I might work with Azura. The game just tells us that she is a goddess of sunrise and sunset, but never goes into detail about what that actually means. When I put my knowledge symbolism and comparative religions to that, it it leads me to focus on how these times are moments of transition. It is a time when it is neither day, nor night, and the world hangs between these two states. That makes me think of Azura as a goddess of transitional states, who guides people who are moving from one phase in their life to another.
Now that I've been learning more about the Nine and Daedric Lords (through Lord Haaf-Mersey's eyes) I am having trouble understanding why Azura is not one of the Nine, and Arkay (burials and death) is not a Daedric Lord.
