I love how the loreoverlords try to explain something but only manage to complicate things more :D

Talos' worship must be preservated, otherwise Mundus will fall. Such is the plan of the Thalmor, who, in order to erase Man from existance and re-achieve the godhood that they had before all that Lorkhanic affair, must first weaken the power of the god-king of mankind. That's where the Concordat comes in. So yeah, he is a god, even the Thalmor know it.

However, I have no affection for the man he was as a mortal, conquering stuff he didn't had the right to, with the help of Megatron and a goddamn dragon. Sure his deeds were extraordinary and they brought 'peace' to Tamriel, but dang dude, talk about overkill.
