And dragons used to frequntly fly around the Imperial Cty during the Septim empire.

"The Emperor watches over them all from the towers of the Imperial City, as dragons circle overhead." ~ Pocket Guide to the Empire 1st Edition: Cyrodiil It's said the last dragons all vanished at once, around the time of Tiber Septim, with one story claiming Tiber took them all when he ascended to godhood.

"The last known sighting of a dragon in Tamriel was in the time of Tiber Septim. He made a pact with the few remaining dragons, swearing to protect them if they would serve him. Despite his promise, dragons were still hunted and slain. It's not clear if the last ones fled Tamriel or if they were exterminated.

There is some confusion over when the last dragon was killed. It seems the last few vanished all at once. Some tales speak of a dragon king who devoured all of them rather than let mankind kill them. One of the more far-fetched stories has Tiber Septim absorbing their essences when he ascended to godhood. Although the exact cause is unknown, they are all gone." ~ There be Dragons what the wooden man trying to say is, that there is no dragon souls to be sucked by Talos , the stormcrown

"By contrast, the Eastern people of Cyrodiil relish in garish costumes, bizarre tapestries, tattoos, brandings, and elaborate ceremony. Closer to the wellspring of civilization, they are more given to philosophy and the evolution of ancient traditions. The Nibenese find the numinous in everything around them, and their different cults are too numerous to mention (the most famous are the  Cult of the Ancestor-Moth, the Cult of Heroes, the  Cult of Tiber Septim, and the  Cult of Emperor Zero). To the Colovians, the ancestor worship and esoteric customs of the East can often be bizarre. Akaviri dragon-motifs are found in all quarters, from the high minaret bridges of the Imperial City to the paper hako skiffs that villagers use to wing their dead down the rivers. Thousands of workers ply the rice fields after the floodings, or clear the foliage of the surrounding jungle in the alternate seasons. Above them are the merchant-nobility, the temple priests and cult leaders, and the age-old aristocracy of the battlemages. The Emperor watches over them all from the towers of the Imperial City, as dragons circle overhead"

'''i think you get the meaning wrong, This explains that the emperor Tiber Septim watches the city , as if that he's a dragon that circle overhead the City......... '''
