Alduin

==Summary==
Alduin (Meaning Destroyer-Devour-Master in Dovahzul) is the oldest and mightiest of the Dragons, and the Nordic Aspect of the Dragon God of Time, Aka. He is known as the World-Eater, for his role in devouring the old world so that the new world can be born. However, Alduin doesn't literally eat the world, but rather consumes Time itself, destroying the current iteration of reality and bringing about the beginning of the next in process which is known as the Kalpic Cycle. In Nordic legend and folktale, Alduin is seen as both the wellspring of the world and the harbinger of the apocalypse and is believed to be the greatest enemy of Shor, having battled with him at the beginning of time and bringing his death.
Though Alduin followed his set duty as the World-Eater for innumerable Kalpas without complaint, he would eventually grow bored of his role and forsake it entirely. Filled with immense pride and arrogance, he sought to rule over the world rather than destroy it. He established himself as the God-King of all Dragons, and ruled over mortals in Atmora and later Skyrim during the Merethic Era, with the Priests of the Dragon Cult acting as the intermediary between dragons and men.
Eventually, Alduin's chief lieutenant Paarthurnax became disgusted with his brother's tyranny and led many mortals alongside a few dragons in rebellion against his rule. Together with the Goddess Kyne, he taught humans the Way of the Voice, allowing them to wield the power of the Thu'um in battle. This legendary conflict became known as the Dragon War, and would eventually end when three Nord heroes, Felldir the Old, Hakon One-Eye and Gormlaith Golden, subdued Alduin with the Dragonrend Shout and used an Elder Scroll to cast him adrift in the depths of time. However, their victory wasn't permanent, and Alduin returned millennia later during the Fourth Era alongside with the emergence of the Last Dragonborn, a prophecized hero who mastered the Way of the Voice and slew him once and for all.
