User blog comment:Ninja Tank Nick/Reason I think the dragonborn Could not be emperor of Tamerial/@comment-4640959-20120326015903/@comment-24.65.230.88-20120705065528

Tiber septim, or.talos, tye first emporor was a nord, bot an imperial. If you payed attention in oblivion, the.right to emperor is to either be.a.septim, or of.dragonblood. however, the only reason for.thia.was.because the.dragonfires had to be lit, and only dragonborn, and.thus the.septim bloodline, can do this. After oblivion is closed for good, the.dragonfires are no longer needed, making it possible for magnus to usurp the throne without consequence. Technically the dragonborn has a legitimate claim to the throne, or he.would if the.dragonfires.were needed, however it would be possible for him.to dispute his.position, even though ot doesnt fit the story
