Been thinking about this incident for a while, and it just seems like a Chekov's gun, sort of.

- We know dragons dont grow old, or feeble, or die of old age.
- We know Olaf somehow got the dragon which is supposedly named Numinex to Whiterun from Mount Anthor, in Winterhold.
- We know Draugr Olaf hates the bard, while Sovngarde Olaf wants to be his drinking buddy.
- Nu Miin = Now Eye. Ex so far has no definition.
- Paarthurnax never mentions this dragon by name but he DOES say 'He did not even know his name' because he grew mad from solitude. Maybe he killed him when he visited, out of pity.
- Olaf's nickname is 'one-eye'. In Sovngarde, he's got 2...
- Unknown if Olaf had ability to shout before battle or discovered it during battle
- The skull exists above the throne. Oddly small though...
- The prison also exists.

All I got is disjointed theories, but maybe you guys can help me: First, it seems possible that this guy used a Tame shout on the dragon to fly it. Chekov's gun to this new DLC. Nu Miin = Now One. If Ex is 'eye'.... "Now you have One Eye"? The price for the Shout? To Olaf? To the Dragon? Maybe Olaf got named this after he got the shout...? Just feel like something worth figuring out is here. If mods think this is the wrong place and it should be in spoilers on Skyrim general... please move it. But I felt it was more tied to Dragonborn because of the theory.

Skyrim is heavily influenced by nordic mythology. Odin gave one of his eyes for wisdom in norse mythology. Dont really have much to contribute with but you sparked my interest
