God = Stendarr, Arkay, Mara, Dibella; the Nine as a plenum; Meridia.

Satan = Boethiah, Clavicus Vile, Hircine, Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Mephala, Molag Bal, Peryite, Sanguine, Vaermina.

I left out those that were not necessarily either good or bad and would require too many distinctions to be listed on one side.

When speaking about the aspect of creation, with god as the creator, there is no real figure in earthly religions that you could oppose to him, since I know of no god that created a realm that doesn't feature the logic of creation through destruction/recreation.

It would have to be a contest of existence vs unexistence. We'd basically be speaking about concepts of death and rebirth and the absence of those and thus entering the realms of indian religions. There we'd oppose the samsara (being in existence; =god) and nirvana (being uncreated; =satan). As you can see, giving those two states a name of god and satan doesn't really make all too much sense any longer, since the only thing they share is that they are opposite of each other, without any further values being part of the equation.

In the Elder Scrolls universe (from my understanding) that would be Aurbis (meaning the struggle of Anu and Padomay) as god and the Void as satan.

And last but not least. If you want to step outside of your own believes of having a necessity for something called god and satan and would accept that there after other beliefs, views and religions in this world and people, who are not recognizing something that you call "god and satan" as being real or being what you designate it to be, then the different beliefs that exist and their gods and (by abstraction through creating opposite values of those gods) possibly satans of the inhabitants of Aurbis would be listed or can be deduced from information found under the Pantheons of Tamriel.

If I am majorly wrong on something objective and need to learn about the correct meaning of it, then please ignore my false information. I do not claim to be all knowing. Since I don't have an account, but also don't plan to create one, while still wanting to be distinguishable, call me Necris. I failed to understand how Hircine is evil, he's a hunter, hunters arn't evil
