Only Nords can be dragonborn.

I think the most insulting Dragonborn has to be the Bosmer.

I mean really. Bosmer.

Anyways it's easy to reconcile any of the races. It is a TES game afterall. I chose Imperial, makes sense to me because I'm fighting on the Imperial Legion's side. When I played a Khajiit I liked to imagine I was like http://blazblue.wikia.com/wiki/Jubei (aka "The most powerful being in the world" according to the game).

Wasn't Talos/Tiber Septim born in High Rock and then moved to Skyrim? Does that not make him a Bretons?

Too much lore for my digestion so I may have the timeline out of place but High Rock and Morrowind used to be under Nord ownership before even the Empire, and they took the opportunity to secede during Nord infighting when they were too weak and divided to hold onto such territory, yes?

It's not even up to Akatosh. Akatosh has to answer to the gods' gods, the highest being Toddith Howardoth if my memory of the lore is correct.


No, It's Todrik Von Howardsonn I believe...

In some provinces he is known as T'od Au'ard.

true, but I have to admit I'm having trouble doing the MQ as anything other than a Nord. Just doesn't feel right to me.


Actually, an Argonian would make a much better dragon-born, for obvious reasons...Nords on the otherhand, are much less scaly but are much more horny though...

But On a serious note, I agree somewhat as my race was (And still is) a dunmer when I was on Morrowind....Further irony is that I'm a dunmer fighting for the Storm Cloaks. (I want to usurp the leader though, due to the fact he was an A****** for not manning up and going toe-to-toe with the late king!)

LOL @ Steampunk!

The Dragonborn can be whatever race you want.

Though, to me, the Dragonborn is always going to be a Nord. It...just makes sense. My CoC was Imperial. The only hero that wasn't the race of the game's setting was my Nerevarine, who was a Khajiit female.

You're all wrong.

There has been one character who has been present at the time of the Nerevanine, the champion of Cyrodiil, and the Dovakhiin.

And he was the only one who even knew of the lost shrine of Boethiah.

He is the one.

And he waits now for calipers.


M'aiq isn't immortal. It's not even the same M'aiq in every game, as he looks different each time. In Skyrim, M'aiq says something like, "My father's name was also M'aiq. My father's father too..." so M'aiq is a lineage of Khajiit, not the same one.

If dragons first appeared in Skyrim and the first dragonborn, Tiber Septim (Talos) was a Nord, then only Nords can be dragonborn. If you are going to über roleplay than I don't see how anyone other than Nords can be dragonborn.



Dude.

That's a school of logic called "anticipating the conclusion"

Whether or not Talos was a Nord only proves his racial makeup, and his being the first dragonborn proves nothing about who came after. You're assuming that since for example the Septims were Dragonborn then that means only people of his race can be one too

Not only can any race be dragonborn, anyone besides a Septim can be too, and there can be more than one at a time

^This.

My Argonian has bloodline connection to the Neveraine (in his story), thus is Dragonborn.

Becoming a dragonborn is not hereditary. It is a divine blessing/curse and has nothing to do with genetics: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Book_of_the_Dragonborn
