Talos the false god

Talos or Tiber Septim Is a false god.. and why do I say this? Well only people who dig far enough can figure this out but Talos is not at all who people think him to be even though he is considered god of man I highly disagree. And here's why, during the reign of emperor Cuhlecain Talos was positioned general of his army and of course he was a great general, when Cuhlecain sent him out to prevent an attack from High Rock and Skyrim (who both hated the thought of a new empire) Talos converted the nords of Skyrim to his side using his Thu'um and the army of High Rock was soon defeated later on. But here's the good part, after Talos returned he killed Emperor Cuhlecain in cold blood and then slit his own throat when the guards rushed in he claimed it was assassins that killed the emperor and slit his throat. Now that was a well put together plan, not only did he slice his own throat to make him seem innocent he also later created a cult dedicated to Cuhlecain called The Cult Of Emperor Zero. Talos murdered the emperor and used his powers to convert a entire army to his side if you ask me that's very cowardly but I guess you could also say very smart. In the end Talos shouldn't of decended into god hood but by lies and murder he made his way in, to me that's no god at all.

    This is a big old pant load. You are trying to mash half Lore and half Arcturian Heresy and you do not have either side straight. You fail.

    I am smashing lore with lore, The Arcturian Heresy is considered a historical document saying it was written by Tiber Septims own battle mage. And also putting my own opinion so I have no idea what you're trying to say but I succeed in what Im trying to say.

    Blood of the Divines

    You need the blood of a Divine to open a portal. You use Tiber Septim's blood for this purpose. Q.E.D.

    Now if you want to talk about false gods, there are these three uppity Dunmer I know...

    Yeah.. And we all know that gods never do anything underhanded or villainous.

    Also... It's "ascended" into godhood. Unless, of course, you consider godhood a lower form.

    I don't mean he is not a god I'm trying to say he shouldn't of been able to be one because of the path he took to become one. But yes the 3 dunmer are also false gods who just use Lorkhans heart for their powers.

    And I'm disagreeing since righteousness is rarely a innate trait of gods.

    Whether you like it or not is irrelevant.

    you think gods are non evil?

    you know daedric princes are divine beings right?

    talos is the reincarated shezarrine (the elderscrolls prophecy foretold this) avatar of lorkhan the oppossite of/and Akatosh manifested itself on nirn to unify tamriel, bringin peace thus closing the interregnum

    all elves are scum and liars filthy beasts.

    talos is the ninth divine when he acsends reaching chim, it is unified with his fellow 8 divines.

    This is like saying all the despot leaders that have wrought havok in the world shouldn't have been given power in the first place because they were a**holes. That's simply not how our world works, and it's most certainly not how it works on Nirn. Power is taken, not earned.

    Yes but Talos is suppose to be a divine god in other words a good one not evil yet he used evil ways to become one.

    "Divinity" as a concept, does not pre-suppose good or evil.
    Similarly, goodness is often a matter of perspective.

    This right here. There is no objective good and evil in TES. Was Akatosh good for letting the Ayleids enslave and torture men for ages before saying "Huh, Alessia is cool." Is Meridia evil for helping end the planemeld, or good for opposing the Alessian slave revolt?

    Talos is the only God I know that has murdered and lied to get to where he is now, Sithis however has done terrible things but helped create everything.

    Well, as far as I can tell, there is no -being- known as Psijii.
    So I can only assume you're talking about the Psijic Order as the agents of "Psijii"; which are not exactly a group of saints.

    Everyone seems to be a little confused I'm not saying all the gods are perfect and good I'm saying Talos shouldn't of became a god because what he did to get there at least not a dIvine one no other god has killed and lied to get where they are. And no daedric princes are not really divine they are not among the 9 divine but considering the definition I guess you can technically say they are.

    As far as I know, no other mortal has been deified (could be wrong, but no one is jumping to mind.) And you're clearly still stuck on this idea that "divinity" means "goodness." It doesn't, friend.

    So there's really no precedence for judgement. Unless you count the Tribunal, but they got there through fairly duplicitous means as well.
