Skyrim - All Dragon Priests and their Dark Lore
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2024
- This book could reveal their secrets.. Here, I list All Dragon Priests in Skyrim and their dark lore. This includes their locations, as well as the dragon priest masks. Depending on your play-style, one of these could be the hardest enemy, or most powerful enemy in all of Skyrim. Many are found in secret locations, and feel like hidden enemies. Skyrim secrets are no stranger, and yet looking for secret quests is always fun.
Since I'm on PC, I love the Skyrim new mods. There are quest mods and follower mods that are outstanding. It makes developing theories, and looking for disturbing locations filled with sad stories, or creepy encounters, a lot more fun. I also do a lot of Skyrim Top 5, if you're interested.

Years ago, on my first ever playthrough of Skyrim, I happened upon Ragnvald. When I awoke Otar, I died within seconds. After about forty five minutes of trying (and dying), I was scouring my inventory for something that would help, and in desperation, pulled out Wabbajack. I aimed and used it - and Otar the Mad became a very irate mudcrab. I let my follower do combat while I just kept using Wabbajack, and within minutes he was defeated.
About a year later, I'm paging through a Skyrim gaming manual and find the Dragon language glossary on the back. Reading it, I see that Otar means madness.
😂😂 😂
TheMaidHatter w
TheMaidHatter What sweet, sweet, irony
Fight fire with fire, you get a bigger fire. Fight madness of a dragon priest with dadreic prince madness, wabbajack wins.
So did you go Otar?
I wish there was a way to befriend Vahlok. You'd think the only Dragon Priest explicitly stated to be a good person couldn't be a companion. Imagine, bringing Vahlok to face Miraak.
That would be perfect
Just image vahlok be like 'hey Miraak I'M BACK'
Imagine that but you’re wearing konahriik yeet
Especially if you've already defeated Alduin, like, you are a Dragon in soul so shouldn't they bow to the DB.
Mods?
Ikr? I've seen a few mods with the priests but nothing close to that. I'd love to travel around with Vahlok, especially to face Miraak! He's basically Skyrim's King Arthur!
I find it ironic that Miraak which is the first Dragonborn to be the only ALIVE Dragon Priest in Skyrim
I wouldnt call him alive. Since we are at apocryphia when we read the book. But our soul is there not our body. Thats why if you die there you return to place where you read the book. ( Unless Miraak kills you) I think Miraaks body was already dead.
@@ladyselin35 To be fair, Miraak was stuck in Apocrypha, and during the events of the Dragonborn DLC, was planning his return. Not to mention he does appear when you kill a dragon on Solstheim, so maybe his body was somehow brought to Apocrypha? Because when you kill him, he does become a Skeleton, meaning he would have had some physical form.
And he wasn''t the first Dragonborn. He was the sixth.
@@BotHunterCZE??? Then why does miraak say "at last, the first dragonborn meets the last dragonborn at the summit of apocrypha"?
@@saltop1879 It's true he said that. Im not sure of the order, but there were six Dragonborns before us, I can tell.
Zahkriisos scared the shit out of me the first time I saw him emerge from the water lol
WeAreZero saaaammmme. I didn't even know dragon priest were over there when it happened. so I freaked out so bad. it was a strange jump scare.
same and he still whoops my ass in seconds everytime
i hate that he doesn't mention that zahkriisos is just able to use lightning storm spell on handed casually
Same man, I saw that word of power and about charged across the water to get it and then he popped up and it scared me shitless
I just shit myself, was too low lvl and had no more health potions. 😂😂😂😂
There was this one time I got a really magical moment with Zahkriisos waking up, floating over closely and just looked at me for a whole minute without getting hostile
i see the word lore i click
Does that still apply for...I dunno, My littlest pony lore or something?
Sir Ocelot There is no such word like that
For me it's vore
You: lore
Me an intellectual: loot
DID SOMEBODY SAY LORE
Rahgot's story was the most interesting and disturbing to me, out of all the Dragon Priests, and that even includes Miraak. Forelhost is one of the coolest dungeons in Skyrim since it tells such a demented tale. The idea of forcing all his followers, even children, to commit mass suicide is extremely disturbing. Kinda reminds me of suicide cults like Heaven's Gate.
Astute Anansi I particularly liked the journals from the general that can be found. It was a fantastic passive story telling.
The Alchemist's Note and Rahgot's Reply were what made the whole thing for me.
That and the mass grave.
a cart! bring cart for khal rhagot!
Ahzidal was quite disturbing too. He made Ralis kill 30 Miners to reawaken him.
Or jonestown
Krosis is named 'Sorrow' because that's what you feel if you try attacking him unprepared. XD
Lmao I used bend will on the blood dragon there and used it to kill Krosis haha
I'm not very prepared, but I do have Shadowmere, and Shadowmere end up almost killing it while I'm focusing on the Elder Dragon
@@brianng9765 omg same dude
I fast travelled there to run to the Jagged Crown quest, and I killed the dragon like, oh cool, a word wall and then while the screen gets all dark he comes up and I can't see him and I was freaking out. I did kill him by summoning Durnehviir to help. Anyways that was yesterday.
Nah, that would be surprise. And then rage from all the times you'd die.
Something interesting I want to share here: Ahzidal, Dukaan and Zahkriisos were also known as the 'Acolyte Priests' who joined Miraak in the rebellion of the Dragons. These Acolyte Priests also got involved with Hermaeus Mora and were tasked to guard the Black Books in their tombs.
Graenolf, I loved the fact that you had fun with the story of this instead of just listing facts. Much more enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to more lore videos like this in the future. :)
Cheers, to good stories : )
Graenolf You forgot one. You encounter him during the quest where you have to retrieve red eagles sword.
HumbleSaturn Gaming wait I already retireved red eagles sword before I got a quest and took it to wherever it said in the journal and got red eagles bane
D4ndre G4mez If you read the book "The legend of red eagle" you will get the quest. If you completed it you should probably have fought red eagle which appears in the form of a dragon priest. He just doesnt drop a mask.
D4ndre G4mez
If Apoccrypha holds all knowledge, I wonder why Miraak never obtained any information on how to become Chim?
maybe he's not powerful enough, he can't find that knowledge or hermaes mora doesn't know it, he knows a lot but not everything, mainly just stuff that has been written down or he's observed. Only a few people have achieved chim so maybe he doesn't know, or again just didnt want to let miraak know and miraak never found any information on it.
Swagamaru Nara apocrypha is a realm that is literally a library I'm pretty sure most of its knowledge is lost except to hermaius mora or what ever his name is
Perhaps because Hermaius Mora didnt want him to discover that knowledge and thus become a threat. When you defeat Mirak, Mora himself tells you that he was always aware of Mirak's plans to escape Apoccrypha and is glad that you dealt with him before he became too powerful.
there is also still the possibility hermaius mora never learned chim and was kept secret even to him
he probably does know how. he just probably doesnt have the means. for all we know, it requires this one very specific item, potion, enchantment or ritual that he either cant do alone, or cant obtain while in apocrypha. or maybe he simply doesnt have the raw power yet. maybe that was his plan. to achieve chim upon defeating the dragonborn and escaping apocrypha.
Th first time I started Skyrim I ram off straight after escaping helgen amd started exploring. I found one and tried to fight him, only on level three. No followers, no decent weapons, nothing. After an hour of shouting at the screen I gave up and decided to play the game properly.
Some deserve what they get
Some do not
how you act now may come back to bite you in the grave
What matters is how cool the grave is, for in the future someone will come to desecrate it.
Hyde Lawless If something bit you when you were dead it wouldn't matter. Because you're fucking dead.
R/wooosh
I one-shotted Nahkriin before he even saw me :p Alduin's judgement is poor...
Bozokdraaf I one shot him before I saw him.
Storm Call is op
Bozokdraaf I just ran at him and hacked him up before he grabbed the staff
After an hour of hearing Morokei speak to me and fighting his thralls I was expecting a huge boss fight but I just 3 shot k.o.d Morokei
Can you do that on legendary aswel?
Videos are direct and to the point, you don't act over the top, swear unnecessarily and are extremely natural. Great videos, great channel, that's why I sub'd, keep up the good work
Happy New Year man : ) Thanks for being here.
Graenolf what of the guy with the gold mask you get for getting all the dragon priest mask in skyrim you no the one we're you have to use the wood mask to get it
Finally someone who values the use of a clean mouth (at this hour I can't really think of anything better), there are people that swear so much that it just looses an y effect and becomes another trivial word.
JonatasMonte simp
So... I put my Krosis mask on a mannequin in my house, and then I decided to take it back and put a helmet on it and then I left the house and came back in and Krosis was on the mannequin and the helmet was still there and it keeps multiplying every time I leave my house I have 7 Krosis masks now please help
Sounds like free money
It's happen to me with miraak gauntlets and boots
My azhidaal mask disappeared on a mannequin
It just works
A mannequin in my house copied the ebony mail and all the ebony extras I added. I was stoked.
Imagine having all the masks fused to one
It's name would translate to "FUCK YOU I'M JESUS CHRIST!"
@@SilverGamingFI don't disrespect jesus
@@nautikient2151 He isn't.
@@nautikient2151 fuck Jesus
Konahrik
this guy sounds like he could be a creepypasta or scary story narrator
What about Konahrik? I know we never see the actual priest in the game, but...
Well, it was rumored the Konahrik was Miraak's old mask before he betrayed the dragons.
Kohnariik seems to be a special item granted to champions during dire crises, as it basically requires all of the dragon priest leaders to unlock it meaning that they would all have to meet up and together agree to unlock it for it to ever be used. Either Miraak one had this mask and it was revoked, or it was temporarily bestowed onto Vahlaak to fight Miraak and he had to return it once Miraak was defeated.
It does mean "warlord" after all, and considering how the dragons ruled Tamriel there wouldn't ever be a need for a "Warlord" since there was nothing else to conquer.

The thing about the mask's being destroyed to make the mask and then copies apearing in their place is just bad, XD
Those masks were made by the dragons for their most powerful DP's there are no copies and there is no way the dragons will make copies of them just to be able to make Konahriik,
And there is no way for a shrine that was made to hold Konahriik to make copies of the other 8 masks.
Konahriik was a mask that was used only in the most needed times only by the worthy ones.
Oh and the mask is gone from the present because the player took it from the past ;) that was rather obvious so no need to add that to the theory,
I agree that it might have been a simbol.
I doubt the Dragon cult had one leader that wore Konahriik because the only ones the other DP would have listen two was either a dragon or a dragonborn (closest thing two a dragon)
In short:
Theory A seams the most posible, exept for the mask being gone as I said it was gone because the player took it from the past.
Theory B is unlikely because the DP's only listen to dragons.
Therory C is just rubish XD the thing with the copies it's because of the game if you put a upgraded mask on it and take it back the upgrade is gone like it made a "copy" but that is just a game thingy (not sure if to call it bug).
I think the head greybeard was it

You seem to have literally no idea how the concept of time travel works
My dog actually growled when you said “he is a horror of the air” she gets it!
this ahzidal lore helped me create a walk through in skyrim where I play as a man who was possessed by ahzidals spirit
Sweet concept : )
Graenolf thanks
Man, this was super entertaining! :D I also read (in this "book" that you obtained) that Rahgot also poisoned and buried the children in the tomb to make it more harrowing and disturbing so that King Harald's men wouldn't venture further into the crypt. Wow, this book has everything! I'll be sure to scrawl some quick notes in my own journal in case I go adventuring! :DDD
(Okay but roleplaying aside, I do love the way you did this video. :) )
Ah, you've found my book? You will, of course, take out these dragon priests?
At long last, I will rise.
Graenolf Wait, has this been a ploy this entire time? Have I defeated these dragon priests to allow a new threat to arise?! Alas, I have been fooled!
graenof the dragon priest this seems like an epic battle ....to bad I'm just going to hide in the shadowy corner and cheese arrows
If I had Special Edition on PC, I'd make a mod with a dragon priest named Graenolf. The mask would be Konahriik's model and wearing it would make all spells cost 40% less to cast. I would make it a fight on par with Karstaag in difficulty. In fact, I'd put the key to the area where the fight takes place in Karstaag's inventory. And Graenolf would summon dragon priests and dragons.
Any suggestions for other loot on the body if I ever get Special Edition for PC?
I like the narration, it really gave me the feeling to be exploring tombs with you in Skyrim ! :D
Good : )
You forgot about Konahrik, the mask you find after collecting all the previous 8 masks in the base game. :P It has obviously been used by a secret dragon priest. The name means "warlord" and it has 2 enchanting effects. One is that it knocks your enemies down and heals the wearer, and a very low chance of summoning a spectral dragon priest to fight for you for a short while. This leads me to believe that this spectral dragon priest is in fact him. That he managed to find a gate between life and death and is able to travel between the two. Maybe his name was erased from history because necromancy is such a bad type of magic ?
Probably the OG Dragon Priest that made all the masks in the first place and make them as keys for his own. The only question that I have is where did this powerful dude disappear to after leaving his own mask behind?
Jackson Gray I speculated about that too in the previous comment. Maybe he practiced necromancy, it is concidered a "forbidden" art. Maybe he's the one responsible for the undead dragon priests in the first place. Because the dragon priest that gets summoned by the mas actually raise the dead.
Bernler75 The Dragon Priest in question indeed might be a necromancer that was viewed as an outcast. Similar to Durniviir in the Soul Cairn who sought out the necromantic arts despite that magic being considered as taboo by his dragon brethren.
I wish they made him a quest after collecting all the other masks and unlocking his. Like how the Ebony Warrior was like a final boss to face, the Dragon Priest would be the same just longer to complete. Damn that'd be fun
Taboo? wow necromancy must be worse than daedras considering what those priests are known for.
Jackson Gray I actually found a dead skeleton in the soul cistern that had a Dragon priest dagger and staff next to it.... it could totes be him.
YES lore episodes!! I loved this, it was so interesting. I don’t know much about Skyrim’s lore and I love your channel so it’s a win win! you should totally do more!!
Fun fact: I actually found a few extra pages of the book, and there's two secret numbers: 14 and 15.
14: Konahrik. Name translates to "Warlord". Can only be found after all other dragon priest masks in the main game. Wearing his mask causes your health to be restored under 10% of your health (among other affects, such as Flame Cloak and summoning the ghost of Konahrik himself.). Who Konahrik was isn't clear, but he was more than likely the strongest of the dragon priests.
15: Graenolf. Name translates to "Oyfum". Can be found in Hiqoth. Wearing his mask grants a 20% stat boost in speech, one-handed and enchanting. Very little is known about Graenolf, other than he had a very buttery voice, poetic speech and decent combat skills. The lesser-known 15th dragon priest made it his goal to catalog all knowledge in skyrim for wayward adventurers.
(The location is two words in draconic: "Hi Qoth". I'll let you research what that means...)
I've heard about you and your honeyed words...
You tomb... RUclips!
I love the way you start off your videos. Like how you were speaking as if you were in the game and you just found an ancient book. Youre vibe for these videos is great. keep it up man, love the channel
You literally got me back into skyrim and fallout four. Thank you lol
Hehe : ) Happy New Year bud.
If I remember, Nahkriin was already dead when I got to him. And the staff was already on the portal.
Meh. Probably rats.
I love you Graenolf
Your videos are so great!
It’s not a choice everyone must
We shall steal him
that's it graenolf, as much as I love your videos, it is my destiny as dragonborn to eliminate all dragon preists! *pulls out daedric sword and spellbreaker shield*
Hiss!
You will not touch my master Mortal...Prepare to meet your Maker ! *summons a sword made out of flames*
You'll die log before you step near my Lord! **Pulls out Dragonbone bow and SNEAKS**
I think the dawnbreaker is the only sword fitting to go with the spell shield
* pulls out knife and fork *
Great content man as always! Subbed your channel,you deserve it. I was looking for lore videos on skyrim,seems I've found the best 😃 .
This video was such a treat. I've only recently started watching you Graenolf, but I've found it immensely entertaining.
Awh, yayy : ) The privilege is mine.
glad skyrim vids are still being made, plz continue
graewolf should be a story teller
i accidentally ran into Krosis when i was level 9, and that was one hell of a gritty, frustrating fight
I miss the Skyrim videos but your content has always been and will always be amazing❤️
That last bit of the video, wow. I've been watching your stuff for about a year and just for shits and giggles I named one of my characters Graenolf. On top of that I made him a dude who is not only obsessed with dragons, learning their language, history, everything about them, and even becoming the one true Dovahkiin, but he's also based off of Fudgemuppet's Dragon Priest build.
I just got to this video after slaying Alduin
Love your intros. Keep it up, great channel
U deserve so much more subscribers keep going man!
I just got Hevnoraak’s mask today, and while I was going through Valthume I fell down a hole and suddenly acquired vampirism...even though I’m already a werewolf 🧐
Dude your story telling is awesome. Is epic
you deserve so much more recoginition then you get your videos are really well done and top quality.
that dungeon that Rahgot was in was a fucking nightmare, toomany deathlords....oh God
I never understood how Vahlok who beat Miraak at the height of his power never got a mask plus I dunno how Miraak lost to him
Traolach McScotty Vahlok had a fucking dragon army. Since Miraak hadn't learned Bend Will, Dragonrend or Soul Tear (possibly Dragon Aspect), this was one dragon with a sword versus a whole bunch of dragons plus a wizard. But I agree, Vahlok deserves a mask; maybe giving him a bonus in speechcraft, due to how good of a leader he was, or maybe giving faster shout cooldown, since many draugr seem to have been tongues.
Vicente Temes It's stated that Miraak lost to Vahlok in single combat that makes me think the dragons where not directly involved, perhaps they bestowed more power to Vahlok than the average dragon priest to help him combat Miraak and a Speechcraft Mask that Increases Shouts in some form I can agree with showing his power and leadership
we don't know for sure though, The lore in the elder scrolls changes a lot. Information like this we can only gather from what people tell us, what we see and books. We don't see them fight so we have to rely on legends and books, which are often inaccurate
It's because Miraak is a bitch. That's literally it. Like when you face him after you kill Alduin and he's like "I could have killed Alduin but I didn't care!" it's like a guard saying "I could've killed those Dark Brotherhood types but I was sick that day." He was however the first Dovakiin and Mora wanted him as a toy until he saw that you were better. Note that "Dovakiin" is more significant than "Dragonborn" lore wise.
Without the mask he can shout louder xD
love your videos man just subbed keep up the good work!
This was an excellent video. Creative and Informative.
I love your commentary!! Very entertaining
Oh yeah, I can remember how a dragon and a dragonpriest attacked me at the same time......
and I won the battle.
...HAX!
@@Fr0staX hello
You forgot the most forgotten dragon priest: Curalmil. He's the one you fight in the White Phial quest. Don't forget about my boy Curalmil!
you just got a new subscriber , your vids are soo cool love the enthusiasm thumbs up 👍👍👍
I love your videos. Great job. Just in my opinion you should do a video of the top 5 betrayals.
Subbed, I think you may have just given me a reason to get back into a game I've played way too many damn times..
Edit: I love how the game provides a book describing the lore between Miraak and Vahlok without actually naming who the "Betrayer" was. Probably one of the best ways Skyrim handled a story
Thanks for that. Very enjoyable and fun. Not dry at all. :)
Love your videos! Keep it up!
Love your videos I always stumble on this gym
This goes into my ESLore playlist. Not so many does :P
Good video.
I could see the battle with Vahlok being him testing if you can beat him, and thus succeed where he failed in slaying Miraak.
chill with the poetry, good video
Vahlok is a goat man, went toe to toe with a dragonborn, battle split a large chunk of land from skyrim and came out on top. Even then was a great leader even respected by dragons
I love that little transition jig
i really enjoy your voice, keep up the skyrim videos
Keep up the good work
love watching your video. Do more Skyrim videos if you can
If two vegans fight is it still considered beef 🤔
Gaiden Shinjiii hmmmm....
GS INSIGHTS would it be called Tofu instead of beef?
Sander van Duren yep
Ha!
Tofuckery
love these.
Very good video!
Great Work
Great content,got a new subscriber ^^
Anyone else shit themselves when Krosis popped out of the coffin?
''quickly grab a torch, bring it close'' boom book goes up in flames the end
The word walls that we get our shouts from have some very interesting things if you read it translated
My first encounter with a Dragon Priest was Hevnoraak, and my character was WAY under-leveled to stand a reasonable chance. I had to use everything I could to make sure he couldn't one shot me with his stupid thunderbolts. I had to hide behind pillars, wait until he exhausted his magicka, then bust out two swords and use the Elemental Fury shout and whale on him for a good amount and returning to behind the pillars, repeating this process for ten minutes, because the game difficulty was set on Master.
I still remember the excitement I felt from putting that douchebag down.
I know this is 3 years old, but loved the bit you did at the beginning, just kind of wish you had used actual camera footage of you finding a tome. Regardless props
Very well done
Hey man. Love your videos! I do have a question. What armor is your character wearing in this video or what mod is it? I HAVE to know. It looks so cool and I haven't seen it before. If you could let me know or if anyone else knows, that would be rad. Again, love your work dude!
Do you act? You have a very captivating vocal presence, if that makes any sense.
love what your doing
possibly your most adorable video...
My dude u killed it!! More ppl need to hear the way u narrate. Lmao no lie up until the end I was like in a fuking adventure.
Graenolf is my favorite person to watch videos about Skyrim. He clearly knows what he’s talking about, has fun with it, and makes it not boring. He also does make some jokes (not really in this one lol)
Volsung's mask is the mask my main character wears all the time. The extra carry weight and underwater breathing are good explorer's bonuses...
Why aren't you at 1 million subs yet
Commander Peridot he tries to have fun with his videos and apparently people don't wanna watch that. I do though i'll help him through his adventure too 1 million subs.
TBH my major turnoff is the music at each number in between facts/ segments. It gets very annoying hearing it over and over if you are binge watching.
@@R4V3-0N I like the music... :(
You deserve a medal for the narrating.
Here, have this virtual, invisible Internet one. *gives narrator medal*
Ooo, it smells like vanilla. Thank you friend : )
I had to fight morokei when I was level 18 it took me so long and it was like the first extremely intense battle i had, I also didn’t have a companion so I was very stressed haha
Totally cool!
you know, the first time I ever fought a dragon priest it was Volsung, and I popped up on him while i was riding on a mountainside and since he was completely open I killed him and took his mask and the Word of Power. I actually was on the return Serana quest on Dawnguard. I was so excited.
I appreciate the fact that you modded Arturia as a follower, 10/10
I guess my skyrim was glitched. When I got to that specific room, Morokei was already dead. Also the Wizards weren't making the beams, they were just there coming out of no where, but throughout the other parts of the dungeon, the Wizards were there. Did anyone else have this happen?
For me morokei didn't attack me he just stood there
Makes perfect sense for Ahzdal to summon seekers. A being with such unquenchable lust for power and knowledge no doubt came I to the service of Hermaeus Mora
god i remembered shear point. first dragon priest i ran into and only time my dragon born had to flee to fight another day. god it felt so good having that goal to finish that dragon priest.
The best thing is is that when i literally just started playing skyrim and didnt do the ain quest, no i did thieves guils one. When i was going somewhere quest-related i stumbled upon krosis. Needless to say, i was suprised that his mask was just what i needed, and i was really suspicious why this mask in particular.
I miss these
my first dragon priest was vokun. i went to high gate ruins after doing the greybeards horn mission. i at the time wasn't SUPER strong but i managed to help defeat him with lydia and anska
niice video gundelf
I bet the mask Konahrik is the actual reward to the last Dragon Priest: You the Dragonborn. Chew on that thought
cory brearley how do you get that mask?
@@daargran do you know lablyntrian the morokei mask place there is a small sanctuary like in middle outside the dungeon search around
GP Technologies Mangalore ok thanks 👌🏻
My first was Otar the Mad, also my favorite.
The weird thing is, I found most of these guys by accident outside of their quests. They're actually quite weak, you can usually pick them off with a few shots from a bow. Miraak even went down in under 10 minutes.
This was s great video
thanks for another great video but can u make a skyrim dragonborn theory man
