Who is the Hoar Father? | Mysterious Word Wall inscriptions in Skyrim

Drem Yol Lok, braan bovitaan. Today in my study in my home Leaf Rest in Riverwood, Skyrim, we will be turning our attention to the enigmatic Hoar Father, whose wisdom is etched into the dark stones of select Word Walls. In relation to this philosophical figure, we shall also touch on the Atmoran pantheon of old. Is the Hoar Father simply a concept, or is he the legendary Ysgramor? Could he be no other than Shor, The Fox or one of his sons: Tsun, The Bear, or Stuhn, The Whale? Is he an aspect of Jhunal, The Owl? Or even a concoction of all of them? I do hope you enjoy this investigation, dii fahdon, and I hope to have you in my study again next time. But until then, Lok Thu’um.
