"Dragons have the inborn ability to learn and project their Voice. Dragons also are able to absorb the power of their slain brethren. A few mortals are born with similar abilities — whether a gift or a curse has been a matter of debate down through the centuries. What you have already learned in a few days took even the most gifted of us years to achieve. Some believe that Dragonborn are sent into the world by the gods, at times of great need. We will speak more of that later, when you are ready."

Copy and paste from Gamepedia Huh, very interesting, I had completely forgotten about that as well o__O And yeah I assume it's an inconsistency between gameplay functionality and lore. That could explain why they fight so much amongst each other then :P
