You do realize that there are more books than this one in the Elder Scrolls, that there are many diffrentiating tales of creation. Who are you to decide the solid truth? The Aldmeri, Redguards, and men did not accept that there gods have died. Where did this ridiculous notion come from? I'm pretty sure the worshippers of Talos still believe Talos is alive and well, and I am pretty sure after the Oblivion Crisis the people of Cyrodil are sure that Akatosh is alive and well. The Aldmeri believe they are descended from the Divines, each generation losing more and more divinity. The men believe they were created from nothing, and their pantheon is dirived from the Aldmeri Pantheon. Never once do they say that they think their Divines are all dead. What would be the point of worshipping them?

"The magical beings, then, having died, became the et'Ada. The et'Ada are the things perceived and revered by the mortals as gods, spirits, or geniuses of Aurbis. Thro ugh their deaths, these magical beings separated themselves in nature from the other magical beings of the Unnatural realms."-The Monomyth (Myth being the key word here). Even if what you say is true, it looks like they were reborn as the et'Ada spirits, so they are not truly dead to begin with.

And 1) Your Listening to Mankar Camoran, the guy who tried to destroy the barriers of Nirn and is trying to advertise the Daedra's power to bring more followers, 2) I am pretty sure he is referring to Lorkhan and the corruption of Trinimac, who was corrupted into Malacath, a so called "death" of the God Trinimac, and the birth of Malacath, not so much the Death of all the Divines. The Daedra remained unaffected by the creation of Nirn. I think you read into it a little bit too much.

A gods death= a mortals death? How does that make a lick of sense? When Akatosh came down and used Martin, does that mean Akatosh died when Martin turned to stone? Spooky.

Dude, honestly, it says here on the wikia, that the gods are incapacitated, it says in the game the gods are incapacitated. All you got is fan theories written in blogs. You really have no stand to make a claim that they are dead. You have no actual proof. Unless we see it in game, we are not going to accept this theory. I agree, my guess is just as good as yours at this point, but at least I am not claiming this as the absolute truth. It's just best left to speculation. But most people tend to swing towards the "incapacitated" crowd.
