Grandee Yaghoub (?b - 1E ?)

Grandee Yaghoub, also called Yaghoub the Seafarer, was a Yokudan leader of the Ra Gada circa 1E 808. Among the Ansei who he led were the famous and noble "Yaghoub's Thirteen". He and his warrior-sailors landed in Hegathe in ships they had brought from Akos Kasaz. They brought with them many Yokudan Chargers, famous steeds whose descendants are still highly prized. They soon set sail northwest until they rounded Cape Shira, becoming the first of the Ra Gada to discover the Iliac Bay. Yaghoub decided to make his home there. As they sailed "toward the Steed at dawning of the seventeenth of Second Seed", a watchman spotted a suitable harborage, and Yaghoub declared they would build a city there, calling it Sentinel after the watchman.

Yagrum Bagarn (?b)

Yagrum Bagarn is the last known living Dwemer. Bloated and sick with Corprus disease, he is under the care of the ancient Telvanni wizard Divayth Fyr, in Tel Fyr.

Before the disappearance of the Dwarves, Bagarn was a Master Crafter in the service of the chief Tonal Architect, Lord Kagrenac. Yagrum survived because he was in another dimension at the time, an undescribed "Outer Realm", and has been looking for his people ever since with no success. He has taken some time to record his knowledge for the benefit of races that still live in Tamriel.

Ylgar (?b - ?d)

The younger son of Ysgramor and brother of Yngol. He was possessed of an unwavering spirit that drove his singular prowess to overwhelming feats in war. After they all fled back to Atmora following the Night of Tears, Ylgar went to the massive shipyards of Jylkurfyk at the southern point and commissioned two ships for himself and his brother. He commanded the Darumzu, and his brother the Harakk, which were the names of the two favored stars of their heavens. He became a great recruiter, and brought many fine young warriors to the cause of reclaiming Mereth from the treacherous elves. The Darumzu made landfall at Hsaarik Head late due to a storm, and Ylgar disembarked to discover that his brother had not survived the journey.

Yngol (?b - ?d)

Yngol was the son of Ysgramor and older brother of Ylgar. He was a brave strategist who defeated enemies before they even knew the battle had begun. He was also purportedly the greatest blacksmith the Atmorans had ever known.

After the human city of Saarthal was sacked by the Elves, in an event known as the Night of Tears, Yngol fled back to Atmora with his father and brother. According to Nordic myth, he forged Wuuthrad, Ysgramor's legendary battleaxe, on the deck of the fleeing ship the same night and presented it to his father.

After returning to Atmora, Ysgramor sent Yngol and his brother to recruit the bravest warriors of the land and form the Five Hundred Companions. During the Return, he commanded a ship called the Harakk, but it was lost during the Storm of Separation just before they arrived at Hsaarik Head. It was eventually found along the shore, but Yngol was dead. It was a devastating loss to the Five Hundred Companions. It is said that Ysgramor wept in his grief and slew a dozen dozen beasts, burning them in honor of his fallen son. A barrow-hill was dug in the Atmoran tradition, and Yngol was laid to rest with rites and honors among his clansmen far below the rocky face of Hsaarik Head, the first of the Children of the Sky to perish in Tamriel. Yngol's resting place ultimately determined the placement of Windhelm and the Palace of the Kings, as Ysgramor wanted to be able to view his son's resting place from the windows of his palace.

In 4E 201, the Last Dragonborn explored his tomb and encountered the ghostly shade of Yngol. After defeating the spirit, Yngol's ancient enchanted helmet was retrieved from his skeletal remains.

Ysgramor (?b - ?d)

Ysgramor, "o Precursor de todos nós", foi um antigo rei Atmorano que veio para Tamriel antes da história registrada como um refugiado de uma guerra civil em Atmora. Alguns estudiosos Élficos insistem que Ysgramor foi responsável por "provocações e blasfêmias" indeterminadas que levaram ao genocídio conhecido como a Noite de Lágrimas, quando a colônia humano Saarthal foi atacada pelos Elfos da Neve e todos os humanos foram supostamente exterminados, exceto por Ysgramor e seus dois filhos, Yngol e Ylgar, embora alguns estudiosos acreditem que esse ataque não foi provocado. Ysgramor fugiu de volta para Atmora, reuniu os lendários Quinhentos Companheiros, depois navegou de volta para Ponta Hsaarik e expulsou os Elfos Skyrim e Solstheim, consolidando-se como um "herói cultural" dos Nords. Ele empunhou o machado Wuuthrad em batalha. Já que ele foi o primeiro humano conhecido a transcrever a linguagem Nórdica usando princípios de escrita Élficos, ele é atribuído como o primeiro historiador humano. Por causa de suas façanhas, ele é conhecido como "o primeiro Precursor, o primeiro Homem e o portador das Palavras", e os Companheiros atuais ainda o veneram como seu verdadeiro líder. Seus descendentes governaram Skyrim até 1E 369, quando a morte do Rei Borgas pôs fim à sua linha direta de herdeiros conhecidos. Entretanto, sua linhagem sobreviveu e ainda acredita-se que ele seja a origem da qual todos os reis Nórdicos descendem. Para mais informação, veja o artigo da lore.

Ysmir, the Dragon of the North

Ysmir, the "Dragon of the North", is the Nordic name of kings. As such, any given use of the term could be referring to one of several historical figures depending on context, or even all of them generally. Ysmir was described by Imperial scholars as the Nordic aspect of Talos. Tiber Septim was ordained Ysmir, Dragon of the North by the Greybeards, as was the Dovahkiin over 600 years later. In the Dragon Language, it is "Ysmir, Dovahsebrom".

The first name of Wulfharth was apparently Ysmir, which may be the original source of the term, though some sources treat it as a title for him, as well. Vivec wrote that Ysmir "always appears as a great bearded king", and "Ysmir's beard!" is a common exclamation amongst Nords.
