Alduin is the World-Eater, yes? It is known, for he ate the foregoing Kalpas. He always was and will always be. Him taking charge of the Wandering Ehlnofey that came to be the Atmorans was an act of arrogance! http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1477008-nords-and-shouting/page-2#entry23097899 breathing the Wandering Ehlnofey into the form of the early Nords at the Throat of the World had nothing to do with the will of the Overlord* of the Dragons. Kyne giving the Nords the tools they needed to overthrow Alduin had absolutely nothing to do with him. Well, except it didn’t help them. They were losing. Alduin was too much. Only an Elder Scroll could cast him, aspect of the Time God, adrift.

It is not possible that we meet Alduin the Rebel. It is known. It is not possible that he was in the world because it was ordained that he would end it, when he first met the Wandering Ehlnofey. It is so, because the Greybeards say it is so. Because Legend say it is so. It is known.

It is not possible that Paarthurnax the Ambitious could lie. It is not so that he would know that Alduin could not be faced by mere mortals. It is not that he knew that the Nords, bound by mortal perspective, could not foresee the effect of simply casting the Rebel adrift. It is not so that he, guiding the Greybeards, could await the Last Dragonborn and guide him to destroy the Rebel, so that he might take the True Role of the leader of the Dragons. Because it is not like Alduin, in leading the Nords back to Tamriel, in engaging them in the wars with the Falmer, is ushering in unstoppable changes across the Arena.

Of course it is nonsense that Alduin might have decided it was enough when he was tasked to end the Kalpa. Of course. Of course he couldn’t have chosen when to appear. He is only an aspect of the Time God. Because he’d come back right away, right? Back to beat the Nords into submission again, of course. Because mortal loyalties mean oh so much to the World-Eater. It is not like unleashing the Nords upon the Falmer brought about the end of the elven hegemony in Tamriel, even without him to lead that. And it is not like the World-Eater, seeing the world from his Elder Scrolls infused perspective, could know that. And, of course, it is coincidence that he appears when the Cyrodiils and the Nords, the people of Shezarr and Shor, might have a falling out. Have a disunited front against the Aldmeri Dominion. Against the Thalmor. Total coincidence. Of course. Because we see him eating the world. Because he is naturally not acting more like a conqueror, a new lord to dictate the fate of Skyrim. Of course. Why would he return to doing that, simply because he did that the last time he was in the mortal world?

It is not like Arngeir inadvertently let it slip that the Last Dragonborn might have quickened the end of the world by “saving” it from Alduin. Of course the Greybeards have no tie to ending the world. They are only the disciples of Paarthurnax, betrayer of Alduin. Betrayer of the World-Eater that eats no world. Of course. And it is not like Ambition-[to become]-Overlord*-[through]-Cruelty would have a motive to be false with the Nords. It is not like Alduin the World-Eater strayed from his role as Overlord, as Firstborn, when he united the Dragons with the Lorkhanic humans we know as the Nords.

Of course not. This is all just nonsense.
