Hmm. I haven't read any previews mentioning any pantheon, Nordic or Imperial.

Who knows, we may even be Shor in Skyrim o_O

This is why my first character in Skyrim is going to traverse the land for KNOWLEDGE!!!

I hope we are Shor are to. It just would not be right if Shor does not show up in Skyrim.

The Eight Divines was a Alessian/Cyrodiilic invention for Cyrodiil only. The singular reason why the Nords would be worshiping the Eight Divines is if Tiber's Empire had somehow influenced them into it over time. Not to mention the book "Varieties of Faith in the Empire" does not have the Nords worshiping a single Cyrodiilic deity by the name used in Cyrodiil. Shor/the Nordic Pantheon should still be predominent.

Unless if they all changed their minds since Morrowind.

True, the Nine Divines started in Cyrodiil, but they are interested in converts. But I take back what I said about the Nords liking the Nine being fine. When I think about it, it's stupid. I'd be a horrible narrative move, IMO, for Shor to have little to do with a plot when Alduin is the main villain. Not to mention throwing away a chance to portray another view of the Aedra.

Yep, total retcon. Now we just hope we're wrong.

So we did literally speak with Shor then. I mean Pelinals ghost spoke to us. If we take him being a shezarrine as truth then we just basically spoke to Shezarr. I mean, Shezarrines ARE beings that know they are part of Shezarr correct? As in they have understanding of exactly what they are right?

Yep. A shezarine knows his identity AND mission...

Some of the strangest tend to happen to them....such as reforming from ashes in the case of Wulfhart

I'm assuming we'll be some sort of avatar. Lorkhan or maybe Akatosh I suppose, what with all this soul assimilating and considering that mortals are supposedly only seperated from gods by the "size" of their souls. I'd imagine that a succesful Dovahkiin would amass a rather impressive soul, not to mention the ability to slow time, cause lightning storms and set people on fire (to name a few) all by shouting. If that dosen't qualify for godhood I don't know what does.

Genocidal against mer. That's perfectly fine, if not downright pure good.
