And if the events of his involvment with the Numidium was parallel to Lorkhan, shouldn't Talos have had his heart ripped out? Because "The Divines" is just a religious system created by Alessia, the thing that makes one a divine is if Alessia put them in the pantheon/they were added in later. There is nothing that makes on a "divine" beyond people saying something is, which they do for Talos, and don't for Lorkhan.

I think you are confusing divines for Aedra, which neither Lorkhan or Talos are, as Aedra are the spiris who gave themselves to the creation of Mundus, and Lorkhan and Talos did neither.

And no..... his heart shouldnt have been ripped out. Just as Sheogorath was created from Lorkhan having his heart ripped out, and Sheogorath's first champion, Arden-Sul, mantled Sheograth by having his heart ripped out/destoryed, but the Champion of Cyrodiil mantled Sheogorath via his cane, Tiber Septim mantled Lorkhan via the creation event, rather then the specific heart being rippedo ut part.
