User blog comment:Tholanar/What really happened during the time of TES V?/@comment-5709731-20130111205324

As promised, here is my own.

In my little Skyrim universe, there were not one but three Dragonborn. A Bard-Warlord, A War-mage and a Wizard-Thief.

Zelron, the Breton Wizard Thief, was originally just a conjuration mage who was wanted in Cyrodiil for thievery. He was caught in Falkreath Hold, by the carvan with the Stormcloaks heading towards Helgen, and was sentenced to death by the cruel Imperial Captain we all know and love.

Tal-Jin, the Argonian Bard-Warlord, unfortunately found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time, in an ambush by the Imperial Legion and was bound along with the Stormcloaks. He was originally heading for the Bards College of Solitude.

Tholanar, the High Elven War-Mage, was traveling Tamriel as a s(p)ellsword, yet upon arrival in Skyrim, he accidentally burned down a farmhouse near Helgen with a misplaced fire spell. He was sent to Helgen as a prisoner about the same time as the other two arrived by the Stormcloak Carriage. He was sentenced to death as well (Damn that Imperial Captain).

All three escaped Helgen, Tholanar and Tal-Jin together with Hadvar. Zelron just snuck out in the confusion, grabbing some gear from dead soldiers along the way, as well as anything useful.

Zelron wandered all the way from Helgen to Riften, honing his skills on wolves and deer on the way. He joined the Thieves Guild, and was so succesful at his work, that he completed what we know as the Thieves Guild questline pretty damn quickly.

Tal-Jin and Tholanar had stayed in Riverwood for quite some time by then, learning the smith trade from Alvor. Both proved to be talented at the art. Soon, Alvor asked them to go to Whiterun and tell the Jarl of the potential danger. After some days of wandering (Skyrim is bigger than you may think), they reached the Hold Capital, and gained an audience with the Jarl.

Tal-Jin joined the Bards College and Companions after delivering the message, and Tholanar messed around as a wandering adventurer, occasionally stumbling upon Meridia's beacon. He claimed Dawnbreaker, and crafted himself a set of Dwarven equipment. By that time, Zelron was robbing Goldenglow Estate, and Tal-Jin had passed his Bards College and Companions initiation, becoming a full-fledged bard and a Werewolf. Tholanar was soon tasked with finding the Bleak Falls Barrow Dragonstone, and he was present during Mirmulnir's attack on the Western Watchtower, killing the Dragon and revealing himself as Dragonborn.

Tal-Jin discovered his dragonborn identity when the Companions had been tasked with investigating a great beast lair. It turned out to be a rogue dragon, and Tal-Jin and his companion brothers slew it, revealing Tal-Jin as the second Dragonborn.

At about the same time, another dragon was attacking Riften. Zelron had, by that time, eradicated Honnigbrew Meadery and had returned to Riften for new orders. With his bound bow, he took the beast down with the aid of the city guard, and swallowed it's soul, revealing him as the third and final dragonborn.

All three answered the summons of the Greybeards, and all three passed their initiation with ease. As Delphine had taken the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, they had to meet up with her as well. She was conviced about their dragonborn identity when Tal-Jin and Zelron both took out a dragon on the road to Kynesgrove, and Tholanar dispatched Sahlohniir.

After messing around with the Blades, the three young dragonborn sought the Greybeards aid in their search for Dragonrend. They met up with Paarthurnaxx, and found the Elder Scroll. Together, they defeated Alduin on top of the Monahven. Tal-Jin joined the Imperial Legion and put a swift end to the Stormcloak Rebellion, and with the aid of the Jarl, was able to convice Odahviing to fly him, Tholanar and Zelron to Skuldafn.

Inside Sovngarde, Thief, Warrior and Mage fought against the Black Dragon, and ultimately defeated him, with the help of the Ancient Tounges.

In the aftermath of Alduins defeat, the three heroes rose to leadership in their favored faction, Tal-Jin became Harbinger of the Companions, Zelron slew Mercer Frey and returned the Skeleton Key, and Tholanar became Arch-mage of the College of Winterhold.

I'll post something more, about Dawnguard, Daedric Princes and other things, later.
