Wasn't the first dragonborn Saint Alesia since it was her covenant with Akatosh that pretty much created the concept and started the tradition of dragonborn emperors?
Not necessarily. She may have become dragonborn by said covenant, but her line died out quite quickly. Anyone that wore the amulet of kings was dragonborn, such as Reman, Tiber Septim and Mankar Camoran. All it means is that to keep the covenant the emperor had to be a dragonborn, nothing else.

Peyrite is a dragon.  If Talos is a dragon than any of his childrens are, but if he no the first than they wouldn't...

The snake people are reptiles.  Any dragons on that funkified continent?

You mean Akavir? There is supposed to be a tiger-man that became a dragon there, but that's it.

Peryite is a daedra that looks like a dragon. If Molag Bal, Azura, or any other prince wanted to look like a dragon they also could.

Ah yes, Tosh Raka, the tiger-striped dragon of the Ka Po'Tun. Sucks that the Tsaesci hunted all the dragons to extinction, though.

Wasn't the first dragonborn mentioned in the tablets leading to High Hrontgar?
It's cannon, and you should be able to find a name there.
Actually, that's about the first Nords to learn the Voice, who weren't necessarily the first Dragonborn.

As is quite clear in the trailer, the first dragonborn is seen devouring the soul of three dragons. He also used to be a dragon priest, which means he is very old indeed.

Being dragon born technically has nothing to do with ancestry. They don't literally have a dragon ancestor, they have the sole of a dragon given to them by Akatosh. So on, Peryite has not sired any dragonborn, nor has anything from Akavir.

So a dragon priest goes heretic and kills a few dragons on his way out before he's sealed away?

Why did they not just kill him?

Obviously, the Underking still lives in Maryland.

It's pretty well established that at that point in time the Dragons were arrogant sons of bitches. What's more appealing? Killing the first mortal to challenge you, or breaking them? Leaving them alone in the dark for all eternity, with their Dragon Nature whispering in their ear how they could of claimed the world for themselves, all the power they could wield? And knowing they let it slip through their fingers forever...

It's been established power is the nature of the Dovah. It's why the Dragonborn had the strength of will to unite Tamriel, why when they all but died out Tamriel fell apart at the seams, and why you become leader of just about every guild imaginable, hunt and steal the souls of dragons and amass enough strength and power to dismantle the very gods. It is the nature of the Dovah. And to deny a Dovah of power is the ultimate punishment.

:D

Damn right =P

Though maybe I'm just projecting themes I like onto the game. Lust for power as an inherent instinct as opposed to a 'fault of their upbringing', insanity brought about by an eternity with only your thoughts...

I want the DLC (Well, all of them, really) because MOAR CONTENT. And since I'm a console gamer, the only way to get MOAR CONTENT is DLC. No mods for me. T_T
