Having done the Skyrim questline so many times in my tests to see if I would get that annoying Visual C++ crash or not, there’s something that never really pulled on my RP bone until recently.<\/p>\n
You are Dragonborn, and you have the blood of Akatosh, which makes you literally half-dragon, half mortal. You are literally, one of his sons, even though you don’t have wings, or even the power to transform.
\nHow you got Akatosh’s blood, is still a mystery. Was it a blood transfusion before birth? Did your mother know you would be capable of great things and let Akatosh inject some of his blood into her womb which went into you? Or were you raised up by Akatosh? Again, the answer is not there.<\/p>\n
Why were you made mortal, instead of dragon? There are multiple answers. But here’s the top five.
\n1. Because your father, Akatosh, needed you to bring down the first born of Skyrim; Alduin. But you don’t know this until later on in the game. Akatosh also knew what sadness that would have to be done, of you having to kill his children to become stronger. But he knew it was a needed sacrifice to save Skyrim.<\/p>\n
2. When you’re “tasked” to kill the master of the Graybeards after the peace treaty. Aengir(whatever his name is) tells you that “they had no other choice but to follow Alduin’s rule”. You being mortal, you knew Alduin was a threat and needed to be put down, because you’re not so easily convinced like a lesser dragon, who’s only thought is ‘kill all mortals by breathing fire\/ice on them’.<\/p>\n
3. The second encounter of Alduin and the first time he talks to you in Kynesgrove, he says “such arrogance, for you to take the name of dovah”.<\/p>\n
4. Think about the word “Dovahkiin”, which is Dragonborn in Draconic. We know that ‘dovah’ means ‘dragon’. But kiin… could mean ‘brother’. When someone says you’re kin, means you’re one of them.<\/p>\n
5. And the 5th reason which is plainly obvious, when Paarthanux gives you the ability to breath fire and you do, he says how it’s been so long “to have speech with one of my own kind”. If it’s not obvious enough, he’s talking about the fact you can speak like a dragon.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the fact you have the blood of a dragon, this means, Alduin is… your winged brother! Bum bum bum!<\/p>\n
So, where am I going with this and what was the point of making this stupid post? It’s two reasons. 1. Dragon Fanatic. \ud83d\ude1b 2. Curious. Again.. “:P”
\nThe end of Skyrim when you talk to Paarthanuxx. When you pick the option about how he had to be put down, he will say “he was my brother once”. He mentions earlier, how he used power as his birthright, that should had been for ‘our father Akatosh'”.
\nWhen he says ‘our’, does he mean dragons only, or dragons + you? Since you have the blood and the voice of a dragon, that makes you a blood brother. So… he must be talking about you as well, yet he never directly says it. Only feeling krosis(sorrow) for himself.<\/p>\n
And so, that’s why I feel the Dragonborn, you, even though you can’t fly, you’re still the father of Akatosh and the brother of dragons. You’re also the youngest.
\nAlso, all dragons are jealous of you. The fact you can live in a nice warm house and they have to sit outside in the rain\/snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
