Overview

The following activities occur after you complete certain parts of the Main Quest. From this point on, High Hrothgar in Whiterun Hold is the main base of operations for the Greybeards. Providing you partner with Master Arngeir and Paarthurnax and do not complete Main Quest: Paarthurnax, you can help the Greybeards preserve the Way of the Voice. There are now two Radiant Quests you can attempt.

Sanctuary: High Hrothgar, in Whiterun Hold

An ancient monastery high up on the slope of the Throat of the World, High Hrothgar is home to the Greybeards, masters of Thu’um—the voice powers made famous by Tiber Septim.

Important Characters

Leader: Paarthurnax

Paarthurnax lives above High Hrothgar, at the summit of the Throat of the World, and serves as the supreme master of the Greybeards. He remembers back to the days of the ancient Dragon War when Alduin was defeated and imprisoned. He views events from a distance and from a uniquely detached point of view.

Elder: Master Arngeir

Arngeir is the most powerful of the Greybeards, although this isn’t immediately obvious to the rare visitors he receives. His initial reaction to you is cautious; he wants to believe that a Dragonborn has returned but hardly dares to hope it is true.
