He's the first dragonborn who was around during the Dragon War and he's still alive in the 4th Era. Dovahkiin is Mora's new dragonborn champion so it's likely he will be kept alive like Miraak was. Yeah, but Bethesda makes only the main quest canon. See the Neloth issue to understand what i mean. Also, Miraak was in Oblivion. Time doesn't work properly there. Uriel Septim was trapped in Oblivion for a very long time. Where's your actual evidence that they don't consider it canon? The Neloth thing might have been a little mistake on their part. Also you have to remember that in TES not everything is 100% canon or not. The mages guild quest might have happened but Neloth might have been using a decoy or he brought himself back to life. You never know. Unless I get evidence from Bethesda themselves confirming it then I'm pretty doubtful of that statement. Because nothing about the previous game is mentioned aside from the main quest, it can be assumed Bethesda makes them untrue. For example, in the beggining of Oblivion, the Mages Guild is falling apart because of Hannibal Traven's prohibition of necromancy. The Hero helps it get back to its feet, but in Skyrim, it is said that the Mages Guild were disbanded after the Oblivion Crisis, because the people thought that magic users caused the whole sordid affair. The Hero of Kvatch is the star of that Crisis, don't you think the Guild would survive if it was under the Hero's management? Doesn't mean it was immediatley after the Crisis. It might have happened after the HoK fully became Sheogorath and left Cyrodiil to it's fate (that or after he died). In Skyrim you see people like Ulfgar the Unending. A Nord killed by the Nerevarine in Bloodmoon in order to get to Sovngarde. He appears in Sovngarde in the Skyrim main quest.
