The Elder Scrolls are recording devices of Magnus that collect history. They are controlled by the Mnemoli.

Regarding Alduin; I feel like this should be brought up.

"Sister Hawk, grant us your sacred breath to make this contract heard. Begone, World-Eater! By words with older bones than your own we break your perch on this age and send you out! You are banished! Alduin, we shout you out from all our endings unto the last!"

-Felldir the Old

What this seems to say is that Felldir either;


 * Asked Kyne to make the contract (banishiment of Alduin) heard by who knows what (Magnus maybe, possibly Akatosh).


 * Somehow utilized the Thu'um to make the Elder Scroll have the banishment effect.
