When he arrived at a small clearing in the forest he saw two groups of men fighting alongside two horse drawn carts.

He hopped off his steed on the side of the path and ordered herВ to stay, he grabbed his staff and his legendary blade known as The Foehammer (or Glamdring in elvish tongue), he took it from a camp of three mountain trolls, it glows blue when orcs are near, forged by High Elves in the second era.ДЄs he went into the forest off the road the commotion got louder and louder, the sky darkened as clouds covered the already setting sun, he wispered a spell into the head of his wooden staff and a magical blue-white light formed to brightenВ his path. He decides he will get there before nightfall and rest, maybe ask about any dragon sightings.ДЄs he neared the Nord village, he heard a large commotion off the road a bit, in the off chance it was related to the dragon he'd heard about, he had to check it out. Gandalf reached in his pack on the side of his horse and pulled out a tattered map, on it he saw a small man settlement called Helgen, he was less than a day away, so long as he stays course. In his search, he didn't find any dragons, but only noticed large holes that appeared to be some kind of burial sites, that were empty, he suspected large scale necromancy, and worried a large group of men were involving themselves with powerful black magic, as one man couldn't possibly ressurect such a large beast by himself.

When Gandalf arrived on the Northern coast of Skyrim, he bought a horse and headed inland to look for any signs of a dragon.
