Dragon Crisis



The Dragon Crisis was a time in Skyrim when the World-Eater Alduin rose from Sovngarde after his first defeat and started resurrecting dragons. Unfortunately for him, this is also the time when the Dragonborn rose and was able to defeat him.

Background
During the time of the human rebellion of the Dragon rulers, three heros were able to defeat Alduin using an Elder Scroll. This prompted the dragon to return to Sovengarde and regain his strength.

Battle at Helgen
Alduin returned from Sovengarde during the Civil War. He attacked Helgen just as Dovahkiin was about to be executed for crossing the border into Skyrim. Through this he saved not only the Dragonborn, but also Ulfric Stormcloak, allowing the civil war to continue.

Death of the First Dragon
The Dragonborn escaped from Helgen and eventually ended up in Whiterun. They went with the Jarl's housecarl and some guards and defeated Murmulnir at the Western Watchtower. This was the time where they figured out they were Dragonborn, before becoming Thane of Whiterun. They then went to the Greybeards for training.

Hunt for the Elder Scroll
After training the Dragonborn found the last remaining members of the blades Esbern and Delphine. After finding Alduin's Wall in the Skyhaven temple they returned to the Greybeards, and met with their leader, the dragon Paarthurnax. Paarthurnax sends the Dragonborn to find an elder scroll.

The First Battle With Alduin
Once the dragonborn had aquired the elderscroll they traveled back to the throat of the world and discovered how Alduin manged to come back. After the dragonborn looks into the elder scroll, he fights Alduin with another dragon, Paarthurnax. Together they nearly defeat Alduin, but he escapes back to Sovengard.

The Final Battle
The Dragonborn convinces the Jarl of Whiterun to allow them to use Dragonsreach as a prison for Odahviing. They then ride this dragon to the portal of Sovngarde. After defeating a dragon priest they go to Sovngarde, and teaming up with some of the Heroes of Sovngarde, defeat Alduin once and for all during the Battle of the Tongues.
