Lord Hadron wrote: @Ceasar Augustus. Can you elaborate on the Nords beating the Dov. Because the only way the Nords' were able to succeed in the Dragon war is because they were granted the ability to speak as the Dragons do. Because they were weak. When they first attempted to rebel against the Dragons, the Dragons only shouted them... and broke their hearts. Not like any Nord warrior can master the Voice. Only those hand picked by the Greybeards... or the Dragonborn.

So what if some cavemen slaves were able to overthrow the Aylieds, WITH the Dragonborn. What about...

...THE GREAT WAR! Cha!

Stopped the Oblivion Crisis, by one man, one Dragonborn who bore the Amulet of Kings. Sure, sure. You ever read the Oblivion Crisis page? "Due to the Altmer's magical prowess and knowledge of the forces of Oblivion, that had a much easier time closing the Oblivion Gates in the Summerset Isles than most others did". Something along those lines i read somewhere before.

The Dwemer and Chimer obliterated the Nords together, didn't they?

Dwemer being the masters of architecture, creating Dwemer animunculi, the Numidium? Building Dwarven cities and Centurions and that were built to last millenia. What could the Nords build? Cheap iron swords and brick walls?

Right to be arrogant... DEEZ! I have to agree with Mr. Hadron here that, while he was exagerating a bit, it's not entirely false that those of the Dragonblood had some hand in most major events and victories of man. An exception my be the Umbriel Event where I don't believe a Dragonborn was present.

That said, man can at least claim that Akatosh has favored the races of men over elves when he chose to to gift someone with Dragonblood.

Aside from those who become elves in Skyrim, I've never heard of an elven master of the voice.
