The

The What is up?

Welcome back to the Elder Scrolls podcast.

I'm Scott, as always, here with Michael and Drew.

And today we are talking all about the nine divines or eight divines depending on your

political persuasion I suppose.

But we'll start getting into it but I just want to throw out one sort of parameter.

We're going to try and keep this a little more grounded in the sort of imperial understanding

of the divines. So we're not talking about

just the Adra broadly. Like we'll bring them up, you know, other interpretations occasionally to

sort of contrast them. But we're going to keep it, you know, Talos Akhetosh, RK, you know, that kind of

thing. So where do we want to start? Do we want to start with like the biggest hitters or do we actually

want to start with some of the? Well, what about how about starting with some actual law on the

divines and how they were created in the first place? A little bit of an overview of how obviously

we had St. Alicia make these divines because she had help with her slave rebellion from the Nords,

but then the needs, they had the old, Old Mary pantheon because they just took the pantheon

of their overlords and then to kind of like make everyone get on, which, you know, it kind of sounds

silly when you think about it. Like, I don't think Nords would be, like, happy with any changes. But she did get all of the kind of pantheons and blur it into her own one. To be honest, I actually would say, like, it's probably even a little bit more human flavored anyway. Just because... Than Elven, it is. Yeah. But just changing gods in general, I would find strange.

Like, there's a line somewhere that's like, oh, it wasn't exactly the same, but it was good enough for the Nords.

I feel like if you had like a...

Like a...

If you saw it happen, I feel like the change would have been a little bit more gradual.
