Alduin wasn't removed by a Dragon Break, it wasn't seperate timelines, Alduin was lost in time. It was more like conventional time travel where things moved on like normal for tose on Nirn, but Alduin blinked and ended up from one time and into another. Think of how Amy Pond kept aging because Dr Who couldn't get his regenerated TARDIS to work quite right in the begining of Matt Smith's reign. The Dwemer weren't involved in a Dragon Break either, it was an accident in using the Heart of Lorkhan.

Thank you, though, as that might be the book I was thinking of, I'll have to reread it to make sure later. And other than my above point, everything else you said seems to more or less have enough validity to make sense - certainly more than most things I've read on these threads lately, lol. My only complaint is the use of the Dragon Break, for there to be one it must be a single line of events that have multiple sets of circumstances - both conflicting and otherwise - that lead to more than one possible outcome, but always end up at the same point with a similar 'end-game' so to speak. Also, for it to be a Dragon Break and not a crazy person or a flaw on the historians' part, all possible outcomes must be true.
