A {{Lore Link|Dragonborn}} (or {{hover|'Dragon Hunter Child' in the Dragon Language|'''Dovahkiin'''}}) is a mortal blessed with Dragon Blood by [[Lore:Akatosh|Akatosh]], the Father of Dragons and chief of the {{Lore Link|Nine Divines|Divines}}.{{ref|name=SRPaarthurnax|{{Lore Link|Paarthurnax}}'s dialogue in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}} Those with the blessing have an extraordinary aptitude in the use of the {{Lore Link|thu'um}}, being able to absorb knowledge of shouts directly from the souls of slain dragons.{{ref|name=SRUlfric|[[Skyrim:Ulfric Stormcloak|Ulfric Stormcloak]]'s dialogue in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}} This ability breeds fear and hatred in dragons, as the removal of their soul severs their immortality and renders them beyond the reach of any {{Lore Link|necromancy}}.{{ref|name=SRPaarthurnax}} The first known Dragonborn was {{Lore Link|Miraak}}, a {{Lore Link|Dragon Priest|dragon priest}} of the {{Lore Link|Merethic Era}} who used the thu'um in an unsuccessful revolt against his masters.{{ref|name=TGATT|{{Cite book|The Guardian and the Traitor}}}} However, the title itself is most often associated with the "Dragonborn Emperors" of Tamriel, who were in a divine covenant with Akatosh which maintains the barriers between {{Lore Link|Mundus}} and [[Lore:Oblivion|Oblivion]].{{ref|name=TOSA|{{Cite book|Trials of St. Alessia}}}}<noinclude>

Any subject of the Empire prior to the {{Lore Link|Fourth Era}} would say they were ruled by the "Dragonborn Emperors", but very few understood what that title meant.{{ref|name=TBOTD|{{Cite book|The Book of the Dragonborn}}}} Its usage stretches back to [[Lore:Alessia|Saint Alessia]], who founded the [[Lore:Alessian Empire|Cyrodilic Empire]] in a [[Lore:First Era|First Era]] covenant with Akatosh. The Dragon God imbued Alessia's line with blood from his own heart, initiating a sacred compact which kept the [[Lore:Dragonfires|Dragonfires]] lit and Oblivion's influence barred from [[Lore:Mundus|Mundus]], so long as those of the Dragon Blood wear the [[Lore:Amulet of Kings|Amulet of Kings]].{{ref|name=TOSA}} Ever since, the legitimate rulers of the Empire have been called Dragonborn: Alessia's successors, {{Lore Link|Reman|Reman Cyrodiil}} and {{Lore Link|Reman Dynasty|his heirs}}, and finally the {{Lore Link|Septim Dynasty}}. Indeed, the title is particularly associated with {{Lore Link|Tiber Septim}} himself, perhaps because he made notable use of the thu'um in his early conquests.{{ref|name=MWImperialCult|Generic [[Morrowind:Imperial Cult|Imperial Cult]] dialogue in [[Morrowind:Morrowind|Morrowind]]}}{{ref|name=TAH|{{Cite book|The Arcturian Heresy}}}} Only these true rulers, approved by Akatosh, could wear the Amulet of Kings and light the Dragonfires.{{ref|name=TBOTD}} In addition, they enjoy the protection and service of the {{Lore Link|Blades}}, descended from the Akaviri Dragonguard, who follow the Dragonborn as "the ultimate dragonslayer."{{ref|name=SRDelphine|[[Skyrim:Delphine|Delphine]]'s dialogue in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}} The line of Dragonborn rulers was abruptly severed through assassination at the end of the {{Lore Link|Third Era}}, leading to the {{Lore Link|Oblivion Crisis}} as the Dragonfires went out. Eventually, the [[Lore:Martin Septim|last]] of the Septim bloodline sacrificed himself and the Amulet to permanently restore the liminal barrier.{{ref|name=Oblivion|Events of [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]]}} The {{Lore Link|Mede Dynasty}} that subsequently seized control of the Empire lacks the Dragonborn trait, and with the advent of the prophesied [[Lore:Hero|Last Dragonborn]], it is unlikely there will be any further Dragonborn Emperors.

:''To keep evil forever at bay!
:''And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,
:''Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!'' — {{Lore Link|Songs of Skyrim: Revised|Songs of Skyrim}}
The Dragonborn play a prominent role in the legends of the {{Lore Link|Nord}}s of [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]], who tell tales of heroes who would "kill dragons and steal their power".{{ref|name=SRGuard|[[Skyrim:Whiterun Guard|Whiterun Guard]]'s dialogue in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}} It's not known how many Dragonborn have arisen over the course of history. The {{Lore Link|Greybeards}} of {{Lore Link|High Hrothgar}} warned that many of them met their downfall because the ease with which they learned the thu'um made them arrogant. The Greybeards attempt to inculcate the values of the {{Lore Link|Way of the Voice}}, and strongly disapprove of the violent use of thu'um in general, but tolerate it amongst those who have been blessed by the gods.{{ref|name=SRArngeir|[[Skyrim:Arngeir|Arngeir]]'s dialogue in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}} With the return of the dragons in {{Year|4E 201}} came the emergence of the first Dragonborn hero since Tiber Septim to be summoned by the Greybeards for training. In the fulfillment of an ancient {{Lore Link|Akaviri}} prophecy, this Last Dragonborn learned to master the thu'um and defeated {{Lore Link|Alduin}}.{{ref|name=Skyrim|Events of [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}}
==Notes==
*St. Alessia was commonly regarded as the first Dragonborn recorded in history until Miraak, the true "First Dragonborn", made himself known in the Fourth Era.{{Ref|name=DBMiraak|[[Dragonborn:Miraak (person)|Miraak]]'s dialogue in [[Dragonborn:Dragonborn|Dragonborn]]}}
*The {{Lore Link|Nerevarine}} was referred to as "Dragon-born" in ''[[Lore:The Lost Prophecy|The Lost Prophecy]]''. If this is meant as a literal interpretation or, as {{Lore Link|Gilvas Barelo}} asserts, that it indicated the Nerevarine would be born under the banner of the {{Lore Link|Empire}}, is unknown.
