巨龙战争
在精灵纪元，当伊斯格拉谟第一次踏足泰姆瑞尔大陆时，他的子民一并带上了他们对动物神祗的信仰。一些学者认为这些史前人类的信仰，实际上就是如今的圣灵，只不过当时以某些图腾动物的形态出现而已。他们将鹰，狼，蛇，蛾，枭，鲸，熊，狐以及龙当做神来崇拜。现如今你在天际的古墓探险时依然会时不时地被某些破损的图腾石碑绊倒。
这些动物中最强的就是龙了。用诺德古代语言来说就是“德拉贡”，偶尔也有人用“都瓦”来称呼它们。但如今这种语言已经湮灭在历史的长河中。除了龙祭祀以外，任何人都不被允许使用这两种称呼。圣庙就是用于敬奉及祭祀龙的，这些圣庙如今大多变成废墟，无数尸鬼与亡灵龙祭祀在其中游荡。
龙，将自己标榜为人族之上的神王。毕竟，它们的外表和阿卡托什看起来又有多大的区别？难道它们不是在每一个方面都胜过其他渺小软弱并崇拜它们的生物？对龙来说，力量就是真理。它们拥有力量，所以它们必然是真理。龙赐予龙祭祀少许力量，交换来绝对的忠诚。反过来说，龙祭祀的地位也与人皇无异。而龙，当然对所谓统治之类的小事毫无兴趣。
在阿特莫拉——伊斯格拉谟及其子民曾居住的地方，龙祭祀命令人们纳贡并设立法典以维持龙与人类和谐相处。但在泰姆瑞尔，龙祭祀就没那么仁慈了。或许是因为某个野心勃勃的龙祭祀，或者是某条龙，或者王室积弱。无论如何，龙祭祀开始展开铁拳统治，奴役众人。
民众有反抗，龙祭祀就镇压。当龙祭祀无法再收集到足够的贡品，巨龙的反应迅速而残酷。巨龙战争就此开始。
一开始，人类成千上万的死去。古文献显示，有少量龙站在人类这一边，无人知晓其原因。九圣灵的祭祀宣称是阿卡托什亲自干预了此事。人们从这些龙身上学到了魔法用以抵抗巨龙。胜利的天平开始向人类倾斜，而龙开始出现伤亡。
这是一场漫长而血腥的战争。最终龙祭祀政权被推翻而龙族被大量屠杀。剩下的龙被驱逐，转而生活在远离人类的地方。龙的信徒努力活了下来，他们修建龙墓，用以埋葬战争中陨落的龙。他们相信总有一天龙会回来以回报他们的忠诚。
The Dragon War
The Dragon War
In the Merethic Era, when Ysgramor first set foot on Tamriel, his people brought with them a faith that worshipped animal gods. Certain scholars believe these primitive people actually worshipped the divines as we know them, just in the form of these totem animals. They deified the hawk, wolf, snake, moth, owl, whale, bear, fox, and the dragon. Every now and then you can stumble across the broken stone totems in the farther reaches of Skyrim.
Foremost among all animals was the dragon. In the ancient nordic tongue it was drah-gkon. Occasionally the term dov-rha is used, but the language or derivation of that is not known. Using either name was forbidden to all except the dragon priests. Grand temples were built to honor the dragons and appease them. Many of them survive today as ancient ruins haunted by draugr and undead dragon priests.
Dragons, being dragons, embraced their role as god-kings over men. After all, were they not fashioned in Akatosh's own image? Were they not superior in every way to the hordes of small, soft creatures that worshipped them? For dragons, power equals truth. They had the power, so therefore it must be truth. Dragons granted small amounts of power to the dragon priests in exchange for absolute obedience. In turn, the dragon priests ruled men as equals to the kings. Dragons, of course, could not be bothered with actually ruling.
In Atmora, where Ysgramor and his people came from, the dragon priests demanded tribute and set down laws and codes of living that kept peace between dragons and men. In Tamriel, they were not nearly as benevolent. It's unclear if this was due to an ambitious dragon priest, or a particular dragon, or a series of weak kings. Whatever the cause, the dragon priests began to rule with an iron fist, making virtual slaves of the rest of the population.
When the populace rebelled, the dragon priests retaliated. When the dragon priests could not collect the tribute or control the masses, the dragons' response was swift and brutal. So it was the Dragon War began.
At first, men died by the thousands. The ancient texts reveal that a few dragons took the side of men. Why they did this is not known. The priests of the Nine Divines claim it was Akatosh himself that intervened. From these dragons men learned magics to use against dragons. The tide began to turn and dragons began to die too.
The war was long and bloody. The dragon priests were overthrown and dragons were slaughtered in large numbers. The surviving dragons scattered, choosing to live in remote places away from men. The dragon cult itself adapted and survived. They built the dragon mounds, entombing the remains of dragons that fell in the war. They believed that one day the dragons would rise again and reward the faithful.
