The Dominion fought the Empire to a stalemate; neither side could easily achieve victory, otherwise the Concordat would not have been signed. And on Talos, he/they was/were not granted divinity by the Aedra, but took it himself/themselves. He/they mantled Lorkhan and achieved CHIM. And I do believe you're correct in that regardless of race, any individual can extend his/her life through magical means.
