Most Nords will certainly still end up having their souls recycled in the Dreamsleeve anyway. Sovngarde is by-and-large apparently an afterlife for Heroes only. You have to be worthy and honorable to get there, yes. And to get inside Shor's Hall you need to defeat Tsun to prove your worth as a warrior.

What's to be considered canon lore as far as the Pocket Guides are concerned is left up to MK to decide.

(Edit): As far as I know, however, MK seems to have been a little kinder toward the 3rd Edition.

Oh yes, and MK had indeed still been writing Lore for Oblivion & Skyrim on the side, in the previous years. Bethesda still really loves the guy for his works. MK doesn't work at Bethesda anymore, though they still sometimes hire him to right some lore for TES. However, everything he rights isn't canon. Only things acknowledged by Bethesda, for example, things that are put in-game, and some out of game things are considered Canon. Everything else is his own Head-canon/Fanon. That is why anything that he says is taken with a grain of salt by almost everyone.

He has only made very minor contributions to Oblivion and Skyrim, as opposed to Morrowind when he was a full member of the creative team.
