On the one hand, I find Almsivi--their induction as gods, their motivations, their contributions to TES lore, etc.--very fascinating. Meeting Vivec (again) in ESO Morrowind was a real treat. However, the original Three seems so much more...Dunmer...if that makes sense.

The Tribunal are interesting, wierd, and utterly fascinating... and feel so very wrong! We want to learn more and more, but each time we learn more the darker it all gets. This Vivec fella, he has statues of himself in a city named after himself, and everyone loves him. It's so cool and interesting but so very fucked up. Then in contrast, we see the down-to-earth religion of the Ashlanders, those who remained true to the older ways before Great Houses. And we can't shake feeling that the Tribunal have stolen something special. less

Not that it looks like she's gently ball-cupping, but in terms of how the whole 36 Lessons have hands leaden with significance. For Azura here, she holds dusk and dawn in each palm. But here they are empty. Is she resting? Anyway, she is the Anticipation of your Sotha, right? Dawn to dusk is a cycle, a clockwork mechanism. For the Velothi leaving on their exodus, we know the roles played by the Good Daedra and why they were venerated, but Azura remains that beautiful and mysterious force. A little enigma. less
