Talos is for Nords (and lesser so for Imperials)

What

Magnus is for Altmer (and lesser so every other elven race)

He is the patron saint for nords

Whether or not he was dragonborn (with no powers unlocked) or a divine or barenziah's lover or hjalti (which he wasn't not only is the sword too old to have been his but many battles were at old hroldan involving the nords and the ghost predates him by at least 2500 years)

Is all debatable (except last one)

Nonetheless the 8 are like kings and talos and Magnus are like lords they have power and are influential and are also likely demigods but to worship them as much as a major god is ridiculous

Akatosh along with the other 8 deserve more worship if you are an imp.

If a Nord then it should be greater than or equal

If not then you really have no reason to worship so probably no worship

Same with Magnus if you're an altmer, another elf, or a human First of all Talos and Magnus are most certainly not Demigods, a demigod would be someone like the Nerevarine, the Underking, or the Dovahkiin. Also, Magnus was definitely more powerful than Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Zenithar, Stendarrr, Julianos, and Arkay, and later more powerful than Akatosh (after he was bound to Mundus).

Talos is the most powerful of all, as Talos mantled the god Lorkhan (who was an equal to Akatosh) and learned CHIM.

Exactly that...Michael Kirkbride's list of the most powerful figures in all of ES has Talos as #1 while Auriel is somewhere down the list (#9 I think?) and Akatosh isn't on the list at all.
