Haha, that is what I suspected, and if you read past line four you may have seen I listed it as the most likely possibility.

I realize that I probably should have thought my question through a bit better, the Dragonborn is mortal, but the soul of a dragon is said to be immortal, and since the Dragonborn has a dragon's soul, then why is the Dragonborn's soul ( not body ) not immortal?

Thanks for the criticism, I think I will have to do some re-wording :)
