I was looking into the Gods of TES and quickly found out that there isn't really such thing as an objective truth, as the Aedra are all shaped by the beliefs of the people of Tamriel and so i was wandering if we do truly know how many Aedra actually survived to be changed by Mythopoeia. The 8 divine were all created by Saint Alessia and were a mixture of Norse and Elvish religion and both of these religions have 8 core Aedric gods which seems to suggest that there were 8 Aedra that survived Nirns creation which also links up to the planets, but how do we know that this isn't the result of dragon breaks.
