Ahhhhh. My favorite subject.
Teh Dragon Break!!!
In Daggerfall, there were six alternate endings that the player was free too choose from.
Now, this was TES2, so how could they possibly incorporate all six endings into TES3: Morrowind?
WITH A DRAGON BREAK!
Akatosh= The Dragon God of time. 'Break' time, and you 'break' the Dragon. A Dragon Break.
The book the 'Warp in the West' appearing first in Morrowind, and OB and Skyrim, recounts how stuff just all happened simultaneously. That is, all six endings happened side by side. The event of the Totem being used broke the dragon, and Akatosh has to mend time.
What happens is that stuff gets rearranged and Time, is never quite the same again.
Also: Lorkhan is Akatosh. WHAAAA?! Aedra and Daedra are quite literally their spheres. Akatosh is Time Itself.
Lorkhan is Space itself.
Space and Time are inexorably connected. Yet there is a dichotomy.
Short Version: Retconning to butcher your own lore to make a game that's interesting.

Yes. In fact, isn't your character in the RP like this?
Precisely!
