Also, isn't Akatosh the same as Auri-el, Auriel and Alkosh? Both yes and no, all of them are the time dragon, but each of them are different parts of the time dragon as molded by different mortal groups.

Isn't in the begining it was only Anu/All Maker and Padomay/Sithis in the begining place? Then Padomay started the interplay that resulted in creation of everything, but Mondus? Yes, that is correct. Originally there was only Anu/Anuiel and Padomay/Sithis. Then Padomay messed with Anu, creating Atherius, Oblivion, and all the spirits, excpet the first two, Akatosh and Lorkhan, who were created by Anuiel and Sithis specifically, and individually.

Okey so we get that you can be a god without being Aedra, but does that mean that certain gods like Arkey and Talos don't deserve to be up in Autherius with other divines who are in fact the Aedra? Some people here take Thalmor side of the argument and believe that Talos have no buisiness being a devine, Aedra or not, being Shor's replacement or not. Arkay is not like Talos, the story of Arkay being a mortal are myth. Arkay is an original founding spirit like the other Aedra.

As for if Talos is "deserving", the only thing that makes one deserving of being a god is if people want to worship you as such.

Maybe Shor/Lorkhan not an Aedra (our ancestor) but I don't think he's a Daedra either (not our ancestor). You would be correct. Lorkhan is neither a Daedra, or an Aedra, he is simply an et'ada, an original spirit.
