Here's a follow-up question to my earlier stated Elder Scrolls theory, how many Divines are there, really? We obviously know Akatosh exists, seeing Martin take on the avatar of Akatosh, but his Nordic self, aka Alduin, exists as well. In Nordic/Skaal culture, Hermaeus Mora is recognised as a Divine, albeit a very different kind that we think of. Auri-El is quite possibly a Divine, seeing Auriel's Bow and Shield in Dawnguard. The All-Maker and Sithis might be one and the same, seeing they have somewhat similar descriptions, and the Hist is a kind-of Divine, if you ask the Argonian culture. But what about all the others I didn't mention by name? What of them? Please feel free to leave comments and theories below, as well as which race has the "right" view of the Divines.
