The Hoar Father (also written as the Hoarfather[1] or Fodiiz Bormah in the Dragon language)[2] was a philosophical figure that is revered in Skyrim. Not much is known about the Hoar Father but his ancient teachings have been mainly recounted by the ancient Nords, as his words have been documented on various word walls across the province, including on Solstheim. His name is often exclaimed by the modern-day Nords, such as in the common expression "by the Hoarfather".[1]
