===Other Divinities=== Et'Ada and other gods that don't belong to either group also exist. Some of the more important ones being: *'''Alduin:''' The firstborn of Akatosh and his destroyer aspect, who most believed was just the Nordic version of Akatosh. His job is to bring about the end of the current kalpa so that the next one may begin, but by the time of Skyrim, he's decided to just rule over the world. You defeat him at the end of Skyrim, but unlike any other dragon, his soul is ''not'' absorbed by the dragonborn, leaving many believing he'll return one day to do his job properly. *'''All-Maker:''' Another name for Anu. The god of the Skaal and the source of all life, the Skaal believe that when you die you go to him, and he reincarnates you as new being. Oneness, or harmony, with nature is important, as the Skaal draw their magical powers from it and it pleases the All-Maker. Opposing him is '''The Adversary''', a many aspected god who torments and tests the Skaal. *'''Dagoth Ur:''' The main antagonist of Morrowind, he was once the trusted advisor of Nerevar until he experimented with the Heart of Lorkhan and managed to draw power from it. By the events of the game he is properly batshit loopy with divinity, and also without question the most dangerous thing on Nirn because he exists within a terrifying middle-ground between CHIM, Zero Sum and Amaranth - he has godlike power because of his awarness of Anu's dream but cannot maintain his individuality or fade into the Dream, so his broken, traumatised mind is being slowly imprinted on the dream of Anu. Nevertheless, he seemingly dies by the hand of Nerevar's reincarnation after you sever his connection to the heart. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPAuvfqocFY Affable and almost as infinitely quotable as Sheogorath.] *'''Fa-Nuit-Hen:''' Demiprince (read: Daedric demigod) of swordsmanship and son of Boethiah. Taught then unborn Vivec how to fight by combining with seven other daedra called ''Barons Who Move Like This'' and [[Wat|turning into a pillar of fighting styles]]. You meet him in ESO where you help restore his failing memory. *'''The Ideal Masters:''' Once mortal spellcasters during the Merethic era, they forsook their mortality and physical forms to become beings of pure soul energy. In the process however, they found they had become filled with a terrible hunger for souls. The Ideal Masters are the source of all soul gems, and of the arts of soul-trapping, and therefore enchantment. Their private realm within Oblivion, the Soul Cairn, is where ''every'' soul that is ever trapped in a Soul Gem goes. They rarely bother manifesting at all, though a few gigantic crystals in the Cairn channel their influence and their hunger. Their name comes from their belief that, by removing mortal souls from the cycle of rebirth and trapping them in eternal undeath, they are ultimately granting all beings eternal peace... and there is a small amount of evidence to support this. Despite all this, they aren't really ambitious, and they even helped the hero of ''Battlespire'' because they were tired of Mehrunes Dagon driving across their lawn on the way to the mortal world. *'''Mannimarco:''' An old and powerful Altmer [[necromancer]] and [[lich]], supposedly [[Vecna|became the god of necromancy after the events of Daggerfall and returns as the main antagonist]] for the Mages Guild questline in Oblivion. *'''Morihaus:''' Demigod son of Kynareth who appeared as a winged man-bull. Help Alessia overthrow the Ayleids and establish the Alessian Empire. Also the supposed progenitor of [[minotaur]]s, having been born from the union of him and Alessia. *'''Numidium:''' We're stretching the definition of "divine being" here, but there are little other ways to describe this thing. Numidium is a massive robot built by the Dwemer to act as a god for their race. Constructed by their finest engineer Kagrenac (which says a lot given how ludicrously advanced the Dwemer were compared to everyone else in the setting) and powered by the Heart of Lorkhan itself, it was so awe-inspiringly powerful that it warped the laws of existence every time someone tried to turn it on. The first victims of this quirk were the Dwemer themselves, who attemped to use Numidium in a battle against the Chimer which ended in the Dwemers disappearance. The original Numidium ended up falling into the hands of the Tribunal, who replaced the Heart of Lorkhan with much a less potent, but still sufficient power source (not least because they abused the Heart to become divine beings themselves) and gifted it to Tiber Septim when he was about to conquer Morrowind. Tiber Septim in turn used Numidiums power to quickly force the High Elves into surrender, something that they are still very bitter about thousands of years later. After Tiber Septims time, Numidium was destroyed and forgotten about; until the device Tiber Septim used to control Numidium resurfaced in Iliac Bay resurfaced and became the central MacGuffin that your PC and all factions lust after during the events of TES II: Daggerfall. As the PC finds the Totem of Tiber Septim and reactivates Numidium along with its reality-altering powers time gets fucked so hard for two weeks that no one was quite sure what even had transpired, but the Iliac Bay was suddenly at peace and under Imperial Control, so... justice was served...? The first Numidium, along with the PC from Dagger, vanished. Dagoth Ur attempted to construct a second Numidium under Red Mountain during the events of TES III: Morrowind, this time with the Heart of Lorkhan, spawning the central conflict of that game. *'''The Tribunal:''' Also known as the Almsivi, they were originally three Chimer, the predecessors of Dunmer, Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec, and counselors to Nerevar, who also stole their powers from the Heart of Lorkhan, and promptly ruled over the Dunmer from early/mid First Era to the end of the Third Era. Almalexia eventually went insane and killed Sotha Sil, the Nerevarine killed her, and Vivec got dragged to Oblivion during the events of Oblivion. Without the influence of the Tribunal, the Red Mountain erupted and Morrowind promptly went to shit. *'''Tsun:''' The Nordic god of trials against adversity and Shor's shield-thane, he died fighting against foreign (read: elven) gods and was then assigned to be the guardian of the whalebone bridge leading to the Hall of Valor in Sovngarde. You get fight him for your right to enter the hall in Skyrim. *'''Sithis''': Another name for Padomay. The primordial manifestation of Chaos and Entropy. Exists somewhere outside of the bounds of the cosmos and is practically feared by nearly everyone, given that it represents death and the eventual end of all things. Inhabits a pocket-dimension called the Void. The Dark Brotherhood have a peerless connection to Sithis (the only entities who come close are actually trees known as Hist), and all things slain through their assassinations ends up in its realm. Basically the God of Many Faces from [[A Song of Ice and Fire|ASOIAF]] mixed with [[Mythology#Deities of Destruction|Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction]]. To contact Sithis, one must perform the Black Sacrament (an offering of human flesh, bones, and heart). If Sithis accepts, it passes on the information about the Sacrament and who it was intended for, to the Night Mother, a now-mummified corpse that is intimately connected to Sithis, who then in turn will pass it on to the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, called the Listener (named that way because only listeners can actually hear what the Night Mother says) and then passes the contract on to the field operatives of the Dark Brotherhood.
