Felldir, Hakon and Gormlaith's spirits.(Legends)

Felldir the Old was an Atmoran hero and Tongue in the Merethic Era. Felldir, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, and Hakon One-Eye were the leaders of the rebellion against Alduin,[1][2] and the first mortals to learn how to wield the Thu'um besides the Dragon Priests.[1][2][3] They were taught by Paarthurnax.[4] During the Dragon War, Hakon and the others sought the help of Miraak, the First Dragonborn, in defeating Alduin, but Miraak refused to help.[5] Undeterred, together, they fought against Alduin atop the Throat of the World at the end of the Dragon War. Finding that they had no means to achieve a final victory, the companions successfully used Felldir's stratagem to send the wyrm forward through time using an Elder Scroll, creating a Time Wound in the process. Thousands of years later, the spirits of Felldir and his compatriots assisted the Last Dragonborn in the final battle against their nemesis in the realm of Sovngarde.[1][2] He also aided the Last Dragonborn in their other battles, when called to their aid with the Call of Valor.[6][7]

Notes[edit]

  • †  The inhabitants of Skyrim during the Dragon War were variously labeled Nords[4] and Atmorans.[8] The truth may lie somewhere in-between; while the two are considered distinct races,[9] the men living in the transition period between the terms' respective usage have been considered 'proto-Nords'.[10][11][12]
