"...Hm. I doubt any of these guys were this "Dragonborn" person. So it stands to reason that it's not out the question for any ordinary person to learn this "Thu'um". Cronic said to himself, glancing over the surrounding terrain, as though he were trying to spot anything that would seek to do them harm.

"...That being said... The cultist called Miraak the "One true Dragonborn." And Dragonborn are naturally gifted in the ways of the Thu'um, absorbing souls of slain dragons and using it to bypass the years of practice. And before you ask, I heard someone mention it during my travels. Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked about it. So if a handful of Cultists know the Thu'um, it's likely they learned it from their boss." Cronic said, as he turned to look at Aria.

"...Seems like we're gonna need a trip to Solsteim if we want to figure out just what's these guys' deal is. Either way, one thing at a time. Getting the client to the border safely." He said, as he glanced at the blade of his freshly sharpened sword, before sheathing it.
