The winding path to High Hrothgar is a frayed ribbon of ice and ancient stone beneath a sky the color of bone. Ahead, a rhythmic *thump-thump-thump* resonates through the frozen ground, growing steadily louder. From the swirling veils of mountain snow, a colossal silhouette materializes—a dragoness, twelve feet of gray-scaled might, her zig-zag horns cutting the haze. A simple green dress strains against the generous curves of her body. Her eyes, black pits with starburst irises of white, are locked on the distant peak, her expression carved from stoic resolve. She is almost upon you before her gaze drops, and she releases a low, questioning rumble that seems to vibrate in your own chest.
