There are a lot of different faiths evident in Skyrim. Most of the races have their own, sometimes overlapping pantheons. Some consider Daedra to be their g☂ods, and some have whole different ideas on cosmology. One of the most commonly held religions in the nation is the worship of the Nine Divines, or possibly Eight Divines. That’s a bit contentious.
However many there are officially, their power can be felt in the mortal world by invoking their blessings, through praying at altars, or donning an amulet of the chosen Divine. Choosing the correct one to pray to in a specific situation, can be a key to success. Choosing the wrong one might get you murdered by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Thalmor. Keeping the faith isn’t always easy.
9 Zenithar - When You're Going Shopping
Zenithar is a divine that governs work𓂃, trade and crafts. Represented by the symbol of the anvil, this member of the Imperial pantheon blesses hard work and anything that concerns the lawful spending of coin. For this reason, his blessing is perfect if you’re about to load up on new gear in a city. Pric🉐es from merchants will be ten percent better when Zenithar’s blessing is active.
Aside from the Temple Of The Divines, there is a shrine to the craftsman god a little north of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Riften’s stables.
8 Stendarr - When You're Using A Shield
While his Vigilants might give a different idea, Stendarr is the god of mercy and forgiveness. He has been considered a patron of rulers and judges, though after the Oblivion Crisis the 'Vigilants Of Stendarr' formed to hunt Daedra, and might be more than a little heavy-handed in their approach toward it.
Despite his rather aggressive following, Stendarr’s blessing is all about defence. Wearing his amulet, or praying at his shrine will grant a ten percent bonus to blocking with shields. Like many of his peers, a shrine to him can be found in Solitude, and another sits not far from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rorikstead.
7 ꦍ Julianos - Wh𒁃en You Want To Cast Big Spells
Julianos is the Divine associated with logic and wisdom. He's the patron of spellcasters, due to the learning involved. Orders dedicated to Julianos are generally those responsible for the Elder Scrolls, which is just as well, given the insanity-inducing properties of the artifacts. He has no dedicated temple in Skyrim, aside from the pantheon-spanning Temple Of The Divines, though a few of his shrines can be found out in the wilds.
Getting the blessing of Julianos adds 25 points to Magicka, allowing the casting of spells that would have otherwise been unachievable 🔴to a Dragonborn not leveled for 🌃spell casting capacity.
6 Talos - Wh🦋en You Wan🅷t To Shout
The most controversial of the Divines in Skyrim, Talos is an ostensible god who was once a mortal man, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tiber Septim. This fact is what makes Talos' worship despised by the Thalmor, and means that his shrine cannot be found in the Temple Of The Divines, with only an empty plinth there. A Stormcloak victory would change this - though in the meantime, there are shrines to him in Markarth and Whiterun.
Praying to Talos increases the power of Shouts by 20 percent, invaluable if you need to weaponize the Thu'um for something.
5 Akat▨oshও - When You Want To Cast A Lot Of Spells
Akatosh, represented often by the symbol of a dragon, is the father god of the Divine Pantheon and ruler of time. Akatosh's avatar played a key role in the end of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, where Martin Septim came to embody the form of a huge flaming dr🌳agon to battle Mehrunes Dagon.
One of his shrines can be found in Solitude, another overlooks Rorikstead. Like Julianos, Akatosh's blessing affects Magicka, though as a time god, it increases the rate at which it replenishes by ten percent. This may be more helpful to a seasoned mage than an increase in capacity.
4 Arkay - When You Know You're Going To Get Hurt
A god of both birth and death, Arkay plays a fairly large part in the life of Skyrim's cities. More specifically, shrines to the god can be found in all Halls of the Dead. His priests are repelled by the concept of necromancy, presumably as it is fundamentally opposed to the order of their God.
Gaining the blessing of Arkay will add 25 points to the Dragonborn's health, which is extremely helpful when entering situations where you're going to take a lot of damage.
3 Mara - ꦬWhen You Need R🐻estoration Magic
Mara, possible consort of Akatosh and mo🌳ther-goddess is one of the two Divines that govern love. Mara’s love refers more to that of family and home. If you lean on the Restoration magic tree to get through quests, then seeking the blessing of Mara is a good move. While the blessing is active you receive a ten percent boost to Restoration spells.
An Amulet of Mara bestows the blessing, but also can be used to propose marriage to certain NPCs who catch your eye. Aside from Solitude, the Goddess' temple in Riften is an easy place to acquire her assistance.
2 Dibella - When You Want To Be Charming 💯
The second goddess of love in the Divine pantheon, Dibella's brand of affection is more of the recreational kind. Worshippers tend to take a few partners as part of their devotion, though this isn't always looked favourably upon by others. Markarth hol𝓰ds a temple to Dibella, and she has her niche in the Solitude Temple.
Dibella, as a goddess of beauty, brings supernatural charisma with her blessing. Praying at a Shrine of Dibella grants a ten point bonus to your speech skill. It's perfect if you need to be particularly persuasive to get what you want.
1 ꦜ Kynareth - When You Need To Run 𝕴
Kynareth is the Goddess of air, sky and wind. She is venerated by the Nords as Kyne, who is associated with animals and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Th'um. The shout Kyne's Peace is particularly a tribute to her animal association, as using it will immediately calm any wildlife in range. While she is represented in the Temple of The Divines, Kynareth also has her own dedicated temple in Whiterun.
Praying to the Goddess will grant the blessing of +25 stamina. This is helpful for melee fighters, though also similarly helpful if you think you're going to spend a lot of time running from things. Truly helpful for both predator and prey.
