This question comes up all of the time in my mind while playing Skyrim: why in the world of Nirn would Ysgramor even have a shield if he's already got a massive battle axe, and, even more importantly, how would he wield it? Is there like a secret arm strap that you can hook a shield onto so you can wield bi-handed weapons and a shield? Or were the ancient Atmorans just superhuman Nords that could wield bi-handed weapons one-handedly? (Sissy nowaday nords)

I'm sure i'm probably just looking too hard at this, but it's one of those Auriel's-Shield-and-Bow incidents that Bethesda just failed to explain.

I have to admit, I am fairly new to Skyrim as an individual game. If I am completely overlooking something, send me to go do my homework.

Enlighten me... if you dare.
