"Many have heard the word 'Dragonborn' - we are ruled by the 'Dragonborn Emperors' - but most do not know the true meaning of the word. To us priests of the Order of Talos For us, this word is very kind. In this book, I will try my best to describe the magnificent story about the Dragonborn in history.
Most scholars agree that the term originated from the Covenant of Akatosh, when the Blessed Saint Alessia was given the Amulet of Kings and the Dragon Flame was first kindled in the First Temple, 'Akatosh's Mercy' Seeing the human beings struggling, he took out the precious blood from his heart and used the dragon's blood to bless Saint Alessia. At the same time, he signed a contract: as long as Alessia's clan remained pious to the dragon's bloodline , Akatosh will try his best to seal the Gate of Annihilation and prevent the undead army and the demons from defecting to their enemies - the Ayleid elves who have deep feelings for the demons. These people who have been blessed by Akatosh with the 'blood of the dragon' are simply called 'Dragonborn'.
The rulers of the empire have been involved in this from the beginning - only those with dragon blood can wear the Amulet of Kings and breathe dragon fire (dragon roar). All the legitimate rulers are dragonborn - the emperors and queens of the First Empire of Cyrodiil, including founder Alessia; Reman Cyrodiil and his descendants; and of course Tiber Thay Putin and his descendants, all the way to the present His Majesty Pelagius Septim IV.
However, due to the special connection between the Dragonborn and the royal family, the other meanings of the Dragonborn were deliberately concealed, and were eventually forgotten by everyone. However, scholars and all priests dedicated to serving the god Talos, formerly Tiber Septim, have never forgotten that the Dragonborn are not simply a bloodline - but a blessing from Akatosh. This gift is given in a way that is beyond our ordinary comprehension. Those who become emperors and can breathe dragonfire are naturally dragonborn - breathing dragonfire and wearing the amulet of kings are evidence of this. But is it because they are born dragonborn that they can do the above two things - or is it because of Akatosh's blessing? All we can say is: maybe both, maybe neither - no one can answer these things that only the gods know.
The Septim lineage is obviously all Dragonborn, which has also led to the prevalence of a simplified concept of hereditary inheritance. However, we also know that not all of Cyrodiil's earliest rulers were related by blood. There is no evidence that Reman Cyrodiil is a descendant of Alessia, although he is in countless legends, most of which come from Reman's time, perhaps just to legitimize his right to rule. . We know that the Blade Guards usually appear as royal guards. They first appeared at the end of the First Era when a group of expeditionary warriors invaded Tamriel from the Dragon Continent Akavir for some unexplainable reasons. They seemed to have been looking for a Dragonborn - events at the Cang Yuan Pass hinted at this - and the warriors of Akaviri first claimed that Reman Cyrodiil was the Dragonborn. In fact, it was Akavir's soldiers who put him on the throne (although Rehman himself did not achieve such a title during his lifetime). In addition, there is obviously no blood relationship between Tiber Septim and the previous dragonborn emperors.
Whether two dragonborns can exist at the same time is also an unsolved mystery. The royal family tries to avoid this topic, but the succession of the throne obviously means that there can be two or more dragonborns at the same time: the emperor at the time and his successor. The history of the Blades also hints at this - although little is known about their activities during the interregnum before the rise of Reman and Tiber Septim, many believe that the Blades were There has been an ongoing effort to find and protect those who are believed to be (or may be) dragonborn.
Finally, we come back to the question of what Dragonborn really means. Their connection to dragons is so obvious that this is often forgotten - after all, dragons are a distant memory these days, and we forget that in the early days being dragonborn meant having 'dragon blood'. Scholars believe that Dragon Blood is legitimate, although its true meaning is unknown. Nords tell stories of dragonborn heroes who are great dragon slayers, capable of taking the power of the dragons they slay. In fact, it is known that the Akaviri on the Dragon Continent also hunted a lot of dragons when they invaded Tamriel, and there is evidence that they served as the dragon guards of Reman Cyrodiil (this (words also related to dragons) were still hunting dragons - and they were the predecessors of today's Blade Guards.
I have attached at the end of the article what is called 'The Prophecy of the Dragonborn'. It is generally thought to be derived from The Elder Scrolls, although some believe it was created by the ancient Akaviri invaders. Many people are trying to explain its meaning, and many people believe that some of the prophecies have already happened, and that the 'last dragonborn' is about to appear. As a translator of the prophecy, I have no comment on this, but it just goes to show that Akatosh's gift to mortals has yet to be understood.
When tyranny reigns on all sides.
When the brass tower moves, time is reshaped.
When the three blessings failed, the red tower trembled.
When the Dragonborn lost power, the White Tower collapsed.
When the snow tower shattered, no one was king and blood flowed like a river.
As the Devourer of Worlds awakens, the wheel of time turns to the last of the Dragonborn. "——"The Book of the Dragonborn (written by Amelieni Madeleine, Abbot of Talos Church of Vernon Abbey)".
Gently closing the ancient book that was written in 3E 360, the 21st year of the reign of Pelagius IV, Wu Chen let out a long sigh.
This book touches on the topic of whether two dragonborns can exist at the same time, both implicitly and boldly.
Facts have proved that all of this is academic preparation for the first generation of dragonborn to reappear in Nirn in 4E 201.
"Master, have you made a decision?" Librarian Dawn Warhammer Xili gently adjusted her glasses.
"Easy first, then difficult. Go to the City of Hundred Towers and conquer the other side named..." Wu Chen didn't think of it for a moment.
"Vasuyo." Dawn Warhammer Xili's memory is correct: "The name means 'darkness, monarch, and fire' in dragon language."
"Yes, that's the Black Flame Lord." Wu Chen said with a smile: "He has been imprisoned by the dwarves for thousands of years and serves as the strong man who descended from the Black Flame Artificial Sun."
Legend has it that this giant dragon is not affected by the forced will of the three-stage dragon roar, which is enough to illustrate her great strength.
Master Neloth, Speaker of the Ravenstone Council and wizard lord of House Telvanni, has unlocked the way to restart the City of One Hundred Towers. The lord had previously asked him to find a way to open the Seven Dark Books, but it was obviously no longer needed. Therefore, as long as the city of a hundred towers can rise from the bottom of the sea, the whereabouts of the Black Flame Lord Vasuyo should be found.
Of course, the lord has always had a question in his mind.
Why did the black flame lord Vasuyo, who escaped from the black artificial sun, fly all the way to the city of a hundred towers?
