"There's only one god, ma'am:" Picking your fav ES deity

There are many powerful beings in ES lore: from the divines to the daedra, from the Tribunal to demi-daedra. If you had to choose just one to dedicate your life to, which would you choose and why?
Or perhaps you refuse to bow down before any being or you would yourself seek to become a god among men and mer?
Feel free to approach this from your IRL preferences, or from the view of your various ES characters.
For me, I'd choose Y'ffre, "the god of song and forest" because I'm partial to Bosmer lore and the idea of idolizing nature and its laws. Y'ffre is associated with story-telling and lore as well -- one of my favorite pastimes as you can imagine.
Thanks for posting!

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!3 -

✭✭✭✭✭My main couldn't pick ONE, she's a dedicated Star-Gazer. My Dragonguard Argonian probably holds Akatosh in highest regard, though he's never struck me as particularly religious. I don't know if my Redguard priest of the Eight holds any of the Eight above the others...hmm.#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

Elder_III✭✭✭✭For most of my characters I would pick Zenithar, Stendar, Julianos, or Mara --- probably in that order, but it's somewhat character dependent.Semi retired from the trading aspects of the game.1 -

"Hmm" indeed. I imagine a priest would try to give them all appropriate adoration but... surely one must be most dear? Edited by T0M_R3V3N on April 22, 2016 8:19PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭My main character is used (with some adaptations) in numerous RPGs and always follows some sort of earth/nature deity. In TES games that's Kynareth/Khenarthi, because she is also driven to travel and explore (even when she has much more important things to be doing). Although she's also drawn to Azura, because her last name (for unrelated reasons) means dawn star.
My Imperial crafter is a bit of a traditionalist and follows the 8 Divines and Akatosh in particular.
And my argonians won't even tell me what they believe, except that it's not for outsiders to know.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Pepper8Jack✭✭✭Pagans! Heathens! Heretics!
Cast aside you false gods and frivolous idols! Open you hearts and gaze into the flames and the truth of your ignorance will manifest before you.
There is but one true God, and we all must allow his light to guide our path.
For the night is dark, and full of terrors.
