The term "Dovahkiin," meaning "Dragonborn" in the Dragon Language, refers to a unique individual in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video game. This character possesses the soul of a dragon, granting them the ability to use powerful shouts, known as Thu'um, which can unleash devastating effects in battle. In the game's lore, the Dovahkiin is prophesied to save the world from the return of dragons, particularly the dragon Alduin, who is seen as a harbinger of destruction. Players take on the role of the Dovahkiin, exploring the vast world of Tamriel and completing quests to harness their powers.
