Dragonborn well it effect the fallen quest and Odahviing?

[BrettM]

Dragons don't mate, if they all die then they're all dead either untill the next Kalpa comes around and reality reboots, or Alduin ressurects them. Dragons aren't born, they have always existed.

At one point Odahviing refers to Paarthurnax as "the old one." If dragons have always existed, how can they be different ages?

 

Because they where created by Akatosh at different times, Alduin being the first and most powerful.

You seem to have missed the "if" in my question, so perhaps I was being too subtle in trying to make my point. Your explanation of dragon age differences is the obvious one, but it is not consistent with dragons having always existed. If Paarthurnax is older, then Odahviing did not exist when Paarth was created. If there was a period when Odahviing did not exist, then he could not have always existed.

Odahviing didn't always exist, he was created by Akatosh at some point. Perhaps in the first world along with Alduin, perhaps in one of the new kalpas. It's Irrelevant.
