Thus Trinimac became Malacath, and thus the good-aligned Azura and Meridia are both Daedra in spite of being helpful to mortals. All Aedra and Daedra mean are whether that aspect of divinity is involved with creation or destruction in Mundus.
In a way, all of the Divines can be thought of as merely titles, except at present Ehlnofey or something older fill those slots. Both transformed, and granted their divinity, and all the titles that went along with it, to heroic mortals. And Lorkhan didn't die, he pulled an Osiris and became not just the God of Mortals, but the Mortal God, and rules over the Dreamsleeve (Sovngarde IS the Dreamsleeve Sovn = sleep, Garde = vessel). It's more a case of a mortal and his/her body being filled with the divinity.īut Sheogorath didn't die himself, he merely became Jyggalag.
Divines can be killed btw, deadra can only be banished and thus they can return eventually, so in godly terms they are more divine than the divines XDĪs another poster said, the absence of a god causes someone to fill that space Talos the mortal became Lorkhan the divine, and the hero of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath.
