In the world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, "Dragon Shouts" are powerful abilities that allow players to unleash unique effects using the Thu'um, or dragon language. These shouts are learned by discovering ancient words of power, often hidden in ruins or taught by Greybeards, a group of monks dedicated to the mastery of the Thu'um. Each Dragon Shout consists of three words, with each additional word increasing its potency. Players can use these shouts in combat or exploration, providing advantages such as dealing damage, controlling enemies, or enhancing movement. Mastering Dragon Shouts is a key aspect of gameplay in Skyrim.
