bliviongate: :tes: Now I am not sure if anyone really cares about this but it is something I have always taken interest in.The gods.Now we all know that "The Night Mother" and "The Dread Father" will be incorporated as will The Dark Brotherhood,but what are the other gods of the game?Will there be Daedra Lords,Gods,Etc any more?If not what is the evil kind of god in this game?And will they be using previous gods like Azura?So many questions.Below I will be asking and if you,the community,can answer these,I would be very grateful.So here are my questions...

1.Will The Old Gods Be Incorporated(Except Gods from Guilds)?

2.Have any New Gods been incorporated or do they believe in another set of gods?If so who and why?

3.Will their Be Daedra Lords,Gods,etc. or is there a new kind of evil god(s)

4.Do people in Skyrim believe in the 9 Divine?

Also,if you would like to,post your idea for a new god in the comment section.I really want to hear your feedback.

There's no good and evil gods in TES. The closest approximation would be the split between Aedra and Daedra, which are roughly anolagous to the gods and demons. Aedra are those who took part in the creation of the mortal realm and are usually viewed as "good" by mortal races, whereas Daedra are those who did not and are frequently viewed as "evil" or at least troublesome, though some are more benign, like Azura. Another important distinction is that Aedra can die whereas Daedra cannot, and Aedra can create whereas Daedra can only change.

Look in the lore forum, specifically at the stickies, if you want to learn more about the setting. Everything is gray, gray, gray, with very little in the way of black and white. Hell, even Mehrunes Dagon's not as simple as being the evil guy. He's Destruction. without destruction nothing new can be created. Tearing down an old building to build a new one can hardly be seen as bad in an objective sense.

That was new to me. Very interesting stuff.
