And so we continued to worship Talos, and revere him as the ultimate hero-god. And if one human, could achieve such a feat - couldn't it be done again? Couldn't all humans aspire to achieve divinity? For he was a god who was once just a man, and through great deeds actually managed to ascend to godhood. Indeed, it can be argued that Talos, the Ninth Divine, became even more important than the Eight that had preceded him, at least to humans. And while some may have different names in the varying provinces (for example, Akatosh is known as "Auri-El" to the Aldmer and Arkay is sometimes known as "Ar'kay"), all are recognized and revered by all races and cultures of Tamriel.īut when Tiber Septim passed to Aetherius, there came to be a Ninth Divine - Talos, also called Ysmir, the "Dragon of the North." The man who was so loved in life became worshipped in death. These gods were, and are, worshipped throughout the Empire. Until Tiber Septim's death, there had been Eight Divines: Akatosh, Dibella, Arkay, Zenithar, Stendarr, Mara, Kynareth, and Julianos. But it is the Emperor's ascent to godhood, as Talos, that is the subject of this work.

This book is a treatise written by Leonora Venatus, the Imperial Liaison to the Aldmeri Dominion, which repudiates the worship of Talos and views the Empire's prior acceptance of his worship as the Ninth Divine to be a "mistake."
