    I just noticed something & thought it was relevant. Per the wiki, "Dragonrend works by forcing a dragon to understand the meaning of mortality, something so utterly incomprehensible to an immortal dragon that the knowledge tears at their very soul, breaking their concentration enough so they cannot focus on flying."
    So basically it's screaming a concentrated existential crisis and they get so emo about it they have to lay down and cry for a while and I don't know, but I feel like that's a little worse than whatever Paarthurnax did to the people of Tamriel.

      That’s kind of why Paarthurnax, the Greybeards, and the Dov themselves look at Dragonrend with terrified, hateful awe. It’s widely considered a perversion of the thu’um since it was created by mortals out of pure hate for use against immortals.

    As Akatosh suffered Dragon breaks the pieces that broke off like Glass were the Dragons. Alduin being the biggest shard. The Last Dragonborn is the human like aspect of Akatosh (as the Dragon breaks made him more human like and kind to humans). You can see this with the artwork, an old man and a Dragon, because of this the battle between the last Dragonborn and Alduin is more of a debate and Indecisiveness of Akatosh made physical. In a way he's trying to decide of he should destroy the world or save it (as he's grown fond of man). You are essentially a human manifestation of Akatosh to a lesser degree and the more dragons you absorb the more of him you take him. Essentially his pro human nature grows as his human aspects roam the world. It's his mindset, ideas and personality made physical as is still metaphorical as are the Gods because aren't held down by just physical things but ideas and metaphors made real and that reflexes in the world as avatars and physical change on Nirn.

  • @conorkelly8851
    @conorkelly8851 5 років тому +2

    I wonder if Alduin is even capable of returning as he was initially meant to. His name, as you mention it in this video means a devour, destroyer, master. But the final word in this his name is not master via domination (according to Thuum.org), it means master of a specific skill. In this case, master of destruction and the devouring of the world. Considering Alduin has forsaken his position once before, claimed godhood over other dragons (something that puts him in conflict with other divine beings) and has been forced to endure the mind shattering nature of mortality through dragonrend several times. I wonder then, if his nature as it was meant to be even exists anymore.

    Alduin (whose stomach was hurting because it was a little too stretched, which had never happened before, and now he knew why) grew furiously angry and boomed out, "You stupid little f*cker, do you even know what would HAPPEN if that happened, my dying and being unable to eat and the kalpa left to run forever? Why do I even ask, you who are a little low spirit whose only real power is jumping around? It is the Greedy Man I should really be mad at!"
    And the Leaper Demon King saw a possible way out of this mess for himself but he nodded too eagerly, saying "Yes, yes, yes! Yes!" and the dragon knew that any mercy he might give to this little demon would not result in any true learning. So he cursed the king of the leapers, calling him Dagon, saying:
    "The Greedy Man has already f*cked himself up good, hiding inside something that didn't exist anymore, but you: you I curse right here and right now! I take away your ability to jump and jump and jump and doom you to [the void] where you will not be able to leave except for auspicious days long between one and another and even so only through hard, hard work.
