I haven't really decided. Interestingly, Wooly's aversion of "drugan" has got me thinking about other possible terms from my Realms to connect with the canonical "tibur" term. So, I suppose "da 'harkann" [literally, "born of cold blood"] is a possibility, though that is usually only used to define the scaly-folk occupants of a successor-sarrukh state from around the , DR timeframe.
Thus, "tibur da' harkann" could mean "born as cold blood. Posted - 07 Nov : The dragonborn have appropriated the term, altered by addition of a hard "R" sound into something more like "superior children.
Cheers That's a good explanation But it still doesn't work for me. The dragonborn of 4E are described as utterly hating dragons So I'd imagine they'd want some word or phrase that entirely divorced them from dragons.
Now for the 3E dragonborn, it's a wonderfully suitable word. Yeah, well, Races of the Dragon makes that apparent. Regrettably, the 4e Dragonborn tome doesn't elaborate on this particular aspect all that much.
I call them plaguechanged lizzard man. Chosen of Asmodeus Master of Realmslore Posts. Don't know how many of you play World of Warcraft and are familiar with its story, but this reminds me of why the leader of the orcs in warcraft keeps the name "Thrall". He was a slave, and his owner gave him that name to remind him of it every day.
He chose to keep it after escaping as a reminder of where he had come from and what he had endured, and so that when he finally got even with his former master, he would remember as well.
Could be some of that mentality going on, and that dragonborn have racial daddy issues. Their race was created by dragons; they want to hold onto that as a reminder of their hate, so that when they get their hands on the dragons, they'll remember as well, that they are the authors of their own destruction.
My two cents, anyway. Righteous is the destiny of fools. I should think that a mirror would serve ample reminder of their heritage. A little off topic, but I read the story of Thrull in a large World of Warcraft novella had like 4 different stories in it and it was a pretty damn good story. The book was called Warcraft Archive. So humans might take it to simple mean 'children of the dragon' or shorten it simply to Dragonborn , but it is a somewhat inaccurate translation.
To the Dragonborn, they say 'heirs' - and in the Draconian mindset 'Inheritors' means "they who have the right to their parent's legacy" it has a more forceful connotation. Ergo, both translations are somewhat accurate, but are off by the mindset of the race making the translation.
It wasn't until the Fourth Era where Miraak is finally defeated once and for all. Miraak is found by the last Dragonborn, and after an interesting encounter is defeated. This was an interesting plot point considering you caused a legacy to end by destroying its beginning. It was a fantastic way to bring those two ends together and create a climactic end. One of the most confusing and hard to nail down aspects of the Dovahkiin is specifically how the select few are chosen.
The process holds no restrictions in terms of someone's race or their gender. This is probably due to the fact that dragons don't really concern themselves with the idea of gender or race that much. We know that they are very picky though.
It is very rare for two Dragonborn to exist at the same point in time. If you were to count the number of total Dragonborn, including those who were never confirmed but strongly suggested it would still be lower than you'd expect. Some Dragonborn were more notable than others probably due to their position of power, willingness to accomplish things, and so on. It is also believed that gift of Dovahkiin is bestowed to those favored by Akatosh. The Blades are an often overlooked but extremely important part of the legacy of Dovahkiin.
They're the protectors, the watchers, the security. They praise the Dragonborn as being the ultimate dragon slayers and understand their importance to the world. The Greybeards see the Blades as a band of scummy assassins who are looking to shape the Dovahkiin around their own agenda.
When we were first introduced to the Greybeards in Skyrim, we knew there was going to be some sort of analog.
These guys were old, tiresome, and unexciting. The Blades provide the player with a support group of highly skilled warriors who want the Dovahkiin to succeed at any cost. Tiber Septim is a very important man, some may argue the most important influence on Tamriel as a whole.
It's no surprise that a man who would grow to become what Tiber Septim did would become a Dovahkiin. He had tremendous influence over the land and was the first Emperor of the Septim Empire. There are many theories circulating about how he came into power and was able to change as many things as he did.
One theory suggests that he transcended and was able to manipulate the world of Elder Scrolls to provide him with everything he ever wanted. This is based on the theory that Elder Scrolls as a whole takes place in a dream of a godly being. This theory isn't too crazy considering if you make a list of the greatest accomplishments you could complete in the world of Tamriel, Tiber Septim did.
There's a long lineage of those gifted with the title of Dovahkiin. Most if not all of them have been recorded and their stories are often recalled as timeless tales of legends.
However, there is one individual who was strongly considered to be a Dovahkiin but unfortunately, it was never proved or confirmed and has been left as a mystery. Mankar Camoran, the leader of the Mythic Dawn, was an individual who apparently possessed the ability to "speak another tongue" or "speak fire. Like previously stated, it was never proven either way if Mankar Camoran was indeed a Dragonborn, but all of the evidence suggests he was indeed a Dovahkiin.

During 4E , the prophecy of the Last Dragonborn would come to pass. Alduin, who had been banished from Tamriel since the Merethic Era by an Elder Scroll , returned to the land, indirectly helping the Last Dragonborn to escape an Imperial execution at Helgen by destroying the town. Upon defeating the Dragon, the Dragonborn gained its soul, [33] and through the Word of Power that the Dragonborn had learned previously in a mission of the court wizard, [34] was able to use the Thu'um.
After learning Dragonrend , the Last Dragonborn was able to face off against Alduin atop the Throat of the World , winning a minor victory against the World-Eater, though Alduin did escape to Sovngarde. The leader of the Greybeards, Arngeir, believed that it may have been possible that he could return to fulfill his true destiny, though that was for the gods to decide. The First Dragonborn, Miraak, had also gained more power since his defeat by Vahlok.
Upon learning of the Last Dragonborn, he had sent out cultists with the orders to defeat the Dragonborn. The Last Dragonborn would travel to Solstheim , where the cultists had originated, in order to find the origin of the cultists. During their quest to stop Miraak, Miraak held the power to transport to the Last Dragonborn every time they slew a Dragon, and steal the Dragon's soul before the Last Dragonborn could absorb it. After a long battle, Hermaeus Mora ended the conflict by slaying Miraak for his treachery, and naming the Last Dragonborn his champion.
