I have seen Dovahsebrom describe it as them being mirror-siblings. They are not the same, but are practically identical in every way. Maloc-Malacath. Stuhn-Stendarr. etc Exactly.

My theory is that Aka and Lorkhan were the original (and only) Time and Space Gods before the Convenant. Then, they were broken by mortal believe. The shards (the Time and Space Gods we see after the Dawn Era) are basicly still parts of Lorkhan/Aka, but they developed their own mind. It's almost like Aka and Lorkhan have Schizophrenia. Mortal belief has just become my new favorite thing in Elder Scrolls lore.

Looking at it, I don't think Shor and Talos are related. Talos is a god, but isn't he more along the lines of a shezzarine. While Shor is just straight divine.
