In an interview with Polygon, game designer Juan Echenique revealed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Adventure Game will take place “25 years before” the events of the video game, with certain non-player characters from Skyrim appearing in the board game as their younger selves.


With a passing familiarity of the alphabet, you can now learn the following common words, which are listed in Dragon first, and then their English equivalent.The upcoming board game adaptation of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will take place before the events of the original video game. Full Shouts are mastered with the discovery and activation (by spending stored Dragon Souls from slain Dragon foes) of three-word phrases. While most have direct English-letter equivalents, some represent sounds English uses two letter to represent, such as "th" and "ch". The Dragon alphabet consists of 34 distinct runic symbols. Barrows are often found to have Thu'um walls. The player gains the words and shouts by reading them mystically off curved carved walls in dungeons and certain above-ground sites. There are 24 shouts (of what we know), comprised of one, two or three words, as one continues to learn the language with the help of the Graybeards atop High Hrothgar. One learns these abilites by raiding dungeons across skyrim and learning new words that are carved into the walls. The player actually learns the language in order to gain the ability to do "shouts". The Dragon Language, properly known as Thu'um, is the means by which dragons, and in fact the Dragonborn, use to breathe fire and frost attacks towards enemies.
