Quote:
The dadra are weaker than the adera, that's what they said in the dadra section.
Wrong, the Aedra foolishly poured there power into the creation of Nirn. The Magna'ge fled early. And the Deadra refused. Because of that the Deadra have more remaining power.
Well, Deadra act as presiders over the realms they made of there soul. Lorkhan knew he as the initater would get the power of Nirn. A smart trick if I say so.
But the Magna'ge and Aedra ganged up on Lorkhan and "killed him". Now Akatosh and Magnus of all the people that pitched in on Nirn had the most power to throw around and consequently are about as powerful as a Deadra. In Magnus' case even more!
The last variable is that the power of Nirn in Lorkhan's absence was split between the Aedra with the most worshippers. So Akatosh. By contrast Akatosh has enough power coming from Nirn that he can full well rival a Deadra.
In conclusion. Aedra are generally less powerful. But more prominently worshipped Aedra like Akatosh posses power to rival or succeed a Deadra! Ina a way everyone's correct!
