Oooh, won't be having none of the Talos worship banning in
my story...

...
Doom Drum = Lorkhan, the trickster god who created Nirn, also called Shor in Nordic culture.
They're overlooking one thing however...Lorkhan IS the Dragon Akatosh.
WHAAA??!! @@
It's a simple dichotomy, Lorkhan is the God of Space (the world), Akatosh is the God of Time. Space and time are instrinsically connected. We don't percieve Lorkhan because he is the very space which we occupy. They can't break one, without breaking the other.
That's why the Aedra back up man, over Mer. Not because man has the right knowledge, but because they view the world as a good thing, whereas the Elves want to be et'Ada, or the spirits which Aedra and Daedra and technically everything in Nirn is also...just a different sphere and form.
"Walk like them until you become like them." = The more pie you eat, the more in tune to gravity you are. The more you act and worship like the Aedra, the more connected to this world you become.
Sethyas...to toot my own horn...is in league with Mephala. The more he follows her path, the more in tune with her sphere he becomes. This is why Daedra worship is so frowned upon.
Edited to add: MK still does do some consulting work, and technically anything he would have made as an employee of Beth, becomes the intellectual property of Beth. Which is why he has such a powerful, if not small, following. He does it for the love of the lore, not material gain. I don't think the two dozen people that comprise the 'Cult of MK' (my words, never called as such) have too much of an effect on the Beths financial department.
But when you get into it, you realize that TES Lore is as deep as Tolkeins'. (Cue rabid LotR Fans to attack me.)
