I've researched the world eater, a lot. And I have found many interpetations I'd like to share, firstly.

Alduin often referred himself to "The firstborn of Akatosh" yet he is commonly referred as a shard by the oversoul despite that, so it leads me to believe Alduin is referring to the oversoul rather than the divine. Which from his own accords mean he predates Akatosh the divine.

Many at first take the 7 fights of the Aldudagga as satire, and they aren't wrong, but I believe it could be an actual retelling of events with a satircal lense placed over it seeing as at moments it can be serious how it is conveyed, and then the next we have Molag bal breaking out into curses.

Now to do with Shor and Alduin, now obviously these two would be natrual enemies, yet I've heard interpretations where Shor fighting Alduin is just how the nords remember it and it was actually a battle between the Aka-tusk and Lorkhan. But my question is, the beggining of time can be typically referred as the beginning of a new Kalpa, where Alduin has been restarting Kalpas for an uncountable amount of years, he sleeps in the void between the Kalpas even, so unless it was reffering to the very first Kalpa, Alduin would have been a seperate entity than from what they implied, Alduin and the Aka-tusk typically are different beings unless I am missing something, I haven't done much research on that but I digress.

Does anyone have thoughts on this to correct or add?
