User Info: VT I've completed the main story now and didn't like their attitude when they said they would not aid me until I have killed Parthurnaax and because of this I now wish to kill them. I don't think so. User Info: OmegaPenguinX I once used Unrelenting Force on them when they were outside. I know they're essential but they've yet to return, nearly hours later, so I just head back there every once in a while to chill with my other Blades Buddies.
I'm guessing Delphine and Esbern are just stuck somewhere at the bottom of the mountain but I've never found them. Because penguins! That's why! If only. If you asked me, I think Bethesda's writers sorta screwed the Dragonborn on that. If I had my way, I'd tell them both to shut their holes and do what I say.
I'm the goddamn Dragonborn and there's only TWO of them. At least the Greybeards aren't trying to get me to take care of old grudges. User Info: Kaiboraz. But then the dragons returned. And I remembered the Blades used to be dragonslayers. And that we were sworn to protect the Dragonborn, the greatest dragonslayer of all. There's no simple answer to that. You want the long version or the short version? The Thalmor take the arrogance of high elves to the extreme - they believe they are the rightful rulers of all of Tamriel.
For a century or more, the Thalmor had been picking away at the Empire. Valenwood was the first, then the province of Elsweyr. But even the Blades didn't see the Great War coming. We underestimated the Thalmor, and they destroyed us. Sworn enemies of the Empire and everything it stands for. Thirty years ago, they invaded the Empire and came close to destroying it. They smashed the Blades in the process.
Since then, they've been working to weaken the Empire in any way they can. I'd be too likely to attract the wrong kind of attention.
But they don't know you at all, yet. While the Thalmor's been looking for me, I've been watching them. Even if you could survive, by the time you got inside, whatever documents they had would be long gone. We're there for information, remember? Trust me, I've been doing this for a long time. My way is better. How do I infiltrate the Thalmor Embassy?
I can get you into one of those parties. Once you're inside the Embassy, you get away and find Elenwen's secret files. I have a contact inside the Embassy. He's not up for this kind of high-risk mission, but he can help you. His name's Malborn. Wood elf, plenty of reason to hate the Thalmor.
You can trust him. I'll get word for him to meet you in Solitude, at the Winking Skeever -- you know it? While you're doing that, I'll work on getting you an invitation to Elenwen's little party. Meet me at the Solitude stables after you've arranged things with Malborn. Any questions? You're sure I can trust him? He's not a dangerous character like you, but he hates the Thalmor at least as much as I do. He's a wood elf - the Thalmor wiped out his family back in Valenwood during one of their purges that we never hear about.
Luckily they don't know who he really is, or he wouldn't be serving drinks at the Ambassador's parties. You'll have a real invitation, don't worry. As long as you can act the part of a Thalmor toady, you'll get past the guards. You'll have to slip away from the party without raising the alarm. Then you'll need to find Elenwen's office and search her files. Malborn should be able to point you in the right direction. Be careful. I have your invitation to the party. But the only way you're going to get past the guards is if they really believe you're an invited guest.
Which means you need to look the part, and not be armed to the teeth. Here, put this on. When you're ready, I'll keep the rest of your gear safe until you get back. You'll only have what Malborn smuggled in for you, plus whatever you can pick up inside.
I've put everything in your hands here, not least Malborn's life. Now do whatever it is you need to do, and let's get going before we miss our chance! Keep the rest of my things safe for me. Just make sure you get back out of there alive with the information we need. Good luck. That seems hard to believe.
You're sure about that? I just I was sure it must have been them. If not the Thalmor, who? They're looking for someone named Esbern. Or "I don't know, but the Thalmor are looking for someone named Esbern" if the previous option was chosen.
He's alive? I thought the Thalmor must have got him years ago. That crazy old man Figures the Thalmor would be on his trail, though, if they were trying to find out what's going on with the dragons. Esbern was one of the Blades archivists, back before the Thalmor smashed us during the Great War.
He knew everything about the ancient dragonlore of the Blades. Obsessed with it, really. Nobody paid much attention back then. I guess he wasn't as crazy as we all thought. The old enemies assume that every calamity must be a plot by the other side Even so, we've got to find Esbern before they do.
He'll know how to stop the dragons if anybody does. Do they know where he is? Probably down in the Ratway, then. It's where I'd go. You'd better get to Riften. Talk to Brynjolf. A good starting point at least. Oh, and when you find Esbern Just ask him where he was on the 30th of Frostfall. He'll know what it means. The road south through Falkreath is the most direct route. Or you could catch the carriage from Whiterun to Markarth and then approach from the west.
Either way, the Reach is wild country these days. The Forsworn are everywhere. Best be careful. Might be safer to travel separately - attract less attention that way. Don't worry, I'll get Esbern there in one piece. We'll wait for you near Karthspire. Are you ready to go? Let's go see if we can find this Sky Haven Temple.
Let's see what else those old Blades left in our way. Try using your blood on the carved seal on the floor. A Shout that can knock a dragon out of the sky? I guess there's nothing for it. We'll have to ask the Greybeards for help. I hoped to avoid involving them in this, but we have no other choice. The Greybeards are so afraid of power that they won't use it. Think about it.
Have they tried to stop the civil war, or done anything about Alduin? And they're afraid of you, of your power. Trust me, there's no need to be afraid. Think of Tiber Septim. Do you think he'd have founded the Empire if he'd listened to the Greybeards? Power is dangerous. All the great heroes have had to learn to use their power. Those that shrank from their destiny And there are the villains - those that misused their power. There's always a choice, and there's always a risk.
But if you live in fear of what might go wrong, you'll end up doing nothing. Like the Greybeards up on their mountain. Good thing they've already let you into their little cult. Not likely they'd help Esbern or me if we came calling.
We'll look around Sky Haven Temple and see what else the old Blades might have left for us. It's a better hideout than I could have hoped for. Talos guard you. I'm not afraid of my own power. The Greybeards can teach you a lot, but don't let them turn you away from your destiny. You're Dragonborn, and you're the only one who can stop Alduin.
Don't forget it. Two people? It wasn't exactly great for recruitment. But we have a headquarters of a sort now. We'll rebuild the Blades. Remember, though, being a Blade is a lifelong commitment. Their loyalty has to be with us once they're in. I need an Elder Scroll. That's not going to be easy to come by. Esbern's your man for that kind of thing. He may be able to at least point you in the right direction. If he doesn't know himself, he'll know where to find it out. We know about Paarthurnax.
The dragon, that the Greybeards have been protecting for all these years. But he helped me. In fact, all of this is really just a "gut feeling" from Delphine, who even admits it. It's a conspiracy theory at best, and yet she still forces you to go on this extremely dangerous mission to the embassy.
In the end, it's all a waste of time, and it's highly unlikely the Thalmor would have anything to do with dragons anyway. There's no end to Delphine's criticism. Nothing is safe from her judgment and complaining, not even the immensely old and wise Greybeards. Arngeir and the rest have been around for hundreds of years, which makes them older than the Blades and much more knowledgeable about the realities of the world.
And yet, Delphine constantly belittles them and puts them down. She considers them to be foolish and beneath herself, which makes absolutely no sense given how she definitely hasn't been around for as long as Arngeir has and witnessed what the Greybeards have. It might seem like a small, nitpicky detail, but it's a bit annoying how the Dragonborn doesn't recognize Delphine at Dragonsreach.
Her name is even visible to players, which gives off her identity almost instantly. If the player is following the main quest , chances are they've just recently been to Riverwood and seen her at the inn. A simple hood shouldn't be enough to conceal her identity. It's fairly evident who she is, yet somehow the Dragonborn is still surprised to find out her true identity once they reach her at Riverwood's inn again. It's not just the Greybeards Delphine likes to belittle.
She also seems convinced that without her help, the Dragonborn wouldn't be able to do anything, and that they could easily take down the Dragonborn themselves. This is big words coming from someone who has been working as an innkeeper from years. Paarthurnax is an easy foe for those who are leveled sufficiently, comparable to the average Frost dragon.
You will receive a dragon soul and the usual set of dragon bones and dragon scales upon defeating him. Killing Paarthurnax will enrage Arngeir; if you return to High Hrothgar , he will angrily lecture you on your decision and even go so far as to threaten violence if you do not leave. After this, the other Greybeards will also fail to acknowledge you. On the other hand, the Blades will talk to you again.
The Blades do not reward you upon your return after killing Paarthurnax. Most of the gains come from the varied loot you find when searching Paarthurnax upon his death. Jump to: navigation , search.
