And you know, the Divines are not bound to Nirn, hence why they are not in Nirn. Some of their power is, such as the Amulet of Kings or those stones that help out your skills. You are right, that was rather poor wording on my part. What I had meant to say is that they are bound to Mundus, the mortal plane.

They serve as the 8 spoke jutting out from Nirn to hold up the luminal barrier, the great ward between Mundus and Oblivion.

Lorkhan is the only one who is actually bound to Nirn. Lorkhan is not bound to Nirn, his heart was cast to it, but it does not have to stay there. Since he gave none of himself to Mundus, he is not bound to it in any form.

Hence why he is the most active god, sending avatar after avatar to Nirn in the forms of Pelinal Whitestrake, Harrald Hairy Breeks, Ysmir, Hans the Fox, Tiber Septim, Ysmir Wulfharth, Zurin Arctus, and Talos. Plus, the notion that all creation stories are true is a foolish one, because there are some that are drastically different from others, such as the All-Maker. So he exists, but also the other gods exist. I thought he was suposed to be monotheistic. This right here proves that your statement right there is wrong. Seriously, not everything can be right. Except the Skall's belief in the all maker is an exact parallel with all other religions.

The All Maker is Anu who is Anuiel, who is Akatosh. The All Maker fights against the corrupting force, known as The Adversary, who is Padomay, who is Sithis, who is Lorkhan.

The Adversary takes form as the trickster, known as The Greedy Man. The Aldmeri world-view as described in The Monomyth labels Lorkhan as a trickster, and Lorkhan is the son of Sithis/Padomay, the primal force of change. The Skall's religion is nothing more then then the Merish religion using different names. Which does make them an oddity as the ther races of men, especially the Nords, view Lorkhan as a good deity, but then again, the Redguards share a similar worldview to the Skall and Altmer, so such a hatred of Lorkhan isn't unprecedented.
