for the actual question, the way the seneschal talks about the arisen implies that the arisen are just ordinary people with an unusual amount of "will" and the dragon is sent by the seneschal to test them. Assuming dragons dont just show up without arisen to test this could mean all of those killed by the seneschal are sent somewhere else until someone with enough will to be the next arisen comes around (as evidenced by the falling in and out of rifts in the cutscenes)

the problem with this is

what makes sure an arisen shows up at all?

maybe, there isnt anything. Nothing can kill the seneschal except godsbane so they just have to sit around, half-dead til someone has the potential to change that. i guess. who designed this system what the hell
