" Very few realize that being Dragonborn is not a simple matter of heredity - being the blessing of Akatosh Himself, it is beyond our understanding exactly how and why it is bestowed."

Any issues of heridity are nonexistant.

Miraak, Alessia, Reman, Wulfharth, Tiber, Mankar Camron, and The Dovahkiin, are all dragonborn, and all unrelated to eachother. All I know, the blood of a dragon was given to mortals started with Miraak. Then the gift was given to Alessia. After the war that divided Cyrodiil the true dragonblood lineage was lost and was given to many people in all the races of Tamriel, these people being distant relatives of the late Tiber Septim. After the end of the great civil war the Reman Cyrodiil was given the Amulet of Kings and chosen to be the true ruler of the Tamriel. The Last Dragonborn could be related to any of these legends. Whoa! Reman Cyrodil became emperor before Talos, and after Alessia. The amulet of kings was destroyed after the oblivion crisis, and the elder council elected titus mede 1 to the throne.
