Khorne flakes the eight wrote: well by that i meant that they can die in the literal sense but can be brought back.

perhaps the dragonborn could become something like a draugr or dragon priest?

By that logic, actually anyone can be brought back to life...by necromancy. Draugr and Dragon Priests are actually preserved through necromancy. Dragon Priests are Liches. The wolf queen quest is another example of necromancy usage as an effort to bring back a past Dragonborn, and the necromancer effort to control her to claim the throne.

If Dragonborn really can be brought back to life other than by necromancy, then Martin Septim sacrifice was not neccessary, considering all his brothers was Dragonborn.
