![]() Paarthurnax then speaks of his intent on bringing the " Way of the Voice" to all dragons and flies off. ![]() Nevertheless, he notes that Alduin's defeat was necessary. Despite Alduin's defeat, Paarthurnax is struck with grief as he is not happy that Alduin has fallen since he still considers him as his brother. If Paarthurnax was not killed at the request of the Blades, he appears at the Throat of the World in this quest, which is immediately after Tsun sends the Dragonborn back to Mundus upon completion of the final quest, Dragonslayer. They will give the Dragonborn a debriefing on their excursion to Sovngarde and battle against Alduin, and they will hint at their fate and future accomplishments. This quest will not go away until the Dragonborn kills him, or until the Greybeards are sought out afterwards, sitting at their table at High Hrothgar. If he is not killed, he appears for a small speech in the Epilogue. When the Dragonborn mentions that Paarthurnax betrayed Alduin, the Blades will state that this simply means that he has the ability to betray them and others as well. After the latter escapes to Sovngarde, Paarthurnax will devise a plan to capture a dragon in Dragonsreach to find out where Alduin has gone.Īfter the Blades learn that Paarthurnax aided Alduin during the Dragon War, they seek to kill him. He can also help the Dragonborn to meditate on their shouts, giving them additional perks depending on the word chosen.Īfter the Dragonborn recovers the Elder Scroll from the Tower of Mzark and reads it at the Time Wound, Paarthurnax helps the Dragonborn in defeating Alduin. If the first word has already been learned, he will teach the second, and if the first and second words have been learned, he will teach the third one. When this is mentioned, he replies with "I am as my father Akatosh made me." He teaches the Dragonborn the Fire Breath shout. ![]() Paarthurnax is not surprised when the Dragonborn is confused over his form as a dragon. Paarthurnax at night, with aurora in background.Īfter the Greybeards teach the Clear Skies shout to the Dragonborn, they use it to approach the summit of the Throat of the World, seeking Paarthurnax for information on the location of an Elder Scroll. Given his history and the atrocities he committed during the Dragon War, the Blades are very keen on killing him despite contributing to mankind's victory over his own kind. According to the Atlas of Dragons, Paarthurnax is recorded as one of the only dragons that survived. The Blades kept a record of any known surviving Dragons from the Dragon War. He recalls that Numinex was so lonely and disturbed by his captivity that he could not remember his own name. Some time after 1E 420, he would often visit the legendary Dragon Numinex during his imprisonment in Dragonsreach. Paarthurnax became the grandmaster of the Greybeards, but continued to live in seclusion at the peak of the mountain. He built High Hrothgar, located near the peak of the Throat of the World, which served as the monastery where the Greybeards meditated and perfected their Voice. Jurgen Windcaller also founded the Greybeards, a monastic order dedicated to mastering the Way of the Voice. To overcome this, he retired to the peak of the Throat of the World and lived in seclusion so that he could meditate and focus on the Way of the Voice, a pacifist creed developed by Jurgen Windcaller that preached the Thu'um should only be used for the worship and glory of the gods rather than martial exploits. Mankind eventually prevailed, and Alduin was banished from Mundus.Īs with all Dragons, the lust for power was innate and still strong within him and if left unchecked, he would surely revert to his old ways. Either way, Paarthurnax, along with several other Dragons, betrayed their former master and taught mankind to use the Thu'um. However, Nordic legend states that it was Kyne herself who intervened, and sent Paarthurnax to assist mankind. Paarthurnax claims it was Alduin's false claim of godhood that turned him against his older brother.
