So they try to suck up to him ahead of time and make it so that he has a really awesome life and he is rich and everyone likes him and he is blessed with awesome strength and skilled at fighting. But while they are working their Divine magic, some accidents happen. Arkay accidentally messes up a spell and accidentally creates the phenomenon of the draugr. Also Kyne and Shor kinda accidentally turn themselves mortal and catapult themselves into the future and have to wait to regain their powers, but when they do Kyne turns into an eagle and flies away, but the image of the eagle stays in stone, with divine energy within. Towards the start of the merethic era the dwemer come along and are like "woah, this is serious s**t" and try to harness it, but they mess up and have to flee before the magikal residue kills them. Thus a fragment of the 500 came to a perfectly built and preserved forge. TA DA!

that is a very fine theory
