The first Daedric Titan was a Dragon that crossed into Coldharbour. So basically, we already have them in ESO.

Dragons roaming freely in ESO's timeline is extremely lore breaking. But its not impossible to have dragons. Remember the dragon in the Soul Cairn. There are no roaming dragons because of the Septim bloodline; this bloodline is the gatekeeper to keeping the daedra and dragons from roaming freely on Nirn.

I think it will happen eventually as a trial boss, it will be just one Dragon though. Apparently in the timeline they're extremely rare and purposefully keeping out of sight

One as a trial boss? I can see that.

I am sure there's maybe one or two in lore around at this time.

Not for riding though.

There is no roaming dragons in this era. The only dragons I can think of is the Soul Cairn dragon, Parthunaax, and the tiger dragon of Akavir. There is no dragons to tame except wyverns like someone else said, basically a dragon look alike is the close we'll get that is lore friendly.

No. The dragons aren't barred from entry by Akatosh. There are dragons wandering Nirn at the time of ESO.

I can dig out the necrothread .jpeg I shamelessly stole from someone on these boards, if it'll make you feel more at home.

Dragons "hiding"
"Dragon mounts"
"It would be cool"

Lol time to get off the forums.

CJohnson81 · July 2016

The reason why we don't have dragons has been proven over and over from a lore standpoint. Since that doesn't seem to be enough for some people, let's go back and think what makes TES games what they are. In each game there is a unique lore event taking place. In oblivion, we have the gates and the lighting of the fires, etc. In Skyrim, the dragons are back to eat the world. In eso, we have the planemeld and the major war taking place in Cyrodiil. You can't have dragons in ESO like you can't have oblivion gates in Skyrim. They're all just different games. I, for one, LOVE playing a new TES game because it's familiar yet all brand new.

I WANT A DRAGON MOUNT

NOW!

Go and play WoW then

Ch4mpTW · July 2016

While a dragon mount would be cool, I think we'd be more likely to see: A dusk, mantikora, wamasu, or titan mount. As they're already in the game, and more easy to be created as a mount (in terms of frame). I also doubt the dusk and titan mount would fly, and would either move like guar mounts or glide slightly.

Now you see, here's glide. What I wouldn't mind is seeing some kind of creature that functions in a similar fashion to a flying squirrel or sugar glider, i.e. if you jump off a cliff or other Really High Place there is a possibility that instead of going straight down, the trajectory could be modified into a glide. It wouldn't suffer from the issues that would plague actual flight (bounding boxes, 3D movement.. etc.) because "up" would not be an option. It would, however, add a certain variance to standard movement and could make some of the higher/more out-of-the-way wayshrines a bit more interesting again (distance competitions anyone?).

Definitely not dragons though. Not of any size or age.

Funny you should say that... since TES's dragons don't age.

That was included more for the posters who keep saying "....but baby dragons" rather than being any reflection on the lore of TES itself.

I just finished saying the only dragons known to be around is Parthunaax, soul cairn dragon, and the tiger emperor dragon. Other than that there is none. The Septim bloodline still acts as a gatekeeper. The only reason why dragons came back in Skyrim is because the Septim bloodline was vanquished.

Paarthurnax
Mirmulnir (last reported in 2e212 in The Reach, documented by the Blades, killed outside of Whiterun in TES5)
Vulthuryol (not documented by the Blades, present in TES5)
Durnehviir (sorta, not documented by the Blades, present in TES5)
Ahbiilok (somewhere between Cyrodiil and Morrowind, not present in TES5)
Nahfahlaar (somewhere in High Rock, not present in TES5)

EDIT: Voslaarum and Naaslaarum are kind of an open question. They might be active, or Alduin might have revived them, it's not clear.

Though, on second thought, and because they don't appear if you ignored the main quest in Skyrim, I think we can safely say, Volsaarum and Naaslaarum are both worm food at the moment.

Also, as @captainwolfos reminded me:

captainwolfos wrote: »

There's at least one dragon around at this time, specifically one named Nafaalilargus, if Redguard is considered canon.

So... yeah, there's a few loose. Not many, but it's not just Paarthurnax.

The Blades kept meticulous records of the Dragons they didn't manage to snuff.

EDIT: Incidentally, the Septims prevented the intrusion of Daedric forces onto Nirn. They did nothing to prevent Aedric activity. As evidenced by the fact that there were active dragons, operating unmolested in the second era.

Now, if you mean that the Dragons would be more circumspect knowing there were dragonborn still wandering Nirn? Then, yes, absolutely.

HatchetHaro · July 2016

Nope. It's unrealistic, and there's pretty much no way to make it lore-friendly.

Now, a mini daedric titan, however~

Im not even a big lore person but this thread with OP having a IQ which is somehow lower than his PVP Rank

One you don't know my pvp rank. Two my IQ is probably higher than 4/5 of the forum users. You also do know that IQ measures your ability to learn not how smart someone is directly. I mean generally the people with higher IQ tend to be more intelligent because they learn more quickly, however that isn't necessarily the case. Since you seem ignorant to what IQ represents your post is null and void. Good day sir @Nafirian

Trying to be edgey now are we? That bit had me rolling.

Your comment is lacking of anything which could be construed in a way to support your claim ,and is off topic thus not a part of a dragon discussion. So refrain from off topic discussions. As said before null and void ,and that is all I have to say about that.

Now for some people lore is a big deal for TES games. However, I'd bet more people than not don't care about actual lore. They just find the game fun to play. Not saying everyone shares this opinion ,but the majority of players do not play the game for lore. They play because a friend had the game or has it and told them/ showed them the game. Now there are plenty of people who do care for lore ,but in the end a game is a game. It can be changed and bended like hot steel. It may take some work to do it but is possible.
