The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

    Akatosh set up the Last Dragonborn to teach Alduin a lesson. "You start getting all 'I'm the First Born and I will rule!' on Me and I will send little squishy things to spank you. You eat worlds, not rule them. So behave. Or else."

    That's actually a really good point. Though, didn't Alduin already learn his lesson after being sent forward in time and actually tried to end the world? Or do you mean, since he was still quite arrogant and didn't think anyone could defeat him, Akatosh showed him a lesson by removing his pride?

Both backstory and final of Skyrim has us sent him further away into the future with the help of Elder Scrolls. It's as if Akatosh threw him into time stream at random... or if somebody, who can control time, is screwing with Alduin;)

    I love Fudge Muppet but I think they’re a tiny bit off on this one. Paarthurnax says that Alduin wandered off of the path of his true destiny. He tried to conquer and enslave the mortal races of Skyrim, not bring an end to the kalpa. I would say THAT, makes him evil. Not his true purpose.

    Important to make a distinction between "he's not evil" and "he's not inherently evil". The role of World Eater isn't evil. The entity himself isn't very endearing, bit Alduin as an element of creation isn't evil.

    I feel like his purpose is not evil at all, but Alduin himself got corrupted by lust for power and thus turned evil. When he was sent forward in time, the Last Dragonborn appeared to kill Alduin so that he may one day be reborn and fulfill his purpose. This might also be why the Last Dragonborn is called "the last", as only a Dragonborn can kill Alduin, and lack of any other Dragonborn in the future literally means an inevitable end if Alduin returns.

    Alduin may be loosely based on the serpent Nidhog (sp? I could do with brushing up on Norse mythology ad well). Nidhog lives at the base of Yggdrasil the world tree and is constantly gnawing and tearing at it's roots. Unlike Alduin, Nidhog never causes any real harm as far as I know but they do have some similarities.

    I’m pretty sure the whole “Akatosh is three beings” thing is bs now since Alduin proudly refers to himself as the firstborn of Akatosh, also the other Dragons refer to him as brother, and only respect him due to his power. Not only that but we have zero proof that the Dragon Break that intended to separate Auriel and Akatosh was successful. I believe Alduin indeed has a role bestowed by the gods, and that the kalpa process is a much more metaphorical over literal and all happens in the same planet and cosmos.

    Bare with me for this is a long-ass comment. Todd Howard Confirmed Alduin Wasn’t Original Villain of Skyrim: It Was a Forgotten But Deadly Warrior Who Nearly Conquered a Whole Continent. The Elder Scrolls series, renowned for its rich and expansive lore, features characters that run equally deep. Among them, the Septim Dynasty holds a position of immense power and influence, with Uriel Septim V, the seventeenth emperor, being a particularly intriguing figure. Uriel Septim V’s claim to fame lies in his prowess as a warrior emperor. Upon ascending the throne in 3E 268 of the Third Era, he swiftly set about restoring the Empire’s military prestige. His campaigns were met with success, with conquests of Roscrea, Cathnoquey, Yneslea, and Esroniet broadening the Empire’s reach. However, his ambition ultimately led him to a disastrous invasion of Akavir, a mysterious continent east of Tamriel. Despite amassing a formidable army, Uriel V fell in the Battle of Ionith (3E 290), marking a crushing defeat known as the ‘Disaster at Ionith’. This event not only forced the Imperial army to retreat, but also cemented Akavir’s reputation as an unconquerable land. This concept is quite a departure from the game’s actual main antagonist, Alduin the World-Eater. In this alternate storyline, Uriel Septim V would have returned from Akavir not as a fallen emperor, but as a conqueror wielding a fearsome army of dragons. His own Dragonborn powers would have fueled his ambition, not for world destruction as with Alduin, but for the subjugation of Tamriel itself. The concept of a tyrannical Dragonborn emperor leading an army of dragons is undeniably compelling, and even Bethesda reportedly thought so. While ultimately scrapped in favor of Alduin, this alternate vision for Uriel Septim V undeniably left its mark on the game. Miraak, the antagonist introduced in the Dragonborn DLC, bears a striking resemblance to the original villainous Uriel Septim V, with both characters wielding the power of the Dragonborn for personal gain. As transformative an experience Skyrim already is, Uriel Septim V’s potential villain role in the game does sound tantalizing as well, drawing on his legacy of conquests. It also serves as a reminder of the series’ extensive lore, where even seemingly minor characters can set off domino effects that can last well into the future.

Think of all the factors that determine where a soul goes when the die. Honorable nords go to Sovngarde. Souls can be damned to Camarons paradise with a simple vow. And so many more. What makes death work that way? Is there an arbitrator or is each avenue of death separate from another while still beholden to each afterlife’s rules? Could be interesting.

    I agree with you that his role as World-Eater is a crucial part of the cycle of Nirn. But Alduin has long since shirked his duty of ending the World in favor of ruling it. And the longer he spent as a God-King, he became increasingly arrogant, sadistic and petty. He rather reminds me of Melkor, a once-great being of near-infinite wisdom, brought low by pride and megalomania.

    Hey Fudge, I just had a thought while in the shower. You said Alduin represents the end of time as an aspect of Akatosh. Essentially Alduin is the standard reset on the world. Without him this means without divine intervention the current Kalpa won't end. Well that got me to thinking; with Alduin now being punished and returned to the over-soul Akatosh now has a problem: how to bring the current Kalpa to an end. So, who is desperate, stupid, and manipulable enough to end the Kalpa without divine intervention? *looks west* Hmmmm... And it just so happens the Aldmari Dominion gets their hands on information that says if they shut down all towers of creation time and the world will end. I now think Akatosh has manipulated the High Elves into performing a "hard reset" on the world. They shut down the towers, the current Kalpa ends, the gods reactivate them, hello new Dawn Era.

If this is the case, then with Alduin gone, there could be a different World Eater chosen to end the current Kalpa.

    Sounds like something you should ask on Nexus forums or something similar rather than a KZread comments section, but I'd guess you'd want to look into quest scripting if you want the process to happen automatically. I don't know enough scripting to help further, so you'd have to look into that on your own. Alternatively, if you have the actor's reference ID and the target cell's editor ID, you can do the process manually with console commands. You can use the following commands: 1.《prid [actor ref. id]》 to "print" the reference id, which is basically just selecting the actor. I recommend you install the mfg console mod to make sure you have the right id 2.《coc [cell editor id]》 to send yourself to the cell you want to move the actor to 3.《moveto player》to move the actor to the player, who is in the target cell 4.《coc whiterun》 to teleport yourself out of the cell and back into the main Skyrim worldspace
