Aldmeri God?

This book says "Akatosh was an Aldmeri god". Akatosh is a Nordic god, although he is paralleled to the Aldmeri god Auri-El. Just saying because I was doing research and this was screwing with me lol. Hope 19:10, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Akatosh is a cyrodilic deity with both Aldmeri and Nordic influences though the merrish influence is much more significant. So saying that he is an Aldmeri god is close enough and far more accurate than saying that he is a Nordic one. 212.139.91.92 17:32, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Akatosh seems to be influenced from from most pantheons, how is he most influenced by mer? Not saying your wrong just wondering. Hope 19:35, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

High Elf questionable link

Where the book says, "… Assimilate so much of High Elven religious practices into their native traditions that the two become indistinguishable," the wiki links the term "High Elven" to the page about the Altmer, but in this case, I am fairly sure that the author is referring to the Heartland High Elves, or the Ayleids, and their Daedric pantheon. Should we change the link? Or somehow annotate it? It is quite misleading to the novice researcher. —Zhukant (talk) 20:31, 13 June 2013 (GMT)

It is a bit confused, for sure. It says the slaves inherited many of their master's religious doctrines. As far as we know, the Ayleids were Daedra worshippers, like the Chimer. And yet, their slaves apparently adopted Aedra worship like the Altmer and Bosmer. I'd support removing the link for now. Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 21:01, 13 June 2013 (GMT)

No, I think it makes sense. The Ayleids were High Elves who worshipped the Daedra, but all the "current" High Elves worship the same thing as everybody else in the Empire who isn't some sort of outcast or from Morrowind. But they're still High Elves, "Ayleid" is just a more specific term for them. So I guess I'll just go ahead and link it to Ayleids instead of Altmer. —Zhukant (talk) 23:35, 13 June 2013 (GMT)

The confused part is apparently our understanding of the Ayleids on the wiki. The slaves adopted Aedra worship from their masters, and the Ayleids were their masters. So even though non-Ayleid historians mainly focus on the fact that the Ayleids worshipped Daedra, the logical inference is that they were an Aedra-worshipping society which was generally much more tolerant of various interactions with the Daedra. Sort of a middle ground between the Aedra-worshipping Altmer/Bosmer/Snow Elves and the Daedra-worshipping Chimer. I don't know, though; I'm researching right now for a revamp of the Ayleids page.

Tiber Septim?

Is this book actually available in ESO? It mentions Tiber Septim but during ESO's timeline Tiber Septim should not yet be born by ~250 years. EDIT - Nevermind, just realized the specific ESO variant of this book is linked and does not mention Tiber. Still this raises questions about when this book was written and who updated it to include Tiber Septim, no? Or did Faustillus just find an unclaimed ancient manuscript, add a few lines and then claim he wrote the whole thing? Scandalous. 209.6.53.26 19:21, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I thought the same thing about The Legendary Sancre Tor, but then realized the ESO version cuts off as expected. This is certainly the case with many other lorebooks, so it may be useful to have a list of them with content added after ESO's events. It does make you wonder who updated these books when the author is the same in both versions. As you say, Faustillus Junius is particularly interesting because he's not listed as the book's author in ESO. —Dillonn241 (talk) 00:15, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
