FrankLeeDeRainged Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 If I'm the dragonborn where did Ulfric learn to shout. Simple question. . . or is it a spoiler thing? Oh yea, do we learn who is the mysterious friend?
Lachdonin Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 A; We don't know, presumably either the Greybeards, or certian noble houses in Skyrim teach it. Unlike the Dovahkiin, on the other hand, it would have taken him years to learn anything. B; Not that i've ever actually discovered.
Brandy1123 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Ulfric talks about it briefly when you engage him in conversation. Reveal hidden contents Also guards and after the war, the Jarl of Solitude even mentions that Ulfric did not kill the King with his voice but used the voice to help kill him. Its more likely he was trained by the Greybeards and learned in the same capacity as a Draugr. As he only knows 1 shout, its highly unlikely he is a Dragonborn. Referencing what the Grey Beards say about using the voice in a harmful manner, they do touch on this. However, in a General Disscussion topic, I don't want to go into more detail. This should really be in the spoiler sections.

Heh heh. y'know the problem with the spoilers thing is unless I know as much as you all. . . then I dont know if I'm asking for some info that qualifies as a spoiler. If I did know, I wouldn't need to be asking. . . Edited September 4, 2012 by FrankLeeDeRainged
Brandy1123 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 LOL, you have trumped my <spoiler> with the common sense card. I bow down to your wisdom. :P :)
Enatiomorph Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Ulfric says he learned from the Greys. Studied with them as a boy.
sinnerman69 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 below in the spoiler tags is from the wiki Reveal hidden contents Ulfric gained the ability to use The Voice by training with the Greybeards, as he says "Any Nord can learn the Way of the Voice by studying with the Greybeards, given enough ambition and dedication."
Moraevik Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I'm pretty sure I know who the "friend" is. You'll get verification of the identity of the writer of one "friend" note early in the Main Quest. Hint -- retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller for the Greybeards. You'll have to read a note from a "friend" to advance the Main Quest and then meet that person. There's no reason to believe that this isn't the person who writes the rest of them.

Except that that person doesn't even believe you are the Dragonborn until you prove it. Notes from a friend are random. (Just like much of the lore.)
FrankLeeDeRainged Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 And 'that' person may decide to have nothing more to do with you unless you kill the individual that has been considerably more help than 'that' person has. . . And the letters keep coming. 1st playthrough I thought it was Ulfric sending them, which turned out not to be the case. . .unless he's sending them from Sovngarde.
