How does Alduina and Akatosh being depicted as seperate mean that they are the corresponding deities? That makes no sense. The Nords worship Akatosh much like the Cyrodilic pantheon does, and treat Alduin as the god of destruction, far from the benevolent behavior of Akatosh. Akatosh uses Martin's body to save Tamriel in Oblivion but comes back a few hundred years later to conquer it for dragons? Onto Dibella.

...Yes, I am aware that Dibella's name is Dibella. I am just saying that Dibella was unique to Nordic tradition before being implemented into the Divines.

Onto Zenithar. Where is Zenithar than if he is bound to the mortal realm? In that guy from Morrowind? What proof do you have of his divinity? Where in the game does it say Zenithar is bound to Nirn? In game source please. We can't forget the evidence. Proove Zenithar has to stay on Nirn. Please.

Yes, I am referring to the incongruencies of interpretations of the deities. Then you ask me to look at Alduin and Akatosh. By God man, have you been paying attention at all? One of my points was that Alduin and Akatosh are not the same thing! No matter how much Cyrodilic scholars may compare the two, the Nords do not. It is called Misinterpretation. Nords worship Akatosh as Akatosh, and give Alduin their begrudging respect as their god of destruction. Alduin isn't even a god. He is a power hungry dragon that uses propaganda and the interpretation of Akatosh as a dragon to spur his bretheren into supporting his claim for Tamriel.

Shezzar and Shor remain largely the same. Both have a hand in making mankind, and both have Lorkhany aspects. Another one of my points you have ignored is that Tsun couldn't be Zenithar based on this evidence because they have practically nothing in common, as neither do Alduin and Akatosh, besides the fact Akatosh is depicted as a dragon. Itsofacto, they are not related, thus making the comparisons void.

Oh, on with this mortal belief stuff. I think many people attribute too much power to simply what Humans think of Aedra. It has Percy Jackson written all over it. And the assumption that the Daedra have nothing to do with mortals is an outright falsehood. Daedra have had many dealings with mortals, Azura turning the Chimer into Dunmer for one, essentially tying that peoples existence to the Daedra. I don't see any of their beliefs changing anything. If your logic is to be believed, this disproves your theory that mortal belief can change the god.
