ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago then i look at the scrolls wiki which gives this in relation to dragons: The College of Whispers has questioned several Dremora, who claim dragons simply "were, and are": eternal, immortal, unchanging, and unyielding.[4] In this respect, the dragons are closer to the Daedra than to animals and the mortal races;

ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago i'm tired and interpreting scrolls lore is a pain but iirc it was during the dragon wars - that bronach witnessed part of through the elder scroll she read - that when the ancient nords were taught shouts, that's when they were able to kill dragons because of how dragons are uniquely tied to time itself
ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago and if they're all offshoots of akatosh aka all part of the divine then it makes even more sense that it's only very specific individuals who are capable of actually killing them for good since the dragonborn learns shouts from the innate understanding in the soul of the dragon they've called allowing them to master the thing
ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago so if a dragon is killed by another thing, the soul stays with the skeleton and all that has to be done is for the name to be said to the skeleton (by alduin or probably another dragon but we'll say alduin)
ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago now put that next to what inessa told her about archdemons
ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago and also how the nord heroes were given knowledge no one else has

ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ ᴇʏᴇs 11 days ago one of the best things i have open all the time is the imperial library which has every codex entry as well as michael kirkbride's forum archives where he got so wild and deep on the lore and a lot of wild thoughts i've had feel pretty confirmed or less and now my brain is cracked
