What is the dragonborn's purpose?

Ok to get back to the original part of the topic. Riddle me this. What does it mean when some NPC's in the game refer to the dragonborn as "Doom Driven"?

 

"Doom" in this context refers to Destiny. Typically this means an unhappy destiny. It's a less fun version of "Fate Driven". Fate Driven simply means it's unavoidable; Doom Driven means it's an unstoppable and unpleasant end.

 

This is a literary vehicle and phrase. Tolkien-esque in a way. When the NPCs say the Dragonborn is "Doom Driven", they mean to say it is tragic, but the Dragonborn does what he is fated to to even if it means his undoing or death.
