Aren't Aedra the Gods that took part in the creation of Nirn? E.g. Auri-El, Lorkhan Aedra are the spirits who gave parts of themselves to the creation of Mundus.

Lorkhan is not an Aedra, as he gave nothing, he is not bound to the mortal plane like the others.

Talos is not an Aedra either, as he gave nothing of himself to the creation of Mundus, and is thus not bound to it either.

Aedra: Spirits who partook in the creation of Mundus and died after giving  themselves to it. 8 of the Aedra became the divines, many became the mortal races, and many more became the laws of reality, the earthbones.

Daedra: The spirits who chose not to take part in creation, they retain their full power because they gave none of themselves up.

Magne-Ge: The Spirits who fled creation along with Magnus and now live in Atherius. Well I am not sure if causing the process of creation process to begin with, is not giving anything to creation. But one thing for certain, Lorkhan/Shor was the brother of Auri-el/Akatosh. Some even belive that they are one and the same and that Akatosh killed himself as Auri-el and shot his own heart out somehow. I personaly, believe that Akatosh and Shor were brothers. Also, I am not sure if Shor have anything to do with creation of mortal men, but I do know that he was a husband of Kyne, who is considered to be the mother of Nords/Atmorans, and perhaps even all the original races of men.

Those facts might mean that he was in fact the Aedra, just like everyone else who created Nirn. Even if those 8 or 7 Aedra did took place in creation of Nirn and he did not, they didn't like what they created. Lorkhan/Shor on the other hand did like the Nirn and did all he could to protect it from Aedra who didn't like the fact that he made them create that.

I don't know haw many of you here are men, but don't you see? Shor is the greatest champion of men, the original Aedra who mer belive took place in creation, didn't really cared much about men. I belive they finally dealt with existance of men, when Stenddar/Sthun had ransomed them. But appearantly now Thalmor think that they are obsticle in their achivement of divinity, but before they can take care of their men problem, they have to get rid of a new champion of men in Autherius, Talos.
