If you have a weakness for pale, dark-eyed men these Dawnguard screens are not for you. The vampires joining The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are the other kind. The kind that rips your face off and wears it as a hat.

Trademark for Dragonborn filed by ZeniMax

20120209skyrim_2

ZeniMax has filed another trademark pertaining to Skyrim, and where as last month it was the shout Fus Ro Dah, this time it’s the term Dragonborn. It was filed on May 15 under goods and services, meaning it could pertain to anything gaming related or it was filed to stop people cashing in on unsanctioned t-shirts, bumper stickers or other consumer goods. Earlier this week, the firm sent a copyright infringement notice to the Dragon Shout app maker, and it’s worth noting that Dragonborn is also a race in Dungeons & Dragons, but we’re unsure at press time whether Wizards of the Coast have rights to the term or not. Thanks, Fusible.
