[...]and this is where I get the idea that the Snow Elves are, culturally speaking, particularly sophisticated deceivers and never to be trusted in anything they say or do. Thankyou! :) Oh and such "unlocked doors" as the possibility of Dwemer not actually being extinct are like delicious and exciting prospects in a gamer's\lorereader's mind!

Mmmh, I got the idea that Vyrthur's brother was of an honourable and quite faithful fibre. Could be wrong. And would the Nords highly attend and honour their terrible foe, the Snow Prince, in death, much more than they attended and honoured his killer, their infant hero Finna, in life OR death (something that still makes me smh about that episode...), had there been a shadow of doubt about HIS honour? Nords dont usually take lightly to those things. But yes, you still make a good point.

If you can accept that all scenarios are true then you can reach closure[...]Auri-El could have been testing his faith[...]Auri-El never really cared; Vyrthur and every other person that thinks the Devine's or even Daedra, actually care about them in any way are just fooling themselves. Ironic that a lot of theist scientists exist, isnt it? lol. Some even wear robes of priesthood heh.

Not sure if one should necessarily accept ALL possible scenarios as truth. Or at least it should never prevent discussion from being ignited :) After all, that's the purpose isnt it? To present the doubt and have various different views and knowledges shared in order to reach the truth, and if not, perhaps a group of most plausible and likely scenarios. I think we have succeeded somewhat in that already, and if that was what you meant, then yes I've reached a comfortable closure on the subject I guess, and thanks for that advice :)

Your whole faith testing hypothesis seems pretty reasonable too heh. However, did I misinterpret, or did you contradict it immediately after, with the whole "Deities dont care" thing? And regarding that, I think the way that St Alessia was treated and the way Azura treats are just two examples of too strong of exceptions if that was even to be considered a rule. As usual, stability and change are the only safe rules to have regarding the et'Ada, I believe. Their other feelings and inclinations and attitude expectations are not.
