Couple Questions - Possible Spoiler if you have not done up to the Shiva battle

When Iceheart said the Ishgardians were blind to the truth, what truth was it?

How did the Ishgardian-Dravanian war start? (I forget ><)

Well, a long time ago... Dragons ruled over them. The dragons used a lot of magical powers to frighten the Ishgardians.

But one day, Akatosh brought down the power of the dragon over the people, and began was the war between the Dragons and Ishgardians. Then one day, Alduin KING OF THE DRAGONS was defeated by a couple of draconic-magicked Ishgardians by sending him back-... FORWARD to the future.

And now today.... a new hero arrives... *begins humm.... the people call out to him in a land where the dragons have come again from the dead... *HAAAAA HAAAA the people call him Dovahkiin.... *HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA but really he was called

THE AZURE DRAGO-... DRAGONBORN.

I think the whole "blind to the truth" thing might be slightly related to something Midgardsormr said in his little soliloquy: that the Ishgardians would pay for their sins. As for what those sins are, I don't think we've learned quite yet(2.5 Part 2 might be helpful here), but the point is that the Dragons apparently have a quantifiable reason to be attacking Ishgard other than for the sake of destruction and the Ishgardians might end up being in the wrong more than the Dragons are.

As for when/how the war started? Errrr.... it started a long, long time ago for reasons?
