Ysgramor

Ysgramor, "the harbinger of us all", was an ancient Atmoran king who came to Tamriel before recorded history as a refugee fleeing civil war in Atmora. He is generally regarded as the first human ruler of Skyrim. For more information, see the lore article.

During the events of Skyrim, Ysgramor has long since died and his soul resides in Sovngarde. His legacy is purportedly carried on by the Companions, a group of nonpartisan mercenaries based in the city of Whiterun who are renowned as impartial arbiters on matters of honor. During the main quest, you travel to Sovngarde to end Alduin's reign of terror. When you first enter the Hall of Valor during the quest Ysgramor will greet you.

Ysgramor wears a full set of ancient Nord armor, except the helmet, and carries his legendary axe on his back.

Quest-Related DialogueEdit

He greets you with:

"Welcome, Dragonborn! Our door has stood empty since Alduin first set his soul-snare here. By Shor's command we sheathed our blades and ventured not the vale's dark mist. But three await your word to loose their fury upon the perilous foe. Gormlaith the fearless, glad-hearted in battle; Hakon the valiant, heavy-handed warrior; Felldir the Old, far-seeing and grim."

Approaching him again before completing the quest will result in either his first greeting or:

"The three await your word to loose their fury upon the perilous foe."

Additionally, if you have completed the Companions questline he may also say when approached:

"Do not fail Kodlak. He's earned his place here, and does not deserve to fall prey to Alduin's insatiable hunger."

NotesEdit

  • Even if the player has Wuuthrad, Ysgramor always has it with him as well. This suggests that it is an ethereal copy, though they are exactly the same item according to the game data.
  • Ysgramor is portrayed as a Nord, but according to lore, he is actually an Atmoran.
  • Ysgramor belongs to the citizen class, which determines the level of his skills.
  • He is slightly taller than other Nords.
