personally i think the very notion you could access sovngard directly (other than for story purposes) was a flaw in some of the lore because each race has their own version of sovngard, and they cant all exist at once can they? so by going to sovngard i think the writers were saying the only true heaven is the nord heaven. which would almost entirely prove the elves and their beliefs completely wrong. but i could be wrong here, maybe it has to do with what you believe in, or maybe sovngard was a small part of aetherius or a benevolent shard of oblivion, much like the malevolent soul cairn.
