Which Daedra/Aedra Best Represents You?

Post by House of the Wolf »

If the gods in TES actually existed, whom of them would you most likely worship? The catch: they have to be living as of TESV, and you can only pick up to two.

For the two that would represent my beliefs pretty well, I'd have to say Talos and Kyne.

Talos is the epitome of the strength of men. He started out as a mortal, coming from relative obscurity, and led Tamriel into nearly 400 years of relative peace and stability. He then ascended into divinity and now is the Patron God of men, particularly northern men.
Kyne is the Mother of Men. She gave men the strength to resist and overthrow the dragons.



EDIT: I'd make a poll, but there are far too many Aedra/Daedra for that, so just feel free to name them.

It's to bad you only included 1/3rd of all the Gods in this, I'd personally choose Vivec out of all the Gods in Elder Scrolls Lore. That is for many reasons, but seeming this is not the topic...

I'd go for Mara, the Goddess of Love. She is the mother of the most powerful emotion in existence, and her followers are taught to show intolerance only to those who show intolerance for religion and race. This is a lot like my beliefs.
I don't agree with everything about her, but the same goes for every God, even Vivec...

I can't really choose a Daedra, they are all a bit mad. Not to say they can't be cool, but I'd hardly say any of them 'represent me'.

I see your point. You can choose any god, then. Still only two. In this case, I'd change from Kyne to Shor, because he created Mundus and led Man to many victories.

The Hoon Ding guides us. All others can make way.

Probably Talos or Vivec though. Unless Lorkhan himself is an option.

Hmmm. Interesting topic. If it were up to me I would probably say Julianos (The god of logic and wisdom) best represents me. I always take a logical approach at things. Not to boast, but i'm also quite intelligent :mrgreen: .

Talos, because I always try to strive to be better, or to improve myself in some ways.
Mara, because I am tolerant of those different them me, and I don't really hate anything.

They're only the same in the manner of Akatosh and Alduin.

Arkay, Julianos, or Hermaeus Mora. I don't know much about Hermaeus though, except that he has a forbidden library of infinite knowledge.

i would have to say Mara, Hermaeus Mora, and Shor. I prefer Mara the mos tho because of the open-mindedness, tolerance and love that is shown for living being. I wish i was as as benevolent as one of Mara's disciples but it's easier said than done. I tried being tolerant and kind to EVERYBODY but i was exhausted after an hour :(

Julianos, god of logic and WIZARDS. Also, Zenithar. Add those two and throw Mephala in as well and you've got yourself a Nightblade.

Azura. Overall i'm a good person, despite my flaws. I really care about those close to me. Oh and twilight is my favourite time of day.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

Mara, I think. She represents a lot of my ideals, and I love that her followers support love and compassion but know when things are morally wrong.

However, Meridia or Stendarr would be close seconds. Meridia because of her intolerance for what she perceives as impure, and Stendarr because of . . well, I believe mercy and might can be used in harmony.

If I had the choice, I'd soon find myself being one of the wandering ghasts in Hermaeus Mora's realm. :roll:

How about ancestor and saint worship?

My first choice would be Vivec. My Dunmer worshipped him fanatically so I sort of have to say him haha.

My second choice would be Julianos, mainly because I love books and knowledge.

My two picks:
Azura and Hircine.

Azura actually cares about her followers and seems to truly love them. She is my first choice for this reason.

Hircine because i like his policy of "Waste nothing, use it all." He doesnt do things without purpose and i like that about him.

Sanguine and Sheogorath. Because who doesn't like crazy partys, getting high, having lots of women(Or men in some cases), and being crazy?
