Ok, I'm super tired from two nights of insomnia so don't strike me down with all your hate (especially on this day!)

But I'm trying to think what would be the equivalent of the Wizards in Middle Earth in TES? I'm talking about either a human or a spiritual entity that physically involves itself with Tamriel in a way that is very similar to the likes of Gandalf and Radagast. I'm also thinking powerful, wise but maybe kindly too.

Shezarrines and Dragonborn are probably the closest thing, as far as being spirits sent to the mortal world with an otherworldly agenda.

yeah, pretty much these

I was going to say Shezarrines or maybe...maaaaybe...the HoonDing.

Pelinal could die multiple times like Gandalf did, and he traveled around a lot, but he wasn't wise or kindly
