On the other hand who says that you have to follow the lore word by word.For example i want my skyrim hero to actually be the nerevarine that was sent on an expedition to the mysterious island of akavir and found some life-prolonging herb or was afflicted by vampirism and went there to find a cure or because the nerevarine was also the dragonborn and didnt know he was blessed with long life like saint alessia.besides in the lost prophecy the nerevarine is also referred to as dragon-born ;) so why not make your own story by mixing lore facts rather than follow them like canon I think the discussion is about canon though.
