Talos is the most powerful god, and yes he is a god. He wasn't, however the Emperor. Only a third of him was. He's three different beings (but I won't get into that). Talos mantled Lorkhan and filled the space left by the Missing God when he was killed and ripped apart. He is, in a very real and literal way, holding Mundus together. Talos also knows CHIM. Talos is probably the most powerful being in the whole Aurbis. Anu Padomay Akatosh Sithis Numindium Sheogorath Jyggalag And many more are all stronger than Talos. It really is hard to say who's the strongest. Anu, Padomay, and Sithis are all fragments of the godhead's fractured mind. They have no real power within the dream as they exist as the dream and outside of it. Sheogorath is quite strong but in a way he is a little piece of a part of what makes Talos what he is, the "Sithis-shaped-hole" is Sheogorath's madness which is quite probably Lorkhan's mind. Talos is Lorkhan in most ways. Jygg is also powerful but we don't have much to go on other than stories of the other Daedra fearing his power. This doesn't make him even remotely close to the most powerful. Akatosh is but a shattered piece of a whole. He is Present and exists as time, but he can be broken. Numidium is the only one there that I could even begin to agree with being among the strongest. The giant robot of nope-stomped Nirn with all of his Noing power and irrevocably broke the dragon. Talos is Lorkhan and holds Mundus together. Even after Numidium noped everything Talos was still there.
