Hey everyone

So I've been thinking about Aka a lot lately, and I remember someone (can't remember who) on this board talking about how all the different aspects were different aspects of time. That thought has been buzzing around in my head lately, and I've been trying to figure out what aspects of time each of the different versions of Aka are. So far, I've only come up with three:

Auri-El: The Beginning of Time, given his followers wish to escape Mundus and go back to how everything was before Convention.

Akatosh: The Now of Time, given how he seems to intervene to help maintain the status quo and keep this Kalpa going.

Alduin: The End of Time, given how his role is to devour the Kalpa so the next one can begin.

Am I totally off my rocker with this train of thought, or am I on the right track? If the latter, what aspects of time do the other face(t)s of Aka embody?

Thank you

I'd be careful calling Akatosh the spirit of the Now. That's Y'ffre's title. Akatosh is the middle time, the present. As you said, he is the God of the Status Quo, of Everlasting Legitimacy. The spirit of the Everlasting Present, maybe? The time between beginning and end, time for short? http://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/1u73qz/the_time_gods_of_imperial_faith/, Akatosh isn't really a "timey" time-god; he's more a god of rulership than anything else.

As for the others:
