Are Dragonknights related to the Dragonborn?

Really curious if DKs technically are related to Dragonborns (people with blood and soul of a dragon).
How is a DK (or any class for that matter) made? Are these powers gifted from the Divines like how Akatosh can bless an individual to have dragon blood?

✭✭✭✭I don't think there's any relation to the Dragonborn. Lore wise they are related to the Akaviri art of war.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

✭✭✭✭✭No, Dragonknight's fighting style is derived from the Akaviri invaders who tried to mimic dragons with conventional magic. Dragonknight's spells and abilities are deeply rooted in destruction and alteration based magic with their flame breath not uttering a single syllable of the Dragon's flame shout. (Which is yol toor shul)
Also the poison aspect of Dragonknights is destruction magic to, but because of game mechanics they cost stamina instead of magicka which would be more appropriate if we were playing Morrowind or the other single player TES games.

✭✭✭✭✭It's not entirely settled that Dragonknights are using ordinary magic like any other. The Thu'um has been compared to the Akaviri kiai, which in turn is likely an immitation of the Thu'um if Dragons indeed come from Akavir. We still know too little about the Akaviri to rule out the possibility that their martial arts can bend reality the same way (but different) the Thu'um and tonal magic of the Dwemer do. So while their powers are not the same as the Thu'um they might be vaguely related - both being voice-based powers that don't use magicka the way spells do (in the lore, but ingame they obviously do for balance reasons).
All we know for certain is that it comes from the Akaviri.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.1 -
moleculardrugs✭✭✭✭Your analysis and synthesis of Lore and Play was awesome
Never thought about tonal magic bending reality similar to ways the Thu'um would...0 -

Cool. I had not heard of the quote until now. I left a comment on a forum post about Daerdra and it was sort of similar to the idea of using an enemies power against the enemy.0 -

To be clear, it's not a lore quote so much as it is my character explaining how she got her dragonknight skills.
