Konahrik was the town drunk but he made the dragons laugh so they made a mask for him to wear so he wouldn't get killed. See Konahrik was a really beligerant drunk. And he just made a huge mess everywhere he went but he made the dragons laugh so no one could do anything about it. However, he eventually drank himself to death. The priests were terrified that one day another heavy drinker would come and make the dragons laugh and thus make ther lives all that much harder. So they locked the dragon mask away. It was them locking the mask away that made Alduin decide to eat the world. With out his drinking buddy he saw no point in Nirn and decided he should just eat it. True story, really, buy me another ale and I'll tell you more.
