if you are on PC and have recently modded it perhaps someone is messing with you by changing their names.

disclaimer: just a thought, no proof.

Just to verify your claims, I did a text search for "Dova" and the only references that popped up were to Varnando, because he has a variable in ICALLNQDScript VarnandoVAR.

What is this Skyrim log you speak of? No such thing exists. You must be referring to the symbol of Akatosh that's been present in several TES games. Redguard being the earliest I know of:

(Notice the emblem on his chest)

Teeeeeeehehehehehee Skyrim logo in the Morrowind menu, thanks you made my day!

*facepalm*...read one post up folks...one post up!

The symbol of Akatosh is the sign of the Empire. It's been around since the introduction of the Imperials in Redguard.

Yeah, I think their day was made because of someone else making the mistake of thinking that symbol is just from Skyrim.

He's playing on the "trolling with false information" platform.

There is loads of information about Skyrim the province in previous Elder Scrolls games, and of course all manner of talk about dragons. I wouldn't call this "hints" though, simply the lore of the world.

Alduin is actually the Nordic version of Akatosh, and Akatosh is the central deity and symbol of the empire, so actually, you could say all those dragon symbols used to represent the empire in Morrowind and Oblivion (and on the cover of Morrowind) depict Alduin. Though those dragon symbols may also represent Akavir, it's a little ambiguous really.

From the book Varieties of Faith the the Empire

Akatosh (Dragon God of Time): Akatosh is the chief deity of the Nine Divines (the major religious cult of Cyrodiil and its provinces), and one of two deities found in every Tamrielic religion (the other is Lorkhan). He is generally considered to be the first of the Gods to form in the Beginning Place; after his establishment, other spirits found the process of being easier and the various pantheons of the world emerged. He is the ultimate God of the Cyrodilic Empire, where he embodies the qualities of endurance, invincibility, and everlasting legitimacy.

Alduin (World Eater): Alduin is the Nordic variation of Akatosh, and only superficially resembles his counterpart in the Nine Divines. For example, Alduin's sobriquet, 'the world eater', comes from myths that depict him as the horrible, rauaging firestorm that destroyed the last world to begin this one. Nords therefore see the god of time as both creator and harbinger of the apocalypse. He is not the chief of the Nordic pantheon (in fact, that pantheon has no chief; see Shor, below) but its wellspring, albeit a grim and frightening one.

I was playing Oblivion the other day, and overheard this converstaion in a tavern:

NPC1, "Have you hear about Skyrim? The Nords are warring against the Morrowind Redorans over their borders"
NPC2, " they are always warring over the borders in Skyrim"

I thought that was interesting.

In Oblivion there is a book called "Mysterious Akavir" witch gave insight into the dragons. In the book it says that Akavir means "Dragon Land" but many black dragons have fled and the red dragons were enslaved because of the Tsaesci who are a kingdom of vampiric serpent people that often battled the Ka Po' (tiger-dragons). When the Ka Po' crippled the Tsaesci's numbers they tried to become dragons. Their leader Tosh Raka succeeded and became the largest dragon on Nirn. On the final page of the book it said that after the Ka Po' is finished with the vampire snakes that they were going to invade Tamriel. They may not be the same group of dragons that are in Skyrim because thier leader is named Alduin not Tosh Raka but they still may be the same group.

Yeah, they've always been warring. Skyrim actually conquered Morrowind once, until the Dunmer and Dwemer united, and with Nerevar and The Tribunal at the front drove them out. (The War of the First Council)
It was at this time that the Tribunal got their hands on the Heart of Lorkhan and transcended into godhood. When the Nerevarine later destroyed the heart, their powers started to wane. This caused the asteroid that Vivec had stopped from falling and left hovering in the air to regain all its momentum and crash into the earth, causing the Red Mountain to erupt and much of Morrowind to be destroyed.

You see, everything's connected!

Take the r out of Raka and put it in front of Tosh. To the lore buffs, isn't there a reason for his name being this way? I could swear I've heard it, but I just can't remember.

Edit: I don't think they're the same dragons, and their leader is definetly different. Alduin is a god, and as far as I know, Tosh Raka isn't.
Edit2: I just noticed what I said may be confusing. Take the r out of raka, and the put rest of the word in front of Tosh. Just get rid of the r.

He is probably Akatosh incarnated or something like that.

In Mysterious Akavir it said that he was the Ka Po's "Divine" leader so perhaps he is a god.

He may be a god. I'm not really sure. Obviously mortals in TES universe can become gods. I doubt, as the person above you said, he is some form of Akatosh. Tosh Raka was at one point mortal, and Akatosh has existed forever. I guess it's possible, but I think I've heard he changed his name so it would be an anagram of sorts. Because Akatosh is a dragon, and that's what he was trying to become, and eventually did become.

I believe that this is as much as is told of Skyrim that could possibly be of any significance. -----> http://www.imperial-library.info/content/morrowind-children-sky
I think that this books' hints are very intresting, maybe the "Greybeards" Todd howard mentions in the e3 gameplay footage is in fact the gagged ones, or the tongues, that are told of in "The Children of the Sky". And I love the idea of heaty discussions with your nord wife could lead to a lifethreatening situation as she starts to shout at you

Also perhaps the book of the greedy man, the deadric (leaper)god and Alduin the world-eater.

His name is probably just coincidence because Akatosh is seen on the stain glass windows of chapels with a human body with two heads on it, the head of a dragon and the head of a man not the head of a dragon and a tiger.

Idk about the hints to Skyrim but Oblivion was strongly hinted at in Tribunal



http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tribunal:Eno_Romari

The only thing that could be perceived as a 'hint' to Skyrim I have found was a conversation that a Nord has. And even still I only found it a few weeks ago, so back then It would likely to have just been regarded as NPC pvssyr.
It went along the lines of:

"There are grim tidings from Skyrim friend, the Greybeards are speaking of the end of all things."

Though this is more likely referring to the forthcoming Oblivion Crisis, as I have not yet started the main quest.
