Sorry if this has been mentioned elswhere.

I read somewhere,i forget where,that the dragonborn is chosen by a god or gods.
Could anyone point me to some info as to what god/or gods created or chose the dragonborn.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Could it be lorkhan/shor?

The Dragonborn choose their own way.

It said that they are chosen etc by a god or gods,then trained by the greybeards,if i remember right.
So which god or gods,have chosen him/her. Someone who is against akatosh/alduin.
I need to find more info as i can't remember where i read this,could do with a little help here.
A point in the right direction

I'm like 90% sure your an avatar of shor, so i guess shor chose you

Thats what i was thinking too,which is why i mentioned lorkhan.
Also if you look at the skyrim map on the GI website,where todd gives a tour,there are a few places that say shor...something or other.
I would like more input or detailed info on this matter,if possible.
Thanks for the reply

The nords love them some shor, the elves hate him. I'm not really the best person to ask about this. I think he gave the world free choice, uncursed the nords, and shortened the orcs lives in the process. hes had other avatars, talos represented him in the imperials pantheon.

The gods gave some mortals unique power in their voice

It would pretty much have to be shor, no other et'ada would challenge Alduin I wouldn't believe. Plus, you pretty much are going to be an aspect of him.

I think the PC is going to be a Shezzarine of some type in this game. It just makes sense. Like you said, what other power could or would stand against Alduin?

Just to toss it out there.. it could be Akatosh. MK made a post once talking about how, despite them being the same being, Akatosh and Alduin could scheme against each other.

It does tie in with being dragonborn. Hmm.

Yeah....i need search and read more,but is must be shor.
If it his shor,the have all dragonborns come from him?

This may sound a bit stupid,but i need to look into this properly.
I think it was "lady N" that posted something in the skyrim thread.
Anyway,for some reason,it got me thinking. I need to look into this more,but i may as well mention what i'm trying to find....maybe other's already know or could help.
I'm trying to find a link between these beings/people.
Leaper king=lord dagon ( he cannot invade tamriel ) his birthplace.
Sep ( the waving man ) = lorkhan/shor.
Mankar Camoran. ( he could wear the amulet of kings )
Jyggalag.

Is lorkhan working with dagon/or using dagon?
For now i believe ( or think i do ) that these characters are important or have clues as to what may happen in skyrim.
It may seem a bit stupid or wild,but i thought i'd put it out there.
Would like to know what others think...whether my link/idea is stupid or whether they see a connection with these characters.

The Dragonborn are more like dynasties then guys chosen by gods. Now were their ancestors chosen by gods is a different question... it is possible that they got the powers in a different way and people believe that they were chosen by gods.

I doubt we will have a definitive answer before Skyrim is released.

Ok.....i've just read cipher 8 thread "the story behind skyrim-theory 2.0".
Which i must say is a fasinating read,really enjoyed it.
Now in that thread i think it was "black hand" he said ,that akatosh and lorkhan are one,being the same ( well thats how i saw it anyway ).
But what about the story of "The eating birth of Dagon".
Where The demon leaper king = Mehrunes dagon ,and Sep ( the greedy waving man ) = Lorkhan/shor hide parts of the world from alduin/akatosh/time eater.
It doesn't make sense that he is both,if that is indeed what black hand is saying here.
Also how was mankar cameron able to wear the amulet of kings?
Will dagon play any further part,he's been important a few times.
Shot in the dark here...what about jyggalag...does he/sheogorath ( the shivering isles expanson ),play a part.
From what i remember,Jyggalag is now free to roam oblivion again,thus to me indicating he is now seperated from sheogorath.
Don't the other daedra fear his power/order?
Sorry a few questions here i know,but what do others think?

They're two sides of the coin.


The Amulet was an Ayleid device, Mankar's Ayleid blood allowed him to take it. He also believed he could, and so he did.

Still doesn't make sense to me ( the two sides of the coin thing )....a coin is one thing,with two faces/two sides,but still one thing.
To me "The Eating-birth of dagon story" indicates they are seperate,not the same ,not as one....thats how i see it.
Leaper king ( dagon ) and sep ( lorkhan/shor ),are hiding parts of the world from alduin/akatosh/time eater.
Telling me they are not as one,the same/ or the same coin.
You know what i mean.

They're one, as one coin has two faces, or one duel has two opponents.

They're a torus intersecting with a plane.

I do not accept that Akatosh and Lorkhan are related, not even close

Good for you.

Is Alduin, and Shor twin brothers? Correct me if I am wrong, but in think I read somewhere that they were.

I don't know.I'm getting confused.
I need to read more,but find it hard to take some of it in ( hurts my brain )
But for some reason i cannot get sheogorath/jyggalag and mehrunes dagon out of my head.
Those two to me,seem really important some how ( i don't know )
Is sheogorath or jyggalag -lorkhan,or part of lorkhan.
I'm going off what happened in oblivion and the shivering isles,then looking into the skyrim part.
Think i'm just confusing myself....but dagon and sheogorath/jyggalag always pop in my head.
Is there anyone else who's thinking what i am...or am i stupid?...lol.
Could do with a point in the right direction....would be appreciated

What are you thinking?

To be honest i'm not sure.
Maybe that sheogorath is lorkhan or part of him.
I have no proper theory about this yet...like i've said i have a hell of alot to read/find yet.
But i can't get dagon and sheogorath/jyggalag out of my head.
Cipher 8...did a thread called " the story of skyrim/theory 2.0"...which was great read,but i don't recall everything about it.
I have to read things a few times,sometimes to get a grasp of it.
Anyway,from what i remember about is thread/theory " which is good",i don't remember him mentioning dagon or sheogorath.
So i wondered why he came up with what he did without mentioning dagon and sheogorath/jyggalag.
I'm just looking at it simple at the minute,before i get too deep and maybe realize i'm not getting anywhere.
In a nutshell: I'm thinking or wondering why sheogorath/jyggalag and dagon are sticking in my head.
And i'm now thinking: is sheogorath-lorkhan ,or a part of him.
Because of what happened in the game oblivion and the expansion shivering isles.
What happened in the isles,must or maybe have an effect on skyrim in some way ( thats what i'm thinking ).
Hope i haven't confused you too much.
