Forgive me for this question, I don't mean to insult, especially since english is definitely not everyone's first language, but do you mean purpose?

I will continue and touch specifically on your question first:

"The last battle" is also the first battle. Between each kalpa (think world cycle) is the Dawn Era. During the Dawn Era the War of Manifest Metaphors takes place where those who follow Lorkhan/Shor/Shezarr/Sheor do battle with those who follow Auri-El/Ald/Aka. Shor Son of Shor calls it "the Awful Fighting."

As far as the purpose of Tamriel, that's a short aswer with a complicated explenation. The purpose is to create an Amaranth, which is when a person sacrafices himself to create a new universe. He knew that the immortal et'ada would never be able to achieve such a state, so mortality had to be created.
