I know this Has been done before so don't lynch me, but who do you guys are the most powerful god like figures in the Series, including as mentioned Daedra and Aedra, but also Tribunal and anyother regional God, and also leaving out Sithis/Padomay and Anui-El/Anu as they are obviously the most powerful given the fact that they created the other gods even if it was indirectly.

Personally I think the most Powerful Diety is Lorkhan, as he was first born of Sithis as Auri-El is of Anui-El, and that he was created with the purpose to bring ruin to the world, something the Daedra aren't ment for. Also given that he isn't excatly Daedra nor is he Aedra. While Lorkhan is the only known Deity that comes to mind that actually *Died* which is not in the sense of how mortals die. He does however still hold great power, and in fact even after the Creation of the World which of all the God's he is most responsible and also poured most of his power into. Akatosh and the Et'Ada with the exception of Magnus and the Magna Ge, were to weak to leave Mundus, Akatosh/Auri-El begged Anu for help but was Rejected, however Anui-El gave Akatosh Auri-El's bow and Shield then belonging to Anui-El, as to defeat Lorkhan.

From my understanding it wasn't until this moment that Auri-el, Trinimac, etc were able to over power Lorkhan, by using a artifact from a Diety far Greater than that of the Divines themselves. Even after Trinimac ripped our Lorkhans heart, they were unable to actually destroy it.

Also given the Fact that the Heart alone is so powerful that has the power to give 3 individual's Godly Powers the Tribunal, who were able to hold a massive asteroid in place for centuries, able to defeat the Kamal, and Daedric Prince's alike. All of this Power came from Lorkhan's heart and was only a fraction of it's power, and only a part of Lorkhan himself. Lorkhan also known as Shor, even in death has the Power to create and After life, something that I've failed to find evidence of the Divines of doing, while they most likey provide one of sorts I just can't find a mention of one.

Also given the fact that Akatosh can only manifest himself through an Avatar, show's that he is not all the Powerful. Because to Bring an aspect of him into the world requires the soul of Martin and the Emperor's within the Amulet of Kings. While Lorkhan regularly throughout Nirns history remanifest himself in the form of Shezarrines, of which Tiber Septim is speculated to be, which could also mean that Talo's is just another Reinacarnation of Lorkhan.

Also the only beings in my mind that aren't the original 4, that could beat him are Magnus, and maybe the Daedric Princes, although I doubt that they could as they came after Him. But were not born with his purpose.
