Favorite Divine

[Witchery]

Since there were a bunch of favorite Daedra threads, I decided to make one signifying the holier side of TES mythology. What is your favorite? Is it . .

• Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time and Chief God
  
  Kynareth, the Goddess of Nature, Air, and the Heavens
  
  Mara, the Goddess of Love, Compassion and the Mother Goddess
  
  Julianos, God of Wisdom and Logic
  
  Stendarr, God of Mercy and Righteous Rule
  
  Talos, God of War and Governance
  
  Dibella, Goddess of Beauty and the Arts
  
  Arkay, God of Life and Death
  
  or
  
  Zenithar, God of Work and Commerce

My personal favorites are Mara and Stendarr.

[MARS]

Julianos, because wizards.

[Avron the S'wit]

Julianos, because wizards.

That sounds better.

Stendarr. He's the god of mercy and righteous rule, which is just amazing to me - very noble like - and I like to play warrior types; I think they go well together.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

How can I pick just one?...

My favorite is probably Kynareth, just a bit ahead of Talos, Mara, and Dibella.

[MARS]

Julianos, because wizards.

That sounds better.

Indeed it does.

[Red Guardian]

Akatosh, Talos, Arkay and Mara.

[Myyrn]

Kynareth or Akatosh.

[Avron the S'wit]

Hmmm, why do you guys like the Divines that you do? Just telling us who leaves my curiosity unsatisfied!

[Myyrn]

Kynareth -- the goddes of air. Akatosh is dragon. I like dragons and air.

[HatofMadness]

Mara!

^_^

[Swampy]

Zenitha because money

[Unionhack]

Kynareth - Thanks for the shouts!
Talos - I fought for you, bro.

[Causa Vyenn]

Kynareth, because of the Spriggans and rule over the elements/nature. I'd pick Lorkhan if he was in here though...

[Red Guardian]

I think nobody worships Lorkhan. And he isn't even in the nine (oh sorry, eight) Divines pantheon.

[Causa Vyenn]

Well he did help create Nirn just as much as the eight. But yeah, he's really not part of them. Also, I'm pretty sure Lorkhan is Shor, Shezarr, Sep, etc. so if they're still worshiped, Lorkhan probably is too.

[Unionhack]

I think that Lorkhan is technically a Daedra. According to Mankar Camoran, anyway.

[Kerr]

Mara!

^_^

Darn tootin'.

I know some people don't but I believed Camoran when he said Lorkhan was a Daedra. His heart sure was powerful anyway.

[Pilaf The Defiler]

"Let me show you the POWER of TALOS STORMCROWN, born of the North, where my breath is long winter!"

[Chaos the N'wah]

Stendarr, God of Merciful forbearance
I feel he best represents the code that Aedric worshipers live by...and I like the Vigilant...

[MARS]

UH-OH, CONTROVERSIAL!

[Eltee]

I like Kynareth. She's the most Padomaic of the Nine, and the least connected to the formal practice of chapel worship. She is the wild incarnate, beautiful and strong, unfathomable and wrathful and cruel. Godess of the Skies, mistress of the Storm.

[Pilaf The Defiler]

Lorkhan is neither Daedra nor Aedra, but he's much closer to Aedra.

The distinction is mostly ideological. Aedra participated in Creation. Daedra did not. There are some beings who are in a fuzzy area between those two black and white ideals. Lorkhan was the trickster who organized the whole scheme, but he didn't actually intend to sacrifice his life force until Auriel forced him to. That's the Aldmeri view, anyway. Other beings like Magnus pulled out at the last moment and became Star Orphans, another type of god altogether.

[OblivionDuruza]

It comes down to Julianos and Akatosh to me. I voted Akatosh, but I'd normally have voted Julianos and I'm thinking I'd like to change my vote

[Daroska]

Kynareth, because spriggans.

[Pilaf The Defiler]

I think it's implied all the animals are technically hers..and all the plants. Her domain is huge, actually. And she's the hero Goddess who helped both the Nords and Imperials throw off the yoke of slavery. Also, as the mother of Morihaus, that makes her the grandmother of Minotaurs, who are the issue of Morihaus and Alessia.
