Aren't Aedra the Gods that took part in the creation of Nirn? E.g. Auri-El, Lorkhan Aedra are the spirits who gave parts of themselves to the creation of Mundus.

Lorkhan is not an Aedra, as he gave nothing, he is not bound to the mortal plane like the others.

Talos is not an Aedra either, as he gave nothing of himself to the creation of Mundus, and is thus not bound to it either.
