No dragon, there are no dragons in ESOs timeline. It's most likely some kind of magma.

In Vardenfell, there's a massive Volcano in the middle.

So I'm pretty sure that's magma/lava and volcano stuff.

During the planemeld, commute between vvardenfell and mainland Morrowind completely ceased, signified by the dark, impenetrable settled lava.
But now, after the events of Gold coast and Wrothgar, the door to vvardenfell is flung wide open, signified by the live, hot lava coming out from the cracks.
TL;dr we are going back to vvardenfell.

Dragons are busy right now. You know. Being dead.

Portal references apart...
There are dragons that are alive during this period, but they are in hiding and thus not readily available to us. It wouldn't be impossible for one to be sighted here and there, but much more than that would directly conflict with the established lore.

P3ZZL3 · January 2017

Ok, so I was wandering around the net and reviewing the lore, something that really isn't "me" in all honesty.

Now, that being said, I found the following:

Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time, was, 1000 years prior to ESO time line, sent in to the future and banished.
However, the Jills were left alone and went in to this alleged hiding.
What if the Jills managed to bring Akatosh back to their present, being now in ESO law, from the Future where he was banished?

(I know, I'm about to be torn apart by lore specialists, but just asking

I'm sure you're thinking of Alduin, first born of Akatosh, who was sent forwards in time to 4E 201 and fought with the dragonborn. I cant imagine they would bring him back into the past for eso.

@Serjustin19 Daedra or more specifically their Princes do not posses the power to create, only to imitate(make cheap knock-offs), So yes, Titans 'LOOK' like dragons, but that does not make them dragons.

Hope that was clear and informative

Titans are corrupted dragons, actually.

There are, or have been, or will be a race of beings upon Nirn called Dragons, creatures of almost Daedra-like majesty. They naturally sought domination over the mortals of Nirn, and achieved a measure of success therein.
But upon a time that was and will be the ever-pernicious mortals of Tamriel betrayed these their natural masters, and those who were not slain were driven into hidden refuge. Then one such Dragon, a greater Dov named Boziikkodstrun, exerted his nigh-divine will in an attempt to fly beyond the borders of the Mundus. And though he did not succeed, his effort was valorous and remarkable, and impinged upon the attention of Molag Bal himself.
Our Lord and Master noted this feat of will-force, considered that the race of Dov had achieved dominion over much of Nirn, and thus spake unto this Boziikkodstrun, offering him a place of honor and privilege in his domain of Coldharbour. And the Dragon, his resources all but spent by his efforts, did accept and agree.
So Molag Bal opened a window between worlds to allow the Dragon to pass into our Lord's realm, where Boziikkodstrun was granted the privilege of being bound in chains of cold ebon iron, and set in a place of honor in the nethermost depths of the Tower of Lies. For our Lord and Master desired to know the secrets of the Dragons' dominance over the mortals of Nirn. Long was the Dragon tortured and interrogated. But the dragon was haughty, and indignant at his ill treatment, and no matter what torments were brought to bear, the intransigent Boziikkodstrun refused to utter so much as a single syllable in his abrasive language to reveal the secrets of the Dov.
Vexed by this obstinate defiance—and rightly so—our Lord and Master at length waxed wroth and avenged himself upon Boziikkodstrun by slow consumption of the flesh from his bones, yea, every gobbet. Then Molag Bal regarded the skeleton of the Dov and laughed. "If I cannot have the secrets of the Dragons," he thundered, "then I shall make Dragons of my own—Dragons even mightier than those of Nirn!"
He ordered the skeleton taken to the Vile Laboratory, where it was infused with the blood-of-darkness that reawakened it as a Vestige. During this process Molag Bal ordered that the skeleton be somewhat adjusted and improved to a plan of his own devising, forming a bone-frame even mightier than that of its forebears. Then it was plunged into the deepest pool in the Azure Chasm, there to absorb the blue liquescence that would give our Lord's new servant its body, brain, and brawn.
Within a nanaeon a mighty creature drew itself from the chasm plasm and shook itself free of the primordial slime. In response to the summons of our mutual Lord and Master, it ascended to the plateau and bounded nimbly up the Endless Stair. The first of the Daedric Titans was among us.

Alduin you mean, not Akatosh. Some believe they are one in the same but we meet him in Skyrim and he clearly distinguishes himself from his father. Secondly, it's not 1,000 years prior to ESO. ESO's start date is 2E 582 (according to books in the Gold Coast, it's around 2E 584 now). 1,000 years prior to ESO would be 1E 2502, which is far into recorded history of Tamriel.

The Dragon War, which ended with Alduin's banishment occurred sometime before the First Era, in the late Merethic Era. Which would put the Dragon War anywhere between 3,502 and 6,002 years prior to ESO, and another 4,450 to 6,950 years prior to Skyrim.

Mostly because you're asking for Alduin to be added to ESO... which isn't happening without mangling the lore in the process.

Just to be clear, I'm not actually asking for anything ... Just asking the question about how they could possibly put a dragon in to the mix. Cause that twitter pic looks remarkably like the Godzilla Poster where it was basically his eye, but closed

essi2 · January 2017

@JarlUlfric That text clearly states that Molag Bal gave the skeleton of a dragon "its body, brain, and brawn."

ie. It's an imitation of a Dragon not an actual Dragon corrupted or otherwise.

Not to get all lore-nerdy, but there most certainly are dragons in the general timeline of ESO. They're just exceedingly rare. I mean, even Tiber Septim had at least one dragon, though he won't pop up for a few hundred years.

To the OPs post though, this is most definitely the lava flows of Red Mountain.

What the poster you quoted meant was "in this point of the timeline". Skyrim is almost 1000 years in the future. Right now, dragons are either dead or hiding (and Alduin was already transported to the future).

Oh yeah totally I 100% agree with you. At some point it would be cool to interact with a singular dragon (maybe the one Tiber Septim will have later on) but yeah. I was just being a nitpicker.

If they were going to bring in one single dragon, personally I would vote for Paarthurnax. Not only is his existence at this time very lore friendly, he is just plain awesome.

But ESO is its own game, and bringing in Dragons would make this game too much like Skyrim, even if it they do it in a very lore friendly way.

I enjoy how ESO shows the towns and the scenes from past games, but make it their own, hopefully/usually in a lore friendly way. It's one of the things that drew me into this game.

Well, that and the Khajiit in Khenarthi's Roost hawking opportunities to touch the ferocious puppy she had caged.

AlMcFly · January 2017

Honestly, I don't want dragons flying around ESO as they do in Skyrim because that will clearly be lore breaking. But to say ESO cannot allow you to see ANY dragon ever because lore doesn't allow, is just stupid, narrowminded, and unimaginative.

FACT: There are many quests in ESO that deal with time travel, or watching events in another time period.

FACT: There are many events in ESO happening to the main character that nobody knows about, therefore nobody can share the tale to others. Basically, deeds performed in secret, lost to future generations.

I could probably write 30 stories off the top of my head that could take advantage of those two facts above and include Dragons.

I much prefer talking to dragons than killing them. Paarthurnax is awesome! Odahviing was great too, so annoyed with himself for getting caught in your trap.

If there is ever a Dragon in eso I would rather it be a quest giver not an enemy to fight.

I love both Paarthurnax and Odahviing too. You can visit Odahviing's dragon mound in ESO if you want to pay your respects. It is on the way between Riften and the Smokefrost Vigil. Strangely enough, while it is pristine in Skyrim, it looks like someone did some digging and there is an abandoned tent inside it in ESO.
