Alright, a few things. It seems you have successfully dragged me back into this conversation.

1) I agree that the Aedra lost a lot of their power. Do I think that the Daedra and Aedra were equal in strength before then? Nope. When people say the Daedra were more powerful, they are mostly talking about the princes. I don't think the Imps and Dremora could match up to even the weakest Aedra. There are sixteen Daedric Princes, not counting Sheogorath, but Jyygalag. Your telling me that only sixteen Daedra could stand up to the might of thousands of Aedra before many of them lost their power? Normal Daedra can be bested by normal mortals. And when Daedra sympathetics argue about Aedra, they are probably thinking of the Eight Divines, not the thousands of Et'Ada that escaped to Aethirus and punched holes into the sky, making stars, and Magnus, who IS Magic, who made the sun in his escape and still retains all of his power, and is theoretically unlimited. Magnus would mop the floor with everything if he wanted to. The ones who stayed behind either became mortal, the weaker Aedra and are considered ancestors of the Aldmer, and then there is the Divines, who, as I explained before, were incapacitated, not dead. That is quite a foolish notion. Much of their power still exists, but they are confined to their own realms, I.E. The Planets, and are only able to manifest themselves as visions as with St. Allesia.

2) SajjuKar doesn't know everything. This is all very much speculation. His words don't set it in stone. He or She is with me and everyone else's standpoint on what we know. You don't have to listen to me on it, as Sajjukar still is a pretty good lore enthusiast, but I just would be cautious.

3) On why the Divines are stuck in planets, as I explained before, they are to weak to manifest themselves physically to what they want, so technically, the planets are not the Divines themselves, but the realms they are confined in. Being mere mortals, we only see what our limited mindset allows us to see. If you look real close at the planets you will see shimmering. Also I am not sure what the point you were trying to make was. True, the Daedra manifest themselves into what they want. Perhaps because they are beings of change. Plus, there is a phenomonal difference between the Aedra and Daedra, should you choose to follow the Anu-Padomay Blood Theory. Huge difference. Not just what the Elves call them.

4) If your going to make a bold claim such as this, I want to hear the exact quote where it says the Skeleton Key can literally open up anything. Proof, proof, proof.
