Maybe involving a lusty, lusty argonian maid...

no we are a dragonborn and i know that the septim are but if we are why the hell should we be emperors ??????

and by the way oblivion question why cant you wear amulet of kings(i know why you are not a septim) and mankar camoran can????

and the ones who [censored] the empire whas the high elfs they killed the emperor lol in a mithic dawn altmer assassin killed the emperor

Time actually makes it more likely that the player is related to Tiber (or anyone else). If Tiber's son had an illegitimate son we don't know about, and his son had a few kinds, and their kids had a few kids... Kind of how http://web.unife.it/progetti/genetica/Giorgio/PDFfiles/ajhg2003.pdf.

Anyways, like the other's have said, being Dragonborn is not something you can inherit from you parents, and it is extremely unlikely that the hero will canonically be a descendant of Tiber. You can always roleplay him/her as such, of course.

At the end of Oblivion, the Blade say that they will wait for a new Dragonborn to come so, no, they are the same.
So if other heroes (like Neverine) where Dragonblood then the Blades would not have to wait for 200 years.

But I also think that you think of "descended" in the wrong way. I do not think Dovakiin is blood-descended. I think Dovakiin is more of a spirituel-descended.

That's only confirmed between men and mer. Khajiit and Argonians are neither. According to "Notes on Racial Phylogeny and Biology, Seventh Edition", there's stories of children of these unions, but no confirmed cases.

The reference to Nerevarine being dragon born comes from this Nerevarine Prophecy:

From seventh sign of eleventh generation,
Neither Hound nor Guar, nor Seed nor Harrow,
But Dragon-born and far-star-marked,
Outlander Incarnate beneath Red Mountain,
Blessed Guest counters seven curses,
Star-blessed hand wields thrice-cursed blade,
To reap the harvest of the unmourned house.

But it has been interpreted to mean that the person who would become the Nerevarine was born in the Empire, and was a servant of the Empire. Not that he/she had the soul of a dragon.

Tiber Septim achieved CHIM and became Talos. He shares a collective oversoul with Wulfharth, an avatar of Shor and an early Nordic god-hero, and Zurin Arctus, the Underking. Shor is the Nordic version of Lorkhan. Therefore, Tiber Septim could reasonably be an avatar of Lorkhan, who dreams himself into existence in a way similar to Dagoth Ur. It is possible that Dovakhiin is also a minifestation of Lorkhan, or that Lorkhan some how appointed a random person to be Dragonborn.

Most likely, Tiber Septim and Dragonborn are spiritually "related" (connected would be a better word).

There are no 'lines' of Dragonborn. There are mortals touched by the Divines, and given a dragon's soul and the ability to wield the power of a dragon and near the strength of same.

Tiber Septim's bloodline was unique, as they became the guardians of Oblivion. That line was dinked around with by the Divines to =keep= the qualities that made them fit to hold the Amulet of Kings and keep the barrier in place. There is no blood connection to any of them outside the Septim dynasty; a Dragonborn has appeared when the Divines felt it needful, and only then. It can't be faked, passed by blood or magic to another. It is literally a potential appointment from the Gods. And I say potential because the chosen one had to learn to harness the power in them; some did. Others did not. Those who did found their names in the Elder Scrolls. Those who didn't.........did not.

Um, thats kind of impossible since the whole Septim line was killed in Oblivion.

no he is a normal person with the sould of a dragon

Again, I think that you think of "descended" in the wrong way. I do not think Dovakiin is blood-descended. I think Dovakiin is more of a spirituel-descended.

Nah, DragonBorn means those who are gifted/favored by the gods.The Septims can read glimpses of the Elder Scrolls in their sleep, the Nevarine was the reincarnation of the Nevar who is technically a diety(Is worshipped by the ashlanders), and Dovahkiin are gifted with the ability to slay dragons/absorb their souls.The Septims are one of the many groups of DragonBorn.Usually, DragonBorn is usually refering to Akatosh, but the Nevarine was made a reincarnation by Azura(and was gifted by Tiber Septim with the Luck of the Emporer), and the Dragonborn is probably gifted by a god.


(BTW Tiber Septim is a god for those that didn't know, the Nevar was given the Luck of the Emporer by him at Ghost Gate.)

Septims = Imperials
Main Guy in Skyrim = Nord
Nord =/= Imperial

Imperial=Nord, The Imperials are descended from ancient Nords that came to the continent and conquered Cyrodiil.

the septims are the only family of dragonborn so yes :mohawk:

so your related to a septim :mohawk:

No.

The Septims have dragon blood running through their veins, you have the soul of a dragon also Septims died off with Martin, so no they aren't related.

Also the dragonborns aren't all related.

Seeing how she is a khajiit and the septims were imperials, i very much doubt it

The children take the race of their mother.

But humans and khajiit cannot produce offspring with eachother.

That's Men and Mer. What I know, Beasts can't have children with Men/Mer or other Beast for that mather.

tiber septim's original name was talos.. and talo came from atmora... which is where the nords originated from.

so... the septims kinda started out with a nord, more or less.

Edit:

sorry, i recall a developer confirming that beasts would work the same way, a long time ago when someone asked about it.

The Septims are *A* family of dragonborn. The original GameInformer article suggested they were but one of a number of such bloodlines, if I'm recalling correctly.

you never know with those lusty argonian maids running around

no they arent descended from them. Give me one piece of solid info saying Dovahkiin is a direct descendant of the (spits on ground) Septims

and whats with all the mer/beast/and non imperial possibilities of being a Dovahkiin
