Through the frozen tundra of Skyrim, a lone warrior steps forth. He’s tired, with only the metallic sounds of his armour and heavy footsteps for company. It’s then that he hears the taunting; a marauder chief charges with a battle-axe in hand followed by a host of bow-wielding minions. Such arrogance is foolhardy, rewarded only with a burst of flame from one hand and a blade to the gut from the other. Avenging their fallen master, the villains fire shots from a distance. But this man is the Dovahkiin, ‘Dragonborn’… and so the opposition succumbs to the flurry of fire and steel. As he glances over the bodies of the fallen and loots all he can carry, a terrible sound hails from above – a blood dragon approaches. Equipping his sword and fire-resistant shield, the Dragonborn is not unprepared. He stands against his foe and proudly utters the words of Unrelenting Force, ‘Fus Ro Dah!’
