Who to support, who to support?

I side with the Daedra. Any being which can make rain out of flaming dogs isn't so very bad.

Let us consider some stuff.......

Aedra were "weakened" by the creation of Mundus, but were still strong enough to rip Lorkhan apart. Although Lorkhan's remains ..errr.....remain, his power must have been used to complete Mundus, and anchor it down (see Towers theory). So even though Aedra got some power back, they aren't totally powerful.

The reason that Martin won against Dagon was because Dagon waged a war against Mundus, and fought in Mundus. We can say that the strength of a et'Ada remains in wherever the physical "realm" is. Hence, Dagon was beaten because he wasn't at home.

The Skeleton Key is actually a correct argument but isn't properly defended. The Power of the Aedra stop Oblivion from claiming Mundus, but the Skeleton Key opened a portal through Evergloam into Mundus, namely the Twilight Sepulcher's thing (I forgot the name). Hence, a Daedra's part-of-being blew a hole through the Aedric defenses.

Akatosh is extremely strong, no argument. But Daedra are just as strong. Dagon once threw an entire island off Mundus into Oblivion, with a fricking finger. Another hole blown in the Mundus/Oblivion containment protection.

Not to mention the constant popping up of Daedra and Daedric artifacts in the realm. More holes in the defense.

In the creation theory, the et'Ada were roughly equal in power. When the Divines lost their power, Magnus fled. His leaving-from Mundus was so powerful it ripped a dimensional hole in the sky, AKA the sun. SImilar stuff were done by the rest of them. All the barriers the Divines create, someone blows apart.

Due to all this, we see that the Divines ARE powerful, but only in Home Territory. Otherwise. They are a lot of Daedric roadkill.
