I just got the legendary edition for the PC today -finally-, and while I was walking up to Dragonsreach, I noticed that the Skyforge's eagle (or hawk, etc.) has glowing golden eyes. It looked really cool and really added to the mystique of the forge. Where does the light come from, I wonder?

Never noticed that. what time was it?

The forge...

No really, I'm not trying to be cute, the glowing eyes are from the fire of the forge

Wait, what eagle?

The eagle statue that's part of the skyforge.

This one.

Evening.

Perhaps... Or is there magic involved?

Well I'll be. Can't believe I missed something like that after all this time.

I imagine it would be a hawk. The Hawk is the animal totem most commonly associated with Kyne, so it is no surprise to me that quite a special place as the Skyforge should have this symbology. I've never actually noticed it before today though.. go figure.

Makes me want to go check out the Silent Moons Camp though now, I wonder if there are any specific animal carvings or totems present there, like the Skyforge.

Maybe thats why the Falmer feared it.
