"I am Sahloknir! Hear my Voice and despair!" —Sahloknir

Sahloknir was a dragon whose name means "Phantom Sky Hunter" in the Dragon Language.

Sahloknir was among the few dragons to survive the Dragon War era. He was slain by the Nord hero Jorg Helmbolg in the First Era, with his remains being gathered by the Dragon Cult and buried in a dragon mound east of Kyne's Grove. By 2E 373, local legends still claimed him to be the dragon buried near the town, and the Blades recorded him in their atlas of dragons as being deceased by report. In his long dormant state his mound received some attention from other groups later on such as the Dragonguard, who built Dark Water Temple in the mountains right next to it. By 2E 582, the Keepers of the Grove erected a shrine to Kyne atop the mound, where they performed various prayers and rituals to the goddess.

Upon his return in 4E 201, Alduin began the process of resurrecting the many dead dragons buried throughout Skyrim by the Dragon Cult in ancient times. Sahloknir was one of the earlier dragons to be brought back to life, where his resurrection was witnessed by Delphine and the Last Dragonborn. Alduin saw the two and commanded Sahloknir to kill them, but the Last Dragonborn slew Sahloknir and absorbed his soul, proving to Delphine that they truly were Dragonborn. Having had his soul devoured by another dovah, Sahloknir was killed permanently and cannot be raised again.
