i love Meridia, that lady knows what she wants!!

Hircine. Prince of the Hunt, Father of Man-beasts and the Sacrifice of Mortals, as well as the Sport of Daedra.

Must say, I do miss that you used to openly praise him in your sig (or location).

Then as far as I can tell, ponies happened.

I can't consider any of the beings in TES as really being gods in the pagan sense from Greek or Germanic myth. The Aedra are "dead", or at least incapable of interfering directly in Nirn because they sacrificed themselves to make the world and the laws of nature. The Greek gods (and Titans and various other things) were both the embodiment of particular features of nature and the sentient minds thereof. They didn't need to sacrifice themselves to make the world because the world had always existed in one form or another.

The daedra are a little closer, but they have the same problem of not being residents of the world, but of an entirely different plane of existence from which they can sally forth at their leisure. The Olympians were distant from man to the Greek mind, but they by no means existed in another dimension.

TES mythology is much more heavily influenced by gnosticism, which its strict spirit-matter dichotomy than any real myth ever was. Which is inevitable, because real myths were and are folklore created by ordinary people for other ordinary people, rather than intellectuals.

Yes... I've noticed an inordinate amount of ponies on this forum.

Well the forum really needed to be about 20% cooler

Nerevarine

Edit: Ponies are everywhere, you can't escape Luna's glowing eyes.

Lol I am favourite god. Moving on...

Vehk wins this one rather too easily, but in worthy second place we have Mephala. Not because of the Vivec connection, but purely based on that line "Mephala's sphere is obscured to mortals". I've always thought that line was bloody cool, really captured my imagination as youngling playing Morrowind.

I'm a big fan of Alduin as well, in particular the Fights of The Aldudagga version. His chaotic trickster incarnation in Skyrim came off as more of a Shezzarine to me. Funny that.

Or Sheor.

Ignorent mer followers.

Lorkhan! Freakish mutant!

Shor!

Magnus, Sithis, Malooc or Baan Dar. Sithis would probably be my favourite though. He's such a chaotic little munchkin.

Sithis is not a god despite what the DB say or believe.

This has been argued many times over lore conversations which mimic chess.
And that is not the nature of this topic, so I'll humbly agree to disagree here.

The God of Nobody Really Cares.

But seriously: Mephala, Boethiah, Kyne, The Old Knocker, Sotha Sil, Molag Bal, Peryite.

Namira, Sheogorath and Hermaeus Mora are my favorites

Hermaeus Mora, Lorkhan, Jyggalag, Vivec and Hoon'Ding are my favourites.

Hircine daedric lord of the hunt and father of the man-beasts.

Mara, Dibella, Stendarr, and Kynareth. I'm a svcker for gods of compassion, six, mercy, and nature.

Namira is a nature goddess, but she is Kynnareth's twisted cousin.

ALL hail the madgod!

Molag Bal shall claim the souls of those who oppose him.

My favorite God is the spirit of The Hunt, the one glimpse of the glorious stalker known as Hircine.
