Many years ago, there long lived a powerful mortal who ruled all of Tamriel. This mortal was king of a large vicinity. Yet he was not only powerful because of his place on the throne, he wielded the gift of being Dragonborn. Being Dragonborn means you were born of dragons blood. No mortal mind can understand how this unnatural phenomenon occurs. The only thing a mortal can understand is that a Dragonborn is chosen by the all maker.
The Dragonborn has a very powerful ability to use magic. Mortals can learn the skills of magic, but they can never conjure enough power to create the magic a Dragonborn can. The Dragonborn can also use a Thu'um, or shout in English. A Thu'um is not a chant, but a basic set of words that can cause the world around you to react. Very few people can learn how to use a thu'um, but those that do have a very great advantage against their enemies. But the Dragonborn.. oh.. there is no way any thu'um could defeat one. The Dragonborn can learn every thu'um with barely any training, and each time they use a thu'um, it grows even stronger.
There is one thing that I despise of the Dragonborn, and that is that he/she kills my kind. Heavy bloodshed has came among my dovah, dragon(s). The last thing I will tell you, though I do not know why I must, is that I will kill the Dragonborn and every single one of his descendants. I will not fail, because the Dragonborn will cower to my strength and weep before the dovah. Then, I will have my revenge.
-Alduin, the World Eater
