See, I don't like going down the "CHIM" and "Godhead" road, because it lacks a solid in game understanding that anyone who doesn't dig around in outside content would understand. It all just seems highly speculative.

But, ignoring my personal take on the subject, assuming everything requires duality, why are creations of such allowed to defy original function? Was Alduin's original purpose to rule over men? Why is Shor and Soverngarde only seen directly related to Men (more specifically Nords and Atmorans), while Alduin is the Destroyer of the World as a whole? If it Alduin's existence is required, how is he capable of being defeated?
