Maybe it's a trick name. The next Dragonborn would say, "that last Dragonborn killed Alduin!"

Get it?

The prophecy of the Tower things is understandable. Jagar Tharn, Numidium, Tribunal, Uriel and Throat of the World.

However, the grammatics are such that it all must occur simultaneously. For this, we can see some alternate meanings.

Misrule: The thalmor control the world.

Time reshaped: Alduin was warped from another time into this era.

The Brass Tower: Note that the Dragon Break caused such confusion that the Numidium may or may not have ever "walked". The Worm King and Underking endings in Daggerfall apply to this.

The thrice blessed and Dragonborn King: They fell, are when they have fallen, so nothing different here.

The last line is the only temporally correct line, in regards to grammar.

This stuff is important 'cause all these prophecy mumbo jumbo writing is actually cleverly planned.
