Like in elder scrolls 4 Martin hade a suit of armor only a king is issued i wonder if it will be like that in skyrim?

I would be very surprised if the dragonborn became king.

will form my understanding the locket of kings can only be used by a dragonborn wo form that logic alone our dragonborn should be named the new king cos they have not hade real king in 200 years

Haha! No, I think it is highly unlikely we will become the king.

Well, the Septime line were all dragonborn (it's genetic) but that wasn't the sole reason they were emperor (It's an empire, not a kingdom). It was because they were in that lineage and the Emperor has to be a descendant of Septim or else it's no longer the Septim Empire. I think the Septim Empire is gone for good now and it will be the Mede empire (or whomever might overthrow him) from now on. He's just as much a real emperor as the Septims, just a different Empire.

I certainly hope the Dragonborne (Player) doesn't become King, that would make transgenders surgery required for Female PC's.


Seriously though, no, Pretty sure we as the Dragonborne get our Special Armor (Pictured in the Wallpaper of this very forum) but that'll probably be as far as it goes.

As I already said in a similar thread, I hope you can forge/craft your own Dragonborn armour.
Btw. Welcome.

The Dragon Born isn't going to become king/queen. There would be a HUEG mess with the lore. Was he/she Nord, Breton, Imperial, maybe even Khajiit? They'd need to fix this, like they did with the Warp in the West. So no, most likey it won't happen.

They still need a way to place the MC out of the public image so that (s)he becomes obscure and only know for his/her actions. Niverine took off for Avadarki, and the CoC became Sheogorath.

With the new lore that just came out (last couple months) we learned that there have been many dragonborn families, we are just the last. Were all the others kings too? No, perhaps Mankar Cameron was a dragonborn since he wore the Amulet of Kings. But no we won't become the emporer, or even the king/queen of Skyrim. Sorry :/ the player character is always just some random hero, and always is called that history.

First off what makes you think the dragonborn will ever be king/queen? If I were to interpret that as "Do you think the dragonborn will get a special set of armor after finishing the main quest?" I would say probably, or perhaps even before you are done the main quest, as a preparation to fight Alduin.

What happens if he becomes King and Queen?

So he's both king and queen?
would that make him a cross dresser or unisix?

I dont care if i become King or Emporer or not, i just dont want to be pushed to the sideline with some minor Dude jumping into action while Defeating the Boss in 20 Seconds and i feel like an Idiot for Wasting my 80 Hours and Months of Gameplay just to be told that Im the Hero for saving the City for doing Absolutly NOTHING and yet they Reward me with some Special Armor witch seems Useless because im pratically done with the Game. :toughninja:

Well in a way thats what i was asking. Now you've just gone and added more questions though. Still no answers

I kinda hope you have to become king/emporer to unite the lands for the arch demon wait a sec I mean the dragon god thing lol I love how it was handled in x-pack for elder scrolls 4 were you become the madgod you would go out and do dutys to lands i liked that alot i hope once you become king/emporer it opens ton more side quest i love side quest in elder scrolls games i do agree with you on one thing i never liked the followers you got elder scrolls 4 they were pretty useless but at that point you so uber you can take out a battalion by you self you won't need them lol

I don't know perhaps its time for change and it looks like you the PC has been rised by estabon one of the last blade's so you might have been groomed to become a king

Being king/emperor is a whole different type opf gameplay. Firstly you have practically infinite resources so you have all the money and items you need and there's no point in looting. Secondly, a kings main duties would be mundane stuff like public appearances and things which bare no resemblance to TES gameplay like organising squadrons in war. It would also change your interactions with NPCs dramatically and I doubt they'd ever arrest you for anything other than serial murdering. You could go into a shop and take their legendary item and there's nothing they can do about it because you're the king. And then they'd have to implement a massively complex dynamic politics system and we'd end up with an RTS instead of an Elder Scrolls game.


His name is Esbern and he did not raise you, he saves you from execution at the beginning of the game and tells you about how you're the dragonborn and have to defeat Alduin, and nor is there any reason for him to raise you as a king if he had raised you. You are NOT the rightful heir to any throne.

merlin raised auther so to speck and only a dragonborn can use the amulet of kings and all that have used the amulet have become king/emperor

The amulet of kings is nothing more than an accessory now that the dragonfires vanished. Therefore anyone could possibly become the new emperor. Your point is moot.
Kings of Skyrim, coronation etc. are however different things I'm not quite familiar with yet. If there's something special in the lore to begin with.

Edit: I remember the amulet broke at the end of Oblivion. So yeah. There goes your theory.

Which has nothing to do with Skyrim, and once again, Esbern did not raise you.


Mankar Camaron didn't. And the amulet of kings is not important except for the Septim line. Nobody except the Septim line ever became emperor with the Amulet of Kings. And obviously they did, because they were in the royal bloodline!

only a dragonborn can equip the amulet and only a dragonborn can light the fires did you not think that could be part of the quest line restarting the fires to stop the dragons form takening over dude my theroy is still vaild

No, it's not. There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER a dragonborn would become the emperor purely because he is dragonborn. Amulet of Kings = gone, dragonfires = no longer relevant. The empire is just an empire, it can be ruled by anyone, but that person would have to get that position through conquest or lineage. Also would involve being in Cyrodiil, and the game is taking place in Skyrim.

Dragons are not from Oblivion, so why would you want to relight the Dragonfires? This doesn't take in account that the Dragonfires are also obsolete, because Martin sealed the ways to Oblivion.

Why be the king when you can be the dovaKING
