Meditating to Kyne

After completing the Greybeard crowning ceremony, you gain access to the High Hrothgar Library. Meditate in front of the statue of Kyne in the Library to gain new insights in the Voice.

While meditating, your stamina gradually depletes until you enter a trance and the stamina bar vanishes. Count the heartbeats and interrupt your meditation when you are as close to zero stamina as possible; too early and you learn nothing, too late and you may summon angry figments of the Voice! You can meditate as many times as you want.

Learning new shouts

Through meditation, you discover the "alternate meaning" of the first word you have unlocked in each of your vanilla shouts and learn this alternate meaning as a new shout. For each first word you have unlocked in your vanilla shouts, you will learn a new shout!

But that's just the first word. To extend your new shouts with more words, gain the favor of the goddess Kyne. Shouting, meditating and completing quest objectives permanently increase the effectiveness of your shouts (the exact +X% effectiveness is displayed by the Champion of Kyne ability in your ability list) and may grant you a free dragon soul. Eventually the goddess may judge you strong enough to learn the second or third words through meditation... As long as you have those words unlocked in your vanilla shouts, that is.

Remember, you cannot learn the second or third word of a new shout before you learn the first word, and not all three words come from the same vanilla shout. Just because Earthquake's first word is Fus does not mean its second word is Ro. Hodir's Notes in the Library tell you more about each new shout and the words it contains.

Greybeard robes HD

A set of unenchanted Greybeard robes with more polygons than the vanilla robes and the clipping issues fixed. In addition to the standard robes, the Library contains 20 other variants in splendid colour schemes: Akatosh, Dreams, Earth, Harvest, Herma Mora, Kings, Kyne, Moons, Novice, Oath, Red, Rose, Sands, Sea, Shor, Sorcery, Talos, White, Wild, Worms. And of course an optional gag, lest your Voice cause great destruction.

An extra 4 variants can be unlocked as follows:

The High Hrothgar Library

Should you decide to make High Hrothgar your home, the Library contains a bed, permanent storage space and possibly a few secrets... (Don't bring your family, the monks don't like that)

Pillars of the Voice

Scattered throughout Skyrim and Solstheim are these mystic pillars inscribed with draconic wisdom. Each Pillar corresponds to one shout. If you have unlocked all three words of the shout, you can activate the Pillar to gain a blessing that improves the shout. Only one Pillar blessing can be active at any time. When you activate your first Pillar, a quest appears, encouraging you to find other Pillars. Activating your second Pillar marks all of them on the map.

Amulet of Mantras

To make it easier to chain several shouts without going into the menu, this amulet allows you to create a chain of shouts and automatically equips the next shout in the chain when you shout in combat. Create or extend a chain of shouts ("mantra") by wearing the amulet, selecting the desired shout and praying to the statue of Talos in the High Hrothgar Library. A mantra can consist of up to 10 shouts. Unequip the amulet to forget the mantra and start over.

Improvements and bugfixes

Many shout bugs have been fixed and their effectiveness has been increased. See the Readme:
