* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While the Greybeards are correct in that the Blades' savagery against the Dragons only made things worse and prevented the acquiring of Dragon Allies against Alduin, the fact remains that it was the Blades who tried investigating the reason for the return of the Dragons instead of staying in isolation and meditating like the Greybeards had. Because of the Greybeards' reclusiveness, the Blades had to find out for themselves about Alduin's return.

* TriggerHappy: The Blades are accused of this by Arngeir, who believes they've let blind hatred allow them to commit near-genocide against the species, despite the reality being that some Dragons are non-hostile or even fought on humanity's side during the Dragon War.

* MakeMeWannaShout: As master practitioners of the Thu'um, this is to be expected. The distant thunderclaps and frequent storms around the peak of the Throat of the World aren't natural weather, but the Greybeards practicing. When they summon the Dragonborn for training, the strength of their combined Voices shakes all of Skyrim itself.

* TechnicalPacifist: The Greybeards are pacifists who feel the Voice shouldn't be used for violence. However, they ''will'' defend themselves if threatened first. Given how powerful they are, they're more than capable of moping the floor with anyone who'd threaten them with little effort.


Added DiffLines:

* WorldsStrongestMan: Arngeir is the strongest of the Greybeards, and one of the strongest users of the Voice in the world. To note, he's at bare minimum tied with ''Miraak'' as the highest level NPC in the entire game at level 150.

* UnknownCharacter: Konahrik. It's unclear if the Konahrik mask even ''had'' an owner, and there is no lore relating to who Konahrik was in life, other than the possibility he was the leader of the Dragon Priests of Skyrim, or that the Dragonborn was meant to be Konahrik.

* MonogenderMonsters: All dragons seen so far are male. Justified, as they have no need or capability to reproduce sexually - according to a Dremora, "they just were, and are". That said, female dragons ''do'' exist if you dig deep into the more obscure lore; dragon betties usually spend their, ahem, ''time'' maintaining the timestream at their father Akatosh's behest and have no reason to exist in Mundus.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Morokei is unique among the Dragon Priests in that he's been "alive" for the longest having been resurrected hundreds of years ago whereas all the others appear to only awaken when disturbed by the Dragonborn. As such, he's extremely powerful and has been terrifying Tamriel for ages. He can drain the Magicka from a person from a great distance within his tomb and absolutely trounced Savos Aren along his surviving colleagues when they stumbled upon him in Labyrinthian.

* JerkassHasAPoint: They want to kill Paarthurnax and believe he can never be trusted despite him actively aiding the Dragonborn in their fight against Alduin. Paarthurnax concedes this is a reasonable view to have and that were he in their shoes, he would have the same suspicions.

* WarriorMonk: He is the leader of the monastic order known as the Greybeards, and even though he has spent a millennia mostly in solitude meditating in the way of the voice, he is still a badass dragon and will aid the Dragonborn in battling Alduin when he arrives at the mountain peak.

Make Me Wanna Shout is no longer a trope in and of itself, and what this is describing is not any of the tropes disambiguated by it, but rather Words Can Break My Bones


* MakeMeWannaShout: The original wielders of the Thu'um. According to myth, it was the goddess Kynareth pleading to Paarthurnax, Alduin's right-hand, er, lizard before he defected, that allowed Men to gain this power for themselves to fight against the dragons in ancient times.


Added DiffLines:

** According to myth, the goddess Kynareth pleaded to Paarthurnax, Alduin's right-hand, er, lizard, to defect from his cause, granting access to this power to mankind as well, most notably the Dragonborn and Greybeards, allowing them to fight back against their tyranny.
