Info
After being caught illegally crossing the Cyrodiil-Skyrim border, an anonymous Nord prisoner is escorted to the town of Helgen to face criminal execution alongside Stormcloak rebels.

Intro
(Intro music)

"Long ago, dating back to the Merethic Era, Nirn was dominated by the tyrannical dov... the dragons. They were all ruled by Alduin, the World-Eater, firstborn of Akatosh, Chief of the Divines and the God of Time. But, one day, three Ancient Nord warriors: Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, Hakon One-Eye, and Felldir the Old, challenged the furious black dragon. Together, and using a forbidden object of time: an Elder Scroll, Alduin was banished in time. The year is now 4E 201, exactly 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis in Cyrodiil. Alduin has returned, and will fulfill his destiny: Devour the World... or, will he? For there is but one mortal he fears... in their tongue, he is Dovahkiin, Dragonborn!

FUS RO DAH!"

 * Language
 * Use of Alcohol
 * Strong Violence

Trivia

 * This miniseries aired on November 11, 2018, which was Skyrim's 7 year anniversary. It was originally November 25, 2018, but was pushed forward for convenience.
 * Some major events are left out in this series, including the "Diplomatic Immunity" quest, which is where the Dragonborn player is supposed to undercover infiltrate the Thalmor Embassy in Skyrim. The dragon battles with Vuljotnaak, Nahagliiv, and Viinturuth are also left out.
 * The story DLCs (Dawnguard and Dragonborn) are not featured in this miniseries. They are featured in their own respective miniseries within Aaron McGruder's Skyrim trilogy. (see Follow-Ups)
 * The Dragonborn's real name is unknown, as he is referred to as "Dovahkiin" or "The Dragonborn" throughout each miniseries.
 * Being animated by WB Animation, the art/animation style is very reminiscent to Justice League, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, and Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.
 * Dovahkiin is depicted as his traditional appearance: The default Skyrim character (A beefy Nord male with dark brownish-blonde hair and light blue eyes), adorning an iron helmet (with the traditional scratch gained during the battle with Mirmulnir), a studded cuirass, steel nordic gauntlets, and iron boots. He wields a steel sword and a banded iron shield, and occasionally, a steel dagger as a dual weapon alongside his sword. In Episode 9, following the peace negotiations, he adorns dragonscale armor, a dragon bone sword, and a dragonplate shield. However, he still adorns his traditional scratched iron helmet. His post-Episode 9 design remains consistent throughout the rest of the trilogy.
 * However, his casual outfit (as seen in the beginning of Tyranny of the Sun) appears to be him just wearing a set of normal clothes and shoes, without any armor equipped.
 * While there is still a fair share of blood and gore, it is relatively tame compared to Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.
 * Robin Atkin Downes, who is Brynjolf's voice actor in Skyrim and in this miniseries, also voiced Kano in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, another Warner Bros. Animation work.
 * Like in the game, lots of voice actors are the same. While in the game, it's an excuse to have less voice actors, in the miniseries, it's used to keep consistency to the games.
 * Max von Sydow, Esbern's voice actor, died on March 8, 2020, at the age of 90, after finishing his voicework for Legend of Dovahkiin.
 * Richard Epcar, who voices Proventus Avenicci, Lokir, and many other characters in Skyrim, is most known for voicing Lord Raiden in the Mortal Kombat series, another Warner Bros. work.
 * The voice actors for Lars, Braith, and Mila had to be replaced due to their former VAs (Reese Hartwig and Harley Graham) now being too old to voice child characters.
