I like the reference to the whole thing being rigged by the Aedra. Imagine if the whole storyline from game to game was ultimately leading to a huge, existence shattering war between the Aedra and the Deadra? The Aedra are trying to prep Nirn for something huge by putting in place these different things. They put the Naravarine Incarnate in place as a demi-god, they bring about events and whisper ideas and create circumstances for the Hero of Kvatch to become the new Sheogorath - giving them a Deadra on the inside, albeit an unpredictable one. Although that could be good, a randomly acting Deadra could do anything! Then you have the Dragonborn, stopping Alduin and bringing about gods only know what else down the road with any new DLC. The Dragonborn being the strongest voice of the Dovah, and stopping the return of the first Dragonborn ... the first Dragonpriest, even ... could have huge effects down the road.
