I understand they worshiped dragons and revered them as gods. In-game they are much rarer and stronger than regular dragons. Only Ancient Dragons can compare to them(most likely Revered and Legendary Dragons as well). Lore wise, are they supposed to have powers that match or even exceed those of low ranked dragons? The likes of Hevnoraak seem to be far more dangerous than all the dragons in the game save for Alduin.

Discuss.

Well, they're pretty powerful if they were chosen by the dragons to rule over man. I don't think they are so that the dragons can still have power over them.
