Dragons  don't reproduce

but they somehow found himself in Tamrie

not all at the same time as some are stated to be older

So they just popped into existence one-day?

The first Dragon born seem to have killed a dozen

when you look back in time using the Elder scroll you see another several killed

(When I mean killed I mean soul eating by a Dragon born/equivalent)

And then the last Dragon born comes along and kills on average? 30 Dragon's

Alduin seem to have taken quite a bit of time resurrecting one Dragon and then flying off

and based off the blades investigations timing walk in the and so forth

I would have to speculate that Alduin must of had to of had great recovery time

after every Dragon revived he revived or otherwise he could have fly to one Dragon burial site after another

and have raised 30 Dragons before the character walks to white-run

But the blades seem to have found you a couple weeks

After killing Alduin I found incredibly scared when I was surrounded by like a dozen Dragons

it really demonstrated that only a dozen could be so intimidating and all in one location

sad to think could they have been several hundred?

My only conclusion is is a maximum of 50 Dragons left and that including the ones the Dragon born has killed

Paarthurnax Allied Dragons seemed to be a dozen strong and I personally felt as a direct threat to the Dragon born

Eg you might of smiting Alduin but we can still kill you Dragon born as we are not dumb enough to attack you individually

we will just wipe you out together and with their sheer logistical speed they could destroy any army

Alduin

Shouldn't they be Dragon burial sites across Tamrie ? They didn't just hang around in skyrim

I mean the blades tracked loads of them down and the blades went everywhere

Alduin /Dragons seemed to only annoy skyrim's population and even a good percentage of them could pretended Dragon wasn't a problem
