So, where do the dragons fall in all this? The only dragon who is really behind the Dragonborn is Odhaviing. The rest of them seem to be pretty much bandits. Paarthunax won't be given much of a role by Bethesda, because the player is given the choice of killing him. That means their writers have to assume he does not play into the story.

Here's the other thing, the Blades won't let any dragons survive if they can help it. Assuming that Arngeir was right about all dragons being Alduin's henchmen, and taking the fact that Delphine says that Paarthunax isn't worthy of a pardon, that means that the Blades think every dragon deserves to die.

I'd like the option to side with the dragons against the Blades, and I'd like that choice to affect the composition of the army you lead against the Thalmor.
