Lab Coat Billy wrote: Did Kirkbride not say that Dragonblood and Dragonborn are different? He did once, to try to explain why Miraak can be a "dragonborn" before Alessia, but I dont think even Lady Nerevar, his girlfriend, and the primary worker of the Impeiral Library, agrees.

It was something he said, but I dont know anyone on the imperial library that actually agrees with it. It was a retcon to something that didnt need to be retconned.

And the in-game book, the book of the dragonborn, equated being dragonblooded as being dragonborn like tiber and reman, so in-game sources disagree with him.
