Khajiit Gods

[Woodhouse]

It seems that the khajiit gods (Lorkhaj and Azurah are who I have in mind) automatically redirect to our Lorkhan and Azura pages. To me, this doesn't seem to be too controversial of a decision. However, I was wondering if there was any lore that I somehow missed from the first five games, or lore from the ESO that connects the Khajiit gods to their redirects?

Something like the "Alduin is Real" book is what I had in mind.

Here's the url for anyone interested- http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Alduin_is_Real

I'd say the parallels between the Khajiit gods and their equivalents in Human and Aldmeri pantheons is much more direct and non-controversial than the Alduin thing. Every single one of them is a slightly different spelling of one of the Imperial or Elven gods, with a nearly identical personality and description. I think the individual pages for Azura and Lorkhan should have subsections differentiating the Khajiiti versions, which do differ slightly, but I wouldn't say the Khajiiti versions warrant separate pages. They're not nearly as distinct as Alduin is from Akatosh.

When and if we have more to say about the Khajiiti gods, I imagine they might be split from the pages of associated deities.

As we saw with Alduin and Akatosh, the Imperial practice of equating two deities can prove problematic. It's even noted in Varieties of Faith, for example, that "In Elsweyr, Azurah is nearly a wholly separate entity[...]." Treating them as one and the same could prove entirely fallacious, when we get more info.

The UESP is undoubtedly perpetuating many ideas about the lore which will prove to be misconceptions (or will become misconceptions, depending on how you look at it). But I think I'll be able to stand by most if not all of our associations as entirely appropriate based on the information we have available. Most misdiagnoses do not constitute medical malpractice. Whether you're talking about doctors or wiki editors, all we can do is make educated inferences and carry on until when and if our treatment proves untenable.

On a related note, I suggested splitting the Jephre and Y'ffre pages a while back because ESO lore has established that they're understood as distinct beings.

^But not 100% distinct, at least culturally. Some Bretons in ESO use "Y'ffre", which is more associated with Bosmer, but I'm not sure about the reverse.
