Hello everybody!

 

First of all my compliments to whoever assembled all af the lore and information about all TES-games that is found here. Excellent work!

I've been looking around different forums(mostly on the official site) for threads where people actually know something about TES-lore and don't go wild speculating about things that are obviously not coherent with even the most basic knowledge about TES. After reading a bit here i am hopefull that i have fount it.

 

I'd like to apologise in advance of any spelling errors i may commit and stuff like that since i am not a native english speaker.

 

Oh, i allso have a question to the forums(this may be better placed somewhere else though).

Reading the recently released poem i noticed one thing that i haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.

 

Dragonborn Dragonborn
By his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay
And the fiercest foes rout
When they hear triumph's shout
Dragonborn for your blessing we pray

And the scrolls have fortold
Of black wings in the cold
That when brothers wage war come unfurled
Alduin bane of kings
Ancient shadow unbound
With a hunger to swallow the world

 

The underscored lines in the second verse doesn't rhyme like you would expect if you look at the first verse.

Why is that? I do not think it would have been that hard to make the lines rhyme and still convey the general concept contained within.

Is this som sort of hint or am i taking this puzzle thing to far?

Maybe it just hints at the new info that can be derived from the poem compared to what was allready known...

Since i in no way am an expert on TES-lore i don't like to speculate. But i would love to hear what others in here think.

Welcome and thank you for your compliments.  The Imperial Library has been assembled by a group of several people over the years.  Some have come and gone, but many still remain.  It is our love of TES Lore that keeps us going. 

 

As far as the non-rhyming lines, I cannot see any hidden clues or deeper meanings.  It appears that those lines just don't fit with the others.
