Favourite Dunmer Saint (besides Veloth, Nerevar and ALMSIVI)

Post by MoncarBelvani »

Pretty straight forward really, who is your favourite minor Dunmer saint? My personal choice would be Saint Roris, my character hates Argonians because of what their ancestors did to Roris!

(This poll has been edited, I have removed Veloth, Nerevar and ALMSIVI as it was getting too boring with them in there)

The one who is me, you know, because I am so full of myself. I'm great, so Nerevar is great.

Yeah Jiub is pretty awesome! :D, when I tried (and ultimately failed) to roleplay in Skyrim, Jiub was the saint my character prayed to before fighting the dragon at Western Watchtower. I like to think Jiub's cliff racer fighting skills briefly passed on to me haha.

Hm, those Argonians may have had a point. In other words, well yeah, Nerevar, simply because he happens to be the one I know best :wink: . Jiub, however, ought to be de-canonized for his mortal sins against biodiversity; he even murdered unfledged hatchlings in their nests, for crying out loud!

Here, here.

It doesn't matter what race or sex he is, Nerevar is always the best.

Juib is pretty cool too. I would say Almalexia is good but after I died she slept with Vivec (Seriously, Vivec of all people) and went crazy before trying to kill me.

Them all? I mean, how is that not an option? :P

If I had to chose though, I'd probably go with the conventional Veloth or Nerevar, although for the sake of this poll, I think I'll exclude the Greater Saints and give a shout out to both St. Olms the Just and St. Delyn the Wise. Both Indoril, an Ordinator and a 'Lawyer,' and both with Cantons in Vivec named in their honour. Two incredibly cool little-known Dunmeri figures. I voted Olms, for the record. Founder of the Ordinators, and for a long time featured as my avatar 8).

Honestly, I think this poll would be a lot more interesting if it excluded Veloth, Nerevar, Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil and focused only on the lesser Saints.

Yes, I did think of doing that. I was worried no-one would bother voting if Nerevar wasn't in there.

EDIT: Ah [&@%!] it, I will change the poll after all.

Under this changed condition, I'd like to retract my vote and give it to St. Seryn the Merciful, because with the therapy method she used reaching an honoured old age has to count for something, and because, well, where would we be without bakers, brewers and distillers?

Good choice :). Sorry for the change of topic, I agree with OblivionDuruza that Nerevar gets too much attention on these forums, so I thought it'd be nice for the lesser saints to get some praise! I should have kept Veloth in tbh haha, but I cba to change the poll again :P.

Anyway Jiub.

After doing Jiub's quest in Dawnguard and reading his book, it's him by a mile.

Probably just because he's Jiub. I'd have picked Olms or Delyn otherwise.

I voted Saint Olms, obviously. :)

Jiub should be the tenth Divine for eradicating the Cliff Racers.

He's an Elf though :o. Raising him to the status of one of the Imperial Divines would not exactly be in the spirit of the Alessian Doctrines.
