Kyne or Kaan (Dragon Language: K.svg Aa.svg N.svg), also called the Mother of Men,[1] is the Nordic Goddess of the Storm. She is deemed the warrior-wife of the god Shor by the Ancient Nordic Pantheon and is held in the highest esteem by Atmoran and Nord hunters. It is believed by Nord tradition that Kyne leads souls to the afterlife of Sovngarde, earning her the moniker of Kiss at the End.[2] She has most commonly been referred to as Kynareth, her name in the Imperial Pantheon, since the end of the Merethic Era.
According to ancient Nordic legends, the "Elven Giants", harboring bitterness against the god Shor for having created the mortal plane of Nirn, conspired against Kyne's husband and brought about the god's demise at Red Mountain in the Dawn Era, dooming Shor to the underworld.[3][4] Rain and storms, natural phenomena associated with the goddess, are said to have first begun to occur after these legendary events.[3]
Kyne is considered the Mother of Men, as her breath upon the Throat of the World is said to have formed the races of Men from the remaining Wandering Ehlnofey at the end of the Dawn Era, and her daughters are believed to have bestowed upon them the gift of the Thu'um, or Storm Voice, giving the first Nords the ability to stand against the Dragons in ancient times.[3][5] She called upon Paarthurnax to instruct mortals in how to use the Thu'um, turning him against his master, Alduin, the World-Eater.[6]
Although she is uniformly known as Kynareth of the Eight Divines by the Fourth Era, the Dragonborn learns that the goddess is still revered by her ancient name of Kyne among traditional Nordic hunters, such as Froki Whetted-Blade. When questioned about his insistence on referring to his goddess as Kyne, the elderly woodsman states:
Those sycophants in the Temple would call her Kynareth. Just a pale shadow of the truth, like all the Temple Divines. Kyne! Blessed Warrior-Wife. Shor's widow, sacred to any true Nord hunter. She's the mother of men and beasts, and her veil is the storm.
This dialogue will prompt Froki to offer the "Kyne's Sacred Trials" quest, an ancient Nord hunting ritual:
It's an old Nord Tradition, a test to prove your worth in the eyes of Kyne. Show that you're a hunter and no simple butcher. Kyne teaches us to respect the beasts and blesses the hunter who will face their champions. True Nord hunters are those who survive the Trials.
Completing the Trials will result in Froki bestowing Kyne's Token unto the Dragonborn.
The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller
At the conclusion of "The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller" quest, the Greybeards formally recognize the Dovahkiin as being of the Dragonblood. In the greeting ceremony, the Greybeards utter the following words in the Dragon Language:
Long has the Storm Crown languished with no worthy brow to sit upon. By our breath we bestow it now to you in the name of Kyne, in the name of Shor, and in the name of Atmora of old. You are Ysmir now, Dragon of the North. Hearken to it.
Kyne's Peace
Kyne's Peace is one of the Dragon Shouts the Dragonborn can learn while journeying Skyrim and is notable for directly invoking the name of the goddess. The Dovahkiin articulates the full shout as "Kaan Drem Ov" (translating to "Kyne Peace Trust"). This Thu'um will cause nearby wildlife to neither attack nor flee from the Dragonborn.
Kyne's title, "Kiss at the End," refers to the ancient Nord belief that the goddess of storm is the one who leads souls to Sovngarde, the realm of her "deceased" husband, Shor.[2] This legend seems truthful, for when the Last Dragonborn first enters into the Nordic afterlife, they find themselves embraced by gale winds that guide them to the Hall of Valor.
Kyne's motif as mother goddess of the Nords and the personification of Skyrim is expressed repeatedly in-game; from guards telling criminals they have "committed crimes against Skyrim and her people" to the Daedric Prince Boethiah calling Skyrim "a beautiful and harsh mistress", while lamenting that "her people cling to such a petty notion of honor."[7]
"Kyne's Peace" is used as the name for both a shout and a track in the Skyrim soundtrack by Jeremy Soule.
Kyne is Old English (Anglo-Saxon) for "kin."
As Kynareth
Kynareth, called Kyne by the Nords, Kin by the Kothringi[UL 1], Khenarthi by the Khajiit and Tava by the Redguards, is a goddess of the Nine Divines. She is the strongest of the Sky spirits and is the deity of the heavens, the winds, the elements, and the unseen spirits of the air. Patron of sailors and travelers, Kynareth is invoked for auspicious stars at birth and for good fortune in daily life.[1] In some legends, she is the first to agree to Lorkhan's plan to invent the mortal plane, and provides the space for its creation in the void. She is also associated with rain, a phenomenon said not to occur before the removal of Lorkhan's divine spark.[2] She is often associated with Zenithar, as Zenithar's craftsmen use products provided by Kynareth's natural world. Thus, one cannot worship Zenithar without acknowledging the power of Kynareth.[3]
Kynareth is the only one of the nine divines to not have a chapel dedicated to her in Cyrodiil, though she does have an altar to the west of the Imperial City. It should be noted that all of nature can be seen as Kynareth's chapel. [4] Kynareth at one point had a champion by the name of Bourlor, whom she had blessed with arrows that would never miss their mark, though in some cases it would take years before the arrow finally hit the intended target.[5]
Kynareth is the mother of the demigod Morihaus[6], who helped Alessia drive the Ayleids from Cyrodiil and establish Nedic rule. Alessia supposedly communed directly with Kynareth during these events, and received visions from her concerning the coming of Pelinal Whitestrake[7]. She later supposedly sent rain to wash away all the blood from Pelinal's campaigns against the elves.[8]
In Skyrim, Kynareth is known as Kyne, and she is believed to be the wife of Shor[2]. The Throat of the World is considered to be her sacred mountain[9]. She is also cited to have gifted the Thu'um to the first Nord heroes[2] by sending Paarthurnax to teach it to them,[10] and is thus a central object of worship for The Greybeards and their Way of the Voice.[9] In the fourth era, many Nords have come to refer to her as Kynareth, and there is a temple of Kynareth in the city of Whiterun. the Gildergreen is said to be sacred to Kynareth.[11] However, there are still those in the countryside who refer to her by her traditional Nord name, and set others on the path to complete her sacred trials.[12]
In Elsweyr, Kynareth is known as Khenarthi. The Khajiiti creation myth states that she was part of Ahnurr and Fadomai's first litter. They gave her the sky, "for what can fly higher than the wind?"[13]. It is said that when Lorkhaj died, she hid herself into a storm until her brother Alkosh came and comforted her.[14] The Khajiit believe that she is a messenger for Azurah,[14] and carries the souls of the dead to the Sands Behind the Stars.[15] This only applies to True Cats, though; Bent Cats get dragged to the Dark Behind the World.[16] It is said that when Alkosh's body was scattered on the West Wind, Khenarthi found out and flew across the Many Paths to put Alkosh back together.[17] It should be noted that Khenarthi is sometimes referred to as male,[18] even though other Tamrielic cultures tend to depict her as female.
The Yokudan version of Kynareth is known as Tava. She is said to have lead the Yokudans to Herne after the destruction of their home continent of Yokuda.[2] She is worshipped by many sailors, and there are shrines to her in many of Hammerfell's port cities.[2] She was a significant deity to the second wave of Ra Gada settlers from Yokuda, who were named Tavans after her.[19] Goshawks are sacred to Tava.
The Lord's Mail is said to be associated with Kynareth. It is said that whenever Kynareth deems the wearer unworthy, it will be taken away from them so that it can be found by a new hero[21]. Some time before 3E 427, it was acquired by the Imperial Commission in Ebonheart. It was stolen from there in 3E 427 by Furius Acilius, but the Nerevarine retrieved it and returned it to the commission.[22]
The Boots of the Crusader were Kynareth's gift to Pelinal Whitestrake for his fight against Umaril the Unfeathered. After his death, the Boots were lost to history until they turned up in Kynareth's Grotto, where the Divine Crusader found them after proving themselves worthy by not fighting back against an attacking bear[23]. Said crusader later used them to gain access to the Mace of the Crusader.[24]
The Ring of the Wind is another item that is said to be sacred to Kynareth. It was supposedly owned by an acrobat named Kisimba Spring-Snow, who always landed on her feet, except when she landed on the feet of others.[25] In 3E 427, it was in the posession of a wizard named Galmis Dren. After receiving an assignment from the Imperial Cult, the Nerevarine slew Dren and took the ring for themselves.
