    They exist. I'm only aware of the Altmeri version but I'm certain that other races have their analogues too.

    There is also a mod adding pipes if I 'm not mistaken, you could get that Gandalf experience. :P

    Ok i want my Main Character to play through the Dragonborn DLC but he is no Dragonborn. I have Explanations for the 2 shouts i will use which are Bend Will and Durnehviir. Durnehviir will be a Necromanic Incantation and Bend will is Taught to Him by Hermaeus Mora. 

    Now all i need is a way to explain the ability to Absorb Dragon Souls. He is a good Aligned Necromancer. Any Ideas?

    Maybe say it is some sort of necromantic ritual you learned from Mora that lets you trap the soul of a dragon or something. I played once a Neutral Evil necromancer who had the Atranach stone from the Aurora stones mod and he could only regenerate magic from slain enemies and nothing else so I also roleplayed it that he was sucking their souls (MK Shang Tsung anyone? :D) through his necromancy and did the same with dragons. Not sure if that helps, gl.

    How crazy is your Necromancer?
    Perhaps he has found a way to soultrap a dragon (make sure to cast in every single fight with a dragon, or multiple times even) and use his own body kinda like a soul gem.
    Harvesting the soul energy for himself in the process.

    Easily combined with Duvain's answer aswell.

    That would be like trying to trap a Grand soul in a common gem. Wouldn't work. Even the Ideal Masters couldn't soultrap Durnehviir.

    Edited the wording a little bit.
    I am now intrigued how the Ideal Masters could perform a soul trap while possibly being unable to leave the realm(s) where the trapped souls will be.
    Can anything be soultrapped while already IN the soulcairn?

    You do have a point though, it is quite possible it could end up destroying the necromancer.
    Wait that sounds familiar? Necromancers destroying themselves in an attempt to gain more power?
    (In this case I wasn't going for the most lore realistic answer, maybe should've added that aswell)

    @Brandon He is Normal, not insane or anything. But a Dragon Soul would need a BIG Gem. :D

    Durnehviir isn't soultrapped, not the way Jiub and the other souls in the cairn are. He is trapped in the Cairn itself.

    Thats why he still has his body. Everything in the cairn is a Soul. Exept the deadra living there like the Boneman etc and Durnehviir. I would say he is actually trapped in the Cairn but not soul trapped
