'Where were you when the world stopped turning http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Break?'

**Warning, potential spoilers for those who have yet to finish the main quest**

I would like to ask a question about the Time Wound that has been slightly bugging me for a while now, I also want to get it cleared up since I'm in the midst of writing something

Ok, so the Time Wound is considered to be the first and the smallest Dragon Break to occur. For those who don't know or remember, Dragon Breaks are shattered time. Now, during the MQ Alduin's Bane we are told to read the retrieved dragon Elder Scroll at the Time Wound, but there is a slight problem with that *unless I'm a dummy*... Elder Scrolls are unable to look back upon the time in which a Dragon Break occurred. So how is it we are able to view the event and learn the Dragonrend shout? Is the reason we are able to comprehend the shattered time event due to the Dragonborn being a Shezarrine? Or am I a dummy and I'm simply missing something painfully obvious

Elder scrolls can probaly do anything.

They cannot, hence this thread

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Where_Were_You_..._Dragon_Broke From Mannimarco's testimony:

That last group seems to indicate that Shezzarines are immune to the effects of a Dragon Break.

The Numidium can cause Dragonbreaks.

Tiber Septim used the Numidium which was gifted to him by the Vivic, Almalexia and Sotha Sil. Which when the Numidium is used, it causes Dragonbreaks and it was designed for that purpose to cause Tamriel and its people to surpass the limits of mortality; seems it never suceeded for the purpose in which it was built. I think there are 3 in existence, I could be wrong. One was destroyed in Morrowind which wasn't even finished. But I don't think Elder Scrolls can just cause a Dragonbreak on their own. I think Kyn used it as a conduit to send Alduin through time in order for the Last Dragon born to banish him from his physical form.
