User blog comment:Roxashasnoheart/Who would win? Alduin or Mehrunes Dagon?/@comment-71.94.96.170-20130529045454

If you guys actually knew the lore you would know that aedra and deadra were once one group that came from the chaos as sithis emerged and formed the universe with his older brother anu. Anu and Sithis (aka padomay) predate the universe. they are the gods of the gods in a way. The adrea are the ones who gave up some of there power to create mundus (the plane of existence where mortals live). Essentially the deadra are also gods, they just didn't take part in the creation because they wanted to keep their power. Therefore Mehrunes Dagon is a god. he existed even before the realm that Alduin devours existed. He MIGHT even be stronger than Akatosh because akatosh and the other "gods" gave up so much of there power in creating the mortal plane that they are bound to the mortal plane and can't even manifest without a host. The reason he was able to defeat Dagon as an avatar is because Dagon was not entirely in the mortal realm (he was still building his power). The only difference between the daedric princes/gods and the Aedric gods is that the the aedric gods gave up more of there power, this does not mean daedra are inherently stronger because they may have started with less power. I may have been unclear earlier, the Aedra were tricked into giving up there power to create the mortal realm and some got away in time, Magnus for example, so akatosh is NOT the most powerful "being" as some of you seem to suggest, he is tied to the mortal realm. There are many more Aedra and there are most likely more daedric princes, we might not even know about the most powerful ones. For these reasons I choose dagon, he is the god of destruction while alduin destroys one realm every once and a while. Dagon rules his own plane of oblivion. Alduin is nothing special, he is no more powerful than jyggalag who destroys the shivering isle every era. Side note: both Sithis and Anu could kick all the aedra's and daedra's aswell as alduin's @$$es at the same time.
