Dragons? Darkness and light? Dragon bone armor? The Nine? I could've swore i quite playing skyrim months ago? However to add to this jumbled tail, what if the dragons were killed because they, (much like the serpent in Genesis ) was the one who taught the masses about wielding the light? It was a power housed solely in the traveler, and now the common man, (or exo) can utilize it? Sure lore says the traveler bequeathed it to us in his final moments, but wouldn't it be perfect dogma to take credit for it? As punishment for sharing the travelers secrets the dragons were hunted to extinction, and as penitence for making a deal with them, the first guardians to wield the light were forced to hunt down and kill their teachers? The role of the speaker was established to keep the actual truth in secret and ensure future guardians were focused else where other than the seeking of arcane enlightenment?
