'''"Serve and obey your Emperor"? Doesn't even sound like Akatosh to me''', it sounds more like Imperial propaganda. Then you don't know Akatosh... did you forget that Akatosh aided Alessia in creating the first Empire? Or the Amulet of Kings? Did you forget how Akatosh's blessed armor is literally the same armor the Emperor wears? No, I didn't, Oblivion was literally the first ES game I played.

As lord of the Aedra, Akatosh took pity on the plight of Men, who were slaves of the Ayleids, and drawing precious blood from his own heart, blessed Alessia with the blood of dragons. He also made a Covenant that so long as Alessia's generations were true to the dragon blood, Akatosh would endeavor to seal tight the Oblivion Gate for good and deny the armies of Daedra and undead to their enemies, the Ayleids.

He granted a blessing, made a covenant, and that was it. Tell me, if Akatosh cared so much, why did he wait until Martin Septim, after a long and grueling campaign to get back the Amulet of Kings from the Mythic Dawn, had taken the Amulet to the Dragonfires and found out there was nothing he could do except pray to Akatosh for help, to do anything to help, when there was so much freaking destruction going on? Dagon freaking destroyed an entire city months before, and Akatosh didn't lift a single talon until Martin comes ridiculously close to solving the problem himself only to come up short. Yeah, doesn't sound like a god that's generally concerned for the well-being of men.
