Re: Give me your Dragonborns; Any/DB/F!DB
Date: 2014-01-02 06:08 am (UTC)" A collection of observations and interviews about the Dragonborn collected by the bards of the Bards college in Solitude. "
*
The Bards of Solitude have endeavored to uncover a more personal portrait of the Dragonborn for the perusal and enjoyment of the reader. We hope this book succeeds in shining a brighter light on our hero of legend.
*
"His [the Dragonborn's] appearance was always staunchly Imperial. Dark hair, even darker eyes. He was clean-shaven, which some of my men laughed about before he truly began to gain their respect. And he was short, something I think he was always quite aware of, and lithely built. More than once I found myself guilty of tripping over him. In my defense, he's a very quiet man. Reticent. It took a long time for my men and I to warm to him. It's unnerving, how quietly he moves, but that made him excellent for reconnaissance. He always looked more suited to the dark leathers of an assassin, the way he moved, than the uniform of a soldier. I certainly never thought I'd see an Imperial wear the armour of the bear, but he rose quickly in my estimation. When he first appeared in my palace there was no doubt that there was something different about him... he was too well-spoken to be some lowly mercenary though he advertised himself as such. When we became closer he hinted to some past in Cyrodiil but that was of no concern to me. Many Imperials have found themselves betrayed by the sham of an Empire they once served, though there were few among our ranks. He quickly proved that he was no friend of the Emperor. And this was Skyrim, this was Windhelm, not the Imperial court. Leave a man's past in the past."--High King Ulfric Stormcloak on the Dragonborn.

"He was very shy, poor dear. Very sensitive to teasing. He took offense to being called 'whelp' when he first joined up with the Companions. I can't count the amount of times Kodlak-- Arkay rest his soul-- took to lecturing the lad and Vilkas too; nor the number of times I had to clean up after them. I think that was just typical Imperial ignorance, not quite understanding Companion tradition. Of course Vilkas was always very hot-headed so there was bound to be some clashing. He calmed down after a while, but he still never quite saw eye-to-eye with our Vilkas. Of course, this was before we knew he was the Dragonborn. To us he was still just a whelp with dreams of being a warrior. When we all found out what he really was some of the Companions, oh Ria in particular, treated him with real deference. I don't think he liked that much either. We haven't seen him since the Great Battle of Whiterun however. Some of us didn't think a Companion should be involved in the war, others thought a Companion could pick his battles as he pleased. He's been gone for some time now. I know Aela, for one, misses him sorely. Of course she'd never admit it, poor dear." -- from an interview with Tilma the Haggard, caretaker of the Companions in Whiterun.

"I know everyone thinks he was some great hero, but let me tell you the Dragonborn is flawed. If I had a septim for every time Cassius set off a trap or stepped on a shock rune... let me put it this way: I wouldn't be selling my services in a rathole like Riften. And we had to stop, oh, every five minutes. Look in this jar, search this bookcase. He'd pick every herb he saw and want to know what it did. Never mind the Falmer pouring out of the walls, list me the properties of a nirnroot! And I've put on whole pounds of muscles since I started travelling with the guy. "Listen," I'd tell him. "I'm an apprentice wizard! Not a pack-mule!" --from an interview with Marcurio, mage-for-hire of Riften.
On the Dragonborn [part 2] +tags
Date: 2014-01-02 06:11 am (UTC)"Lots of rumours surround the Dragonborn. There was a big smear campaign that sprang from the Imperial Army once he made his allegiance to the Stormcloaks known. That's what Imperial dogs are like. What they can't win by force they'll try and take through underhanded trickery. Let the elves take them! The Dragonborn was secretly a Thalmor agent at one point, at another he was having a scandalous affair with an Argonian Concubin! Other such filthy rumours rose up in a bid to defame him. The worst I have heard to date is that he [the Dragonborn] was secretly the head of the Dark Brotherhood! With the Emperor so publicly assassinated there can be no doubt of the Brotherhood's return but to accuse the Dragonborn of being party to such crimes is as ridiculous as it is dangerous. Yes he was present at the time of the Notorious Red Wedding of Solitude, but the man has a residence there! He's a Thane of Solitude for Arkay's sake! There is something odd about the man to be sure-- he is an Imperial after all-- but that does not an assassin make. Furthermore my guards have searched The Pale top and bottom. There is no 'Sanctuary' of the Dark Brotherhood in Dawnstar, and if such a place were to be found it would be quickly, and swiftly, dealt with. I've no doubt the Dragonborn, also a Thane of my own hold, would be eager to head the hunting party for me." -- Jarl Skald the Elder of Dawnstar, addressing rumours on the Dragonborn.

"Where has the Dragonborn gone? Wherever he pleases, it is of no concern to me. A man who deserts his Companions is no man at all, in my opinion. Very occasionally a dragon finds it's way to Whiterun's borders but the Companions do a sound job of keeping the area dragon-free, even without him. As to his location, I know he would never return to Cyrodiil, so perhaps he has gone to Hammerfell. He once said he might travel to Solstheim. Perhaps he is dead in a ditch.
Additionally, bard, attempt to question me on any 'personal relationship' with the Dragonborn again and risk an arrow through your chest."--A short speculation on the location of the Dragonborn from Aela the Huntress, a Companion of Whiterun.

A!A forgot to write the caption for the first post. silly, silly, silly. Anyhoo love OP's prompt. Personally, I'm quite nosy when it comes to Dragonborns. Sometimes I prefer reading about them than the NPCs I know and love. Also, is OP going to share his/her own Dragonborn(s)? ;)
