On World Eating: There is one simpe fact that proves that Alduin was not here to eat the world. When fulfilling his role as World-Eater he is 100% unstopable. Nothing can stop him, not even a Prisoner. We know he came from the Dragon Wars where he was enslaving everyone. He was shunted forward in time to keep him from it. You think he's just going to stop? He believes that dov are the rightful rulers.

On his demise: Was Lorkhan killed? Yes-ish. The gradient being of Lorkhan was slain, but instead of killing him, it created subgradients. Shor, Shezarr, Sheor, and the like, are all Lorkhan. A similar thing happened to Aka (just not with the killing part) which created Auri-El, Alduin, Alkosh, and so on. So how can we say that Alduin is dead when Lorkhan didn't die. The Eight aren't even fully dead, nor are the earth bones. So how can we say that Alduin is dead? The real question is what happened to him? His soul wasn't absorbed by the LDB so that leaves several posibilities.

On his divinity: I'll keep this short and simple. He's on the same sub-gradient level as Auri-El, Shor, Akatosh, Shezarr, Alkosh, and other Aka and Lorkhan shards. They're all gods, how is Alduin not?
