Question
After killing the first dragon and becoming Thane of Whiterun, the Jarl suggested I visit the Greybeards to learn more about the "power of the voice".
I could see High Hrothgar was on a nearby mountain top on the map. And there were enough hints with the "seven thousand steps" to make the connection with the high peak where High Hrothgar is located.
However I could not find a path to the top. Eventually I noticed the quest marker pointing to Ivarstead. A friend told me this is where I should go.
How was I supposed to learn about Ivarstead, and what am I even doing there? I can't find any quests in my log that refers to it. I do not remember anyone at Dragonsreach mentioning it either.
PS: Also what added to my confusion is this: as I fooled around with a new character, upon returning the Dragon Stone, I saw for the first time Delphine at Dragonsreach discussing with Farengar. There was also a book on the table listing various settlements, possibly giving me useful information about areas on the map. On my original character, I never saw Delphine there, and this book is not there on Farengar's table either. Is this a bug?
Answer
Once you get to Ivarstead, the quest marker moves to High Hrothgar.
It's just the Developer's saying, "This is where the path starts, so go here first, otherwise you won't be able to make it up there. Unless you have a horse, then you can probably run right up the mountain."
