The All-Maker is Shor, Father of Shor. I'll explain.

"He was the Aka-Tusk, a somewhat foreign spirit (yeah, right) from the Totem Wars, and known mainly in the tongue of Men as the enemy-brother of Shor, and he said, "Look on them, my friends, and how the North has gone insane with the beating and beating of the Doom Drum, whose father they fool-talk call their All-Maker." - [https://www.imperial-library.info/content/fight-four-tenpenny-winteragain%E2%80%9D Fight Four, "The Tenpenny Winter... Again."]

We see Aka-Tusk (The Adversary, see below) discussing the father of the Doom Drum, who is Lorkhan. Given that the Seven Fights are a Nord story, we can then call this individual the father of Shor, who is also Shor.

"The Adversary has many aspects. He appears in the unholy beasts and the incurable plague. At the End of Seasons, we will know him as Thartaag the World-Devourer." - Aevar Stone-Singer

So we see here the Adversary called the "World-Devourer" a.k.a the World-Eater. This poinds to the Time Dragon as the Adversary. This aligns very well with Nordic mythology as the Dragan-as-the-enemy, such as what is seen in Shor, Son of Shor with Ald. Therefore, Aka-Tusk is the Adversary.

Now you might say, "Wait, this means Alduin would be the Adversary since this is the World-Devourer and Ald is Alduin, too. Well, just wait. Notice the "has many aspects" part and take note of

"And the third, who looked akin to a Karstaag-man, [gigantic], and adorned in storm cloud and endless, endless yellowtooth… [he] was Alduin the World-Eater, and he only said, "Ho ha ho."

“You will eat nothing here, aspect Ald,” said the Aka-Tusk, sensing trouble. “Do not forget that it was Heaven itself that shed you from me.” - Fight Four, "The Tenpenny Winter... Again."

Alduin is part of the Aka-Tusk, shed from him. Shor, the Doom Drum, is part of his father, born from him into the new Dawn and the new Kalpa. The Nords/Skaal seem to have some pretty detailed knowledge of subgradients.
