[edit] Tall Papa

See: Ruptga.

[edit] Talos, Tiber Septim, the Dragonborn

Heir to the Seat of Sundered Kings, Talos is the most important hero-god of Mankind. He conquered all of Tamriel and ushered in the Third Era (and the Third Empire). Also called Ysmir, 'Dragon of the North'. One of the Nine Divines, the major gods of Tamriel. The religion is usually called the Talos Cult, not necessarily implying the negative form of 'cult'.

• The apellation "Dragonborn", the Nordic name Ysmir (Dragon of the North) and a reference in the Liturgy of the Re-Kindling which notes Akatosh stating to Alessia, "This shall also be a token to you of our joined blood and pledged faith. So long as you and your descendants shall wear the Amulet of Kings, then shall this dragonfire burn..." seem to indicate that Talos was the son of Saint Alessia and the god Akatosh.

• Note, the name "Talos" is taken from Greek mythology, wherein Talos was a giant bronze automaton given to Europa by Zeus.

[edit] Tava, Yokudan Bird god

Yokudan spirit of the air. Tava is most famous for leading the Yokudans to the isle of Herne after the destruction of their homeland. She has since become assimilated into the mythology of Kynareth. She is still very popular in Hammerfell among sailors, and her shrines can be found in most port cities.

[edit] Thartaag, The World-Devourer

See: The Greedy Man

[edit] Tribunal (Almalexia, Sotha Sil, Vivec), gods of Morrowind

The Tribunal or Almsivi (Dunmer name) is a collection of three gods, Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec, who are worshipped by the Dark Elves (Dunmer) of Morrowind. The Dunmer believe these gods walk the earth and directly rule Morrowind. To any outsider it would appear that the priesthood of the Tribunal is the true power in Morrowind although their secrecy has prevented them from being directly observed for some centuries. Each god has a city dedicated to its worship with a palace or temple in each city where the god supposedly resides. The all-powerful priests of the Tribunal are known to walk the land in fantastic garments, selecting new candidates for the Tribunal who are seized and never seen again.

[edit] Trinimac, Strong god of the Aldmer

Strong god of the early Aldmer, in some place more popular than Auri-El. He was a warrior spirit of the original Elven tribes that led armies against the Men. Boethiah is said to have assumed his shape (in some stories, he even eats Trinimac) so that he could convince a throng of Aldmer to listen to him, which led to their eventual Chimeri conversion. He vanishes from the mythic stage after this, to return as the dread Malacath (Altmeri propaganda portrays this as the dangers of Dunmeri influence).

[edit] Tsun, Nordic god of Trials against Adversity

Extinct Nordic god of trials against adversity. Died defending Shor from foreign gods.

[edit] Tu'whacca, Tricky god

Yokudan god of souls. Tu'whacca, before the creation of the world, was the god of Nobody Really Cares. When Tall Papa undertook the creation of the Walkabout, Tu'whacca found a purpose; he became the caretaker of the Far Shores, and continues to help Redguards find their way into the afterlife. His cult is sometimes associated with Arkay in the more cosmopolitan regions of Hammerfell.
