Gormlaith Golden-Hilt was an Atmoran hero and Tongue in the Merethic Era. She was an accomplished warrior; at least four dragons fell to her blade during the legendary Dragon War.[1] Gormlaith, Felldir the Old, and Hakon One-Eye were the leaders of the rebellion against Alduin,[2][3] and the first mortals to learn how to wield the Thu'um, apart from the Dragon Priests.[2][3][4] They were taught by Paarthurnax.[5] During the Dragon War, Hakon and his allies sought the help of Miraak, the First Dragonborn, in defeating Alduin, but Miraak refused to help.[6] Undeterred, together, they fought against Alduin atop the Throat of the World. Finding that they had no means to achieve a final victory, the companions successfully sent the wyrm forward through time using an Elder Scroll, though Gormlaith was killed before they could banish him. Thousands of years later, the spirits of Gormlaith and her compatriots assisted the Last Dragonborn in the final battle against their nemesis in the realm of Sovngarde.[2][3] She also aided the Last Dragonborn in their other battles, when called to their aid with the Call of Valor.[1][7]
NotesEdit
- Gormlaith refers to Hakon as "brother", though it's unknown if this is literal or figurative.[2]
