    People of Tamriel believe many different things, not all of them necessarily true. Just like the people of our own real world.

    I want to find out what is true or at least the version closest to it.

    Lol, here's MK on writing good lore:

    The best advice I can give about the lore and the creation thereof is something I learned from Uncle Ken:

    Tell God's story, then tell the farmer's story, then listen to what the dog has to say.

    If you can hit all of those marks, your worlds will seem real.

    The truth lies where exactly?

    Very nice Karves, ties in with our knight discussion nicely and turns out you like knights just as much as I

    That all the myths of the transformation feature him being stripped of his knightly virtues in some way only lends weight to your comment.

    Well there isn't but I believe a few Ancient Roman Emperors killed their generals due to their popularity. 

    There is also the Betrayal of Leningrad / Leningrad Affair which is somewhat similar. I don't know if you heard about it thorien.

    Stalin was paranoid of Leningrad's publicity after the Siege of Leningrad. He suspected that Leningrad could produce a rival power base to his own. So he had the Leningrad Party Organization purged and some 2000 people were executed, exiled or imprisoned between 1946 and 1950 including Pyotr Popkov, Aleksei Kuznetsov and Nikolai Voznesensky, important players in Leningrad's survival and attempted post-war renaissance.

    Then again Stalin was always paranoid.

    Well I wouldn't fully agree that Auri-El was involved in Triminac's transformation into Malacath. It does raise an eyebrow.

    It amuses me and saddens me that people in our world have deep discussions over religious beliefs who's gods don't exist.

    You read my mind?)))

    In fact, if they were only having discussions, that would be fine, discussions don't hurt anyone...

    Well, as far as I've learned at school, Rome had its share of sick Emperors,  and that Stalin was a sick psycho, that everyone knows)))

    I doubt any sane king would do that.

    Is framing someone really all that's needed to become a god on TES? Lol)

    Where is Stendarr then?

    It's usually there where the God's story hasn't yet begun and the farmer'r and the dog's has already ended))

    "Tsun took her by the hair, for he was angered by her words and heavy with lust. He was a berserker despite his high station, and love followed battle to his kind. "You weren't made for that kind of thinking," Stuhn said, dragging Dibella towards a whaleskin tent,

    Tsun shifts to Stuhn who shifts to Trinimac. Must you argue everything I say?
