The soul is not indivisible: in fact, it's explicitly divisible, because mortal souls are the fragments of the Aedra and continue to divide and recombine as mortals procreate. Hence, a mortal soul can go to several different "afterlives" without issue.

I think that is just a gameplay mechanic. Afaik there was talk of liches doing stuff humans would normally do too, they are just animal like in-game. That being said, I'd love to see liches playing around with items on an enchanting table if you sneak up instead of just standing there and gazing in the dusty wall. Or maybe they are just meditating on the immortality of the may bugs.


How exactly, if you can kill both Vivec and Almalexia prior to destroying the heart?

I feel that's unlikely, if you try to capture a Dremora and only have a petty gem, then that Dremora does not get captured, not even a part of him. You either capture it all or nothing.


You can't, you just defeat them. Technically the two/three (counting Sotha Sil, who was dead, even though you didn't kill him) could return probably at any time but just didn't, why I don't know. Most likely explanation? Gameplay. Regardless none of the Tribunal members could die before the heart lost it's enchantments.

Aah I see. Thanks for clarification

Mehrunes could use them as slaves or maybe just destroy. Mehrunes Dagon is believed to consider vampires no more than petty, or less. So the same might go for werewolves.

"Mehrunes Dagon has no more love for my kind than for my mortal subjects. Less, perhaps, as we make poor slaves."-Janus Hassildor.

But really what is the difference? One was mummified and the other is not. They both are practically the same thing and serve the same purpose, it's just one has a little more skin and hair than the other.

Draugr seem to have been servants of the dragon priests, which all died out long ago. Technically you shouldn't encounter any Draugr in any tomb where there are no dragonpriests, pretty much meaning no Draugr in any tomb build after the dragonwars.

As for other differences, I think Draugr are capable of some reason for existence whereas Skeletons have none. Draugr will defend the area they are in and serve the priests alongside which they were burried even in death. Skeletons just like to smash things.

Draugr being connected to dragon priests isn't a fact. Jurgen Windcaller has Dragur in his tomb, and he died sometime after the Battle of Red Moutain.

We don't even know if a Daedric Princes can claim Dragon Souls. Aren't Dragons more strongly bound to Mundus than mortals?

Only some Draugrs serve Dragon(priest)s. The Draugr in Morrowind were cursed for their cannibalistic ways.

Also, plenty of Draugr in Skyrim are just mummified corpses raised by necromancers.

Or Draugr that were killed and raised again.
