The thought is that Shor was the part thrown into afterlife and Shezzar is a wondering spirit/ghost inhabiting bodies of heroes. There's nothing saying they're aren't the same thing though. It's possible (although I'm open to other interpretations) that when there's a Shezzarine, Shor might not be in Sovnguarde. Just a thought. Shor is stated as having been dead and missing for a long time in Nordic mythology. It is said that when he returns he will lead all the souls in Sovngarde and the Nordic gods against the Elven gods one more time.

The Nordic and Elven gods are said to have fought many times, in one of those battles Shor died. Tsun also died in one of those battles. That is why Tsun is in Sovngarde, he is also dead.

Sure, but the goal of the army is to stop the Kalpic cycle so someone can achieve Amaranth. This is Lorkhan's plan. Also Shor isn't just kind of Lorkhan, he is Lorkhan, or more specifically, a piece of Lorkhan. Shor is Lorkhan just as much as Shezzar is. Their both bits of his soul. Shor has an active role in Sovnguarde.
