Arguing whether Akatosh is Lorkhan is Talos is Sithis is pointless. Remember the aim of the thread.

But I'll join in the fray anyways.

How can Lorkhan be Sithis?

I'm genuinely questioning this, because in the beginning of the universe, Anu and Padomay were there, and Lorkhan was born from Sithis to destroy the unchanging concepts of the Aubris. So the depiction of Lorkhan as Sithis would be reasonable, but SITHIS as Lorkhan? It's like your father named after you, instead of the other way round.

All the gods died, but their existence or possession of power hasn't left them yet.

Wait, hold up one second,

If Akatosh = Lorkhan,

Lorkhan = Talos, and

Lorkhan = Sithis,

Akatosh = Aedra

THen SIthis is Aerdic, or Anuic.

Hence, some of the theories are flawed, or wrong, or the aforementioned characters aren' the exact manifestations of each other.

Back to point.

The Gods held a meeting in one of the Towers and began the discussion of the fate of the world in static time. To complete the world, they would have to sacrifice themselves, and this is why Lorkhan was considered a trickster, for making the Aedra accept this, why Magnus left, Why the Daedra are still free and powerful, while the gods are constrained by the bonds of mortality.

Killing an immortal is impossible, atleast in the long run. When Lorkhan was killed, he still survived through his heart, through his creation, Nirn, and through humanity. Even after the Heart was destroyed his power passed to the ash stones, or whatever they were called.

Hence a god cannot be destroyed, no more than energy turned to nothingness, or obliterated

{I doubt it was totally ''D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-E-D.. ''since Lorkhan is neither Aedra or Daedra, he may have had some Daedric (but not all) characteristics. So Lorkhan was torn asunder, his body and consiousness in the void, his heart in Nirn. When Nerevarine "destroyed" the heart, he may have actually released the mortal constraints on the Heart, and banished it to the void, which makes it ripe for a second coming. A bit like taking a daedra's heart to stop its reformation.}

Well, all my points are a bit jumbled now, I had a thought to prove that the gods are dead, but exist, but now I'm mired in twisty thoughts. Anyways, consider all this.
