How was the first Dragonborn created?

The creation of the first Dragonborn depends on the fictional universe, but in The Elder Scrolls, the first recognized Dragonborn was Miraak, blessed by the dragon god Akatosh to possess dragon blood and the soul of a dragon, giving them immense power and the ability to absorb dragon souls and use the Thu'um (Dragon Voice). Other lore suggests Dragonborn are fragments of Akatosh's soul, while different settings (like Dungeons & Dragons) offer varied origins, from being shaped by dragon gods like Io or hatched from dragon eggs.

How were the dragonborn created?

Dragonborn are typically hatched from eggs, originally created by dragon gods or powerful dragons as servants or companions, blending humanoid and draconic traits, but now reproduce themselves through egg-laying, bearing clutches of one to five eggs that gestate for months, much like their ancestors. While their origins vary by D&D setting (e.g., divine blessing by Bahamut/Tiamat, magical rituals, or sorcerer-kings in Dark Sun), modern Dragonborn procreate like dragons, laying eggs that are guarded by their parents and "shell-kin" (godparents).
