So the greybeards in High Hrothgar.Are they the same greybeards that met tiber septim? No thats not possible,i mean they are mortals? i am curious and confused about the greybeards.Are they supposed to be that live forever kind?? And how many greybeards has it been in the world of elder scrolls?
I want to know more about this..

The Greybeards are not immortal, if that's what you're asking. The greybeards are a monastic order that lives atop High Hrothgar, and follows an ideology known as "the way of the voice." This ideology was created by their founder, Jurgen Windcaller, a powerful tongue (Thu'um user) who advocated the way of the voice as an alternative to the use of the Thu'um in war-making.

"Graybeard" is just a title. They're the same group that met Tiber, but not the same individuals.

Mastering the Thu'um in seclusion like that, studying it and understanding it nonstop every single day... It warps you physically. It doesn't matter if you are male or female, Nord or Sload. The longer you spend in scholastic seclusion on High Hrothgar, the more you feel it and in doing so become accustomed to it. Your hair loses its luster, your face begins to itch. And then it passes from your mind, like a half formed dream upon waking up. Years later you happen to be picking up a silver bowl knocked off of the table by some careless Dragonborn and you see your reflection for the first time in what feels like an entire kalpa.

You've changed.

You've become one of them.

A Greybeard.

I heard old Angeir was once quite the comely young lady in days not too far past.

ive heard others say the same,

Hmm just had a thought, when you absorbed the knowledge of the shouts they teach you do the grey beards lose that shout?

Also believe i read somewhere that the tongues could basically teleport with the thu'um

I don't think they're lessened by the experience. You aren't absorbing their souls, per se, as much as they're sharing themselves with you... which makes the whole process uncomfortably kinky, imho. Bunch of whispering old men living in seclusion ontop of a mountain who want to 'taste of your voice'? Pardon me, I do believe i'm going to go work for the elves now.

I couldn't stop giggling during Dovahkiin's first session at High Hrothgar. Had just finished watching The Highlander series. Same thing, really, except no superviolent electrical explosions and flying skulls.

Oddly, in the way they just give you their Thuuming knowledge, it's instead like the cartoon series. Huhm.



immortals chasing each others heads, complete with or---smic convulsions
Then agaiiiiin, the kidseries's version was "Two immortals holding each others swords."


AHHH

The "taste of your Voice" line made me doubletake as well, hah.

I was far too busy creaming my pants because I finally got to meet some mythic Graybeards and they actually lived up to their reputations to notice any creepyness.

I expected them to be a little meaner, actually. The whole 'shouting wulfharth back to dust' thing just gave them an 'angry-old-man' vibe for me. Generational differences, maybe.

For already had the transformation begun, so great was her zeal

*user was banned for this post*

Or they didn't intend to do it:
Wildcatting bursts into the High Hrothgar monastary.
Graybeard A: "Hi!"
Wulfharth gets blasted to ash.
Greybeard B: "What did you do that for, us stupid [censored]?"
Greybeard A: "Holy [censored] the Thu'um's stronger than I thought!"

It's just their breath.

Their creepy old man breath, that tastes like old onions and cheese.

And you're just svcking that [censored] down.

So the ground isn't shaking when they decide to formally acknowledge you as Dragonborn, you're just trying valiantly not to violently retch?

A High Elf talked to the Greybeards no problem during Tiber's era, but maybe they used sign language. Also, Argnier is the only one who won't blow people up.
