Lore states that dragons originated in Akavir but were forced out because they were being slaughtered by the native races.

They flew west to Morrowind but the native Cliff Racers chased them out.

They then settled in Skyrim and enslaved the Nords who were still trying to force the Falmer out of Skyrim and claim it as their own.
