Actually, Sovngarde is kind of a plane of oblivion, just like coldharbour and other daedric lords' planes of oblivion. If you have played the other ES games in most of them after becoming a champion of a daedric lord, they say that they will be expecting us in their plane of oblivion in afterlife. When someone dies and not soultrapped by someone (because if you are soultrapped you end up in the Soul Cairn (but i would bet that if you had some kind of aedra or daedra backing you up, even soultrapping couldn't keep you there)) their soul ends up in the waters of oblivion. After drifting for a while they end up in one of those planes, most of the time the soul is drifted to the plane that have some kind of connection to theirs which is most of the time their kins' souls and stuff. However, if your deeds in life somehow got attention of an aedra or a daedra, they will take your soul from the waters of oblivion and place it in their realm. So if you manage to get the attention of Shor you can end up in Sovngarde BUT Shor is dead and thats a problem. The only way for you to end up in Sovngarde is to connect your soul to the nords that is possibly going to go sovngarde and somehow get the strong souls' attention who resides in Sovngarde, like Tsun to guide you there in afterlife.

My point is, if ebony warrior did not make any pacts with a daedra lord or didn't/couldn't get the attention of an aedra he has a chance to get to Sovngarde in afterlife. If he managed to get the attention of an aedra which is possible with the things he claim (doing all the quests, killing the bad guys and stuff) aedras can help the souls to get where they seem fit, and in this case its Sovngarde, that Redguard will have his dream come true.
