Honestly, this CHIM thing, while I think it's cool that a character is self aware they are in a video game, and it's a fun little easter egg, but I don't think Bethesda is serious about it. Sure they support the idea, probably as a joke. If the answer to everything was "I'm in a video game", it just wouldn't fly. So therefore, I don't take it seriously. It's like actually taking seriously the theory that all Leonardo DiCaprio movies are actually all connected and take place in the same universe, (It's a fun one honestly). Sure, cool coincedences, but it's not serious.

Satakal may or may not exist. I honestly don't think it does. Again, it could be a term to describe the general Anu/Padomay scheme of things, not an actual deity. Talos I think is a strong god, but also one of the weaker ones as he was Mortal, and becoming a god would be very new to him, and it would take a long time getting used to. Plus, Talos wasn't even an Aedra. Lorkhan, sure I can go with third place. However, Akatosh would be above him. He survived, Lorkhan didn't. Magnus, again, is the most powerful. He built Mundus on magic, which is why normal people are able to use it and tap into it, it's the universes power source, but he withdrew before the creation of Nirn before his power got drained, and tore a hole through the sky. We can see the marks of the other Divines, what we percieve as the planets. Sure, Akatosh would be stronger than him once, but Akatosh got his powers drained. And we know Akatosh can go toe to toe with anyone, but Magnus would beat him out. Easily. Akatosh is weak nowadays. Magnus has got all the power he needs.

Vivec, knowing he is a video game character or not, still lost his immortality. It is specifically stated that they lose their godhood when the divine connection between them and the heart is severed. True, he may or may not be alive, as he is Chimer, and I don't know how long they usually live, but rest assured, his power, along with that of the tribunal, is gone.
