Info[]

On the 17th of Last Seed, 4E 201, an anonymous Nord traveler is caught by Imperial soldiers illegally crossing the Cyrodiil-Skyrim border. Being detained and carted off to the town of Helgen for execution alongside a band of Stormcloak rebels - including the rebellion's leader, Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak of Windhelm - and an unlucky horse thief caught in the mix, his execution is miraculously intercepted by a large black dragon. In the confusion, he escapes Helgen alongside Ralof, a Stormcloak rebel that was to be executed. Soon after his escape, the anonymous Nord would soon learn the true nature of who he really is, and the massive scale of what was to come...

Intro[]

(Intro music)

"A long time ago, a time long since forgotten, the province of Skyrim was ruled by the dragons, of whom enslaved humanity. And the dragons themselves were ruled over by Alduin. The World-Eater, the Twilight God, and the Nordic God of Destruction. Men were weak then, and had no Voice, until the goddess Kynareth came down, and convinced the dragon Paarthurnax, the chief lieutenant and brother of Alduin, to betray him, and teach mankind the Thu'um. And with the Voice now bestowed upon mankind, there was rebellion. Man vs. Dragon. The legendary Dragon War. Upon the summit of the Throat of the World, three brave Nord heroes - Hakon One-Eye, Felldir the Old, and Gormlaith Golden-Hilt - challenged Alduin, shouting him down. But this was not enough. Alduin could not be slain by normal means. But the Nords had one last resort: an Elder Scroll, a forbidden object that defied time itself. Using the Elder Scroll, Alduin was banished upon the current of time, with hopes that he would never return. However, Paarthurnax knew better. One day, he would emerge. After Alduin's defeat, the Akaviri Dragonguard launched their dragon-hunting crusade, slaying many of the remaining dragons. But they also knew that Alduin's return was inevitable, and thus, a prophecy was born.

'When misrule takes its place at the eight corners of the world, When the Brass Tower walks and Time is reshaped, When the thrice-blessed fail and the Red Tower trembles, When the Dragonborn Ruler loses his throne, and the White Tower falls, When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding, The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn.'"

Post-Credits[]

In a dark, gothic-esque room (the Castle Volkihar Cathedral), a silhouette with fiery glowing red-orange eyes is seen standing in front of a blood fountain sculpt of Molag Bal. The silhouette then transforms into a beastly, winged form, letting out a guttural shriek. The screen then cuts to black, with the voice of Lord Harkon (Neil Dickson) saying: "The time has come."

  • Strong Violence
    • An excessive amount of blood, and a bit of gore.

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.
  • The story DLCs (Dawnguard and Dragonborn) are not featured in this miniseries. They are featured in their own respective miniseries within McGruder and Spaulding's Skyrim trilogy. (see Follow-Ups)
  • The Dragonborn's real name is unknown. He is just referred to as "Dovahkiin" or "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, iron 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 dragonbone sword, and a dragonplate shield. However, he still adorns his traditional scratched iron helmet. His 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 the Mortal Kombat Legends films.
  • 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.
  • Like in the game, lots of characters share the same voice actor/actress. While in the game itself, having a smaller voice cast made it so Bethesda Studios didn't have to hire a wide variety of voice actors/actresses. This was also the same for the miniseries to keep consistency and faithfulness to the game.
  • 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.
  • The voice actors for the child characters had to be replaced due to their former VAs (Reese Hartwig and Harley Graham) now being too old to voice children.
  • Following this miniseries and its follow-ups, a full-fledged series made by Aaron McGruder and Ethan Spaulding, named The Elder Scrolls: Tales of Tamriel was released a few months after The First Dragonborn.
  • A prequel series, based on the previous game in The Elder Scrolls (Oblivion), released in TBA 2025, not too long after the remaster of the game. See Oblivion: The Jaws of Oblivion.
