Is there a Dragonborn in ESO's timeline?

Digielf · May 2017

Since there were Dragonborns before the Skyrim one doesn't this mean that there is also one during Elder Scrolls Online timeline? At some point they will obviously unlock the remaining Skyrim area that is not available in ESO so maybe we will meet him/her there since its the most iconic place for such a character.

Talos was born in the 2nd era so yes Talos

There might be, there might be not. Generally speaking, it's unknown how many Dragonborn there have been in Tamriel's history.

During this timeline, there could have been a mortal blessed with the Dovah Sos by Akatosh. But none have been revealed until Tiber Septim

Tiber Septim (Talos) was born in 2E 828, and ESO takes place around 2E 582, so Tiber Septim is not around.

The main quest clearly states that there is no dragonborn emperor or anyone with a legit claim for that.

Miraak is still hiding with Hermaeus Mora, but other than him its very unlikely that there are any dragonborns.

Nope.
That's the problem.

Varen Aquilarios trying to artificially make himself "dragonborn" is what messed up the world in ESO in the first place... just because he wanted to be a "proper" emperor, and as such you need to be dragonborn to light the dragonfires with the amulet of kings.

And if they had a dragonborn somewhere, they would gladly pop him or her on the throne, end the whole oblivion crisis with a relighting of the dragonfired that way... which won't happen until Tiber Septim as we know from the lore.

Exactly. So, 250, 300 years until the next true dragonborn surfaces.

The first dragonborn was Miraak, born in the Merithic Era which is waaaaaaaaaaay before the events of ESO

Although history does not record a dragonborn at the time of ESO, chances are that there is one out there somewhere and is either unaware of the fact, or hiding the fact.
