Lore talk:High Hrothgar

Danish King

• Hrothgar was a legendary king of the Danes in the early 6th century. In the epic Beowulf he is the ruler of Denmark and the builder of the great hall of Heorot. — Unsigned comment by ‎184.59.231.111 (talk) at 05:49 on 11 December 2010

Worth noting it gets mentioned "For High Hrothgar's blood" (something seems to happen to it) in the trailer, as part of someone's battlecry, during the chanting. --67.8.22.167 21:50, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

That's one of several interpretations of those lyrics. For the moment it's all speculation, and that should be kept to the forums. rpeh •T•C•E• 22:57, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

If anyone's interested I've listened to it many times and heard this:

"For the King!

For the King!

For the sake of Skyrim!

For our lives!

For our homes!

For the High Hrothgar's blood!

For the Nords and the Gods!"

For the Sole-Single Son!

Dovahkiin, our king, will da-awn in FIRE!" --Para01 04:06, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

As I said, speculation should be kept on the forums. rpeh •T•C•E• 07:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Did he go INTO High Hrothgar? I only remember him saying he made the pilgrimage up the 7000 steps once, like Karita and that other guy. Not that he went in. Vicano (talk) 21:10, 4 August 2013 (GMT)

The dialogue is absent from CSList for some reason. But his relevant dialogue is "There's no refusing the summons of the Greybeards; it's a tremendous honor. I envy you, you know. To climb the 7,000 Steps again … I made the pilgrimage once, did you know that?" So, it seems like we may have made a bad assumption here, unless there's something I'm missing. Just because he made the pilgrimage doesn't mean he ever tried to enter or train with them. Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 21:30, 4 August 2013 (GMT)

The dialogue is found here and here in CSList. Anyway, he continues on to say that "High Hrothgar is a very peaceful place" and I'm not sure if that necessarily means he entered or not either. — ABCface^◥ 21:57, 4 August 2013 (GMT)

Yeah, it seems a bit ambiguous. Vicano (talk) 09:24, 5 August 2013 (GMT)
