Dragons and Dragon Breaks

Post » Sun May 05, 2013 4:51 am

I've heard that dragons experience Dragon Breaks differently than mortals do. What is different about their experience of one?

If you subscribe to the theory that Skyrim's dragons are just Akatosh's Jills, they probably see it as extra work.

I would imagine that they, as immortal fragments of Akatosh (that is, fragments of Time itself), might be able to navigate Dragon Breaks without becoming nearly as confused as the standard mortal might.

They being fragments of time would be outside time and would experience it all and none of it,They would witness all the versions of time at the Break at the same time and remember all of it even after the Jills stiched it up...That's my theory.

You mean the theory that's pretty much been shot down and defecated all over? I don't subscribe to it. Nothing about these Dragons seems remotely like the Jills Mk described.

Feminine dragons that mend minutes.

MK himself has said these aren't the Jills we're looking for.

If the masculine Dragons we see in Skyrim are supposed to symbolize destruction or something, and the feminine Jills are supposed to be the menders, could that explain why there are no healing Shouts? Are they the Shouts the Jills use? Could there ever be a Jillborn?

Yes...

Paarthurnax: "I am as my father Akatosh made me."

It's pretty clear cut and repeated over and over. The Dragons are all sons/fragments of the Time Dragon. They're all masculine. They dominate and rule. The Jills are all female. They heal and mend. They are polar opposites.

This just dawned on me... if dragons do not reproduce sixually (and they don't), how can there be "male" and "female" ones? Or is it Mortal Mental Stress ™ at work again? "These are nice, so they're female, and these are a load of trouble, so they gotta be male"...
