Introduction

The Elder Scrolls universe is an amazing source of adventure ideas and inspiration. When Skyrim came out in 2011, it was no different; it captured the imagination and hearts of many players, including me.

---

I am sure many D&D players wanted to adapt Skyrim into their game, use some of the interesting monsters that exist in the world, or play the Elder Scrolls races. So, let's get started.

Races

__

Argonian

Enigmatic and intelligent, the Argonians are experts at guerrilla warfare, and their natural abilities suit their swampy homeland, Black Marsh. They have developed immunities to the diseases that have doomed many would-be explorers in the region, and they are capable of easily exploring underwater locations due to their ability to breathe underwater. Argonians make proficient thieves, as they have a natural knack for lockpicking.

Culture

---

Politics

After conquest of the Dunmer province of Morrowind, little is known about the politics of the Argonians in the Fourth Era. There is an Argonian political faction called the An-Xileel, but there is little information about them, except they're composed of mostly, if not all, Argonians, and that they pushed back Mehrunes Dagon's forces during the Oblivion Crisis in Black Marsh, and were also the faction responsible for orchestrating the conquest of Morrowind.

---

Assemblage

In Windhelm, Argonians are sequestered from the predominantly Nordic population, and are forced to live at the Argonian Assemblage, located at the city docks. After the mass exodus of Dunmer and Argonian peoples to Windhelm, the citizens became suspicious, worrying that the immigrants would influence or otherwise dilute their culture, and so forced them into segregation. Largely, this extreme behavior was inspired by the political confrontation between the Empire of Tamriel and the rulers of Skyrim. However, this eventually just turned into blatant racism.

---

Marriage

Unlike the citizens of Skyrim, who prefer to marry using an Amulet of Mara, some Argonians adhere to their native marriage traditions. In Black Marsh, it is customary to present a lover with an Argonian Wedding Band, which is crafted by the courting member. Each ring is unique and has personal meaning to the creator and the recipient.

"In Black Marsh, tradition dictates we present a potential mate a unique wedding ring to represent our future bond."

"Every Argonian wedding proposal band is supposed to have three flawless amethysts as part of their design. Two of the gems, the ones on the outside, represent the couple to be married... one for the husband, one for the wife. The amethyst in the center represents The Hist, the entity that all Argonians consider a sacred part of our lives." - Talen-Jei

Altmer

__

Biology

As a race, some Altmer strive to maintain the appearance of their ancestor race, the Aldmer, primarily through highly selective traditions surrounding marriage and reproduction. They are among the tallest of the humanoid races, taller than most humans and much taller than other mer. Their skin maintains a very pale gold hue, not quite the pale white of the northern human races such as Nords or Bretons, but far lighter than the Bosmer. They are slender, with prominently pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes that can be amber, green, or yellow. Altmer are among the most intelligent and magically-inclined races on Nirn, surpassing even the Bretons in magical aptitude. High Elves are well known for their noble countenance, and are arrogant or disdainful more often than not when addressing humans.

---

Fourth era history

__

The Great War

__ Between the Oblivion Crisis and Dragon Crisis, the Mede Empire is attacked by the Aldmeri Dominion, an alliance of Elves, comprised mainly of the Altmer and their Bosmer allies. The Empire saved itself only by negotiating the White-Gold Concordat, a treaty which seems to heavily favor the Dominion, though there were great casualties on both sides. The Elves' ruling government, the Thalmor, are Elven supremacists determined to end the dominance of man and the Empire as a whole. They also call the Great War the "First War with the Empire."

The While-Gold Concordat

__ The White-Gold Concordat enables the Thalmor to move freely throughout the Empire and to suppress the worship of the Man-God Talos. Resentment toward the Altmer, and toward the Empire for surrendering to them, runs rampant in the proud Nords of Skyrim.

Presence in Skyrim

__ Many of the Altmer encountered emigrated from the Summerset Isles to become Alchemists, Enchanters, and mages in Skyrim. Others became members of the College of Winterhold, due to their innate magical abilities. Another potential possibility is that during the rise of the Thalmor, many Altmer with strong loyalty to the Empire fled the Summerset Isles to escape the new Aldmeri Dominion. Even so, the Stormcloaks still show prejudice to the Altmer, though on a much lesser scale than their Dunmeri cousins from Morrowind.

After the signing of the White-Gold Concordat, Altmeri presence in Skyrim have increased considerably, mostly in the form of Thalmor soldiers and Justiciars. They explicitly outlaw the worship of Talos and thus have angered a majority of Skyrim's denizens. The fact that people are being taken out of their homes or off the streets by the Thalmor with little to no evidence of actual Talos worship indicates that the reason of stamping out Talos worship may just be a front, with the

real intention of sabotage and/or demoralization.

---

Culture

__

Origins and identity

__ The Altmer are one of the oldest races on Tamriel, one of the earliest descendants of the original mer race of Aldmer, and from there, through the Ehlnofey to the divine et'Ada themselves. As a race, they are extremely proud of their Aldmeri heritage, and make a concerted effort to maintain their genetic lineage. Their name translates from the Aldmeri language as High Ones or Cultured Ones. For their part, the Altmer argue that they are the first true culture on Tamriel, and still the most civilized race, an argument that even human scholars find difficult to refute.

__

Homeland

__ The Altmer primarily live in the province of Summerset Isle, a large island off the southwest coast of Tamriel, which shares a border with Valenwood. According to their histories, their Aldmeri ancestors arrived on Summerset Isle after fleeing the catastrophic sinking of their original home continent, Aldmeris. From here, splinter groups of Aldmer spread throughout Tamriel, but the Altmer remained on the Isles, acting as the nominal head of the empire of meri nations on Tamriel. For most of the Merethic Era, the other races of elves on Tamriel acknowledged the Altmeri king as their own ruler, a practice which persisted until the founding of the Camoran Dynasty in Valenwood marked the start of the First Era and the beginning of the decline of Altmer-dominated Tamriel. Their influence is still felt across the continent, however, as their culture forms the basis for the religion, language, and even architecture of the Cyrodiilic Empire.

Altmer traits

__ As Altmer are high elves, use the high elf traits from chapter 2 of the 5th edition Player's Handbook.

Imperial

__ Natives of the cosmopolitan province of Cyrodiil, the Imperials are some of the most well-educated, wealthy and well-spoken of the races in Tamriel. Imperials are also known for their discipline and training of their citizen armies. Because of this, the Imperials have dominated Tamriel for more than 2,000 years.

Biology and culture

__ Imperials can be differentiated from Bretons and Nords by their fair to swarthy skin, as opposed to the typically fairer complexion of Bretons and Nords. However, Imperial skin tone is not as dark as that of Redguards. Imperials also have slightly sharper faces than other races of men. If they are not part of the Imperial Legion, they typically serve as diplomats, traders, stewards, and craftsmen — which is well-suited, since Imperials are known for their diplomatic skills and cosmopolitan ideology.

The phrase "Imperial Race" is a bit of a misnomer. The people of Cyrodiil are divided into two ethno-cultural groups: Nibeneans and Colovians. Both descend from the native Nedic and Cyro-Nordic peoples that were enslaved by the Ayleids, but diverged a bit after consecutive invasions and interactions with other races. Both groups reflect the Empire's culture — a hybrid of Nordic, Aldmeri, and Akaviri culture.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, as well as another language of your choice.

Bosmer

Bosmer (or, more commonly, Wood Elves) are the elven people of Valenwood. They prefer a simple existence, living in harmony with the land and wild animals. They are known to be the best archers in all of Tamriel and are known for their ability to command wild creatures. They make great scouts or thieves, due to their natural stealth and light footing.

Fourth era history

After the War of the Blue Divide in the Third Era, in which the Altmer defeated the Bosmer in Valenwood, the Altmer and Bosmer were the core of the newly formed Aldmeri Dominion and its Thalmor forces. The Dominion very nearly destroyed the Empire, if not for the Battle of the Red Ring, which forced the Elven armies to withdraw from Cyrodiil. Following its victory in the Great War, the Third Aldmeri Dominion experienced increased prestige and power that the Mer had not possessed since the First Aldmeri Dominion, which had been defeated by Tiber Septim in the final years of the Second Era. Confident of its ability to defeat the Mede Empire, the Dominion further expanded its influence into the other provinces of Tamriel, including the homeland of the Nords: Skyrim. It also reestablished diplomatic relations with the Mede Empire, even though they were still engaged in a cold war. Malborn, from the quest Diplomatic Immunity, hates the Thalmor as evidenced by him helping the Dragonborn infiltrate a Thalmor party. According to Delphine, Malborn's family was killed by the Thalmor in Valenwood. Therefore, Malborn's family was possibly made of Imperial allies or sympathizers.

Bosmer traits

As Bosmer are wood elves, use the wood elf traits from chapter 2 of the 5th edition Player's Handbook.

Breton

Bretons are a race of both human and elven ancestry. They populate the province of High Rock. They are excellent mages with high magic resistance, but have few other distinctive features. They are considered an intelligent race in Tamriel, known for a proficiency in abstract thinking, a possible reason for their adeptness in the magical arts. It is suggested that they may also carry Aldmer blood, which would further account for their magical prowess.

Culture

Unlike the neighboring Redguard and Dunmer populations, the Bretons do not have many of their number in Skyrim. Some, however, do take to city life and are a minority in settlements.

The Reachmen

In the Reach reside a group of Bretons, known as the Reachmen, historically regarded as a barbaric race involved in dark and extreme practices. Twenty years before the events of Skyrim, the Reachmen were involved in an armed uprising against the Nords that ruled Markarth. They took the city by force, due to a belief that it belonged to the native population. They were soon driven out by Ulfric Stormcloak, prior to his own conflict with the Empire.

Professions

Bretons often take the role of court wizard to a Jarl, or study as scholars at the College of Winterhold. Occasionally, one may also see a Breton merchant, such as Belethor.

Breton traits

Even though they are half-elven, Bretons severely differ from half-elves described in the Player's handbook.

Ability score increase. Your intelligence score increases by 2, and one more ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Size. Bretons vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Innate resistance. You have advantage on all Strength and Constitution saving throws against magic.

Fey ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Languages. You can speak, write and read Common and Elven.

Dunmer (dark elf)

The Dunmer, more commonly referred to as Dark Elves, are the dark skinned elven natives of the province of Morrowind but can be encountered anywhere in Tamriel. Notable, after the eruption of Red Mountain, many Dunmer fled to Skyrim. There, they face extreme prejudices due to their elven blood and their status as refugees. Despite this, several Dunmer have established a foothold in Skyrim as skillful merchants and mages.

Biology

Dunmer have glowing red eyes and grayish skin tones that range from shades of blue to green.

---

History

Migration- Red Mountain eruption

After the eruption of Red Mountain, many Dunmer fled to Skyrim. Several took up residence at the College of Winterhold, to bolster their innate magical talents. Many more fled to Windhelm, the seat of the Stormcloaks' resistance against the Empire of Tamriel.

Azura's vision

Before the destruction that led to the mass exodus of Dunmer, several of the faithful of Azura received visions of the eruption of Red Mountain. Setting out for Winterhold, these Dunmer built the Shrine of Azura and remained there as priests and priestesses, though they eventually left over time, until only one remained, Aranea Ienith.

Dunmer traits

Ability score increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.

Size. The Dunmer range from under 5 to aver 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. You have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Keen senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Trance. The Dunmer don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Innate resistance. You have resistance to fire damage.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish.

Khajiit

"Khajiit has wares, if you have the coin."

Khajiit are one of the beast races which inhabit the continent of Tamriel, primarily their home province of Elsweyr. The Khajiit are Cathay and are recognizable by their feline appearance and their sly accent. Along with the Argonians, they are referred to as the beast-races of Skyrim. Because of this, Khajiit have a negative public image.

Abilities and professions

Known for their natural agility and stealth, many Khajiit disdain weapons in favor of their claws. When involved in combat, they often flatten their ears, narrow their eyes, and show their teeth (similar to a real-life cat). Due to their stealth skills, beguiling wit, and latent agility, they make adept thieves and assassins. Many Khajiit are also warriors, although this is mainly true of the Cathay-raht, a breed taller and more powerful than the Cathay that are rarely found outside Elsweyr. The Cathay found in Skyrim are much more agile and in addition to their natural agility and proficiency in stealth, they have the added benefit of night vision. These skills, combined with the general tendency of humans and mer to look down on Khajiit and "beasts", leads many Khajiit outside of their home province to become professional assassins, thieves or bandits in other lands.

Other Khajiit in the province of Skyrim find their cunning nature suitable for mercantilism and trade. Still more are involved in the illegal smuggling of Skooma, a popular narcotic in Skyrim

Public image and history

Khajiit are typically viewed as second-class citizens due to their bestial appearance. Many more of viewed as cheats, liars, thieves, and drug-addicts—which is accurate in some cases. Because of this, citizens have difficulty trusting Khajiits. Racial slurs for Khajiits have emerged from this negative stereotype, being called "cat," "rug," or "carpet."

Khajiit are the subject of racial discrimination all across Skyrim, as they are thought to be more criminally inclined than other races. According to Ahkari, a female Khajiit trader who sells in almost every hold in Skyrim: "...it is the Nords. They do not like outsiders in their land, and so we are forbidden to enter the cities. When they look upon us, they see only pickpockets and Skooma dealers." Thus, Khajiit caravans are forced to conduct business and encamp entirely outside of city walls.

They were oppressed and enslaved by rich families and primary industries in Morrowind, until very recently when King Helseth outlawed slavery. They also have a strong racial dislike for Argonians (a feeling requited by their eastern neighbors). This causes tension in the southern Cyrodiilic cities of Leyawiin and Bravil, where Elsweyr and Black Marsh are both fairly close, and which have strong populations of both races.

The Confederation of Elsweyr was the third kingdom taken by the Second Aldmeri Dominion, with its secession in 4E 99, after the moons disappeared for three years. This change of leadership, however, did not rectify the racism that the mer and men have for the Khajiit, and many are still considered nothing more than second class citizens and petty brutes.

Biology

The most notable characteristic of the Khajiit is their feline appearance. Being based upon real-life cats, they resemble them, and the range of facial feature combinations enable them to have numerous and varied faces. Some resemble New World mountain cats, such as lynx, bobcats, and cougars, while others display features tantamount to those of Old World cat species, including tigers and leopards, and more yet resemble domestic cats.

Their faces are often speckled with spots or dashed with stripes, although they are relatively faint, especially in comparison to the bold markings of real-world cats. Their range of accessories includes hair, similar to human and meri hair in many compliments, along with some unique to Khajiit, such as lynx-like fur extensions of the ear tips. They also customize themselves with earrings and facial hair, most being similar to standard beards or mustaches and including tiger-like sideburns, optionally with beads tied in.

Lunar influence

The appearance and physiology of a Khajiit is based on the lunar calendar of Masser and Secunda. The Khajiit seen in Skyrim are Cathay and only encompass some of the possible forms they can assume at birth, ranging from a general house cat, to giant feral beasts or even small Bosmer.

Khajiit traits

Ability score increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Size. Khajiit usually stand between barely 5 feet, to almost 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Darkvision. Thanks to your Cathay blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Stealthy. You have proficiency in the Stealth skill.

Claws. You have a pair of claws that you can draw and sheathe a will. These claws are light, finesse weapons that deal 1d3 points of slashing damage.

Languages. You know how to speak, read and write Common and Sylvan.

Nord

Victory... or Sovngarde!

Nords are a race that were led to Skyrim by Ysgramor. They are tall, fair-haired and pale skinned humans from Atmora who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and even magical frost. They are enthusiastic warriors, and act as soldiers, mercenaries, merchants and blacksmiths all over Tamriel. Eager to augment their martial skills beyond the traditional methods of Skyrim, they excel in all manner of warfare. Above all else in Nord culture is the quest for honor and glory, and a great emphasis is placed on family values. They thrive in the cold, reminiscent of their native Atmora, and are known as a militant people by their neighbors. Nords are also naturally superior at sea, and have benefited from nautical trade since their first migrations across the sea from Atmora. They captain and crew the merchant fleets of many regions, and may be found all along Tamriel's coasts. They issue a battle cry to make their enemies flee for a short time. Nords comprise the majority of the Stormcloaks, as well as the majority of the population of Skyrim.

Nord traits

Ability score increase. Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Size. Nords vary widely in height and build, from 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Nordic resilience. You have resistance to cold damage, and have advantage on saving throws against natural cold (in a freezing mountain pass without warm clothes, for example).

Nordic weapons training. You have proficiency with greataxes, warhammers and greatswords.

Nordic toughness. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

Languages. You know how to speak, read and write Common and one additional language of your choice.

Orsimer (orc)

"Orcs, also known as Orsimer, are natives of Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom between Hammerfell and Skyrim. It has been sacked and rebuilt many times."

The Orsimer (more commonly known as Orcs), are the native people of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mountains. They are possibly a variant of elves or mer, hence the name "Orsimer," meaning "Pariah Folk." Other sources state they are beastfolk. Following in the footsteps of Trinimac, and subsequently Malacath, Orcs have consistently held a standard as a race as some of Tamriel's greatest warriors and smiths.

Strongholds

Most orcs are found in strongholds throughout Skyrim, though some are seen in major cities such as Morthal and Markarth. They do not allow strangers to enter them without first making them show their worth to them; this is usually accomplished by completing something important to the orcs, whether is it killing their enemies, acquiring an item of value, or something else.

Orsimer traits

As Orsimer are phisically quite similar to half-orcs, use the half-orc traits from chapter 2 of the 5th edition Player's Handbook.

Redguard

Redguards hail from the great desert province of Hammerfell. They are descended from a long line of warriors and mystic seers. Legend has it that Redguards are innately more proficient with the use of weaponry than any other race. They excel in all arts concerning blade and shield. The most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel, the dark-skinned Redguards of Hammerfell seem born to battle. However, their pride and fierce independence of spirit makes them more suitable as scouts or skirmishers, or as free ranging heroes and adventurers, than as rank and file soldiers. In addition to their cultural affinities for many weapon and armor styles, Redguards are also blessed with hardy constitutions and fleetness of foot.

History in the Fourth Era

Hammerfell, the Redguard's homeland, had recently survived a massive invasion by the Aldmeri Dominion. Though they were aided by the Imperial Legion, the following peace treaty gave a large chunk of the region to the elves. The Redguards refused to accept those terms, and succeeded in reclaiming their homeland from the Dominion, which lead to the separation of Hammerfell from the Mede Empire as an independent nation. There is now distrust between the Redguard and the Imperials.

It is interesting to note that the Redguards pushed back the Elven armies twice before, and would have dominated Tamriel if not for the opposition in Cyrodiil during the Empire's formation. With the signing of the Second Treaty of Stros M'kai in 4E 180, the Aldmeri Dominion completely withdrew from Hammerfell. This makes Hammerfell the only country to have actually defeated the Aldmeri Dominion, and this largely without the aid of the Empire. The history of Hammerfell was filled with war until finally, because of forced cooperation between Forebears and Crowns, the civil war in Hammerfell has ended, which is likely to lead to a prosperous future.

Religion and culture

The main religion of Hammerfell is a mix between ancestor worship and faith in the traditional Yokudan pantheon. According to Trayvond the Redguard, in Hammerfell, they "don't much like spell casters, because Wizards steal souls and tamper with minds. If you use magic, you're weak or wicked." They are not fond of Conjuration, relating it to Necromancy, or Illusion, because it unwillingly alters the mind of an opponent. However, he does mention that he and other Redguards are rather fond of Destruction spells, as that school of magic suits their culture well.

Redguard traits

Ability score increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Size. Redguards usually stand about 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed: fleet of foot. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Languages. You know how to speak, read and write Common and one addional language of your choice.

Enchantments

Finishing the infusion of his longsword, the warlock reveals a small smile. "I think I'll call you...the Blooddrinker," he said. "Because that is why I will use you for.

---

Enchanting is essentially a crafting skill, infusing a piece of equipment with souls of the slain to power it. The strength of enchantment depends on the power of the soul used to power it, and requires a gem filled with a soul to use with any effect, as well as a certain knowledge of the arcane. There are 6 categories of soul gems: Petty, Lesser, Common, Greater, Grand and Black. Black soul gems don't improve the quality of the enchantment, they just extendits duration

---

The pettiest enchantments can be created by someone even moderately knowledgeable in the arcane arts, while stronger enchantments require great knowledge and power.

Mechanics

1. When adding an enchantment to an item, you must have an appropriate soul gem (Example: "Absorb health" enchantment restores 1/2/3/4/5 health to the user on a successful hit. If a petty soul gem is used to create it, it heals 1 hp; if a black soul gem is used, it heals 6hp.)

2. You can learn how to apply an enchantment by studying a piece of equipment that already posseses it. Unfortunately, that piece of equipment is destroyed in a process.

3. It takes 7 days per soul category used, starting with petty, to craft an enchanted item. At the end of this period, a caster crafting the item must make an Arcana check: DC 15 for Petty, DC 17 for Lesser, DC 19 for Common, DC 21 for Greater, DC 23 for Grand, or DC 25 for Black soul gem used. If the check fails, the soul gem is wasted with no effect, and caster takes 2d10 points of necrotic damage per soul gem category; this damage can only be healed by finishing a long rest. The caster may take 10 on this check, but not 20.

4. When an item is crafted, it gains a number of charges equal to the Arcana check result; add 10 to the number of charges for each soul gem category above Petty. After these charges are expended, the caster can spend an amount of days, using the same formula as under the previous step; however, the caster automatically succeeds on the Arcana check, and restores an appropriate number of charges to the weapon.

5. You can only use an enchantment once per round, unless stated otherwise. The enchantments of the same type don't stack.

Thu'um

"They say Ulfric Stormcloak murdered the High King... with his voice! Shouted him apart!" -Hold guard

Dragon Shouts, also referred to as Shouts or Thu'um in the Dragon language, are an ancient form of magic prominently used in Skyrim during the late Merethic and early First Eras, but has gradually become obscured. Shouts use the vocalization of specific "words of power" to create powerful magical effects, usually for offensive purposes. Each Shout is made up of three words. However, one or two words of a given Shout may be used, but the effect is correspondingly less powerful compared to the full force of the whole shout.

Dragons are able to master and use their Thu'um at will, as this sacred language is their natural language, inborn into their souls from the moment of their creation, (when dragons shout, breathing fire or frost at each other with the Thu'um they are actually having a deadly verbal debate). Mortals are only able to learn and use the Thu'um through a long process of meditation and the practice of the words. There are exceptions to this, these rare individuals are known as Dragonborns, those who are born with the body of a mortal but the soul of a dragon. The Dragonborn is able to intuitively learn Shouts and use them after absorbing the Souls of dragons, and with it the dragon's understanding of the words. As shown during "The Way of the Voice," they can also absorb knowledge from other individuals who have mastered specific words.

A minority of other characters also have the ability to use Dragon Shouts, such as a small group of monks known as the Greybeards, who live in seclusion inside of the fortress of High Hrothgar. This fortress is located near the top of the mountain known as the Throat of the World, which is said to have the highest peak in all of Tamriel. The Greybeards use their Thu'um to meditate, as well as praise and worship the Divines. However, their beliefs differ from the Blades, who believe that the Thu'um should be used as a weapon in the battle against dragons.

---

Each shout is consisted of 3 words; uttering each word beyond the first carries a greater effect. You can never shout more than once per turn. Once you use a shout, you cannot use it again until you finish a short rest; if you used all 3 words, you cannot use it until you finish a long rest instead.

For DMs, I recommend reviewing each shout before allowing/giving them before certain levels, as some are much more powerful than the others (for example, Animal Allegiance is a little bit stronger than a 1st level spell, while Elemental Fury is basically an equivalent of haste, which is a 3rd level spell).

The DC for saving throws against your shouts is: 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier. The power to control the Voice comes from the person's blood and soul.

Animal allegiance

This shout lets you convince nearby beasts that you mean them no harm. If the beast’s Intelligence is 4 or higher, the spell fails. Otherwise, the beasts must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the spell’s duration. If you or one of your companions harms the target, the spell ends.

Second word: Hah (Mind)

• Uttering time: 1 action
• Range: 60ft.
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You attempt to beguile a humanoid that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.

While the target is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.

You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.

Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the shout. If the saving throw succeeds, the effect ends.

Atronachs

Flame Atronachs

Flame atronachs are the weakest and most common atronachs. Constructed entirely of fire, Flame Atronachs resemble humanoid females wearing black metal armor. They possess horns, pointed ears, three fingers, and two toes. Flame Atronachs float above the ground at all times and when moving they leave a trail of fire behind. When idle they often do spins and back flips. Unlike other Atronachs, Flame Atronachs rely on speed, agility, and powerful ranged attacks to dispatch their foes.

Storm Atronachs

Similar to a Flame Atronach, Storm Atronachs move about by hovering above the ground. They can travel over water, and are slightly faster than Frost Atronachs. They are perhaps the least humanoid of Atronachs, appearing as a shattered statue with a cracked, frowning face and chunks of rock swirling about its body, loosely connected by a matrix of electric arcs and dark purple storm clouds. They are often summoned by powerful dragon priests to assist them in combat.

Chaurus

Chaurus are worm-like insectoid creatures that typically live underground in caves and even in Dwemer ruins. They are deadly creatures, possessing the ability to spit out poisonous venom from their mouths, but they also use bite attacks during combat. Chaurus are almost always seen with Falmer in the underground cave networks and Dwemer ruins of Skyrim. The Chaurus appear to be used by the Falmer as pets and as fighters in combat, as well as torturers of people when their Falmer masters attack and capture bandits, traveling caravans and other people.

Chaurus Reapers can be found in deep underground caverns throughout Skyrim. They are much larger and stronger than the normal Chaurus, and love curling up in a shape similar to that of a Falmer's chest while sleeping. When in this position they will spring out and attack if touched or attacked.

Chaurus hunter fledglings are usually found inside of large pods, from which they will suddenly hatch if they feel an unknown presence nearby, or if they are attacked. They are found in many locations where adult Chaurus and Falmer live, and resemble giant wasps. Their usually fly around in erratic circles, stinging their targets, and spitting poison.

"When a Chaurus reaches the end of its life, its body undergoes a dramatic transformation. After days of death-like stillness, the Chaurus Hunter bursts free from the husk of the Chaurus." When a Chaurus reaches the end of its larval phase, it forms a chrysalis. Then, after a period of death-like stillness, the Chaurus Hunter rips out of its former shell. They are the strongest of their kind, and mostly go to wander only the deepest caverns and caves.

Dragons

Dragons (Dovah, or Dov in plural) are a reptilian race from Akavir that were once widespread throughout Tamriel. Although seeming rather beast-like, they are profoundly intelligent, capable of speech, written language, and comprehension of other languages. Their spoken language can be used to cast powerful magic known as Thu'um or Dragon Shouts; dragons themselves are most adept in it, and it grows stroger as they do. They were virtually extinct until 4E 201, when they resurfaced in Skyrim with the return of Alduin.

In addition to their normal shouts, dragons can also use various other kinds of Thu'um, at the DM's discretion.

Brown dragons

In appearance, these dragons are brown, while also being the smallest in size. They have a large wing span, spines lining their backbone, and their tail ends in a spaded tip. They are the weakest and most common breeds of dragon (though still very powerful). text

In combat, they typically use Fire Breath, much like most other dragons, though they occasionally use Frost Breath if they see their targets are resistant or immune to fire. text

For a frost variant, simply swap fire immunity and cold resistance, and have the dragon use frost breath as its main weapon. text

Multiatack. Dragon makes 2 attacks: one with its bite, and one with its tail.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage.

Tail Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d8+6) bludgeoning damage. The target then must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Yol-Toor-Shul (Fire Breath) (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales fire in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC l5 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Fo-Krah-diin (Frost Breath) (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales an icy blast in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC l5 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (7d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the target fails its save, its speed is also reduced by 10 feet for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Blood dragons

Blood Dragons look radically different from brown dragons. They are green in appearance, and are slightly larger in mass, with a more intimidating body design. On their back they have a small sail, and their tails, instead of the regular spade shape, have a broad leaf-like design much like that of the sail on their spine, ending in a sharp tip.

The Blood Dragons also have a unique skull formation, being more rounded before pointing off at the jaw. They have a frill on the back of their skulls, and their eyes—unlike those of other dragons—have pupils which run horizontally rather than vertically, producing a more unsettling appearance.

Blood dragons follow their prey, even circling around cities, waiting for their targets to emerge while hiding. The only way to escape a blood dragon, is to lead it to a more desirable prey, like a small, defenseless village or camp and flee as it attacks.

For a frost variant, simply swap fire immunity and cold resistance, and have the dragon use frost breath as its main weapon.

Frost dragons

Frost dragons possess a rather similar appearance to the brown dragon. They are, however, larger, even more so than the blood dragon, with an even larger, more noticeable row of spines on their backbone. They have a white colored body, with mixes of black and grey all over it, and a large tail with a spaded tip, similar to brown dragons, albeit larger. They're not as strong, but know how to utilize a greater number of devastating attacks, making them, in the end, more powerful.

Ice Walk. Frost dragon can move across and climb icy surfaces without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, difficult terrain composed of ice or snow doesn't cost it extra moment.

Actions

Multiattack. The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite or tail and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) cold damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage.

Tail sweep. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10ft., up to 3 targets within reach. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage. The creatures hit must then make a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Fo-Krah-diin (Frost Breath) (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales an icy blast in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throwor take 63 (14d8) cold damage and have its speed reduced by 10 feet for 1 minute. A successful save halves the damage and negates the speed reduction. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the speed reduction on a success.

Elder dragon

Not these dragons are they larger, and obviously more intimidating, than their brown and green cousins, but they feature a more noticeable bronze colored body, with spots of black dotting the skin. Instead of a row of spines, or a sail, these dragons have a mere row of bony bumps dotting their spine, however, they essentially trade that for a meaner, more aggressive looking facial structure. They have two massive, curved horns on their heads, with a more angular, pointy face. Lastly, these dragons also possess the regular spaded tail that the Brown and Frost dragons also have.

Elder dragons do not have a favored elemental shout, instead using either a Fire Breath shout, or a Frost Breath shout. They are far more powerful than previous dragon variants in terms of attacks, both ranged and physical, meaning engaging these dragons is quite a battle.

Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throwor take 54 (12d8) cold damage and have its speed reduced by 10 feet for 1 minute.

Ancient dragon

In terms of overall appearance, these dragons possess a similar look to Elder Dragons, except they possess a color change, being more tan and pink in color, rather than bronze and yellow. The black splotches still remain on the dragon, and are noticeable on the head crests, wings, and tail. These dragons have a more spiny back, with a seeming triple row of small, stubby spikes, lining down the spine, to the tail. In terms of size, these dragons are the largest, barring Legendary variants, and they, like others, possess a spaded tail.

They are the most powerful breed of dragons, and a force to be truly reckoned with. Luckily, they are rare, and only a few were brought back by Alduin. They are also scarily intelligent, and each of them is working on their own malevolent plans for Skyrim.

Alduin

"You do not even know our tongue, do you? Such arrogance, to dare take for yourself the name of Dovah!" ―Alduin to the Last Dragonborn

---

Alduin, the World Eater, also considered an alternative name of Akatosh by some of Tamriel, is the most powerful dragon to have ever existed. He is considered the "wellspring" of the Nordic pantheon, as well as the harbinger of the apocalypse. He is also described as the "creator of dragon civilization" in one particular text ("Shalidor's insight").

History

Nordic myth asserts that Alduin destroyed the last world to begin this one. As a result, he is both creator and destroyer, as well as predating the creation of Nirn itself. There are legends of his battles with Shor during this time.

During the Merethic Era, the people of Atmora and Skyrim worshiped dragons, possibly at the urging of Alduin. He also conspired with Orkey to reduce all the Nords to children,

until he was again defeated by Shor. Some consider that Alduin's rule during this period was foresaking his proper role as the World-Eater.

Alduin served as a leader of the dragons, and he ruled with an iron fist. The humans either worshiped him or were enslaved. The humans worshiped him and the dragons in the Dragon Cult. High ranking members of this cult would be known as a Dragon Priest. Alduin's lieutenant at the time was Paarthurnax, but secretly Paarthurnax was betraying him. Paarthurnax was teaching the voice to the humans so that they could rebel against their dragon overlords. The ensuing war would be known as the Dragon War.

He was ultimately sent forward in time through the actions of three Nordic heroes, who created a new Shout to subdue him, and used an Elder Scroll to send Alduin forward in time.

Draugr

"I don't know what sort of eternal wellspring they draw from, but it's clear that the draugr carry only the barest whisper of life in them, and it rekindles nightly while resting in its niche. I now believe that the grotesque forms that we see in the barrow were, in fact, buried fully as men and women, and only over the thousands of years that have passed withered into the wretched things we know. If we had visited a barrow directly after it's construction, we might not have even known any of its inhabitants were dead!" -Amongst the draugr

Draugr are undead Nordic warriors of Skyrim. It is believed that draugr once served the Dragon Priests; some even know several Words of Power.

Draugr are among the most common foes in Skyrim's many crypts and catacombs. They retain the ability to wield weapons such as swords, axes, and bows, and higher ranked draugr can even use Dragon Shouts.

Most draugr use ancient Nordic weapons, although the high ranked variants can use ebony weapons. Some draugr only appear as corpses, usually containing a few pieces of gold. Draugr are weak to fire as well as silver weapons.

Dwarven Automatons

Though Automatons are not entirely creatures, Dwarven Automatons range in size from smaller than a human to larger than a giant. They are golden colored, strong robotic creations made by the Dwemer. They are also extremely resistant to frost damage.

Dwarven Spider

Created by the Dwemer long ago, the Dwarven spiders served as repair drones, keeping the massive machines in working condition, even long after their Dwemer masters had vanished (which might explain why the machinery in Dwemer ruins still remains functional).

Dwarven sphere

Dwarven spheres can be found in all Dwemer ruins. When not engaged in combat, they are found folded up into a large metal ball shape roughly a meter in diameter, rolling around via a pair of diagonal wheels on either side. When they sense an intruder nearby, Dwarven Spheres will open up and unfold their body to full height, attacking with whatever weapons are mounted on their forearms. They can also appear out of massive pipes in the walls, popping out when a nearby trap is triggered, or simply if an intruder gets too close.

Combat. Though they appear lanky, Dwarven Spheres are fast and tough. They are often armed with a sword blade mounted on one forearm and a crossbow on the other, allowing them to attack both up-close and from afar.

Dwarven Centurion

Dwarven Centurions are very large mechanical guardians in Dwemer ruins. Their giant bodies, undoubtedly designed for combat, are constructed of solid Dwemer blocks and armored with thick dwarven plates. Their arms are equipped with a Dwarven Warhammer and a Dwarven Battleaxe. Their enormous body makes them move slowly, but they can take lots of damage and use very powerful attacks.

Of all the Animunculi left behind by the ancient Dwemer, the Dwarven Centurions are the most elaborately constructed, well-armed, defensive, and arguably the most dangerous.

Falmer

"The Falmer are twisted, evil creatures that dwell in Skyrim's deepest reaches. They have but one desire - to destroy the surface world, and any who dwell above."

---

The Falmer are the degenerate offspring of an endangered species of elves, Snow Elves, who dwell in the ancient Dwemer ruins hewn from Skyrim's expansive subterranean caverns. Although blind, their senses of hearing, smell, and touch are attuned far beyond those of most other races.

History

The Falmer were not always the hideous, pale-skinned creatures that reside in ancient Dwemer ruins. They were once members of an even more ancient and powerful race known as the Snow Elves, beings of grace with wisdom beyond that of even the High and Wood Elves that now populate Tamriel's woodlands.

Origins

A common misconception among the people of Tamriel is that the Snow Elves were tricked by the Dwemer into eating a mushroom native only to Blackreach, which then turned them into the repulsive creatures they are today; however, an

unsullied Snow Elf by the name of Knight-Paladin Gelebor stated that with the little chance of survival, they willingly took to servitude and the poison that rendered them blind. Years of slavery and the blinding poison turned them into the sick and twisted race they are currently.

Physiology

The Falmer's bodies are hideous, otherworldly corruptions of typical Mer physiology. Living in cramped, dark caves all their lives has rendered their backs hunched, their joints heavily scarred, and their skin deathly pale. Their eyes are tiny and useless, though their ears are larger and more sensitive than those of their surface-dwelling cousins. Their noses are nothing more than thin, skeletal slits on their faces, and their teeth are jagged and rotten. Although a typical Falmer may appear small and emaciated, they can be surprisingly quick on their feet and deliver quick, powerful blows with a sword.

Frostbite Spider

Frostbite Spiders exist in several varieties and can be found throughout Skyrim's wilderness, as well as inside dungeons and mines (such as Redbelly Mine).

---

They will spit poisonous venom from afar during combat, which can be harvested and used on weapons after they are killed. Upon attacking, they will make a screeching or scuttling noise. They attack with their mandibles and legs when up close. Frostbite Spiders' health and strength depends on the size of the spider. Their lairs are often strewn with webs which they can use to descend upon their unwary prey from above.

---

Dungeons containing Frostbite Spiders often have webbing around their entrances. Inside, webs frequently contain the desiccated corpses of creatures and adventurers. While some can simply be walked through, others must be cut or burned away in order to proceed. While they are usually the sole inhabitants of their residences, Frostbite Spiders will occasionally share an abode with Vampires, Falmer, or other creatures, whom they are friendly with.

Hagraven

"This Hagraven was horrifying, almost human but more an abomination of woman and creature [crow] fused together, nothing more than a husk of humanity surrendered in exchange for possession of the powers of dark magic." -Herbane

---

Hagravens are a mix of an old crone and a crow, and are exclusively female. They are often called witches, and many serve the Forsworn as Matriarchs

History

Legend has it they were once witches but gave up their humanity to become hagravens. They despise nature, and hunt down spriggans to capture and sacrifice. The Forsworn revere them greatly, and in the book The Madmen of the Reach, it is noted that the hagravens were in the Reach since "the beginning."

Appearance

Hagravens are hideous avian-like humanoids with scraggly grey hair, pale skin, hooked noses and solid black eyes. Their limbs are long and bony, and their hands and feet each have four digits ending in sharp talons. They dress in tattered black garments and have black raven feathers bound to their shins and forearms. All hagravens are female.

Powers

For sacrificing their humanity, hagravens gain enhanced magical powers that trump most other witches and warlocks. In addition to an innate resistance to spells, hagravens can cast spells powerful warlocks can, as often as a sorcerer. They prefer to keep their distance, lobbing spells at any would-be attackers. In close quarters they will attack with their filthy claws. They can also cast healing spells on themselves when damaged or fleeing.

Spriggan

"I am Groot."

---

The Spriggan is a creature that can be found across Skyrim. Spriggans can usually be found underground in caves, or in dense forests

Behaviour and appearance

Spriggans are beings which are made entirely of wood and magical energy; the source of which is their taproot. Spriggans are attracted to taproot, and Hagravens manipulate this weakness by hanging taproots from trees to attract spriggans. Hagravens then sacrifice them for their magical characteristics, and because of their hatred of nature.

Combat

In combat, spriggans have the ability to use the Invisibility spell, heal themselves quickly when low on health, and attack their target with a swarm of bees which can poison it.

Their most notable ability is their ability to enthrall the nearby wildlife - including animals not normally hostile like deer, goats and foxes - to come to their aid; enthralled animals bear a green aura and the effect can be overridden with the Animal Allegiance or Kyne's Peace shouts.

"Trolls can be found in any region throughout Skyrim, both deep underground or wandering the wilds."

---

Trolls are large, hairy, ape-like creatures with sharp fangs, claws and long, powerful arms. These creatures have three beady black eyes, their skulls being easily recognized by their three eye sockets. Commonly found in forests, such as the Rift, trolls also inhabit caves, ruins, and mountains. While they are not very intelligent, Trolls compensate with tough physical prowess and the ability to regenerate health.

Wisp

Wisps are small, glowing phantasms. They typically appear with Wispmothers, and drain their victims' life energy with their special attack, Wisp's Kiss. Destroying them causes damage to the Wispmother.

Behaviour

Wisps often float around other wisps if they are in the same area, but will attack if provoked. However, it is possible to walk among the wisps without them attacking.

Wispmother

Wispmothers are creatures found in the frozen, mountainous regions of Skyrim. Wisps can be spotted floating in the wild, and remain neutral. If the wisp is approached, it moves away and eventually leads to a wispmother.

Combat

During combat, wispmothers summon three to four smaller wisps or shades to attack while she casts a volley of frost spells. The wispmother stays on the move to avoid magical attacks. The smaller wisps follow whomever the wispmother is attacking, regardless of distance, and drain health.
