Like I said, it is all speculation, I may be wrong. But I refuse to believe the Aedra are dead. I can say in great confidence that no NPC had ever spoken a word about an Aedra being dead, excluding Lorkhan.

Anywho, The ones who fled, called the Et'Ada, are still Aedra, because they are related to those who did stay behind. Think of it this way. You have a cousin, born of your aunt, with a different name. Does that make you different? No. Same blood, same species.

You are right, Death is not the end. Ask Arkay, God of Death. I highly doubt he is "dead" though. Perhaps they don't treat life and death like we do. But I will state that the Divines are far from dead. Also, the burden of proof lies with you. You need to provide the lines from Mercer Fry.

My point isn't the Aedra are much more powerful than the Daedra and therefore can't manifest themselves. I was trying to explain that the Divines are not dead, are just confined to their own realms, and can only manifest within dreams. I have never seen a Aedra, so I don't know if they can shapeshift or not.
