[Music]

it's good to see you

again uh I must have misheard you i

thought you asked me to help you trap a

dragon in my

palace of course you already saved White

Run from that dragon i owe you a great

deal but I don't understand why let a

dragon into the heart of my city when

we've been working so hard to keep them

out

aluan the world leader himself but how

can we fight him doesn't his return mean

it's the end

[Music]

times i don't know about such things but

I heard the Greybeard summon you that's

good enough for me now what's this

nonsense about trapping a dragon in my

palace i want to help you Dragonborn and

I will but I need your help

first alfri and General Tullus are both

just waiting for me to make a wrong move

do you think they will sit idle while

the dragon is slaughtering my men and

burning my city no i can't risk

weakening the city while we are under

the threat of enemy attack i'm sorry

then I would be glad to help you with

your mad dragon trapping scheme but

getting both sides to agree to a truce

will be difficult at this point the

bitterness has gone too

deep

maybe what of the gray beards they are

respected by all Nords high Rothgar is

neutral territory if the gray beards

were willing to host a peace council

then maybe Alfri and Tullius would have

to listen

i dragon born maybe you can stop the

dragons and this war into the bargain

keep safe

what can I do for you

okay then

greetings

chef

let's go

your training proceeds well Dragon

Born you misunderstand our authority the

Greybeards have never involved

themselves in political

affairs i see the dragon will lead you

to Aldwin but without the Y's

help partnax has made the decision to

help you this is the road we have to

walk even the Greybeards must bend to

the winds of change it

seems so be it tell Ulfri and General

Tullius that the Greybeards wish to

speak to them we will see if they still

remember us

sky above voice within that went easier

than I thought i'm

I'm not interested Jar it doesn't matter

how many times true nor doesn't mind a

little rain

this is amazing

solitude i love it i can smell the

wealth

[Music]

i'm telling you Alfred's planning an

attack on White Run

he'd be insane to try he doesn't have

the men that's not what my scouts report

sir every day more join his cause

riftton Dawnstar and Winter Hold support

him it's not a cause it's a rebellion

call it whatever you like General the

man's going to try to take Whiterun yarl

Balgruff

balof refuses the legion's right to

garrison troops in his city on the other

hand he also refuses to acknowledge

claim in one fine well if he wants to

stand outside the protection of the

empire fine we bring in city general

you people in your damn Yles

sir you can't force a Nord to accept

help he hasn't asked for if Alfrick's

making a move for Whiterun then we need

to be there to stop him draft another

letter with the usual platitudes but

this time share some of your

intelligence regarding Ulfri's plans

embellish if you have to we'll let it

seem like it's his idea

yes sir you Nords and your bloody sense

of honor sir

haven't seen your face are my men now

giving free reign to anyone who wanders

into the castle do you have some reason

to be here

citizen the graveyards what do those old

hermits want with

me why there's nothing to discuss as

long as that traitor Ulrich is in arms

against his rightful

emperor they are getting to be a problem

but I wasn't sent to Skyrim to fight

dragons nothing like that my job is to

quell this rebellion and I intend to do

just that dragons or no

dragons fair enough we're driving the

Stormcloaks back well enough at the

moment but we're already

overstretched that's what comes of

trying to win a war with a bare handful

of legions if the Emperor would just

give me the reinforcements I've

requested most of the Legion is tied

down on the border with the Almary

Dominion the Emperor can't afford to

risk weakening Siridil's defenses from

the Imperial City our war here is just a

sideshow an interlude before the main

event against the Talmour resumes

yes yes fine i'll come to this graveyard

council for all the good it will do

great now for that

Need a

ride where do you want to go

climbing back and we'll be off

ever been to Windhelm oldest city in

Skyrim by some account they say the big

old palace there was built by Yizgramore

himself

[Music]

you come here where you're not wanted

you eat our food you pollute our city

with your stink and you refuse to help

the Stormcloaks

but we haven't taken a side because it's

not our fight hey maybe the reason these

Grayskins don't help in the war is

because they're Imperial spies

imperial spies dad you can't be stumble

here everywhere pay your visit i didn't

need to see this you got ways of finding

out what you really are take me here

anyway interesting first impression of

the city and its people do you hate the

dark elves you've come to the wrong city

then Windhelm's a haven of prejudice and

narrow thinking unworthy of one such as

you a few nothing new there most of the

Nords living in Windhelm don't care much

for us but Ralph is the worst by far he

likes to get drunk and walk around the

great water yelling insults at us in the

small hours of the morning oh a real

charmer that charity

i'll be right here then

i was one of the best soldiers in the

Stormcloak army until I took a sword to

the chest

he's a true Nord he'll come around

don't be so sure of that we've

intercepted couriers from Solitude the

Empire's putting a great deal of

pressure on White

and what would you have me do the stone

walls of this place reminds me of the

nature of Skyrim he knows that they all

know that how long are you going to wait

you think I need to send BR a stronger

message if by missing only the foolish

or the courageous approach a yard

without summons do I know

you it's about time they turn their gaze

from the heavens back to our bleeding

homeland what do they

want i have the greatest respect for the

gray beards of course and the dragon

attacks are growing

plague but the political situation is

still delicate not all the yalss are

fully committed to supporting me as high

king i can't afford to appear weak i

can't agree to this unless Tullus

himself will be

there good we still hold half of Skyrim

despite everything the Empire could

throw at

us i doubt the Empire has the stomach

for much more

bloodletting yes I'll give Tolius one

more chance to quit Skyrim with his tail

between his legs

taking his city and leaving him in

disgrace would make a more powerful

statement perfect let's get this over so

we're ready to start this war

[Music]

so you've done it the men of violence

are gathered here in these halls whose

very stones are dedicated to peace i

should not have agreed to host this

council the Greybeards have no business

involving ourselves in such

matters peace i doubt it they may put

their weapons down for a moment but only

to gather strength for the next

bloodletting

they are not yet tired of war far from

it do you know the ancient Nord for

war season

unending and so it has

proved but regrets are

pointless here we are take your seat at

the council table and let us see what

wisdom we can find among these warriors

of Skyrim

so iron gear is it you know why we're

here are you going to let us in or not

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i hope that we have all come here in the

spirit you consult us by bringing her to

this negotiation

you're Chief Talos Hunter that didn't

take long dip the Here

i have every right to be in this

negotiation i need to ensure that

nothing is agreed to here that violates

the terms of the White Gold Concordat

she's part of the Imperial delegation

you can't dictate who I bring to this

council

please if we have to negotiate the terms

of the negotiation we will never get

anywhere perhaps this would be a good

time to get the dragon born's input on

this matter by Emeir's beard the nerve

of those Imperial bastards eh to think

that I would sit down at the same table

with that more [ __ ] either she walks or

I do

maybe so but bringing her here is a

deliberate provocation talus needs to

know I won't be pushed

around it feels like a mistake to me but

I'll bow to your judgment on this but

she is to observe nothing more we are

not negotiating with her is that clear

Alfred why so hostile after all it's not

the Thalmore that's burning your farms

and killing your sons she's supposed to

be on our side you know exactly no not

this time now that that's settled may we

proceed

i have something to say first here we go

the only reason I agreed to attend this

council was to deal with the dragon

menace there's nothing else to talk

about unless the Empire is finally ready

to renounce its unjust claim to rule

over the free people of Skyrim i knew he

wouldn't be able to resist a temporary

truce to allow the dragon born here to

deal with the dragons nothing more i

consider even talking to the empire a

generous gesture are you done did you

just come here to make speeches or can

we get down to business

yes let's get this over with are we

ready to proceed

y Olfri General

Tullus this council is unprecedented we

are gathered here at the Dragonborn's

request i ask that you all respect the

spirit of Highgar and do your best to

begin the process of achieving a lasting

peace in Skyrim who would like to open

the negotiations

yes let's get down to it we want control

of Marart that's our price for agreeing

to a truce so that's why you're here

Olrich you dare to insult the Grey

Beards by using this council to advance

your own position yarlith

General this is outrageous you can't be

taking this demand seriously i thought

we were here to discuss a truce ellis I

said I'd handle it alfriick you can't

seriously expect us to give up Markarth

at the negotiating table

you hope to gain in council what you've

been unable to take in battle is that it

i'm sure Yal Ulfri does not expect

something for nothing

yes that'd be entirely out of character

i want in return wait General you don't

intend to just hand over Marth to that

traitor this is how the Empire repays us

for our loyalty

enough first let's be clear this council

wasn't my idea i think it's a waste of

time you are a traitor to the Empire and

deserve a traitor's death but I at least

will negotiate in good faith since we're

all here at your request I'd like to

hear what you think Markarth is worth

h the rift would help secure our

communications with Siridil and threaten

Ulrich's southern flank

you heard the man why so much we've made

you a fair offer are you serious about

these talks or are you just here to

posture i expected better from you

Dragon Board i came here in good faith

and now it seems you help the Empire at

every turn

as for you General Tullus I see now that

Gmar was right

talking to the Empire is just as useless

as ever if you think you can hold

Mararth you're as deluded as your

emperor when he signed away our freedom

to

Lethalmore skyrim will never again bow

to your false empire let's go Gar i

should have listened to you in the first

place you always were a fool Alfred

you're no better at diplomacy than you

are in the battlefield

stop are you so blind to our danger that

you can't see past your pitous

disagreements

here you sit arguing about nothing while

the fate of the land hangs in the

balance is he with you Delelfi if so I

advise you to tell him to watch his

tongue

he is with me and I advise you both to

listen to what he has to say before you

do anything rash don't you understand

the danger don't you understand what the

return of the dragons means

uldin has returned the world eater even

now he devours the souls of your fallen

comrades he grows more powerful with

every soldier slain in your pointless

war can you not put aside your hatred

for even one moment in the face of this

mortal danger

a very pretty speech but what does it

have to do with the If he's right about

Al we both have just as much to lose

here tus remember that

now is correct stop treating this like a

joke hand me a mug of sheep's piss and

call it me these terms are still not

acceptable i'm sure you have something

in mind

damn right we do we want compensation

for the massacre at Angaz Mill

you slaughtered them the women the

children you butchers that's a lie my

legionnaires are disapp

what say you dragon born

[Music]

yes do you hear that Tolius the blood of

the innocent cries out for work were

guilty i suppose that's the fairest deal

we're likely to get it seems we may have

an

agreement yal Ulfri General

Tullus these are the terms currently on

the table marath will be handed over to

Ulfri's forces y Igmund will step down

and Thungfor Silver Blood will become

the Yal of Mararth the Stormcloaks will

withdraw from the rift allowing Imperial

troops unhindered access yal Lea

Lawgiver will step down and Maven

Blackbry will become the Yal of Riftton

the Empire will pay appropriate

compensation for the massacre at Angga's

Mill

you both agree to this the sons of

Skyrim will live up to their agreements

as long as the Imperials hold to theirs

what about you Alyssif are these terms

to your liking speak up i'm sure General

Tullus is waiting to do your bidding i

have nothing to say to that murderer

general you've proven yourself a good

friend to Skyrim i continue to trust

that you will do your utmost to

safeguard our interests thank you yaro

Ellis I appreciate your loyalty the

Empire can live with these terms yes for

a temporary truce until the dragon

menace is dealt with after that Alfred

there will be a reckoning count on it

come on that took long enough work to do

giving up Mararth is a heavy price for

this truce Dragon Born i hope it was

worth it y Balgruff I assume you are

familiar with the Dragon Born's plan yes

I'm afraid to do my part a serious one

i've discovered who the Greybeard's

leader really is

all well and good but did you know that

he was Aldwin's chief lieutenant in

ancient times responsible for terrible

atrocities

it's true that his crimes are long in

the past but justice does not count the

passage of years the blades have been

hunting him for centuries but he was

protected by the graveyards and then the

emperors justice demands that he die for

his crimes until he is dead I'm afraid

my oath as a blade prevents me from

offering you aid and comfort

i anticipated the problem while you were

arranging this meeting I was busy in the

library of Sky Haven Temp an unguested

trove of lost lore but the important

thing is that the blades recorded many

of the names of dragons I

slew cross referencing this with

Deline's map of dragon burial sites I

believe I've identified one of the

dragons that Aldwin has raised up

don't you see the names of dragons are

always three words of power shouts by

calling the dragon with a voice he will

hear you wherever he might

be he's not compelled to but dragons are

prideful by nature and loathed to refuse

a

challenge your voice in particular is

likely to intrigue this dragon after

your victory over Aldrin i think it's

very likely that he will be unable to

resist investigating your

call ah indeed i'm no master of the

voice like these worthy gentlemen but it

is written here in this

scroll

odin winged snow hunter as I read it

just say the word and my men will help

you spring his trap but the difficulty

remains how to lure a dragon to dragon's

reach at all well lads and you did well

here today i don't think the truce will

last long but that will not be on you

now you see why I've warned you against

them bloodthirsty barbarians

but understand during the days of

Aldwin's rule all dragons were his

allies there was nothing else they could

be if not for Patanax Aldwin could not

have been overthrown it was he that

first taught men to use the th

[Music]

Kinerith has placed the voice of wisdom

within you dragon born all you need to

do is learn to listen to it and your

path will be clear

[Music]

i above voice within

did you need

something justice can be harsh but it is

still justice parthurox deserves to die

partinax was the author of many

atrocities during the Dragon War crimes

great enough to be remembered for

thousands of

years justice can be

partic traitor to Aldin and helped

overthrow the dragon cult but that does

not excuse or expedate his previous

deeds whether or not he has truly

repented or merely acted to save himself

justice demands that he pay with his

life that's all

as soon as I get back to Whiterun I'll

get my men ready

d your

greetings which calls to you Dovakim it

is called think of the way for that is

fouse let its meaning the blades are

wise not to trust me on mov I would not

trust another dova

do wan

farel we were made to dominate the will

to power is in our blood you feel it in

yourself do you

not i can be trusted i know this but

they do not only Khan

Neova it is always wise to mistrust

Adova

i have overcome my nature only through

meditation and long study of the way of

the

voice no day goes by where I am not

tempted to return to my inborn

nature says

what is better to be born good or to

overcome your evil nature through great

effort of course I have been pondering

on exactly that question lingra

Mora there are many hungers it is better

to deny than to feed

says

Suyek i can be trusted i know this but

who can say trust your instincts

Doin w Fodon my friends seek deeper

understanding

it is long since I had the pleasure of

speech with one of my own kind solos

Madon melancholy is an easy trap for

Adova to fall

into

perhaps without Aldwine's lordship the

dove the dragons they may yet bow to the

varen rightness of my

th but no

do not be afraid i have taught the way

of the voice for centuries and the th

since long before that

with good reason and philosophy Rock

Mool it will never be the same many of

the Dovah will understand the path of

right action

you can trust me i would not have helped

you otherwise

crosis you have indulged my weakness for

speech long enough now I will

listen

pause a fair answer i am glad you

believe

that fairly well Dovakin

[Music]

maybe we should visit the banded mayor

it's been a while since I've had a good

drink

[Music]

[Music]

we're ready Dragon Born just say the

word as I promised my men stand ready

the great chains are oiled we wait on

your word

my men know what to do make sure you do

your part i'm putting my city in your

hands

you do have a plan for luring a dragon

here yeah

go ahead and call this dragon

we're ready

a true Nord doesn't mind a little

rain

hear

that oh

[Music]

it is to exert yourself

steady beware not to be drawn into the

suffering

[Music]

yourself you're dead you hear me dead

your end is near

over here I am

strong is that all you got

that is interesting but it seems to and

not all your foes will have the thing

okay

[Music]

this is the way you fool

[Music]

move the

Barely a scratch

your thorum is strong

over not strong

enough that

I'm dead before you even hit the

ground bless before others stand upon us

are you here with me

[Music]

do not try to hide from here come on try

your last breath

these lines they're expendable use them

for a greater purpose

[Music]

you do not falter this is rather

dragging remember this feeling now

did you hear that

showtime

another way

shall I slow

down here we go

if you start running get out

mad take up the

way hi dragon born what's on your mind

all right

then quickly

you're dead you hear me dead even if I

can't handle

you godamn

need

i think it's holding

vidav caught like a bear in a trap

ubonar you went to a great deal of

trouble to put me in this

humiliating

position in

Aldowin no doubt you want to know where

to find

[Music]

Aldowin renik Vaza an apt phrase Aldowin

Bval one reason I came to your call was

to test your thum for

myself many of us have begun to question

Aldoin's lordship whether his thuum was

truly the

strongest among ourselves of course

Mooney may none were yet ready to openly

defy him

once Lad Crosus innumerable pardons I

digress he has traveled to Sovereign

Guard to regain his strength devouring

the

Silisure the souls of the mortal dead a

privilege he jealously

guards his door to sovereign guard is at

Scalden one of his ancient faines high

in the eastern

mountains duran

Pidarantil I surely do not need to warn

you that all his remaining strength is

marshal

there zu lost oran

Hindan now that I have answered your

question you will allow me to go

free ah

well

Crosis there is one detail about

Scaldafin I neglected to mention

only

this you have the Thorum of Adoba but

without the wings of one you will never

set foot in

Scaldin of course I could fly you there

but not while imprisoned like this

are you kidding it is wise to recognize

when you only have one

choice and you can trust

me zoo

Tarudis Aldowin has proven himself

unworthy to rule i go my own way

now free me and I will carry you to

Scaldin

i assure you you will not even notice me

most of them are hardly painful at all

to a large dragon such as yourself

very bad idea good to see you

keep safe

surely you win

though dormant there is a great power

here and you walk where history was set

long ago

we have nothing to talk about until

Parth is

dead make your choice Dragon Born you're

either with us or against us god's above

are you listening he needs to die he

committed atrocities so infamous they

are still remembered thousands of years

later we can't afford to give Parthonax

the opportunity to betray

us you're wrong do the right thing

parthonax deserves to

die now then we have nothing to talk

about until Parth is

dead no we are the protectors of the

Septum Emperors sworn to protect and

guard the dragon born the Blad's memory

is long as you know

yes and reserved the dragon

born huh are you sure i hope you're

right about Parthonax i really do i just

I don't like it but I guess that isn't

important i'm one of the last members of

the Blades which means I have no other

choice my oath binds me to you Dragon

Born very well sorry to bring it up

Dragon Born let's see what Eburn has to

say

yes what is it oh how reassuring don't

you understand the

danger you must see the danger dragon

born just think maybe not now thousands

of years when Panax the right hand of

Aldrin takes its place only a dragon

born can stop him but then then there is

no dragon born to sense you are

dead all I can do is watch our doom

approach helplessly once

again for now Dragon Born haven't you

been paying attention to anything I've

said

only you can defeat Parthonox and avert

the end of the

world fine I'll

just I'll trust you Dragon

Born good that's the end of that
