Most laws are made up, and that includes most of this thread.

Old thread, but the amount of ignorance here is staggering. D&D first referenced Dragonborn in some 3.5 sourcebooks back in 2006. Tiber Septim has been a Dragonborn in ingame lore since Elder Scrolls 1, back in 1994. Bethesda has had their Dragonborn for 12 years longer, ergo, the original poster is right. Sorry D&D players, your hobby didn't invent everything.

you are wrong.....

In the core 2nd edition Monster Manual, they were called Sauriels. Though the creatures looked like dragons, they were actually distantly related to dinosaurs, so they only vaguely count as "proto-dragonborn." These creatures were also present in the 1st edition Forgotten Realms setting, and appear in print originally in the novel Azure Bonds, published in 1988.

Except they weren't called Dragonborn, they are not related to Dragonborn, so what does this have to do with the first appearance of the term Dragonborn, since that is the only thing the Skyrim and D&D Dragonborn have in common. Heck, Saurials aren't even native to the Realms.
