I want to through out a new idea.

What if all the heros are just random individuals who happen to find favor in the eyes of the Aedra? So one the Divines essentially guides the hero through the quest to save the world? In the Book of the Dragonborn, it says that a person is born, or gifted with dragon blood, or both, or neither, this would explain how the Dovahkiin bacame Dovahkiin, and how the Hero of Kvatch and the Nerevarine where able to complete said legendary feats. After the completetion of the given quest, the favor is taken and the fate of the hero truly lies in his/her hands.

Also, in the run of cyclical fate and how everything is simply repeating itself, who can say that, although it never happened before, the defeat of Alduin and the launch into uncharted terrritory with the Elder Scrolls is still a cycle. Simply a new cycle with a new set of events that have not occurred yet. The Elder Scrolls simply haven't seen the occurrance of these events yet and therefore cannot show the future, just the past and how the universe was set on its new course.
