YMMV / Rise of the Dragon Child

• Harsher in Hindsight: The story opens right after the True Dragonborn's murder by the Thalmor faction, forcing a horrified and enraged Akatosh to look for a substitute. In chapter 20, Paarthunax shows Harry the grave, and solemnly confesses Rael of Bruma was the grandson to a good friend of Martin Septim, who later ascended and fused with Akatosh. The Time-God's anger in the first chapter wasn't just because the Thalmor foolishly endangered the world, it was personal to him.
