The Missing Shrine
Notable by its absence is the shrine of Talos, the ninth Divine.

On asking Freir about the empty alcove she replies: "Hmm? Ah, yes. That once held the shrine to Talos. But the worship of Talos was banned by the White-Gold Concordat, some time ago."

Freir has further information on the White-Gold Concordat.

The shrine of Talos is restored upon completion of the Stormcloak civil war questline.

Note: in relation to this it is possible to find an Amulet of Talos (20% less time in between shouts) in one of the upstairs wardrobes.
