Well, the Septim line did last for quite some time even though it eventually died out.

Martins fault by the by, how hard would it be the make some babies for times of urgency.

And it doesn't need to be a Septim for the ruler to be Dragonblood/Dragonborn, hint hint.

All Dovakiins are not Septims but they are all by definition Dragonblood.

If no Dragonborn could be found and made Emperor, a temporary stewardship (think Gondor) should have been put in to place until such a time came when a Dragonblood would appear.
