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. 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. its inclusion of tsun also suggests that lorkhan is in reality shor, basically the same thing only the nord version, so either its a bit of a plot hole or you could say that these deities appear in whichever form they are believed to exist in.
