User blog comment:Legate Alexandros/Talos, my views on why Thalmor don't want him as a divine/@comment-5558140-20131213053744/@comment-8248675-20131215052217

Well, I still trying to figure out those blog things. The way I gathered, they can serve as informative thing, as well as stating your own opinon on certain parts of lore. Sorry, I just have been hearing people making blogs on certain topics, so I decided to try making some myself. If you hadn't seen my blog on Shor/Lorkhan, be sure to check that out. I think I have gone in more details there then in here. The one about Shor was written when my wife was just getting ready to go away. This one was written the day when I was leaving Michigan. However, you probably don't need to hear of when I wrote what.

In anyways, of course that is one of the reasons and also most obious. I believe you hear about it too in Skyrim. When I believe you ask Hemsker about it, he would tell you that elves never cared so much for human becoming a Divine. But I can be wrong on who says that. However, the true reasons lie deeper. I am sure, it is connected to the master plan of destroying Mondus like Dovasebrom pointed out. Regardless of weather "Sons of Talos" should be interpreted as "Sons of Shor" or simply the Septim Dynasty. You also have to take in consideration, how much their pride was hurt when Talos conquered Summer Set Isles as Tiber Septim. Since High Elves can live for that long, they probably bided their time, holding the grudge, passing it down trough generations if they had to. When the time came, they in almost one single move, had cut ties with Empire, and set the plan to remove the hated Talos from pantheon into action.

So, there are more then one reasons really. Thalmor have three reasons to want Talos out of Pantheon. One, they don't like human to be a Divine, two they hate him for humbling the Altmer, three they know that he is like Shor now, the god trickster and they believe that they need him gone, so that they can destroy Mondus.
