That reminds me, what is with the Skaal? The Deadra don't seem to hurt them directly, instead they send mortal servants like werewolves and Miraak to attack them instead of doing it themselves, almost like they can't. I know Deadra usually send someone else to do their dirty work, but then why aren't they sending lower Deadra to do it? The Skaal technicly call most of them Differant facets of the Devil, their religion is not based on Deadra or Aedra, when the Dunmer worshiped the Tribunal Azura punished them by turning their skin grey and their eyes red.

Then why aren't the Skaal punished?

We know the entity known as The All Maker exists to an extent,(Due to the fact that you can get blessing from All Maker stones.)

The Skaal also have powers beyond normal magic. Because the Skaal in Dragonborn created a barrier that shielded them from the power of a Dragon Priest Dragonborn, Miraak. Who could stand against such power?! An old shaman guy that sits around a campfire.

I'm just saying that this is a very complicated puzzle.
