Shezzarines are the Champions of Man. Ironically enough...the Nerevarine beautifully performs such a role. Seeing as how the Nerevarine actually helps man by preventing a Dunmer Empire under Dagoth from forming...Which would have been decidedly bad for mankind. At least from an individual perspective.
I also believe the Nerevarine is the reincarnation of a failed Shezzarine. Lord Nerevar Indoril. He was supposed to release the Heart. However he failed when betrayed by his most trusted Tribunal. Lord Nerevar being a Shezzarine would also explain the guys power. He always seemed like a powerful dude. I also feel the Dunmer are appropriate for a Shezzarine because of their decidedly mannish viewpoint. I always took Shezzarine to mean they Champion the mannish viewpoint of Lorkhan as opposed to literally being champions of man.
Then there is this post by MK. The bolded part is important.
"The Indoril masks were official, and they each depicted his true visage. There was also a special Daedric helmet version in the Morrowind Art Book, but its look depicted his more terrible aspect as Hortator and Padomaic champion.
I may say lots of things, but Lord Indoril Nerevar the Hortator was my beloved from the get go during my tenure as MW's Art Director.
Edit: to Lorus, that's his bonewalker version, lost to the annals of most Tribune histories. Nerevar, while betrayed or not, was still dear to ALMSIVI after death."

Though the others do not seem to match up to the letters so that is kind of a problem. I have constructed this theory of diluted mortar and weak sticks. Tear it down monkeys.
-Just thought this was a fun thought to pursue even if i myself can already see some holes in it. Like the last N being reserved for the final Shezzarine which would likely culminate in Lorkhan possibly reincarnating himself. Seeing as how the Heart has been freed already. Though seeing as who freed it kind of lends the theory some more credence imo.
Thoughts?
