    No. Absorbing a Dragon's soul is a Dragonborn's thing and requires Akatosh's blessing.

    Shouts come from Kyne and do not need to have a Dragon's blood to be learnt. In the past (no clue about ESO time), there was even a college in Markarth to learn them.
    My characters:
    Main and crafter: A Breton magicka templar named Erwann Sorril
    Alt 1: A Bosmer sorcerer named Tuuneleg
    Alt 2: An Imperial dragonknight named Gaius Tullius Hastifer
    Alt 3: An Argonian vampire/nightblade named Observe-le-Xanmeer
    Alt 4: A Nord werewolf/dragonknight named Sigurd Hurlevent
    Alt 5: A Breton sorcerer named Gilian Sorril (he's Erwann's younger brother)
    Alt 6: A Khajiit nightblade named Jolan-dar
    Alt 7: A Nord warden named Sigurmar Hurlevent (he's Sigurd's younger brother)
    Alt 8: An Altmer templar named Oioriel
    Alt 9: An Argonian stamina Warden named Danse-avec-les-Rainettes
    Alt 10: A Redguard templar named Neemokh af-Corelanya
    Alt 11: A Nord stamina sorcerer named Olga Écoute-Vent
    Alt 12: A Breton magicka Warden named Ian Sorril
    Alt 13: A Dunmer magicka necromancer named Ilmoran Dren
    Alt 14: An Orc stamina necromancer named Norgol gro-Borziel
    Alt 15: A Nord magicka necromancer named Thorgen Givresang
    Alt 16: An Imperial magicka dragonknight named Publius Valeirus Hastifer (Just call him "Valerio" - he's Gaius younger troublemaker of a brother)
    Main in NA (For collaborative events): A Breton magicka nightblade named Titouan Sorril (long-lost brother of Erwann and Gilian)

    Not sure if you really need Akatosh's blessing.

    Yes, the 'thuum" is not intrinsic to all Nords, and must be learned in a long process. But Nords do still have an inborn ability to "Battle Cry". As seen in Skyrim's racial skills.

    OP really shows little to no knowledge of ESO classes and ES overall lore.
    "Yesterday while searching a barrel in vVoM I found a lemon. Best drop of the whole run."

    Protect the weak. Heal the sick.
    Treasure the gifts of friendship. Seek joy and inspiration in the mysteries of love.
    Honor the Earth, its creatures, and the spirits. Use Nature's gifts wisely. Respect her power. Fear her fury.

    Do feel free to lookup the Nord racial skills in Skyrim any time.


    I have already edited them below the OP.

    Wouldn't make sense from the games main story point of view unless a non dragon born and shout.

    All Nords have the ability to "battle cry" in battle. (Which admittedly, is different from thuum)

    Everyone can learn to use the Voice.

    In Skyrim, Ulfric Stormcloak says: "Any Nord can learn the Way of the Voice by studying with the Greybeards, given enough ambition and dedication."

    However, he also says: "I spent almost ten years at High Hrothgar, learning the Way of the Voice."

    Ulfric knows 2 shouts: Unrelenting Force and Disarm. 2 shouts in 10 years.


    Personally, I don't think that leveling up to level 50, which our characters have spent doing everything but training with the Greybeards or meditating on words of power, count as the equivalent of training in the Thu'um.

    Every Nord has the inborn racial ability Battle Cry, which is not the same as a Thu'um.

    I was interested, so I checked and the Imperial College in Markarth was founded by Tiber Septim (so after ESO) to return the Way of the Voice to the ancient and honorable art of war. Prior to that, it seems to imply that the Greybeards gradually overcame the other militant schools of thought thanks to Jurgen Windcaller's mastery of the Voice. There were a lot of Skyrim's warlords that were tongues, but Jurgen Windcaller had a massive crisis when the Chimer defeated the Tongues, so he started up the pacifistic Way of the Voice.

    Thanks for pointing out the Imperial College in Markarth. That's cool!
