If we're going by the assumption that when these higher beings are killed, daedra included, they just split into fragments of new beings, As Mehrunes Dagon had a previous form and name before his current one, do we consider them being dead or reincarnated into a new form?

This also applies to Alduin too seeing how our previous discussions were about if he's a god which i kinda disagreed with The only two to get shards are Aka and Lorkhan. The others are just aspects of the same being worshiped by other cultures which in turn create semi-new beings (i.e. Kyne/Kynereth/Khenarthi). On top of that, Lorkhan was the only one to actually die. Aka was just shatterd. They are quite different than the other et'ada as they are direct soul sub-gredient "decendants" of Anu and Padomay, unlike the other et'ada.

Dagon didn't shatter or reincarnate. He was cursed by Alduin for attempting to trick him.

Alduin might have shattered more (he's a shattered piece of Aka). I'm currently entertaining the idea that he's floating around lost in time as the Time Ghost similarly to how Lorkhan is in space is the Void Ghost.

They don't think Talos isn't a god. They're lying about that. They want him to not be a god. Talos is Lorkhan and they hate Lorkhan. Talos is also holding Mundus together and they hate Mundus. They want him gone so they can return to the Dawn. That's why Talos worship is outlawed.
