Shortly after the idea of Kalpas (essentially, a span of time which both ends and begins in the creation of the world and the destruction of the last one) was introduced into Elder Scrolls Lore, I posited that the closer an event is to the beginning/end, the closer it is to divinity and magical events. Charted with time on the X axis and divinity on the Y, each kalpa becomes a parabola, and the overall flow of time a sine wave.
Though this didn’t really end up bearing out in the later games, it’s still an interesting theory.
