Every so often a courier gives me a letter from "a friend" talking about word of my Thu'um and not everyone is ready for the return of the dragonborn. Am i missing something? Who writes these?

The courier says it's a he, so it's probably Arngeir.

I once had the note as I returned to Whiterun after killing the first dragon at the watchtower. When no-one knew I was Dragonborn except Irileth and the guards.

But in that time, someone found out about it, wrote a note, found a courier and had it delivered as I entered the city.

Beats UPS and FedEx by miles!

I guess its one of those things better left unexplained.

The Ebony Warrior. He wants you strong enough to send him to Sovengarde

Kyne or Hermaeus Mora.

M'aiq

Nah, M'aiq's a liar.

As was his father before him,etc,etc!

Why, it's Barbas ofcourse.

Who else?

Seriously though, I assume it's one of the Greybeards.

I'd put my money on either Arngeir or Esbern.

Why would it be the Greybeards? You can just ask them for words of power. And even then they seem hesitant.

I'd say it's Farengar.

Obviously Todd Howard.

Its a mystery. At least im not the only one who's thought that.

Svens mom. All she does is sit at her loom quietly observing. Shes old enough to know where some walls are located and pegged you for DB the moment you walked into riverwood after surviving a dragon attack. You then either ratted on her whining man child son or became a family friend. Eitherway she likes you and doesnt want a dragon destroying volnerable riverwood.
