Those quotes comes straight from the CS for TES IV. It is listed under tamrielgateresponses.
-There is grave news from Skyrim. From falkreath to Windhelm, the foul deadra attacked the land.
-I hear all of Skyrim is under siege. The daedra lay waste to the Old Holds, and there is little to do to stop it.
-There are foul tidings from Skyrim. The Greybeards speak of the end of all times.

What will you do with those events? Nothing or make it not bad after all. Could this be the reason why the Nords are invading Morrowind. Will the player be able to close the oblivion gates there?

There are very similar rumors for all the other provinces in regard to the oblivion invasion too. Yes

The player will need to complete the Oblivion main quest in order to play the Skyrim main quest. So if the OB main quest is completed it means the Oblivion gates all over Tamriel are closed and problem solved. :) One of the reasons why the player will need to complete the OB main quest is that he has to be the Champion of Cyrodiil, which makes him/her famous enough for some important people in Skyrim to ask for his/hers aid.

But that's just for the main quest...

If you choose not to start the Skyrim main quest you will simply encounter random Oblivion gates all over Skyrim that you will be able to shut down.
It hasn?t been discussed officially, but there might be a few towns in Skyrim that will be partially ruined in order to show the effect of the oblivion invasion.

In the Skyrim main quest you will not encounter any Oblivion gates (probably), but you will encounter some daedra who were stranded after all the Oblivion gats closed.

About the Greybeards prophesizing the "end of all things" it COULD be in relation to the oblivion invasion, but then again it could be something completely else.

Sounds cool!
I don't know anything about the greybeards, so they just could be some rambling prophets or so or some spiritual councilors.

The greybeards are something like monks/prophets/wisemen; they are indeed the spiritual leaders of Skyrim. They live in silence on the Throat of The World (the highest mountain in Skyrim). They live in silence because their voices are so powerful they can destroy whole mountains with a word (which is sort of weird since that rumor says "The Greybeards speak of the end of all times").

They spoke with sign language of course. And you can't say that's not speaking, otherwise I'll drag you before the UN Human Rights comission. Ha!

Uh uh, you just gave me a cool idea!

What if the Greybeards can write runes with their fingers directly ON the air by using some sort of magic... you know, like magical runes made of light hovering in mid air.

We will never pull it off of course but it's still cool. :D

Actually for the player to have any conversations with a Greybeard the only realistic options are to make the conversations telepathic (just a voice with cool effects without lip synchronization) or to simply say that they can speak with a normal voice when necessary (which I think is a lame solution because the notion of them being so powerful they don't have a normal voice is awesome).

Why can't they just be like everyone else and write on paper and stone lol? I don't know any of the Skyrim quests but I gather that the player will need to speak with them for quests (and don't spoil it for me I'm just a worldbuilder!)
Or I guess they could be telepathic. But I think perhaps something like they leave written instructions, or hand them to you. I mean they're probably not the most interesting men to hold a conversation with anyway so maybe they *could* just hand you some instructions and send you on your way each time you need to do something for them. OR perhaps they have someone they speak through...kinda like an interpreter

Or if you attack one on the mountain they're on, they yell, and a rockslide comes down the slopes to kill you, and it will be a loud, booming voice that will blow your computer's speakers.

Yes, I like that idea. Say the Greybeards are able to talk to each other in a voice only they can hear, but they choose a normal person who has the special talent of hearing that voice as an interpreter. That way we get to make an interesting interpreter NPC with a creepy sounding voice! :D

If the are so powerful, why couldn't stop they the invasion of skyrim? By bringing a mountain down on some oblivion gates.

That would probably cause more problems than it would solve, I mean, how many Nords would be killed by the mountain? And really the Daedra would just end up summoning new gates on top of the moved mountain.
