Though it can be noted that by refusing to help the Dragonborn, they are breaking the sacred covenant that the Blades had made to declare undying loyalty to the Dragonborn, it can be possible that Delphine and Esbern are secretly manipulating the traditions of the Blades to their own ends. They tell the Dragonborn that Paarthurnax must pay for his crimes and be destroyed, and refuse to give any more help to the Dragonborn until Paarthurnax is dead.ĭepending on the player's choice, the relationship between the Dragonborn and the Blades will either be forever soiled or continue to be strong if the latter listens to the Blade's demands and kills Paarthurnax. However, they discover the leader of the Greybeards is Paarthurnax, who was Alduin's main ally during the Dragon War. They reside in Sky Haven Temple after the quest " Alduin's Wall." From then on, followers can become members of the Blades.
However, during the Great War, most of the Blades were slaughtered by Thalmor agents, and any further survivors were hunted and killed.ĭuring the Dragon Crisis, surviving Blades Delphine and Esbern - with the help of the new Dragonborn - restored the order and started to fulfill their destiny as Dragonslayers and guardians of Dovahkiin.
They took orders only from the Emperor himself, and the Elder Council had no power over them.Īfter the death of Martin Septim, the Blades no longer had reason to continue to protect the Emperor, and so they served the Empire as spies instead.
As the Emperor's protectors, they had secret branches all across Tamriel, which gathered intelligence on the Empire's enemies. The first Emperor Tiber Septim, as well as all his descendants, were Dragonborn, and so the Blades came under the service of the Emperors of Tamriel, until the last known Dragonborn, Martin Septim, died. They are featured in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Blades are a group of spies and commandos of an elite Akaviri order that are dedicated to serve and protect the Dragonborn, because of his fate as a savior of the world who will stop the World Eater from destroying it, when the time will come.
