It is part of their divine contract on creation. The ultimate price for creating Nirn. Remember TES lore; Lorkan, an Aedra and the one most credited for creation, died if I remember correctly. His heart was even sought after and affected Tamriel's history greatly.
The moons are apperently his decaying body too. (that is why they are dead and the one planet looks bloody) I've never really gotten that part, but apperently the major Aedra from the creation are all plants. It is sort of like the Roman/Greek thing where all the planets where gods.
Well, seeing as Malacath is, to my knowlage, in possession of a weapon that can send any deadra straight back into oblivion, so I'll be siding with him, thank you very much.
