Viinturuth's Dragon Mound

Viinturuth was a dragon whose name meant "Shine-Hammer-Rage" in the Dragon Language.[1][2]

He was recorded as a deceased dragon by the chronicler of the Dragonguard, Brother Mathnan, in the Atlas of Dragons in 2E 373. According to the documents recovered from Dragon Cult temples he died during the Dragon War and was buried near the Lake Yorgrim.[3]

Upon his return in 4E 201, Alduin began the process of resurrecting the many dead dragons buried throughout Skyrim by the Dragon Cult in ancient times. Viinturuth was among the dragons to be brought back to life, where his resurrection was witnessed by the Last Dragonborn. Upon the resurrection Viinturuth pledged allegiance to Alduin and fought against the Last Dragonborn, but was defeated and killed.[2][4] Having had his soul devoured by another dovah, Viinturuth was killed permanently and cannot be raised again.[5][6]
