I can see why some people wants to kill Paarthurnax. He even admits himself that he is constantly tempted to go back to his old roots of dominance. That combined, with the fact that he was second only to Alduin and now that Alduin is gone, he may want to seize the lordship of dragons for himself. Paarthurnax acts like a ticking bomb, that could detonate at any time. He may be harmless now, but there might come a time where he might become a major threat instead. For that, I can understand the Blades reasoning of killing him as a precaution.

As for myself, I am still a bit torn over what to do with him. I don't want to kill him. Not just because of the immense help he provides, but also due to the fact that he is one of the few dragons that are 'civil' and doesn't go hostile on anything beneath them, like the greater majority of dragons. We need more dragons with the mindset of Paarthurnax. But at the same time I keep telling myself of all the potential threats and devastation Paarthurnax and the dragons can do if they become united under one lordship again. Do you really want to risk another Dragon War? I honestly don't know...

Until I can make a more clear decision, I am just going to leave him alone. Hopefully he will keep staying peaceful for the meanwhile.
