Is Imperial god Morihaus Lorkhan?

Post » Fri Sep 21, 2012 12:06 pm

I was wondering if the Imperials from Cyrodiil worship Morihaus, and if Morihaus has a different name in
other provinces.

For example, Shezarr in in Cyrodiil is Shor in Skyrim is Lorkhan in Morrowind.
What about Morihaus? He can't be Lorkhan/Shor right?

Morihaus is the First Breath of Man. Didn't Lorkhan have something to do with man?
Why is Ysmir and not Shor considered the same god Talos from Cyrodiil?

For examples (the line I am following):

Malacath: god of orcs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkjnhRGB_C4

Phynaster: god of Altmers
Sotha Sil: god of Dunmer

Is Malooc (from Yokuda) the same god as Malacath (Dunmer) or Maloc (Skyrim)?

Morihaus is a demigod who came from the north. He is called the breath of Kyne and is her son. He is also the father of minotaurs.

Ysmir is considered closer to Talos because at least two of the men who are Talos (Tiber Septim and Wulfharth) took on the name of Ysmir Dragon of the North. His role in the Nordic pantheon is also closer to that of Talos.

So Morihaus is not considered related to Talos, even through he came from the north. Why are there no minotaurs in Elder scrolls games? Why is Morihaus never mentioned in Skyrim? He is so attached to the Nords.
Also, why is Kyne/Kynareth not mentioned in Elven history? Or do the Elvens (Altmer/Bosmer/Dunmer) call him by a different god name?

There is another Ada who called Kyne Monahven (Mother Wind) with a name of Paarthurnax..

The Ysmir "Dragon of North" maybe means "from Atmora", where is to the north of Tamriel. The first Ysmir we are sure about is Wulfharth who is said to "come from Atmora". We also have Ysgramor who was truly from Atmora himself.

As for Kyne, I'd bet for Y'ffre in a quite opposite position, maybe a split of an Ada whose lighter and more padomaic part became Kyne while heavier and more Anuic part became Y'ffre. Yet no direct evidence.

No, That's a minotaur. More specifically the dangerous minotaur "lord" variant.

Kynareth can't be Y'ffre. In High Rock, the Bretons worship Kynareth and Y'ffre as separate deities. Or maybe because they got Altmer blood and their elven side worships one and the man side worships the other side.

You have to understand that all variations of all Nirnic (?) gods exist simultaneously. It is quite possible to worship two versions of the same deity as different deities, due to the mythopoeic link Nirn has to the Aedric planets.

Perhaps Morihaus is an Aedra descended from Kyne/Kynareth.

I consider them the same being, just seen through a different lens, since there are only nine Aedric dominion-planets.

I'd say so. Given the incorrect labeling of Orcs as goblin-kin, Malooc's title as goblin "horde-king" could very well refer to Malacath's title as god-king of the Orcs.

Then he wouldn't be an Aedroth.

Phynaster: god of Altmers
Sotha Sil: god of Dunmer

Huh?
There is no god of the Altmer.

And Azura or the Tribunal as a whole would be the god of the Dunmer

EDIT: on another note. You should start combining your threads, or at least save up some questions for one big one.

No, he's still one, just not one of the original nine, but rather one of those that came about later, one of the progressively weaker ones.
