Paarthurnax - Tumblr Posts
I'm surprised nobody has asked this question yet, unless I missed it, in which case, my bad.
Martin Septim with his two sons Auriel and Patrizius, the early years of the 4th era.
welcome to my sick and twisted fantasy land where Martin lives and Alduin and Paarthurnax get reborn as his sons.
He isn’t the step dad, he’s the dad who stepped up
Skyrim Dragon HC Dump 2: Paarthurnax Boogaloo
All dragons who survived the dragon war and are still alive by the time Alduin returns are referred to as Old Ones by their siblings.
Because his wings are so badly damaged, Paarthurnax can’t actually fly. He can, at most, jump around and kinda glide, but not actually fly.
While he may look old, Paarthurnax is just as spry as those who were recently brought back to life. Sorta like how age doesn’t affect Steven Universe’s gemkind, but a dragon’s physical form can be permanently damaged.
As dragons can eat if they want, but is not a requirement, Paarthurnax actively chooses not to. Hunting down animals would make keeping his instincts at bay more difficult that it needs to be, and while gliding down from the Throat of the World would be easy, having to crawl back up there would be less than ideal.
While in combat, Paarthurnax generally tries to avoid using the Voice unless it’s absolutely necessary. Because of this, he’s really good at ground melee combat. Because his wings are already too damaged to fly, he can afford to be far more aggressive than his siblings while they’re on the ground.
Teaches Odahviing ground melee combat
Absolutely kicks his ass
Odahviing, while he resides on the Throat of the World, doesn’t follow the Way of the Voice until the Dragonborn directs/persuades him to, or Paarthurnax gives him the ol’ “you can’t just fight everything to prove your point” card if/when Odahviing questions Paarthurnax about his teachings.
That being said, while dragons generally don’t talk much, Paarthurnax and Odahviing p regularly engage in p deep conversations about anything and everything
Paarthurnax admires Odahviing’s fiery spirit, but Odahviing’s impatience can make the “young” dragon frustrated. Paarthurnax teaches - or at least tries to - him to be more patient by meditation and the like, but the moment Odahviing hears his name on the wind, he’s off like a rocket.
It will take time to get him and his siblings to understand, Paarthurnax knows, but he has all the patience in the world. You kind of have to when your well over 7,000 years old.
All in all, Paarthurnax is a good dragon grandpa but he will still kick your ass
THIS ONE DESERVES ITS OWN POST
She's adorable! I love the violet eyes! He/she is getting along quite well with ol' Paarthunax! He/she is so tiny compared to the big dragon.
Just think! Grandpa Paarthurnax!

24 hour and 15 minutes of time tracked between the two pages and it’s finally done. This is Lyrvekka and Paarthurnax’s first meeting, she was born in the greybeards temple, and Paarthurnax could sense her dragon blood immediately. He requested to see her immediately but her mother fought the greybeards on it for a few months because they couldn’t tell her why or who was calling on them. Finally she relented once they assured her she would be protected and would be able to stay with her mother the entire time, resulting in this comic.
Afterwards, the two were inseparable. Every day baby lyrvekka would beg to see him, and Paarthurnax would oh so carefully play in the snow with her until the little thing was all tuckered out. Needless to say she’s not a fan of the blades
Welcome to Dragon of the Day, where I give you your daily dose of dragons. Here’s todays dragon. My favorite, Paarthurnax.
God I love Paarthurnax so much. I love that dulled golden color of his scales. I bet they’d be soft if I hugged him. Speaking of hugs, I bet being wrapped up by his wings would be nice…
Anyways, Paarthurnax is from the hit 2011 game, Skyrim. He does cool stuff like debate philosophy, teach you a new language, and get you to kill his brother. He is pretty epic, I give him a 10/10. Screw you Delphine for trying to make me kill him.
That’s all for today’s dragon. I would say come by tomorrow, but you probably shouldn’t.
