During February this year Bethesda released a rather interesting yet abstract competition for their fans to attempt. They were willing to provide the winner of the competition with a lifetime supply of Bethesda/ZeniMax games; a supply that would continue for any game released in the future as well. So what was the competition you ask? To, on the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, 11/11/11, conceive a child and give it the protagonist’s name within the game, Dovahkiin.
Now Skyrim was only released a few days ago and my Dragon is a little rusty, but I believe Dovahkiin means “Dragon born”. Yes? Obviously and who wouldn’t want a sick name like that, right?
And while this competition was intended more so for the laughs and fun, one family took up the challenge and strove to achieve. Megan and Eric Kellermeyer was this very family, and after hearing about this challenge, they gave a quick phone call to their local Stork and ordered a baby to be delivered on 11/11/11.
Thanks to nature and a bit of good timing, the Kellermeyer family grew by one on this very date, giving birth to Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer at 6:08pm. After some quick snapshots of their newborn and some needed paperwork; the family was victorious. And like promised, Bethesda presented the family with the prize.
Congrats Megan and Eric on your new child, we wish you and your new Dragon born the best. We now know who to call when we need help with dragons, and we’re sure you’re eager to hear his first words – shouts.
