I never said Talos is an Aedra, I meant he is called a divine and as a result is classified as an equal to gods that are responsible for the creation of the world and all of its inhabitants, including Tiber Septim.

Your words:

"He is arrogantly grouped in the same category as the AEDRA who contributed to Nirn's creation"

-173.189.226.24

He is categorized with the Divines but not the Aedra. What your saying is that just because Talos wasn't an Aedra he doesn't deserve to be a Divine, you do realize the Divines is just a grouping of gods. It is determined by the mortals who is in the group not the Aedra, if the empire wants to worship Talos then so be it.

If that was true he would have abolished slavery in Morrowind, no, actions speak louder than words...

So what if he made a continent spanning empire, he never tried to change anything for the better, he just let terrible practices keep on going.

- He spoke to her of his vision of a united Tamriel, each race separate and distinct but with shared ideals and goals, all contributing to the common weal."

Each race was aloud to keep their own traditions including "terrible practices".

Regarding Morrowind, Vivec made a treaty with Tiber Septim which aloud them almost full autonomy within the empire, which included the tolerance of slavery.

the fact that he forcefully aborted a child against the mother's consent simply because he didn't want the child to compete with his legitimate children for the throne is deplorable and speaks for itself.

Like I said before he knew that the end justified the means no matter how bad the means were, he obviously didn't want to do it (nobody would) but he felt he had to. This happens alot during Tibers rule, he has done worse.
