Lorkhan as a spirit, the son of Sithis, who convinced OTHER spirits, the Aedra, to give up pats of themselves to create the mortal realm, after which, they killed Lokrhan, and flung his heart to Mundus.

Aedra is an Aldmeri word meaning "our ancestors" it refers to those who gave themselves to creation, Lokhan did not, he is not an Aedra, he is not counted as an Ancestor by the Aldmeri or their splinter races.

Lorkhan is just a spirit, an et'ada.
