Both are sent on Mundus to fulfil their destinies. Prophecy. Apparently Alduin is sent in to end the world and bring forth the New Kalpa, yet the Dragonborn is sent in to stop this? Who? What? Why?

Alduin is fulfilling his duty of World-Eater. We know this for certain for a few reasons.

1. He's only here cuz a couple Nords sent him here from the past right after he ate the last kalpa.

2. Right after he he ate the last kalpa he said F this and tried ruling mortals instead of buggering off.

3. Alduin is obviously not eating the world because when he does he is literally unatoppable. And yet he was stopped.
