The Hero of Kvatch and Nerevarine are widely accepted to be alive in some form or another during the events of TES:V and beyond. But could a dragonborn live on indefinitely as well? I think it's very likely. Dragons are presented as being immortal (related to Akatosh and time) and the only way they can die in a sense is by having their souls taken by a dragonborn or another dragon I assume. This always made me think that as long as the dragonborn has this soulpower within him he can't really die from age or normal means. Miraak for example has lived thousands of years being sustained by dragon souls and when hes slain is absorbed by the last dragonborn. I suppose their body could be crushed and destroyed though without the soul being stolen it would go somewhere until it inhabits a new body, right?

What do you think? (Sorry if this was already discussed, I just made my account and I can't find the search option)
