#There's a precedent for fearful worship of him amongst the nords even post dragon war

[greyborn2]

Y'know, I think there's so much missed opportunity in (well, I mean, skyrim is full of missed opportunities but this thing in particular!!) not having the game feature the rise of a second dragon cult. As far as we know, up until we beat him at the throat of the world, Alduin isn't super interested in eating the world and Doing His One Job. He wants to re-establish his kingdom of old. Put the nords back under his proverbial thumb (do dragons in their dragonish form even have thumbs? Never checked). I think it could've been really neat to basically have it so that, as the game progresses, more and more bandit camps are replaced by Dragon Cult camps. Folks going "Y'know what. This civil war sucks. The Empire sucks. The Stormcloaks suck. The Dragons say they're not gonna eat them if we just pray to them and maybe skyrim will be better under them" etc etc etc. IDK, I can definitely see Joenjall Farmerson putting aside his farming tools, going fuck it, and joining a renewed Dragon Cult. Plus it would add some more, interesting, enemy diversity. Heck maybe you could even see them sometimes co-habitating with the Draugr.
