You have to realize that The Seven Fights of The Aldudagga are legends, interpretations of the ancient Nords, everything said in them may not necessarily be exactly how things went down. When you read texts like this you have to look at them from an inherent perspective, for example, the Seven Fights seem to provide evidence that there is some sort of heavy connection between Mehrunes Dagon and Alduin, which is very believable seeing as they are both gods of destruction. Basically the text is saying that the Nords believe the  reason why Mehrunes Dagon is a god of destruction was because he was cursed to be so by the greatest god of destruction.

Sheoth is a Divine spark of Lorkhan, and on the other it is said that he is a curse made for Jyggy by the other DPs. I hope in the future the lore of Sheogorath will be made clear, What is Lorkhans relation with him ? Did the DPs create a being and put Jyggy inside of It ? Or did the DPs punched Jyggys head together that he became Nuts ? When you see contradictions like this, you shouldn't think which one is true? You should think in what way could these both be true?

One of Lorkhan's notable features is his duality. In the sky his body is depicted by two moons, and if you want to believe Khajiit Myth, the moons themselves are split in personality between Jone and Jude, and the shadows that lie behind them. In TES, duality is always conflicting, and this can sort of be seen by how Lorkhan is either worshiped as a bringer of creation and life, or as a demon who imprisoned the gods and mortals.

In The Monomyth, the Altmeri creation myth states that Sithis was, for all intents and purposes, the shadow of Anui-El and was merely a limit that proved that Anuiel's light could not reach everything. But, in Sithis, it is stated that Anui-El was merely an enslaver of the universe, one who was pondered up amongst the limitless possibilities that could derive from a god who represents nothingness. However, both books agree that the forces of Sithis and Anui-El, in someway, mix to encompass what is the Aurbis.

This is pretty much exactly how you should see the conflictions between Jyggalag and Sheogorath. It is impossible to know which one truly came first, or whether one came first to begin with. Instead they should be viewed both as aspects of a single entity (like the Aurbis) that attempt to completely oppose and differentiate each other. This is the gist of the Enantiomorph.

Titles put towards a Character with unclear meaning : Nerevarine, Dragon-born ? not saying it won't be cool if Nerevarine is an actual DB, but what actually bothers me is that it's not made clear enough ; Zurin Arctus, Avatar of Lorkhan ? is he an actual Avatar or is it just a title made for him cuz he's a powerfull wizard ? It would be cool if he is and way cooler if it was made clear ; Dumac, Dwarf-king ? they say the Dwemers are not an actual dwarf, or are they ? did they put some height lifter armor ? or is it just Dumac who is a Dwarf amongst his kin ? Not sure what you mean with the first line there, are you asking if the Nerevarine is a Dragonborn? If so, no. He's a reincarnation of Nerevar.

I'd say Zurin Arctus has enough supernaturalities about him to be considered a legitament avatar of Lorkhan.

As for Dumac, he has even weirder names, such as Dwarf-Orc and Dumalacath. While speculatory, there are some pretty goddamn interesting theories on why this is.

Green-Pact, wood elves....? canniballs.......? please tell me that Green-Pact is just a religion which is optional for any Men or Mer... not a unique shit that all Bosmer actually do It's certainly a religion, seemingly exclusive to the Bosmer in Valenwood. Can't help but think it is an ironic joke on Bethesda's part, making the stereotypical nature-elves into cannibals.
