Lorkhan (Doom-Drum) is the Missing God of Change and the Mutant of Space. He is the Soul of Sithis, and the opposite counterpart to the Dragon God of Time, Aka, the Soul of Anui-El. Their simultaneous birth were what allowed the Et'Ada to crystallize and erupt from ineffability into being, allowing them to recognize themselves as individual entities, and together give order and shape to the cacophony of the primordial chaos, creating existence: The Aurbis.
Lorkhan grew watching the Aurbis of the Et'Ada shape itself and take form as its creators destroyed each other and interfered with each other's creations, and as a padomaic being driven by change, he grew equally delighted and tired with the whole of existence, wanting all of it and none of it at the same time. And consumed by his desire for it, Lorkhan traveled to the Void beyond the Aurbis, and wandering through its deepest reaches, he turned back and saw the Wheel of all existence sideways as a Tower, as the shape of the True Name of God - "I" - That was the first word Lorkhan ever uttered, and one that came with Enlightenment: Existence was as a prison, a lightless cave of suffering in which transcendence could never be achieved, as the Et'Ada were infinite and ineffable, unable to ponder and reflect about their own insignificance within the bounds of the Dream of God.
Inspired by his grand epiphany, Lorkhan conceived of a plan to create The Mortal Plane, Mundus, a terrain and endeavor that would act as a pathway for the last Subgradient of all AE, and a testing ground for ascendance where the Original Spirits would be snatched away from their once unlimited selves and become vastly weakened, thus allowing them to undergo self-reflection and enlightenment, the secret syllable of royalty, CHIM. And with this plan in mind, he Convinced / Tricked / Forced many of the most powerful Spirits to mutilate and sunder themselves apart, giving themselves and their own limbs to create a structure which resembled the Aurbic Wheel that Lorkhan once witnessed.
However, Magnus, the God of Magic and the Architect who devised the correct diagrams to create Mundus, discovered Lorkhan's true intentions and decided to terminate the entire project. He warned the other Et'Ada of Lorkhan's trickery and then fled from the Mortal Plane, creating a tear in Oblivion alongside other Et'Ada who chose to go with him to the realm of Aetherius, forming the Sun and the Stars respectively.
Now aware of Lorkhan's intentions, the remaining Et'Ada held a convention beyond Aurbic Time, wherein the Space God would be judged before the other Gods ultimately left the final plane, Nirn, behind. Lorkhan was deemed a traitor, and murdered for his deeds. his Heart (His Divine Center) was torn from his chest by Trinimac, the greatest of the Et'Ada and the most powerful knight of the Dragon God Aka, who would fasten it to a bow and send it throughout the Seas, creating the Tower of Red Mountain where it landed, and proceed to cleave the Space God's body (His Dual-Nature) in two, creating the twin Moons of Masser and Secunda, the rotten remains of his body that remained suspended in the Heavens, marking the deliberate failure of his plan, and the beginning of Linear Time.
