(Leonidas, Maximus, Esbern, and Delphine are inside of Sky Haven Temple)
Esbern: We'll have plenty of time to look around later, I suppose. Lets see what's up ahead
(After climbing a staircase, everyone gasps)
Esbern: Shor's bones! Here it is! Alduin's wall. So well preserved. I've never seen a finer example of an early second era akaviri sculptural relief
Delphine: Esbern, we need information. Not a lecture on art history
Esbern: Right. Lets see what we have here...
(Esbern inspects Alduin's wall closely)
Esbern: Look, here is Alduin! This panel goes back to the beginning of time, when Alduin and the dragon cult ruled over Skyrim. And here, humans rebel against their dragon overlords. The legendary dragon war
Leonidas: You sure know your history, Esbern
Esbern: At least you have respect for history. That I can admire. Alduin's defeat is the center piece of the wall. Here he is falling from the sky. The nord tongues, masters of the voice, are arrayed against them
Delphine: So, does it show how they defeated him? Isn't that why we're here?
(Maximus puts an armored finger to Delphine's lips to shush her)
Esbern: Patience, my dear. The akaviri were not a straightforward people. Everything is couched in allegory and mythic symbolism. Coming from the mouths of the nord heroes, this is the akaviri symbol for shout. But there's no way to know what shout is meant
Maximus: Do you know of any shouts that can make a dragon fall from the sky, Leonidas?
Leonidas: No. At least not yet. I'll have to ask the greybeards if they know it
Delphine: You're sure they used a shout to defeat Alduin?
Esbern: Oh yes
Delphine: I was hoping to avoid having to involve the greybeards in this, but it seems we have no choice
Leonidas: Arngeir is the most knowledgable of the group. I'll see if he knows what shout they used
Delphine: Right. Good thing they've already let you into their little cult. Not likely they'd help me or Esbern if we came calling. We'll look around Sky Haven Temple and see what the old blades might have left for us. It's a better hideout here than what I could have hoped for. Talos guard you
Leonidas: What's your problem with the greybeards?
Delphine: We have different views on how to being the dragonborn to power. And we come to a quarrel
(Leonidas grabs a sword called dragonbane) (It looks something like this)
