User blog comment:Dovahsebrom/Theory: Who is Konahrik?/@comment-174.23.93.96-20141231061557

I'm not good at The Elder Scrolls lore, so don't be angry with me for presenting this:

What if there was no priest called Konahrik?

Here's my theory, if you can call it that:

The dragons (or whoever made the masks) made Konahrik as some sort of a reward. Konahrik (Warlord) could have been a title issued to any powerful being, and the mask was made for the entity who earned the title. No Dragon Priest earned the privilege (Konahrik's Privilege, the enchantment on the mask) of being called Warlord, and after the Dragon Priests' revolt, the dragons buried/stowed/dumped Konahrik in Bromjumaar and made the Wooden Mask as a means for someone powerful enough to earn the title of Warlord (presumably the Dragonborn (as an example) because it defeats Alduin and all eight/twelve Dragon Priests).
