What If Alduin Was Right? – The End of Tamriel

Everything beautiful must come to an end. It’s something we all experience in our own lives—nothing can stand against the destructive force of time. Because of that, everything in our lives is temporary. And so are we. You can even see this truth in the things we create. The Elder Scrolls universe, after all, is just another way of interpreting the human experience—and it too must end one day.
But every ending also marks a new beginning. A universe that collapses into chaos must end, so it can shift into a new state of order. In the Elder Scrolls universe, this is called a “Kalpa.” The word describes the cycle of time from the creation of Mundus—the mortal realm—to its destruction. And yes, even the Kalpa we’ve played through as the Hero of Kvatch, the Last Dragonborn, and the Nerevarine will eventually come to an end. That’s inevitable.
We came closest to this moment in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In the year 4E 201, Alduin—the ancient Nordic god, the apocalyptic dragon known as the “World-Eater”—appeared in Helgen to finish the task he had once left incomplete.
