Who or what is Talos?

All of the gray is a mix of Padomay and Anu, as such all beings are a mixture of the two forces (some more than others). Don't let the altmer's BS clog your ears.

The realms are coterminous. Each shares the center, I. When the crazy moth-priest, from et Ada Eat the Dreamer, said that Aurbis is hologram, and "all the interplay is one flea of assertion..." he's including the Daedra.

A single Wheel? More like a Telescope that stretches all the way back to the Eye of the Anui-El, with Padomaics innumerable along its infinite walls.

Pardon, I'm struggling with this. Do you mean to suggest that Mundus is not unique in its Center-ness, in its ability to assimilate, in equal parts, Is and Is-Not?

If that is what you're suggesting, then this would mean Lorkhan was a fool after all, and that Mundex Arena is contested ground for naught. This doesn't make sense to me.

To be clear, I'm legitimately asking for clarification, I'm not trying to dismiss/provoke.

The Daedra were witnesses of Convention, and they learned how to be immortals, keeping their divine centers to themselves. They merely learned how to form around the center, from Magnus' own plans for Mundus. The quote affirms all spirits share one existence, which is Anu's soul. Anuiel's the laser of the hologram.

Also keep in mind, the quote came from an Altmer, who would say Lorkhan the Padomaic taught the other Princes their profane theft of holy Anu's soul.

Not necessarily, no. Recall the originally gray. Also recall that even Daedric realms must unite some aspect of Aetheria with the Void; this is what sigil stones did in the Oblivion crisis. What makes Mundus unique is mortalit. It is unique in its being a gift, of sorts. "That you might know how not to."

I think it means that the daedric entities are not capable of reaching Amaranth because they do not know sacrifice.

Talo's is a god perpetuated by the Imperial preisthood lauding over the deeds of General Talos, who was crowned Tiber Septim and united Tamriel via diplomacy and bloodshed (whichever was convenient).
This Myth can be erradicated by the breaking this oppressive empire up with the nations gaining their own independence or self rule, in which im determined Skyrim will secede even if it means the destruction of Solitude and other imperial strongholds if they resist.

What is Sheogorath but the Sithis-shaped hole of the world? Sheogorath practically IS Lorkhan. Look at Arden-Sul and how he mantled Lorkhan to become Sheogorath. The CoC mantled Sheogorath, which is, in turn, mantling Lorkhan.

If you can mantle anyone, wouldn't the Temple faction Pilgrimage from Morrowind cause everyone to mantle Vivec?

I said something similar to this a while back,indicating a link between oblivion and the isles ( the events are the same to me ). I was thinking ( maybe to much ) about sheo and jygg. Meaning it was similar to akatosh/lorkhan,but it basically got dismissed by most. I think "lady N" said there was a connection,but maybe not as much as i thought. I haven't looked into it since,but whether it's my obsession with the isles or not,sheo,jygg,akatosh,lorkhan is important to me. I also mentioned dagon,but sort of backed away from that,for now. To me however you look at it,sheo and dagon are always in the fray somewhere. What got my attention after my post also,was sheo was or is the void shaped hole in lorkhans chest.Something like that. I'm nowhere near as knowledgable as most here,but sometimes no matter how small an idea or connection is,that could ultimately lead to something bigger or something we never thought about.

Sorry to have babbled on. :)
