The Death of Alessia

Post » Sat Aug 27, 2011 5:00 pm

Near the end of her reign, as Alessia lay dying, she was visited by Lorkhan, called Shezarr in Cyrodiil. He brought with him a pact from Akatosh, the chief of all gods, for Alessia. Akatosh infused Alessia with his own divine blood, then had Shezarr place her soul into the newly formed Amulet of Kings. Akatosh then sealed off the planes of Oblivion, which keeps the Aedra and Daedra from ever walking Nirn again. Alessia's soul was bound to this seal, as Akatosh vowed: as long as an heir of his and Alessia's joined blood sat on the throne of Cyrodiil, and wore the Amulet of Kings, the seal will remain in place and Tamriel would be safe from Oblivion.



What this means is that Akatosh and Lorkhan co-operated.

Whether this was because Alessia walked a middle line between mer and man during her reign is unclear to me.

What is certain is that both deities were not at each other's throats as they normally are

Alessia created Akatosh and Shezarr.

It sounds to me more like Lorkhan was brokering a deal and Akatosh's conditions were that as long as there was an heir he and his would stay out of mundus. Which makes sense as Lorkhan was always sort of on humanity's side and despite every ones worship of them the gods only being able to influence events rather than take a direct hand seems to be a good thing for mortals. Of course now the deals of and it seems Akatosh/Alduin is making his presence known.
