Greybeards Quests: Word Wall Revelations

Word Wall Revelations*

Speak to Master Arngeir about the Greybeards, and he mentions that there are Words of Power scattered across Skyrim. Most are lost to the world, found only by those stumbling into underground passageways or snowy mountains not used for centuries. If you want, Master Arngeir can place a marker on your world map, randomly showing you a Word Wall you haven’t yet discovered.

Quest Conclusion

Journey to a location that Arngeir marked, and absorb the Word of Power. This may involve battling any number of guardians, usually Draugr or a dragon. The Word Walls Arngeir reveals may be ones perched atop mountain peaks or hidden in deep dungeons. He usually won’t reveal locations you’ve already been to, unless you’ve forgotten or missed the Word Wall at that location.

Postquest Activities

You can return to Master Arngeir and begin this quest repeatedly. A section in the Training Chapter lists the locations of all the Word Walls and their associated Shouts.
