Who would you worship?

FayJolyn

While I'm not religious at all in a magical universe I would probs like Dibella for when I'm feeling insecure and need some selflove.
Mara and Kynareth also seem alright to me. Azura is hit or miss really.

Fellow bibliophile Hermaeus Mora.

BXR_Lonestar

Shaeogorath. Definitely Shaeogorath

Anti_Virus

I’m not religious in real life, but in the Tamriel universe I would go with Meridia

tomofhyrule

Hmm... probably nobody, tbh. I know it's a bit of a cop out answer, but I've never really been into the lore of the Divines. May well end up depending on which culture's pantheon I grew up in, and even then I wouldn't be devout in any way. Which - let's face it - would probably be Skyrim. I need the cold.

Heck, my main is an Orc who grew up in Skyrim, so he's all "Malacath who?" but at least he knows a few prayers to Kyne.

...now I'm not gonna lie, if I did get a chance to get into Hircine's good graces though... Let's just say I wouldn't exactly be opposed to howling at the moons once a month...

Sanguine.

I'm surprised not everyone would choose him since 99% of people IRL are naturally Hedonist/YOLO!

Oh, a case of projection, I see.

TaSheen

Sanguine would never be anyone I'd want to interact with.

I've been partial to Talos, personally. But if it had to be another, i'd have to be either Sheogorath (guy is hillarious) or Hermaeus Mora ('cuz knowledge).

PrimeSeptim

What people aren't realising is that there are dire consequences for worshipping some Daedra, especially in death.

Hermaeus Mora - you'd end up in his realm going crazy because of all the books and knowledge. I'm pretty sure Skyrim touched on this but whatever the case, what I read wasn't anything desirable.

Molag Bal - well you're probably a masochist or a vampire. But either way you're going to end up in Coldharbour as a soul shriven or who knows what. We've all seen the horrors of Coldharbour by now.

Sheogorath - you'd just go insane in his realm or he'd turn you inside out or into cheese.

Sanguine - "Sanguine, known to his worshippers as the Lord of Revelry, Blood-Made-Pleasure, and he "who tastes the Shaven Fruit", is a Daedric Prince whose sphere is hedonistic revelry, debauchery, wild ***, and passionate indulgences of darker natures. As the Daedra Prince of Lust, Perversity, and Unnatural Sexual Relations, anything in excess is his motto."

He's just the perfect fit for IRL humanity from my point of view. Maybe I should've added, "in my opinion".
Society is all about something, something and rock and roll. Eat, sleep, game, repeat. Music, food, travel, video games, movies, etc. Always chasing the next high. The only reason you probably work is to pay bills and afford video games and other pleasurable (hedonistic) things.

But anyway, he certainly does appeal to me and I bet many other people who are just too shy to admit it.

I doubt anyone who has time to idle around on a forum is anything but a hedonist...Not that that's a bad thing.

I think the nature of an atheist gets complicated when there is evidence of the interactions of various gods.

Julianos but it wouldn't take much for herma mora to ensnare me.

Actually, to me, that sounds like one of the happier endings a mortal could succumb to...

You really can't imagine that there are people who actually long for more, for intellectual stimulation instead of (or in addition to) the simple satisfaction of the most primal needs? If life wasn't more than eating, sleeping, mating, I would have died of boredom already a long time ago.

Or you could just take up a profession that seems important to you personally; important as in "meaningful" or "emotionally satisfying".

Initially when I played Morrowind I was a bit concerned about using soul gems. The thought of capturing souls in a gem seems wrong. So I'd be a bit wary of declaring any sort of allegiance to otherworldly creatures.

Ashnarug

Naturally if you are a Shadowscale it stands to reason that you worship Sithis.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

Syldras

I respect your decision, of course, but people randomly naming a Daedra/Aedra/deity they find cool doesn't seem that much of a lore discussion to me, to be honest.

Codeman1976

Hail Sithis!

Eporem

Not sure if it is worship but my characters in ESO seem to call upon the Elements for aid especially in the casting of spells..

and a little lore from Cipher Agrushna - of Days when Dragons were worshipped as Gods..

TybaltKaine

Arkay. I always gravitate to Arkay worship in all of my single player TES experiences. Nocturnal holds a special place in my heart of hearts as a reformed criminal, but I'd rather not end up wandering the Evergloam for all time, even if I'd get to enjoy the ambiance.

kumenit_taeynav

lorkhan for me since hes the one who started up the idea of the mundus in the first place. theres all sorts of neat and interesting things to experience and explore that just wouldnt exist at all without lorkhan. "but he trapped us in mortal flesh! 😩" well i better get to exploring then, enjoy nirn to its fullest extent before i die!

Sinlar

This one knows some of them as family.
Some of them as adversary's.
And some of them as employer's.

Worship is not a concept that applies in this one's experience.

Daoin

i would build a shrine and have worship of me a thing

RedRokaz

Most likely i would end up worshiping The Tribunal. As for daedric princes, Hermaeus Mora sounds the most intriguing.

Zama666

Depends what they do for me. I'm fickle in worship!

Just in it for the holidays!

The stars! Especially the Guardian star signs. They’re good people who do good work and don’t get enough acknowledgment for it. Plus they give everyone minor superpowers just for being born!

Right? For me, not because his realm is like, the true neutral of the Daedric Princes.

It's because he's hot. Like, March of Sacrifices Hircine? Sign me up.

Riddle'Thar I admit to cheating with that response given that its not a true god but more of a set of spiritual guidelines as to how to live. Khajiiti spiritual practices seem the most sane in the ES universe.

Calastir

Dibella, obviously naturally of course.

If you've ever been inside those temples in 'Daggerfall', I'm sure you'd agree.
