The Tribunal also killed one of Lorkhan's mortal forms, the Nordic hero Shezarr, who led the Nords against the Dwemer/ Dunmer in attempt to reclaim the Heart of Lorkhan and restore Lorkhan's power. In another he was a warlord's teacher who had always been a god. In one he was a young bandit who hooked up with a mercenary and eventually betrayed him. Vivec for instance has two origins, both true. They as well are both gods and not gods, as in doing this, like Talos, they retconned history. They used the Heart of Lorkhan (seeing a theme here) to ascend. Due to this, and also messing about with CHIM he became a god. He was a man who found one of Lorkhan's mortal forms (himself known as many forms - Ysgramor being one of them) and assumed their identity (re: the plot of the game Daggerfall). Besides them there are multiple planes out there which have their own gods, but not all interact with Nirn much. Lorkhan's resurrected himself as various gods and mortals, as are the Aedra/ Daedra known by many names. Auriel being an aspect of Akatosh, but able to act as a separate entity. For this Lorkhan was killed (though this is not a constant, in previous realities Lorkhan was usually alive, though he and Akatosh inevitably lost their fight with Alduin).Īh, on this note in this reality Akatosh had Auriel kill Lorkhan. In our current version of events (.there are many) Lorkhan tricked the Aedra into creating existence, whilst the Daedra maintained their powers.

Out of this came Lorkhan and the Aedra/ Daedra. In the setting if enough people believe in something it becomes real.
