 * Edit*

2. Also wouldn't there be more historical evidence of the dragon war if it happened after Ysgramor? 1. Becuase the Dragon Cult ruled as equals to the Nordic Kings, not above them.

" Dragons granted small amounts of power to the dragon priests in exchange for absolute obedience. In turn, the dragon priests ruled men as equals to the kings. "

2. Not really, Ysgramor was the first person to start writing shit down, and it took a long time for even that to catch on. The Nords wanted to bury the dragon cult, and the dragon war, so they simply never wrote it down, and no one else was around to do it either, so it simply never got recorded.
