Akatosh was created in the WGT when Auri-El, Shor and Alduin were fused.
Peryite will become Alduin when it's time to go, since he is the daedric prince of natural order and completion of tasks.
That part is wrong, Alduin was created by or created from Akatosh, Alduin even states that he is the "First-Born of Akatosh". Also Auri-El is just the elven name for Akatosh.
Youre partially right,
According to micheal kirkbride. Alduin is nordic for akatosh, part of the aka-tusk oversoul.
Akatosh and lorkhan are 2 sides of the same coin, akatosh being the dragon god of time is the only spirit capable of ending time, tamriel on nirn inside the mundus is focused around time. In ESO the souless one is tasked with defeating molag bal who plans on taking the ruby throne and must receive the amulet of kings to merge nirn and coldharbour even though this isnt possible but if molag bal succeeded his plan would unfold time, this is where meridia comes into play to help the vestige.
The dragon god of time eats itself and starts anew cycle of rebirth~ the ES kalpa. The oroboros.
The dragonborn in ES skyrim didnt stop alduin frome destroying nirn he only postponed the inevitable. Akatosh/lorkhan holds this mantle of responsibility.
However the dreamer can end it all.
Ah, the "Kirkbride is canon, Bethesda can go away" take. Not my take, but we are discussing a videogame so whatever floats your boat!
