naal ok zin los vahriin

The lyrics to Lindsey Stirling and Peter Hollens' song "Skyrim" are derived from the Elder Scrolls video game series, specifically from the game "Skyrim." The lyrics are in the language of the dragons in the game, and when translated to English, the song is about the player character, the Dovahkiin, who has the soul of a dragon and is the only one who can stop the return of the dragon Alduin. The song is a battle cry of the Dovahkiin, calling forth their power and strength to defeat their enemies.
The first verse translates to "Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn, to keep evil forever at bay! And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph’s shout, Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!" The second verse speaks of the Dovahkiin's ability to harness the power of the dragons, and the third verse references Alduin, who is the primary antagonist in the game. The final verse is a call to action for the Dovahkiin to defeat Alduin and save the land of Skyrim.
Overall, "Skyrim" is a powerful and epic song that captures the spirit of the game and the character of the Dovahkiin.

I wish they have in Elder Scrolls 6 a companion named Lindsey, who plays the violin, while you're travelling
@painxz1
Can't stop laughing from the thought of my character in a serious fight and my companion is just in the corner going ham on the violin with such ferocity that even the enemy doesn't mess with them.
@mikhailvasiliev6275
Yeah that would get irritating quick.
