So that could mean that the Hero of Kvatch was potentially of Dragonborn status, unless I'm mistaken and that honour goes to Martin Septim or someone else? With regard to the time frame between the events of The Elder Scrolls III and IV, could it be possible that because the Nerevarine was reported to have "gone on an expedition to Akavir" and "was never heard from again" that they either died or disappeared?

I mean 'disappeared' as in 'taken back', because if they had something to do with the Aedra, ie an incarnation or avatar, or a manifestation of their power, then could it be that once their purpose has been fulfilled on Nirn they return to wherever the Divines are? In 40 years that could also be enough time to be respawned (effectively) as the next saviour.

I also apologise if this was a little irrelevant. I just wanted to put that out there before I forgot haha. Huh? Where did you get that Information? A Dragonborn is send to Nirn when Akatosh or another Time God wants it.

The CoC was definetly no Dragonborn.

The Nerevarine is not the Dragonborn or the CoC. This wiki. I'm not saying that they were for sure, I'm just saying they could be of the same soul or something, an incarnation of a past hero. Previous contributors have said that the three people in question aren't literally the same person, and I agree, but I also agree that they have been sent by the Divines because there's some great strife or something.

Like I said, I was just theorising and my knowledge is perhaps a little sketchy because I haven't read every single page this wiki has to offer. This is just from what I've gathered from the pages I have read. The 40 year thing and all that. A lot of other people have interpreted the information supplied by the Elder Scrolls series for themselves and putting it out there as suggestion, so I was doing likewise.
