 * 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. I had a hunch that the Nords wanted to erase the Dragon Cult from existence but if that was the case, wouldn't they have demolished the old Crypts to make sure they were never remembered

Also were does it mention that the Dragon Cult ruled alongside Nordic Kings? I have to call bullshit on that because the Dragon Cult was ruled by the Dovah and I doubt they would share there power. Now it could be there were Nordic Jarls under the Dragon Cult but I wouldn't say there was any kings.
