more than any other god apart from Shor, is an eagle (or a bird of prey in general) which neatly explains its bird-themed architecture.

    At the end of each kappa, alduin returns to reap the world and allow the seeding of new life.
    Also Akatosh is a stickler for history repeating itself. Remnants of a previous dragon break make sense to explain why the khajiits have the same story and symbolism. Just look at the pantheons between races, the are like distorted mirrors.
    So too is this story. The end of a kappa began for the khajiits, and they stalled or stopped it for a time, or perhaps simply altered how the Kappa ended.
    Now in skyrim, the kappa yet again nears its end. alduin returns by the throat of the world, raises his army of destruction and is “slain” by the dragonborn. And so the kappa... continues? Ends? Changes?
    How long before histories strands unravel?

      The LDB wasn't stopping the Kalpic cycle. They were *resetting* it. Alduin had abandoned his destiny and began dominating Man, eventually seeking dominion over the entirety of Tamriel and probably Nirn. This was a problem for obvious reasons, since Alduin is the end of time and all that (like how Anui-El is the beginning of time and Akatosh is the present time).
      Since TES reportedly goes on into the 9th Era if you take MK's writings as canon, the Kalpa wasn't supposed to reset in the 4th. The Dragonborn was making sure that when it happens Alduin fulfills his duty instead of seeking domination over the world again.

    It's worth noting that when the Greybeards grant you their knowledge of Shouts, they use the same visuals as when you absorb a Dragon Soul. It's possible that when we return the horn to Jurgen's sarcophagus, we receive _his_ knowledge- just represented as a Dragon Soul for gameplay convenience

    I believe the deadric runes on the sarcophagus are some sort of "tome" that protect his body and soul from the daedra, so that no one could use him in death or raise him from the dead, and the dragon soul you get from the easter egg is mearly his knowledge of the dragon tounge as the greybeards do the same when teaching you. I do also think that he was dragonborn, but kept that to himself.

And so they flock to his reincarnations like flies to honey.
