Alduin is a god, bro. No he is not he is close to a god but he is not one mehrunes dagon would have killed him with ease Uh huh. So every book that mentions him and calls him a god is just bullshit?

Also, there's this one time that Alduin cursed a dude and you know... Created Dagon. So there's that.

Let me help you out here. Alduin is a piece of a greater whole called the Time Dragon. The Nords/Skaal use the name Aka-Tusk. In the community we tend to use Aka or AKA. It is the original. It is the Oversoul of all Dragons. He was fractured and split into lesser subgradients. The largest of these are the Dragon God's, Auri-El, Akatosh, Alkosh, and Alduin. Later Tosh-Raka joined the club via Dracocrysalis. You see, Auri-El represents the beginning of time, Akatosh the present, and Alduin the end. The dov, jills, and dovahkiin are smaller, lesser shards of the whole. And to finish this off, the dov are not just "tiny puny lizards." They are Ada. They are biological time machines. Wasn't the Dragons more or less pieces of a divine thus considered gods to a lesser degree but  and Alduin is one of the bigger piece thus considered Gods to a greater degree?
