Now, I found something that makes no sense. It's about Rorikstead being named after Rorik, whom the Dragonborn meets. and the fact that Rorikstead or Rorik's steading as it was called in the First era. Rorik himself states that the town is nmaed after him, a nord.

This means that Rorik has been alive for thousand of years, having survived through the first, second, third and fourth era. Apparently he must have been the first Nord, if he's from that age. Is there a major inconsistency here?
