Sajuukhar, could you provide a specific quote that says the gods are dead, and from an actually reliable source, not from a crazy heretic who tried thelp Mehrunes Dagon take over Nirn? There are many diffrentiating sources from various cultures, some drastically so. Every other race's creation myth as stated in the Monomyth?

Alessia created the Eight Divine Pantheon from the Divines who contributed most to the creation of Nirn. Lorkhan gave his life, while the others powers were simply drained, confining them to their own realms, what we see as planets. So, Lorkhan is a truer Divine than any of the others, accdi to Alessia's Pantheon logic. So, it can be said he is a Divine. Except Alessia did not make Lorkhan a divine, and the Aldmeri word for Aedra means "our ancestors", the spirits who gave themselves to the creation of Mundus.

Lorkhan gave nothing of himself, and is not bound to Mundus like the others, thus he is not an Aedra, and not divine, and lesser then any other Aedra/divine in that regard.

And Akatosh is depicted to have two heads because HE IS THE DRAGON GOD OF TIME. THEY GAVE HIM A HUMAN FACE, BUT SINCE HE IS SOMETIMES DEPICTED AS A DRAGON, HE HAS A DRAGON FACE. You sir, have overread this detail. No, you have just blatantly ignored the developer quotes and symbolism and thus missed the detail entirely.


 * Kikbride saying Akatosh is Lorkhan.
 * Akatosh being time.
 * Lorkhan being space.
 * Space and time being spacetime.
 * the stained glass windows and statues in Oblivion.
 * Tiber Septim, the avatar of Lorkhan and Akatosh, being called the two-headed king.
 * The other Shezzarines, Pelinal and Ysmir Wulfharth, also being avatars of both Akatosh and Lorkhan.
 * The statue of Talos in Skyrim depicting him trusting a sword into a snake's mouth.
 * The shrine of Akatosh in Skyrim depicting him thrusting a sword into his own mouth, while he has a snake's body.
