Rikke could be there in Soverngarde instead of Ulfric.

I thought she was a Human?

[Divayth Fyr]

Seeing how Redgards, Nords, Imperials and Bretons all are humans, she is one.

And being a Nord, it makes sense she appears in Sovngarde. ;)

As in Imperial Human like Tullius or the countless other imperial humans in Oblivion.

[Beowulf DW]

Nope. She's a Nord. There are quite a few Nords in the Imperial Legion, actually. That's really what makes it a civil war: Some Nords really do consider themselves part of an empire, an empire forged by humans, and they're loyal to this empire.

Is the damage from Flaming Familiar multiplied by the +fire damage perks in Destruction?

I though you can't mix spell (at least until Game Jam shows spell combos).

[Suedars]

As in Imperial Human like Tullius or the countless other imperial humans in Oblivion.

Nope. A big part of her role as Tullius's second in command is to advise him on Nordic customs and how to win over the Jarls.

[Triaxx]

True, you can't mix spells, but he's asking about perks, rather than the spells themselves.

But as far as I can discern from the CK, the answer is NO.

[Silverraptor]

I have a couple of really important questions here.

First, are grand souls the highest ever soul gems can store and are human souls always grand when you store them in a black soul gem?

And, is there a set number of dragons you can encounter in the world? I recently encounterd four dragons in rapid succession from going from one end of the world to the other. However, each time I kill the dragon and move on, I always find an empty dragon burial mound close by like the one where you see Alduin resurrecting the dragon on the main quest when you first encounter the blades. Thats the only reason I think there is a set number. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Yes, no. After you do an early quest (Dragon Rising, the one you mentioned) dragons start randomly spawning. They also scale to level.

[Silverraptor]

So, the empty dragon mounds that I always seem to find close to the dragons are just clever designs to make it seemed "Oh, well heres the burial mound where this dragon was stuck under earth just a moment ago." Is there a correlation between randomly spawned dragons being spawned close to mounds? Because if there was, that would be awesome that the programmers thought about adding that kind of mechanice to the game.

[Dsurion]

Well, as far as I'm aware...

Yes.

and are human souls always grand when you store them in a black soul gem?

Yes.

Dragons at landmarked locations eventually respawn, though it seems that most of the time (IME), if you've already killed a dragon there, you won't get another soul from it. However, randomly encountered/spawned dragons will continuously appear throughout the game.

Again, all as far as I'm aware.

[factotum]

You do occasionally see dragons that are actually spawned from the burial mounds, but they always have names. I certainly never noticed any correlation between the un-named dragons and burial mounds, though--you can encounter the things anywhere.

[Dhavaer]

I think there are some set but unnamed dragons from the mounds; I know I always have a dragon to fight near Sky Haven Temple and there's a mound near there.

There's actually two quests. After you fight and kill Mirmulnir near whiterun, dragons begin spawning.

After you fight and Saklohnir, near Kynesgrove, dead dragons begin resurrecting. This can lead to a nasty surprise south of Riften as you fight the random spawn at Lost Tongue and the burial mound dragon from just in front.

[Knight13]

I've heard that occasionally when you encounter a random dragon it'll be Alduin. He won't come down to fight you, but if you follow him when he flies off you might catch him raising a dragon from a mound.

Dude, that is so awesome.

[Knight13]

I've never seen it myself though, so I'm not sure if it's true.

I've never come across Alduin just flying around, but I have seen him raising dragons from mounds a few times, so that part's definitely true.

[Silverraptor]

So, I need help navigating silverdrift. It seems that every where in there is a dead end and I can't move on past a gate. Some help please?

Is it possible to expose Maven's corruption? I broke into her house and found evidence of a...whatdocallit, the ritual to summon the Dark Brotherhood? But I couldn't do anything with it. At one point, I even tried to assassinate her, but she turned out to be immortal so I had to reload.

Maven is pretty much the main power in Riften--there's nobody there who would dare act against her, up to and including the Jarl. It's certainly not possible to get her imprisoned or anything like that.

[Hazzardevil]

I have a question after having come across something weird about dragons.

Is it normal for people to occasionally find a dragon flying around with a name? Not part of any quests, just given a rather odd name.

It's very rare, there are few ones (so no random generation of named dragons), but it does happen.

There are at least 3 named dragons (not counting any connected with the main quest) flying around + 1 sitting in a dungeon.

There's actually a book about the dragons the Dragonguard (Blades) know of and killed.

And here's the UESP page on dragons. Spoilers, but there's a list of named Dragons on there.
