5.1 The Way Of The Voice







After going through the 7000 steppes I reach the graybeards. I saw that this group that is formed of 4 members are living in isolation and through investigation I saw that they receive the necesery needs from the town downhill .also when I was on my way to the top of the mountain I saw many statues that contain some writings on them. One example, is the photo I attached where the statue states the story of men learning the voice from Paarthunax, who I believe is a dragon because the voice is the language of dragons. Kenerest is the goddess that Arnegier claim have taught mortals the way of the voice for the advancement of religion.



Arngeir approach to teaching me the dragon language was interesting. I Decided to include my language learning experience and compare it to what my character was exposed to. the Dragonborn learns the dragon language through first reading the word and then receiving some sort of power and at last  speaking , shouting.it is interesting because I can’t see how did the Dragonborn learn how to read the word in the first place knowing this language is new to him. What brought this thought to mind is our current community way of learning which is as I believe is beginning with listening like new borns. Let’s take for instance a German child raised in an English speaking family we could say that the German language is in his blood but he didn't get the sufficient exposure to this language.

  1. I really like how you include screenshots in your plogs. It really helps me understand what's going on during your quests. I like the comparison to learning the dragon language to your German example.

  2. First of all I think its cool how you found the Greybeards during the day! I got there when it was nighttime and had to learn everything in the dark, and this added a spookier component to the game for me. With seeing the pictures that you so generously posted, I am able to get a feel for what you genuinely experienced!
