So I’ve never really understood how the All-Maker of the Skaal fit in to the various gods and goddesses of the Elder Scrolls universe.
Is He fictional? Or is the All-Maker an avatar of someone like Akatosh or Lorkhan. What are you thoughts?
Who do you think all maker of the skaal really is and how he fits in with other gods of tamriel? I think he might be related to the one god worshipped by the allesian order or maybe even anu himself
Looking at the deities of TES, they are all the same person, but have different images to mortal ethnicities or groups. And looking at the religion of the Skaal itself, it's best said that All-Maker is every single Aedric entity in the series, combined. Why do I think of this?
I honestly do not know. But observing the lore, know that the deities mortals have worshiped are all 'the same', only difference is their name and their culture for the mortals (Akatosh is Auriel. Sheor, Shor, Shezzar is Lorkhan. Zeht is Zenithar). From the Eight Divines to Lorkhan's allies, they are simply attributes in the All-Maker. Why combine all the Divines though? The Skaal could just worship the Eight like any other Nord. The answer for that is convenience. To worship Eight, or Nine gods is simply confusing. Better to all just make them one, and the Skaal have that.
However, why would the Divines/All-Maker give the Skaal a few Wind Stones and a beacon for protection in their village? Just as the Divines give the Empire Tiber Septim, Boom! The All-Maker already know what is best for certain groups and races.
I have a couple of Theories with evidence to support them but I want to know what you think
Lorkhan: The All-Maker is said to be the maker of all things, this sounds alot like Lorkhan who created the universe along with the Adrea
Akatosh: Akatosh is worshipped by nearly every race on Tamriel as leader of the gods, its not unreasonable that he could be the All-Maker for this reason
American Indians do not worship a "great spirit" this is a myth about their cultures.
This thread is a continuation of the discussion, that happened here.
Who or what is the All-Maker Skaal worship? Is it Anu, why not?
Skaal and Alessian Order are the only two known instances of monotheistic religions in the TES universe.
What if enough mortal belief could re-merge the divines into a single entity, creating a new oversoul of the All-Maker.
Discuss. But, please, keep it on topic this time.
Now we know religion is a thing we can relate to but I was curious. If you lives in Tamriel, which God or gods would you worship more? If you're people don't worship the divines like say you were a dunmer, Daedric princes count as well.
