...Its not the Dragons. : V - Skyrim

Well dragons ARE the threat, but I don't think they just spontaneously formed an alliance and attacked the word because they were bored.

There's Alduin who's probably leading all the dragons, but the question still remains: Why?
It's said that he's Akatosh, but why would he want to destroy all creation? Or maybe is it another entirely different being with the same name? Or there's something else that bought forward all of this?

Okay what is up with the conspiracies? first the conspiracy about the lyrics of the chanting being english instead of dragon language, and now the threat isn't dragons?

It addresses the two conflicts: the civil war (sons of Skyrim spill their own blood) and dragons (the picture of dragons on the wall and the fact that he mentions them inderectly)

I'm going to have to agree that the main enemies are the Dragons, namely Alduin the World-Eater. But, perhaps the whole "King of Skyrim" bit has something to do with the game as well, because during the chanting in the main chorus aren't they singing "Dovahkiin! For the King!", then some other ambiguous words.... :shrug: Maybe it is just "Dovahkiin! Dovahkiin!", which is the most likely of cases, but the words are quite difficult to understand....

What they are saying is actually in dragon it is Dovahkiin dovahkiin and none of the lyrics are in English.

"You should have acted.They're already here.The Elder Scrolls told of their return.Their defeat was merely delayTil the time after Oblivion opened,When the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood.But no-one wanted to believe.Believe they even existed.And when the truth finally dawns:It dawns in fire.But,There's one they fear.In their tongue, he's Dovahkiin:Dragon Born!"It doesnt mention that the threat, anywhere, really, is the dragons...Oddly ambiguous phrasing for such a simiple, obvious event considering the marketing...no? So, if the voiceover wasnt referring to a dragon, since theyd use that word..I wonder who our enemy will be. A dragon? Too easy, they have been avoiding the words. Theres only a few things that such ambiguous words could mean...Its not the dragons that are the threat. The elder scrolls told of their return. Not of the dragons, of the original Empire. The ones who speak the first lines will be the enemies, attempting to stop the descendants of the One (eight and the one divines) from taking their place as rightful heir from the false king of Skyrim.

I agree with you. I was having a hard time figuring out what the main enemy was until I watched the announcement trailer again and connected the words with the picture. afterwords I said to myself.. "duh"
