Tiber Septim - The Elder Scrolls Lore

Күн бұрын

When it comes to heroes of great renown in the history of Tamriel, none compare to Tiber Septim. The glorious Atmoran Dragonborn General led Cyrodiil to great and unprecedented prosperity. He single-handedly reformed The Empire and subsequently brought the rest of the continent under its control. How did Talos accomplish these feats, and did he really become a god after his death? These questions are (mostly) answered here. Enjoy!

The most impressive person in this lore video is the assassin who single-handedly marched into Cyrodiil, killed the emperor, injured Tiber Septim, and on top of all that, set the palace ablaze and left in one piece. The gods should've ascended him instead lol.

I think the largest evidence that Talos was indeed divine and deserved to be worshiped comes from The Knights of the Nine Storyline. Even Pelinal Whitestrake couldn't banish Umaril's soul from the mortal plane, but he said that now in this time(the time of The Crusaders), the knights had something they never did, the risen ninth divine Talos. After defeating Umaril's physical aspect only with Talos' blessing are you able to travel the the realm which Umaril's soul takes sanctuary and banish it from Mundus. So clearly Talos' has the ethereal power to transcend the planes of existence and and the aspect of omnipotent righteousness that helps define the other of the 8 divines.

It's not really a qustion of whether he did so much as whether he's worthy of worship, and just how powerful he is. In some respects he's more like a Daedra, in others it's almost as if he mantled Lorkhan (I'm convinced that's true, certainly enough betrayl for it.)
